WEEKLY EPITAPH.
TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA, NOVEMBER25.1SS2
l'ltKHlDEXT 31AKEUS,
Tho New York Graphic, ono of
tho leading and most influential of
conservative republican papers in
tho Empire state, comes ut boldly
in favor of Grover Cleveland, tho
nowly-eleoted governor, for pres
idential candidate in 1SS4. There
can bo no doubt but Cleveland is an
immensely popular man; his largo
majority, proves that. But it must
bo taken into consideration that al
though Folgor is an ablo man, tho
icpublicans did not, as a party, in
dorso thoso who schomed for his
nomination, and to rebuke thom de
feated him, "not that thoy loved
Folger less, but their party more."
All-who voted for Clovoland for gov
ernor will not voto for Cleveland for
prosident. There is a vast difl'erenco
between tho two, which his admhers
will ducover in case he is fortunato
enough to secure tho nomination for
tho highest offico within the gilt of
the people. Of him the Graphic
says:
Confidence in the man, founded on very
slight knowledge of him, is so pronounced
as to bo embarrassing, and it will bo more
dilllcult for him to meet public expectation
ihan it would be to take the governorship
uml bo successful against tho patty opposi
tion that governors usually expect to have.
Let him show that Ue is as worthy as ho is
believed to be, and he -vn III be a great man
indeed. Let him use his great power in
behalf of good politics and of tlie various
i (.forms that the people are looking for,
ami there is nothing in the gift of the pco
pic that ho may not have. There must be
new issues, and he must make them.
There arcvolumesuf most valuable sug
gestion in his two hundred thousand
majority, given him by men of all condi
lions and all manner of political belief.
A great struggle is impending between
his mighty arniy of followers and the
small but powerful army of monopolists.
There must be reform in tho management
of parties. There must be incisures to
change the situation existing between the
very rich and the very poor.
Tho Graphic strikes tho koynote
of tho great issue of 1884, when it
says "a great struggle is impending
between his mighty army of follow
ers and tho small but powerful
army of monopolists." It will
be x bitter war between the
pooplo and the monopolists. There
is no other issuo of consequence to
arise. It was upon this that tho dem
ocrats carried California and more
than one-half of the other states
heretofore counted as republic. in.
But whether Cleveland bo the Mose
to lead thu party to tho promised laud
of success is yet a problom which the
noxt twelve or fifteen months must
decide. While we are but ono
among many thousands, and inexpe
rienced as among the veteran poli
ticians of the nation, yet we cannot
but believo that Sonator Thurman is
tho ono democrat baneatfi whose
banner success would bo inevitable.
A scholar in its widest sense, a states
man of oxperience,puro and profound,
a knight whoso lance has always been
set at rest against monopolies, his
namo would rally the groat conserva
tive element of both parties and lead
the van to a mighty and pronounced
victory for right and justice due tho
people.

Tho Philadelphia Mining Journal
of the 11th instant has absolutoly
nothing in it but puffs for Robert's
Lake Yalloy mines, the Sierra
Grande, Sierra Apache and Sierra
Bella. If thoy are good mines thoy
will speak for themselves. If they
should prove to bo frauds, it will ruin
whatever reputation that journal may
possess. It is poor policy for any pa
per, especially one claiming to be
authority on mining matters, to mako
such use of its columns. In the
phrase of tho street: "There is noth
ing in it." Certainly, it may be paid
a largo price, that tho stock in tho
mines puffed may find a moro ready
market, still it cannct but result in
loss, if the courso is' indisciiminatcly
pursued, as sooner or later it will ad
vocate worthless prospects. Again
it makes a bad showing on tho face,
as mining-men and shrewd specu
lators generally avoid mines with
fulsome reports. Better follow Davy
Crookott's advioo: "Bo suro you aro
right and then go ahead."
Tm: idoa that speculation has been
a potent factor in advancing the
price of Texas beef cattlo 140 por'
cent in five years is vigorously
scouted by tho Livo Stock Journal.
Aware of tho convincing argumental
force of mathematics tho editor sums
up the real causes in plain figures.
