l can paper up to 1901, and for about twenty years was edited and owned by the late Herbert Brown. In that year MT. Brown sold the paper to John H. Behan, Charles M. Shannon and O'Brien Moore they were demo-
 crats and the paper was made a
 democratic organ with O'Brien
 Moore it's editor. In March, 191,
 the Arizona Citizen was purchased
 by J. T. Williams and A. B. Jaynes, and once more became a staunch republican newspaper.
 The fourth newspaper started in Arizona was the Arizona Sentinel at Yuma. The plant was owned by James M. Barney and Judge Wm. J. Berry was the editor The Sentinel was started in November, 1870. In 1875 J. M. Barney sold the plant to John ". Darlington. It was republi- can in politics from start to finish MT. Darlington sold the old Sentinel in 1911 to w. H. Shorey, owner of the Yuma Examiner, with which pa per it was consolidated by Mr. Shorey
 The Phoenix Herald was established by the McClintOck BrotherS-Charles and Jemes-in 1878; after the death of Chs rles it fell into the hands of N. O. Morford, who was the. owner and editor up to 1898, when it was bought by the Arizona Republican, and most of the material went to the

Akers and H. R. Tritle; it is pub lished six times per week, and in politics it is an old line Jeffersonian democrat
 The Arizona Republican was found- ed by Governor Wolfley in 1890, and is the only daily newspaper published in the state of Arizona up to the present time. MT. Sims Ely edited The Republican for many years, and is one of the most talented and classical writers in Arizona. The Re- publican is now owned by Hon. Dwight B. Heard and associates; Billy Si ar is the editori in chief of the paper; it's present politics is in dependent progressive-the party to win out in 1916.
 Arizona has a large 'boneyard" of defunct newspapers. Among the number which flourished for a time are the following:
 The Flagstaff Flag, by Col. Harry Reed; the Flagstaff Champion, by George w. Tinker; the Flagstaff Gem; the Arizona Pioneer, at St. Johns; the Apache News, at St. Johns; the St. Johns Snipps; the Mojave County Miner, at Mineral Park; the Arizona Methodist at Tue son; the Livestock Joul nal at Tucson; the Enterprise at Prescott; the Dem ocrat at Prescott: the Enterprise first published at Florence and then removed to Tucson; the Arizonan at

MODEL FARM With several OF
our friends, we had the pleasure a
few days since of visiting the
farm of our townsman Mr.. j. F. G.
DuI're, and seeing some fine sreci-
mems, agricultural and horticultu-
ral-vegetable and animal-of his
skill as a farmer. We saw some
five or six acres Of cotton-thc
Boyd Proli6c-which promise
bafo to the acre at least-a second
crop of corn, about'waist high on
land which had grown a crop o1
whcat-thS largest of tomatoes,
bects and Irish potatocs-some
rare specimens Of poultry and las'
but not least, some porkers which
though. not more than eight
months old will weigh hear 800 lb'
each. Can any of our friends bca
this?
We saw here a curiosity, in tho
shape of six tomatoes growing
from the same bud, weighing to
gethor some six pounds.

peaceful and legal means-through
the forms prescribed by the Consti-
tuition itself: This indeed is to nc
cept the. situation, but il; is to dis
card no principle, to prove recreant
to no trust, and to abate no effort
in the way Of legal and Constitu-
tioual reform. To accept the stu
alton is to sanction no present
abuse, nor pledge anything for the
future, but to abstain from forcibfe
and revolutionary reform. And
to this we think: all good citizens
may we'll give in their adhe-
sion.
"This wise and noble policy,
says the writer, made our past his
tory illustrious; twill not bear any
LESS benefccnt fruits in the future.
1t will give greater confidence to
lust and reasonable men who desire
release from Radical leadership,
and will rehder Democratic anu
Conservative success in 1872 GER
tain. 1t will impose humiliation
upon nobody, and it will require OF
none distastelul athliatlon in politi-
cal action. 1t will most cfectuall y
facilitate cooperation amongst
good men all over the coun-
try in their efforts to relieve it from
Its present thraldom, to inaugurate
reform, secure obedience to the
Constitution, and re-establish peace
amity, and prosperity everywhere.
These ends are precious and price,
less, and transcend in importance
all considerations of personal or
mere party character:
r feel most confident that wise
and sagacious management on our
part will guarantee the complete
triumph OF correct principles in
1872, and will again restore our
country to the practical control of
honest, capable, and worthy men.
The welfare and happiness Of the
country demand, and the Demo
cratic party most earnestly desire
that all traces of the late civil war
should be eradicated ms speedily as
possible from the hearts OF the peo-
ple. But radical leaders want no
such condition. 1t has been with
in their power to establish it dur
ing the last six years. They never
will accomPlishit. Their conduct
aud principles Inevitably beget en-
nifty, estfangement, and discord.
The :country's only hope is in a
change Of rulers.

