THE TnAvEsTY ON HOME RULE.

The Democracy of Arizona and oth- CT Territories were rebuked by the acton of the recent Democratic Ma tional Convention by its adoption of the platform of 1884 AS PRESIDENT CLEVELAND INTERPRETED IT, which eff fectually shelved the Territorial de- mand that Federal officers for the Territories should be restricted to cit azens previously residents thereln." Mr. Cleveland ignored that plank of the platform of 1884, and decided that there was no limit or restriction to his authority. The epilogue to Cato, No pent-up Utica contracts your powers, " recurred to him and he acted upon that conviction. And now the cen vention of 1888 afirms his understand ing of the restriction to the appoint ment of citizens of the Territory as a mere lapsu< lingu@, and shakes Utica, and the plank in the platform tha$ confines hIs selections ''tO citizens of the TcrrltoFes previously residents therein"
 Following is the resolution submit ted by the Territorial delegates at the Convention to the committee on reso- lutlons, and which was ignored:
 RESOLVED, That just and liberal policy should be pursued in reference to the Territories; that the right of self government IS inherent of the peo- pie and guaranteed under the constl- tuition, and that all federal officers ap- pointed to positions of honor and trust m the Territories of the United States and in the District of Columbia should be selected from citizens of the con- munlty where they are to serve.
 In view of the action of President Cleveland in regard to "home rule" and the National Conventions ap- proval of his course, to the members of the late Territorial Democratic Con- vention who were hungry tor home rule, and instructed their delegates to St. Louis to fight for 1t, and who did fight losing battle, we would sug- gest the propriety of their spreading a map of the world upon a camp-stool with view of ascertaining if Arizona and the other Territories are a part of the United States.

It is matter of satisfaction to per sons of all shades of opinion on the tariff question that the Democratic convention, by its endorsement of Geveland's views as expressed Tn his message, aud of the bill at present un- der debate in Congress, has placed the party squarely before the voters ofthe country as favoring very consldera- ble reduction of the tariff, nearly ap- preaching free trade.
 The action of the Chicago conven- tion is foreshadowed by the united action of the Republicans in Congress in opposition to the Mills bill.
 The issue will be placed squarely before voters in November, for thelr verdict which will be final for some years at least, and will either estaO- iish the Democratic party firmly in the control of the national govern tnent, or else restore the Republicans to power.

GOOD WORK.

fn the case of three eff the Agua Zarca train robbers, vengeance has followed close upon tbe heels of crime. Taylor has been delivered to the Mex ican authorities, and his doom, there fore, is no longer in doubt. Two of his accomplices, Manuel Rebles and Moves Miranda, and brother of the former, Guadalupe Robles, who was not implicated in the robbery It is said, were surprised in camp Ia the Whetstone mountains, twenty-five miles west of Tom Gstone, on Wednes- day morning ef last week. by Sheriff Slaughter and Deputy Alvord, and Tn the fight which followed the robbers refusal to surrender, Guadalupe Ro- bles was killed, and Manuel Robles and NievsS Miranda were badly wounded. Manuel Robles managed to escape, but was being closely fol- lowed and his capture IS probable. Miranda was taken to Fairbanks and thence to Nogales to be turned over to the Mexican authorities. With the exception of Manuel Robles, whose wounds it is believed will prove fatal, even if he is not captured, there are only two of the gang notapprehended, and the Tombstone Prospector says it is only question of time until they will be captured,

They had avenged it. But as Effie

at the fearful retribution which SO soon
has overtaken the traitor, she prays to
be forgiven for the thanksgiving that
he nevermore may cross their path. -

THE neatncss and dispatch with
which the women at the great conven-
tions doup all our burning national
questions in about three lines, is worthy
the attention of statesmen who really
love their country.

who performs professionally upon that

The woman of to-day is rapidly TAX
ing her place among the financiers of
our country; entering. without Great
ing any comment those vocations
which, had she entered not many
years ago, would have called forth
much ridicule. Not only has she thus
vcntured to enter the chann.ls former
ly occupied only by men. but has mani
tested her ability to manage and at
tend to the same. We now have in
round numbers about $500 female
physicians practicing in the United
States, while every year those colleges
which admit women are sending out
more graduates, SO that the number is
continually increasing, and many OF
these are gaining a lucrative practice
earning their thousands annually.
Dentistry, too, has an occasional fol-
lower of this sex, and several years
ago the honors of the graduating class
in one of our colleges of dentistry
were awarded to the only woman in
the class.
Law has its pecuniary attractions,
and woman has followed it success
fully in its various branches We also
have an occasional artist or sculptor
who become quite efficient in their art
Woman has been successful in editori-

and magazines are edited by women;
in one of our largest publishing houses
the proprietor is woman. and she has
been very. successful in her MANAGE
mcnt of business affairs; while as re-
portcrs they do not always rank with
the ordinary, for the livestock re-
porter of one of our leading newspa-
pers is Miss Middle Morgan. who is
said to exercise as much discretion and
! judgment in her work as any member
of the stcraer sex; and Colorado has
one whose acquaintances delight in
saying "is the best man reporter in the
State" AS stenographers and type
writer's many find employment and
on almost every railroad we find them
in the capacity of operators OF tele-
graphy.
In the Western States many women
are owners of cattle ranches, which
they oversee with precision and tact,
so that besides those who arc gaining
livelihood by working at those trades
whose majority of laborers are women,
there are many who have entered the
ranks occupied heretofore only by men,
and although laboring under disadvan-
tages, they can successfully cope with
the male element in many instances.
