Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1901-04-10

 which he has been convicted was the shooting of another Mexican in a sa- loon at Weaver one night. The tra- gedy was an incident ef a drunken quarrel. Garcia said afterward that he had no recollection of the trouble or of any ill feeling toward the man he killed. The petition of the com 1 mutation is signed by many of the most influential citizens of Prescott" If there were any elements in the crime of which Garcia was convicted | which calls for clemency the Journal Miner failed to discover them. Gar cia simply posed as a typical load man" and shot his victims down with out provocation whatever in the most wanton and cowardly manner, after wards making the plea of coward, that he did not remember anything about it. His memory immediately succeeding the act, however, was not so treacherous but it impelled him to try and keepout of the way of the off cers. If ever a man deserved the se- verest penalty of the law, Garcia is one of them. His kind of people are a constant menace to law-abiding citizens.
 Commoner Bryan takes David B. Hill to task for saying "The people want safe and conservative admins trations of affairs. There must be no question of our intention to fear lessly maintain the national credit under any and all circumstances; and we should conciliate rather than antag onize the great business interests of the country" Mir. Bryan's fault-fnd ing of such an expression of opinion indicates that he is radically inclined towards anarchy. Bryan's friends think his criticism untimely and i'm polite, as it is regarded as display of intolerance not calculated to ad- vance the cause which Bryan repre- sents, and likely to be taken as indica tive on Bryan's part to assume the role of dictator and to attack person ally any prospective candidate who entertains opinions different from his own.

 In lengthy defense of H. J. Allen the Phenix Enterprise says that gen tleman worked to secure the defeat of the mine inspection bill. Mir. Allen is certainly the most abused and most misrepresented man that ever had anything to do with legislature, as he was quoted during the session as bending every energy to secure th passage of that bill. The Enterprise evidently must have been in MT. Aliens confidence as it says very em- phatically, That NIT. Allen did not spend a dollar during the last session of the legislature to buy legislative votes on any proposition, and con trary statement is a gross calumny and libel"
 THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
