STANFORD'S IDEA.

Bishop Newman has adopted the land theories of Senator Stanford and the Democratic press is bowling at his heels. The idea of making farm mortgages the basis of national banking system is new and novel, but it is not as absurd as the subsidized press of the country would have it appear. Indeed, it is based on sound financial sense. It doesn't suit the speculator, but the man who wants safe foundation to the National finances raises no objection. The farm is the basis of all financial activity and National prosperity. If a circulation based on silver bullion, why not one based on liens on the farms of the country?
 The National banking system which the Republican party gave the country is the financial triumph of modern times. The extinguishment of the National debt means death to the sys- tenn at an early date. The phenomena premium on government bonds has already crippled it. A new idea was needed and Senator Stanford may have furnished it. Whether he has or not it is one that is beginning to command serious attention and is not now treated in the frivolous manner it was when first enunciated.
 Silver cannot be made the basis for National bank notes. The silver men are not seeking relief for silver as much as they are contending for great financial theory--the equality of silver with gold as the circulating medium of the country. They consent to the issu- ing of treasury certificates based on silver bullion as matter of convenience, just as valid check represents cash in the bank on which it is drawn. To store silver and make it the basis of bonds would be to divert it from its an- cient and proper uses. What then is there upon which to predicate the tonds securing the circulation of national banks that will compare with the farms of the land? There is no industry that contributes so much to the welfare of the people. There is none that employs so many people. There is no other that has received so little consideration, and none that so urgently needs cheap money. Why not loan the surplus moneys of the Government on the farms of the country at 2 or 3 per cent. in- terest per annum? Isn't that better than to pay the bond-holders from 28 to g per cent. premium on their secu- rites?
 As a business proposition MT. Stan fOrd's idea would seem to commend it. self. It is certainly too important to be dismissed in flippant way. It will be heard of again and it is not safe to wager that ridicule will kill it.

the Territory. They are both repre-. sentative men of their respective parties but, what is much more important, they are representative business men, of the highest standing in the com munities in which they live and with unblemished regulations. They are men of affairs, of recognized business qualifications and preeminent executive ability. The Worlds Fair will be a business enterprise, requiring the ser vices of business men, fact which the Governor seems to have borne in mind.
 Beyond this, Mayor Coats represents the soldier element, to which the Gov ernor himself belongs, and MT. Zeck- endorf's appointment is graceful recognition of the Hebrew race, an ele- ment of considerable magnitude in the population of the Territory and one that has always been foremost in commerce and banking and, indeed, everything that has tended to, build up and advance the importance of Arizona.
 HE, REPUBLICAN has no doubt that the appointees as alternates will be men of equal eminence and acceptability and in their hands the interests of Arizona at Chicago in 1898 will be amply taken care of. All that is now needed is that the people of the Territory uphold the hands of their Commissioners to the fullest extent.

JOURNALS AND JOURNALISTS.

THE REPUBLICAN has already caused
 an awakening all along the line. It has
 accomplished so much good, at least.
 THE Florence Enterprise is journal
 that would be credit to any country, editorially and geographically. OUR esteemed contemporary, the Ca zette, holds high rank as an authority on alfalfa, according to the Nogales Herald.
 THE Mohave Miner is published in a community comprising less than five hundred souls. It is better paper than many Eastern towns of 5,0O6 can boast of. Mir. Funston is issuing a splendid paper and judging from its patronage the people of Kingman ap- preciate it.
 THE Clifton Clarion is again dead, this time because Steve Dye, the lessee, skip ped. The papers down that way are making it hot for Dye, who is alluded to as "bilk." Will Henry, his printer, says he will wager what is due him, that Dye, who is a little man, flor size and weight can carry more red liquor than any man in the Territory"
 TIE Southwestern Sto ;kman has just entered upon the seventh year oi its publication. The Stockman is the only journal of its kind in the Territory and, despite the depression in the stock range industry, it is prospering, as it deserves to do: MT. Hunsaker is giving the peo- pie of Wilcox a paper of which they have occasion to be proud.
 SAYS the Ouray (Col.) Solid Muldoon: Albert K. Cutting, the romancer who wanted to whip all Mexico some months since, was severely beaten by his wife at Spokane Falls, last week. Mrs. c. had declined to support the rat" printer any longer, and, in resorting to force, he underestimated her abilities as thumper. Would there were more Mrs. Cuttings"
 THE death of Ottoman H. Rothacker, which occurred at Omaha few days ago, removed from journalism one of its most shining lights. In the use of pure English he had few equals, and he was a clear, logical thinker, as well as rheto- rician. Though he detested the ordi- nary routina of newspaper work, his twenty years' service in the sanctum left the impress of his individuality on the journalism of the west. Beginning his career in the home of his boyhood, Cincinnati, he worked successively in Louisville, Ky, Denver, Colorado, and finally at Omaha. His life was wild and stormy one, the natural outworking of so impulsive nature. The end was not in keeping with the natural hopes that talent 80 great justified. The writer, who engaged him in many combat, cannot but regret to see some of the living coyotes kicking the dead lion. Roth. had his faults, but he had virtues that more than counterbalanced them. Those who knew intimately will be content to "write his faults in the sands of the sea, and engrave his virtues on the tablets of memory"

TUcsoN is moving in the direction of 6 sanitarium and pleasure resort on a large scale. It is proposed to erect on the military plaza or some other eligible site handsome structure, designed and built with especial reference to the eli matic conditions. In the clear, bracing atmosphere of the second city founded on the continent, such an enterprise should prove great success. There are few schemes in which Tucson cap ital could be so profitably placed.

