LAWYERS WHILE YOU WAIT.

One of the most baFe-faced pieces OF
effrontery we have observed in the con-
duct of the First Circuit Court was the
islators to the profession of the law
These hackmen, boat boys, dock Ia
borers, poi-pounders, fishermen and
mill hands have been able to saunter
into Humphreys court at two p. M.
get instructions to report again at four
o'clock, and at that hour receive their
licenses to practice, the whole job, tex
animation and issuance of papers, not
taking ten minutes.
OF course the new lawyers, or nine
out of ten of them, know no more law
than Necessity. They could not tel
the difference between a civil action and
a criminal process; between judgment
and an attachment; between a crime
and a misdemeanor. Nor could they
Judging from their speeches in the
Legislature, make a coherent argument
on any subject, even one in which they
had a contingent fee. Yet they are
lawyers by the grace of the Arizona
judge, duly authorized to solicit clients
Think of the unhappy fate of the poor
devil who gives his case into such
hands and stakes his liberty and his
fortune upon the RESULT
But why was the judicial offence com
mitted? What, if any, was the consid-
GRAFTON. in bills passed or policies en-.
forced that led the scheming faker or
the Circuit bench to so degrade the pro-
fession of the law and the honor of his
court?

The Advertiser has upheld the Dole
administration because it believed it to
be clean, honest public-spirited and
devoid of self-seeking. 1t has opposed
the enemies within the party because
their low-down and dirty methods Of
attacks upon a man whose boots they
were not fit to clean, and because from
personal knowledge it believed them to

THE VACANT APPOINTMENTS.

1t is understood that Republicans of
the House and Senate, many Of WHOM,
signed the Endorsement of George A.
Davis for judge some weeks ago. have
submitted to the Governor a list of
names of men whom they would like to
put In the places of those whom the
Senate has causelessly rejected.
If it is the purpose of the Governor
which we cannot believe-to submit to
the dictation of the Home Rule Senate.
and DO nothing to restore Messrs. Lam
sing, McCandless and Brown and the
members of the Board of Health to
their posts, then we shall venture no
forecast of his action upon the new
names. But we beg the Governor to re-
member that the choice of any man for
the head of a Territorial department,
who played the Sewall game at the pri-
maries and in the convention last spring
and summer, means that he viii yet be
stabbed in the house of his friends,
and that his friends viii be stabbed in
his house. One might as well have a
machine Governor outright as to have
the chief offices, put at his disposal,
given into machine hands. either as a
sop or as an oversight.

attempt in this community.

A ROTTEN NEWSPAPER.

The proprietors of the Bulletin have
sold out its editorial columns to the
Home Rule leaders and their legal and
political adviser, A. S. Humphreys, in
exchange for Legislative pap and other
provender In consideration thereof
although still impudently claiming to
be Republican paper, the Bulletin con-
tains only abuse of the local Repuhli-
can authorities, support of every vi
-cious Home-Rule measure and adula-
ton for its judicial patron saint The
paper can conceive of no such thing as
journalistic support independent OF a
money consideration. The fact that the
Advertiser is consistent advocate of
the local Republican party and its prin-
cfples can be accounted for by the Bui-
letin on one hypothesis only, viz: that
it is being paid therefor. The Bulletin
has no principles that are not for sale,
and it judges others by itself
To cover up it's own degradation in
giving a thick and thin support to a
corrupt and incompetent party, hostile
to its own professed party affiliations,
it has adopted the usual method of the
footpad in raising the cry of stop thisf''
to distract attention from itself. Herce
it impudently charges that the Adver-
Users support of the present Republi-
can Territorial administration is in re-
turn for official patronage.
AS matter of fact, in spite of its
foul mouthed and lying abuse of the
administration, the Bulletin has cont'n-
uously received the bulk of the official

WHAT MIGHT BE.

