Efforts of Pasadena's Council
to Govern a City
BITUMINOUS ROCK NO GOOD
Professor Keycs Tells What He Knows
About Lincoln
Death of nr. C. H. Torrey-The Westher
for January—Local Briefs
and Personals
Pasadena. Feb. 18. Business was light
with the City Council today, In fact it
was the shortest session of that august
body of law makers for many months.
The City Attorney wrote porty on spring
and the Clerk had an easy time of it.
All members were present when Presi
dent ('ox called the session to order with
the exception of Mr. t.ukens.
A good-natured man by the name of
Amend wanted permission to run a
me ry-go-rottnd on i'nion street, near
Raymond. His machine was a thing of
beauty and a joy forever, am) would be a
benetit to the city. Judge Weed couldn't
see it that way, and wanted to know
Whether there was any license ordinance
lor such things. None could be found
and it was finally decided to let. the show
go on at the rate of $10 per month, which
tin 1 good-natured agreed to pay.
Sir. Washburn, Who was appointed a
Committee of one at the last Council
meeting to visit Santa Barbara and look
into the merits of bituminous rock for
residence streets pavement, made- a re
port. He had looked over the streets
in Santa Barbara graveled with bitumen,
but was not favorably impressed. He
found that it was so soft iv the summer
that heavy teams were not allowed to
drive upon it, and it was necessary to
spread a coat of gravel over the pavement
to keep it from going to pieces. Con
trary to reports he found the average
cost to be about nine and one-half cents
per square foot.
In place of bitumen he would recom
mend a pavement made by using crushed
Colton marble covered With red gravel.
This pavement where in use had proven
very satisfactory aud could be laid for
about ten cents per square foot. A sample
is found In front of the I.a Grande sta
tion of the Santa F'e iv Los Angeles.
It was generally agreed that some ac
tion should be taken to improve the con
dition of East Colorado street and west as
far as the Orange Grove hill. Judge Weed
called attention to the track of the elec
tric road on North Fair Oaks as for as
Chestnut street. The tracks were too low
and.would require the street to be cut
down if it was ever put to proper grade.
Mr. Washburn reported that work was
progressing rather slowly at the sewer
farm and that probably not more than
five acres could be leveled for alfalfa in
time for this year's crop.
The question of city taxes for the coin
year come up and Mr. Wecil stated that
there was but little hopes of the bill
granting cities of this class the right to
increase their tax rates over $1 per $100
assessed value, getting through the Leg
islature this season. The city needed
roorc money to properly run its affairs.
Last year over $1000 was paid as interest
on over due certificates which the Treas
urer could not pay. He was in favor of a
raise in assessments in those localities
where advance in values had been marked
during the past year. There was consid
erable discussion and it was agreed to go
over the map with the Clerk and arrange
rates. Clerk Dyer thought the assessments
were about as high as the people would
stand.
A petition to extend the proposed sewer
on Marengo avenue ftOO feet north of Villa
streets was granted.
Resolutions ordering sewers on Mary,
DeLacy and Union streets was passed.
A new grade was ordered established on
West Walnut street.
A petition to reestablish the grade of
Grand avenue between Locke Haven ami
Arbor streets was granted. The trouble
was caused by blunders on the part of a
former City Engineer.
Resolutions were passed establishing
the grades of Valley street, Broadway,
JieLacy street, Peach' and Orange place
and Kansas street.
The ordinance changing the name of
Kansas to Green street finally passed.
Library trustees and the chairman of
the sewer farm committee were instructed
to return a report of all property on hand
prior to March Ist.
I An application to widen Villa street ten
feet on the south side between Los Robles
and Moline was referred to the City At
torney for action. Condemnation pro
ceedings will be necessary.
LIFE OF LINCOLN
Lecture by Professor Keyes Upon His
Character and Works
Pasadena, Feb. 18.—Professor C. H,
Keyes of Throop Polytschnio Insti
tute delivered an able address up
on the life and character of Lincoln
before a large audience at the Universalist
' .Church last evening.
: Abraham Lincoln, said the speaker, was
born of "whit* trash" in the blue grass
state of Kentucky, passing his early boy
hood in "a most primitive way in Indiana.
