HE recent grand jury report at tracted widespread attention and comment throughout the county. The immense floating indebtedness,
 together with the vast annual in- crease of taxable property, would inc Gicate that the affairs of the county are not being administered in an economical and business like manner
 This statement is not intended as a reflection on the honesty or business capacity of the board of supervisors. for the law usually fixes the fees and charges against the county. How ever, the grand jury saw fit to criti- else the supervisors for their lax methods of doing business. That the expenses of running the county are entirely too high is quite apparent. A genuine reform administration is greatly needed in this county. The fees allowed hy law are in many in- stances out of all proportion to the services rendered, hence 1t is little
 wonder that there is such a scramble for county offices. One of the main causes of carelessness in county af- fairs is the overwhelming democratic majority in the county. Were the parties more evenly divided, the party in power would be on it's good behavior, lest at the next election it might be reversed at the polls. The republican party would Do willing to assume the responsibility of county government, and no doubt a change would be greatly beneficial to the tax
 payers, but the democrats will an swer that they will do the reforming themselves. The republicans an nounced their willingness to accept the responsibilities of county govern ment two years ago, and put a full ticket in the field, which seemed only to have the effect of bringing out a full democratic vote, with the result that the republicans went down by a majority of from three to nine hun- dreC. The people expected much from the new administration, the result Of which, however, has been given in the late grand jury report. which is far from satisfactory to the tax payers. The question at issue now is, can the democratic party reform itself, and il not, then what? It has been demon strated time and again in this county that the democrats, who have such a large majority, will not vote for re- publicans. Possibly they might sup
 port a mixed ticket. In this manner it might be possible to awaken keeneI interest in local politics from which some good might be accomplished. A movement of this kind might at least compel the democrats to select theiI | candidates with greater care.

TIE ERA regrets that some of iis territorial exchanges are attempting to make political capital out of the Shoot investigation. Senator Shoot is republican, and while the demo crats in Utah may be benefited by such a course, it is not likely that they would profit by it in Arizona, for the reason that nearly all the Mormons in this territory are democrats. But this is really not political issue, notwith- standing the fact that MT. Hearsts s papers are pushing. the issue. hoping to yatn lew votes for Mir. Hearst in the territorial convention. The Nor mon people are passing through a trying ordeal brought about by the investigations now being made in congress, but the man who attempts to make political capital out of it will not be looked upon with favor by any class of people. The Mormon people as class are among the most law abiding and industrious citizens of the southwest. They have con- tributed more than all other stewards making the country what it is. There may be a few exceptions where they have violated the laws, but many gentiles are in the same pre- dicamcnt, not only in the west. but also in the east

It is interesting to note the unani- mity with which the citizens of Tue son sustain President Babcock and the university faculty in their administer ing healthy discipline to the rebellious hoodlem element which betimes creeps into the institution. There should not be the slightest hesitation in the dismissing of any one who shows the disposition of insubordina- tion. The university is for those who wish a college or a university educa- tion. Those who cannot conform to the rules and discipline of the insti- tuition should leave. They are no more obliged to stay, than is the uni versity to keep them.-Star.

Chas. Carson and Col. Boomerang de Smith, two of Clifton's best painters, were asked to go to Morenci last week to make estimates on a piece Of work. The concluded to go on horseback and as Carson has several of the wild est mustangs in town, he kindly offered to loan one Of them to the colonel, at the same time explain ing that it took an expert to stay on them. The colonel Is a noted rider having spent several years with Buffalo Bilt's grand aggregation Of rough riders. But the colonel is a little out of practice, having retired
 from the bronco busting business some years ago. However, he is not afraid to tackle anything thnt wears hair so be gladly accepted his friends kind offer, and the two started out. The bronco was little shy, but the colonel got along splendidly until they were nearing the Lines and Anderson dairy, when an ore train came along, which excited the broucos, and they pro- Ceeded to give as fine an exhibition of bucking as was ever seen in A riZona. 1 The colonel stuck to his cayuse until it started to 0ucking- daGlr-h em bank ment when he--Nked drr d soft spot and turning sohersault lighted on all ,ours in the slimey tailings which were about four feet deep. He alighted with considerable ene-gy and as the tailings are very similar to quick sand, the more he struggled the deeper he became embedded in them. Carson finally got his horse under con- trol and threw his riatta to the strug- gling colonel, and with great effort managed to eXtricate him from his really perilOus situation. The colonel Is naturally of quiet and placed dis position but Mr. Carson says that at that time he seemed to be laboring un- der great mental stress and the language he used was not in accord with bis usual genllemanly deport- ment. There has been coolness be- tween the two ever since, and it seems probably that the former pleasant re- latlons existing between them has been dissolved in the shines of Chase creek.
