The Mite Society met last night al the residence of Mir. Hoxworth, and they had very pleasant time, sing ing, etc. The next place of meeting will be announced next week. A lot of circulars arc distributed around town stating that Chas. w. Beach, the republican candidate for the legislature, is GA farmer, cow boy, railroader and lab,rer," and that he will do his duty if elected We know that this is all true, and that Charlie is one of the hardes, working men in the county. Vote for him.
 Jos. M Myers, candidate for Sher, iff, William C. Bashford, candidate for Treasurer, Col. L. F. Eggers, candidate for District Attorney, w. O. O'Neill, candidate for Probate Judge, and Hon. George E. Brown, all good and true republicans, arrived from Williams by ,o-day's train, and will speak tonight at the mass meet. ing at Grand Army Hall.
 Col. L. F. Eggers, our present district attorney and candidate for reelection, will speak for himself to- night at Grand Army hall, but his official record in the number of con victions he has obtained and the energetic manner in which he has conducted his office, speaks louder and more eloquently than anything he or others can say from the rostrum. Go and hear him tonight at the mass meeting.
 "Buzz" IS now the favorite game with the adult male population of this town. Two is the best number to play at it, the "BuzZer" and the "Buzzee." They can be easily dis ,inguished by an observer. The lat ter has a woe begone expression, and is limp and submissive. The former holds him by the buttonhole with his left hand, and with his right hand, with forehnger extended, is evidently laying down the law. He is sanguine, earnest and aggressive. They are the anxious candidate and the misera ble voter.
 Mrs. Bradshaw and Mrs. Marvin, most estimable ladies of our town, have, with commendable zeal and energy, determined to open new restaurant in the Gonzales building, on Railroad aveneu, to be called the G. A. R. restaurant. Both ladies have had long experience in the bust ness, and intend to serve their GUS. toners with the best that can be pos sibly had in this market. As an extra inducement, they will make arrangements to keep constantly on hand poultry. game. fish and oysters.

"Oid Grisziy's" Meeting.

| rrooaOly me largest audience tnat ever assembled in Flagstaff for purely
 intellectual purposes greeted A. w.
 Callen last Saturday night at Grand
 Army hall. Among those present were Messrs. Herndon, Horne, Cook and Wilkerson of the democratic del. egation. Geo. H. Tinker was called upon to preside. Old Grizzly, by his , venerable and commanding appear.
 ance, and his forcible and eloquent
 oratory enchsined his audience for
 nearly two hours, elicting rounds of
 laughter and applause as he made his
 telling points. He evidently regarded
 himself as free lance Tn this contest,
 and pierced and slashed right and left,
 according to his convictions, without
 regard to persons or party. His pock- cts were filled with statistics, and
 whenever he made statements of dam- aging facts, he substantiated them by extracts and figures taken directly from the records. When thanking the audience for their kind attention, he pleasantly invited anyone Tn the au- dience to review or controvert his ar guments. The challenge was accepted by Mir. Herndon, who said it WIS not his night to howl, but he felt it his duty to defend the democratic candi. dates who had been assailed; he ac. knowledged that he had not with him the facts and figures with which to contradict the statements made, and he begged the audience, in his char acteris,lc pleading, persuasive manner, not to give entire credence to them without positive proof that they were correct. He was followed by our iel- low townsman, ". G. Stewart, who said that though he was devoted to the republican party, no power on earth could induce him to vote for a candidate who was unfit for the office; that he believed in the motto, give the young man a chance, and was op. posed to old fogyism and life leases of office, and he advised everyone not 10 believe what one candidate said against another, nor what Callea said, nor what he (Stcwart) sad, but to examine carefully and prove every statement made. Mir. Cook then took the floor and denied that he had re- celved $50, 900 from the county iu the las, ten years for acting as its treas. urer. he had only packeted t&o, ,ooe. Qsughter) for his fees had only amounted, on au average, to a little over S4,ooo year. As to his having held the office too long, he would leave that entirely to the people on election day. He lamely tried to ex- plain away certain alleged mslteas. ances in office on the part ot other officials. Tue hour being quite late when Mir. Cook finished the meeting quietly adjourned, though there were several other good speakers present who were anxious to ventilate them selves. The meeting wa, a decided success, and was conducted with cour- tesy and perfect fairness to all. The thanks of our people arc due to "OId Grizzly" for an intellectual treat and most enjoyable evening.

