PARTY LINES.

For years the Democrats have been talk ;no about organizing. Conventions have been held, caucusing, button-holeing, ana
 counseling indulged in, and still theIr labors have been futile. For the last Is months, the Leonard Mitchell Campbell party, of Prescott, who were never at any one time able to enlist twenty Democrats ID their noble cause, have been appealing to the unterrifed and asking for an organization. Tine more knowing Democrats have weighed the matter of organizing and after careful investigation refused to join the anxious would-be martyrs in the cause of Democracy, knowing full well that in organizing their cause WAS a lost one, simply because the Territory is Republican by large majority. A Democrat, through taIr or foul means. through the votes of Democrats and Repub- licaus, claims ts have received majority suf- ficient to entitle him to seat in the halls of Congress, and now intimates that here after, all county offices shall be filled by Dem- ocrats. Hal hal The Republicans, through their magnanimity have allowed the greater part of the offices, whether elective or by ap- pointment, to be filled by Democrats. Whether they will continue to do so in the future we question very much since we are threatend with annihilation. The Repub- publicans are certainly in the majority in this County, and whenever they determine that party lines shall be drawn, an organi- zation will be effected without difficulty, and in solid manner. The Republicans care not for the threats of the Democracy, but will compel the other side, which has ever been unable to effect an organization, to do SC, or come over and be Republicans, for they are determined to organize, and never submit more to be parties to scrub racing for any office whatsoever.

Large Shipment of Silver.

Twenty-one thousand dollars in silver bullion from the Tiptop mine in this coun. ty, tue result of twelve days run, was taken to Phenix this week by Superinten- dent Webber, and shipped to San Francisco The company have their mine pretty thoroughly prospected, beng down 400 feet, and several tunnels running in on the lode, one of which is six hundred feet in length. The whole property shows excel lent ore and from the rich chlorides being taken from the bottom of the 400 foot level and judging from the shipment of bullion just made. we believe the Tiptop mine will soon stand at the head of the list of all sil- yer bonanzas on the Pacific Coast.

ROAD MATTERs.-Among the most i'm nortant matters which the next Legislature will have to consider, the County roads de- mand foremost place. One thing is cer- tam. the County of Yavapai will have to but up some more money for the extension of the Prescott and Bradshaw Road to the Tiger mines, andsfor the widening and general improvement of the same, so Tar as it is at present constructed. oriose the wnoie amount already expended-some $35,000. The question has reached this point, and the people of the County should thorough Iy understand it. The road to the mines is a necessity, and the people of Prescott know this we'll. We think the taxpayers of the County, like sensible men, will arrive at the conclusion that it Is better policy to extend and repair the road, than throw away the whole amount already paid.

The Zuni Indians have raised this season a large crop of corn, and the yield was ey- cellent. They have also had good luck with their peach crops, the yield being large. The peach orchard of the Zunis is located on the South side of quite noun tain, and the earth is composed of pecu- liar white sand that seems to hold the mois- ture and keep the peach forest thrifty, and iHsures good yield of fruit almost every season. Two hundred years ago these h. dians were church going and believing people and so continued to the present 18th century, when they dispensed with reli- gieus teachers, and turned their temple of worsh:p into stables and goat pens. They claim to be closely related to the Ameri- cans, but disclaim all nes of kindred with the Mexicans.

Kearney is coming back. We are glad of it. The sand lots were getting horribly monotonous. We long to hear Kearney call our plotting capitalists ''hellbound william and ".echerous bond holders" We hope the tieas on the sand lots will preserve decorum when Kearney returns and speaks, and not always get directly in the middle of his back.

RICH ORE FROM ARizoNA-A. C. Hesing, President of the Illinois Staats Zeitung, the largest and most influential newspaper of the Wesr, returned from Arizona last Mon day, where he has been sojourning for the last two months. examining the great min ing interests of that Territory. MT. Hesing secured about twenty mines, some of which promise to surpass everything yet discov- cred. He brought piece of ore, weigh ing 116 pounds, from the Julius mine; Globe District, Arizona, which is estimated to be worth S7 to the pound, and IS now exhibited in the office of the Alta Cali fornia. Mir Hesipg describes the Terri tory as of immense mineral wealth, and Is now on his way back to Chicago to organize a syndicate with ample capital to develop the mines he has acquired, and Is already negotiating for the necessary machinery to commence work ct once. The plece of ore above referred to is one of the richest and most remarkable specimens we have ever seen, and has been taken from the mine at a depth of twenty feet, the mine promising to become one of the richest bonanzas of the Territory Alta.

r.. s.anaara Silver Dollar.

If is now recommended that the weight of fine Standard Silver Dcllar be increased, or its coinage diminished. We say by all means let 1t be the latter, as the Govern mcnt wholly regulates the coinage, deriving whatever profit there may be from the same; ie; There can be no fixed weight that wili make dollars of silver and gold co-equai Tn commercial value, so there can be no actual maintenance of double standard of values It is useless to argue that the silver pro, ducing interest IS to De greatly benehteo by the Silver dollar coinage in the endeavor 10 serve certain political enos. We were positively assured that the price of silver would steadily advance immediately after the passage of the Silver bill. What was the actual result! Why silver, instead of approaching, really went from o5d per ounce in London to 49d. We do not of course attribute this heavy decline ts the decree of Congress that silver dollar should be placed on an equality with gold dollar, hut it does imply that any amount of Congressional tinkering will not make the two dollars co-equal in value.

EFFORTS TO SECURE PROTECTION FOR
HER SHIPPING.
WAsHINoToN, Feb. 10,-The critical
condition OF affairs in England upon the
Eastern question has occasioned deep
concern respecting the possible effects
upon British commerce OF warlike oper-
ations. An effort is now being made,
through British influence, 10 secure such
a modification of our navigation laws as
would enable British shipowners TO Sc
cure fictitious American ownership, SO
that their vast shipping would be pro-
tected from the risks and casualties of
war by the American flag. BY this
means they hope to retain the supremacy
of the commerce. The tariff bill now
pending in the Committee of Ways and
Means practically repeals the navigation
laws, and if passed would greatly aid in
the transfer OF vessels to the American
flag. 1t is believed il would aid to Sc
cure to our people TINT commercial ac-
tivity which was lost 10 ms through a
similar policy by the British government
during our civil war.
