Last Monday night, at the court
 house, a largely attended and in every way most enjoyable dance was held. On occasions of this sort we believe that we are enabled to bring together a larger number of the fair sex than any other town in the county, and the event above referred to was no exception to the rule. There were thirty eight ladies present, among whom we noticed the Misses Hunter of Stafford, who were escorted by our gallant deputy treasurer. Great preparations are now being made for the next party, which will be held on the evening of the 22d inst, when a big time will be had.
 Wm. Fonda was arrested the past week for branding a calf, which it is alleged did not belong to him. On hls examination be- fore Justice Palm Mir. Fonda was held to appear before the grand jury under bonds of $500.
 The Hotel de Crawford is grad ually filling up, the institution at tn, present time having seven boarders.
 Pablo Palma recently shipped two tons of ore from the Santa Barbara mine, in the Gila range. The ore was shipped to Socorro, N. M., and the returns show that we have rock here in the valley that is not to be sneezed at. The amount shipped brought S314, and netted the owner S52 per ton. Jerome H. Vaughn is now sacking ore from his mine, the Toltec, and will ship to the same place.
 The County School Superintend- ent being convinced that the school census of San Jose district was not correctly taken, ordered new census, and as a result it was found that there were 76 children of school age resident therein.
 Bernardo Weyl, also known as Captain Stud" was visitor here the past week. He left for Cliff ton, where he was formerly a resi- l dent.
 Mir. and Mrs. Solomon and | family, who have been on visit | to Las Cruces, N. M., have re- turned and all are looking well.
 George Lanpher. our harness maker, has proven himself a workman by means of a set of buggy harness which he las just completed for President | Layton. It is a model of fine workmanship and a great credit | to Mir. Lanpher.
 Colonel Courtney came ln from Tucson this week and took away with him to Duncan Probate Judge Fitzgerald, who goes to arbitrate certain difficulties in re- gard to the new ditch they are at that place.
 J. NJ. Moore has started a butcher shop at this place, and will doubtless make a success of t.
 This valley has advantages sur passed by no section for the culti- 7ation of fruits; and that the resi- lents propose to take advantage of this fact is substantially to be proved. Thousands of fruit trees of all kinds are now being set out, md it is only question of time when this portion of the valley will have a reputation second to lone for the raising of fruits.
 Stage travel is good and the .oads are in splendid condition.

The ledge on the Coon mine at Chase creek was cut through the past week and developed a width of eight feet. Mir. Hovey now proposes to sink q shaft on the vein one hundred feet for the pur- pose of further testing its perman- ence. There are no halfway measures about Mir Hovey, and he proposes to demonstrate that he has a mine. He has now over 100 tons of ore on the dump.

Superintendent of Shelters Colquehoun is quite a punster, and can't always resist the tempta- tion to get one off even when he intends to be severe.

THE Decentralization OF SILVER.

A copy of speech delivered in the
United States Senate by Senator Stewart
is received. 1t qnotes from q recent
speech by Senator Sherman in which that
gentleman asserted that silver was de.
monetzed in the light of day, and that
the DILL had been debated for three long
sessions of Congress and considered line
by line. Mr.. Stewart admits that he
was in the Senate at the time of the pass.
age of the act of 1878, which omitted the
silver dollar from the list of coins, and
he thinks it would be we'll for every
member of Congress, if he could plead
that he was ignorant of that transaction,
and the fact that he was in the Senate
requires frem him an apology. He be-
lieved he was safe in saying that the SEN
ate passed it in ignorance of its contents
and effect. Nobody knew that one-half
of the worlds money was to be put out
OF existence; that the creditor class was
to be vastly benefited; that the prosper.
ity of the world was to be checked by
the measure, which the Senator from
Ohio declared was debated for three long
sessions, considered line by line and pre-
cept upon prscept."
Mr.. Stewart quoted from the Congress
ional Globe, to prove that the bill, which
had been prepared by John Jay Knox,
Controller of the Currency, was intro
duced by Mr.. Sherman, and that there
was no debate in regard to the discontin.
uance of the coinage of the silver dollar;
that the bill, like other elaborate meas
ures was passed, none but the Committee
on Finance knowing every detail of it.
In the controversy between Senator
Stewart and Senator Sherman relative to
the characterization act, Mr.. Stewart has
much the best of the argument, because
the proceedings of Congress, as published
in the Congressional Globe at the time,
substantiate his assertion that the discon-
tinuance of the silver dollar was not de-
hated. But the omission of the silver
dollar from the authorized coins was not
the only bad feature of the act of 1873.
For the first time in the history of the
country it prohibited the free coinage of
silver at the minis, and made it a com.
modify like lead or iron with no fixed
value in the markets. Like Senator
Stewart, all who voted for the bill, with
the exception of Senator Sherman and
one or two in the House, claim that they
were ignorant of it's provisions, yet for
some reason best known to themselves,
they have persistently refused to right
the wrong by making the coinage of sill.
yer again free at the minis of the United
States.
When silver was demonetized the Re-
publican party controlled the administra-
tion and both Houses of Congress. Some
Of those who voted for the bill, and their
apologists on this Coast, say they were
ignorant of it's contents and did not
knowingly vote to demonetize silver, yet
on every occasion when bill has been
before Congress to restore silver to it's
former standard, by making it's coinage
free, Republicans, save few honorable
exceptions, have recorded their votes
against the measure.

to the exalted position would give more
satisfaction than that of Judge Thurman.
He is of and with the people, true and
tried friend of the masses and there is
only one objection to his appointment and
that is his age. He was born in 1913 and
is therefore IS years of age. By an act
of Congress passed when the conspiracy
was entered into to reverse the decision
of Chief Justice Chase and a majority Of
the Supreme Court on the unsonstitu'
tionality of the greenback act, law was
passed authorizing Judges of the Supreme
Court to retire with full pay at certain
age. As Judge Thurman has passed that
age it would be urged against his ap.
pointment that he is too old to perform
the duties of the position and might, If
so disposed, retire the next day after his
confirmation with a salary for life. For
that reason it is not probable that he will
be nominated to the Senate and a
younger man will likely be selected.
