Some Remarkable Shooting.

Captain Bartlett. the worlds most
famous shot, visited Clifton last week,
in company with George b. Peters,
who represents Hubbard, Spencer,
Bartlett IL Co., OF Chicago, who are
Introducing the Peters cartridges.
Tho captain gave an exhibition OF
fancy shooting on the ball ground on
Sunday which caused all of the local
shots to turn green with envy. Mr..
Ryan threw up cubes OF sugar, empty
cartridges, and other small missiles,
which the captain never failed to hit.
y number OF small washers, about the
size OF hail dollars, with large holes
through the center, were thrown into
the air in rapid succession, and the
captain hit every one of them with a
small Marlin rife.
With the -, the captain did all
manner OF trick shooting. He shot
with the aid OF "A small mirror holding
the rifle at all angles and in all sorts
OF positions. He fired round after
round always striking the same spot
on brick and the rifle spoke as rapid
ly As the second hand Of an immense
clock while the bullets whistled and
sung like angry bees. The captain
fired 200 rounds OF ammunition from
the - Marlin without cleaning his
rifle to show the cleanliness OF the
Semi-Smokeless powder. The gun
showed scarcely a trace of having
been fired The captain followed this
up by firing three black powder cart
ridges and exhibited his rifle fouled
with powder stains. Immediately
afterwards he shot tho barrel clean
with - Semi-Smokless powder.
The captain is also something Of an
expert with winchester shot gun.
He throws a quart can into the air,
and shoots it six times before it falls
to the ground.
The captain learned his shooting on
the plains, having spent many years as
government scout. He was in the
last Sioux war, and has seen much
real service in the Indian campaigns.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

THE ERA was not surprised that
Governor Brodied approved the 3
hour bill. Indeed. hc could not well
do otherwise, although the bill, as
passed, by no means covered the full
intent Of the plank in the democrat
ic platform upon which the campaign
was made A. the people understood
the declaration Of the platform, it
was intended for all laLorin% men,
or at least for all skilled labor, but as
the bill passed only one class will be
benefited. and that depends upon
whether the companies decide to pay
the regular scale for eight hours
work II the companies do not stand
for this wholesale raise by legislative
enactment. then the miners will have
been greatly injured 10y the new law,
rs it will bc the means Of reducing
their earnings ouc-iifth. One week
ago there was little doubt as To the
action of many OF the leading com
panies, but the recent rise in the price
of copper has made it possible for
some Of them to continue business at
the old wages for shorter hours, but
this does not apply to the new com
panies that are developing their prop
crty, and will not be producing for
several years yet If the matter
rested with the miners alone it would
not be so bad, but it is only reason
able to expect that all other classes of
skilled labor will also demand the
same hours rs the miners, which will
result in agitation and perhaps
strikes, with their accompanying
evils. The passage Of the bill has
awak keen discussion of the
measure among all classes of laborers,
and indirectly may bc of some benefit
in bringing both sides of the question
before the people. The measure was
not supported by the labor unions,
neither was 1t advocated to any ex-
tent by working men. 1t was pO-
litical experiment and was used tor
the purpose of vote getting. 1t is
now the consensus Of opinion through
out the territory that it was an I'M
wise measure, fraught with great
danger To the leading industry of the
country.

The C0Wan Bill Passes.

\ special dispatch to the Citizen
from Phoenix says:
The council passed the Cowan bill
by vote OF 10 to ,.
The two negative votes were cast by
Ashurst, of Coconino, and Morehead,
OF ella.
1t was the aim OF Ashurst, who is
recognized as StOddard's tool in the
council, to have the bill referred TO 4
committee, and either choked to death
by delay or so amended that it would
have to be returned to the House, and
perhaps finally killed or mutilated in
a committee of conference.
1t was made manifest. however that
an overwhelming majority of the
council favored the bill and would toll
crate no monkeying on the part OF the
opponents.
Ashurst relieved himself OF some
bile and native blackguardism, which
the council tolerated patiently-and
then passed the bill.
The bill was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules. Three members
Ashurst, Morehead and Whiteside
labOred to have it referred to a COM
mittee. This was resisted by the
friends of the bill aud the influence of
President Ives was potent in forcing it
to final vote in the open.
1t was understood that only the three
. hn oil
Ashurst, Morehead and Whiteside-
were opposed to the bill, but on the
final vote Whiteside joined the
majority and voted for the bill.
During Ashurst's speech in which
he tried to explain his conduct Stod-
dard's rooters in the galleries made
much noise and were sharply called to
order by President Ives.
There is considerable gossip here
about a "canteen" being maintained
at the capitol to furnish Stoddard's
supporters with Dutch courage. This
"canteen" was undoubtedly effective
in the flibuster in til House, but it
had no perceptiblc influence on the
council.
1t is reported this evening that Stod-
dard will resign. "a he regards the ac-
tion OF the legislature a. want of
confidence in him. No one. however,
seriously believes that the secretary
will throw up the job. He has been
deprived of Z rich gold mine, it is
true. but he still has some handsome
pick ngs al his disposal
The bill will be sent to the governor
this AFTERNOON and will be promptly
approved.

THE Tucson Clifton, the leading
democratic newspaper of Arizona,
delivers most scathing rebuko to the
members of the legislature for their
failure to pass the COwan bill. The
Citizen is little too hard on Secretary
Stoddard, who cannot he blamed for
using the legislature to feather his own
nest. Tho Clifton refrains from com
mcnting upon the action of Colonel
Wilson, who drafted the platform,
and then lobbied against the bill.
Mr.. Wilson recently purchased the
Arizona Democrat, and in return for
his services in defeating the bill,
doubtless Mr.. Stoddard will furnish
the Democrat with fat lot of adver
tising in the way OF articles of incor
poration. 10y which the entire press
of Phoenix seems to have been sub
sidizcd The Citizens editorial is rs
follows:
Tho failure of the Cowau bill to he
made II law will simply Imply that
the fees derived from the incorporation
law of the Territory have been used
to dCbauch mcmhcs of the legislature
This will bc the plain and simple YER
diet OF history. The question is SO
plain that no one will fail to under
stand it. NO reasonable argument
can he advanced against the bill.
The people OF Arizona through
their Legislature cuaccd liberal in
corporation law. The fees derived
from this law, estimated To amount to
fully - 900 a year are now absorbed
10y the Secretary of the Territory
who is a salaried Official of the United
States. The purpose of the C0wan
bill is To divert these fees to the uses
at the public, by coVcring them into
the Territorial treasury. 1t is beyond
comprehension how any member of
the Legislature who has not been de-
bauchcd 10y Stoddard or his friends
can antagoniIc such a measure and
satisfactorily explain the motive of
his conduct To the taxpayers of Ari-
IONA.
so far as the Democrats of the
Legislature are concerned, the plat
form OF their party solemly promised
the people TO cover these fees into the
public treasury. The Republican
Governor of the Territory in his mes
sage to the Legislature was equally en-
phatic in urging such legisla ton.
The people of Arizona are heavily
hurdened with taxation. Public in
tcrest demand that the Incorporation
fees Toe added To the public revenues.
There is no public reason inspired by
justice, prudence and common sense.
why this should not be done.
The legislator who antagonizes the
Cowan bill directly or indirectly, will
he marked by the people. He will he
branded for life rs unworthy of public
trust The accusation of corruption
will ever haunt him. He can have
no future in the public life OF Arizona,
nor can he ever hope 10 enjoy again
the respect and confidence of his
neighbors.
