The report that the President, in his me ssage 10 Congress, will sug gcst that the entire internal reye- nue system be aboiis he'd can hardly be founded on fact. This would undoubtedly please d good many Southern k, publicans and most ol tbe Southern Democrats, but ii would not be acceptable to the masses of the Republicans of the north. Besides the whole of tie internal taxes could not be spared. They produce about $I30,000. eco a year, while the excess of receipts of revtnue from all sources over the ordinary expenditures of the Gov ernment and the sinking fund pay ments is not much above half this amount, Very little if any more than $75.000,000 in revenues can be dispensed with without creating q deficit. Both parties favor the abolition of the internal tax on to- bacco, which produces, in round figures, about $3O,0OO,0OQ. This would permit the reduction or re- moval of the duties on that pro- duct, which would bring the reduc- lion of the revenues from tobacco alone up to about $40.0O0,CO0. The remaining S35,000,O00 which could be remitted could be taken from su- gar, coupled with a few raw mate rials not competing with domestic products which might be put on t:le free liSt-GlObe- Democrat.
 Is it possible a Republican ad- minislration is going to steal Dem- ocratic principles, and follow in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland? Should MT. Harrison, in his mes sage to Congress, recommend this measure, it would be 3n emphatic of the foresight (Sam Randall to the contrary, notwith- standing.) and statesmanship of Mir. Cleveland. Such an endorse ment by the Republican party, ought to carry MT. Cleveland into the Presidential chair in 1892.

The Tariff and The Trusts.

It is theory that a nation may
 well pay high price for it's indus
 trial independence of the rest of
 the world, and that patriotism
 should persuade its citizens to pay,
 at least for time, higher prices for certain commodities than other na- tions pay, in order to secure the immense advantages of industrial independence. This Is the most engaging, because not wholly mer- cenary argument for high tariff. But 1t IS sentimental, not practical.
 In practice, just in the degree that high tariff tends to secure that independence, the independence is abused to the selfish interests of q class. The abuse is expressed in the word trAsts. Are they patrio- tic? Are they formed for the pub lie benefit or for private advantage? Are the prices which, like all mo- nopoiies, they can command, the price of greater National indcpen- dence or a tribute paid to monopo- lists? Yet are they not in this coun- try the simple, natural and inevit- able result of the industrial situa- tion produced by high tariff? It is supposed that except for such a tariff they would be generally or ganized? The natural corrective is foreign competition. If it be ar gned that such competition would merely tend to international trusts with the same ends in view, that is only to say that the evil would be- come so vast that it would be pro- hibited as against public policy. Laws to prevent combinations to raise prices are proper and familiar But the discussion of the subject of trusts will inevitably deepen the that a high tariff, by its necessary results, produces the ef- tects of such combination. liar per's Weekly.

 To characterize the above editor will only say that the man who privately professes to be a strong Republican, yet daily grinds out ideas directly the reverse of his be- lief, and daily attacks members of the party to which he claims alie- glance, is fully equal to the libel ous attacks referred to and the many others not before referred to. It is part of his business.

American Congress.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The at tention of the department is. being called by cQusuls abroad to the feeling aroused in Europe over the approaching congress of American nations. Many newsp per clippings have reached the department show ing that the foreign press foresees as q result 1.-the congress the estab- lishment of relations between the United StMes and the Central and South American nations which will stimulate commercial intercourse, and so jeopardize the trade now eni"yed by European nations. The English press has not been particu- larly interested in the subject, but the German, Austrian.

AriZOna'S Climate.

The next time that John H. Mill CT grows fat he will probably do so in his own domicile, or at least will use every precaution not to 9q so when abroad. John is Michigan der, who in April last approximate ly approached the mathematical de linition of a line as something which has length but no breadth nor thickness.
 He had long fondled q desire to grow fat and had heard that Ari- zona air was peculiarly fitted to ac- cOmplish his purpose. He pur- chased a return ticket over the At lantic and Pacific road and went on his way full of hope. John was so thin that the c 'nductor paid particular y attentive to iim lest he should be blown through one Of the open windows and the newspa- pers howl for his own indictment for manslaughter in having per mltted such a thing.
 Miller did not blow out of the window. He had will power enough to counteract the effect of the wind and he clpng to his seat. He reach ed Arizona in good time and stay ed there until he began the home voyage. Arizona had done for him all that he had anticipated He grew brold and stout until his friends hardly recognized him. On his return he unfortunately chanced to meet the conductor with whom he had travelled on his outward jour ney. When he presented the ticket the conductor looked at him quiz zically and said:
 That's all right for MT. Miller. but where is your ticket? 1 don'i see Miller. I'm willing to believe he's around here somewhere, but, as I've got no time to hire micro scope to hunt for him, I'll take 1t for granted"

A Problem from Arizona.

