New York Commercial Advertiser,
(rep) The platform is astonishing
in It's proposals. .s, as We have said,
unrerublican and un- American. 1t is
a platform in direct contradiction of
the history, the principles, the teach-
ings and the oft reiterated promises OF
the party IN whose name conspiracy
OF INSCRIPTIONS politicians has put it
forth. Lincoln would have repudiat-
Ell it with disgust and loa;hing, be-
cause 1t antagonIzes individual liberty
and the rights Of the people III the
interest OF favored and would.be
aristocratic class. Henry Wilson
would never have assented to 1t.
Salmon L Chase would have acorned
it, Garfield, Grant. Arthur, McCul-
Tough and Folger left words on record
which condemn its most vital parts,
and We mistake the character Of in
telligent republicans of to-day if many
thousands Of them do not condemn it
with their ballots az their representa-.
tive newspapers have through many
months condemned It's suggestions in
advance.
In another article, headed What
Are We Going to Do About it?" the
same paper says What are we-the
people of the United States-going to
do about it, We will tell you plainly,
gentlemen monopolists, who desire to
tax us for your enrichment and to
make of yourselves our aristocratic
rulers, We are going to enforce the
American idea which all great parties
in this country have hitherto respect
ed, and TO which only cranks. anar-
chists and communists have ventured
10 oppose themselves. We are going
to stand by the American doctrines Of
individual liberty, personal quality of
right, the economical administration
OF a government that confines itself
to the immediate purposes of govern
ment. and the right Of the people to
be relieved Of taxation when the
government has no legitimate need
for the proceeds Of taxation. We are
going to oppose your schemes to tax
us for your benefit. We are going to
contest your right TO make use Of our
oppression and your advantage"

is not great man or great political
genius. but nobody need believe that
he is an insignificant candidate. Ev-
erybody who has ever belonged to the
republican party can support him
Stalwarts, half.breeds, Blaine men,

without any sacrifice Of feeling. =
Levi P. Morton having been absent as
minister to France during the whole
period of Garheld's and Arthur's ad.
ministration, he is not involved in the
bitter factional fights Of that time,
and there is nothing in his nomination
to interfere with the conciliatory quail

the democrats that they will have tc
put forth their best efforts and bring
out their utmost strength. It is nc

! What have We Fought for ffecd5m in rul
prime,
Al last TO dodge and ralier with public
crime -
Nor does the republican party in
viite or deserve our aid on other
grounds Il has only with extreme
reluctance abandoned Blaine as can.
didate. and its leading newspaper or.
gsns, without febuke, continue to pro.
test that 'Blainism is republicanism.
We find too many reasons to accept
the shameful confession as truthful.
The men who were Blaines fuglemen
in 1884 have still potent influence
in the direction OF the party. and
Blaine a1e protection remain the
only ideas which awaken any enthu-
sissm in the republican ranks.
For the working out of the reforms
which the Times believes TO be the
chief issues of our politics the demo-
cratic party. with its present candi-
dates, is the "better instrument" to
use Mr.. Tldens expression. It's can.
didates are incomparably superior to
those Of the republicans, and the an.
nouncement Of purposes with which
it enters the contest is more satisfac-
tory, and in respect to the dominant
issue is firmly right, while the other
is hopelessly wrong. As regards civil.
service reform, though We have had
occasion to criticise the present ad-
miuistration for some of its errors
and failures. We have greater conf.
dence in Mr.. Cleveland e sincerity and
fidelity than in the written professions
Of party whose leaders are unable
to speak OF the reform without a sneer.
The Times will give Cleveland and
Thurman its hearty support, and will
do what lies in its power, and it is
not commonly an inactive newspaper
in a presidential contest, to make their
majority such that there will be no
doubt about it the morning after elec.
tion."

The valley of the Colorado river ex
tends up river to StevensoRs Island

RADIO River Canal Company" have
located their ditch beading: The hills

valley in that direction and forming a
northern terminus Of the same, not
far Below Castle Dome landing. That
portion Of the valley lying north OF
the ella river and above Yuma is
called the upper valley and contains
about 10000 acres of good land formed
by deposit Of sediment from the an
nual overfews of the rivers during the
long ages Of the past.

The year 1887 mas been Of much
Importance to Arizona, for it will
nrove to be the corner stone of the
.utare prosperity OF the territory.
There has been much substantial adj
rance made during the year. The
completion of the Phoenix l. Maricopa
.ailrsad, also tbs Prescott Il Atlantic
-ailrsad, and Mineral Belt has been
built q considerable distance, and the
prospect for the construction of many
niles in the territory during this year
is good.
The most fortunate feature in the
1 slopment of A iona has b en- in to-
alter of reclalmins lands to agricsl
-urs. Many Thousands Of acres Of LAND
IA the Gila valley between Yuma and
Florence has been or is being placed

ave been formed for che purposa OF
isnstuctiug irrigating canals, are now
actively engaged in carrying on the
work. 1t is safe to psrdict that in le 8
han three years Pima county will be
second if not the first agricultural
.ounty Of Arizona.
Mining throughout the territory has
xperienced a substantial and perms-

There are thousands Of acres OF land
in this territory that are now consl-
dered valueless whcih In the course OF
= few years, through mans ingenuity
will be brought under cultivation and
made productive. Although the Oldest
and most honored village in the terri
tory, Tucson has apparently slumbered
for years., or at least her eyes have
been closed to the agricultural posi-
billties surrounding her. The Santa
Cruz river flowing by her borders and
which drains a large area. of country,
carries large volume of water, but
like many Arizona streams it flows be
meath the sands which forms the bed
of the river.
An enterprise was inaugurated re-
sently, with Geo. J. Roskruge, for
mer resident Of PRESCOTT, and man
fuh of energy and enterprise, at Its
head, to utilize tets water for irrigation
purposes. We are glad to note the
