Prices were high and sales large, for
melons have been better than usual this
year. So good was the business that the
river men who were engaged in bringing
the melons went back to the York river

handsomely. Then the cold snap set

In process Of construction at the gun
factory in watervliet is a l0-inch gun,
which, when completed, will be n of
the greatest caliber and most wonderful
in its design ever made in this country.
This huge gun will be built according TO
Capt Crozier's latest design CT wire

ordnance department at Washington,
and the present gun is the fourth of its
kind in existence. The work of boring
the gun has been completed, and it will

ends of the wire by electricity. When
completed it is expected that this gun
will throw a $50 pound projectile from
twelve to fifteen miles, the greatest dis

The lesson taught BY the overwhelming
Democratic victories in Tuesdays cleo
tions Is that the rank and file OF the
American people may always be relied
upon &c rebuke the arrogance of IN
bridled political power and eventually
call to sharp account those who have been
untrue TO the great trust reposed in them.
Their indifference to the cause of good
government is more apparent than real
The high handed assumptions of the Re
publican party have gone on for years.
The people have been boldly and success
fully hood Einked. The com biuations be-
tween the manufacturers and the Re
publican national committe have been an
open secret-one side furnishing the
corruption fund and the other the agents
for its distribution. They have seen the
elimination Of shameless political au
daoity in the last congress when the prece-
dents Of 4 century were orerthrown and
the speaker Of the house solemnly
thanked his God that the house was
not n deliberaiive body. They have
seen the Mckinley bill, a measure of the
most intricate construction aud involving
in its influence every citizen of the
American republic, rushed through the
house without pretenso Of debate and
then declared passed by a majority who
we're not present to vote for it. They
have heard it specifically charged that
this bill was the result,of a direct bargain
between the Republican majority and
the manufacturers s%tupendous scheme
OF pillage calculated to develop a fresh
crop of mus broom multi %millionaires
with money wrung from The
pockets OF the people. They bad reason
to know that there were two sides to this
bargain aud # the Republican majority
favored the manufacturers on the one
hand the manufacturers would, on the
other. reoiprocate by furnishing a corrup-
ton fund to abroRate the honest will of
the people. They have heard the inia-
nous proposition advanced that the Re
publicans must do their own registration,
counting and certifieation. and they have
seen the essence of the scheme in the
Lodge force bill, the passage of which
would have entrenched the dominant
party in congressional control with alb
solute disregard of the will Of the people.
They have heard the Republican secre.
tAry OF state assert that the Mckinley
bill would not open the markets OF the
world to a single bushel OF American
wheat or a pound OF American pork; they
have had its true inwardness laid bare by
unsparing Republican hands eveu in the
house. but they have likewise heard
scores upon scores of venal, time-serving
Republicans politicians proclaim jrcm the
stump that without the Mckinley bill

On last Saturday night IN Philadelphia
Secretary Blaine told his audience that a
great responsibility rested upon the PEG
pie of Pennsylvania, for as that state
went, so went the Union in 1892. Quay
was the issue there and Quay typifes the
modern Republican party. Pennsylvania
has gone against Quay's man DelAmater
by about 10000 majority, and there can
be no doubt that the prophecy Of Mr..
Blaine will be literally fulfilled at the ap-
poipted tune.

RRADy,S RESPONSIBILITY.