He says better market and transpor
tation facilities add -40 per cent; im
provement in quality of cattlo adds
40 por cent; increase in Toxas popu.
lation over increase in cattle adds 23
per cent; increased beef consumption
adds 5 per cent; and tho greator se
curity to property adds 30 per cent.
This makes up tho total of 140 per
.cent. As for speculation, it has no
thing to do with it. It is merely
cheap money seeking a class of in
Tcstment, which used to bo consid
ered too uncertain and inseouro to
warrant such investments.

The telegraph informs us that tho
vetcrant journalist Thurlow Weed is
dead. His death has been expeotcd
for somo time. His last days on
earth wore peaceable, and he passed
away wh'lo'his grandchildren held his
hands and with tearful cyos watched
the vital spark flicker, until all was
darkness. His lifo has certainly been
a remarkable one, and to tho last
his interest in all politioal matters
was frosh and eagor., When he was
bom in a little cabin on the Hudson
river, tho groat poet Byron was a
littlo lamo boy going to his first
school in Aberdeen, Another poot,
Shelloy, was a babo in his mother's
arms, and Keats was but a toddling.
Washington was the honored living
representative of Americans residing
at Mt. Vernon. Tho great Napoleon
was just married to tho peerless Jo
sephino and was yet to win the
splendid laurels of his life. What a
retrospect ! And yet when his tired
eyelids closed in tho unawakening
sleep, thero was no power by which
he could transmit it to those ho loved
and left behind. The memory with
its garnered treasures of almost a
century, upon which were photo
graphed the most startling incidei U
in the life of the nation, closed with
his last breath. When his life is
written, it will teach to tho youth of
the land a lesson in fortitude, cour
ago and perseverance which should
stimulate thetu to follow, in the foot
steps of one whose memory will al
ways be revered.
A majority of tho republicans
join with tho democrats in rejoicing
at tho defeat of Robeson. In refer
ring to this tho Chicago Tribune, a
powerful republican paper, says the
brightest spot in the silver lining
which is discerned in tho cloud of
republican disaster is tho reported
defeat of "Secor" Robeson in New
Jersey. His offenses under the Grant
administration had been condonod,
and he had shown a certain ability in
congress when tho republicans were
in tho minority which commanded a
good deal of admiration. But just
as soon as it became apparent that
tho present congress had a republican
majority Robeson began his intrigues
anew. It was mainly through his
talent for ti ailing that Keiler was
eleoted speaker and himself placed
at the head of the committee on na
val expenditures in the house. Ho
developed the grossest indiffeience
to tho good standing of his party, and
during the last session of congress
did mot o than any other ono man to
produce tho revulsion in public sen
timent which resulted in such wide
spread defeat of the republican party
this year. It is especially fitting that
he should be beaten. With Hubboll
shelved and Robeson defeated, the
republicans will bo bettor prepared
to mako tho fight in 1884 than thoy
would havo been if thoy had achiovod
a victory this year with tho influences
and methods which such men repre
sent. It has been said, and with muoh
truth, that some of the most choice
extracts of tho English language arc
passing aiound unfathered by author
or authoress. We also find many
good things in less select language
without credit, among which tho
following may be numbered: "A
father talking to his careless daughter
said: 'I want to speak to you of your
mother. It may be that you have
noticed that careworn look upon her
faco lately. Of course, it has not
boon brought thero by any act of
yours, still it is your duty to get up
to-morrow morning and get break
fast, and when your mother comes
and begins to express her surprise,
go right up to her and kiss hor on
the mouth. You can't imagine how
it will brighten her dear face. Be
sides you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little
girl, she kisse 1 you when no ono
elso was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face. You
wero not so attractive thon as you aro
now. And through those years of
childish sunshine or shadow she was
always ready to cure, by the magic
of a mother's kiss, littlo dirty chubby
hands whenever they wero injured
in thoso first skirmishes with tho
rough old world. And the mid
night kisses with which sho routod so
many bad dreams as sho leaned over
your restless pillow havo all been on
interest theso long, long years. Of
course, sho is not so pretty or kiss
ablo as you are; but if you had done
your i.haro of work during the last
ten years tho contrast would not bo
so maiked. Her face has more
wiiukles than jours, far mere; and
yet if you weio sick that faco would
appear moro beautiful than an angel's
as it hovered over you, watching
every opportunity to minister to your
comfort; and every one of those
wrinkles would soein to bo bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each
other over tho deal lace. She will
leavo you ono of those days. Theso
burdens, if not lifted from her
1883 and that our littlo world will bo
scorched and baked under the burn
ing rays of intensified heat; that the
wholo animal kingdom must necessa
rily perish. Tho professor says ho
.would like to give more cheering
and assuring information, but he
cannot. All this may be good news
for tho grand army of delinquent
subscribers, but it is hard lines on the
newspapers who aie waiting for the
presidential election. Harder yet is
it upon tho office-seekers who ex
pected to run for office in ISS-t. Wo
suppose we have to annul our con
tract for. fire wood, and take our
chances with tho rest of mankind and
hare in tho general "firing out."
