 We are told that the jobbing trade in woolens continues very active and that is something we are greatly ln- terested in. I do not think a Demo crat could make me believe "black IS white" but We should give the pre- sent administration credit Tor finally causing a rigid investigation into the classification of foreign wools. That, too, is of great importance to Us.

Very Respectfully,

Cherry Creek, Oct, 4th, 1885. EDITOR CHAMPION.
 Stockmen Tn this vicinity are very saucy, for the grass IS high, al1 good and their animals are in fine condition.
 Wm. Allen and Nip BlAcktord have gone to Phoenlx to attend the tdli races. They are taking three fine horses with them, Gro SIet heads the list. School is progressing nicely with an attenlalce of 2 scholars. p. C. Miller weilds the padegngal wand with firm and uGtiriny hID1' Mining interests arc looking up in this vicinity. Minds, Campbell and Oiden are about through with a hundred ton run from the "Sdppiy' from which they expect good resll,S.
 Jack Hardy is drifting in the "iI!tie" on the hundred foot level and the mine is looking fine and will certainly prove success, for it is a large and rich ledge. John Allen is siiking on the "Clipper' and taking out son rich gold ore. Smith and S:Jtt are having over the G )ld Nugget. Go it boys, may you both be successful.
 Sherman Sessions and P. C. Miller leased a mine from Dr. Scott, and will commence work at once.
 Republicans of this precinct are proud of the ticket nominated a, Prescott, and think this fall is the accepted time to try and defeat some of the Democrats, who seem to think that the people of Yavapai should continue them Tn office during their natural lives.
 The boss of this creek is a Demo. crat. Latrly he has not boasted about the men he nominated in the Con. vention. He got lett in the Primary. Sad is the life of a politician when the people cannot appreciate his ability and worth.

SAM JONES, the religious clown who has
for some time been making money by pre-
tending to conduct revivals, and whose
speeches were a mixture ofcant, %blasphemy
and abuse OF his betters, has fallen from
grace. Among the vices which were a tar
get for his adjectives was the use of to-
bacco, a practice which he abandoned when
he entered upon his evangelical work. Now
it appears that he has returned to the
weed, and is as much a slave to the habit
as ever. 1t makes but little difference what
Sam Jones or any OF his class eat ordrink,
and the tobacco incident is simply men
TONED to show the shallow p]rctensions OF
the a Only a month ago he was
damning it with all the fervor OF which he
was capable and chasing it with the mortal
sins; to-day he is a victim OF his own folly
OF speech if not of appetite. 1t is about
time that the christian people OF the coun-
try, including ministers. should frown
down all such frauds. Religion is not a
matter OF excitement, and all efforts to
make it s:ch must prove detrimental to
true piety and true religion.

IT is stated that during this season there
will be grown in.Colorado over SO, 600 acres
of alfalfa, which will give it a larger acreage
OF that product than any other State. AS
from three to four crops can be cut during
the year and the average yield is four tons
per acre to the crop it will be readily seen
that the product will be something enor-
NOUS. As for the expense OF raising alfalfa
after it is once well set, it consists only OF
the irrigation and cutting and curing the
crops. 1t is about the So me as the expense
OF raising timothy in the Mississippi Valley
States. With these figures in view, and
they are as true OF Utah as of Colorado,
there does not appear to be any good rea-
son why the cattle men of Montana should
not begin at once It's cultivation. It would
surely do as we'll here as in the places
named, and could not fail to largely in
crease the number OF cattle that can be
placed upon the summer ranges, for it
would supply them with ample food for the
winter season. Naturally the stock grazed
on the summer ranges is limited by the
number that can be supported in winter,
and as alfalfa has solved the problem for
the cattle men OF %neighboring States and
there is no reason why it should
not be tried in Montana.

1t SEEMS strange that the Senate should
pass q bill OF such vast and f~ar-reachins
effect as the Pension bill which went
through that body last week, without max
ing some definite estimate of the cost to
the country. Senator Blair, who had
charge of the measure, said it might add
$25, 600, 900 to the present annual cost OF
pensions. Two years ago when he was
pushing the same bill for passage, he said
it would probably cost $50, 600, 900 year.
Other senators equally familiar with the
facts upon what the estimate should
be based, maintained that the enact.
ment of the bin would call for $780,
900, 600 a year in addition t, the present
outlay. The question OF patriotism has
nothing to do with this phase OF the mat
ter. II the country desires to pension
every man, woman and child who
took part either directly or indirectly in
the suppression OF the rebellion, it has a
perfect right to do So, but that should not
deter our august lawmakers from figuring
out as nearly as possible what the bills they
pass will call for when presented to the Treas
ury for payment. Slip-shod ways OF doing
business should be out OF placein Congress.
The country is willing to pay its just obi
cations, but it should not be misled as to
their amount, as it was when the Arrears
OF Pensions act was passed on a pledge from
the Senator who had it in charge that it
would not cost more than $25, OO0, 600, al
though the Commissions OF Pensions esti-
mated that it would cost $500, OOO, 900.
Up to date it has cost $3.50, 00O, 600 al
ready, and it is certain to yet exceed the
estimate made by Commissioner Bentley.