The history of his life shows that condi
tions need not control the success of a
man. He was a natural student and
made the best of whatever fell to his lot.
His life was one of incessant toil in his
youth, never knowing the word leisure.
His history through the Black Huwkwar,
as on unsuccessful businessman and his
final taking up the law profession, was
traced. Lincoln was first sent to Con
§ress in 1840 by the Whig party. His joint
ebates with Stephen A. Douglas brought
him lirst prominently before the people,
and after his defeat for Congress by that
fientleman, he became a strong candidate
or president, followed by his nomination
on the third ballot at the great Chicago
convention in the face of determined op
position.
Selections from his inaugural address
were given, and the simplicity of his char
acter commented on.
Lincoln made heroic efforts to harmon
ize the conflicting elements of the North
and South previous to the outbreak of the
Civil War. an instance being his appoint
ment of Stanton, a bitter political enemy,
as Secretary of War. He was for union
first, last and always. Abolition was
adopted as a war measure, and not until
he was forced to it. As an orator he is
entitled to a high position, his address at
Gettysburg being a specimen of the high
est eloquence, a portion of which was
(.iven. His most remarkable ability was
in handling men,which he exhibited dur
um the War. He was never connected
with any church, but was a liberal Christ
ian, with a great love and charity for his
fellow-man. His death brought out the
grandest tribute ever paid to any man.

THE OLD MINES AND THE NEW MINES OF A VALLEY RICH IN THE SHINING ORES---PERRIS
Probably in no place in California or
any mineral section of the West, except
where a rush has been attracted by some
remarkable discovery, have such advances
been made in mining as in the mining
districts adjacent to Perris during the
last year. Previous to January 1, 1804,
there were but two mills at. work in the
Perris district—one a diminutive five
stamp prospector's mill, and the other an
antiquated rotary, which for several years
had been worked on the Good Hope.
There was also a five-stamp mill lying
idle on the Menifee mine at Menifee.
Since that time, however, a twenty-stamp
mill has been erected on the Good Hope,
a ten on the Sunta Rosa, a live on the
Santa Fe, and before the Ist prox., a five
stamp mill will be in operation on the
Alice mine. Besides these, small mills
have been put up on the Infidel and
Briggs mines, and all are bringing in lair
returns to their owners. Iv the same
time wonderful progress has been made
in the development of the mines, mid
properties that a year ago could only be
called prospects, are now dignified by be
ing termed producing and paying mines.
Chief among these is the Good Hope, of
which so much has been said and written.
As will be remembered, it was sold in
January, 1804, for half a million dollars.
Its now owners immediately put up a
complete twenty-stamp mill, and it has
been running incessantly ever since and
has turned out gold bullion in paying
quantities.
The Santa Rosa was the next to put up
a mill. This was about six months ago,
and the mill has been running continu
ously, adding considerably to the world's
output of the precious metal. The Santa
Rosa mine is one of the most promising
mines in the district, and since its new
owners have taken charge its main shaft
has been sunk 300 feet. From this shaft
three levels, at the 118, '111 and 800 feet
station", run north and south, from 200 to
800 net. The ledge has been followed iv
Loth shafts and levels, and quantities of
..re, beyond the capacity ot the mill,
which w .11 grind up twenty-five tons per
• • been taken out. Several large
chambers have been penetrated and im
mense quantities of ore taken therefrom.

ONE TRAINWRECKER LESS
South Pasadena's Poiindmaster Kept
Busy
A .Machine shop Being Built for the
{Manufacture of a Patent (Jasoline
Engine
South Pasadena, Feb. 18.—Victor Ver
dugo, one of the two Mexican brothers
who were convicted of attempting to
throw a train off the Santa Fe track at
Oarvanza, a year or two ago, and sent to
the penitentiary for a term of five years,
died in the prison on last Friday. He was
a citizen of our town, and not regarded as
a vicious boy, except, when excited by
liquor. Being a consumptive when ar
rested, prison lffe, in our own county jail
especially, did not agree with his out-door
habits, and he grew rapidly worse. At
the request of his mother and other
friends his remains were sent back to i*os
Angeles for buriul.
