Mohave County miner., 1900-08-18

What has caused the change of heart
of the Mineral Wealth toward Tom
Farish9 A few years ago the same
paper was anathemizing him as a rank
gold bug and nothing was too bad for
it to say about the democratic chair
man. Now Parish is the fair-haired
boy and nothing in the way of
eulogium is too good for him. The
matter of Parish and Wilson shows the
depth of the silver sentiment in our
neighbor when 1t comes to the matter
of dollars and cents. 1t knows, as
does all democrats that Wilson is a
rank gold bug and is making a pre-
tence of friendship for silver because
his object could not be compassed by
truthful expression of opinion.
Four years ago, while Wilson was a
federal appointee under the Cleveland
dynasty, he aud Charles Shannon for
mulated a resolution that reeked of
snobbish idolatry of Grover Cleveland
and his great ana glorious admins
tration, and this when every democrat
in Arizona was up in arms against the
Fat Prophet. This resolution was to
be introduced at the democratic terri
torial convention that met in the
mountain city of Williams. The good,
cool Judgment of the friends of Mark
prevailed and the resolution was
smothered. But it showed the gold
instinct of the men, Wilson and Shan
non. 1t makes not the slightest diff
erence to Us to whom the Wilson man
tie may fall to but we would like to
see thoroughly honest silver man in
the place.

The Halderman brothers, who have
had sentence of death hanging over
them in the Cochise county Jail, for
the killing of Teddy More, have been
granted respite of six weeks to allow
a review of the new evidence said to
have been discovered. The younger of
the brothers wrote a most piteous
appeal for executive clemency, claim
ing that he had never committed a
crime in his life, and especially the
crime of murder. The reprieve meets
with the approval of those who are
acquainted with the facts in the case
It is hard thing to have to pass the
death sentence on fellow being, but
the law should not allow maudlin sym.
pathy to thwart justice. He who viii.
fully takes the life of fellow being
should be punished.

c. p. Huntington, the great railroad
magnate is dead. To many of the
people of California his death will come
as relief, but to the world of finance
his taking off will long be regarded as
a calamity. While there was much
about the character Of Mr.. Huntington
that met with public detestation, yet
there was much to admire. He had
that indomitable will that allowed no
obstacle to remain in his pathway to
success. The overcoming of all the
distractions to the building of the
first great tranS-continental railway
will always remain one OF Mr.. Hunt
ington's most notable achievements
and to this road is due the present
prosperity Of the state of California
While many will execrate the world al
large will honor his memory. He was
in many ways a great man and his
work will endure for all time.

The slot machines are getting in
their work on the niDgman Youth.
The owners of slot machines are prob
ably not aware that it is against the
law to allow minors to play at the
game. Arizona has very expressive
statute against minors entering or
playing at games of chance no matter
of what nature. Anyway the minor
ought to be barred from the saloons
and the officers ought to enforce the
law. An officer failing to perform his
duty in this regard can be proceeded
