BULLDOZING TIE MAYOR.

The Butte Miner this morning gives his
honor, the mayor OF Butte. a column Of
we'll digested advice, explaining to him how
into microscopic proportions. To reveal
the clements of greatness, the Miner is Of
the opinion that he must at once get off
the municipal perch, as it were, and find
out who the aldermen will permit him to
name as assistants in the executive depart
ments under his supervision and control.
If he does this, High Olympious is not too
altitudinous for his honor to aspire to.
But il he does not, If he persists in hav-
ing a mind of his own and using it, then

| he will shrink up like The great re-incar-
| mated She in her second baptism OF fire.
So the fiat hat TIL gone forth, and the mayor
knoweth whereof he standeth in the Min
er's department of political economy.
There a1esome.h however, who Will not ac-
cept this advice in the instantaneous spir-
1t in which it was doubtless given. They
will believe that the Miner feels that the
ground is slipping out from under 1t in
its Efforts to bulldoze the mayor, and
that as a last resort it Is trying the old
plan of catching flies with molasses. 1t IS
pretty we'll understood that the mayor
has been gaining ground right along; that
public sentiment has practically crystal
LIED his way: that men who are intepend-
emf of all political factions, rings and
cliques, n who want to see the niachi,tl
cry Of the city move along without fricr
things. have decided hat in all Justice Ne
should have an opportunity to name the
assistants for whose competency and conl
duct he must stand responsible, and upon
whom he must in a large measure rely
for the success of his administration. =
Most men believe in fair play, even to
political opponents. 1t is unfortunately
true that the long-drawn democratic row
in this state has educated some nen to
believe that any kind of a cat-hop is ex-
cusable if a political advantage of any
kind can be figured out, regardless of the
right of the public to be intelligently
served by men in positions of responsible
ity and trust. But the mass of the people
are not as yet ready to recognize the po-
litical orthodoxy of such thimble rigging
systems of procedure.
To the average man the right of the may

fectly natural one under the law; and the
right of the council to reject his appoin-
teesis contingent Upon the question Of the
character and ability of the individual.
duly set forth in the exercise Of it's veto
power. Under the circumstances, it
would seem that Mayor Mccarthy is
showing elements Of mental strength by
pursuing a course directly opposite to
that suggested by his confidential adviser
-the Butte Miner. Many would doubt-
less see within his honor symptoms Of de-
crepitude were he to surrender the ad-
vantage ground which he clearly pos
~sesses, when measured from the stand
point of public right.

THE SHERIFF FOUND HIS MAN.

Arizona Republicans: Sheriff l.. w.
Wakefield of Tucson has just been en-
gagged in an official performance for
which he will receive no pay. The sheriff
came over here last Monday with a sub
poena for a man named Ed Jones, wanted
as a witness in the case of the killing of
a colored hobo by John Miller, a saloon
keeper at Tucson, last November.
The subpoena stated that Jones lived at
Buckeye. The sheriff made diligent in
quiry for him here. n ascertained that
there was no Ed Jones in the Buckeye
country, and that none had been there
within the memory Of the oldest resident.
The sheriff returned to Tucson and found
the man he was looking for.
But, Notwithstanding the sheriff knows
precisely where Jones is. he will not be
present at the trial. He is dead. He is
the man who was shot, n is now buried
under five feet Of earth in the Tucson
graveyard. When the sheriff got back
to Tucson and learned Jones's locality
and figured up the mileage that had been
piled up on his account, he was at first
disposed to resuriect that evasive. wit
ness and serve the papers on him. That
and expenses, for in Arizona a sheriff is
not supposed to get pay for a mission
unless he fully ~accomplishes it..
Jones courted death. He a with a
crowd OF other hobos in Miller's saloon,
and engaged in a quarrel with the pro-
prietor. Jones stopped to pick up a spit
! toon to throw at Miller. That stoop was
made permanent. He was never able
again to resume an erect posture. Al
undertaken had a great difficulty ir

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE.
1ome BuEzard Ee rs Which Reached
Wrong Destination.


This is a true story of Sheriff
Brookshire of Williamson county, Tex
as, and what came of his efforts to
play a practical joke on his wife. Sher-
If Brookshire is full Of good nature,
and the love of fun is his predominant
characteristic To get the laugh on a
friend is tn him the next best thing to
rounding up a band of horse thieves.
He is owner of a good-sized ranch, and
while working out in a pasture near his
home some time since came across a
buzzard's nest, in which reposed -four
as handsome snow-white eggs as the
eye Of man ever looked uoon. The dis
covery OF these eggs i'm mediately set
him to thinking of a little game that
he would play upon his fsithful spouse
Wrapping them UP with care he bore
them to his house, intending to tell
Mrs. Brookshire that he had been pre-
sented with some uncommonly fne
egs from a fancy breed Of chickens,
and that 1t vas the proper thing to put
them under one Of her setting hens
Immediately. He knew how fond she
was of having choice specimens of the
fsathered tribe, and shook with laugh
ter as he pictured her disgust when
these young buzzards should be
Matched out. Revolving these merry
thoughts, he went into the kitchen to
make the presentation. 1t happened
that his wife was not there, and he
placed them on a table. intending to
call her attention to them later. Just
at thiE time he was called out of his
domicile on very important business,
and the matter was Of consequence
enough to drive all thoughts OF the
| Joke out of his head. He stayed away
q couple Of hours and when he reached
home supper was ready. Being rather
hungry from his tramp In the pasture,
the sheriff sat down to ths table ana
ate with good relish the viands before
him. Suddenly the recollection Of his
ind flashed across his mind. my
