The Rutland News intimates that
Fletcher Proctor is being doomed for
the Governship by those who have
done so without consulting him +"
and therefore Mr.. Proctor should not
4'be held responsible for the action"
We wonder if the News really means
this, or is it simply putting up a
bluff. Fletcher Proctor knows all
about this Governorship movement
is in consultation with his friends
and has his hand on the public pulse

The United Opinion at Bradford
reached it's "Twentieth Milestone -"
last week. Previous to 1881 Brad
ford was afflicted with two news
papers. 1t was uphill work for two
to try to exist where one only could
flourish. After time, better judg-
ment prevailed and the two papers
were consolidated. Since that time
H. E. Parker has given Bradford a
frst-class local paper, improving it
each year until it is now a model
paper in all respects. We congratu-
late Brer. Parker on his success anc
wish him many more years of con
tinued prosperity.

THE INAUGURATION.

| Monday last the nations capital was the scene of brilliant military and civil display which, according to press dispatches, far exceeded any inaugural display in the history of the nation. The event was the inauguration of William Mckinley as President of the United States, and Theodore Roosevelt as Vice President, to serve for the suc- ceeding four years. The preceding four years has been an era of prosper ity unequaled in this country before. The Spanish-American war, which marked the introduction of the pres ent foreign policy of the government, was the cause of this marked activity in all channels. Especially did the manufacturing cities and transporta- tion companies reap the benefits. The President again takes his seat with conditions in the Philippines un- changed. Recruits are being enlisted for service in those islands and the end Is not yet. Unless order and good gov ernment has been established before the Presidents term expires, and the era of prosperity has diminished, we may expect a dhange of sentiment at the next election. Prosperity was the platform upon which Mckinley and Roosevelt were elected, Without this argument their campaign speakers would have found it difficult to defend the administration in its policy toward the Filipinos and the present refusal of liberty to the Cubans. McKinley's present term promises to make history for this nation. Will it be history we shall be proud of in the future remains, to be seen.

AN UNPOPULAR LAW.

One of the most unpopular bills in- troduced in the present legislature is one making debts contracted by parties working mine under a bond d lien against the property, and providing for the sale of the mine to satisfy the lien. It is true that Arizona has had her share of mining sharks who have de- frauded business men, adjacent to the scene of their operations, out of mer- chandise, tools and supplies of all kinds, and in some instances the employees have never had payday, but these cases have been very rare, as the vest ern laborer has convincing way of en- fore ng his demand for payment of ser vices honestly performed and past due, which is peculiarly his own. Cons rv- ative business men have long since dis continued the practice of selling every mining company that commences oper- ations without previous thorough in- vestigation. The men that would be injured by the passage Of such la V would be the small mine owner, who is unable himself to develop his claims and must depend on outside capital to demonstrate the value of his property. He would not dare bond his claim if the proposed bill became law for fear the operator would permit deots to ac- cumulate, allow the property to be sold to satisfy the lien, and then have his friends purchase the property, and by this means secure a valuable property for nominal figure. But where would the old prospector and miner come in? His years of toll and hardship would have gone for naught through the en- actment of an unwise law which would benefit no one.

THE Prospector seems to think it is the main stay of the Board of Super visors and rushes into print on We'd nesday in their defense before any one was hurt. The article last week stat ing the condition of the Mexican left in the stable was plain statement of facts, which can be verified by the Prospector if that paper wishes. There was nothing in the article that could be called an attack on the board; and moreover, since the publication one member of the board said the REVIEW did the right thing by bringing the matter before the public. This was not case of an indigent being admit ted to the county hospital. It was a case of shelter and food at the imme- diate time. The officer refused to. fur nish it on the ground that the county had refused to pay for similar bill in December. In another column will be found a statement by MT. Reay which clears up the matter and states the po- sition of the board. If the REVIEW ever criticises the official acts of the Board of Supervisors we shall expect the Prospector to rush into double leaded matter in their defense. That sheet now holds an illegal contract from this county, awarded by the pres ent board, which means several dollars in the pocket of the Prospector man.

lT now looks very much like the many county division propositions which threatened the taxpayers of sev- eral Arizona counties, in the early days of the legislative session, would come to naught and all the counties remain as they are for two years more. This is as it should be, as all the counties are now heavily burdened with taxa tion, and division of any of them would necessarily increase the expense of government. The people of Clifton, who very much desired to divide Ora ham county, abandoned the proposition last week without even introducing the measure. on which considerable time and expense had been expended. The Clark county measure is still threat ened, but it is doubtful if that bill will be passed. The proposed division of Cochise county is dead for the pres ent, though Jimmy Riggs says new life will be breathed into 1t two years hence.

THE house by the overwhelming vote of 97 to 5S, on Wednesday of last week, rejected the senate amendment to the Indian appropriation bill of $1OO,OO0 toward a dam on the Gila river at San Carlos for the government wards. This information is a hard blow to the friends of irrigation in the west who fought so valiantly for this appropria- tion. It is blow to the hope for any definite plan for the reclamation of the arid west by the government for years to come.