The city ordinance prohibiting the run
ning loose of horses and cattle, or
tying them to stakes in the streets, re
ceived a vigorous ami surprising enforce
ment yesterday. Previous to this time no
body would accept, the office of Pound
master, ami the law against the mis
chievous practice, destructive to our
thousand young shade trees and to our
lawns and gardens, had not been enforced.
At a recent meeting of our City Trustees,
however, a well-known citizen had the
office thrust upon him, and he resolved to
perform his duty—by proxy, as he could
not alwuys be present to attend to it.
Yesterday morning, Sunday though it
was, the opportune occasion arrived for
beginning the good work. Quite a drove
of calves came racing through the strecrs,
having broken out of their corral, and
the Pouudmaster and his assistants were
called to duty and tliey made chase; but
the nimble-footed animals were too quick
for tliero, uud were soon scattered over
the hills and far away. The officers,
however, being tints stimulated in the
performance of their work, soon found a
cow tethered in the street and marched
her off to the pound. On the way an
other was discovered, and she was com
pelled to join in the procession. Reports
soon reached them of other depredators
upon the people's property and comfort.
And before the sun went down six of
these innocent law-breakers had been im
pounded, along with one hungry horse.
Most of them were redeemed by 'milking
time," on the payment of the penalty of
$2 each; but anathemas loud and long,
against "interference with other people a
business," generally accompanied the
liquidation. It will be sometime, it is
hoped, before the young deputy pound
master, George li ill, reaps another such
harvest of fees. He did his work well
and in the most amiable manner,
kindly advising everhody to hereafter
avoiil trouble and cost by keeping their
stock safely confined on their own prem
ises.
A beginning has been made In the mnn-
I ufaoturing business in our little city,
where homes, shops and taxes are within
the reach of everybody. Quite a large
and respectable looking' building is being
erected on Meridan street, one square
north of the Santa Fe depot, by Messrs.
Btell & Futhe, tv be used as a'machine
Shop for the making of a new patent en
gine to be run by gasoline, and also for
general blaeksmithing. The machine has
I been manufactured for a short time in
[ Garvanaa, and seems to "till a long felt
t want," for the generation of limited
power in many lines of industry.
The electric street railway, through our
section, is now showing'up hopefully.
The poles were nearly all erected last
week; the wires are being stretched to
day, and the magic fluid will before the
week is out be jerking the car wheels
from South Pasadena through our sis
ter city. A few squares in our own
territory remain still to be graded ami
rails laid, which will require but a couple
of weeks, when we will be in the charmed
circle pf. three cities with three railroads
each, and another co ming.

PROSPECT PARK
The King's Daughters' Entertainment at
Ambrose Gregory's Residence
Prospect Park, Feb. 15.—The King's
Daughters gave a very successful social at
the residence of Mr. Ambrose Gregory on
St. Valentine's eve, about eighty being
present. A literary and musical pro
gramme was listened to with very great
pleasure.
The ladies of the Home Missionary So
ciety lately formed in connection with the
M. E. Church have soon got to work;
they are having the interior of the church
fixed up this week, and have various
other improvements in view which, no
doubt, under the able management of
their president, Mrs. J. A. Lewis, will
soon be accomplished.
Prospect Park Postoflice has been made
a limited money order office.
Mr. R. M. Toll has commenced improve
ments o:> his ten acres just bought.
Rev. S. Is. Woolpert has the first two
loads of lumber on the ground for his
house ami will commence to build.
Mr. .1. J. McGrath, who has bought this
week twenty-live acres here, will com
mence to improve at once.
But little stoping lias been done. The |
ore carries free gold and is easily worked. |
Two concentrators are attached to the 1
mill and by this method all the sulphur- I
ets are saved.
| Adjoining the Santa Rosa on the west, j
end seven miles from Perris, is the Santa |
I FeSone of the oldest mines in the district, |
I but on which little practical work has been j
j done until the last few mouths. It is
: owned by the Santa Fe Mining and Mill
ing company, of which (.'. C. Davis is I
president and W. M. Stover, general man
ager and superintendent. The Santa Fe •
was "coyotea" for many years by the I
j Mexicans, and the numerous holes." cuts j
; and shallow shafts show the many I
j places from which ore was extracted anil 1 .
