Death and WindmillS.

A farmer drove up as we were sit
ting on the side porch of the hotel,
and after fastening his horse he came
around to us, and began:
Gentlemen, mebby it so happens
that one OF you is a preacher"
We put in q denial one after an
other, and he continued:
"Wall, the case is this. My hired
man died yesterday. He hain't got
no friends around here, and ne didn't
amount to much, but we've got to
hold some sort of n funeral over him.
Kin airy one Of you do any talking?'
1t was finally decided that an
Ohio man, who represented wind
mill manufacturer, should "do the
right thing by the late lamented,"
and that afternoon the landlord car
ried US out to the farmhouse in a
wagon. Four or five farmers had
assembled, n grave had been dug
down on some waste land near the
railroad, and the coffin was the
cheapest affair to be had for the
money. 1t was evident that the de-
ceased hadn't laid by any cash for
such an occasion. When all was
ready for the windmill man he
stepped out from his chair and pitched
the tune and we joined in singing.
Then he said:
"My friends, death is a sad thing.
It must come to all. Our poor
friend here was hardly prepared for
death when he took to his bed. He
had been carrying water TO the stock
long distance, and this eXertion
pulled him down. Had this fnrm
been supplied with one of our None
Such windmills, warranted to pump
$50 gallons of water per minute,

"Hold on a Bit" interrupted the
farmer, as he rose up. 1--WE got
that very windmill on this farm, and
it was owing to the blame thing
being out OF order and then falling
down that jim got his death. This
hain't much of n funeral, gentlemen,
but what there is of it has got to be
straight. Proceed. brother, and
perhaps you'd better skip windmills
and get in sunthin' about our loss
bein' his gain, the good die young,
death cometh to the high and low,
and so on"
But the windmill man had lost his
grip and he led off with the "Doxol-
ogy" and closed the business in
seven minutes from the start. New

Sweet but Costly Revenge.

Some years ago one of the promi-
nent banks ofthe state failed for many
thousands of dollars, says the Indi-
annapolis News. The crash was pre-
cipitated by a "run," and many peo
pie suffered. 4 gentleman was talk
ing with a News reporter of the fail
ure.
"There is q story connected with
that bank failure that is known to
but few persons, and has never been
in print" he said. Gin that town,
ten years ago, there was poor boy
who had patented an invention with
which he expected to make fortune,
but he had no means. He called on
the president of the bank for help,
but was repulsed and told to return
to his work and give up such foolish
ideas.
"The young man struggled along
for a couple of years before ne got
the needed financial assistance.
think all he wanted was 81 500.
"The invention was u success, and
in four years he was worth $150,000.
He purchased some of the bank
stock-enough to be on the inside
and made deposits sufficient to be on
friendly term with the officials of the
bank. In a few months he discovered
that the bank president had loaned
large sums of money on poor security,
and that q run would bring about
q failure.
"He sold his stock and began check
ing bis deposits, claiming he needed
the money for investments. When he
had small balance on hand he went
to several heavy depositors and told
them the bank was shaky, and advis-
ed them to get their money. This
started the run, and in two hours the
bank was closed"
Glow much was the balance he left
in the bank?"

Fifteen thousand dollars. This
helost, but he has told rae frequently
that the 81 8, 900 he lost was nothing
to the satisfaction he had in seeing
the bank 60 under, and the wealthy
president. who had treated him so
harshly, made penniless."

He Likes the Binders.

While examining the handsome and
convenient 'binder'' which the editor of
the AGRICULTURIsT has had manufac-
tured for the readers, the thought occurred
to me that it's use, in connection with the
copious and we'll arranged index, more
than doubled the value of the Journal
What a relief after the hours spent in
searching through a large pile of papers
for some valuable, but dimly remem-
bered, article on cultivation orfertilizers,
to turn an elegant volume, glance over
an elaborate index and find ready to
hand all the literature OF the year per-
tanning to the subject in mind No more
cudgeling of brains or ransacking of men,
Dry as to whether the article in question
appeared in the AGRICULTURIsT or
Dispatch. Five minutes will settle that
matter, and it is a desirable matter to
settle where it's solution would otherwise
involve the estimation of over hundred
papers, fifty-two numbers Ofeach journal.

