THE QUESTION OF THE COLOR LINE.
Among the less influential and more loquacions of
the delegates there is great dead of plain talk about
the necessity of maintaining the color line"
why don't you attempt to break down the color
line by trying to get of the coored voters into
your own party !" asked the correspondent of THE
TRIBUNE of delegate from one of the "black
counties" last evening.
"Oh, that would never do. If we should admit
colored delegates TO conventions, it would not
be very long before they would begin to presume
their rights, and in counties where they have ma
iorty they would soon attempt to dictate not only
who should hold Office but what should be the
policy of the party. What they want is social equal
ity aud it Is that against which fighting and
against which we shall continue to fight No. we
must keepup the color line and on that issue
is OF little consequence compa ed with that issue.
There was much more to the same effect, showing
that this sobery believed that if the negro
should be allowed freely to his political
rights, his next demand would be mixed schools for
the education of his children and his succeeding de-
mand white woman for a wife,

ARIzoNA's WEALTH.
TIucsna Cittzsn.l


 The mineral resources of the Territory oi Arizona are sofnewhat marvellous The de velopments being made show such an abund. ance of gold and silver ore as has been never dreamed of before. Even those who have always felt full confidence i'll the mineral outcome of our Territory are as,onished al the numerous wonderful developments being made. Yet the present condition of the prospective value of our resources IS still in Is infancy. But fracti n of the mineral bearing portions of Arizona has as yet been pruapected, and thousands of mines are t. be discovered that viii yield an abundance of wealth to the world, equal to the best. In Northern Arizona there are large stretches of country yet untroddeu by the foot of civ i.ized man, that are undoubtedly as well sup piled with mineral leads as the best yet found As the country Is settled up, the daring pros psctor will find his way into the unexplored hills and reap the rich reward of wealth there awaiting him. Even about the most developed portion of our Territory but a small portion of the mineral leads Jf great value has been discovered. ani the advanc- ing years will bring new developments as startling as s1ale of the present ones- There is practically no limit to the mineral re- sources of Arizona, and the rule that its mines increase in value the deeper they are developed surrounds our resources with d confluence in their permanence that will bring ready capital to our doors, seeking in- yestment in mines. Time will show that better field for profitable mining exists in Arizona than in Sonora, and the mistake of precipitate investments in the latter State will soon react in favor of our own Territo- Y, and legitimate boom of prosperity will be felt throughout the whole country.
