the war; as rapidly as the national faith
will permit, the world knows that not for
the most widespread popularity at home
would it risk the plighted faith of the
Republic, or permit its credit to be at the
slightest hazard of dishonor.
No; the time has not yet arrived for its
exodus from power Still, as in the past,
it is so interviewer with the best interests
of the Republic that the triumphs and re-
verses of the one will be recorded by i'm
partial history as the triumphs and re-
verses of the other. Not based on tenn
porary popularity, like house built on
the shifting sands, it has been founded
on such grand principles of justice and
humanity that it is like house built on
a rock, against which the waves of op-
position dash powerless and in vain. 1t
| can correct all existing abuses, and es-
tabiish firmly and triumphantly all need
ed reforms 1t has ferreted out and pun
ished official dishonesty. 1t has already
reformed and elevated the civil service
from the debasement of past administra-
tion. 1t has, year after year, attested its
belief in practical revenue reform by
steadily diminishing the burdens of tax
alton. 1t has won the approval of mil
lions at home, as well as the respect of
nations abroad. And with debt lessening,
/
pering it has surely deserved the ap-
proval it has won.
There may be divisions as TO men
there may be weakening strifes and un-
fortunate alterations. But the party is
greater than its greatest men. Differ
ences among its millions there must be
but at that ballot-box, where American
voters exercise their national sovereignty,
they prove their devotion to principles
not by writing Republican" or "Demo-
crat" on their tickets, but by voting for
those who stand before the nation and the
world as the fairly chosen representatives
of the principles they profess. Without
stopping, however, to challenge the con-
scientiousness of any who may dissent
from this, there are some persons who
cannot afford to allow Republican ascend
ancy to be overthrown. The men of bust
ness and of property, who desire stability
and consequent prosperity, and do not
desire the chaos of reaction, cannot af-
ford it. The laboring man, whose inter
ests Republicanism has always protected
and whose wages it has sought to main
tain and advance, cannot afford it. But,
more than all, the humble and defenseless
millions of the South, who owe theil
emancipation and enfranchisemcnt to the
fact of Republican ascendency over the
bitterest opposition, cannot afford it. Or
its banner they see that trinity of princi
pies so priceless to them" Liberty fol
all, Justice for all, Protection for all ;
and, till they are assured of that protec
ton against all, neither they nor those
who care for them can afford to see its
banner furled in defeat.-N. Y. Independent

Mother Goose i'm Pfgeon-EngIish.

Will you please give me a corner,
SAYS a San Francisco correspondent of
Hearth and Home, to tell the boys and girls
the funny way my little brothers Chinese
nurse sings Mother Goose's melodies to
him: l know they'd laugh if they heard
him, but my little brother thinks it's splen-
did, and he understands it perfectly. /
guess the children can make out this song,
because they all know it in good English.
I'll tell them few words: Gallo in Pigeon
English means girl; bobbeTy means fuss,
commotion, or trouble, and eh0p-ctOp
means very quick. The RS are pronounced
like l. Pigeon-English is the language
that English and American merchants
have to speak in dealing with Cinnamon.
When the Chinese try to say business"
it sounds more like pigeon than anything
else, and that's what the name Pigeon
English comes from. It's just like sep
arate language, and some people here
speak it first-rate. Tn not sure that I've
got the blackbird song just right, but any
how, that's the way it sounds when Sin
Wing sings it. You ought to see him
bobbing his head and shaking his pigtail
at baby. He wears sort of brown shirt,
hanging loose outside his big trousers,
and his reddish-yellow hands coming out
of great big brown sleeves. Mamma said
yesterday that baby's bright little race
looking up from Sin Wings lap seems
just like ripe peach among lot of au-
tumn leaves. Now I'll write down the
song:
wING's SONG.
Singee soncee sick pence,
Pockee muchee rye;
Dozen two time blackee bird
Cookee in e pie
When him cut-ee topside
Birdee bobbery sing:
Himee tinkee nicey dish

Kingee in e talkee-room
Countee muchee money;

Chew-chew breadee honey.

