OUR KICKING MAUIIIKK.
, ,As this paper hits been buuleuod
with too much name we lmve changed
it to n moio Appropriate one, towit:
The Skyuqiit Kicker.
It will be true to its name, for wo
liavu been training it uutll iL will kick
higher, quicker, truer, hauler and
moro ol it than any, paper in the
West.
It will kick against deceit, fraud,
dishonesty, corruption, irumot tnlity,
monopolies, combines and extrava
gance It will kick for honesty, mor
ality, economy, home rulo and fur the
lights and freedom of tlio citizens of
Arizona, regardless of party or creed.
At this time wo shall not attempt to
oulliuo tho policy of this paper, fur
ther than to say that wo shall vigor
ously contend for u fair, honest and
economical admiuisttatiou of tcnito
tial, county and municipal affairs.
Wo shall freely and featlcssly ciiti
cizo tho rccotds of puhlio men and
the official acts of officers fumi the
highest to the lowest, regardless of
party, creed or favor, when, in our
judgniont, they deserve it, and oil tho
other band, we will as freely commend
when their acts merit it.
The kicking qualities of this paper
are unlimited, and it is regulated so
that the operator can register a light
kick, a hard kick, a high kick, a
moral kick, a religious kick, a politi
cal kick, or kick himself if the public
don't volunteer to kick him.
In order to obtain tho best tesults
from this kicking machine it is abso
lutely necessary for each individual,
be he lich or poor, high or low, red,
"yellow, black or white, Democtat, Re
publican, Topulist or Prohibitionist,
male or female, to put into our paws
f2.oU to gicase tho machine. "
Remember that we are tho only au
thorized agents for this paper to te
ceiro gifts, presents, donations and
dues, such as money, jewelry, bouds,
lands, grab and old clothes. If any
ouo over our fighting size desiics to

Phoenix can now boast of a Demo
cratic newspaper published within the
gatesof tho city entitled the Arizona
Democrat. It must, icel lonesome,
and certainly has nerve, and b'ackbono
to stand up for an honest and eco
nomical administration of tenitorial
affairs. Its criticisms of, the tell ltorlal
officials aro very sevete, but it 'tlio
facts as stated by it aro turn thoy 'ato
certainly Jjust.
Wiiile Prestdent McKlnloy is
studying how to free Cuba, ho might
bestow a small thought on tho poor
forsaken aud enslaved citizens of Ar
izona, and recommend that congress
pass a home rule bill" for the govern
ment of his countrymeu. Glvo Ati
zonians the right to elect her own
officers, and' tho offices will he llllcd
with honest citizens of Arizona, aud
tho carpetbaggers will retiio to ob-
curity where the belong.
AI'PKAIj to congress.
Congiess convenes uoxt month and
our delegate will, if truo to his con
stituents, urge the passago of tho bill
for tho admission of Arizona Jtato the
Union as a state. Every fair minded
person, legardlcss of party, will admit
that Ailzona is entitled to statehood.
It would bo tho greatest JniustW
that could ba inflicted upon white peo
plo to dcuy Arizona tho right of ad-
raisslon,btit' if it is done thon our
dofegato should push a bill for home
rulo, tso that the citizens of tho Tertl
tory could have n voice in tho selec
tion of tho tenltoflal officers.
Can congress turn n deaf ,car to
Aii.ona's appeal for homo ruloP Will
congress aid Cuba and foisako their
own countrymen P Wo aro not ready
to believe this, unless thoy nro dead to
humanity and aro deaf to the cry of
seventy thousand Atizonians for free
dom. While wo sympathize with Cuba
and all uations or people who are op
pressed, our deepest sympathy goes
out to our own people who ato enslaved
and ovcr-butdened whit taxes Imposed
by cxttavigant rulers not of their own
choosing and often not of their own
Terriloiy.
It is evident that the editors of the
I'rcscott Cornier and Journal-Miner
don't own any lots in I ho capitol addi
tion to tho city of Phoenix, for they
have made affidavits to that effect. It
i may bo that tho gang is selfish and
coueluded to "gobblo" tho entire
thing, as thoy weio tho fathers of the
swindle.
PitosrEiiiTY passed tin ough Arizona
in the iiight on the lightning express
and was only seeu by a very few who
were eating at Uncls Sam's pie coun
ter. Tho common people, the laborers
and tho taxpayers were denied n
gllmpso.
The Prcscolt Pick and Diill says:
"Governor McCoid has inaugurated
another reform which will piove a
good one." Wo never heaid tlio gov
ci nor accused before of being in the
reform business.
It is stated that Tom Reed, speaker
of tlio House of Representatives, dis
likes Maik Hanna. Well, llatma
must bo a great deal worse than he is
painted if Reed can't lovo liim.

Tho Santa Fe & Grand Canyon l ail
road company filed its at tides of in
eeipoiation with tho Secretary of Ar
zna on IheTolst of last July, with a
capital stock of $1,000,000. At a
special meeting of its stockholders

incessantly for the road. He repto
scnts Lombard, Goodo & Co., of
Chicago, and received a telcgiam
