THE friends OF Mrs. Harrison, widow
OF Benjamin Harrison, at one time
president, have decided to abandon
their efforts to secure her pension of
$1,000 per year. Mrs. Harrison was
perfectly willing to accept the pension
but other members of the Harrison
family, who had no very kindly feel
ing for the lady, opposed the pension
on the ground that the widow married
Benjamin Harrison after he had re-
tired from the presidency. Mrs. Har-
rison missed a golden opport unity to
ingratiate herself in the good will
of the people by not refusing the PEN
sion in the first place. The ex-presi-
dent was estanged from his family,
caused by his second marriage, and
left his vast fortune to his widow, who
was therefore not dependent on the
government for her daily bread. Mrs.
VIM. Mckinley, who is also quite
has been granted pension
OF 5000 year by an act OF Congress.
1t seems that pension money is always
welcome, even when it is not needed.

CHARGES AGAINST GOV
ERNOR HTRPHY.

a recent dispatch from Washington
says: Delegate Mark Smith OF Arizona,
presented IN person TO President Roose-
Welt last Saturday, certain charges
made by Eugene ). Ives, OF Tucson,
against Governor Murphy. The gov
ernOr was present at the time. Dele
gate Smith was very courteous TO Gov
ernor Murphy and said, when he hand
cd the charges TO the president, that
be did so by request, knew nothing OF
them and did not stand sponsor Tor
them.
The president al first refused TO con-
slider the charges, saying he was per-
fectly satisfied with the 40 ministration
Of Arizona affairs By Governor Muir
ply. At the governors request, how
ever, the charges were received and
referred to the secretary OF the interior
fer examination. On Tuesday Gov
ernor Murphy appeared before :he de-
par;ment of the Interior and made
reply. The case was disposed OF i'm
mediately, and the secretary reported
this morning to the president, a. toll
lows:
Under your reference / have considered the
charges against Governor Murphy, also the
governors answer TO the charges. Upon e1-
animation hnd that some of the charges are
wholly rcfuted by the facts and laws OF Arizona,
aud that the others amount TO this That Gov
ernor Murphy in the expenditure aud disbursc-
meut n the funds appropriated for contingent
expenses, did not require or make au Itemlzcd
statement such as would have been suges ted
by high degree OF prudence. There i n state
ment in the charges that the natural and legal
Inference from such an accounting IS that the
money was wrongfully used. but there is no
showing that any part of the money was not eX-
pended for the purposes indicated by the
statute.
This matter was investigated by legislature
OF Arizona, viii h was largely opposed 10 Gov
ernOr Murphy ia political complexion. The
legislative committee divided along political
lines and the majority submitted report adj
verse TO the governor. but il was not adopted or
approved by the Legislature On the contrary,
the legislature thereafter. in making
appropriations for contingent expenses TO be
disburscd under the direction of Governor Muir
ply, increased the apprOpria tiou over that
therefore made, and expressly declared thar
no itcmized accounting on the part Of the gov
cruOT should he required. and it appears with
reasonable certainty that Mr.; Ives. who now
makes these charges, aiIirmativcly participated
in the increasing of the contingent fund and
the exemption Of the governor from the render
ing of an itemiZed account. Upon the whole,
therefore. | dOubt whether the charges were
presented in good spirit. and find nothing i'll
them 10 impGgn the integrity Of the governor,
or which iustihes adverse action.
When the president received this
reply he instructed his secretary u in
form Mr.. Ives OF its purport, and to in
form him that he considered the in
cident closed, and that no further
action would be had upon the charges.

THE following editorial is from the
Stafford Guardian, and most probably
correctly re1ects the sentiments of the
farmers OF the valley:
The fears that seem to be entertained
that law suits will be brought by the
valley people, or any portion of them,
against the copper companies to pre-
vent them from dumping tailings into
the river, we believe to be entirely
grOundless. We have heard OF no such
threats except through the columns of
the Bulletin and Bisbee Review. We
DO not believe it is the intention of any
One in the valley to attempt to reach
the matter in any such way; we do not
believe such course would be neces-
sary. If it Is proven beyond a doubt
that these tailings injure vegetation
and is going to cripple the valley when
the facts are properly laid before the
companies they will take steps OF their
own accord to remedy the evil, for
they are interested in the welfare of
the agricultural development as well
as the mineral development of the
county.
The Guardian is exceedingly fair
with the mining companies. but it has
no desire to injure anyone, neither
will they Intentionally do so. The
ERA understands that at the sugges-
ton of superintendent Colquhoun,
committee of prominent farmers from
the lower valley have been appointed
to come up and make thorough in
vestigation of conditions, and for the
further purpose OF consulting with the
managers OF the companies now operat-
ing here. This is a matter in which
the miners and farmers are mutually
interested. 1t would materially in
crease the cost of expenses at the
mines were the farmers done away
with, and the closing down of the
mines would paralyze the farmers.
The ERA does not apprehend that
there ID any real danger Of clash be-
tween the two industries, nor will
there ever be as long as both sides are
guided by a sense of rig hit and justice.

COlorless newspapers are not good
property. In the anxious effort to
offend nobody, they disgust every
body. To suppose that the public
likes blind fiattery and time-serving
is to underrate the general intelli-
gence. Happily, there are multiply
ing instances of newspapers that are
highly successful, though entirely
independent, and readyat any time
to speak their minds freely in the
face of party or local prejudice.

1T Is A LIVE ISSUE.

Friends of the dispensary in this county. seeing
that the sentiment of the people is of decided
opposition to that measure have sought to becloud
the issue of this campaign by saying that the dis

therefore dead issue, and ask: "Why then waste
time in preaching the funeral of that which is al
ready buried"
What are the facts?
The dispensary was never an issue before the
people till now. The measure was sprung in the last
legislature and passed the House of Representatives
without much saying to the people, by your
leave" 1t piece of revolutionary legislation
which, once Incorporated in law. would have meant
