FORTY MEN STRIKE.
Tho Stone Masons at Bye's Gran
ite Yard Quit Work
Yesterday.
They Claim That They Are Being
Imposed Upon Regarding
Their Time.

the granite yard of Joseph w. Bye,
near the Northern Pacific tracks,
some forty in number, struck
Tuesday afternoon, their grievance
being that they were imposed upon
by the employer regulating the
time when the men AFRO to quit
work. 1t seems that the strike was
not sudden, judging from what
one of the men stated to REVIEW
reporter, but before the
men struck the matter was fully
considered. Continuing the man
said
"Nine hours constitutes q days
labor ut our work. That Is, we 90
to work mt 7 O'Clock In the morning
and are supposed to quit at . o'clock
i'm the evening. OF late MIR. Bye
has not called time In the evening
and the result has been that the men
have had to work more than nine
hours. We called Mr.. Bye's atten-
ton To the fact that he had failed To
call time at the time IL should have
been called, and he promised to look
out In the future. Not only once
did we speak to him, but on several
occasions, but he continued To pay
no attention to the matter whatever.
THE STRIKE.
"Monday we reminded him again
and the result was the same, 50 to-
day we were ordered to quit work
by the house steward. We are will
ing to do any reasonable thing, but
we don't proposed To bo imposed
upon"
''"fIave you any cause to complain
rs to wages?n asked the reporter.
"No, we get good pay; we are not
striking over wages, but because we
have to work overtime, and that Is
something we don't propose to do
The time was always called before
or after starting to work.
"Will the men resume work II
this question of time Is settled?"
"Ies, as we do not want to re-
main out any longer than possible,
but one thing Is certain, we will
not 20 back to work until IL Is
settled"
A search for Mr.. Bye last night
! by the reporter failed TO find that
gentleman, and In consequence his
side of the matter could not be ascer-
tained.
john KEENES TALKS.
a REVIEW reporter called upon
John Kee men, the well known con
tractor, who also has I'm extensive
stoneyard, for the purpose of seeing
II any of his men had struck. In
answer To the reporters question,
Mr. Keenen replied:
"No, I have had no strike at my
yard, and don't propose 10 If | can
possibly avoid one, l am an ad-
vocate OF short hours, and | think
nine hours Is long enough for my
men to work.
"NIr. Keencn, understand that
Nav | IL the time set to decide the
cight-hour movement, II that goes
into effect will you abide by it?n
Certainly | shall, as it will be to
my interest to do So have too
much work ON hand to allow any
thing of that kind to stand in the
way-work that must he finished ut
specified time. From what ! ann
given to understand, the list of May
will decide one of the greatest qucs..
tions that the world has been called
upon to answer, ns this eight-hour
movement not onSy includes the
United States, but Europe also"

THE CHURCH OF ZION.

Very little has been said upon the
 church of Zion and the Saints of the
 Latter Day-very little indeed as to
 what may yet be aid before the
 campaign is finished. The democratic
 party, that highly moral organization of
 office-seekers, which has undertaken to
 stand GJd-parent to this psrnicious cor
 ruption will finds its arms full to over
 flowing. The Republican of Phenix.
 which paper has been dealing
 stalwart blows against polygamy says:
 There is law upon the statute books
 of Arizona against bigamy or polygamy.
 That Is, should a man Oe conyicted of
 marrying two or more women d sersre
 sentence is supposed to await him
 something like a term of years in the
 penitentiary. If the culpriG proves he
 was simply living with the woman or
 women in excess of the legal number, then he stands confessed of adultery, also a serious ofense in the eyes of the law. These things be crimes. Yet the Democratic party, both as body and individually uphold the men who are guilty of their perpetratlon. Anu why? Because there has been a compact en- tered into between the Democratic party and that theocratic body-the | church of Zion-that tenders immunity | from prosecution, or one hand in eX- change for votes. That this IS true | hardly needs explanation, The leaven | of tLe corruption has so permeated all | official places ever held by democrats | that instances are but to numerous. During the administration of President Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, hundreds of leacherous Saints, defying the law,. obeying only their 'heavenly reyel- ations", were sentenced to the United States penitentiaries for the practice of polygamy. During the reign of Cleve and, that divine Buddha of Democracy now the situation changedi Polygamy and its attendant evils flourished un- checked in Utah. Pardon after pardon was issued from under the hand of restoring to liberty, without every polygamist confined in he Detroit and other national prisons. In every way payment was made by the democracy for the influence and SUD- ,ort of the Mormons. Here in the county of Maricopa, many prominent dormons, fugatlves to MexIco, under he ban of the law, returned with con- idence to Phenix and to Mesa, reported or "trlal", plead guilty, and were by a Iemocratic judge, fined from $50 to Sl00 achI This is the record of the demo ratic party ip this connection, and the onclusion necessarily follows that the 'arty would support and uphold the In- luity of any other numerous class of f lw-breakers were such a course effec- i've in securing to the party the votes that criminal class.

