The True American Citizen.
BY CHARLES NoRpHoFF.

A creature believing himself to posses an immortal part, or soul, destined to survive the body, would reasonably seek to prepare this immortal part for the conditions under which 1t IS to exist. And as the future life Is, Gs we are taught. to be lived without the help of the body, 1t is evident that training the soul or spirit consists in increasing by cultivation our capacity for :hoso enjoy ments which do not depend upon the body. To curb the body, therefore, and keep 1t under control, to restraIn the lower passions-thOse which we have Tn common with beGsts-and to weed out of ourselves envy, greed, spite, covetous- ness, jealousy, hypocrisy, ill-temper all tending to disregard for the rights of others-would appear, aside from the commands and instructions of religion, to be the reasonable and prudent course of every man who believes himself to have an immortal part, or soul.
 But God has so made the world, and SO formed mankind, that they naturally and inevitably respect and esteem most highly those who most consistently at upon this theory of life. The whole world is combined to honor Washington: and 1t is equally unanimous in execrat- ing a merely vulgar and selfish trader or politician.
 Now, I wish you to remember. as a fundamental truth in American politics. that the course of life which Is thus cal culated to fit your immortal part for the future and spiritual life is also that course which will make you a good citizen of the United Strtes.
 To be a good citizen means not merely that you shall give such prudent obe- dIence to the laws as would keep you out of jail. It means that you shall, n all parts of your life, live moderately anF virtuously; that you shall love your neighbor as yourself, and there fore do him no wrong; that you shall pursue your aims in life with such mod eration as to avoid interfering with the happiness of others; that you shall en- deavOr by your actions, whenever occa- sion serves, to benefit your fellow-men; for selfishness breeds selfishness, covet- ousness corrupts those who behold it, and liberty can only be maintained among a people who practice seif-sacrif- ice, and to whom virtuous life seems more important than mere selfish suc- cess.

people will visit. The southern people are moving ahead. They have an eye to this section of the country. We be- lieye that no section will attract their attention h like degree as Arizona. This IS our peoples opportunity. Every thing IS depressed at this time. We cannot hope to recover immediately only by degrees. If we will take advan- taGe of this exposition We firmly believe that hundreds of people will visit our town and Territory within the next year. Arizona has has got black eye in the east, owing to 80 many swindling min- ing operations. Such operations have been exposed and the country is rIG of the greater number of the swindlers and we are now in good condition to % before the people of the south with our products. It will pay.

Mr. J. R. Manning received all the votes and was instructed for Head first, last and all the tlme, and to h4des with the unit rule if it was against Head. The Democracy in this section don't take any stock in the ancleut aspirant from Pennsylvania.

TUcsoS, A. T., Sept. l, 1884.
 To the President and Members of the Republican Club, Phenix, Arizona Gentlemen: At the earnest request of many Republicans, and upon the unan- imous vote of your club announcing my name Es the choice of Maricopa county for Delegate to Congress, 1 have con- scented to allow it to stand as a candi- date for the action of the convention to be held at Tombstone on the 18th in- start.
 Should the Territorial convention confirm your action by making your se- lection the choice of the Republican party of Arizona, shall hold myself in readiness to enter the field, and, with the support of the people I am conf- dent of having, believe the issue of the campaign will be success to the Re- publican party and ;he beginning of a new era for tue Territory.
 Having faith in the good will and good judgment of the people, l am satisfied that, If I receive the nomina- tion, my election will follow just as surely as I am convinced that James G. Blaine will be our next President.
 A radical change Is needed, and can assure you, and the people generally that. if become your delegate in Coa- greSs, ths material interests of Arizona will receive that thoughtful attention requisite to ensure protection by the general government and measures of relief wherein the Territory may be benefited.
 I believe I have had that training and possess that knowledge of public affairs which will enable me to successfully initiate measures for the good of the Territory, and I believe the time has come when We should have a delegate in Washington who will devote his time and talents exclusively to the wants of our Territory, and who will energe.ical- ly and conscientiously work for the common good.
 I have the honor to be, very respect fully your obedient servant.

MAINE will be heard from next week. Democrats are making speculations on the result. They have placed the Re publican majority at such a high figure that will enable them 10 see encourage ment provided the majority should not reach that figure. and it is not likely to. Maine will undoubtedly give the Re publican candidates large maiorities, and the vote compared with other years, may be in excess of those elections, but that it will be either a great victory if the Republicans should gain few, or a defeat if that party should not come up to the Democratic idea, IS absurd. The Republicans certainly will be satis- fled with such victories as Maine and Vermont give.

