A SMART REPORTER.
The Bishop Did Not Think ST. Peter
Could Keep Him Out.

1.-THE brightest reporter ever knew"
said newspaper man, was Billy Gay
Tor, who died at Hot Springs in 1895.
He was a most persistent fellow after
an item, and that reminds me of a lit
tie story about the last incident OF his
career. He had been assigned by a
certain Chicago daily to interview an
eminent bishop about a schism in the
Church. The bishop didn't want to talk
and wouldn't see him, but Gayor
bribed a servant to let him into the
hall, and he waylaid the dignitary as
he was coming through. He was Or
dered out for his pains. but next day
he penetrated the house again on some
pretext or other, and was again fired.
"He repeated the exploit three or
four times with similar results, and
at last the bishop coming home late,
at night, found Billy sitting in his
study reading the Bible. Nobody could
explain how he got in, but the prelate
wilted and told him what he wanted
TO know, on condition that he would
go away and stay away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor got
galloping consumption and died. and,
happening to meet the bishop at a
church conference, i told him that the
young man who had once so molested
him would never do it again.
d" Let us hope that he is in heaven,
said clergyman standing by.
" No doubt he is ne replied gently.
I don't think they could keep him

The Lessons Taught.

The Kentucky episode contains
serious lessons for the whole country.
Tie very fact that such condition
of things should exist, in any State
in this union, is amazing and alarm
ing. We are not surprised when
we near of such things taking place
in semi-civilized countries, or even
on our extreme frontier, but here in
old Kentucky; one of the richest and
most intelligent of all the states,
that such things should occur, is as
tonishing. 1t only shows to what
an extent partisan politics will 90
IN order to accomplish its purposes.
Kentucky is only an illustration
of what is likely to occur in other
States, at almost any time. Last
year we had the same thing on lit
tie smaller scale. in Virginia, when
the lives of two men were attempted.
In almost every county similar re-
suits have been threatened. All

Legislation for TazeweH

Our representatives in the General

The bill provides for the appointment
of three Road Com missioners in each
Of the three districts Of the county.
who shall have exclusive control of
all the road funds of the county.
Heretofore the Board of Supervisors
have had this responsibility upon
them. This bill relieves these Gen
tlemen. This bill, or another sep
arate bill, takes out of the hands of
the Board Of Supervisors the ap-
pointment of County Surveyor and
Superintendent of the County farm.
This last bill was passed, but we un-
derstand. was vetoed by the govern
or. This action of the Legislature
takes, practically, the office of Su-
pervisor out of politics, as it should
be. The Road Commissioners are
appointed in the bill, and the Coun-
ty Judge is given the power to fill
vacancies.

CREELMAN ON G0EBEL.
Says the Author of the Reiqn
of Terror rs a RaiIrooo

James Creelman writes as follows
In the New York Journals:
The real author OF the reign ofterror
In Kentucky is the Louisville and
Nashville Ra abroad Company. This
giant corporation has controlled the
councils of the Democratic party IN
that State and has dictated the nom.
nation and election of every gov
ernor since the civil war. 1t is the
champion and defender of lawless
corporate power.
Governor Goebel led the fight in
the Kentucky Senate and i'm the law
courts against the criminal and ty-
rannous power of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad and its corporate
allies. At times the Senator had to
night almost single handed. He was
stern, ruthless, unconquerable man
the first To bring the railroad olipar-
chy to its knees. Mr.. Goebers enc
mics may abuse him. but the fact re
mains that during his long service in
the Kentucky Senate no corporation
was able to buy or bully him. lie
was incorruptibility itself in his Off
ciallife.He forced the railroad to nav
ITS share of the taxes, he introduced
and passed laws protecting railroad
employees, and he brought scores of
actions for damages in the courts.

opportunity of studying this remark
able man, the most masterful per.
sonality, perhaps, in the whole South.
1t is true that in the convention
which nominated him for Governor
he resorted to political methods that
'one can hardly condemn too strongly.
but 1t must be remembered that he
was engaged in a life and death
struggle with what had hitherto
been an irresistible force in the
Democratic party. He was fighting
fire with fire.
1t was the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company and its con
Iederates that inspired the spirit of
murder in Kentucky. Again and
again l was told during my trip with
Mr.. Bryan that Mr.. Goebel would
not survive to take his seat. even if
he was elected. The combined cor
porations could not afford to let HIM

EDITOR ERA:-In yOlt issue of Att gust 23rd I noticed d short article in reference to the election of precinct officers, which appears to me to be misleading, and, being candidate myself, feel somewhat interested in the matter. It goes on to quote the statute as follows:
 Section l. Paragraph 457. being Section 4, Chapter 3, Title l3, Revised Statutes of Arizona, is hereby amend ed to read as follows: "The officers of Precincts are, one Justice of the Peace, one Constable, one COronOr, and such other and inferior and sub ordinate officers as are provided for elsewhere in this act, or by the Board of Supervisors, and in each Precinct containing more than eight hundred inhabitants, to be ascertained by the Board of Supervisors, there shall be two Justices of the Peace and two COnstables."
 So far, SO good Then yo~3go on to say: ''By the provisions OF that act Clifton, Morenci, Stafford, Thatcher and Pima precincts are entitled to two justices and two cOnstables by election, and 1T not elected tt is the duty of the Board Of Supervisors to appoint"
 Now that would lead a person to suppose that two justices and two con stables are to be voted for on the same ticket; but if the same rule ob- tains at the coming election that has been in vogue for at least the three last elections, every ticket that has more than one name tor justice OF 0fiee 0ff1e name for constable, will be thrown out and the voter lose his vote, as far as precinct officers are concerned. The rule has been, heretofore, that the justice or constable receiving the highest number of votes was elected; the one getting the next highest num- Der of votes could claim and demand certificate by appointment, as was done by MT. R. B. Jones at the last election in this precinct.
 In view of the way things have been done in the past the only way for a voter to do and be sure of not losing his vote is to vote for but one justice and one constable.
