A Plain Talking Democrat.

II is gratifying to see Northern Demo-
crat here and there who resents the rule
Of the rebel element in the Solid South in
the Democratic party, and in the present
administration, says the Des Moines
Register. 1t has never seemed possible
that the Democrats who were in favor OF
the war to save the Union could indorse
the manner in which their party has kept
itself under the control Of the men wi o
made up the rebel army. We have felt
sure that in due time would come protests
from such Depocrats against the ab;ect
manner in which Mr.. Cleveland has chosen
from the Southern rebel element mon to fll
nearly oil the important posts abroad and
the most Of the important general ofices
At home. For the truc war Democrats Of
the war had no more lore for the rebels
Of the South than the Republicans. There
have been in the last year many DeMocrats

that the Democratic party can no more ex-
list one half Union and one-kalf Confed-
crate than this country could exist one- half
Tree and cne-half slave, the Colonel pro-
ceeded to arraign the party in power il the
following vigorous style:
The Democratic party is now dominated
and controlled iy the Confederate element,
and that fact will drive it from power. II
that element has not lready destroyed Mr..
Cleve and's administration, it il safe to pre-
dict that it will wreck it before its cl se.
Under the present leadership, no sound
Democrat in the South caa get an Office.
To secure an appointment he must have
served in the Confederate army, OF have
besn sympathizer. These are nece sary
qualifications, especially in Missouri. re
any Union Democrat in this State has been
apo nied or may be appointed by tie nA-
tionil administration, it will be due to the
fact that he has 80 debased himself as to
get down IN the dust on his knees and
kissed the feet Of our Confederate Scna-
tors. -.
aBut We are told BY these Contederate
gentlemen, and especially by our senior
Senator, that the war is over. and that we
are now all Democrats and loyal 10 the
Union. II that is true, there has been an
Abandonment Of the principles he once
held and which led him into the Confed-
crate army. Has he changed his Confed-
crate principles and embraced those of the
Democracy? / have seen no evidence Of
that fact. On the contrary, there are cir.
cumstances that tend to show that he has
not changed"

BLAINE PREPARING FOR wAR.

He Is Said to BE Accommodating Material
for an Attack ON the AdmInistratiop.
Washington special to New York World
Within the last two weeks there has been
sent from this city to the home Of Mr..
Blaine b rrel Of executive documents and
official communications from the President
TO Congress, and such other matter e. msy
enable Mr.. Blaine to inform himself Of the
action of Congress and the general work
ings Of the administration. The meaning
of this is that the Kennebec statesman pro-
poses to inaugurate an aggressive campaign
against the administration. Every pension
veto and appropriation bill has long since
been in the hands Of Mr.. Blaine. In writ
ing for the documentary evidence he was
particular to emphasize his need Of COM
munications bearing upon the river and
harbor appropriation bill, the surplus reso-
luton, the coinage, tariff, and oleomargar-
inc cases, and the Mexican and fish ries
troubles. To q friend from whom he asked
to have sent The literature, Mr.. Blaine
wrote at some length, relative to the action
Of Secretary Bayard on the imprisonment
Of Editor Cutting. On this subject it is
understood Mr.. Blaine will devote most Of
his attention and he will arraign the foreign
policy of Clevelands administration.

DEMOCRATS PILING UP EXPENSES.

A Democratic Papers Protest Against
Democratic Extravagance-An Increase
OFFS Per Cent. In Appropriations In Ton
Years, Against an Increase Of Only 80 Per
Cent. In Population.
From the New York Sun, Democratic.l
To understand the risk which the Demo-
cratic party, through its Representatives in
Congress, is now running it is
only necessary 10 place the appropris-
tions for the present year alongside Of those
of ten years ago. In 1876, AZ in 1886, the
House was Democratic and the Senate Was
Republican. In 1876 the Democratic ma.
jority in the House was 49, in 1885 it is Al.
In 1876, as in 1886, the Democratic majori-
ty was returned by the country on distinct
pledges Of retrenchmsn' reform, and eco
nomical expenditure. 1t is the same issue
the issue which brought about the tidal
waves of 1874 and 1882, and which the great
leader who has just died represented in the
national election Of 1876.
New let ns compare the appropriations
Of these two sessions separated by ton
years interval, but with the political con-
ditions almost precisely similar:

THERE IS a particular inquiry al this time for good gold mines Tn Arizona and, owing to the low price of silver only the best and richest silver proper. ties csn be sold. The recent discovery of vast gold bearing quartz lodges in the Santa Cstalinss WAS not only timely. but one of the greatest prospective i'm portauce to this city. A great gold belt will be opened, second only in size to the largest known gold lode ia the world, and first in productive capscity, that will add many millions annually to the wealth of the country and give eu- pioyment to quite an army of industri- ous people. These discoveries have not been made public or notorious, and lucky prospectors having had ample opportu- nity to locate all they care to own, there is now DO reason why some publicity should not be given to a matter o; such importance. We are promised c full description of these vast properties and hope ID a short time to be able to give a reliable and conservative report Of them.

THE Stars contributing editor dis plays 6 rare genius for vulgar abuse but even after three days of meditation and wrestling with an insignificant sub iect it gets the facts badly twisted and distorted. We do not blame the Star for its disgust over the action of the democratic convention in appending to the platform resolutions the paragraph giving Zdlick such 8 dose of fulsome hsitery, and its desire to suppress It, but that does not change the facts. which no amount of discourtesy and abuse csn change. The convention received from the committee on resolutions the pre- viously prepared platform. to which was appended the following:
 Your committee also presents the iol' lowing resolution, and recommends HIS adoption:
 Resolved, That the Democracy of Arizona through it's representatives ID convention assembled, cOngratulates and thanks Gen. N. A. Miles. Captain Lsvton, and the brave officers and sol diers for theIr courage, perseverance, wonderful endurance and untlring zeal which has resulted in the capture and removal of the hostile Apsches and the restoration of peace.
 Resolved, That copy of these resolu tioDs be forwarded by ihe secretary ol | the Territorial democratic committee tC General Miles, with the request that they be conveyed 10 the officers and soldiers of bis command ID some proper mode.
 Resolved, That the people of AriZonf are under everlasting obligations to oul Governor, c. Meyer Zulick, for the ini tistIve and to Grover Cleveland. ihs president, and l.. c c. Lamar, the Sec retary of the Interior, for having made final settlement of the Indian ques- ton Tn this Territory, allowing us tC pass ou to that path of happiness and prosperity that we have striyen 10 reach through the curse of the red man rest ing on us.
 The resolutions were unanimously adopted by the convention and all bui the last one appears m the platform a published in the Star. The matter must be a more serious ore than | was first thought to be. else it would not provoke such Ire and yulgarity 1T our misguided contemporary.

AT the earnest solicitation of many members of the democratic party, Vt surrender 8 portion Of our space to-day for the open letter of Jos C. Perry, Esq. to the editor of the democratic organ oi the county democracy. Much of hiI lament IS mere buncome, but ss 1t If solely an internecine rebellion among the stranded democrats, We do not pur. pose to become more than an interested spectator. enjoying the exploding har- mOny that initiates our misguided oppo. nents. IL is s sort of family ruction in which We look down from the garrei like the old man did upon the sstrugglss of his better-half with the bear. The al- fusion of Mir. Perry to the wonderful ef- forts and genius of Gov, ZuliCk. is par ticulsrly fscetious, and would provoke a smile even across the mobile counte nance of a gibbous moon. But as the overdone tsfTy gives out its own offensive odor like unto singed wool, it is but dead Sea frnIt to those who are verdant enough to bite at it.

HE authorities at Washington are kept very busy in contriving obstacles to the punishment of Geronimo, Nstchez and their followers. They even inti- mate now that a military commission is incompetent; a court martial is without prect dent, and promise defies the civil law process. If these dirty outlaws are the innocent victims of unfortunate CIT cumsssnces. andi the whole campaign s huge joke. with all ibe tortureR and bloodshed roaring farce, the great one- horse administration had best turn these noble red men loose and restore their arms and plunder before they sue ceed ID bringing suit against the gov erDment for false imprisonment and re- cover heavy damages. After the presi- dent gets through fishing he will sit in judgment on his rival majesty and per haps strike up partnership with him in the government business.

