BIASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS

z If ;hyigellowback asks you to point out imperiaffsin, cill his attention to the assertions of the Hannite press of Arizona that We must think and vote as Hanna does in order to be granted our rights as American citizens and be given statehood. Think and vote with the king or you will be ignored. This is imperialism straight.-Cou- rier.
 In the above our contemporary makes a case of imperialism against rhedemocratic party and places that party as the original imperialists. It has always been the policy of the democratic party to admit no territo- ries as states unless they were in political harmony with it. A citizen of the United States need not be very old, either, for his memory to recall the fact that, when democrats were in power only a slave holding territory steod any show of admission.
 It is,a matter of history, and not of any assertion of any Arizona papers that new states have only been ad- mitted by the party in power when such applicants were in political har- mony with it. Our contemporary may have a class of readers whom it can convince that black is white, but by no amount of reiteratiou of niisatate- ments can it change history.

Finally the .p two men got upon their feet, and Degnan, who is the stronger man, forced his adversary to the edge of the scaffold and pushed him over, but by an al most superhuman effort Morgan bent his head forward and grasped Deg mans right ear between his teeth.

COM MITS SUICIDE.
Horace w, Hilton, Recently of Prescott, Ends His Life by Stabbing Him
 self on a Train.

B. Hilton, the bicycle man, on Thursday, received two telegrams an nouncing that his brother, Horace Hilton, had died in Albuquerque, November 21 One of the telegrams was from a member of the Brother
 hood of Locomotive Engineers at Dunsmuir, California, the other was from another brother, who is superin- tendent of a railroad in Mexico. No particulars were given in either tele- gram, each reciting the bare announce ment of his death. '
 The Albuquerque Citizen of Novem- Der 20 gives an extended notice of it, saying that Hilton had stabbed him self eleven times in the region of the heart, while on a Santa Fe Pacific train on Monday, and his death oc
 cured on the morning of the 2lst instant. No cause can be assigned for the rash act, and although con, scious before his death, he refused to give any explanation of the deed.
 Horace Triton was locomotive en- gineer about forty years old. He for merly run on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad between Albuquerque and Winslow, and his last railroading was out of Tucson on the Southern Pa cific. He came to Prescott shortly after the big fire for a visit to his mother and brother, who reside here. He seemed pleased with the town and bought a lot adjoining the Scopel property on the south and put up a brick building on it. He spent most of his time in his brothers sbop next door to the Journal Miner office. since the latter moved in there. He was of very quiet, though affable, nature On Sunday he left Prescott, saying that he was going to Mexico to visit n brother, who is a a railroad superin- tendent there, and the news of his death yesterday was both a surprise and shock to his relatives. a... tf.I
 Hilton had been engaged in conver- sation with the conductor of the train. just previous to the commission of the deed. After leaving the conductor he went to the ladies' toilet, where he was afterwards found unconscious in a pool of his own blood, the blood still pouring from his wounds. ...
 The Citizen states that he had about S200 in his clothes. The B. of l., E. took charge of his remains while the brother from Mexico tele- graphed the brother here that he would reach Albuquerque today to look after the body B. Hilton tele-l grapbed to have the remains em- bal1hed and shipped to Prescott for burial. The only reason he gave for his act was that he was tired of hv- ing. "f ....f .
 Deceased was a man of steady and correct habits, and had saved a con siderable amount of money from his earnings as an engineer. af

BULLION TAX TALK.

The Tucson Star maps out some work for the next legislature in the following item:
 Tt k general Y conceded that the coming legislature will provide for the placing of a reasonable tax on the gross proceeds of the mines of the territory. This seems fair and just and it is understood the mining com panies will not oppose a just and equitable law on this line. This will be of much help in paying the cost of maintaining the territorial admfnis- tration and meeting interest on bonds and other indebtedness which has ac- crued in the business of making pos sible the discovery and development of the mines of Arizona"
 At every session of the legislature for the past twenty years or more this subject has been agitated and a bill has been introduced for the taxing os bullion. The latter has not been done with any apparent show of sincerity. however, but for the purpose of i'm posing tax on mining companies for the benefit of legislators to secure their support for the defeat of the measure. This. bullion tax talk has become legislative chestnut, and an honest and conscientious legislator would almost be afraid to introduce such measure. as it would be -suffi- cient to impugn his motives and sug- gest the question: How much does he want" The Journal-Miner does not pose as prophet, but feels per fectly safe in predicting that no bull lion tax will be passed by the next legislature. .a..a..T ..r......n

Distance Deceived Them.

Two young men stepped off the train the other morning and one of them remarked to the other, ''I wish We had an hour to stop here, would like to run over to that mountain peak" Rev. Henry was standing by and heard the remark and said. You would need more than that time to make the trip" How far is it?n asked the young man, and the preach crtold him it was seven or eight miles tO the base. The astonished young man said that it didn't look to be over a half-mile away. People coming from the smoky, humid atmosphere of the east are much surprised at the clearness with which distant objects can be seen in this delightful climate. ( -COcOninO Sun.

FAILURE TO FIND MITIGATION.

The Tucson Star persists in alleg-
 ing that there were mitigating circun-
 stances in the case of the Haldemans
 and that they should have been the
 subject of executive clemency. The
 circumstances briefly stated are, that
 two officers had warrants of ar
 rest for the young men. They went
 early in the morning to the place where the Haldemans were stopping. met them and told them of the war rants. The latter had not yet eaten their breakfasts, and were told by the officers that they would wait for them to do so. The officers remained on their horses awaiting the appearance of the two men, after they had eaten their breakfast. When the men had eaten their breakfast they came to the door of the house and without warn ing opened fire on the officers shoot ing them todeath without giving them d chance to defend themselves. The two mITderers then mounted horses and attempted to make their escape. seceral days elapsing before they were arrested.
 If any mitigating circumstances can be found in such cold blooded . deed as that. which is of the nature of an Apache Indian, more than of d civilized being, or any feature of it upon which executive clemencv could be based, We fail to discover it. If ever two men deserved their fate if was the Haldeman brothers who shot without warning two officers of the law who had placed the confidence in them as was shown by their permit ting them to eat their breakfast as they did

 The Phenix Republican says that Governor Murphy will leave for Washington in a few days to work for the admission of Arizona to the union. The governor can do more. to make Arizona state than all the demo crats in Arizona combined, and We believe that his visit will result in making this territory4a state. The democratic victory did not in any manner change Governor Murphv's idea of statehood. He truthfHlly says that it would be an easy matter to get admitted had Arizona lined mp polit- ically with the administration. Yet he thinks that men ought not to be barred from the privileges of citizen ship because of their politics and with this broad view Governor Murphy will do his utmost to aid Arizona to secure admission.