ARIZONA GRAIN AND FRUITS.

It is safe to say that all the valleys
 and mesas or table lands of Arizona can
 be irrigated and made wonderfully pro.
 ductive, either in pastoral or agricul-
 tural products, incident to climate of
 almost perpetual spring. This is made so by the easy facilities for water storage
 that exist in all parts of the Territory to an extent rarely, if ever, found in any other country where irrigation is re- quired. In all cases where water has
 been brought on these lands the results have been astonishing, so rich and inex- haustible is the soil and so genial is the climate to all vegetable, cereal or arbo- real growth. In alfalfa, three and four crops, of two tons to the acre each, of the very best and most nutritious hay, is the rule. The grain fields, after yielding harvest of two to three thous- and pounds per acre in May or June, can be irrigated, and will in early fall, give large crop of grain hay from the seed shelled by the harvesting, or they may be allowed to lay by until fall, and then, by irrigation, produce a half or two-thirds crop the following spring This may be repeated for another year and second volunteer crop be raised, making three annual crops from one sowing. This, while each years yield pays to harvest in diminishing ratio, is not to be considered good farming, but as it has been done in SO very many cases, we merely state the fact to show the productiveness of the soil. Wheat and barley are the principal grain crops. Wherever grain has been sown, oats follow, seeming to be almost indiginous to this soil and climate. But

ALUMINIUM is daily growing more and more plentiful and is a real danger to silver. A firm in New York is prepar- ing to manufacture it on an extensive style in the shape of table service in- stead of silver. It looks as we'll as sil- yer, is lighter, indestructible and never tarnishes. For many of the uses to which silver is applied aluminium will give greater satisfaction. The miners of Arizona should keep their eyes open for this mineral.

THE Tucson Citizen has the following With the press of the Territory almost q unit on this proposition (statehood) Congress can have no valid reason for refusing to admit her into the Union." This reads all right, but states are not created that way. Politics have consid- earble to do with the creation of new states. Organization and intelligently directed effort alone can win statehood. Newspaper gab never will.

EoR TRuE DEMOCRACY.

II is natural that the same persons
who are interested In asserting that there
are dissensioHs In the Democratic party
should also do all in their power to pro
mote what they profess to see. They
have nightmare, they see ghost, and
they stralghtaway abuse other people,
who are more prudent, wiser and more
healthy, for not seeing the sans, or any
other ghost. They attempt to create a
dissension, which, for reasons Of their
own, they would like to be able TO use to
frlghten the timid.
It is natural that these persons should
have some interest in attempting 10
classify Democrats who are anxious to
promote harmony and good feeling
among all sections Of the state, to dis
seminate the true sentiments of honest,
wise and unselhsh Democrats and TO ex-
plain and impress the principles Of
economy, justice and equality Of the
glorious old Democratic party, as parti-
sans against some particular candidate
or some selfish scheme which II suits
their purpose to ad Tocate.
These persons use renegsdes and Re-
publicans alike to cultivate a dissenslon
which they are willing either TO create or
to promote.
1t is to combat this still-hunt for dis
sension where no dissenslon exists
where there is nothing to dissent from,
where, indeed, perfect harmony prevails
that the EVENING JOURNAL has written
several articles TO show the folly, the
meanness, and the self-boasting trlckery
Of those who see a dissensUn where they
esteem that their private interests would
be promoted by dissension.
The position Of the EVENING JOURNAL
is only misunderstood where It is an
tagonistic to this spirit Of selfshness
and disruption. The EVENING JOURNAL
does not adhere TO men or to candidates
for Office. II adheres to the principles
Of the Democratic party. It advocates
men. only when thereby IL advocates
those sound. well tried doctrines OF po.
litieal economy which jefferson stated
and Jackson, Cleveland and thousands Of
other great and good men have illus
trated
The EVENING JOURNAL is not in the
business Of advocating men. If candi-
dates for Office are Democrats, are honest,
are intelligent, patriotic, truthful, up.
right and unselfsh, they naturally align
themselves with the EVENING JOURNAL.
II candidates exalt the good Of the party
and the truth and beauty Of Democratic
principles, they come to the EVENING
JOURNAL as naturally as ducks 20 to
water
When a candidate shall have been
nominated there will be no doubt of the
favor Of this paper. Till candidate
has been appointed we are for the party
for principle.
We are FOR every good Democrat and
we are not against any good Democrat
we love every one Of them. It is only
that other thing that we hate.