Tiik following brief editorial is
from the venerable Philadelphia
North American, a solid 'republican
sheet: "Theie are strong indications
that the career of that chronic nui
sance Don Carlos Don CameronJ is
about ended politically, his alleged
adherents having become disgusted
with his haughty and erratic con
duet. It would bo a boon to Europe
if a few more crownless adventurers
woio thus summarily disposed of.
The drones who leally occupy thrones
and serve us figure heads to ships of
state are quite sufficiently numerous
and expensive somo of them, like
Louis of Bavaria, for instance, not
even justifying tho cost of the gild
ing necessary to decorate their al
leged prominence. Of tho nomadic
variety of royal pretenders, however,
Don Carlos Don Cameron is with
out doubt tho least reputable and
most mischevious specimen at pres
ent on exhibition, and in unloading
him tho Spanish peoplo the people
of Pennsylvania give signs of a re
turn to common sense, which augurs
well for their futuie peace and pros
peiity." Tiik Prescott Courier makes tho
following suggestive hint: "The
Tombstone Republican is not going
to take the capital from Prescott
right away. Mr Bolan is elected
joint councilman and it may come lo
pass that ho may desire to do a little
filibustering, in which case Cochise
may have to put herself under the
wing of old Yavapai, which really
gave biith to Cochise." In other
words it says the joint councilman of
Graham and Cochise, P. J. Bolan,
will work for the division of this
county in behalf of Graham, in
which case Yavapai will stand in
with us, in case our representatives
do not attempt to remove tho capital.
So far as the capital is concerned we
would not have it in Tombstone now
as a gift, but we do want our county
to remain intact, and woe to the man
who introduces a bill to divide it.
But we do not apprehend any such
move on the part of P. J. Bolan; he
was too strongly pledged on that
point when he accepted his nomina
tion. THE Uouner cannot iorcfet or
forgive its old fee Hamilton, of the
Independent, and in a late issue says:
"The so-callpd 'Independents' are
about the worst used up people in
Arizona. Thoy havo not won a
trick and have no political standing
anywhere in this world." All of
which may be true, but now that the
battle is over and tho smoke cleared
away, it strikes us it would be good
policy to ceaso bickering, put shoul
ders together and woik for the gen
pral inteiest of tho territory, and our
respective seotions particularly. The
territory has a grand future. We
consider tint it stands now very much
in the same position that California
did some thirty years ago, and to-day
sho is a quoen among the sisterhood
of 'states. But Arizona's possibil
ities must not be left to Fate, or
luck, if you will, while thoso who
should bo her friends arc settling
thoir differences of opinion. In
time to come her co-workers will be
honored as aro the pioneers of tho
golden state.
There is apparently no such thing
as the entail of property in the United
States, at any rate among literary
mon; for instance: Mr. Bryant's
house at Roslyn, N. Y., has been
abandoned by his family; Mr.Irving's
much loved "Suunysido" is held by
strangers; Mr. Cooper's mansion at
Cooperstown was destroyed by fire;
the picturesque "Idlowild," of Mr.
Willis, lms been twice in tho mar
ket; Mr. Greeley's Chappaqua is for
sale, as is Dr. Holland's fine summer
home at the Thousand Islands, and
Byid Taylor's "Cedar Croft" has
passed out of the hands of the Taylor
familv.
