The Ladies Chautauqua Reading
 Club

It may toe of interest to the JOURNAL | MINER readers to know something of l the work the Prescott Ladies Chauta- | qua Club is accomplishing these winter 1 days With two exceptions, the mem- bers of the society are not taking tine regular Chautauque course, but have | selected such studies as they hope to derive the most immediate benefit from, history and American literature being considered of first importance. TOvary the exercises, pamphlets upon travel and art were selected from the regular Chautauqua Spare-Minute course. One of these pamphlets is usually read, at each session of the society, by mem- Der designated by the president. Mem bers are requested to bring whatever articles they may find, suggested by, or hearing some relation to the Club read ings. In this way, they have had most interesting discussions upon art in Italy and Greece, particularly of Chris tian art.
 The past few we ks, as subjects for Club readings and discussions they have had the 'The New England Authors" New York Authors" and "Southern Authors" which have been found very entertaining.
 In addition to the above work. each member Is given country, upon which she Is expected to keep herself thor oughly posted, and report, from week to week, the current events and, if a for eign country, any items of interest upon the customs and manners of the people.
 One of the most pleasant features of the exercises of each meeting is roll call. As each members name is called, alphabetically, she responds with quo- tation from some poet.
 The society is Democratic-Republi- can Tn form of government-electing its officers by a majority vote Mrs. F. A Tritle fills the presidential chair, and Mrs. A. E. Foote is secretary. As there are no funds, each member p,o- viding her own books, there is no use for treasurer, consequently no strife for the position. The Club has now en- rolled twenty-one names, and the mem- bership Is incssasing.
 The ladies are to be congratulated upon having so successfully organized and placed upon a firm working basis, club, from which the benefit tobe de- rived by each individual member, is of incalculable value, and of which, view ed as a social organization. there can be but one opinion. The club was very fortunate in the selection of its officers, as Mrs. Tritle makes & very efficient presiding officer, and she, and the secre- tary, Mrs. FOote, devote s great deal of time in preparing a programme each week whereby each meeting Is of greater interest than preceding ones. The next meeting of the club will be held at the residence of Mrs. A. Aitken next ! Saturday, February 25th.

 Ed. H. Cook, @ former Prescott boy, has caught on in good shape in Gila county, having been appointed probate judge and county superintendent of schools of that county. MT.

A hatchet, which from its antiquated appearance, may have been the one used by George Washington in cutting down cherry trees, was found this morning by a citizen of West Prescott, and left at this office, where the owner can procure it by proving property and paying for this notice. Should it not be claimed, the finder has generously donated it to this office, to be used as an emblem of truth and veracity, for which the paper is noted.
 piece of vandalism was rerpetrated last evening, or early this morning, on the front of Gee. H. Curry's jewelry store, which is deserving of the severest punishment if the perpetratOr can be discovered. Some one took knife and deliberately whittled a great slice from the painted and vanished wood work underneath the window. Suspi- cion points strongly to boy, who was lettering around the premises.
 We have never heard worse impreca- tiOns heaped against any one than those against the, as yet unknown, individual who defaced the windOw-sill on George H. Curry's jewelry store. It is hoped that the malicious individual, whoever he is, may be caught and made an ex ample of, as it is poor encouragement for the display of enterprise to have it so maliciously and wantonly defaced as in this case. The probability is that the guilty party will be detected, and if he is he will be prosecuted to the full ex- tent of the law.

 l.. c. Hughes, editor of the Tucson Star, is great admirer of the fair sex and, possessing comedy features, Is in turn admired by them, and he proudly says that Tucson can boast of large coterie of intelligent, handsome and modest young ladies, and the number Is rapidly increasing as the health pros pectors come from the east. There is no one thing which civilizes new com munity more rapidly and permanently than young ladies of sterling worth.
 The AtcGison, Topeka X Santa Fe company has ordered 40 odd lOcomo- lives within a fortnight, and has order ed 1900 freight cars and fifty locomo- lives for the Atlantic X Pacific. This does not look much like the Santa Fe company was trying to wreck the At lantic & Pacific road, and it is also a strong indication that the Santa Fe will continue to operate the Atlantic X Pa cific -Albuquerque Citizen.
 A change in the passenger rates from various points on its line will be an- nounced soon by the Atlantic X Pacific.

