The Louisville Courier-Journal indig nantly refutes the charges made by some of the third party mischief-makers in Texas that more peneions were grant ed under Cleveland then during any other administration. The Louieville paper is determined that Cleveland's chances in the sjuth shall not be injur ed by any false representation of too great friendliness toward the Union vet erans, and their familiee, and it declares that. the Texas story is "one cf the pre posterous statements that proceeds from ignorance, and can be accepted only by men who will not keep inform" ed concerning the course of. public events." The Courier-Journal then proceeds with much elaboration to put down the rile slander against its candidate, ard declares that, "next to the tariff mes sage, the most notable public service rendered by Mr. Cleveland was tha veto of the dependent pension bill." This, Mr. Watte recn's paper thinks, was a courageous and patriotic act, and a protest against the looting of the treas ury under the pretense of patriotism. We quote: M Mr. Cleveland well knew that it ar rayed against him the orgcnizition known as the Grand Army cf the Repub lic, and there can be but little doubt that it was one of the most effective in fluences leading to his defeat in 1S88. Today all over the north the political influence of the Grand Army of the lie public is used in behalf of Mr. Harrison cgainst Mr. Cleveland. It is surprising, therefore, to hear that in the 6tate of Texas people are listening to Third party demagogues, who stop at no mis representation and hesitate at no slan der. Under the law of June 27, 1890, nearly 100,000 pensions were granted in the year ending June 30, 1S91. The first year of Mr. Cleveland's ad minibtration, 35,707 pensions were . granted. The first year of Mr. Harrison's ad ministration, 41,921 pensions were grant ed. The second year or Mr. Cleveland's administretion, 40,859 pensions were granted. The second year of Mr. Harrison's administration, G6,G37 pensions were granted. The third year of Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration 25,194 pensions were grant ed. The third year of Mr, Harrison's ad ministration, 15C.4S6 pensions were granted. During the four years, 1885-SG-S7 88, covering Mr. Clevel ana's administration 192.073 pensions were granted. . During one year of Mr. Harrison's ad ministration, 156,480 pensiotfl were granted. During three years of the Harrison administration 274,011 pensions were granted. The average during Mr. Har rison's administration will be over 100, (KX), or more than double the average during the administration of Mr. Cleve land. Thus laboriously and painfully the Courier-Journal puts down the island er" that Cleveland was disposed to be too friendly to the Union veterans. It shows conclusively that he was only half as friendly as President Harrison has been. It might have gena further and eaid that, if Mr. Cleveland had been able to enforce his private senti ments entirely, no pensions would have been granted at all. Strange to say here is an instance in which every republican paper and every well informed person in the coun try willlsoncede that the Courier-Journal has made out its case fully. The "campaign lie" that Cleveland was friendly to the old soldiers is effectually nailed. Certainly it must be a very ignorant c!ass of people and thesa only in the far south who would ever have believed cuch a thing of him. The third party fabricators would know bet ter than to go about the north and re port that Cleveland was too friendly to the old soldiers; they know that they would get themselves laughed at. But it is among the people of the south, who used to believe that the Yankees had hoofs and horns, that these fellows are able to practice their deceit. They ought to be arrested for thus imposing on the over-ignorant and too credulous southern "shovelry' It is true that Mr. . Cleveland, in his letter of acceptance, deals out a little high flavored taffy to the Union veter ans, eaying in a general way, that no complaint should be made at ihe amount of public money paid those ac tually disabled or made dependent by reason of ftrmy service," but the people of the north know how to take such things. They can read between the lines. They know Cleveland's rocord; they know what is due as a sop to the old soldier, and that, in bis case, it eig- f nififs nothing. It is as though Heods- man Stevenson 6hould expatiate on the beauties of civil service, the while he "winked his other eye." Los Angeles Times. The Republican primaries parsed off harmoniously today. A fairly large vote was polled and the best of feeling pre vailed. This augurs well for the suc cess of the party in November next. A proposition is about to be put 1? fore the city council by the Tucson Water Works and Sewerage Company for two separate franchisee, enid fran- chises to extend for a period of h.ty years. As may De unuer9'ooa oy ine name of the company the intent and purpose of said company is to provide the city with water and sewerage sys tems. Of both these systems the city is much in need and every encouragement consistent with good judgement and the interest of our citizens should be g ven. Care must Le taken, how ever, in case one or both of these fran chises are given, that justice- is done to all parties, the city as well as the com pany and the company as well as the city. In tha franchises as offered, there are several exacting and objectionable features that must be 6tricken out be fore a final passage of the ordinances are reached, and besides the measures are of such importance that no city council would dare run them throuph at one meeting, but time must be given for their consideration. When laid be fore the council both measures will be ia the field for public discussion. HOW TO VOTE. Under the above caption the Germnn- American Insurance Co, of which .Meesrs. Underwood Jc Uibbon are agents, gives the following instructions: The ballots are hereafter ti te furn ished by the state for the statd officers, and by the city for local cQoers. These ballots are to be differeDt in color. No ticket can be voted but those officially issued. On these ballot? the names of the candidates of all parties are printed. A vote ia cast by putting a cross after the name ef the candidate, with a small rubber stamp supplied for this purpose, and found in the booth. You must not use a lead pencil in marking the x, which means a vote, or your ballot is not counted. The ballot you obtain from the ballot clerk ia to-n from a book, and a number is printed on it which the clerks raak opposite your Eaxe on the register, go that when your ballot is handed to the inspector the number is compared be fore depositing the tame in the box to see that it corresponds with th9 one handed you upon entering. There is a blank Fpace in the case of every office, which the voter may rill with the name of any candidate he chooses, but in the small square opposite the came you