worked by the primitive nrrastre process. :
It is said by old timers that not less than
one hundred Mexicans worked at one
time on the Santa Rosa and Santa Fe i
ledges and all made fair wages. The mine <
lis now opened by a tunnel 870 feet long, ;
at the end of which a two-foot ledge was i
found and on which a shaft has been
sunk 86 feet. This tunnel will be run to \ \
tap un incline shaft, following the vein i i
from the top of the hill, that is now sunk | i
1411 feet. The shaft, which pitches 48cleg., I ;
j will be run 90 feet before connecting with I
the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel a i
drift will be run to the west and there
will connect with an air shaft which has 1
been sunk a depth of sixty feet on top. In 1 i
the main shaft the ledge matter is six feet I
and lies between well defined walls of | i
granite and cynaulde. Tho hills in which . I
the Santa Fe is located is a network of i
ledges, there being two on the south side I I
and three on the north and ail dipping to i
the center. At a groat depth it is to he i
presumed that all Will come in together, i
In all, six shafts have been sunk on the
Santa Fe, varying in depth from forty to I
one hundred and ten feet and all have well t
defined ledges. Immediately in front of, 1
ami about three hundred feet distant from i
the face of the tunnel a mill site was I
selected and on it a five-stiinip mill has |
been erected. The mill is an Improved ;
one and has till the latest attach- i

PURGED OF HIS CONTEMPT
A Lawyer Who Didn't Think His Words
Were Loaded
Attorney A. J. Daggs Before the Supreme
Court of Arizona Territory—Reprimanded
for Scurrilous Epithets
Phoenix, Feb. 17.—Counsellor A. J,
Daggs appeared before the Supreme Court
yesterday morning to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt in
applying abusive and scurrilous epithets
Ito court, counsel and witnesses in the
I appeal case entitled W. A. Daggs et
! als., vs. Hugh McCrum. The alleged
I contemnor's defense consisted of a
disclaimer in which he practically
desired his offensive remarks to be
i Understood in a strictly Pickwickian
| sense. Citing an old English author
-1 ity he claimed to have been acting
| under the conviction "that where
j counsel honestly believed a wrong had
I been committed, it is not only proper to
. characterize the same in such language as
will direct the attention of the tribunal
| before which the hearing is had to the
I fact, but it is bis duty to do so in the in
terest of his client." Defendant added
that his language was used in this sense,
with such understanding of the law, "and
not for the purpose nor with the intent of
! any manner offering any insulting or
I scurrilous language to or in the presence
| of the court, says the Phoenix (lazetle.
He further expressly disallowed any pur
pose to misuse his privilege as counsel, or
i to bring offensive matter before the court,
! or to have acted "from any malicious pur
] pose on his part."
With respect to an alleged repetition of
thie contempt, by asking that his alleged
| scurrilous brief, which the court had
■ stricken from the tiles, should be rein
; instated, he insisted that this action had
j been taken under a misapprehension of
: the court's proceedings. "In haste and
1 without ilue consideration he prepared
t the objectionable motion and subsequent
ly filed the same," adding that he re
gretted his action iv the premises, and
I numbly asked the court to overlook what
might seemingly be objectionable, done
in the excitement of the time and in the
absence of a true knowledge of the facts.
Judge 1). J. Edwards added his voice
jin favor of forgiveness to the penitent
I lawyer. The court delivered a serious
| reprimand and, with the intimation that
upon a second attempt at contemptuous
language the consequence might be
markedly more serious, dismissed the
j proceedings without further discipline.
POMONA
j Shipping Fresh Strawberries to the Lone
Star State
Pomona, Feb. IK.—The chances are
greatly in favor of much larger shipments
of oranges East this week than for the
past two weeks.
The Brownies this evening is given hy
the Fruit and Flower Mission girls,
the most praiseworthy charitable institu
tion in this community. They need some
funds in the pursuance of their good
work.
The Pomona Public Library is about to
add several hundred more books to its
shelves. The library is one of the most
useful institutions we have in this valley.
It is as good as an academy for many
young men and women.
Eggs have dropped to 12 1-2 cents a
dozen, with a tendency to even a lower
figure.