An honest Grand Jury could get at
all the scandal it needs in its business
for one day by following these leads:
& First. The Prendergast and Mossnlan
lead. Ask where those two legislators
got the money to pay for the daily
lunches of the Tramway gang, and
what the disbursing principal expected
in return for that outlay?
Second. Summon the business man
ayers of all the printing establishments
in town, particularly the one owned or
controlled by Humphreys, and get the
names of the legislators who dema nded
and in some cases obtained a private
rebate of ten per cent upon public print
ing given out. The business manager
of the Gazette Company, for one would
make good witness as to a man
who proposed such a corrupt deal and
was turned down.
Third. Summon the men who had a
special interest in getting Mortimer 1.
Stevens, the prosecuting witness in the
Gill case, out of the country One week
before Stevens left Hawaii as stow
away, he had no money of his own. He
was seen in close consultation with EN-
ployes of Judge Humphreys; then he
turned up with a large sum, out of
which he paid certain bills. To the
probable great relief of the First Judge
of the Circuit Court he soon after dis
appeared. Let the Grand Jury, if it
wants surfeit of scandals, find out
whose money fixed" Stevens, so that
the man who tried to kill him-Judge
Humphreys editor-might go free with
the charge against him noIle pressed.
An honest Grand Jury would probe
all these scandals with the intent of
doing its duty by the culprits. But any
Grand Jury picked out by a Hum
phreys' 'bailiff would rather be shot.

matter of Hawaiian land will receive
the attention of Congress very soon.
u. F. Brown Commissioner of Public
Lands, has been instructed by letter
from Mr.. Dole to remain in Washington
to represent Hawaiian interests in case
of any important action. He was ad-
vised to press the amendment to the
section of the Organic Act which linn

SPRING TOP DRESSING.

The question often arises on the part
of farmers as to the best fertilizer to use
as spring top dressing for their garden
and grass lands. If the crop has already
been planted, the best fertilizer to use
for the purpose is nitrate of soda, which
ingredient is so soluble and quick acting
that the effects can be seen within TWEEN
| ty-four hours. For lettuce, peas, beans,
beets or other vegetables, the best way
to use the nitrate would be to take it at
the rate of 200 pounds per acre and
divide it into three parts. Apply one
third after growth begins, the second
| third two or three weeks later, and the
remaining portion from ten to fourteen
days afterward.
If it is intended to treat lawn, nitrate
of soda is the best thing that can be
used. From $50 to 200 pounds per acre
twill suffice. The first application should
be made as top dressing, just after
spring growth starts. A more uniform
distribution of the nitrate can be had if
this material be mixed with several
times its bulk of dry earth. The other
two portions can be applied at intervals
of three weeks each. The best results
will be obtained if the nitrate is applied
Just before rain.
In speaking of the application of
nitrate of soda as spring fertilizer, it
must not be overlooked that nitrate
alone is not complete fertilizer, and If
the soil has not already been supplied
with potash and phosphoric acid, the
ultimate results of the nitrate will not
be satisfactory. Every crop that grows,
no matter whether it is grass, grain,
fruit or vegetables, must have potash
and phosphoric acid as well as nitrogen.
All three of these ingredients are neces-
sary.--Mirror and Farmer.

The Revelation of 1s4s.

In March, 1S4S, had to 60 over to
Paris to finish up some work there and
Just came In for the revolution. From
my windows I had fine view Of all
that was going on. / we'll remember
the pandemonium in the streets, the
aspect Of the savage mob, the wanton
firing Of shots at quiet spectators, the
hoisting of Louis Philippe's nankeen
trousers on the Flagstaff Of the Tuile'
ries. When the bullets began to come
through my windows, thought 1t time
to be off while it was still possible.
Then came the question how to get my
box full Of precious manuscripts, etc.,
belonging to the East India company,
to the train.-
The only railroad open was the line
to Havre, which had been broken up
close to the station, but farther on was
intact. In order to get there we had
to climb three barricades. 1 offered
my concierge francs to carry my box,
but his wife would not hear Of his
risking his life in the streets. Ten
francs; the same result. But at the

Montesuma's Well.

One of the most pleasing natural
curiOsities in the territory Of Arizona
is the pool of water known as Monte
zuma's we'll. 1t is situated 10 miles
northeast Of the old abandoned mill
tary post known as Camp Verde. 1t Is
25O feet in diameter, and the clear,
pure water is about 60 feet below the
surface Of the surrounding country.
Some years ago certain military off,
GERS sounded the pool and found that
It had uniform depth Of 80 feet Of
water except In one place, apparently
about six feet square, where the sound
Ing line went down about 600 feet
without touching bottom.
The well empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant, the wa
ter gushing forth from the rocks as
though it were under great pressure.
The well is undoubtedly supplied from
subterranean sources, possibly through
the hole sounded by the army officers
years ago. The sides Of the well are
honeycombed with caves and tunnels,
permitting sightseers to descend to the
waters edge.
Montezuma's well contains no fish.
The flow of water from 1t Is the same
throughout the season. Popular opin-
ion has attributed the origin Of the
well to volcanic action, but as the rock
surrounding 1t Is limestone 1t Is more
than probable that the action OF the
water Is responsible for its CREATION