Mi:. Beeciieu calls himself a re
adapted republican. The trouble
with his rcadaptation, says the Phila
delphia Record, is that ho does it
himself. It is a continual process
with him. Uu has a new sort of
politics and a new soit of religion
with OYery chango in tho moon,
THK PKOl-XK.
How often wo hear folks we sup
pose thoy are of tho discontented sort
say: "What an awful world." Now,
there is nothing so very bad ibout
this world, if one treat the subject in
an abstract form. It is the poeplo
"Oh ! the people" who aro contin
ually mixing things up. It really
keeps one-half of this world busy
trying to keep the other half straight.
But the world is all light; it is quite
a proper old thing, turning round
and round with more regularity than
anything else known; and then it is
such a delightful study, full of nov
elty and always engrossing. We
used to bo told that two hundred
generations ago the world came frini
chaos into form; but peoplo do not
believe it now. The great book of
nature has slowly, but surely, re
vealed to tho student and scientist
many of its secrets, and as leaf after
leaf is unfolded, we more clearly
comprehend that in nature thero aro
laws inviolable as the heavens them
selves. Tho lofty tree carries next
to its heart the records of tho years
since, just a tiny sprig, it ptepud
abovo tho greensward. Tho rocks
tell us when the forests were folded
in the arms of the earth, and bj, the
cuni.iug alchemy of nature con veiled
into coal. The primative stones in
language no longer mysterious re
late tho story of each successive
cycle, and as we read it grows into a
poem of perfect rhythm, of matchless
measure and wondrous beauty. In
fancy, one can hear the hoarse waves
dashing against each other in the
wild fury of their own solitude, or as
die waters receded dallying around
the granite peaks of lofty mountains;
can hear the symphony of bursting
leaves, the first twitter f the joyous
bird?, the grand jubilee of nature as
the earth rosa from an engulfed
planet, and wo learn hotr the kocl of
the woild was laid. Thon, aftor all,
whan time was unmeasured and the
years were countless, man appeared.
Since then the tale is told in his-
tory, and freni its pages we learn
that famine and harvest, giandeur
and poverty, glad souh and breaking
hearts, bright smiles and scalding
tears have been his lot. No, the
world is good enough, it U the peo
ple. From the time the lonely shep
herds turnod from thtir henk lo
watch the glorious btaia in their shin
ing .procession through '.he hoivtiib
to the poor wretch yesterday sen
teucad to the prison, it has been the
people who have caused the heart
aches. Nature has ne passions. In all
her nioods she is true and infallible to
the laws of creation. It is the poople
who break the laws they make; who
transgress, lie, steal and kill. It is
the people whom you must keep
your "weather eyo" on, and the good
old world will take care of itself.
Tut Citizen says: "If the Democ
racy captures tho general govern
ment they will at once proceed to
carry out their ideas of civil service
reform. Their plank on this subject
is very simple. It is simply to turn
out all the republican officials and
put democrats in their places. An
intelligent public will hsrdly expect
much improvement from such a
change." Possibly not, but an in
telligent public will recognize it as
peculiarly a republican method. Tho
cohesion of spoils has held the repub
lican party together until it fell to
pieces through sheer dry rot.
The employment of girls in the
trades makes slow progress in Great
Britain. A notable exception, how
ever, is telegraphy, in which, since
tho government absorption of the
lines, the offices havo been thrown
open to women. The postoffico and
telegraph services jointly in the large
places are now principally worked by
women, who have proved themselves
fully competent. The printer's trade
is also being learned by more and
moro gills every year, ,

and think that all tho Indians are
hostilcs.

Tombstone, Nov. 25, 1583.
TWO DUULS.
Remarkable Duels 1'ouslit In Aevv
York YcntH Ago.
United Mutes Magazine.
A singular and fatal duel was
fought borne years ago in New York
by tho late Stephen Price, well
known in England as a former lessee
of Drury Lano theater. Benjamin
Price was considersd the handsomest
of his family, though his brother
Stephen was not to bo despised, either
as rogards good looks or abilities.