Plenty of fresh strawberries in our local
markets, and the dealers arc shipping
some to Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Osincr have been
showing over the valley a friend of theirs,
Mr. Crane, just arrived from Qalesburg,
111. Mr. Crane says that he has never
heretofore seen anything to equal the
Beauty of the orange groves and general
burroundings of this fair little valley.
Mrs. L. 11. Prewitt of Kentucky lias just
arrived to spend the balance of tiie season
in Pomona.
DEATH OF MR. TORREY
A Prominent Citizen of Pasadena Passed
Away Yesterday
Pasadena. Feb. 18.—The death of C.
Herbert Torrey, one of Pasadena's most
respected citizens, occurred at his home
on Orange drove avenue yesterday morn
ing. Although tbe deceased had only been
a resident of Pasadena for the past year,
he had gained a host of friends, ami the
news of his death was received with great I
sorrow. He' was an active member and I
worker in All Saints' Episcopal Church, I
and did much for the cause. While not |
unexpected, the death comes as a heavy j
blow to the widow and two children, a I
mother and a sister, who have recently |
arrived here. Flis father is at present on j
the way to Pasadena from England. The
funeral services were held this afternoon
from All Saints' Church, Rev. Mr. Gusher
officiating. The pall bearers were Messrs.
C. D. Daggett, W. L. Wotkyns, W. 0.
Stuart and Dr. Radebaugh. Interment
was made in Mountain View Cemetery.
1 mouth of the tunnel is slightly higher
than tin* mill and between the two a tram
way will be erected. Over this ore will be i
run into the mill from the furthest end I
of the tunnel. This will be an economi
cal advantage to the company because as
soon as connection is made between the
shaft and tunnel sloping can he pursued
unremittingly, and as fast as the ore falls
in can be shoveled into the ear and sent
spinning into the mill, and by automatic
tracks the work can be done liy one man.
Water for the mill is secured from a well
about 70 feet deep, at the bottom of which
drifts extend either way. The supply is
ample for all demands, * and unless there
should be an excessively dry season, the
question of water will cut no figure. Coal
is procured from the Elsinoro coal mines
about eight miles distant. The land owned
by the Santa Ke Company comprises 120
acres, and much of it can be used for agri
cultural purpoaes. One of the prettiest
attractions ot the Santa Fe is the magnili- j
cent view it offers. On tiie east can be j
seen the grand Perris Valley robed in its
garments of green, and idmust due north
can be seen, on a clear day, the beautiful j
city of Kiverside, eighteen miles distant, j
ami on the west tiie Gavilan country I
stretches out for miles in its matchless
splendor.
A little southeast of the Santa Fe, and
forming tbe point of a right angle be
tween it and the Santa Rosa, is the Golden
Chariot, recently bonded by Jerry Bhey to
Messrs. Imy A: French of Kedlands. On
this a contract was let to .1. s. Atkinson j
and others to sink a 400-foot shaft. The ■
latter is now down over a hundred feet I
and passes through a fine body of ore. If I
its prospect holds out it will be a great
mine.
The Menifee mill Started up a week
ago last Monday, after lying idle some
time awaiting tbe arrival of coal. It is
being run steadily and crushing live tons
of ore a day, and a healthy product of .'
bullion is looked for. The owners of the
property* Messrs. Acton, Mimes & Akin, [
assisted* by one man, tend both mine and \
mill, and arc working it on an economical
basis; They have undying faith in the '
future of their property, anil believe by
careful mauageiueni bhey will make their :
fortunes out ol it. All are practical miners
and understand their business thoroughly.

This order created great consternation
among the cattlemen in El Paso who had
arranged for large shipment* of cattle
from Mexico. Captain Lobb, speaking to
a Times reporter on the subject said:
"A large number of American buyers
have oonstraeted for the delivery here
and at Iteming of large quantities of Mex
ican cattle during the months of March.
April and May, and they will either have
to lose the cash bonus they have put up
or pay to have their stock taken care of
in Mexico until next December when the
quarantine will be raised. Mr. Denny at
Doming has brought twelve or fifteen
hundred head of cattle to he delivered at
Doming in a few days, and those cattle
are no doubt now on the road. These
cattle were shipped to Illinois, but this
order will tie them up at Denting."
