Tick attempted anamination of I'res
iilcnt M:Kin!rv, which occurred Fri
day hint, han .wen the all-absorbing
tojiic of conversation ever a! net. The
details of the crime were given in
a iecial edition of the Kk, and are
now m well known as to neced no
repetition at this late date. The fact
that the president t-lill lives and will
most likely recover is ttuHicient for
general rejoicing. Many heart-felt
prayers have !een faid anking ÍJod for
liis n)eedy recovery. The American
leople never fully realised their great
love f.r the prerúdent until after this
cowardly and rnot despicable attempt
was made to take his life. Neither did
they apjear to fully rcali.o the mean
ing of anarchy. Anarchists have
been jiermitted to hold public meet
ings throughout the land, but now
that the true American, who loves his
country, has Ix-on brought face to face
with anarchy in its most hideous form,
no time will be lost in its suppression.
As a people wo have neither the time
nor inclination to consider the causes
leading up to the making of anarchists
in foreign countries. We know that
they are murderers of the vilest type,
who without cause or grievance, wish
to destroy our government. This is
enough. Kvery one of them should bo
arrested and placed where they can
harm only themselves. Certainly laws
can Ik: passed to stamp out this nest
of vipers. It muy be that their an
cestors had a grievance against somo
country, some where, in ages that are
gone, but the lino must now be drawn
against them in America, where they
mistake liberty for license, and
band themselves together not only to
do murder, but to destroy all forms of
government. No law can be too harsh
for the punishment of such crimes as
they openly advocate. The timo for
action has arrived!
It skkms that the Cochise county
board of supervisors are "up against
it." as the Copper (Jueen Company,
joined by two or 1. 1 1 r e o o 1 1 1 e r co m pa n i y
courts for several years and the coun
ty's finances will bo in a most deplor
able condition. Tho Coper (jueen
company was raised on its assscssment
$l,000,Hn. The territorial board of
equalization refused to interfere in the
matter. The name- of tho territorial
board is clearly a misnomer, because it
failed, or refused to equalizo taxes
Whilo the Copper Queen, the Common
wealth and the Calumet were being
held up and shook down, the Uuited
Verde, which it is alleged cannot be
bought for $500,0H),000, and which
cleurs ulxnit $1,000,000 per month pays
taxes only out t."0,000. If tho terri
torial board of equalization considered
that the values placed on the Queen,
Commonwealth and Calumet were about
right, then it was clearly their duty to
raise the value of other large producer
in the territory. This is only common
horse sense. It is nothing short of
roblmry to tax a few companies in
Cochise county almost as much as all
of the rest of the mines in the terri
tory. The United Vcrdo is making
moro clear money than all of tho mines
of Cochise county, and yet it gets off
with about one-eighth the amount
asked from three com pauies in Cochise.
The Ixiard of equalization should bo
abolished, or laws should bo passed
compelling it to equalize taxes on the
net out-put of tho various companies.
Arizona of lato is furnishing a con
siderable amount of scandal. First
came tho Hoey-Ohinosc affair, then tho
University scandal, and now dispatches
from Washington state that charges
have been filed against Chief Justice
Webster Street, whom it is alleged has
leen living beyond his means, which
is a most delicate way of conveying
the information to the public that the
Judge is corrupt, or in other words
"has been making a little something on
the side." Theso men were all import
ed into Arizona, and when they "go
wrong" Arizona blushes with shame
and mortification. When she becomes
a state and may the good Lord hasten
tho day she will select her officials
from her best and most responsible
citizens, who will discharge their
duties with credit alike to themselves
and their state, because they will be
honest men. The people of Arizona
aro tired of being ruled by Indiana
ward-heelers and political misfit who
havo been unable- to make a living at
home. We are tired of it most
tired of it.

A scaSIul i-eems to have developed
in the Territorial University at Tucson.
I'rofes.-or Parker was dismissed by a
unanimous vote of the board of regents.
