is against us a community. Neithe am l opposing it on political grounds for in that respect what we alread, have is enough. No county or people was ever worse taxed and legally pil- fered than old Yavapai. A county il wealth sufficient if equally assessed and honestly and economically gov erneS that ought to get sheriff fol S5O0O per annum instead of S20,OOO and all other officers in proportion Instead of the present legislature making new counties and increasing the burden of taxation if they would go at it with a broad axe and cut every officials salary and fee in Ari- zona in halves, and in some instances in quarters we would have just as good officers and be just as well pro- tected and governed as we now are Jerome boasts of its immense license and taxes. Pass a law that intoxica- ting liquors and gambling places should only exist upon the petition of the majority of the taxpayers, and few such places would exist and then the pit falls and dead falls would cease and such business would be carried on by honorable men. I am not opposed to the saloon. 1 con sider them a necessary evil in these western countries and in earl days men would keep saloon and run a station jointly, and in nearly every instance saved the life of many a man and beast and such institutions served their purposes in helping to blaze the pathway to civilization. I used to keep station myself and have my first man to turn away from my door hungry and I know such to be the case with ninety nine out of every hundred station keepers, but such in have served their purpose and must give way to the school house and church. I have been trying to swap over "lo, these many years" but like the broncho, when allowed to run at large awhile, they go back to the broncho and buck and kick out of the traces, and when 1 meet my old Hassayampa associates I some times slop over. 1 see that Reporter sleuth hound has found out who G.. w.

OREGON SENATORIAL FIGHT.

As a rule Arizona, and Arizonans
 are not specially interested in the sen
 atorial fights which come up in the
 various states, but it so happens oc-
 casionally that they are deeply inter
 ested almost as though the election
 was for senator from the territory
 itself. In our present condition of
 territorial dependency, when the only
 representation that is accorded us is delegate, whose position outside of drawing his salary, is that of lob
 byist, having no vote, the territory has to depend largely on the friendship and interest of congressman and sen ators, who have both voices and votes for securing any needed legislation.
 For this reason the election of senator from Oregon has a special in terest to our people. There are number of candidates, all probably worthy men, but one of whom is spe- cially well known to the people of Arizona, and who is known as their friend, that gentleman is Hon. Binger Hermann. His experience in the lower house of congress makes him specially well fitted by experience for the position, and no representative ever sent from that state did more for it than he. He was a tireless worker, and that means that he was success ful in what he undertook. No repre- sentative of any state was more de- voted to the interests of his constitu- ents than he was during his service in congress, and if good persistent, and successful work in a representa- tive was properly appreciated and re- warded, MT. Hermann should have no opposition for this position. It is not, however, of this that the people of Arizona, and for that matter of the entire southwest are interested in the election of MT. Hermann, but on ac- count of his past friendship for the section named. He has visited Ari- i zona on several occasions and is thor | oughly familiar with the condition of l the territory and its needs. He is also a thoroughly western man, and | in sympathy with the needs of the west in general. So far as Ari- zona is concerned, with Mir. Hermann in the senate, the territory would have a friend on which it could rely to advocate any reasonable measure for the promotion of its interests. Mir. Hermann is also a pronounced advocate of statehood for the territory and his vote, if elected, would be recorded in favor of our admission.
 For these reasons the contest in Oregon which is now on is watched with unusual interest by our people.

Where Is Lemon, the JeweIer7

Lemon, the jeweler. left about ter days ago, ostensibly on jewelry sell ing trip, announcing before he left that he intended visiting Jerome Williams, Flagstaff and other places in order to reduce his stock of jewelry before moving out of his shack on the plaza into the fine big room in Hotel Burke. He had the entrance to the latter place placarded with great big cloth sign announcing his intended occupancy of it very soon. In order to make it appear that his proposed stock selling tour was genuine, he had lot of posters printed for use in each of the towns he proposed visiting. While making these active prepara- tiOns for prosperous and successful jewelry selling trip he was also nego- tiating loans on the side, with more or less success.
 Prior to his departure dame rumor also coupled his name with woman scrape, but no suspicion seems to have been aroused until several days after his departure, when customers who Haul lClb NdluctDlC Wllu HlLu bO be repaired, as well as creditors, began to have their suspicious aroused that he had gone to join Sam Pedgrift or Van Alstine, or some of the others who have recently decamped from the place.
 Young Mir. Emanuel, who had been working for him was left in charge of the odds and left in the store, and at the same time was left with about two months salary due him.
 The impression is rapidly gaining ground among those interested, that his departure is final and that he does not intend to return, unless by invi- tation from the sheriff, while the more charitably inclined persons think that he went to attend the funeral of Queen Victoria, and that as soon as he gets through hobnobbing with royalty he will return with a man. moth stock of jewelry for that Hotel Burke store. By the way, that big cloth sign, which formerly adorned the front of that store, has been taken down. Others still think that he has gone to South Africa to assist Kitch ener in capturing Dewet, as he was great Boer fighter in Prescott. An attachment has been placed on the goods left in his store.

As to Prescott raising S2O,OOO or any other sum to fight county division, no one knows better than the Reporter man that there is not a word of truth in such an intimation and that no such intimation of this kind has ever been made until published in the above paper,

Printing Office Secrets.

A properly conducted printing office is as much a secret as a Masonic lodge. The printers are not under oath of secrecy, but always feel them selves as truly in honor bound to keer the office secrets as though triple oathed. An employe in printing office who willingly disregards this fact would not only be scorned by his brethren of the craft, but would lose his position at once. We make this statement because it sometimes hap pens a communication appears in a newspaper under all assumed sigma ture which excites comment, and va rious parties try to find out who is the author. Let all be saved the trouble of questioning the employees of the printing office. They are knOw-noth- ings on such points as these. On such matters they have eyes and ears, no mouth, and if they fail to observe this rule, let them be put down as dishOn orable members of the craft. If any thing is to be printed and kept secret, let proper notice be given of the de sires of secrecy, and you might as well question a sphynx as one of the printers, so that even the secret books of lodges, wedding invitations, etc, are printed without fear.-Ex.

An American drummer, fresh from

ped in on NJ. de Witte, the Russian
minister of finance, one morning to get
certain information necessary for the
sale of his goods. The minister refused
it. The young man persisted. The
minister still refused, Then the young
man made the eagle scream. You're
the only man who can give me what

The minister pressed an electric but

lister spoke to them in Russian, and di-
rectly the drummer found himself
walking down the Ncvsky Prospect
with an uncongenial escort. AS he
thought the matter over in Jail he CON
cluded that his hand was not strong
enough, as he put it. to bluff the whole
Russian empire.
Within an hour he was led back into
the presence of De Witte, who told
him that a decent apology would save
further trouble. After the drummer
made it De Witte gave him the in

was not wise to be rude to ministers

The reports that Yale university ath-
letic officials are considering the ques-
ton of resuming athletic relations with
the University of Pennsylvania is pro-
nounced untrue by leading Yale men.
The opinion is that Yale might in an
other year come to some agreement
with Pennsylvania, because the latter
institution had eligibility rules as strin-
gent as any college in the country. In
discussing the agreement made be-
tween Harvard and Yale for another
year at football Manager Francis of
the Yale Football association said that
the agreement was for two years tax