The House Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads has decided to ask the adoption of
a sweeping resolution calling for all manner
OF information regarding the manage
ment and business of the Northern Pacific
Company. Unless the Government had a
right to know, it is hardly probable that
the members OF the committee would have
assed such a resolution. yet it reads
strange to hear included within the inquiry
the request for information as to the right
OF the stockholders Of the company to pur-
chase and lay out town sites along the line
OF the road. Tt is true that there is in
the resolution an intimation that this
has been done to the detriment OF pre-
viously established towns and cities, but
all the same 1t looks like drag net thrown
to catch information that some one de.
sires to have, but has not the courage to
charge specifically against the company. If
the Northern Pacific or any other road has
Disseminated against the general public to

holders the people should know it and
know it at once, but that surely cannot in
terfere with the rights OF stockholders TO in.
vest just where they choose. That por-
ton oithe resolution seems strange.

Mr.. Gilbert is perfectly right about the ev'is

Hon. Thomas 1. BAYARp, Secretary oil
State, has briefly given for publication his
views on the troubles between the Amer.
can fisherman and the Canadian authori.
ties. There is nothing in the talk that was
not to have been expected OF the great
statesman who occupies the first chair in
the Presidents Cabinet. It lacks the gush
OF Blaine, but it has the true manly ring
of a manly American, and cannot fail to
have a good effect upon the people of the
country. That they are excited upon
the action OF the Canadian Government
cannot be denied, and that the
seeming delay on the part OF
our Government was creating some alarm
is equally true. For this reason the recent
letter and interview OF Mr.. Bayard will be
hailed with delight. It shows that the
administration has not been unmindful OF
it's duties, and has taken all the necessary
steps to maintain the rights of it's citizens.
just what the outcome will be can only
now be a prophecy, but it is sac to
assume that at an early day the American
schooners can ride at anchor in Canadian
ports without fear of arrest or
m~olestation. This one point settled.
it only remains for the two governments
to reach a satisfactory solution of the
troubles that o appear SO formidable
and threatening. That the American part
the negotiation will be conducted with
frmness is foreshadcwed in the remarks of
the Secretary of State, and as the PROPOSE
tions involved are very simple, it will not
take as much diplomacy as it will nerve to
settle the matter. Neither the President
nor his premier are lacking in courage, both
moral and physical.

THE troublesome Bourbons are again

THE troublesome Bourbons are again
trying to make mischief in Europe. This
time Don Carlos, from his safe retreat in
Paris, has issued a manifesto against the
infant heir OF Queen Christina. The bonn
bastic utterances Of the once great house
may not have any effect, but the fact that
no opportunity is lost for the promulga-
ton OF them shows that the Monarchy OF
Spain and the Republic OF France are in con-
slant dan er ofan outbreak. In bothcoun-
tries there are always or inland number OF
dissatisfied and ambitious spirits who have
a following, and who are ever ready to lead
a foriorn hope in the shape OF revolutions.
The manifesto of Don Carlos may prove
entirely harmless, as the Pope has become
sponsor for the infant heir. yet it serves to
keep alive his pretensions and to hold to-
gether his admirers and friends. The
tenacity Of the survivors OF the Opposed
dynasties is something wonderful, and they
lose OF no opportunity OF plotting treason
and revenge.

In a recent sermon, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, referring to the existing social agi.
tation, took occasion to use the following
remarkable language: "Our institutions
are tough enough to bear the stress and
shock. l would not shut our gates against
any one. Let the Anarchists come! Let
tie Socialists come! Let the Communists
come! Let the craziest OF theorizers come!
We a eat them all and digest them into
American citizens" This may be a very
good doctrine for the sensational preacher
to promulgate, but it will hardly meet with
favor even in the godly city OF churches. 1t
is possible the classes referred to can be
eaten and digested, but the Am arican peo-
pie are not ambitious to feed on such tough
cattle. There should be q more stringent
law against them than was ever enforced
against the American hog in Germany.

LATEST adv,ces from England Indicate
that Mr.. Gladstone has either resigned OF
viii! do SO at an early day and demand the
dissolution OF Parliament and an appeal
to the country. The remedy is a heroic
one but is in keeping with the conduct o.
the Premier from the inception OF the Home
Rule measure to the present time. In nc
one particular has he been wanting ir
courage, and while he may not feel justified
in trusting the Commons, he does
not hesitate to 60 to the peopl,
the fountain head of political power. II
may be hat a defeat awaits him, vet thu
election cannot fail to show that the cause
OF Ireland has gained immensely in tn
popular mini, and that it is bound to in
crease rather than retrograde. In fact, al
near as can be judged from this side, not
w~ithstanding the threatening attitude o
Parliament, the cause is in better shap'
to-day than ever. Revolutions never g

JAMES G. BLAINE has rushed into print
with a meaningless letter on the subject OF
the fishery troubles. While the topic is
one upon which every American has a
right to hold and express a pronounced
opinion, it cannot be made the medium OF
demagogues for keeping their name before
the public. During a long official career
Blaine posed before the people as a would
be exponent OF q vigorous foreign policy,
but neither the records of Congress, the
files OF the State Department now on our
statute books are weighed down with any
evidences OF his work in that direction.
As a matter OF fact Mr.. Blaine when he
m to be judged in the light OF history
will be rated as q third-class politician,
whose principal charm a a fine physique
n winning manner, and whose ability
was like unto that OF a cat or an acrobat
into seemingly tight places and
either squirming out or landing on his feet.
Generally he was known as a Republican,
only, however, because it was policy-but
in the detail of party work he was never
accused OF either principle or consistency.