The Tucson Star condemns it as a
greater and more dastardly outrage
than the attempted assassination of
President McKinley. The Star is al
ways hysterical. The Citizen, how
ever, in giving an account of the
a flair, among other things says:
On the 22nd of August Itegent.
Zabriskie, Tenney and (irossetta helJ
a meeting and Parker attended. He
again pleaded his innocence of bad in
tent and solemnly declared he never
put his ''hand on a woman with lewd
intent.'1 He again pleaded for secrecy,
and said that he was ready to resign."
This, of itself, is amply sufficient for
the dismis-al of the Professor. The
board, however, aked for his resigna
tion, and gave him the alternative of re
signing or standing a public examina
tion on the charges already made by
several of the teachers. In comment
ing upon the Professor's letter to the
regents refusing to resign, the Tucson
Citizen says:
"When the Itegents met yesterday
this document was laid lcfore them.
The written statement of several of the
women teachers of the University ac
cusing Parker of using indecent and
lascivious language to them, were also
read. The admissions already made
by 1'arker to at least four members of
the Hoard were recited anil discussed,
and then by the unanimous vote of the
Board Parker wa dismissed.
"The news of the dismissal of the Pres
ident of the University, of course,
created a great sensation in iucson
It did not come as a surprise to several
iMjople however, who knew of the accu
cations of the women teachers, and the
morbid desire of Parker to gossip on
sexual subjects. It is not alleged that
Parker was guilty of any overt act;
but he kept on getting from bad to
worse, his language beingso&uggestive
at times, that the women teachers fear
ed him, and refused to be alone with
him.
"Parker is a Methodist preacher, and
was residinfr at Pasadena. California.
when L. C. Hughes, then Chancellor of
the University discovered him, and
brought him here to preside over the
faculty of tho University. There
muoh vhisering on tho streets regard
ing the relations of Hughes and Parker.
That they have been very close and
confidential is generally known.
"Parker has not any general Qualifi
cations for the Presidency of a U niver
sity. Ho is only partially educated
lie has no executive ability, lie is
narrow minded. He was never cut out
to bo a leader of men. Tho students at
the University had not much resect
for him. lhe capable members of the
faculty have nothing but contempt for
his attainments. He strove to make a
denominational institution of tho Uni
versity, and caused tho Methodist
Church Sabbath services to bo an
nounced to tho students each Saturday
afternoon.
"It is asserted bv the Itegents that
Gov. Murphy had nothing whatever to
do with tho dismissal of Parker. J he
members of the Hoard take all the
credit for the act to themselves."
It is a great misfortune that such a
calamity should befall the University,
but unquestionably the Hoard of Re
gents acted wisely, and they should be
indorsed by the press and the people
The University is a territorial institu
tion, supported by the taxpayers at
ness will soon have passed.
JunciNd from the maimer in which
several newspapers in Southern Ari
zona rushed to the defense of Collector
Hoey, and condemn all those who were
instrumental in securing evidence
sufficient to justify his arrest, it is
quite evident that the smuggling of
Chinese across the line has leen carried
on extensively, and that the ring had
many connections outside of otlicial
circles. Some of the newspapers do
not hesitate to distort the fact in re
gard to the arrest of tho two Chinamen
who resided in Sonora, and who made
a business of smuggling Chinamen
across tho line. Theso papers still in
sist that Webb crossed into Mexico and
by force compelled the Chinaman, a
citizen of Mexico, to accompany him
across the line. This is so utterly at
variance with the facts that we marvel
at the nerve of an editor who would
make such a foolish and untruthful
statement in the columns of his paper.
