War on Silver.

Notwithstanding the rcmonetiza. tion of silver was effected by more than two-thirds of both branches of Congress, there Is a manifest purpose among American bankers, some of the higher officials, and European influ- ences to degrade silver, in spite of the law, to an article of merchandise. Ii IS great pity that the law governing national banks does not compel a re- demptiUn of their notes in coin instead of lawful mOney-in other words, in greenbacks. If such were the law, these favored banks would not be found trying 10 defeat the operation of the silver act, but would be glad to have silver as an aid to specie payments. These banks are creatures of the Unit ed States laws, but when one of the nations laws does not please them, they array themselves against it. ThIs Congress should meet this repudia, tion spirit by an act either to close out this class of banks or compel them to redeem their notes in United States com.
 Arizona has q special interest in this subject, even though without power to materially affect it. Her chief product Is and always will be silver. Any act that will deprive this metal of the great function it has performed from time immemorial, is direct damage 10 Arizona's leading industry and pro- duction. Every influential word her people can utter in behalf of silver be- ing continued in law and practice n legal-tender, should be uttered. De- prive it of its money and legal-tender character, and it is at the same tune deprived of much of its marketable value. This is an important matter to all silver producing sections. and to noue of them of greater importance than to Arizona

Mormon Emigration to Arizona and ReS
 HeKico.

There is no longer any doubt of 6 purpose on the part of the MormOns to settle largely in Arizona and New Mexico. Whether such settlement has any political significaiion or not, we do not know; but Beaver City, Utah, correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, thinks there is a political object in it. November If, the correspondent says:
 Tonight. as I write, hundreds of families are upon the route to New Mexico and Arizona Hundreds of families have sacrificed their homes, left their friends, and tonight pitch their tents on these southern trails at the divine mandate of the Church.
 He goes on 10 point out the political purposes to be to control Arizona, New Mexico and Utah affairs in the in- terests of the Democratic party, provid- ed Utah is admitted as 6 state by the Democratic Senate and House dur ing the next Congress. There has been SO much unreliable guess. work about the Mormon movement south- ward, that we have no faith in any of It. The Mormons are doing good work in bringing Arizona soil under culti. vation, and so far have shown them selves good and useful citizens, and we believe they will continue 10 be such.

Paramount duty ofths Coming Legislature


 This is to locale the capital at Phe nix or Florence. We name Pheni, first simply because, if once there, i could hardly be removed again. Ever another huge fraud as that committed by Ysvapai in 1876, could not take tn, capital from Phenix. As population is now tending, Pima, Pinal snt Yuma could in few years, locate i at any point they would agree upon but these counties engaged in no fraud to get or retain the capital, and hay, no desire to keep il on wheels by the just power they will soon possess, noi even by the honest means they would now possess but for the Ysvapai frauds These counties want laws honestly and fairly enacted aud likewIse enforced Thus far every bill of much importance before the several legislatures, has been subject to the baleful influence ol the capital question. and, as the cap. Ital is now located, the same evIl in- fluence will continue. We did not in. tend to agitate this question at this time, but Yavapai is already pleading to be let alone in the possession of her i'll gotten advantage. This seems to argue that there Is an available majori- ty in both houses favorable to another removal, and the discussion points to Phenix as the unlucky place to re- move it-although owing to its central position, PhenIx may be able to per- manently retain it. Pima has had enough of capital. She long enough felt the humllIatiug position it compel led her to take to retain it while she did. She now enjoys seeing Yava- pal with this additional load to car ", especially as Pima is more rapidly increasing in wealth and population than any other county. But Pima wants the capital located where it will stay, and so far as we can learn it is her conviction that Pheuix is that place; she also wants the public busi- ness of the Territory to be transacted without reference to local squabbleS; i; she wants Legislation upon Its merits and not swayed by corruption; she and all other counties know that the capital struggle was not settled by change 10 Prescott. but that it may be settled by the proposed change.
 Should the members find upon as- sembling at Prescott that they cannot agree to remove the capital, they should wholly drop the subject for the session; but if they can agree. it ought to be the first bill passed and thus pre- vent the base and corrupting subject from influencing action on all bills of importance.

ITEMS from the Yuma Sentinel oI
 November 30:
 Three car loads of wool, from Tue son, were shipped from here last Mon
 day.
 An engineer and assistant engineer leave here to day to put up machinery lin Tombstone District.
 The recruits for Camp Grant march ed out of here on Wednesday.
 MT. David Neahr IS fast getting over his accident, though he is still on crutches. He has lately returned from his Picacho quartz-mill, which he re ports will be ready to drop stamps by January 1st.
 Mir. P. R. Fully of Tucson, expresses preference for having all freight con. signed to him hauled by teams from Yuma, until next Summer. without re- gard to progress made meanwhile by the railroad.
 The mail for the interior, of the Ter ritory averages 25OO pounds per day.
 Nearly ten thousand pounds of Sil yer King concentrations were brought in on Monday, by Buckalew & Ochoa's train, and shipped to San Francisco. Quinlin is due here tomorrow with I4,313 pounds, and Maldonsdo is due here next Friday with 5255 pounds.
 The author of Picturesque Ari- zona," E. Conklin, has been out here again. He spent several days taking photographic views of men and things al the railroad front. The first edition of his book IS all sold and he is al- ready making arrangements for getting out another of 10000 copies. He has secured & number of new pictures and proposes to make the new edition in many respects superior to the first.
 I" Superior to the first" will be no hard task. An author on Arizona who makes the Gila River run north and emerge into Salt river; who seriously speaks of wagon or ambulance as 8 thoroughbred one; who in referring to the changes in the Colorado river channel, says to-day this or that strip of land will be in Arizona; to-mor. TOW in California; today the river " would take sweep around a sectiOnI " of land upon which had settled some " thrifty farmer, cutting his farm in " two, taking part of his land over to |" Arizona, and the next day take the d rest of his land, house and all over " with it. One day he lives in Arizona, the next in California;" who repeats the old cock-and- bull stories, such as al priest sending out, after being seated at dinner, and procuring native silver from a mine and making of it dish for the same meal, and of certain having discovered this same mine (Tumacacori); who says tin has not yet been discovered in the United States; of calling the Central Pacific's Oakland wharf, "Meigg'S "-the latter being on the opposite side of the bay ;I and who makes many other equally ignorant remarks, and still more ina ginative ones; can, we think, easily make his second edition superior toI the first, and then not make a book of much worth or reliability. The people will welcome and applaud an author who will write and publish credit able book on Arizona-a kind of one not yet given 10 the public.-ED. CITI- ZEN.