A SPICY little anecdote is related in an
exchange of a well-known Methodist
preacher, who has received the aPpella-
ton of "Camp-meeting John" This
eccentric divine lives in Maine, but be-
slows his services in various sections of
the country as occasion demands. As We
happen to know him personally, We can
assure our readers that the following in
cident is entirely characteristic. A GER
tain presiding elder, who was noted for
being late at service, and seldom animat-
ed or brief, once kept congregation
waiting long time, and then preached a
prosy sermon of unusual length on the
text, Feed my lambs" He had not yet
finished, when "Camp-meeting John
rose from his seat in the congregation
and said: Brother, have had some ex-
perience in raising lambs myself, and /
have found the following rules absolutely
essential to successful Embarrassing: First,
give them their food in season; second,
give them little at a time; and third,
give it to them warm" No better advice
could be given to a minister, though the
time and place of offering it might be
more appropriately chosen.-HaTper's
Weekly.

THE PROUD DOLL.
BY GEORGE COOPER.


Oh she was a dolly so stuck up and proudl
Alone in her carriage she rode through the crowd
So vain Of her coachman and gay wooden nags,
She turned up her nose at the dolls made Of rags.
Her long curly hair was the color OF fax;
She walked, and she talked, and her face was of
wax;
And, when she went out every sunshiny day,
The rest of the dolls would get out of her way.
All ont on the carpet the toys were once spread,
Excepting the aby-dolls-they were in bed
When down came this proud doll to ride in the
park,
Where stood the tin soldiers and big Noah's ark.
So Crandly she went, with a sneer on her lip
When, all Of u sudden, the wheels gave tip,
And out on the floor, with a scream and bump,
Was tumbled Miss Finery all in q lumpI
A wonder it was that the child was not killed,
Her nose was unjointed, SONS sawdust was spilled
She's very meek now to the dolls, great and small
Since pride and she had such a terrible fall.

The Strength of the Republican Party

In 1868, the whole popular vote for
President was 5,716,7S8, of which Grant
received 3,013, 1888; Seymour, 2,703, 600
Grants majority, 309,58 1t appears
from these figures that four years ago
the Democratic party, with all its sins of
omission and commission, was powerful
organization, casting AZ 29-100 per cent.
of the popular vote of the country. Since
then it has doubtless greatly weakened in
numbers and force. The rapid extin-
guishment of the public debt, coupled
with system of gradual but large annual
decrease in the burden of taxation, has
produced such uneXampled prosperity to
every commercial and business interest
as greatly to stimulate confidence in the
wisdom and integrity of the Administra-
ton, and strengthen. the trust OF the
masses of the people in the Republican
party The continued retention of power
by that party is conclusive evidence that
the affairs of the nation are managed for
the best interests of the whole people.
Any wide divergence from judicious pol
icies, or want of integrity and wisdom in
the administration of the Government,
would speedily increase the present mi
nority into majority party, and wrest the
political control of the country from the
hands of the Republicans. The argu-
ments frequently used by the Liberals
that the Democracy is kept out of power
on account of its record during the rebel
lion is only partly true. Its record was
bad enough, and fastens stigma to the
name of the organization, but any serious
maladministration on the part of the Re-
publican party would cause numbers of
Republicans quickly to forget the past,
and, joining the ranks of the two and a
1,o1f ~f
store them to place and power. The fact
that the Republican party retains the con.
troll of affairs, through wise policy and
honest administration, renders individual
detection harmless. These defections and
apostacies even serve to strengthen the
| party, because the attacks of deserters are
always violent, generally ill-founded, and
| speedily react upon themselves. They in
variably deteriorate into ISLANDERS, and
instead of injuring, benefit the party
against which they are launched.
The Republican party was never so pow
erful as at present. Backed by an in
creasing majority of the people, its policy
amply vindicated by prosperity cock
tensive with the length and breath of the
land, it can afford to be aggressive
Pointing to a history of unexampled bril-
| liancy, and referring with satisfaction tc
| the present nigh toe OF wealth and nap
piness flowing in upon all classes of th'
people, it may well call to stragglers, re
calcitrants and deserters to return to thu
ranks, and, if they fail to do so, warI
them away from the Republican camp
fires. The existence of the Republican
party was once the sole bulwark of tn
Union-the only salvation of the republic
and of liberty. Its continuance in powe
is no less necessary now to the presen
and future prosperity of the nation thai
its existence in .vigor and strength wa
then prime necessity to the preservation
OF the Union.-Iilter-O Ocean.

port, and we look for greater activity in

THE Danbury Neaes says: "Many of
our readers will be glad to learn that
Baggage Master Simpson is recovering
from his late injuries. He was so much
better this morning as to be able to put
his foot through several bandboxes, and
the doctor thinks that in few days he
can try few light valises, and perhaps
one or two dressing-cases that have been
started little with an axe. But it will
be some time before he can hope to face
a full grown trunk"

Prospecting Party.