Mr. Newsbury of Montana has just re
lumed to El Paso from Mexico, where be
bought 2">(HI head of cattle aud made a
cash advance of from $2 to per head on
them, making about 96000 in cash be has
paid on the cattle, which he intended i"
ship to Montana. But now he will be
forced to lose his money or pay more to
have the cattle pastured' in Mexico until
tiie quarantine expires next December.
And there, are many others in Mr. Ncws
bury's condition. This is a bard ship to
American buyers, who believe that the
Government should have given them
timely warning of its intention to make
such a rule, so they would have had an
opportunity to protect themselves. It is
possible that, some of the Mexican sellers
—seeing that it would he impossible tor
the American buyers to carry but their
contract—will be liberal enough hi refund
the cash bonuses they have received.
The "safe line" referred to in Mr.
Dean's telegram does not include the
counties of El Paso, Reeves, Pecos. Bitch
all and Jeff Davis. But Mr. H. M. Patter
son does not think that there is sufficient
unoccupied pasturage in these .counties
to furnish grazing for the summer for the
large number of Mexican cattle under con
tract for delivery here during the next
ninety days.
As stated above the receipt of the tele
gram instructing Captain Lobb to com
nienee the enforcement of prohibitory
quarantine against Mexican cattle today,
caused great consternation among the
cattle men in the city. Those who had
all the Mexican cattle they have pur
chased on this side of the Rio Grande
shook hands with each other, but Ihe
unlucky ones whose cattle are still in
Mexico were very much disgusted and
expressed the opinion that the govern
ment should have given them some warn
ing of its intention and allowed them an
opportunity to protect themselves. And
the hotel men are kicking because they
think I lie quarantine will result in send
ing back to their homes the army uf visit
ing cattle buyers now in tiie city.
The Times was unable yesterday to
secure a map showing the exact bounda
ries of the safety line.
It i.s believed'by some that the depart
ment can be persuaded to suspend the
operation of the prohibitory quarantine
a few days to allow the American buyers
an opportunity to save themselves' on
contracts already made.
Tucson, Feb. 17— I n Tucson word has
been received that the Government had
raised the embargo on cattle from Ihe
states of Chihuahua and Sonora, io enable
Ufortunate buyers to lose nothing.

, from tbe shaft drifts extend either way
about fifty feet. The mi no is situated
about ten miles from Perris ami is ap
proached by easy roads.
One ot the latest to be worked, Imt nor
the least in magnitude and prominence, is
the Alice mine, thirteen miles southeast
of Perris, in the beon country; and owned
by Colonel .1. M. s. Bgan, late superin
tendent of the Good Hope; W. .1. Cartau,
W. 11. Griffith. <). 8. <'arson and others.
Tho mine was located about a year ago,
ami after some prospecting Work had been
done it was bonded by the parties above
named. The ledge rtiHH east and west
and at many points it crops above the
earth of the barley fields in which it was
discovered. In many places the ledge has
been cross*out and blow-outs uncovered.
it ran in' traced for a distance of 2800 fed
At the west end of the ledge a shaft Bfi
feet deep has been sunk, showing a body
iof quarts aS well defined as mortal eyes
ever beheld. The ore is compact nnd con
tains hut little, if any, extraneous matter
and lies between almost perfect walls. It
Is a bluish quart/ and contains a small
percentage of iron and runs in gold from
a tew dollars as high as -JfiO to the ton.
The ledge in many places is t\ feet wide.
Several hundred tons of ore have been
taken from the ledge ut various points,
ami this will be worked as soon as the
mill ii* stalled.
The * wners of the mine recently con
tracted with the Baker jfron Works of Los
J Angeles for the construction of a latest
■ improved live-stamp mill, aud it is now
lon the ground, nearly completed, and in
I another week will be in successful opera
tion. It is one of the best mills ever
made, perfect in every detail, and will
have a crushing capacity of about fifteen
tons of rock a day. No better location for
a mill-site could he found than that
which the mill occupies. It is in close
| proximity to the shaft and but a few feet
I distant from a well which will furnish all
I the water necessary. Work on the well is
i now being pushed and at the present
I writing is flowing over an inch ot water.
