THE TRIBUNE endorses every word of the following from the Phoenix Enter prise:
 Two bills before the legislature. both for the increase of salaries, should be killed by the shortest possible route consistent with courtesy. One is for the payment of judges. the other to increase the salary of district attorney in first class counties. The feder- al judges arepaid ssOOO a year. The amount is ample. as most of them are now drawing bigger salaries than they ever made practic- ing law. The district attorneys are also amply paid for all services rendered or demanded. Not only should the judges not be paid extra, but the old anticipated statute under which the judges have been drawing $500 year each. should be repealed. Keep down expenses and protect the farmer and merchant, who at present pay the most of the taxes,

PRosPEcTORs, the true pethfnders who made it possible for Arizona to be the rich and prosperous territory it is to-day, will remember the lawmakers of the 20th legislature who voted to more than double the price of assay ing at the Territorial University. The price fixed by the old law is exactly the same as that charged by reliable assayers in Colorado, and the result will be that the money will go out of the territory if Doan's amendment becomes the law instead of helping to educate the young men of Arizona. The editor of the TRIBUNE introduced the original bill, which became law and gave satisfaction to nine-tenths of the men engaged in mining and pros- pecting. It is now only opposed by the assayers who charge exorbitant prices for their work and who have succeeded in getting petitions signed by men who have very slight interest in the matter.

An Era of Jobs.
From the Rocky Mountain News.l

(Rrom the Rocky Mountain Eews.l
 As punishment for his sins Com misssry General Eagan will be given a vacation of six years, during which his pay of s5 300 year will go on. At the same time the war inquiry board will report a whitewash for Alger and his war department. The fifty or more officers, headed by General Miles and Governor Roosevelt, who declared that meat furnished the troops was vile and unsafe, will probably be rebuked as they assailed the product of Chicago's sacred beef trust.
 Alger will now be left free to pros- ecnte his thriving syndicate jobbing business in Cuba and Porto Rico.
 Back of the war department, back of the whitewashing board, back of unlimited power of Cuban franchise granting conferred on Alger, stands President Mckinley.
 Before the end of the administration it will be covered with the disgrace of having permitted more steals and more jobbery than any that went before it. The meu who nominated Mckinley at St. Louis knew what they were about.
 The president, in whose power it is to prevent the steals and the jobbing, cannot stand in the background and expect the responsibility and odium to fall only on his appointees. He must bear his share of it, and his share is large one.

Wm. R. Waddill, the newly elected supervisor, received an annual pass over the Arizona & New Mexico rail- road few days since. In acknowledg- ing the receipt of the same, MT. Waddill returned the passes, stating that as he had been elected to fill an important position for the whole people of the county, he could not conscientiously accept pass from the railroad, as he had done nothing to earn such a favor, and as the county will pay him for all service performed, he did not see how he would be able to return the compliment.-[Graham Guardian.

There is no better medicine for thu babies than Chamberlaine's Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the. attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefes the tough mucous, making it easier to expec- torate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of cough ing, thus depriving that disease of al dangerous consequences.

IF some enterprising man in Phoe- nix would start restaurant and call of his bill of fare instead of printing it he would capture the legislative trade they are so bitterly opposed to print ing, and besides it is said that more than one-half of them can't read and write. A joint resolution declaring that they can is now in order; but if it were adopted unanimously it wouldn't make 1t so.

THE people of Arizona are far more interested in having the resources of the territory developed than they are in fixing up fat jobs for assayers or anybody else. Under the law of the 18th Legislature to encourage pros pecting, whereby a prospector could have his ore assayed for gold and silver at the Territorial University for 50 cents (exactly the price charged by reliable assayers in Colorado) a num- Der of mines have been opened up which would probably have lain dormant had the assaying cost as much as $2.5o, as is now proposed by the Doan amendment to the Reppy law.

SUICIDE OR KILLED
John Grayson, the Murderer, Found Dead
 with a Bullet In His Head.
From the Bisbee Orhl


 The Orb readers will remember read ing of shooting affair that took place at the American custom house abont six weeks ago in which one John Touton was shot and killed by John Grayson, the affair taking place on the Mexican side of the line. After the shooting Grayson rode rapidly to this side of the line, being pursued by some of the Mexican guards and the cowboys. He rode rapidly to the fence of Brow,s pasture, where he had to aban don his horse, as he had not time to cut the wire fence. His horse and saddle were recovered; he was seen to start of on foot from the fence, but until yesterday forenoon no one had seen or heard of him, when his decayed body, with bullet hole through the ton of his head, was found by Wm. Brow. The deceased was lying about one hundred and fifty yards from where he left his horse; his six shooter, with the cartridges all fired, lay about a foot from his left hand. His hat, whict was near by, was badly powder burned showing that the fatal shot had beer fired at close range.
 There are two theories as to thu cause of his death; one that seeing escape was impossible he placed tbt gun against his head and fired rathe than fall into the hands of the Mex can guards, and the other is, that h was captured by the guards and WE, being taken across the line, and, resist ing, was shot by them. Which is tn, more probable, we leave for our reader 1 to judge.

Bowie County, Nit.
From the Graham Guardian l

From the Graham Guardian.l
 As was expected the Bowie county bill has been introduced in the legIsla- ture by Dr. Wright. of Pinal, making the county seat at Wilcox. This sim ply takes the place of the Chiricahua county of two years ago.
 Bowie county will certainly die in the embryo, as it should. The great majority of people of both Graham and Cochise counties do not want the di- vision and as they are the interested parties, the legislature will simply be carrying out the wishes of the people they represent by killing this measure as quickly as possible.
 The members from Graham and Cochise counties can be relied on to fight Bowie county to finish, for they were elected on platform declaring against county division.
 This agitation of making more eouh- ties should be stopped by passing bill submitting the proposition of making new counties to the voters.
 The people of Graham and Cochiss counties do not want a new county. The agitation is simply kept alive by I lot of politicians who as hungering for office.

A man living at Columbus, Ga, has been trying to solve the when-does. the-century-begin puzzle. He writes to the New York Herald that, "be- ginning with one, ten makes the cycle of ten, ten cycles make one century. The end of the eighteenth century is December S1, 1900. The nineteenth century begins January 1, 1901. :" Many bizarre ideas have been advanced in the difficult discussion of this simple matter, but until now nobody has declared that we must begin the nineteenth century all over again.

Brought Back 100 Pounds of Gold With
Him-One-third of the Findings

Louis J.. DeMeules, brother of A. J
DeMeules, the deceased New Mexico
turquois king, tells a remarkable story
of how good luck followed his brother
Amos, even after death.
Recently a letter, written in March
was found at the turquois camp ir
! Otero county, from a mar who had just
returned from the Klondike with 15(
pounds of nuggets and dust. Stone had
been grub-staked by DeMeules and sem
to the Klondike, and was to give the
turquois king o%ne-third of the value OF
his discoveries.
Louis DeMeules says the heirs will
take immediate steps to- recover the
money. The gold is worth $25, 200, and
one-third Of 1t, or $S,400, is due the heirs
They will organize a company and work
the property. Claims against the es-
tate are coming in all the time. Among
others Ex-Governor Thornton has put
in a claim for $25, 900, which will be con-
tested.
