SALARY OF GOVERNORS.

We assume that the Hon. Marcus A.
Smith must have some satisfactory
information that the tenure of the
present Governor of Arizona is brief
and fitting else he would not have
struggled SO eloquently in the house
of Representatives yesterday to in
crease the salary OF Arizonas chief
executive from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year.
We think all reasonable men will
admit that the present Governor of
Arizona is getting more salary than
he is worth. Removed from the pater-
nal care of his brother and Oaks could
never reach the $4,000 a year high
water mark at any private occupation.
The pay of faro dealers. we under
stand, seldom exceeds six dollars a
day and lobbyists of the mental cal
iber Of Murphy IN Washington subsst
largely on wind-falls and free lunches.
We admit that man possessed of
brains and honesty would be worth
$4,000 as Governor of Arizona. al
though that is a sum far in excess of
the compensation paid to many OF Tie
atate Governors.
1t may be that Mr. Smiths idea in
endcavoring to raise the salary Of the
Arizona Governor, was to put him
above temptation-to insure the Ter
ritorial contingent fund, from theft, as
it We're The same idea governed the
Democratic majority in the last Terri
tOral Assembly when the Governors
contingent expense fund was increased
to $3.50 year. and he was not required
to account for it. This was done with
the hope that the contingent funds ex-
pressly appropriated for other pur-
poses might be saved from the guber-
material voracity. 1t yet remains to be
seen whether 1t was a prudent invest
ment Of the peoples money. But, as
matter OF fact, MIR. Smith had not
much reason to complain of the insult

ficiency Of the salaries of Territorial
Governors. They are well paid. when
comparison is made with the salaries
paid some OF the State Governors. The
great States of Alabama. Arkansas,
Georgia. Iowa. Idaho. Kansas, North
Dakota, South Carolina, and South
Dakota only pay $4,000 each to their
Governors. The Governor of Delaware
gets only $1,000 a year. the Governor
Of Maine $4,000, the Governor of Neb-
raska $4,000, the Governor OF New
hampshire $1,000 the Governor of
Oregon 81 800, the Governor of Utah
$4,000, the Governor of Wyoming So.
these moderately palu Governors has
been guilty of raping the contingent
funds of the State, and we ;hink it
entirely safe to assume that neither of
them had the preliminary training of
a faro dealer to equip him for public
life.
We cannot sympath;Ze with Delegate
Smiths effort to touch" the taxpayers
for more salary for the Governor of
Arizona. The present pay of $4,000 a
year is enough. If Arizona ever gets
a really valuable Governor during its
Territorial vassalage, the Territorial
Assembly will find some means to
property compensate him for extra
service.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT

ne of gold had PROCEEDED about far
enough. 1t is difficult to conceive of a
more pernicious piece Of legislation
than that now urged by the Secretary.
Laying aside all questions of senti
ment all talk of assassnating sill
YER again. the result Of such an act
could not be other than usasterous to
the country. The ultimate object of the
men behind the bill is obvious. They
wish to retire the silver dollar alto
gether from circulation.
This must be their object for they
are surely not so blind that they can
not see the endless chain which they
are creating To permit the exchange
Of silver for gold and then put the
silver in circulation again, would
quickly denude the treasury of its
supply of yenow coin and necessitate
a bond issue for the purpose of main
tanning the enormous reserve which
would be required. This was the case
with the greenbacks, it must inevitably
be the case again.
To prevent the bond issues cry
for the retirement of the silver dollar
from the arteries of trade and com
merce hundreds of millions of dollars.
The value of gold would be advanced
proportionately and the United States
would have the dearest dollaE 1t has
ever known. We hear great deal
about the dishonesty of free coinage.
Advocates of that policy have been
called by all the harsh names which
limitess vocabulares of invective
would supply.
What then, must be said of the man,
Who loaning money when 1t is cheap
seeks to make it twice as hard for the
debtor to meet his obligation as it
was for the creditor to secure the
money to make the loan? Isn't that
| the most despicable form of dis
/ honesty? The silver dollar is today
used for countless purposes at it's full
face value. 1t can never go to dis
count because the law limits it's num-
Der. No American is ever gong to
part with his dollar for less than /
cents.
No reason can be presented Of suf-
ficient strength to justify the enact
ment of the bill now pending in Con-
gress Argued down to its final anal
yss it becomes simply an effort by the
money trusts to make it easier to
corner the wealth of the country. The
people are too prosperous; hard cash
is too plentiful; therefore the law
must be invoked to strip the taxpayers
OF their holdings.

