THE momentous Friday had a

'"HE momentous Friday had ar
rived; the day whereon the ia
mous-o or Infamous - Borough
Street railway bin in its
amended form was to come up for the
.aldermen's consideration.
Every paper in the city devoted col
umns to the situation. Everywhere it
was known that the hoy mayor was
fighting with all his might the bill he
had already vetoed. Equally we'll was
it understood that Horrigan was max
ing the battle of his whole career in
behalf Of the measure. If be could but
induce his solid thirteen" aldermen to
stand firm and could maintain his hold
on Roberts for the fourteenth, all
would be plain sailing and the bill
would pass by a two-thirds vote in
spite Of the mayors veto.
More than the mere bill and his
price for it were included in Horri-
sgan's reasons for his present activity.
He recognized that his prestige as boss
was at stake-that in case Of failure
his hold on the organization would be
considerably weakened, perhaps almost
so much shaken as to permit Phelan to
fulfill his once absurd threat to tear
him down from his eminence. For the
whole organization was viewing with
breathless interest the duel between
.Horrlgan and the youthful mayor the
boss had "made." In such circles a
beaten man commands scant respect.
The board Of aldermen were in ses-
sion in the city hall. Off the ante
chamber of the great roo where they
met was a small. snugly furnished
apartment, first Of a series of similar
rooms that stretched away, with con-
Meeting doors, to the far end of the
main corridor. This place, with the
room adjoining, had once been the
'comptroller's Office. OF late, however,
that official had changed his quarters
and the room nearest the antechamber
had been appropriated by Horrigan
himself as a sort of unofficial snug
gerry, where he could sit at ease and
transact business at close quarters
whenever the organizations secret in
'terests demanded his presence at the
city hall.
Here, his whereabouts known only
to his intimate and personal lieuten-
ants, the boss was wont to sit at ease,
like some fat, rubicund spider in the
center Of a web Of Intrigue, and issue
his orders or plans Of campaign. Some
of these were carried by word Of mouth
through the anteroom into the. alder.

Prosecutions UncaIled-For.

For ten days or more Yuma has been
in the throes of an abortive attempt by
the prosecuting attorney to reform
mankind, or do something of that sort,
and has kept The town in a turmoil that
can have no good results whatever.
He started in by causing the arrest
of three soloon keepers, charging them
with violating the statute which Danish
es women from saloons, ETC., and vari-
Gus other associate offenses, and en-
deavored, and is still moving to have
their liqnor licenses revoked. In sup
port of and part of this prosecution
the district attorney brought charges
against certain women, alleging that
they were connected with these saloons
and violated the law by soliciting
drinks.
In all nineteen charges were filed,
and so far FIVE of these have been tried
without one conviction. In each case
the jury was made up of representative
business men of Yuma, aud in neither
case was there any time required in ar
irving at a unanimous verdict. In two
cases it was shown that two women
had charge Of the rooms over each OF
two saloons and were conducting room
ing houses; in both cases it was shown
that stairways to the rooms above were
/. 4 !, -
connecting. entrance. The prosecution
has failed utterly so far in proving his
cases, but he has succeeding in stirring
up good deal of bad feeling, besides
giving Yuma an undesirable bit of adj
vertising, not the least of which was
secretly importing officers to make his
arrests, leaving the inference that
Yuma's officers could not Orwould not
do their duty. There is no ground for
any such action; no town anywhere has
a better set of officers than Yuma,
either from the standpoint of duty or
courage or intelligence-and surely
we have enough of themwithout i'm
pOrtations.
All that has been developed by these
trials does not reflect materially upon
the moral standard of Yuma. Among
the perhaps undesirable but every
where and always conceded necessary
evils, Yuma is no worse nor better,
perhaps, than other towns in this terri
ritory or elsewhere.
The Sentinel is the district attorneys
friend and entertaius high regard for
his ability; but we believe that his ac-
ton in these cases is not justified by
conditions, Is wrong, and as friend
we would advise him to desist.

JUDGE KENT TO PRESIDE DURING
APRIL TERM.

On the first Monday in April District
Court will De opened in Yuma by Judge
Edward Kent, Judge Campbell re-
naming in Tucson to clear the Pima
county docket, which has become very
much congested, and there seemed no
prospect of getting up with the work
unless Il special term could lie squeezed
in somewhere. Ia order to accommO-
date his brother jurist, Judge Kent
then agreed to so to Yuma and hold
Judge Campbell's regular term there,
that the latter might hold a term in
Tucson at this time.
The special session of the Tucson
court was convened last Wednesday
and will continue for some time. Judge
Campbell is trying no jury cases at all,
but is endeavoring to dispose of the
immense volume of business which has
heen gathering upon his docket for
months past.