write in, use the rubber stamp to mark the x, not pencil or pen. Cf course the name added must be written with one or the other. The Tasmanian trick cannot very well be played under this law, for each bal lot has a stub numbered on the back. If the baMot offered does not correspond with the etub it cannot be received. Nothing, therefore, could be gained by surreptitiously getting possesion of a ballot, tilling it up and giving it to the purchased voter, with instructions to vote it and bring back the clean ticket which he obtained in the polling booth, for the use by the next vagabond, for the series would be thrown out. The illiteracy dodge also cannot be worked without danger of the ctate prison. The voter who swears he can not read is entitled, to call an election officer to his assistance. By this means he might secure a chance to sell his vote in the privacy of the booth. But it ivill be dangerous all around. If the execu tion of the law falls into decent and reputable hand6, the best results may be expected. But if the political round ers should get hold of it many of its safeguards may ba broken down. No law is self-executicg. There is 1 able to be a misunder standing in regard to scratching and voting straight. When you cross any straight ticket, you have voted for all the candidates you are entitled to vote for, so should you put another cross op posite a name you would lose your vote. But there may be constitutional amend ments or any ether question that could not be included in the straight vote the cross in this case is also put opposite which ever you wish to vote for. RELIEVE THE RANGES. The report comes from all parts of the county that the drougth is more serious in its effects upon the ranges than was supposed during the summer. The green grass is all gone and the little cured grass that is left shows tb.6 barest ranges that have ever been seen in southern Arizona. There is but one remedy and that is to move the steer cattle at once all steers, old and young, and old weak cows should be taken to new ranges so as to give the brood cattle some litt'e hope o! living through the coming wint er and spring. Unless this is done End speedily, the range cattle industry in this county will be a dream of the past. The strongest evidence that the cat tle here cannot live through the ap proaching winter is the fact that the pick of 111 head cf T. Lilhe Mercer's Bteers only brought 62.30 per head at a recent publio sale. His stock cattl were just sold with 20 bidders present, from JUDO to CO cts. per head, respectfully, fair first and sec ond choice. Our advice to the stockmen of this oounty is to move all of their steer c&ttla at least, and on ranges where the grass is short, the old cows should b1:.o go. With this object in view C. M. Bruce is nrw in Xovmla. Wiillpr ail is now in California, Clin Cameron in tha Pan- ( handle of Texas, all seeking now ranges, and II. R. Richardson will also ship his cattle away within the next few weeks. With each of these large shipments many of the snail neighboring ranch men will B3ud their steer cattb, paying their pro rati of th-? expeneca of freight and j a-turng-1, aocorJing to the numbers owned by tha several shippers. At the priuriry election on Saturday last the choice of the people fell on 10 excellent representatives. Whenluc- 6on sends puch men inta convention the interests of thf Republican party are safe so far ae lies within their power. It looks as though the Phoenix Ga zette was running t ie Democratic poli tics in Pima county. Can it be poseiblo that the Star is going to desert its o'd master, the Democracy, and fly the flag of the popuiirts. Evidently much faith canLot be had ic the election of Oleo margarine from Buzzards Bay. The Republican convention for the nomination of county officers will be he'd in Tucson on the 8th instant. Whiie it is impossible to select a ticket till the convention gets together, there should nevartheless, be an understand ing as to whom, so far as Tucson is con cerned, will go before the convention for its honors. To do this will not ODly avoid confusion but will insure, the se lectman of a ticket that will command the admiration and respeot of the peo pi.

George Tricknor Curtis, the eminent constitutional lawyer, who has been a shining light in the Democratic party for so many years, doe not believe in doing things by halves. When he has convictions, he believes ia backing them up with actions. We quoted, a few days ago, his views on thaantiprotection plack of the Democratic platform. Therein he repudiated in t to, the Democratic pronounciamento that the levying of a protective tax by the Government ia unconstitutional. Mr. Curtis has written the following letter, which fully explain itself, says the Los Angeles Times. Richfield Sprigst (X. Y.. SeDt. 12 Wilbur F. Wakeman, Esq., general scre tary of the American Protective Tariff League: Dear Sir In fulfillment of my promise made in response to your let ter of the 7th icst., I proceed to give you mv views of the protective issue as it has been made by the two political parties in the present campaign. First, however, h t me observe, by way cf preface to whet I am about to say, that although I have for very many years acted and vo'ed with the Democratic party, I can not do so in the coming Presidential elec tion. A vote for the nominee of the Ia Democratic National Convention will mean a vote for tree trade. It will mean n vote for the doctrines enunciated in the platform, which denounciated the Republican tariff a a fraud on the grea majority of the American people for th benetit of a few, stigmat'zed a protective tariff as unconstitutional, and proposes to lay duties lor obtaining revenue only without regard to the protection of our own industries. I cannot by my vote amrm anytmng so false as this. A man muss pay some regard to truth in politics as well as in other thicga. To ffSrm what I believe to be untrue political uoctnna is something that I never did nndthall not do it now. I consider the a-jti-protection "plank" in the Deraocra tic platform to be as false as anything that I have ever known to be asserted in a similar instrument. If it had said that th existing tts riff needs revision, I might have concurred. But it has gone the whole Lngth of denying that 'any pro tection cf our domestic industries is with ia th.3 constitutional power of Congrosa 1 repudiate this doctrine, because I know better. This is not the first time that I hav differed from my party. I was born and bread in the etate of Massachusetts, and lived there until I was fifty years old. was educated as a Whig in politics, and I learned constitutional law from Dame Webster and Joseph Story. In future communications I shall show that in lay ing duties on foreign products it perfectly constitutional for Congress to lay them 6o as to encourtge our Amen can-industries, and that a tariff for reve nue only would bring ruia upon the Government end upon the people.