GERONIMO and nineteen of his bucks have bsen ordered from San Antonio, Texas, to Fort Pickens, Fla. Such women and childfeh as were with them have been sent to Fort Marion in the latter state. This order, in face of . recent demand of the civil authorities of Arizona for their surrender and trial, is construed as conclusive evidence that the government intends to regard these Indians as prisoners of war and not as ordinary indicators amenable to civil jurisprudence.

Mormons in the Suburbs.

Last Friday evening Mr.. ". o. Single
ton, who lives two miles from town, met
with Mr.. Heber Wright and his compan.
ion, mormon priests, and asked them if
it was SO that they allowed their members
to have seven wives; if it was he would
like for them to show him how to get
along with one. They said if it was
desired to hear them preach, that they
would do so, wherever they could get an
audience. Accordingly about twenty
persons collected at Mr.. Singleton's and
one of the missionaries made civil,
straightforward talk on the scriptures, not
yenturiDg anything startling or unusual.
The next day they went on their way to
Danville, Oconee County, at which place
they seem to have regular appointment.
These. missionaries are not bold in
teaching the doctrine that it is right to
have more than one wife, but it is we'll
known fact that they represent and in
dustriously teach the doctrines ofa church
which encourages plurality of wives
something that is plainly and positively
against public policy and morality and
contrary to the laws of this State and Of
civilization.
These men may be civil, polite and
educated, but that is nothing while they
believe it is right to be the husband Of
more than one wife. They call them
selves "Latter Day Saints" but wherever
their doctrines have been embraced the
results show that they are "Latter Day
Devils" The serpent would be beauti-
full to look upon, but our knowledge OF
its venom makes it hideous. So do the
mormons appear in the light of civiliza-
ton, morality and religion. They have
sown discord in the happiest families,
estranged the husband and wife, the
father and daughter. Who will hear
them for their cause? Who will stay his
hand, and let the adder strike his child ?

The Pension Fever.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The house
dashed off its usual lot of pension bills
tonight. Friday nights are set apart for
this business, and the looseness with
which it is transacted would be ridicu-
lous were it not q constant waste of the
peoples money. A regular pension fever
is spreading throughout the North and
West. AS the result of such extrava-
gauce as the bill recently passed by the
Senate, which pensions all soldiers of the
late war who cannot make living, and
who have been disabled since the war,
this will cost S34,OOO,O00 year in ad.
dition to the increased pensions to widows
and dependent relations, which will call
for S8,0O0,000 or $10, 100000 more annu-
ally. The ordinary pension bill for the
next year is about $80,000,000 besides
these additions. Such rush for pensions
was never before known and it is natural
since Congress is constantly widening the
range of its bounty and about all that
appears to be necessary to the securing of
pension is the application. Northern
Congressman are becoming alarmed at
this indiscriminate raid on the treasury
but do not dare TO raise voice or cast q
vote against it fc. ear of the soldier vote.
Southern men cannot effectually oppose
this extravaganza and their slig htest
protest is misconstrued into enmity to the
soldiers of the Union. President Cleve-
lands recent voice of warning on this
subject has fallen on deaf ears in Con-
gress, but it is said to voice strong and
growing sentiment among the people who
may see that their wishes are obeyed

Three Great Governors.

CINCINNATI, May 22.-Governors Will
sun. of West Virginia, Lee, Of Virginia,
aud Foraker, of Ohio, who are here as
guest. OF the Festival Association, were
Introduced to the members of the Cham.
ber of Commerce this afternoon by Pres
ident Stevens. Governor Wilson was
grateful. for the opportunity he had of
seeing something of the enterprise and
public spirit of Cincinnati.
Governor Lee, who was received with
shouts of applause, made more elabo.
rate speech, in the course of which ne
referred to the late war aud its events,
which he said should be consigned to
forgetfulness, or if remembered at all,
should be thought Of and talked Of as
evidences of American valor aud fidelity.
No men, he said, could be brought to
face such storms Of shot and she'll as
were poured upon the Southern soldiers
unless they thought their cause was just.
He was happy to say that Virginia's aiI,
was to lake her place in the curonet of
the American Union and by her helpful
ness in advancing the interests of the
common country to become bright and
flashing jewel. His remarks were warm.
ly applauded.
Governor Foraker followed, saying he
was delighted to see the earnestness Of
the greeting given to Governor Lee, who
for the first time visited Ohio. 1t would
show him that though Ohio's sons had
fought Virginians it was not through
hate. Rather Ohio loved Virginia SO
we'll that she would not allow her to
separate from the Union. The war has
settled their differences for all time, and
now the common desire of patriots every
where was to build up the whole country.
Loud applause followed. The Governors
then held a reception, and were met by
many of the prominent members of the
Chambers of Commerce.

