con kxows THE best.

Sometime when all LIES lessons have been
learned.
And sun and stars forevermorc have set.
The things which our weak Judgments here
have spurned-
The things DER which we grieved with lashes
wet
VIII flash before us ont OF life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue;
And We shall see how all Gods plans were right
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
Aud We shall see how, while We frown and sigh
Gods plans gc on rs best for you and me;
How. when we called, He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom TO the end could see.
And cen Us prudent parents disallow
Too much OF sweet to craving babyhood.
SO God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
LIES sweetest things, because 1t seemeth
good
And IT, sometimes, commngled with life's wine
We fiud the wormwood, and rebel and shrink.
BE sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink.
And If some friend We love is lying low.
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father 50,
But wear your sorrow with becoming grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend :;
And that sometimes the sable pail OF death
Conceals the Unrest boon his low can send.
II we would push ajar the gates OF life,
And stand within and all Gods working see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife.
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to-day: then be content, poor heart!
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart
Time win reveal the calyxes OF gold.
And II through patient toll We reach the land.
Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest,
When We shall clearly know and understand
Think that we will say: "God knew the best

ONE of the chief and most fre- quenl points made against the coin
 age of silver by the government, is
 that it lies useless and idle in the
 treasury vault. According to tn
 last treasury estimate, there appears to be good reason for the accun u- lation of at least s121, ,92l, fer these figures represent the amount of silver certificates in circulation,
 for which an amount of silver that they represent must be retained in the government treasury for their redemption.
 IL would seem, for. useless and idle currency, that in this form a considerable portion of this obnox- ious money had, notwithstanding ihe organized and official opposition NSen uIlVen Into clrculallOn Dy the absolute needs of industrial activity. Al the present time, according to the statement for August, the silver cer~ outstanding are but slightly less than the gold certificates, which is a conclusive argument against this important factor of our national currency, which is being driven by absolute necessity into circulation, notwithstanding the united efforts of a class of capitalists, supported by | the government officials, to depre> ciate and ruin its value as a circu- Isting medium --Er.

To AN Albuquerque Journal re- porter Secretary Van Arman has very truthfully and pointedly given tho following answer to the ques~ tions:

 "It is excellent. I don't think there i5 single instance on record where one of the mines in our country has been systematically worked and fa1led to repay tue out lay hundred fold. What we need, oi course, is capital, and we are con fdeut that if money men will only visit us we can convince them on very short notice.
 "Why look at the United Verde and the immense dividends it has paid. Then there is the Pine Tree mine over in Tn the Turkey Creek district.

IF there is any one reascn moro
 important than another why tht
 Ame rican people should elect James
 G. Blaine to the Presidency of the
 United States, Il IS because If bi-
 very pronounced convictinDs regard
 ing the supremacy of the commer-
 cIal interests of the Uniled States in
 tue United States, and wherev,r else
 those interests may be pushed
 The British people and press
 rccognizs this doctrine, of which Blaine is SD able and daring an ex- ponent, as one which is in direct op- position to their own plan of gain ing control of American trade, matter iu whIoh they have been making rapid progress. Tn discuss- ing this matter the Pull NaU Gazete of London recently said:
 "Of course he does not propose to drive Us out at the poil of the oayo~ net. lie is not a lunatlc, but very able and shrevd Yankee. But wherever he can he will oust us from the position which we hold; whenever an opportunity offers he will use il to the uttermost to re- place our influence ana ira :e hy the influence and trade of the United States, and he will regard If as his chief object to promote a great American confederacy under the agis of the government at Washing ton, which would tend to increase the export trade of the United States at the expense of that of Great Britain. This is no mere inference from his acts. It is avowcd almost in SO many words Tn an article which he published two years ago in a Chicago magazine, anu it is con- nrmcd ny every dispatch which he wrote during his short tenure of office under Gen. Garfield "
 This IS the British v,ew of Blaine's candidacy. They see the point and they propose if British influence" can do so to prevent his election and 10 that end their hired minions, their American Hessians, are hard l It wolk with Geo. ". Curtis and Tory paper for their mouth pIece. l

WE apprehend that on Monday
 rext the Republicans of the Terri
 tory in convention assembled at
 Tombstone sw1ll nominate a tick
 ct that will be a credit to Arizona.
 and for which every good citi- zen, he he Democrat or Republican, can vote with a feeling that he is doing something for the future prospects, tbe future well being, of the Territory.
 The Democracy of the Territory have put up the sIoutest men in their party on their Trrrit' rial ticket, but we conscientiously believe that the Republicans of the Territory have ln view men who are more capabIe, more likely to accomplish something forus because more in consonance with the administrati,u u, than are tbe candidates of the Democratic party.
 Tine Republicans will doubtless nominate men who are among the foremost in the T,rritory in enter, prise and material prosperity. Men, too, who are not paralyzed, in measure, in their pnblic fife by mar row prejudices, such as would build n road around a rival town, but men who have the welfare of the entire Territory at stake, are interested in its general and entire development, 1 liberal generally in their i'd as, and | in every way progressive men, up to the tImts Ii all directions, and able to lay hold of modern idea Of pross perity and progress both in educa> tional and all other material inter- ests of the country. We believe the ticket will be H. c. Hooker, of Ora ham county, for Delegate to Con- gress, and II. H. Sherman If Phoe- nix, for Superintendent of Public Instruction

 ED. HERALD.-Your paper having a very large circulation tlrou. bout the Territory of Arizoua, and being almost equally interested in the de yelopement of the inning, cattle and agricultural interests with New Mexico, ought, as your correspon> dent thinks, give the New Mexico Exposition a good representation, not only of repl eseni atIves to tie
 fair, but in other representations,
 all of winch will kbe properly pre- sented, and particularly in the rnine eral dl,play. Albuquerque is situ- ated, geologically just In the righ place to make the sbos5" town of New Mexico, It is laid out with broad street~ which are well spr:nk led, the buildings are built with agricultural tastes, two stories and three, very few being of one, as business houses, and nearly all of brick. The hotels and saloons, groceries. dry goods, etc are numer~ ous. The Armijo House IS the only first class hotel in the city, P. B. sherman is the proprietor. Itis three stories in height and contalns 200 rooms with conyeniences to ac- commOdate many more. I have visited the race track and found some twenty men at work preparing the park and racing corrse. Tn, re are d number of horses now in tram ing at he park. and some have shown speed far surpassing their owners highest expectations, both in trotting and running.
 There will be a grand display of all kinds of fruits, and no finer or more delicious fruit has ever been exhibited than will be at this fair, which opens on October 9th and continues for week and will close with grand fire works. The street cars run to the gates of the park There is stream of water running through the city carrying of all the fifth that accumulates in so large a place. Albuquerque has popula- tion of 12.O00 and increasing every day. Twenty-f houses 1 counted this day in course of construction No one can have an idea of the wealth that has made this the most beautiful town in New -Iexico, three years old only. As for shade trees they grow like mushrooms after a warm r;.iR. It will be but short time before her avenues will be shaded as beautifully as those iu Salt Lake City. Eaery morning her streets are swept as clean IS Tn any city in the world In the old town, which is the fair grounds, there is lar.e square, most beautiful to be- hold. During the Exposition two bands will discourse sweet music and thus soothe the savage ear. In the centre of the citv there is located a most beautiful garden with foun> taiDs ard flowers, with little beer if you say "law" OLD PRINT.