Benjamin one evening had escorted
a very pretty woman to tho Park
Theatre, when during the perform
auce a British officer in an adjoining
box took the liberty of staring her
full in the faco. She complained of
it to Ben Price, who on its repetition
seized the offender by tho nose with
his "finger and thumb, and wrung it
most effectually." The officer left
his box and went to Ben Price's.
Ben, in answer to a knock, opened
tho door, when the officer, whose
namo was Green, asked Ben what he
meant, remarking at the same time
that he meant no insult to tho lady.
"Oh! very well," repiied Ben, "nei
ther did 1 intend to insult you by
what I did." Upon, this they shook
hands as sworn brothers, and some
time after Mr. Gren went to Canada
to join his regiment. The fact of
the affair, however, had reaehed Can
ada before Mr. Green, and of course
got noised about. An officer of his
regiment having a pique against
him was particularly active in
airing the scandal, and brought
the matter so strongly before his
brother ofiiccis that one of them, a
"aptain Wilson, insisted upon Green
being 0 tracised unless he went back
to New York immediately and chal
lenged Price. Green, however, being
no shot, ho was allowed to get up
his pistol practice to a favorable
standard, and having practiced five
hours daily, until ho could hit a dol
lar at ten paces nine times out of ten,
then he came to New York and chal
lenged Ben Price. They fouarlit at
Hoboken, Price being killed at the
first fire. The seconds immediately
decamped, while Green, who obtained
leave to go to England on ur
gent private affairs, took a small
boat crossed the river, and got on a
vessel in the baj ready to sail for the
old country. Price's body was
found where he had fallen, with a
piece of paper attached to tho
breast, on which the following words
wero written: "This is Benjamin
Price, boarding in Vesey street, Now
York; take care of him." The body
was brought to the city quietly, and
he was buried in New York.
The death of Ben Price was, how
ever, but one-half of the tragic
transaction that resulted from the
pulling of Mr. Green's nose. Some
years later, Captain Wilson, who has
been already referred to, arrivtd in
New York from England on his way
to Canada, and put up at the Wash
ington Hotel. Theie one day at din
nor the conversation turned on the
death of Ben Price and the manner
thereof, when Captain Wilson, who
had joined in the conversation, took
credit for having been mainly instru
mental in bringing about the duel,
detailing all the particulars connected
therewith. This statement was im
mediately carried to Stephen Price
who was lying ill of the gout at
home. His friends say that he at
once obeyed the instiuctions of his
physician, and obtaining thoreby a
cessation of the gout, was enabled
to hobble out of doors, his lovvcr
limbs being swathed in flannel. II is
first courso was to seek the Washing
ton Hotel, where his inquiry was:
"Is Captain Wilson within?"
"Ho is," said the waiter.
"Show me up to his room," said
Stephen, and he was shown accord-
mgiy.
Hobbling up stairs with much dif
ficulty, cursing alternately as he
went, the gout which caused the
pain and the captain who was the
cause of his having to hobble, with
equal vehemence, he at last reached
Captain Wilson's room, his feet cased
in moccasins and his hand grasping
a stick. Captain Wilson rose tc re
ceive him, wondering all the time
who his lame visitor could be, but
his mind on that point was soon re
lieved. "Are you Captain Wilson?" said
the strangor.
"That is my name," replied the
captain.
"Then, sir, my name is Stephen
Price. You sec, sir, I can scarcely
put one foot beforo the other; I am
afllietcd with the gout. My object
in coming here is to insult you. Shall
I have to knock you down, or will
you consider what I havo said suffi
cient insult, and act accordingly ?"
"No, sir," replied tho captain, smil
ing, "I shall consider what you have
said quite suflicicnt, and shall act
accordingly. You shall hear from
me."
In duo time there came a message
from Capt. Wilson to Stephen Price;
time, place and weapons wire arrang
ed, and early one morning a boat
left New York m which were seated
face to face Stephen Price, the cap
tain and two friends. Thoy all land
ed at Bedloo's Island, the principals
took their positions, and Captain
Wilson fell dead at the first shot.
The captain's body was interred in a
vault tlieie, and Price and the two
friends returned to New York. Cap
tain Wilson's friends in America
thought ho had suddenly departed to
Canada, and his friends in Rngland
bought that he had cither died sud
denly or had been killed in a duel on
his way to his regiment.