Who win Be Fooled This Year1

Driven from their former position by the
liquor and monopoly powers. and forced to
contradict their own record. the Republic
cans hope to hide their own duplicity and
weakness by raising the false cry of free
trade" 1t is adeliberate falsehood. devised
by the politicians. and the sober sense of
the people will not be deceived by it. The
great mass of thinking Republicans. who in
dorsed the platform of 1884 and approved
the manly declarations OF Garfield and
Arthur in their messages. are not going to
stultify themselves by swallowing their own
convictions at the behest of the liquor
power of 1883. And the secondary argu-
ment OF the Republican party in this CAM
paign is q lie. The cry shat they are oppos-
ing the saloon is a false cry. Its falseness
is proved by the free whisky plank; it is
proved again by the simple mathematical
fact that no party can make Roadway
against the saloon that depends upon the
saloon vote for existence. Thus we have
the spectacle of u great political party. Of
honored traditions. but now under vicious
control by the substitution Of vote bidding
instead OF live issues. going before the peo-
pie on platform of double falsehood. What
will the popular verdict be? We have faith
in the intelligence and virtue OF the great
mass of the American people. Abraham
Lincoln once said: You can fool some Of
the people all of the time. and all of the peo-
pie some Of the time; but you can't fool all
of the people all the time" And the Repub-
lican party will afford another historic verifi-
cution of this quaint statement Of our coun-
try's greatest man. But how long will they
continue to fool some of the people. and who
is going to be fooled this year? These are
practical questions for our. Republican tenn
perance friends.-HOnae. 3

FAITH IN THE FUTURE.

Triumph la 180a-His Abatement of
tho Republicans.

Geaerat Fisk Thinks Prohibition will
Triumph la 1S0:-His Arralgnmeute Of
tho Republicans.
General Clinton b. Fisk. tho Prohibition
candidate for the Presidency, was asked ii
there wasn't u possibility. howevev remote,
that he would yet retire from the campaign.
49,. Deaahls the only thing that can take me
ally replied. Il was IL Republican -heart and
soul from the formation of that party. clear
through the war times, until it became evil
dent that It's era Of progress was past. The
party leaders refused to permit it's rank and
lille. where the majority were still strongly
IN favor OF moral decency in all forms. to
get the opportunity to vote against intern
perance. At length it became evident that
tne Republican party would not make a
strand stan AGAINST rum. It was not until was
mind to accept prohibition nomination.
Having done SO. nothing on earth shall
swerve me from what deem the path OF
duty. ''-. "
Take the anti-saloon Republicans. es-
pecially such men as Window, Noah Davis
and their associates They have been con-
stant!y telling us that the Republican party
was the temperance party: that thew were
lor prohibition whenever it could be obs
tanned; But when State comes to vote on
have failed to use their influence in its he
half. rs noticeably in Michigan. where it
was an easy matter for. say. ton Republican
leaders. whom know personally, to have
secured the triumph of the amendment for
prohibition by $1,000 majority. But they
stood aloof and talked high license, winked
at the tremendous fraud ut the ballot box
and saw prohibition overthrown. 1t was a
sad blow to the cause. 800
Judge Noah Davis. and hundred men
like him in the Republican party. could lead
his party out on the road to victory; It is
true they might suffer temporary defeat:
but in taking position that would drive
every saloon man out .ot the Republican
ranks. they would draw from the Demo-
cratic camp. too. and would keep in their
own party millions Of voters who will be
sure to vote the Prohibition ticket in 1883.
To me IL seems unfortunate that the Repub-
lican party has not taken up this issue. and
made the prohibition OF the liquor traffic a
controlling force in politics. building all
other interests around it. rs I cannot help
but regard it as the greatest question Of
the day. We must destroy the power of the
ram-shop in politics. or it will destroy the
Republic.
Il think the Prohibition vote in 1888 will
be three times greater than in 1884. The
vote in New York will be more than doubled.
l am looking for Il disintegration of parties
that will make the cause triumph In 1892.
Every observer who lived in slavery times
| can easily see the same forces at work.
