maintained. Internal revenues should be abolished; the necessity which cx- isted for its establishment had long since passed away and its further con tlnuance was an unnecessary burden on the people. The Government is in danger from the present corrupt and wanton administration.
 The speaker then went on to show the inconsistency of the Republicans in connection with the tariff on wool He said he had been large buyer of wool Tn thls Territory, and claimed to know something about the question at issue. Several years ago the eastern buyers had formed pool to bear wool and by agltating through Con gross the tariff question, and by re- iusing to buy, the price of wool was forced down four cents. After having bought up all the wool in the coun- try at the reduced price, these same parties then memoiialized Congress to let the tariff question alone as the agitation injured their business. By the speedy recovery in prices which followed, they reaped immense profits. These are the same men who arc to. day accusing the Democratic party of being free traders, and are irving to influence voters against Cleveland. He cited another instance of tariff

4. c. OLIVER, OUR CANDIDATE FOR
 SUPERVISOR.

StI hoohs
 The name that heads this article is
 that of man who, during four years
 residence in Arizona, has won for
 himself reputation as one of those
 substantial, wide.awake business men,
 who are truly essential to ,he solidity, growth and prosperity of young
 Territory like ours. In the year 1862
 he came to California, young man,
 full of energy, hope and business in
 cllnation, and launched on the sea oi life with a determination to win. For sixteen years he toiled in the Golden State, and by careful business sagacity gained a sufficient competency to en. able him to battle with lie more easily, ana at the end of that time, the re-
 ports coming to him of the prospect, i've wealth and business expectations of the territory of Arizona, he made his way hither, and, although a stran- ger at his coming, to-day stands a peer among the business men of our prosperous country, one whose sue cess, wholly won by careful manage ment, stamps him as one of the lead- ing citizens of our county and Terri tory. The large mercantile and for warding business he has carried on al Ash Fork, wherein he has constantly held the confidence and esteem of all men with whom he has been connect ed Tn business way, added to his ex- perience in California, ranks him as just the man to place at the head oi the finances of our county, one whose broad, comprehensible views will be a lasting benefit to Yavapai in having voice in the county board. So long a resident of the county, and having traversed its borders to and from ali points, no one knows our wants more accurately, and can provide means to allay inconveniences to residents of the country around. The lack Of business experience among those who have and are now holding the office of Supervisors, has cost old Yavapai many thousands Of dollars which might have been saved, and should the tax'paying people succeed in elect ing Mir. Oliver Supervisor, the acme of their desires will have been reached, for in him they will have an officer in whom they can place the most i'm. plicit confidence, knowing him to be a practical man, successful in his pri- vate business affairs, and who will lend the same energy and experience in conducting the affairs of the county.
 l. has been said that he will be sectional in the discharge of his off cial dutieS-incline more to the inter- ests of his immediate locality. Moth ing could be more antagonistic to hls nature. He claims Yavapai county as his home. Her citizens are his people, and when a measure comes before the county legislators, looking to the welfare and prosperity of any section within its borders, 1t will find an earnest supporter in Mir. Oliver. We are prouC to present such candidate to Yavapai county; proud, also, that the expectations are so sanguine tha, q business man, knowing so we'll what our county needs, will take his seat as a guardian of the finances of the county.

A PeItered Professor.

No other habitual Gothamite has had
as much experience with the bunko.
men as Prof Dundon, of the Normal
College. At least dozen of them have
tackled him at one time or another, un.
der the impression that he was coun-
tryman just waiting to be fleeced. All
who have taken him in hand, though,
have found that he knows several things
besides beans and turnips. The Pro-
lessor is a rotund sort of man, with rud-
dy face, good-natured expression and
hearty and comfortable appearance in
general. He dresses rather carelessly,
and this helps to deceive the swindlers,
who take him for farmer or country
store keeper with q good bank account.
When they first took fancy to the Pro-
fessor and began showing him attentions
on the street he did not quite under
stand it, and it annoyed him little, but
now he does understand, and, as his
humorous faculties are pretty we'll de-
veloped, he rather enjoys a bunko inter-
view, and is always. ready for it. The
'swindlers never catch him off guard,
and the smartest has not vet made a
dime out of him. When addressed by
one of them he is always attentive and
apparently little surprised. He is never
at a loss for name and residence,
and he has been in few years a dozen
different persons, hailing from as many
different places, and engaged in doz-
en- different kinds of business. A favor
lite ruse of his is to fool the bunko men
in this way: The first accosts him, for
ms! ance, as Mr.. Johnston, of Johns
town. The Professor disayows Johns
ton and says he is Mr.. Bliss. of Bliss
vile. Off goes scamp number one TO
his pal and tells HIM the stranger j.
Bliss, of Blissville. Then along comes
number $40 with: 'sAh, Mr. Bliss, very
glad etc., and the Professor sets him
back by saying he is Mr.. Johnston, of
Johnstoxn. When number two reioins
number one the pair come to the con-
clusion that it won't pay to work the
stranger any further, though he ooca-
sionally loiters long enough to give
them another chance just for fun. Most
of the bunko men now know the Pro-
fessor by sight and let him alone, but
the new hands go for him now and then,
and feel little discouraged by the re-
suit. While he does not jnvite the at
tentions of any Of the tribe. he Is always
ready to receive them, and give Rol-
and for an Oliver every time.-N Y.