IRE Democratic primary election last Monday disclosed the fact that there are only a small number of Democratic voters, comparatively speaking, and the Star IS SO much ashamed of that vote, and afraid of further exposure, that il now suggests that the respective county officers, etc, be nominated at a mass convention instead of a delegate conven- tion. We don. blame the Star for its effort to hide the weakness of its party's strength in a coming contest. Rats, you know, leave sinking ship before it goes down, so will Democrats leave the cid craft So badly managed, when they discover water in the hold.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Cincinnati Times-Star (Ind.): Thad. Pound comes out for Cleveland. But that Is only one Pound more
 Louisville Times CDem.): The Demo cratic party is no hog, bat it likes to hear from its candidates occasionally.
 Cleveland Herald (Rep): The Boston Herald IS sure from a perusal of Clevelands letter that the writer means all he says. He could DO. well mean less.
 Burlington Hawkeye (Rsp.): What has become of Hendricks? He don't matefiglizs worth cent He is prob ably "out Tn Inieany' trying to bury his record.
 Buffalo Express CRep): But Cleve- lands beer Is as poor issue for a na- tional campaign-as poor as St. Johns anti-beer. The excise question belongs to the States. Let it be left to them.
 St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.): The Republican has discovered an Irishman who is opposed to Blaine. He lives in the County Galway, though. Blaine never did expect to carry the County Galway.
 New York Mail and Express (Rep.): The hearty greetings that President Ar thur receives wherever he goes are very hattering to the honest, manly man who has occupied the Presidential char un- der difficulties such as no other Americ- an President had to encounter.
 New York Tribune (Rep): Unless the Independent leaders change their beha- yior radically, and probe accusations against Governor Cleveland as zealcusly as they insist upon ancient islanders against Mir. Blaine, they are likely to come out of this campaign the most thoroughly despised men in the country.
 Indianapolis Journal (Rep.): Had the Democratic party not feared to face the war issue, Mir. Bayard would have been its nominee. Had it not feared to dis cuss the tariff, Randall would have been the man. It wanted a man without a record, 30 it selected Cleveland. MT. Cleveland will leave the party as he found 1t.
 Detroit Post (Rep.J: It is interesting to note the relative Ctrength of the Pro and the Republicans. The largest Prohibition vote eger east in Michigan was in 1883, being less than l40O0. The smallest Republican vote since 1876 was also in 1883. beng more than i20,O0l The one-eIghth part tail wants to wag the eseven-elghths part dog.

REPUBLICANS have reason to be grsti- fled over the result of the State election in Vermont on Tuesday. There wRs lack of canvass on both sides; the vote fell off slightly compared with 1880, where was more local interest. The Presidential campaign did not enter into the canvass whatever. Pingree, Republican candidate for Governor, car ried the State by over 14,000. The vote was in proportion to the average vote of the past ten years. The Democrats made quite an effort in certain localities, and the result is very discouraging to them. The Independent press of the East is laboring to give the Democracy encouragement over the result, but the Democracy don't take much stock in that kind of result-over two to one against them.

IT is now getting to that point m the matter of exhibiting the products Of Arizona at the Worlds Exposition, when men must render substantial assistance or see the thing fail, so Tar as Arizona is concerned. The government has appropriated 5000, SL0OO of this amount goes towards fixing upa depart- nnent at the exposition, some ot thls amount IS paid to the commissioners until after the exposition IS opened.
 The amount which will be left after the expenses have been paid at New Orleans will be small, compared with the ex- penses of gathering together the pro- ducts. The commissioners have found the work to be of greater magnitude than they anticipated. They now have adopted the plan of appointing a SUD- commissioner in each county whose duty it shall be to get together the products of said county. In New Mexico the county supervisors have subscribed: but owing to the condition Of affairs in this county, the supervisors would expect to be indicted If they attempted to give any of the S2OO'VoO' which the Legislature authorised them to expend for legitimate enterprises. consequently there is not much hope ID that quarter. The Legislature may at its next session appropriate something, but that does no good now. These commissioners can not do work
 without none. The only way open is for cur monied people to sub scrAbe It will take not less than S2,OOO Cor Pima county. Less than that would
 be of scarcely any use. and We doub. If the county eaH be properly represented
 on that amount. Will the people aid ID this important enterprise: This IS no Denver humbug, but a genuine exposl- lion which hundreds of thousands of