This, however, will lie increased as depth
!is attained. Colonel ISgan is in'charge of
I the work at the mine and mill, and he is
buoyant of spirits in his belief that the
Alice will prove a bonanza.
THE SCANDAL IN ARIZONA
A Demand for the Removal of
Governor Hughes
BURDENS OF HEAVY TAXES
That Combination Against Statehood and
Its Result
The Phcrnix Review Make* a Formal Request
That the Governor of the Territory
Be Deposed
Phoenix, Feb. 17.—Concerning the re
cent expose of what the Review claims to
have beeti the combination against state
hood entered into by Governor Hughes
and Oakes Murphy, that journal has the
following to say:
The historical recital, in this issue of
the Review, of the facts connected with
the dismissal of the suits brought by At
torney-General Heney, must prove a hu
miliating record to every good citizen and
taxpayer of Arizona. In an honest and
Commendable effort by the law officer of
the territory to guard the public treasury
against the ravages of illegal and fraudu
lent drafts, the official hand of Governor
Hughes is interposed. The arm which
should have been raised to shield the
overburdened taxpayers of Arizona has
struck a severe blow against them. Every
honest man will ask why Governor Hughes
employed the attorney of record
for Treasurer Cole, \n this injunc
tion suit, to represent the territory;
thereby making him attorney of record
on both sides of the case, and then di
rected him to have the suit dismissed?
I The people who have grown round-shoul
dered carrying the burdens of excessive
taxation want to know. If Thomas
j Hughes, the brother of the Governor, who
came into office with a clouded title which
the Supreme Court of the territory a few
days since practically said was v pur
loined title, through' a legislative theft,
has taken a warrant for money which did
not belong to him, why should Governor
| Hughes interpose and stay the hand of
judicial investigation by a competent
court. If Oakes Murphy, as it is claimed,
the day before his retirement from office
]as Governor took a warrant for
| $110(1 in violation of law, why should Gov
ernor Hughes interfere to sto]i the inqui
ry whether it was unlawfully issued? To
talk plain, there is something crooked in
these proceedings. If Thomas Hughes
and Oakes Murphy acted honestly in the
premises, and, as they claim, had" a right
to those warrants, every sense of decency
and honor should have dictated a full,
fair and Impartial investigation of
the matter. But that, it seems,
is just what they did not want.
Strange combinations are needed at times
P. produce strange results. All concerned
I here appear equal to the occasion. Joseph
I Kibbey, chairman of the Territorial Ke
j publican Central Committee, Oakes
, Murphy, ex-Republican Governor,
j Thomas Hughes. ex-Republican Terri
: torial Auditor, Editor Morford, ex-Repub
lican Secretary of the Territory and Gov
ernor Louis C. Hughes and Treasurer Cole,
alleged Democrats, make up this political
crazy quilt. What sane man can any
longer be a doubting Thomas? There is
an odor of official had faith anil indecency
in this transaction which makes it Took
very questionable. The sudden payments of
the Hughes and Morford warrants wit bin a
day or so of the dismissal of this suit is
not calculated to strengthen public confi
dence. The show of indecent haste made
only adds to the grave suspicious. No one
questions Judge Baker's judicial action,
for he had no other alternative than to
dismiss the oaee, when Mr. Chalmers, who
j represented the territory by authority of
the Governor, rushed breathlessly into
court and demanded to have this suit dis
| missed. But the people can and do qttes
j tion tiie action of Governor Hughes. They
! never did have much confidence in llilil
anyway. They have less now. His ap
pointment as Governor was at first consid
ered a huge joke, it has proven to be a
political crime against the Democratic
party of the territory. There were some
well-meaning but foolish men who
aided in his appointment, who be
lieved they could exert healthful influence
enough over him to keep him honest, but
lew sadly they erred! It is Impossible to
make a "silk purse out of a sow's ear,"
and it was just as impossible to keep this
crooked man straight. His records and
antecedents should have been sufficient
to warrant them against trying such a
miracle. It is cow high time this polit
ical farce should come to a close. The
Democratic party of Arizona have already
stood much. They want an honest, capa
ble Democrat for Governor. They are en
titled to this much from the present Na
tional Administration. In the interest of
good, clean and honest government, they
demand the removal of Louis C. Hughes
as Governor of Arizona.