For the information of the Secretary of the Democratic Club of Tucson we will give him the exact status of Geo. II. Stevens and Peter R. Brady under the law, in relation to their responsi- bility as Prison Commissioners. It has been stated and denied that Peter k. Brady's name is on Geo. il. Stevens bond, and it is also stated by said Democratic Club of Tucson that if said Brady is not bondsman of Geo. II. Stevens that he is in no sense liable to the Territory for Stevens dedication. For the information of the public, as well as said Democratic Club, we will state that the name of Peter R. Brady is not on Geo. II. Stevens bond, as Prison Commissioner. And we will also state that said Peter R. Brady IS not only liable Co the Territory for his pro- portion of Mr. StereHS' shortage but that he is H c ldrge degree responsible here- for.
 By reference to the Revised Statutes of Arizona, pages 424 to 428 inclusive, the law on the subject will be found to hold the Board of Prison Commissioners, as q Board, responsible to the Territory, and each Commissioner is required to give bond to the Territory for the faith iul discharge of his duty, in the sum of $l0,OO0.
 Paragraph 2435, page 426, Revised Statutes, states that: Any member of the Board may act as Treasurer, on mo- ton made and entered in the minutes. He shall receive and disburse all moneys coming into his hands under direction of the Bodrd, and rendera quarterly account of his proceedings, which shall Je er- aD,ined, and if correct approved"
 The Treasurer is required to give no bond to the Territory as such-he simply acts in the capacity as agent for the Board, and the Board is responsible with him for his acts.
 Did Peter R. Brady and his associate Commissioners examine and approve the proceedings of Mir. Stevens? And if not, why not? The cold facts, pure and simple, are that Peter k. Brady is mutually liable and responsible with his associate Commissioners to the Ter ritory for the amount of the shortage, under the law, and if his friends desire to deny his responsibility and urge his election to the Legislature on the ground of incompetency, neglect or ignorance, we have no objection to the effort being made by them.
 He has proven himself culpably negli- gent, incompetent, and withal liable to the Territory for the embezzlement. Any effort to elect him to the Legisla- ture to shield criminal action or to afford him an opportunity to escape just liability will utterly fail.

TIE Democratic platform reads that taxation should be decreased to the lowest practicable point. And yet Sam Webb, their nominee for Sheriff, starts out with an expenditure of about 5000 to secure the nomination and is prepar- ing to spend several thousand more to be elected. The office of Sheriff of Mar icopa county should pay, even under the present high schedule of fees, no more than 5000 year, net, to it's in cumbent, yet here is a man who is willing to spend almost the entire net receipts of the office for two years in order to secure the position. The con clusion is open that there is something dark and shady in the transaction and the people generally understand it SO. That amount of money may be spent, bribery and corruption may be resorted to, and yet when the votes are counted it will be found that the honest, intelli- gent vote of the community, irrespective of past party affiliations, will have given the office of Sheriff to "Honest John Montgomery"

Iris to be remarked as an extraordinary circumstance that the Democratic party of Arizona, in Territorial Convention assembled, did not "point with pride" to it's or its officials records. What tough job they would have undertaken had they done so and been obliged to explain. For instance, they would have had to explain away the iniquities of MT. Zulick, of New Jersey. They would have had to tell how it happened that he signed several bills while Governor and vetoed others; also they would have had quite tussle when they attempted to SCOUT up his record of pardons. Again there was Fred Smith. He, belong ing to one of the first families of Virginia" was always regarded by the Democratic panty as being com posed of rather superior clay. Yet Mir. Fred basely betrayed the trust placed in his hands by Grover Cleve- land and decamped with thousands of dollars, stolen from the poor and needy settlers, to enjoy himself beyond the border of the Hand of the free." Now this would be a hard subject toward which to "point with pride" Again there was George H. Stevens, Little Steve" the head and leader of the Terri torial Democracy in all schemes that re- quired fnesse. He was always promi- nent member of the "Third House" of each succeeding Legislature and was recognized as a sterling exponent of true Democracy. Little Steve" no longer sheds the light of his presence upon his devout admirers. He has skipped. And with him have departed many ducats filched from tine public treasury. Rather heavy coat of whitewash would be required to disguise Mir. Stevens so that he would be presentable from a moral point of view. Tbere is no lack of other examples, but these few are more than sufficient to account for the Territorial Democratic party's departure from their usual language in making up their party platform.

GREAT NEWS is at hand Zulick has left his New Jersey home and is now on his way to Arizona. He would not have come so soon, but then if he had delayed he would not have been able to get registered. He will be in Maricopa county a month during the campaign and by election day will have "'lived" in Maricopa county altogether just about three months. But, reader might ask |: "Does it not require six months con tinuous residence to become voter or legal candidate?" Tut, tut. That is only the case with ordinary people. Mir. Zulick has always been above the law.