THE MASQUE TORN OFF.
Hubert Howe Baneroft's Great His
 tory of Mormonism.

The long expected illustrated history
 of Utah by the eminent historian, Hu-
 bert H. Bancroft, has at last appeared.
 It is absolutely a revelation. After
 visiting the field in person, taking testi-
 mony impartially from all sides, criti- cally reviewing the enormous number of 1000 different authorities, and search ing many of the secret archives of the
 Mormon Church. Mir. Bancroft now gives to the world this wonderful and remarkable work, the only true history of MOrmOnlsm published.
 The work reads like a romance-the wonderful adventures of trappers and travellers, the bloody Indian wars, the thrilling accounts of massacres and miraculous escapes, the famous Danite Association or Destroying Angels, the story of Brigham YOung-all this, fresh from the pen of the brilliant and gifted author forms a narrative or exciting in- tereSt, as fascinating as a novel yet true to the letter. Above all in surpassing interest is the unfolding of the great Mormon question and the mysteries of Polygamy which will be read with eager interest by all classes of people through out the world. The work is published in one large handsome volume of over 800 pages, bound Tn red and gold, and grandly illustrated with steel-plats DOT traits of the mormon leaders, exquisite half tone sngravings and dazzling col cred plates. It is issued by the great hOuse of the Pacific Coast, The History Company of San Francisco, and can only be procured through their authorized agents. We call attention to the advertisement in another column, under heading of S25,0O0 Reward.

 The condition of business throughout the entire Union Pacific system has i'm proved, while the increase of the gross earnings during the year 1889 over 1888 was only SS68, 8,650, the increase during the six months ending June 30, of the recent year of the same period of 1889 was S3,595, ,027.

 IF straHs show the current of the wind, then we can safely prophecy re- publican victory for the Pima county ticket. Every indication for the past several weeks proves conclusively that the republican forces are gaining, not alone from the closer adherence in their own ranks, but from the dissatisfied democrats and small body of inds- pendent voters. The manner Tn which ghe young democra s, or as the bosses say, ''the kids were set down upon all around has left feeling "akin to pain''. While these gentlemen are true enough We trust. in their allegiance not to prefer themselves to party, yet there is a strong feeling that bossism is not party, and that the party is sometimes strenghted by little purification in the way of rebuke. Because one man or set of men manage to control the machine. is no reason why better democrats should always remain at the crank. All work::and no play makes Jack dull boy, says the old proverb.

THE policy of England in arresting the Irish patriots by wholesale, to pre- vent their attending the meeting of the Land League in America seems to us to be a penny wise and pound foolish pol icy. The tory element in British politics seems bent on prosecuting the Irish race, in season and out. If the Salisbury government is desirous of creating uni versal sympathy for the Irish people, it has adopted the most cross-cut policy. There are thousands of Americans in whom not drop of Irish blood is found, that year by year are becoming firmly at tached to the Irish cause because of just such unprovoked and impolitic proceed ings as this imprisonment of Dillon, O'Brien and others.

THE Count of Paris has issued mani festo to "my people" urging the beauties of monarchy. From the colgne de vantage of a worthless prince who never earned an honest penny, the mani festo reads well. But trcm the stand point of honest people, and the world at large it will simply bring ridicule on the writer. The Count of Paris is evi- dentiy bent on following in the footsteps of the unfortunate Napoleonic aspirant PIon Plon who killed himself politically, by ridicule. Parisennes cannot stand being rjdiculed.

IN the case of the shooting of Gold berg, young man in San Francisco, by Miss Nellie Pandhorst, a woman he had wronged, the Report takes the ground that the woman should be hanged. We beg to differ from the judgment of the Report. When a man, young or old preys upon the virtue of an innocent woman, he should prepare himself for the fate of Goldberg, and not complain if such judgment is meted out to him. There is no crime in the calendar which calls for such speedy and retributive justice as the wrecking of yirtuous women, and no jury on either henis- phere will convict a woman in Nellie Pandhorst's case.

HON. GEo. W. CHENEY. the republi- can nominee for Congress is making friends wherever he turns. Mr. Chey- hey is one of those sort of men who is not given to elaberata and highly colored promises but there is yet to be born the man who can says in sincerity that MT. Cheyney is not faithful to the spirit as well as the letter of his pledges. Dur ing time which Mark Smith has held the Delegatorial chair he has done less ill Congress for Arizona and her indus tries than Mir Cheyney has out of it. Mir. Smith is a man who is good, We un- derstand, at the practice of law, but the territory now wants something more practical than briefs It wants hewsrs of wood and drawers of water. 1t wants capitalists to invest ID this territory and thereby bring out the wonderful latent wealth which Is in our rock-ribbsd hills. And it wants and must have a man-who like Mir Cheyney is indenti- fed with its interests-can induce these people to come amongst us. One car load of good honest farmers would be worth a greatdeal more to the territory of Arizona than several of Mark Smith s bills to remove few Pima Indians on te Papag0 reservation.