Drayton Island Mari.

ping mari more or less from my place
since 1881, during which time | have
been branded by some gentlemen in the
State as an enthusiast. Indeed by some
others not gentlemen as fraud. AL
though perfectly satisfied Of the great
value of the marl-it being superior to
many of the commercial fertilizers so ex-
tensively used in the State-but being a
professional man of the sacred calling
have not pressed the business, indeed for
the last three years have only filed a few
of the many orders received, for it is not
pleasant to have my fellow men think |
would take money for an article when |
did not render just equivalent. But by
the recent boom of the OklaWaha region,
am glad to see the people OF our State
awakening to the fact that we in Florida
have phosphate enough for the whole
country; which is a fact / have al
frmed since 1882. However, I trust we
shall not go wild over it, so as to make
it the source of ludicrous or abusive
speculation.
In 1884 I examined the mari near
Ocala, Lake Jessup, and at an earlier
date Turnbull swamp and vicinity, and
sent specimens for analysis to competent
chemists. The result | found somewhat
similar to the case of the professors in
New York, who differed in their sworn
statements as to the analysis of a quart
of milk.
OF our Drayton Island mari the practi-
cal benefits derived firm it's use have been
far superior to what we could have ex-
pected to derive from the most commen-
datory analysis received. So [ have
reason to believe will be the case in othel
localities where phosphates have been or
may be discovered or used.
The sub-structures of this peninsula
are rich deposits rolled up in the long
ago from old ocean.
forbear to write more at this time save
to send you copies of few OF the many
testimonials [ have received from gentle
men who have tested the Drayton Island
mari.
TESTIMONIALS:
SANFORD, Nov. IA, 1882.
DEAR SIR Having experimental On a
limited scale with your Drayton Island
mari, by applying to some OF our orange
trees, we beg to say that we regard it as
a very excellent fertilizer. 1t can be safely
applied in large or small quantities. 1t
requires several months, together with
the action of rain, to produce it's proper
effect upon the trees. The result then is
a steady, healthful, vigorous growth.
would commend the application broad
cast of one or two bushels to the tree, to
be Incorporated with the soil.
Respectfully, j. WOFFoRD TUCKER.
SANFORD, Dec %, 1882.
REV. A. A. PREsBREY:
DEAR SIR Il want to say to you that
the seven tons of mari | bought of you
last spring has proved entirely satisfac-
tory When / commenced to use it my
orange trees were in bad condition, but
after had used it they put on good
healthful growth, and [ don't know of
anything could have used that would
have produced the same result; and |
take pleasure in recOmmendingit tOthOse
wanting a cheap and reliable fertilizer.
Yours, A. c. MARTIN.

around some orange and lemon trees,
and it produced a decidedly good effect.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican party goes into the campaign in Arizona this year well equipped for an aggressive battle. Its platform has the true ring to it, and can be heartily endorsed by every Republi- can in the Territory. It endorses the administration of President Harrison, which in it's diplomatic dealings, espe- cially, has given evidence of the highest order of statesmanship. It en- dorses the measure now before Congress providing for honest elections throughout the Union. In doing this the Republicans of Arizona declare that they are opposed to the votes of men in some States counting as much in National affairs as the votes of five to seven men in the States where elections are free and untrammeled
 The platform fully endorses the action of the present Republican administra- ton in providing for an increased coin age of silver, thereby reviving the min ing industries of the Territory, and favors further legislation providing for free and unlimited coinage of the white metal.
 Statehood, that boon which we all so anxiously desire, is demanded that the great Territory of Arizona may take the position in the Nation to which her pro- ducts and her many thriving industries entitle her.
 On the Mormon question the platform is especially sound. It does not palliate and excuse organized crime, but grasps the monster by the throat, even though it be under the guise of religion, and says that this foul plot on Arizona must be extinguished. There is no question as to the strength of this plank. It will draw to the support of the ticket thou sands of honest, loyal Democrats who are tired of trades by the Democratic party for Mormon support.
 It urges upon Congress the necessity of legislation repeating the arid land act of 1888, so that the so-called desert lands of Arizona may be put under Dt ltllllo uiu productive. It favors subsidy for a railroad connecting the Northern and Southern portions of the Territory; it demands liberal legislation for the pro- motion of the free public schools, and demands the abolition of all needless offices.
 In short it takes a firm and manly stand upon all vital questions of the day and asks the support of intelligent voters thereon. It is a platform on which every Republican can stand a platform which he can present to his neighbor and ask him to support a platform in which the Republican party will march forth to victory in November next.

