liz CohIiuScuCy Will metuUtF VI congress
be called upon to act in reference to it, and
It's introduction here has all the appearance
OF an effort to draw the popular mind away
from the practical, paramount issue to be
considered. While we believe there is equi-
ty and justice in the claim for re-adjust-
ment OF the public debt of Virginia, and
earnestly support the Public Free School
System, we regard the question of national
finance as the one that properly and practi-
cally belongs to the canvass. In Bringing
these local State questions to the front.
which are not practical, and claiming that
they should overshadow one that IS practi-
cal, re-adjusters and the friends of the Pub
lie Schools do themselves and their cause in
justice. 1t smacks strongly of fanatica
demagoguery, and it cannot be expected of
those who look upon such efforts in that
light, that they will follow such delusive
counsel. Many gentlemen agree with us on
both the State and National issues to which
we have alluded. Some Of them, however,
make the practical National question subor-
dinate to the Irrelevant State question, and
because they differ with Gen. Echols on the
State question, oppose him, although they
agree with him on the National question:
They differ with Capt. Paul and Judge Har-
ris on the National finance issue, but sup
port one or the other because of their views
on the State debt question. There is time /!
and place for all things, and to make para
policy or question in controversy |
where it has no practical association, to the
exclusion of one which is practically perth
nent,is both illogical and irrational. We sup
ported the ideas of readjustment and the
Public Schools upon their merits. We have
them as best we knew how, to the
ind that the people might be informed. We
10 not propose. however, to run them into
anaticism; and those who do will find that
hey will arouse suspicion as to their SINGER
ty, and flush doubts as to the motives

We are sure it would be to the mutual inter.
est of creditor and debtor, and that unless
some arrangement is made by which an adj
justment is effected, certain ruin must come
upon Virginia. We are now losing more
by the exhibit we are compelled to make
OF our condition than the necessary increase
of taxation to meet the whole of the debt
would amount to, and self-interest, if no
other consideration, should impel an earn
est and determined effort to bring about an
arrangement with the creditors at the next
meeting of the Legislature.
Gen. Echols would net stubbornly insist
upon the precise terms mentioned in his
speeches, Mutual concessions on the part
of the different factions in the Legislature,
and an honest, earnest, unselfish effort to
reach solution would effect the desired re-
suit, for we are sure the creditors, as prac-
tical, sensible men, would see that it would
be to their interest to make an arrangement,
by which the question would be taken out
ofpolitics, agitation cease, and their securities
enhance in value, thesinterest paid prompt
ay, ard the State go on to prosper and
develop under the stimulus such settlement
would inspire. The people must come down
to serious, earnest thought about this mat |
ter. it cannot be trifled with longer. 1t is
virtual paralysis, it not death to do so. Our
many natural attractions are overlooked
in contemplating the deplorable condition of
our finances, and the ruined credit we are
inflicted with. Bold, determined leadership,
moved by an earnest love and concern for
must come to the rescue; and the
iebt issue cease to be hobby for designing
men to ride into position on. We must have

luck.

The following paragraph which ap
 peared in the Helena (MontanaJ Herald
 will be read by many an Arizona
 miner with sigh of relief and many
 hearts will beat with new hope, hop. ing for another Whitewash mine. The
 Herald says the Leadville mining dis trict has a prospective millionaire in a late poverty-stricken miner who tramp ed into that camp without a copper in his pocket, and has now an income of S2OOO a day. He began to dig in Tyn- dall Hill, and three feet below the sur face he struck a rotten chalky sub stance that formed the entire emin- ence. Everybody laughed at the beg gar, and derisively called his find ' Bassick's Whitewash Mine" But Bassick found the stuff rich in carbon ate of lead carrying silver, and, digging down, found boulders and pebbles that were coated with silver chloride. From .he surface down 200 feet the mine las paid richer than any other in the country, yielding thus far $64,OOO al month.

Friendship.