THE POINT OF THE JOKE,
1t Was Difficult For the EnElishman n
hut He Finally Saw 1t,

A party Of Englishmen were In Chi
cago sightseeing some time ago. They
were entertained at dinner by some
Chicago Englishmen who have lived IL
America long enough to have keen
appreciation of the American idea Of d
joke. During the evening all the mem
bers of the party told stories or sung
songs and entertained according tc
their several abilities
One of the English visitors could see
nothing funny in the stories told by the
Chicago Englishmen. Every time one
of them would tell good American
story at which most Of the party would
laugh uproariously this particular Eng
lishman would adjust his monocle tc
his eye and. looking wonderingly
around the table. would remark. But
| say, | don't see anything in that tc
laugh ut, v knaw."
One of the Chicago men finally re
cited an original poem The poem told
of an EngliShman who had come &c
America and after being in this coun
try only Il short time had died and gone
TO another and much warmer country
Ten years passed. and one day an inn
passing that way heard the English
man laughing uproariously.
why, what are YOU laughing at?" In.
quircd the imp.
"Oh, oh, o., such a funny story as
heard in America. Oh, it was so fun
ny" laughed the victim, and he held his
hands to his side and almost doubled
up with mcrriment
"A story you heard! Why, you've
heard no story" said the imp You've
been dead ten years"
'Ies. yes. | know. know" cried the
man. but I've just seen the joke"
This poem set the table in roar
Amid all the laughing and shouting
the obtuse visitor adjusted his monocle
and drawled out. But. | say, l don't
see anything funny In that. v knaw."

the poem as quick as a fash. "Of

SELECT PENSIONS
Resolutions of Protest Are Passed
Against Big Pensions Being
Voted to the Wives

ROCHESTER, Ind. Jan. 30-McClung
Post No. 95, G. A. r., has adopted the
following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, for years we have felt a deem
sorrow and have been Inundated by
special legislation, giving greater pen
slons to the officers and their widows
than to lhe private soldier, because when
they were mustered out and became citi-
zens they We're all equal before the law
and hence in this country it is wrong
and against the very theory of our gov
ernment to favor distinctive class, and,
Whereas, we again see that there are
now pending before congress bills to
pension Mrs. Mckinley and Ms. Harri-
son, and an outrageous bill to give ex-
presidents a pension of $25 OO0 Therefore.
be it,
Resolved, that this post will forever
condemn those who vote for and en-
courage such legislation and hold them
responsible for thus aping at traditions
Of effete monarchies and thereby insult
ing the intelligence and heroism of the
soldier in the line who fought the battles
and received meager pay.

to his testimony on that occasion for
comparison. An effort was made to show
that the two sets of statements were en-
tirely inconsistent. This the witness ex-
planned by saying that his first testf-
mony had been given from hasty OBJ
servation. 7
T. Alreck was the last witness exam
ined. He is the policeman who took
charge of West after the arrest. He
took him to the city hall and later to
the Jail. West told himAon the way that
he could not help shooting; that March
had threatened and bounded him. that
he had avoided March, and had left the
Prescott but few minutes before to get
away, and that March had followed and
knocked him down. He expressed sor-
row for the occurrence, and asked to be
Informed as to the condition of March.
Alreck said West had given him a piece
Of tooth which he said had been dis
lodged by q blow from March.
The prisoners father was unable to be
in court this afternoon, being confined
to his room at the Prescott. He is over
seventy years of age, and very frail.
Mrs. March and her relatives are con-
stant attendants at the session. There
are still several witnesses to examine
for the state.

GRAND FORKS, N. D.. Jan. 9O.-The
cross examination Of Robert BrownIee
was continued in the West case this
morning, and heated legal argument re-
suited from some of the questions, but
the answers did not appear to change
the situation to any marked extent-Aft-
er he was excused DR.. Campbell was re-
called to give additional testimony as to
the direction of the bullet wound
Evidence as to the purchase of the
revolver by West was given by E. O.
Eilestad who said he had sold West
revolver in November, and that West
had inquired as to its qualities. He was
shown the revolver with which the
shooting was done. and by means of a
private file mark in the chamber, he
identified it as the one sold to West.
Frank Carroll was the next witness
He was in the hallway Of the Dacotah
when March assaulted West, and testi-
fed that he first saw West on the floor
with March striking at him. He told
of the manner in which West drew the
gun after he arose, and said that West
moved very rapidly sideways before firing
the shot. Carroll became badly tangled
upon crosses examination, and made very
poor witness.
Contractor Mcdonnell illustrates.
P. Mcdonnell, paving contractor, of
Duluth. who has laid paving and sewers
in Grand Forks, came next, and his ex-
animation occupied the greater part Of
the day. He had stood in the hall, and
had seen March and West talking at the
desk. March leaned over and said some
thing to West, and West appeared to
answer No. March struck him blow
with his right hand and another with
his left and West slid to the floor. Wit
ness located the two men in the room,
and described their movements in detail.
AT the request of Mr.. Bangs, witness il
IustFated Vests movements, using for
this purpose the revolver with which the
shot was fired. There was strained at
tention on the part of the audience while
the tragic scene was mimicked. He
showed how West rose and felt in his
pocket for the revolver; how he heid
the weapon lowered while he moved side
wise, with his eyes on his adversary;
how he raised the weapon and fired the
fatal shot.
The cross-examination occupied the
greater part of the afternoon. McDon-
nell had testified at the preliminary hear
ing, and the defense constantly referred