The facts are that tho Chinaman was
not a citizen of Mexico, neither was lie
kidnapped, and forcibly brought across
tho lino. Webb and the Chinaman
were hunting in a buggy, when Webb
drove across tho line and bolh were
placed under arrest by United States
marshals. These are facts eaisly sub
stantiated. Webb not only had a right
to do what he did but in addition to
that he was simply carrying out in
structions from superior officers, and
instead of censure he deserves credit
for his acts. There is no possible
doubt that large numbers of Chinese
have been illegally admitted into this
country, to come in competition with
American working men. It has been
common talk in this section for a year
or more that Chinamen were constant
ly arriving who had been allowed to
cross the lino illegally. Local China
men themselves have repeatedly stated
that they were compelled to put up
money in large amounts to keep their
friends from being exported. The ex
tent to which the gang had been oper
ating can best be judged by the amount
of sympathy expressed in favor of the
chiefs by the people and press along
the border.

I'edro Vargas was arrested Monday
on a warrant charging assault and
battery, issued from Judge Chapman's
court and sworn to by Silvestre Val
en.uela. The defendant claimed a jury
trial. After the evidence was in the
jury quickly rendered a verdict of "not
guilty." The trouble seems to have
been a family quarrel. .
Last week there was a premature
explosion at the I. C. M. Co. 's lime
stone quarry In which Charlie Caronico
was seriously injured and Hdujel Hol
quin received slight injuries. Caron
ico's face was badly cut, and at first it
was thought he would lose the use of
lxjth eyes. One eye will still give him
trouble but tho other is sound again.
It is a wonder that tho accident was
not moro deadly, for the explosion
came without warning while tins men
were at work.
The Morenci team crossed bats with
the Lordsburgers last Sunday at Coro
nado Park and at the end of tho fifth
inning the game terminated, Morenci
having piled up 11 runs, while Lords
burg had a few less two. The run
getting was all in tho first two innings.
?;iy and Hollinger were tho Lordsburg
battery, while the Morenci battary
changed so often that space would not
suffice to enumerate. Hale did most of
tho pitching. The railroaders did not
have all of the regular team or the
game inight havo been mote than a
practice affair. The Morenci team is
getting ready for tho Hisbee trip, and
Manager Puckett is serenely confident
of the result, although ho does not say
very much. The team taken to Hisbee
wili probably )e stronger than the one
which defeated Hisbee at Clifton, but
when the Hisbeeites are on their own
grounds thev mav be harder to dispose
of.
Last Friday night some of the resi
dents of Morenci learned that though
your house bo on the hill-top you are
not always safe from danger of flood.
One of the large y,000 gal. tanks on the
top of the hill above the smelter let go
with disastrous and alarming results.
The accident happened about2:.'Wa.
in., and widely disturbed the slumbers
of many folks in the neighborhood.
Part of the water rushed down and
lliiitilml glwii'Miniin y wm' affile. 1 ne"
rooms were tilled to a deptn oi two
feet, and the furniture was sadly dam
aged. The rooms wero all occupied by
two persons, and in one room escape
from serious injury was very narrow.
Through the side of this room one of
the heavy tank staves was driven with
great force. The stick went through
between the beds, when if it had gone
three feet to either side it would have
struck one of the occupants of the
room. Three or four inehesof dirt was
deposited on the floor, and a wrath
provoking mess was made of things.
Bert, Karl and Harry Hastings, and V.
P. Hastings, Sr., live in a house about
ten feet from this tank. This house
was lifted bodily and carried about 15
feet. The old school house: was wreck
ed and carried over against Gordon
McLeans house, preventing the
water from striking that house
where it would have done much
more serious damage. 1 he Morenci
Church lost about all of their hvmn
books, and a removal to tho unfinished
building was enfused. Nothing was
left of tho tank but a mound of 'Frisco
mud. Work had already been com
menced on a large metal tank to be 2Í)
feet, 4 inches high and .'17 feet 8 inches
in diameter, ibis win hold nearly
2;4,000 gallons and it is expected to
have it ready by Saturday of this week.
It is remarkable that the amount of
water liberated last Friday night did
not do more damage. It created con
siderable excitement for a short time.
