Admiral SIMPSONS attitude az disgrace
to the service.
Representative S. A. Davenport, of
Pennsylvania, who represents Gunner
Morgan's district, will speak i'll Morgan's
behalf.
Scores of representatives, without re-
gard to party are indignant at Sampson's
slur upon Morgan and the men in the
ranks generally.
The autocratic navigation bureau ring,
which is Admiral Sampson's mainstay,
was badly ratified by what was termed
the "indiscretion and folly" of the ad.
miral. Even in this coterie, the impress
sion was instantly formed on reading
the Journal, that Admiral Sampson's
ambition to become vice admiral had
been killed.
The accusation will be brought against
Morgan that he gave out tho secret af-
fairs of the navy department for publi-
cation.
The strong point in favor OF the war
rant officers who have applied for pro-
motion is that their application has been
indorsed by Secretary Long, Admiral
Dewey and tho general naval board Of
which he is the head.
They are also supported by Senator
Hale, who recently made = spirited
speech in favor of such promotions. The
public and official mind, outside of a
small coterie, has in fact, been 30 inhamed
by Admiral Sampson's indictment Of the
common people that 1t will be impossible
for tho admiral to retrieve himself by
any manner of apology he may make.
1t was pointed out today even by init
mate friends Of the admiral that he him
self was OF humble origin, bis father be-
ing laborer at Palmyra, N. Y. A score
of cases were cited in which some big
names in the army aud navy were OF
humble origin.

CAPITOL HILL THUG.
He is Caught and Identified---The
Police Say He is the Right Man
..-Hc Probably is Demented.

Al Cowan, a ranch hand, probably de-
mented, has been arrested in Denver and
held on suspicion as being the thug who
has been cruelty beating women on Cap
itol hill during the past two months.
He answers in a general way the de-
scription of the Capitol Hill thug.
He proclaims the fact that he hates
women and those he hates most are
members of the Catholic church. He
believes these women have united to per-
secuts him and for this reason he hates
them.
He was arrested at the corner OF Twen-
tisth and Grant avenues in the imme-
diats vicinity OF whore most of the at
tacks occurred. He has a cabin near
that point. When arrested he had in
his possession loaded revolver and a
large bludgeon wrapped in a chamois
skin. He refuee: to talk much and is
very taciturn and vengeful.
1t is tho general opinion of the police
department that they have caught the
guilty party. There is a combined re-
ward from the city and county for the
apprehension Of tho thug of $3.50.

INSULT TO THE PEOPLE.
Admiral Sampson Thinks That
Men in the Ranks are Unfit to
Be Commissioned Officers.

Washington, Feb. 26-The publica-
tion yesterday of Rear Admiral Samp-
sons insult to Gunner Charles Morgan,
to the men behind the guns and the
common people" generally, has created
profound and widespread sensation in
Washington.
The publication alarmed the navy de-
partment and stirred up the horse and
senate. 1t was read with keen interest
at the White House.
Because he cannot tolerate social
equality with an officer from among the
common people," Rear Admiral Samp-
son has vetoed the application of Chas.
for the position OF ensign in the
navy. Following are Sampson's in
respecting the application:
Navy Yard, Boston, Mass, Feb. IA
MIR. Morgan has good professional
ability. He also has, which distinguishes
him from most other warrant officers,
bearing. 1t is earnestly to
be hoped, however, that the secretary Of
take advantage of the authority which 1
understand is to be granted him to ap-
point certain number Of warrant Off
GERS to the grade OF ensigns.
While it is true that these men are ee-
lected from large class Of men OF very
ability. it is also true that they
arc recruited from a class Of men who
have not had the social advantages that
are requisite for commissioned officer.
1t is submitted that in time OF peace
the navy's function consists, to certain
extent, OF representing the country
abroad, and it is important that the
navy's representatives should be men Of
refinement, at least. While there are
perhaps certain few among the warrant
officers who could fulfill this require
ment, am OF the opinion that the vast
majority OF them could not.
Once they are commissioned they will
have the Same social standing az other
officers, and no distinction properly could
F.. made in extending general in invitations.

their acceptance might not rebound to
the credit of the navy or the country
which the navy represents.
1 merely mean to suggest to the de-
partment that, unfortunately for them,
they have been deprived Of certain natu-
raj advantages, and in consequence their
proper place is that Of leading men
among the crew, and not as represent
atives Of the country in the wardroom
and steerage."
These are only few OF the immediate
results OF the story.
Secretary Long has ordered rigid in
vestigation OF how the Journal obtained
the important news.
Senator Penrose, Of Pennsylvania, will
refer the Sampson letter to the senate

ators will sustain him in his effort to
have an inquiry.