Freaks Of the Cyclone.

Reports of the Ohio cyclone of last
Friday show the remarkable freaks that
these wind storms play with human life
and property. In the house of George
Hoffman was an eight-months.old baby
1t was picked up by the wind, laid in a
feather bed, and the whole business, baby
and all, was carried one hundred and
fifty feet. 1t was then deposited and Il
log was thrown on either side of the
child, pinning the bed to the ground.
After the storm search was instituted
for the baby. One of the searchers heard
it cry, and, following the direction indi-
Gated by the sound, found the little pet,
and restored it uuinjured to the arms of
its distracted mother.
Mr.. Curtis Hall, Jr., of Neptune, re-
ports that he saw straws that were blown
into old oak trees. A bed in the house
of Andy Ginter was blown into the
fields, and three children in it were
carried along with it. All Of the furni
ture was blown out of George Fox's
house. Feathers were stripped from
chickens on the farm as clean as though
the fowls had been prepared for the pot
by cook. The chickens were caught by
an obstruction that held them for the
wind to operate upon them.
William Stevenson says that he saw
the cyclone approach. 1t looked like
great black ball in the act of rolling
over the surface of the earth. 1t came
along with frightful velocity, and made
noise louder than the roaring of hun
dred thunder peals. 1t was clear night
everywhere but in the wake Of the fear
full monster. 1t was about half mile
wide, and it twisted immense trees off at
the ground as though they were pipe
stems. It cut crops of grain aud grass
off as clean as a moving machine, and
in instances stripped trees of bark as
hungry Italian would peel banana.
George Fox's wagon was carried half
mile. The ties on two wheels were
each cut in two as with sharp instru-
ment, and each partly Strengthened ex-.
actly in the same shape. At John
Grimm's dishes were carried and driven
into stumps so that they could not be
pulled out.

Senator Blair on the Boycott.
The boycott is accommodation. lis

The boycott is communication. It's
dissolution Of sncicty III far rs il goes.
Sometimes it may lie Indispensable, but
as remedy it is, as n rule, itself a dis.
ease, and as means of vengeance it is
an invasion of the prerogatives of the
Supreme Being, who claims vengeance as
His own. Resort to the boycott can be
justified only in extreme cases, and never
should extend to the innocent friends
and associates of the supposed offender
who are not responsible for the offence,
and who may be far more injured by the
boycott than the perpetrator of the
wrong. I prefer to write of measures
and principles, which, if adopted, will
abolish the boycott and the causes which
lead to it.
am of the opinion that eight hours is
long enough for days work in all the
heavy manual occupations of life, and
that the eight hour system should be in-
troduced generally throughout the coun
try as rapidly as it can be done by peace
full and orderly methods and without
serious arrangement of the production of
the country. This can be done, in my
belief, without diminishing that produc-
ton and with greatly beneficial results to
business men and wage-workers alike.
Machinery can be kept in operation
longer hours, in fact for twelve or six
teen,. or the whole twenty four hours in
emergencies, by the system of hour or
piece labor or the employment of relays
of hands. In this way all the unemploy-
ed can find work and suitable pay while
production would be greatly increased
and at the same time cheapened to the
consumer. The grand strategy of labor
should be to improve and work machinery
more and more and the individual toiler
less and less while distributing employ
ment to every one, which under the exist
ing order of things, an order which must
continue in its essential features for many
years, if not always, is the chief practical
means of securing an equitable distribu-
ton of production itself.
To distribute employment is to dis
tribute production. The worker must
remember that as education and skill
measure his wages as an individual, so
general education and skill measure the
average of wages among whole people.
Education alone can prevent the degra-
dation of laborers to the level fixed by the
competition of ignorance in all parts of
the country. Education is civilization
and civilization commands high pay, and
consequently fair and equal distribution
of things to be consumed. Highly
skilled, and, therefore, highly paid labor
must compete more and more with igno
rant, and, therefore, cheap labor through
out the country.
There is no tariff between the North
and the South, and one general level of
wages must ultimately prevail. Educa.
ton is the great equalizer Of conditions,
and nothing but uniformity of intelli-
gence among the people can prevent
competition between ignorant and there.
fore cheap labor on the one hand, and
intelligent and therefore we'll paid labor
on the other. Intelligence must lift up
ignorance or be degraded by it. 1t was