EARLY in the session of the present legislature bill was passed requiring all employers of labor to have regu lar monthly pay day. The bill was signed by the governor and became g law. Now bill has been introduced for the repeal of the new law. The law should never have been passed, as it is evidence of disposition on the part of the law makers to interfere ir matters of private business. The law has no more merit than one which would require every laborer to pay hi. grocery bill on certain day in eacf month

PRISON CONTROVERSY SEITLED.

The present legislature has taken de- cided action in settling the prison re- moval controversy, over which past legislatures have wrangled for ten years, and in the opinion of the REVIEW
 the controversy has been settled in ac- cordance with economy and the best interests of the territory. The legis- lature last week passed a bill providing an appropriation of $25, ,00O for the im- prov vement and enlargement of the penitentiary at its present location in
 Yuma. Notwithstanding the fact that Governor Murphy had recommended that the old prison was entirely inade- quate to accommodate the number of pr soners there, and suggested that
 new prison be built, he vetoed the leg islative bill above mentioned when it reached him. In the house the bill was pushed over the governors veto by the bare strength of 16 to 8. Corbett of Pima, Republican, cast the deciding vote. He at first passed. When called again he totaled up the vote and cast his ballot for Yuma. In the council the only two members voting to sus- tain the veto were Perkins of Apache and Riordan of Coconino.
 In the past there have been some royal legislative battles fought over the proposition to move the territorial prison from Yuma to Prescott, many bills for that purpose having been in- troduced, fought for by Prescott and the northern counties, and defeated. Now that the old prison is to be en larged and made new by the expendi- ture of $25,000, It is to be hoped we will hear no more of prison removal, and we congratulate the citizens of Yuma on the favorable outlook for season of ''peace of mind" as far as any fear of losing the prison is con- cerned.
 In the improvement of the prison the S25,O00 provided by the bill just enacted, supplemented by the judicious use of prison labor in the work to be done, should create model institution. Suitable buildings should be provided in the walls wherein convicts may be in the manufacture of shoes, saddles and harness, leather or any other merchantable article. When these buildings are provided there will no doubt be men and companies eager to occupy them and employ the prison labor in factories of various kinds. This will reduce the cost of maintain ing the prison, besides giving employ ment to the prisoners, without which there need be but little hope of refor- nation. The prison is we'll located at Yuma for manufacturing such things as prison labor can produce, as it is on the Southern Pacific main line, directly reaching the larger centers of popula- tion in Arizona, as we'll as southern 
 Taken all in all, the people of Ari- zona should feel grateful to the pres ent legislature for the settlement of the vexed question of prison removal.
 The governors veto of any bill look ing to the strengthening of Yuma as the permenent location of the prison was to be expected; he is Prescott man, and he naturally wanted to help that town in its fight for the prison.

Geo. B. Reay, member of the Board of Supervisors from Naco, was in Bis bee Wednesday, returning from trip to Benson, where he went to consult Su- pervisor Delehanty on business per taining to the office of the Board of Su- pervisors. Mr. Reay talked to RE- VIEW representative in regard to the care of the indigent sick and wounded in Bisbee who were unable to be trans ported to the county hospital. You can quote me" said Supervisor Reay, 'as saying that the Board of Supervis- ors is willing to pay all just bills for the care of indigents in the town of Bisbee, and although 1 am only one member of the board, believe 1 speak for a majority of the members in this natter" MT. Reay gave as his reason for the disallowance of the bill for the care of the indigent Mexican who was wounded here in December, that the board was under the impression that the wounded man was in the employ of the Copper Queen company at the time and the Board considered it the duty of the Hospital Department of the Cop per Queen company to take care of this man. "Afterwards," said Mr. Reay, "I discovered that the man was not an employee of the company and at the next meeting of the board this bill will again be taken up for consideration" Mr. Reay said the Board of Supervis- ors was trying to do their duty as they saw it and would continue to do so, but that any interpretation of remark made by one member of the board to the effect that indigents should be left lying in the street, was not the senti- ment of a majority of the board by any means. MT. Reay said he thought the REVIEW did the proper thing in bring ing this matter before the public. Mr. Reay has stated the position of the board. Now the officers should do their duty-take proper care of helpless in- digents and keep the expenses at all tines within reason.

Governor Murphy made a grievous mistake In recommending an appropri- ation for the improvement of the peni. tentiary, and then vetoing the bill which made the appropriation called for. It seems that the governor did not want the appropriation to go into the improvement of the penitentiary if not removed from its present location. But this matter of removal is matter for the representatives of the people to de- termlne, and their word is final, so it was with the bill making the appropri- ation. The governor vetoed it, but it was passed over his veto by the legis- lature.-Star.