Preparations are now making for an extensive prospecting expedition along the southern boundary of the Territory. Some twenty citizens of Tucson have already decided to go, and others will if they can get away. It is we'll known by all old settlers here and others who have in any way examined the country, that most ex- tensive mines of silver, lead, &c. abound along our southern border, and the country itself Is of most desira ble character for permanent homes. Grass, water and timber are each and all plentiful. The railway prospects make it necessary for men to be nov ing earnestly and soon, if they would possess themselves of valuable landed or timber or mining property without other cost than time and provisions. All who would join this expedition, should be prepared with transporta- ton and not less than four to six weeks provisions. For details of time of starting, outfit, route of exploration, &c, we would refer all interested to G. H. Oury Esq, at Tucson, either by letter or in person.

It Is from one who is in position that enables him to keep posted respecting the doings of railroad men. The letter from which the extract is made is dated at Wash ington, February 26:
 I have just seen MT. Scott. The road will be made with great rapidity, and San Diego will be point. He thinks it best to commence at Fort Yuma and work both ways, and may not commence at San Diego until he gets we'll under way from these points. You may depend on the road being done within three years.

THE Eastern papers say that the letter of the Secretary of the Interior on Colyer, which we publish elsewhere, was given to the press by that fanatic. One would have supposed that he would not have made public docu- ment so pointed and damaging to himself, but in so doing he has only further illustrated his fool element.

PERSONAL. Saturday Chief Justice John Titus left Tucson for Philadelphia, Penn., via New Mexico, in company with MT. Estevan Ochoa. He has been con- stantly on duty here for nearly three years, but for almost two years past has been in indifferent health, and it was his physicians opinion that he should avoid the ensuing Summers heat, if he would continue to recuperate as he has during the past few months. As a health meas ure, he decided to take a slow trip with a freight train to Kit Carson, and thence by railway. As we have often said before, Judge Titus is great, good and honest man and Judge. We doubt if he has a living superior in the points of moral and physical bravery. What it is necessary for him to do as man or Judge, he does fear lessly. When convinced of the correct ness of a position in law and justice. no human power can make him occupy an- other. We sincerely trust his journey will give him that health and recreation he so much needs, and that he will return, as he anticipates, early next Fall.
 James E. Baker, Deputy Collector of Customs at this post for some two years, left for Illinois via California, on the stage last Saturday. He did not intend to leave until Summer, but for the last two months his health declined so rapidly that it WAS clearly his only remcdyt to get away. Mrs. Baker, expecting her husband would re- main as stated, left early in January Her departure was deeply regretted, for truer and better woman and neighbor has not an earthly existence. Mr. Bakers admin istration of the Custom House affairs. was uneXceptionably thorough and upright. We know he had inducements held out for more desirable position in the Gus toms service, but his attachment is greater for private than public pursuits In all his public and private duties, he is a man of rare prOmptness and correctness, and although he eXacts the same action of those with whom he deals, his spirit of accommodation is liberal and even gener- ous to those who in his opinion merit gen. erous treatment Although he was not welded to the country and will probably Inever return to it, he carries with him the good wishes of nearly everyone who knew him in Arizona

PETER KITCHEN gives @ report to the effect that Dr. Edward Phelps, of some unsavory notoriety in Ari- zona, was killed on his way to the city of Mexico. The report states that in his usual pompous way, Phelps made liberal display of cash just prior to leaving Pacific port, and that he was followed and murder ed. This may be false rumor, but if confirmed as true, few here will be surprised or invest in much crape.

EARLY this week, Manuela Bosel became ill She had called one Dr. Jacinto Gierdo, who did his work so thoroughly that the woman died on Wednesday. Suspicious of false treatment led to post-mortem examination of the body, under direction of Coroner Thayer and jury assisted by Dr. Handy, and the verdict was that death was caused by palpable malpractice. Upon this warrant was issued, the Doctor brought before Justice Meyers, who eX- amined the case and found cause to con- init him to jail in default of S2,00O bail Unless something hereafter appears to dis credit the testimony given, Dr. Gierdo is surely dangerous man as physician, and nothing but the charitable plea of in sanity ought to shield him from severe punishment, and in such event, he should be deprived of his liberty to prevent others falling victims to his practice. The country is too full of sane quacks, and thousands of people suffera long life from their criminal work.
