Judge A. Q. Wright Of Jack
sonville who, as we have before
stated, is earnestly seeking to
gain his own consent" to enter
the race for the United States
Senate, has taken offence at our
little squib Of last week and
comes at us with a letter which
we publish elsewhere, in which
he states that he would be will
ing to leave his election to the
voters of Madison county, and
if he didn't lead every other
candidate in this county to re-
tire voluntarily from the race.
The Judge may be right, we
don't know, but we have asked
one or two of the "oldsters" of
the city about his services to
the county in the year which he
names and, strange as it may
seem, none of those asked about
it could remember even the
judges presence in Madison at
t hat time. This editor was a
resident here in that year also
but fails to remember anything
SO very startling during that
time. We were quite young, it
is true, but then we can't recall
that the county needed saw
ing" about that time. Doa't
get mad, Judge, nor take your
self too seriously. No offence
was intended when we wrote so
8 4ippantly." And if you really
intend to enter the race for the
Senate we would suggest that
you come to Madison and renew
The acquaintance of the year
1882 and rehearse your part in
he saving" process. Seems
ike we have forgotten all about
t here.

This from the Lake City In-
dex. "In conversation last
week with j. N. G. Stockton, in
Jacksonville, in answer to en-
qulries, he stated to us that if
elected ne would be governor OF
the whole people; that he would
foster no factionalism; that In
appointments to office, if he
should be chosen governor, and
there we're vacancies to fill,
competency and honesty would
be the only qualifications ne
that he would have no
friends to reward nor enemies
to punish. If we are tight IN
what Mr.. Stockton said, he
comes very near what is need
ed" without in the least re-
aecting upon the gentleman in
question, we would just like to
ask if ever in the history of
politics has there been found a
for any position who
has not made substantially the
same statement before election?
Mr.. Stockton means every word
which he has said and we be-
lieve if he is elected he will
come as near to a fulfillment
Of his promises as any other
but then it is well to
take all prediction promises
not with one, but with several
grains of salt. Then the re-
action will not be quite so Sc.

One day there drifted into camp two men on horse

The story is of the old Yuma trail.
Professor MCGEE dwelt in tentless camp for the
purpose of desert and meteorological study directly
upon the Yuma trail in Southwestern Arizona dubbed
"The Devils Highway" by the Spanish pioneers who
traced it the great desert before the landing of
the English at Jamestown or Plymouth Rock. 1t
was over this highway of death that from 40 to the
middle SOS the American pioneers in their long jour
ney to the gold mines of California experienced
their worst suferings, and the way is lined with the
graves of thousands who succumbed to the terrible
desert thirst feared than Indians bandits.
The barren way begins at Santo Domingo on the Mexl