RELIGIOUS.

The congregation ofTrinity Church,
had the pleasure on Sunday last OF
hearing two excellent discourscs from
the Rev Ellison Capers, Rector OF Grace
Church, Greenville. Mr.. Capers is o
pleasing speaker, with q fine presence
sweet voice, and easy and flowing
style, giving full expression alike to
thought and emotion. 1t is this un'
ion of the intellectual and emotional,
which constitutes tho charm Of the
speakers delivery, 4xing the atten-
ton and commanding the sympathles
of an audience. Tho theme of the
mornings discourse, was 'the kel'. :.
zion of Common Life" illustrated
and enforced by many stri@ing
thoughts, drawn Us well from the
constitution of our. own nature and
its surroundings, us from the attributes
Of the Divine Charactcr, aud tho oP'
erations of the Divine. Government. 1t
Mas q well-considcred discourse illus
trating those common duties, and
enforcing those everyday obligations
which press upon us all. Tho even
iny's discourse presented for the Gu
couragemcnt Of the young disciple
the example of Cornelius, and exhib'
tied the Divine acceptance of his i'm
perfect "alms and oblatiors," as tho
true solace amid his doubts and mis-
givings. The discourscs were both
very suggestive and eminently prac-
tical.

AN ABSOLUTE SURRENDER

between us, the election bill and the

in the Presidents hands every Legal
power that any man who had tbs
will could desire to raise himself to
empire. You look surprised, but it is
is literally and precisely as say'
Control over tho army to regulate
elections, and absolute :power to i'm

harm in this, and regard it merely al
a proper exercise of delegated power

Tha New York Riots and the Fall
Election.


tho effect of the recent Now York
riots will DO worry damaging to Dem
ocratic success in the next elections,
since they have furnished the Rerub-
lican press with tho argument "there
lis no safety for equal rights in tho
United States SO long US Tammany
Hall holds the city aud State of New
York and aspircs to the Presidency,
through her local Irish Catholic bal-
ance of power" -:
"Thercsult of the State election Of
August in Kentucky will undoubted-
|ly be a democratic victory but, in
the general estimate, Kentucky is Of
little consequence, because from her
overwhelming democratic majority
she is never in doubt. In September
we have the Vermont and Maine clec.
ltions, and while Vermont, like Ken
lucky, may be compared to the han
die Of juS-'all on one sidc"-thc
fluctuations of the popular vote in
NJ aine from year to year are sufficient
ly uncertain to be held as indicating
the general current of public opinion
throughout the country.
In October, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana come to tho front; and the
election in these great States, on the
verge of 4 Presidential campaign,
are always of commanding impor-
tance. Ohio-a State which has been
Overwhelmingly republican-has be-
come debateaUlc ground; Pcnrsyl'
vania is subject to astonishing huc'
tuations, and Indiana is very close
In 1867 all three Of these States were
substantially carried by the dehocra'
!, cy, although in Ohio they lost the
Governor. This year, from tho dis
, sensions, discords and apathy among
;, the republicans, there was fine opcn:
ing for u Democratic victory in Penn
syIyalia. In Ohio the probabilities
/ were clearly against them, while IN
Indiana tho chances were in thcil
favor. Unqucstlonably, if the Dem