ON BUSlNtSS' PRINCIPLES

Clerk instructed to notify the mer- chants of the city of Tombstone that all persons purchasing supplies for the court house, must buy such supplies as needed for the various offices on orders issued by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and duly signed by the said clerk. Merchants selling goods without these orders being pre- sented by persons purchasing, the sald merchants so doing must look to the parties purchasing for their pay. When claims are presented for settlement, all orders issued by the clerk for the purchase of supplies must accompany the claim.
 The above is copy of minute en- try in the books of the Board of Su- pervisors at Tombstone last week. It goes to show that in so far as possible the present Board of Supervisors in tend to conduct the county's affairs on business principles. Indiscriminate buying on the part of county officers ot supplies for the Court House might lead to ,extravagance. With no one to check Cup purchases by the several offices merchants would be apt to give the Court House plenty of everything needed and charge good big price for it. We don't know that such has been the case in the past, still the above order by the Board is getting county affairs on business basis.

THE POLL-TAX LAW.

The following letter from Harrison Coward of Flagstaff, Arizona, was re- ceived at the REVIEW office this week which we reproduce yer batim:
 FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 3l, 1900. EDITOR BISBEE HERALD,
 Risbee, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR,-
 It is understood that the poll tax law will have the attention of the coming session of legislature, especially that portion of the law making the pay ment of poll tax requisite for suff- rage, I am desirous of obtaining as much information on the subject as possible, and would thank you to ad- wise me if you would favor the repeal of the act defining the poll tax requisite for suffrage, or if you would favor the repeal of the entire poll tax law; and also, what in your opprlon, Is the sentiment of the citizens ot your county regarding same.
 Tn all probability the first bill in trcduced in the next legislature will be one repeating that portion of the law maying the payment of a poll tax requisite for suffrage. This law was placed on the statutes with the idea of making everyone pay poll tax. We believe in this the law was a success as the vote throughout the territory was very little less than that Of two years ago. The law was very unpopu- lar, even so with men in the employ of large corporations, where their poll tax had been deducted from their wages for years, while others had been allowed to escape this tax The aver age American citizen does not like any restrictions placed around his bal let and for this reason many who had paid this poll tax refused to register under the new law although they held a poll tax receipt for the year 1900. The poll tax law should by no means be entirely repealed. Our public schools are in a great measure de- pendent upon the poll tax receipts for the maintenance of good school, and this is the only tax that reverts direct to the school fund. The poll tax requisite for suffrage in our opinion should be repeal d, out in its place the poll tax law should be so strengthened and amended that every citizen should pay this tax regardless of occupation or condition.

probably come up before the Board of Supervisors the REVIEW had the Opin- ion of some of the best lawyers in the territory on the question and they were unanimous in the decision that it was clearly the right to give such advertising to weekly newspaper as we'll as daily. Among the opinions we received is one from the Attorney General of this territory Hon. c. F. Ainsworth which we submit below.
 w. B. KELLY, EsQ.,
 Bisbee, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR
 Replying in your favor of the 24th inst, beg to state that I have examin- ed the section to which you call my at tention viz: Act IT of the laws of 1899. It evidently was the intention Of the Legislature by this act to abrogate sec tion of Act 83 of the laws Of 1891, and to substitute this last section in place thereof. The former section did re- quire all publications to be made in daily. I have not had time yet to run through all the other laws to see Ii there were any other acts of the Legls- lature between 1891 and 1899 on this particular point, if there are not then, under this last act. it is clearly the right to give these publications to weekly, as well as daily, papar.
 Respectfully. c. F. AINSWORTH,
 Attorney General. Tn the face of the law and the opin ion of the attorney general tis passing strange that the learned? district at torney should still hold adifferent opln- ion when such an opinioa means the payment of more money for the same work than was bid by weekly news paper. The taxpayers of Cochise coun- ty in consequence of this snap shot opinion will be called on to pay the difference between 20 cents an inch and 40 cents an inch on all county ad- vertising published for the year l9ol' If the attorney does not display better knowledge of law in other matters et- fecting the interests of Cochise county, it is no wonder that our tax rate is at the top notch.
 The district attorney admitted there was no other law touching on this point between 1891 and 1899 but still held that this last section did not abro gate the old one.
 The REVIEW has opened this matter because it is in the right. Because ii is according to law. Because the con tract should have been let to the low est bidder, daily or weekly, and be- cause the best interest of the taxpayers were at stake.