Washington, September 10.-
 Hon. John Weir, of Tucson, Ariz., is in the city to urge settlement
 of difficulty that is just now pug zling Gov. Wolfey. The Democrat ic local officials who are still draw ing salaries insist that their sue cessors can not be appointed by the Governor until the Territorial Leg islature meets to confirm them.
 Hence they propose to remain in office. Gov. Wolfiey wants to know if there is not sufficient Federal authority which may be exercised to cause the immediate retirement of his Democratic subordinates. Mr. Weir submitted the matter to Secretary Noble and Attorney Gen eral Miller to-day, and together they called upon the President. Since Arizona is still a Territory of the United States the Attorney General decides that the Governor may summarilv remove his subur- dinates and appoint their success sors at once, and that their confir- nations may await the assembling of the Territorial Legislature. Mr, Weir also urged that the Admins traiion stand firm for the exclusion of Mexican lead ores and the pro tectIon of American miners in Mon tana as well as Arizona.

CORPORAL TANNER went little too far at Milwaukee on the pension question when he said: "I tell you, comrades, this SIP month, small as it may seem, will often preserve the virtue of some dead comrades widow" This was more than the old veterans could stand, and there was a howl of indignation from the entire encampment when the bigot- ed and intolerant Commissioner put the value of soldiers widows virtue at SIP a month.

THE New York World pays the following fattering tribute to the Pennsylvania Democracy: There l., no uncertain sound in the declara- tion of the Keystone Democrats. Like their brethren in Ohio, and everywhere else this year where Democrats have assembled to pro- claim their principles and policy. they strike clear and strong the keynote of reform. No usurpatiOr or centralization of power in the Federal Government; no taxation for surplus no tariff for bounties no trusts; tax reduction through tariff reform no infringement oi personal liberty; no discrination against labor in legislation or ad ministration no misuse of public funds; ballot reform in the interest of free and pure elections-these are the demands of the Pennsyl- yania Democrats. There is no Old Whig moss on these young Key stone Democrats, They are Anti Republicans. not Assistant Repub- licans, from the ground up. The Democrats are at last getting to- gether. If they stand together and fight together they will win to- gether.

Governor WOlfley'S Defense.

We publish by request the fol lowing letter of Governor Wolfley's in answer to charges made by tie Tombstone Epitaph and the Ph9 nix Gazette.
 PHGNIX, Sept. 9, 1889.
 To the Editor of the Phoenix Her aid: I have heretofore relrained from taking notice of attacks on myself, either as an official or in dividually, but the recent misrepre- Sentations of the Tombstone Epi taph and the Phoenix Gazette are oi such a nature that they may mis- lead people. l therefore ask all fair-mlnded men to read the 0fficiai correspondence as published in the iterald of September 9th, and the Gazette of September 7th, beforr believing that 1 have deliberately given out q lie" In justice to Gen Churchill I will say that he did not know of the letters 1 had written until afterwards, nor did 1 Bsk his advice in relation to them.
 The evening before writing the libelous editorials of the Eth and Sth instant, the editor of the Ga zette, John Dunbar, admitted to me that he had no idea that We could gain admission under this Consti- tutional Convention. He also ad- mitted to me that the lack Of any control or limitatiOn to the amount of expense that the convention and that the opinions of the Atior- ney General and Assistant Attorney General fully justified me in not calling the convention.
 At that time 1 told said editor that before the trial of the Auditor case, I had fully advised Judge Kibbey of all the opinions that l had that related to the subject, in cluding those referred 10, believing  that it was only fair to the Judge that he should know them.
 In relation to my Louisiana life, l went there Tn commercial busi- ness in October, 1865, and lived there until 1872, nearly seven years. During that time 1 was United States Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue from about April, 1867, to s 4ptember, 1867, and was United States Assessor of Internal Reve- nue of the New Orleans District from about August, 1868, tu April, 1869, being about one year in all, and my record at the Treasury De partment is first class as any one will find upon proper inquiry |; Gen. Grant having afterWard offered me the Supervisorship of Internal Rev enue of all the Southern States.
 Except to vote 1 never took part in politics in Louisiana during the seven years 1 lived there. In jus nee to the gentlemen whose names nave been dragged in as well as 10 myself, I will say that no man has a dollar toward my ex-

So far as can be gathered from the Phoenix newspapers 1t this writing, the subsidy for a railroad to Prescott was carried by an over wheIming majority. In this effort to extend its commercial impor- tance the people of Maricopa coun