A true friendship costs something
 but it is worth all it costs. In consent
 ing to have friend, or to be friend, one takes upon himself added respon- slbilitIes of sorrow and pain as well as of joy and comfort. "A friend should bear friends infrmities." A true friend does share every burden of "a friend, which he cannot lift or light en. His thought is ever of what he can give or do as friend, not of what he can receive or have done for him. In fact, what we are ready to do for a friend, not what we expect of friend, | Is the measure of both the strength and the value of our friendship. Nor is there any limit-save that of duty and our friends need-to the sacrifices We are ready to make for a friend if our friendship is worthy of its name. It is because the cost of friendship is so great that the realization of friend ship IS so rare.
 " All like the purchase; few the price will And this makes friends such miracles
 below"
 But a pure and wise friendship has value beyond its utmost cost No life can reach it's fullest measure of enjoyment of usefulness without al friend. He who has made the acqui- sition of a judicious and sympathiz- ing friend may be said to have doubled his mental resources"
 Much has been justly said of the advantage to man of the friendship of true and noble woman. One writ CT Is sure that "a woman, if she be really your friend, will have sensitive, regard for your character, honor and rePute," and because of her possession of subtle delicacy of tact and plain soundness of judgment, which are rarely combined to an equal de- gree ln man," she will counsel you more prudently than can any of your male friends. So many and so obvious are the benefits of friendships, that the words of Cicero are as true today as nineteen centuries ago, friendship is he only thing in the world concern ng the usefulness of which all man. I iind are agreed"

THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY., NOVEMBER 9. 1878.
Coy. Hoyt Interviewed.

Ex-Gov. J. P. Hoyt, when he reached San Francisco, was enmeshed by the willy reporter, to whom he talked as follows:
 II think" said the Governor, that the fears of the Mormons gaining DO. lltical influence in Arizona are rather premature They may have such de signs, but they keep very quiet about them. There are not so many Nor mons in Arizona either as is generally supposed. There are probably two dozen families around Phenix, in the Salt River country, and perhaps pop Iulation of 500 souls in three settlements near the headwaters of the Colorado River, in Yavapai county. These lat ter will run delegate for the Territo- rial Legislature (Hatch); but If he IS elected it will be on suferance of the Gentiles, who are rather disposed to concede something to them as an in- dustrions and thrifty people"
 Do they practice polygamy?"
 "They say not, but it is generally believed that Lot Smith, who is Mor- mon leader in Arizona, and others prominent in the settlements, have a plurality of wives. But they keep their reserve stock at home in Utah, and live with only one wife in Arizona"
 Are the reports about the restless mess of the Pima and Maricopa Indi- ans true?"
 "They are more or less uneasy, but II don't apprehend trouble unless star vation drives them into it. They are so situated upon their reservation that they cannot raise crops without irri- gation, and the white settlers who are above on the Glla consume all the wa ter before it reaches them. This Is making them restlve and may ultimate lly cause trouble. The Government ought to look after them and see to it that they do not get into straight for food, for in that event they might do serious mischief"
 "Is there any disposition 10 crowd them off their Reservation
 Well, human cupidiiy is the same all over the world, and suppose that there are whites who are looking en- lviously upon their land, for the bottom land along the Gila is very rich in the neighborhOod of the Pima villages, and with water is extremely product | i've"
 "HOw are the mines doing?"
 "Those recently discovered in the southeastern portion of the Territory are very promising, and if the surface indications hold out there will be some extraordinary bonanzas. They are chiefly silver. The districts are known as Tombstone, Patagonia and Wash ington. The Pinal mines are also hold Ing out well, and promise to realize the Isanguine expectations of those located there"
 Then you believe in the mineral wealth of Arizona?"
 Ut is undoubtedly the richest min eral country on this coast. It is a good thing, too, that it is, for it would not be of much use for any other purpose than extracting ores"
 "What are the railroad prospects? ?"
 "The Southern Pacific means to push ahead. At least there is every sign of sylnh intention I nRderstand all the preparations are made to at once construct TO miles of road out from Yuma City, which would carry it to MaricOpa Wells. This would be far enough to make the mines easily ac- cessible, while it would not actually tap them"

The Responsive Chord.