The Girl That EIepes.

Girls have been in the habit of elop-
ing on occasions as long as girls have
been. It is practice that can not be
recommended in general. Commend
able or not. however, girls win do it.
Tie reasons for leaving the paternal
roof between two days in company
with a young man appear to be varied.
Sometimes o cruel parent selects q
husband without asking the daughters
consent. Oftener some would-be hus-
band selects the daughter and the old
man won't consent, thus necessitating
an elopement for the double purpose
of getting married and escaping the
paternal boot. On occasions the elope-
ment is necessary to avoid the revolver
or shotgun of another fellow who has
taken anotion to the girl. Ordinarily
elopements do not take place if the
course of true love meets with no OBJ
stacle in the home of either member of
the seeking-to-be-wedded couple.
Girls are freakish, however, ana
sometimes run away to be married for
no apparent cause whatever. 1t will
be remembered that a daughter of the
immortal Mr.. Wardle was getting
ready to run away with famous
Pickw ckian without so much as sug-
costing to her adorable Snodgrass
the propriety of asking her father
whether he had any objections to the
wedding taking place at home in the
usual way. The sixteen year-old
daughter OF a late ex-Alderman of Long
Island CITY has made herself famous by
an actual elopement of this kinu.
She was pretty and rich, and an
swered to the charming name of Fan
n.y. Her brother had friend by the
name of Walter, who was also rich.
good-looking, and twenty-five. Walter
visited the brother and fell in love with
Fanny, which, under the circumstances,
was natural enough. Nobody had any
objection to Walter or the match, aud
if Walter had asked for Fanny she
would have been given TO him.
But Walter and Fanny concluded to
be romantic, and run away to get mar
RED. Fanny spent the day kissing her
mother, and wondering what in the
living world she would wear to get
married in. She kissed her mother
goodnight at ten o'clock, went to her
room, packed her satchel, met her lover,
and posted to the city of New York.
where they were married, after which
a note was sent home, snd the mater
nal blessing, which they might have
had by word of mouth for the asking,
was telegraphed TO them. and they
went on their wedding tour rejoicing.
The only explanation that can be
given for this highly gratuitous. elope-
ment Is that it runs in the family. Two
older sisters of Miss Fanny have Sc
cured husbands by this method.
Whether the mother of these clipping
daughters set the example by clipping
herself is not reported, but as the elop-
ing tendency appears to be irresistible
in the blood, it is not at all improbable.
If Fanny's mother has any more I'M
married daughters, however. who de-
velop an alarming inclination to kiss
her on any particular day. she should
employ detectives at once to shadow the
oyer-af1ectionate girl, unless she wants
the elopement to succeed. The clipping
tendency is too strong in that family to
be checked by anything short of the
most rigorous measures Philadelphia

The Mejave Desert.

81 The Mo2are Desert is = succession of
vast pains and mountain ranges. The
soil is not excessively sandy, except at
few points. and could water be brought
on these immense wastes they could be
made literally to blossom as the rose.
What tconvinces one of this is the fact
that the desert along the railroad, having
received an unusual supply of the
distilled spirits of Heaven during the
past two months, has bloomed with
amazing fertility, and the land, as far
as the eye can reach. presents the as
pect of a garden-bed of variegated
flowers. darby rich in their setting of
emerald green. Here and there are
little patches of barley, where the seed
has dropped by accident. Near Fenner
