FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER % 1893
THE INSTITUTE AT CLIFTON.
For. 16 to 4.


was unanimously decided 70 hole
the next one at Clifton, and at
meeting of the teachers, called BY
Supt. Moody and held in the Aca
DENY at Thatcher last Friday, thu
dates on which the institute will
be held were fixed for Nov. 18th
10Th and 18th.
Clifton is an ideal place for thu
holding of a teachers institute ant
it is simply fair TO hold it there
In Shat end of the county there
are eight schools taught and moth
ing Of the kind was ever hello
there before. Many Of the teachers
of the county have never seen
natures wonderful work at Clifton
and a trip there would undoubted'
Iy broaden their views as to our
own county at least. Aside from
viewing some of the masterpieces
of natures handiw ork the teachers
will come into social intercourse
at Clifton with o community OF
people whose generosity and
hole.heartedness is not excelled
They will exert themselves to the
utmost TO make the teachers visit
among them pleasant and profitable
and we venture the prediction that
the institute to be held at that
place will be recorded as one OF
the most successful and enthuslas'
tic ever held in Graham county.
Supt. Colquhoun has signified a
willingness to give greatly reduc-
ed rates over the railroad and he
and his associates will do all in
their power to make the visit in
terestlng for the teachers.
Ii should be our study to become
personally acquainted with all the
people of the county. Without
this we cannot understand nor APP
preciate each other. With it we
become as one great family, one
working to assist the other. No
means can be devised for bringing
the people of the county into closer
and more friendly relations than
the holding of a teachers institute
at Clifton. Besides all this, it is
just as much the duty of a teacher
to attend institutes as it is to at
tend school and give the regular
lessons. The expense of reaching
Clifton will be small. The stage
company have made very low
rates TO the railroad, which will be
found in another column and the
fare over the railroad will be
small trifle.
We hope to see every teacher in
Graham county attend the institute
in Clifton, and as many of the
parents and trustees as can pos
sibly attend.

CowARDrcE ADDED TO CRIME,

with crime, says the Philadelphia
Tines, and it will command no re-

of any other country.
If Captain Dreyfas was guilty at
all he was guilty of treason, and
the crime if committed by him
must have been most deliberate
act. Neither his circumstances nor
bis environment offer any excuse
that could be pleaded in extenua-
tion of his offense if he is guilty at
all; and if guilty he should be pun

not be chained IN dungeon and

pal or assistant in any degree in
such a crime, the guilt would be
the same. When deliberately
formed reasonable purpose gives
any aid whatever to reasonable
effort all are guilty as principals
alike in law and morals.
The cowardly action of the
Court seeking to break the force
of its fiendish judgment against
Dreyfus by recommending that
the full punishment of the law
shall not be meted out to him, will
certainly increase the general con-
tempt that is felt for the Judges
who convicted the prisoner. 1t in
no way lessons the Judicial crime
that stands out as one of the great.

The pretext that there are miti-

Count to offer the apology of
cowardio for its crime, was we'll
known by the Judges to be an in
vention to temper IN some degree
the next to universal judgment Of

of the French government. 1t has
only plunged the Court another
degree deeper in the mire with
which the sanctuary of justice has

The ella valley Telephone Line.

An enterprise which has prov
ed very great advantage in fac.
lilltating business IN the neighbor-
ing county of Graham--in fact, so
much so that it has become almost
indispensable---is the Gila valley
telephone line. The idea of es-
tablishing telephone communica-
tion between the several towns of
the valley originated with DR.. J..
ii. Lacy, who found considerable
difficulty in interesting capital IN
the enterprise, and to convince the
business men of the valley of the
benefits that would insure to them
from the use of the line. Now,
however, after q few months
operation no argument is needed
to prove its utility, and the line
now connects all the towns in the
Gila valley, from Solomonville to
Matthewsville, together with the
mining camps at Clifton and
Morenci, the total length of the
main line being about seventy
miles.
The company wisely placed the
rates of service at low figure, in
order to induce general use of the
line, and now has eighty phones
rented, and the only trouble ex-
perianced is to furnish instruments
as rapidly as they are called for.
Within year or two the company
expects to have every precinct in
the county connected with the
county seat.
The stockholders and officers of
the company Are: DR.. J. II. Lacy,
president; E. T. Iams, treasurer;
Charles F Solomon, secretary.