In the early spring of 1883, when the Confederate and Federal armies were confronting each other on the opposite hills of Stafford and Spottsylvania, two bands chanced, one evening 10 dis course sweet music on either bank of the river. A large crowd of soldiers of both armies gathered to listen to the music, the friendly pickets not in- terfering, and soon the bands began to answer each other. First the band on the northern bank would play Star Spangled Banner" " Hail Columbia" or some other national air, and at its conclusion the boys in blue would cheer most lustily. And then the band on the southern bank would respond with Dixie" or Bonnie Blue Flag" or some other Southern melody, and the boys III gray" would attest their appreciation with an old Confederate yell" But presently one of the bands struck up, in sweet and plaintive notes which were waited across the beautiful Rappahannock, were caught up at once by the other hand and swelled into a grand anthem which touched every heart, Home, Sweet Home" At the conclusion of this piece, there went up simultaneous shout from both sides of the river-cheer followed cheer, and tnOso niiIs, wnlcn mad so recently re- sounded with hostile guns, echoed and re-echoed the glad acclaim. A chord had been struck responsive to which the hearts of enemies-enemies then could beat in unison; and, on both sides of the river:
 Something down the soldiers cheek,
 Washed of the stains of powder.

The Golden Star Mine.

The Golden Star mill, at Cave Creek commenced operations last Monday, and has proved a perfect success in every respect. They are now running on quartz, and the amalgam showing on the plates give promise of success beyond the most sanguine expectations of those in charge. The Frue tables work to a charm, and are simply the greatest thing ever introduced in gold mill, saving in one days run a ton of concentrations, which is sufficient to pay the total cost of mining and mill ing.

How be Stood m California.

The following is from the South Coast. published at San Louis Obispo, California, where J. M. Kirkpatrick, Councilman elect, lived before coming to Arizona:
 According to the ARIZONA CITIZEN of October I9, J. NJ. Kirkpatrick of Gro Blanco, and M. ". Stewart of Camp Grant, were nominated by a meeting of citizens of Pima county, held at the Courthouse, in Tucson, October IS, 1878, to represent said county in the Territorial Senate. MT. Stewart we do not know, and, of course, can have no opinion as to his ability to represent his county; but we believe from the fact of Capt. Kirk patrick's nomination, that the people in selecting their representatives have chosen wisely and well. When men like Kirkpatrick are nominated, we are willing to endorse the action of the convention, and to "go the whole ticket"
 Capt. Kirkpatrick is one of the best LuCA dLuOuS bhS AANNS- trial ana producing classes that we have eyer met; and he would scorn to represent any other class than that to which he belongs. He is live man, is well up in the political economy Of the country, is earnest In all things, is a strong and ardent law and order man, and was never known 10 miss point when in the pursuit of an ob- ject. Our readers will remember his stirring speeches here through this State two years ago; they were deliv- cred in his own plain, common sense style and language; style and Ian guage understood and appreciated by every honest man who heard him. They were bold, strong and truthful, and in every way worthy of the noble heart which prompted their utterance. We heartily congratulate the people of Pima in their choice of Capt. Kirk patrick.

GENERAL SHERMAN was recently in Arizona. At Prescott the citizens gave him ball, every one who subscribed S1O being entitled to admission. An army officer, who was one of the three or four hundred, says that "in the midst of the joyous dance a miner, a hardy son of toll, with unkempt hair, soiled face and hands, and the usual miners outfit, trousers in his boots, in shirt sleeves, a belt filled with cart ridges, pistol and knife, approached d the entrance door and said to the at tendant: See here, my friend, how much does it cost to get into this lay out? Ten dollars replied the at tendant. Does that give feller the right to go in and shake hands with General Sherman" Certainly was the reply. Ten dollars goes said the miner, and handing the attendant a ten-dollar bill he entered the ball room. He wended his way carefully through the crowd, avoiding the ladies' trains as dettly as could have done one of your famous German leaders, approach ed the General and said: General Sherman, l merely want to shake your hand. l fought under you in the march to the sea- and turned and left the room immediately" y."-Territoria En. terprise.
