1t Is right that the corporations owning and profiting by those great properties should bear their full share of the burden of the sun. port of government. Which they do not by long way. That is the head and front of their offending and the Star knows it. Even the much vaunted Doran bullion tax law falls far short of what it should do. Were the Doran bill just the entire net output of the mines would be listed for taxation, in. stead of but twenty-five per cent thereof.

OVER in Bisbee and Douglas there have been municipal elections of late, and as usual in such cases there has been vented a superabund- ance of spleen all along the line. Treachery is charged among candi- dates and workers in both parties, and more ill feeling has been en- gendered than can be allayed in twice two years. Those cities should pattern after the example of Nogales which has just come through the quietest and most res- pectable municipal election ever held. Here just one ticket was in the field, and there was no scrap ping whatever.

"SUMPTuARY LAW.

We are opposed to all sumptuary law as an interference with the individual right of the citizen.-Democratic Ma tional Platform, Chicago, 1892.
 The New York World reprOduces the foregoing plank and comments thus
 Sumptuary law in sixteen years has nearly conquered the democratic south. North Carolina gave it another victory by 10000 majority.
 Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Okla homa and North Carolina are now 'dry'' or on the point of becoming so. At the beginning of the year ninety seven out of 1l9 counties of Kentucky were wholly dry and only four wholly wet. All Tennessee was dry but three cities. More than half the counties in Texas, four-fifths of those in Arkansas, two thirds of those in Florida, Virginia and Delaware, half of West Virginia and Maryland, nearly half the Missouri counties and large part of Louisiana are closed to the liquor trade.
 Sumpuary law owes much to the desire of the white man that the black man shall not get drunk during the crop season, and it is nearly every where mitigated by the original pack age But it has conquered the sec tion that put the denunciation of it into democratic platform in 1892.
 The World presents not quite the real cause of the general adop- ton of prohibition in the South. It is not so much to keep liquor away from the negroes during the crop season, on account of a need for their work, but to keep it away from them at all times, to hold them up to a higher and better plane of conduct. It has become a recognized fact that most of the ravishments and crimes perpetrat- ed by blacks upon Southern women have been the fiendish work of negroes made savage and brutal by drink. It is as a prev entive of such horrible crimes that the South has resorted to prohibi- ton, and white men have adopted laws requiring self denial upon their own part to keep liquor away from the blacks. However, as the World intimates much of the rigor of the sumptuary legislation in the South is mitigated by the original package" But whether "original" or aboriginal" tbe package does not reach the colored man.

MONDAY of last week (election day) was a fair sample of what Nogales would be were the lid put on permanently.

Mowry, A. T.

Monday of this week A. L. Pelle- grin, returned recently from Quay mas, was arrested upon a criminal complaint charging him with adul- ltery. The accused was taken be- fore Judge Gildea, gave bond for his appearance, and applied for a change of venue, which has has not yet been granted. The affair has been common talk for some weeks, and it is stated that there is new baby. The accused is married man with quite a family, and the baby is not at his family home. The alleged mother of the new baby is a poor, consumptive girl. It is 8 nasty mess. But it is doubtful whether the defendant can be convicted un- der the law and the evidence.
