issues that rather damped the warmth
of feeling that the address of Gov. Muir
ply had brought forth. Mr.. Collins
might be "it" on some eastern plat
form, but in Arizona he can hardly be
expected to make many converts. The
issue in Arizona is purely local and
national issues cut no figure whatever.
If Mckinley is elected a republican
will be the proper thing in congress,
but of this we are far more uncertain
than in October four years ago. If
Oakes Murphy represents Arizona the
territory will have nothing to be
ashamed of. The governor will return
sometime toward the close of the cam
paign and will bring with him some
able speakers.

Republican Rally.

Thursday evening Governor Murphy
addressed the citizens of Kingman on
territorial issues at Lake Hall. The
hall was filled with interested auditors
and the speech was received with lib
eral applause. The governor reviewed
his official acts aud explained away
many of the charges made against him,
notably that of validating the illegal
bond issue Of Yavapai county and
blacklisting mines. On the two prop
ositions the MINER has always upheld
the governor and we yet believe him to
have been thoroughly honorable and
honest in maintaining the credit and
honor of the territory. On the subject
of blacklisting of mines he simply did
his duty. The companies placed on
the list Of his disapprobation were the
worst kind of fakes, gotten up to rob
the guileless eastern investor. His
speech struck responsive chord in
the hearts of his auditors. The next
speaker introduced was j. III. Collins,
the well known Prescott attorney.
Collins launched forth into national

The survey of the Wallapai Indian
reservation as now made, if allowed to
stand, will work great hardship on
many settlers who believed their
ranches we're several miles from the
reservation lines. 1t is hardly possible
that the survey will be accepted, as it
in no way conforms to the lines estab-
lished by Pres. Arthur's proclamation.
The reservation really has no value to
the Indians while to the whites it of.

therefore should be thrown open to

Now is the time for the people of

They are no longer taking it for grant

Roosevelt In 1904.

/ CHICAGO, April 26.-"Theodore Roose-
welt of New York for president in 1904, /"
was the slogan of the Marquette club
banquet tonight. Governor Roosevelt
was there and looked happy at its sug
gestion and its hearty endorsement of
cheers from the 400 hanqueters. Toast
master Frank Lowden told the guest Of
honor that only few years ago the Mar
que,te club had brought out William
Mckinley AS presidential candidate and
when his remarks switched to "Roose
welt" white House" and 1904" the
400 tried hard to make themselves hoarse.
Governor Roosevelt was the first
speaker Of the evening, because he had
to leave early. He pleaded for high ideals
in politics, but said nothing could be ac-
complished unless things are gone at
| practically and determinedly. He
Knocked the "goody -goody man. who
refused to do his political duty because
he was ''jostled by the rude man.
In an interview today Governor Roose-
welt declared that he would rather be
governor OF his state than vice president
OF the United Srates. He said his posi-.
tion in regard to the republican nomina-
tion for this office was absolutely unalter.

his and he did not care TO talk of him

Then and Now.

Now, while the question of employing
attorneys outside of the regularly elected
one for the county has been raised, it is
in order for us to go back and learn
what preceding boards have done along
this line F,r our pains we are rewarded
by finding on page 3I3 of book +, COM
mssioners' proceedings, being the min
utes of a meeting held April I9, 1898.
We find entered and as part of the pro-
ceedings, the following order:
"Iu the matter of the tract Of land in
Whitman county, Washington, hereto
fore conveyed by c. J. Wright and wife
to Nez Perce county, it appearing to the
satisfaction of the board that the inter.
ests of said county require the services of
an attorney to prosecute and look after
the interests of the said land in the courts
of Washington, it is therefore ordered
that Jas. W. Reid, all attorney-at-law, be
and he is hereby retained and employed
10 recover the possession of said land for
said county by proper legal action and he
is hereby allowed the sum of one hun
dred dollars for his services therefor
which is to be i'll full of all services and
costs, unless he prosecute said action to
a successful conclusion for the county Of
Nez Perce, i'll which event, and not 9TH
erwise, he is TO receive the further sum
of one hundred and fifty dollars"
The records do not show that report
of the attorney was ever filed to show
whether the case was ever brought to a
successful conclusion" or not. Why
didn't that board. of which Mr.. Tanna-
hill was clerk, direct the then attorney
for the county to look after this matter!
If it was lawful to employ outside coun-
sci then, it must be now. In view of the
fact that there is nothing of record to
show successful conclusion" Of the
case above mentioned, or otherwise, we
suggest to the present board that 1t re-
ceive their attention. Let the people
know where they are at.

During the examination Of Bartlett
Sinclair before the committee investi-
eating the Ceur d'Alene riots yesterday
the following interesting facts were
brought out:
At one time during the examination
the witness and Attorney Robertson
again nearly came to blows. A matter of
opinion had come up, and Sinclair an
swered sharply.
"Well," said Robertson, "if l were to
express my opinion of you should have
to do it in very indecent language"
Chairman Hull called the disputants
to order, and the matter of the capture of
the safe of the Burke Miners Union was
brought up. In the cross-examination
Attorney Robertson asked if the strong
box had not been opened at the point of
revolver. 81 don't remember" said
Sinclair.
"Did you not arrest Messrs. Boyle and
Simmons, so as to have majority of the
county commissioners in your bullpsn 2"
81 believed they were i'll the conspiracy,
and had them arrested to keep their ac-
tions from having weight with the
miners"
"Where did you get the evidence upon
which you made the arrests1" asked Mr..
Sulzer. prom the attorney. general"
"Was it verbal information ?" at may
have been"
Didn't you arrest the men so as to
control the Office of sheriff" "The office
was filled by man opposing the admins
tration, and we had him changed"
"Did you not close the saloon of a man
called Carter because he went on the
Mr. Robertson. II closed the place while
he was away; yes"
"You did not close places which
favored your side, did you ?" "No; had
no cause to-"
"Why did you close the Wardner ho-
tel ?" ~ thought the proprietor was not
doing the right thing"
"Hou closed up whoever you pleased
and confscated property '' II did"
"If man came to Wardner and op-
posed your methods by speaking about
them you would arrest him without war
rant ?" 81 might"
Objection was offered to several ques-
tions, and Mr., Hay stated that Mr.. Sim
clair was simply dictator, who with the
backing OF martial law had done as he
pleased and had made use of the United
States troops to aid him in so doing.