A WAsHISGToS telegram 10 the St Louis Globe Democrat outlines probs
 ble bitter personal contest over the credit for the capture of the hostile In dians, between the respective friends oi General Crook and General Miles, with 8 side issue of considerable warmth be tween the Interior and War departments. General Crooks friends clsim that Gen. eral Miles accepted Geronimo's surreD. der upoR conditions that he WAS in- structed to refuse upon the former oyertures, and that had such conditions been guaranteed the hosules every one of them would have accompanied Chi hushus and the other surrendered hos
 tiles to Florida, a long time ago. Upon this weak ground they will carry the controversy into Congress and exhibit their mRlIce and envy before the whole world. They are jealous of the honors achieved by General Miles through his signal success under the most dis oouraging circumstances. and hope to repair the shattered repu- tation of General Crook at the eI- penss of General Miles well earned laurels. The jealousy between the war department and interior depart ment. that has been held in abeyance pending the pursuit ana capture of the hostiles. also gives strong indications of breaking out anew. The direct bear ing of these unfortunate circumstances upon the fate of Geronimo, can hardly be conjectured, save that the preserva
 tioD Of his precious life becomes s mat ter of increasing importance as th
 feud progresses. Unless the old demon accommodates the wish of the people and soon dIes of gluttoDy, there will al- ways remain lingering regret that the Mexican forces did not succeed ID making the capture and give every one of these murderers a separate reser- ystion in skeol,

Now that our people will turn from the scenes of bloodshed to the peaceful pursuits of life, the time hos arrived for a search among the natural resources Of our country for opportunities of prof. itable and permanent investment. Our rich and numerous mines do not con- stitute the only source of the future greatness and prosperity of our fair land, and even the vast cattle interests will eventually be surpassed by the won- derful agricultural developments that are but just budding in the minds of eutsrprising and industrious men, There exists but @ email and insignificant DOT. tion of the area embraced within the boundaries oi Arizona that is not csps- ble of profitable tillage. and when the waters from the natural rainfall Is pro- perly nusbsnded, and tue depths of the earth are ta apped for the srtesIsn flow Of the precious liquid therein stored, the fertile mesas and valleys, BOW termed deserts, VII be made to blossom and bear rich fruits ID wonderful eIhuber- snce. Even tbe large tracts of land that may be brought under cultivation by known and unfsiling sources of water supply are still inviting the mellowinR blow and the planting of the fruitful seed tO yield a laughing harvest. Ont of the seventy thousand acres oI land of this character ID Pimt county not five thousand are il any state of cultivation, and more thun two-thIrds of this amount lacks that intelligent cultivation ths' brings weslth to the husbandmsn ana attests the prolific nature of our soil snC climate. The whole length of the Sants Cruz valley Is susceptible of being con verted into one continuous orchard or { succession of verdure-clad gardens producing sufficient to lay at our doors every form of fruit or vegetable con sumed, and enough to form a proftabl, trads in exporting to the less favored regions. Our early seaso1s give 10 tht Arizona farmer wonderful advantage ID marketing his crops. From a montf 10 six weeks in advance of the esrlles California fruits those of Arizona ripen and in quality they are eIcelled by DC other production. In addition to thit early advantage comes the further blessing of the certainty of a second and even q third crop each year, so evenly do the seasons run. In grasses the growth is perennial, and the rapid grow. ing varieties are often cropped monthly during the whole year. Indeed, in every respect and condition, there are greater profits with a less expenditure of labor, in Rgrculture ID this territory, with greater certainty of accommodating wealth, than in any other pursuit in thii or any other portion of the United States. Itonly requires the association of the capital and cooperation of the labor and intelligence of a selected colony of people to develop all the nee essary conditions of success, and within the brief space of five years from the day upon which they begin their gooc work they will have made themselves permanent and attractive homes and s but it IS true.

OUR Sooopendyke contemporary has invented new and dangerous instru. ment of torture which it terms "The Electric Club" We suppose it con tains occult sllusions. to Jovelike thunderbolts and lightning strikers; or perhaps the current is intended to be transmitted through political wires st. isched to the polls, with shocking re- suits.
