Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1902-03-05

charge against It ot being ldlotlc ana senseless in its revamping year after year of certain expressions against this paper This being the case the incident is closed so far as this paper is concerned.
 There are more men in South Caro- lima than thetw Tillmans. There are a whole lot of them who are not bull lys and who do not believe in bully ism. The governor of that state says he is sorry now he did not accept Tillman's resignation last year, and if the senate should expel him he says he would not reappoint him. Prescott in particular and northern Arizona generally, was credited last year with the greatest number of cloudless days of any place in the United States. The rainfall in Pres colt was also greater during the year than any other place in the territory. No time is lost between d cloudless sky and a storm, and as soon as storm is over clear weather prevails.
 "The Journal-Murphy has read Senator Tillman out of the category of honorable gentlemen" says the Courier. This simply means that our contemp. is pleased to place this con struction upon something said by this paper. The Journal Miner has not attempted to remove the fighting, bullying senator from the class in which he has voluntarily placed him self.
 Southern Arizona papers have stated that Daniels has admitted that he was the individual who served term in the Wyoming penitentiary. Now comes an alleged telegram from Cheyenne in which the prison warden is quoted as saying that the Daniels mentioned was a one-armed man. Daniels was probably mistaken in his own identity after all.
 J. A. Fillmore, who was a division superintendent of the Southern Pacific railway in California for over twenty five years, died in San Francisco Feb ruary P of pneumonia. after an ill- ness of less than forty-eight hours. Mir. Fillmore retired from the South ern Pacific in July last and took a position with the Northern Pacific Coast road, and attended to his duties up to within two days of his death.
 Henry Clews in his weekly finar- cial circular says: The surprising step taken by President Roosevelt against the Northern Securities com pany, as announced Thursday, threat ems to knock out the different bank CTS combinations which had in view the formation of combines for the purpose of controlling in perpetuity large number of competing roads. Some other, means will now have to be quickly devised to attain the ob- ject sought, which will be very diff cult to achieve without meeting with similar opposition and governmental attack. In the meantime the market will lose courage and force of leader ship in its recent bold form owing to doubt as to what can or will be done to confne indefinitely the community of-interest which has held all the roads of the country together to their mutual advantage, based upon which competition has been kept in check, rates kept uniform, net profits in creased and the prosperity of the railroads enhanced beyond previous experience.
 Our contemporary keeps upa sense less prating about what it calls a "Vickers telegram" foolishly and senselessly wanting the Journal Miner to explain it. As the Journal Miner never sent that alleged telegram, just what explanation of it is wanted is not apparent. That telegram has ap- parently crowded out the ''taxless toot" idea, which has held sway in the Courier editors brain for the past ten years and now occupies the one idea space formerly occupied by ''tax- less toots." 'Vickers telegram" ''tax- less toot," blacklist" mileage statesman" "Journal- Murphy" yaps are the idiotic answer of that pa per to any question on which the Journal Miner fails to agree with it. Of course it must be admitted that such absolutely senseless and childish filings and insinuations as these, on questions with which they have no connection, and on which they have no bearing, are unanswerable and about as convincing as that of the woman who yelled "scissors" in the story familiar to all.
 The editor of our contemporary takes occasion to write over several inches of space in his issue this morning to speak of every thing but those printing combina- tions to which he admits he has en- tered into, to maintain profits in printing, and to participate in the profits thereof. He never comes within hailing distance of this sub ject, and it is evident from the way he weeps those copious tears of printers ink over that alleged tele- gram that he feels hurt he did not get into a combination on printing the code. In an insinuating way, a favorite way of his in doing such things, he tries to create the impress sion that the editor of the Journal Miner was in combine on that busi- ness. The opposite is the fact as it was the Journal Miner against Phe- nix combine, hence it could not betray