THOSE Mormon apologists who are so prone to declare that the Lords An nointed" are moving out of Arizona and are among the most law-abidIng citizens of the Territory should read the follow ing telegram recently sent out from Albuquerque: CA Mormon delegation headed by George K. Cannon, have been here for twenty-iour hours from Salt Lake, in close conference with several Mormon elders from Arizona settlements. While the conference here was held with closed doors, it is under stood that they have agreed to pur- chase tracts of land in Arizona and es- tablish colonies. Arizona has now a Mormon population of about 10000, and they control the politics of several coun- ties. There is no question but polygamy is practiced openly in the Territory. The Salt Lake delegation left this afternoon for San Louis valley, Colo, where a conference of Mormon, on a big scale will be held on Sunday and Monday"

IN MURDERER's ROW.
Two Men Reprieved and Two Men Hung
 With Neatness and Dispatch.

COLUMBUS, O., August 29.-Of four men to be executed in the penitentiary annex today between l2 and 6a.m., Elmer Sharkey, Preble county, matri- eide, was reprieyed to September 26, and Isaac Smith, Pike county, murderer, to October "A. Otto Lieuth, boy murderer. of Cleveland, and John dlias "Brocky" Smith, of Cincinnati, will pay the pen alty for their crimes.
 Otto Leuth was hanged first in the an- mex of the penitentiary shortly after midnight. The drop fell at l2 :O5. His neck was broken. In less than twenty five minutes, Smith was on the trap. He admitted his crime. It was 12 40 when he dropped. The executions were a neat piece of work. Leuth and Smith bore themselves with great courage up to the time that the scaffold was sprung.

TIE REPUBLICAN earnestly hopes that President Harrison will see fit to ap- point Secretary N. O. Murphy as Gov ernor Wolhey's successor. Mir. Murphy is an exceedingly popular man through out the Territory, and his appintment would undoubtedly be satisfactory to every Republican in Arizona. Besides that, his appointment would be in har- mony with the home rule doctrine enun- ciated by the National Republican Con- ventions of 'S4 and 'SS, aud it would also be in the nature of civil service promo tion, further carrying out of Republi- can principals.

TIE Prescott Courier in speaking of the recent criticism of Judge J. II. Wright by TIE REPUBLICAN, wherein that gentle man was charged with corruption, says "As to Judge Wright's corruption, there are not ten men in this county, Yava- pal, who will not willingly make oath to the fact that the charge against him is libelous. " Well now if Mir. Wright thinks TIE RE- PUBLICAN has libelled him in charg- ing that he was corrupt on the bench, we urge that he begin a libel suit i'm mediately. TIE REPUBLICAN not only charges, but is prepared to prove, that ex-Judge Wright was corrupt on the bench, suborned and bulldozed juries, endeavored to prejudice clients and juries against attorneys practicing before his court, and was withal the greatest fraud and disgrace to the bench that ever occupied Federal position in Arizona.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

MESA, August 2, 1890
 To THE EDITOR OF TIE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN: If you will kindly answer the following ques. tions you will confer favor on many of your subscribers:
 First-Does the law disiranchising polygamous MOrmons apply to this Territory or not, and if not, why not?
 Second-ls there not a law against allowing polygamist, who has been convicted and served his term from voting?
 Third-Who is the official, if there is one whose duty it is to see that this law is enforced?
 FOurth--If there are laws against this class of criminals, why are they not brought to bear against them, instead of allowing them the same rights as are enjoyed by respectable people?
 Answer to 1.-If you have reference to the Edmunds bill, it does not apply to Arizona. Polygamous Mormons can only be prosecuted in the United States courts, but the "Act for the Fabrication of Elec- tions in Arizona," now before Congress, when it becomes law, will settle the question beyond doubt.
 Answer to 2.-Any person who has been convicted of felony and served his full term, that is, not granted par don, loses his citizenship and cannot vote, and a Mormon polygamist is no ex- ception to the rule.
 Answer to 3.-It is the duty of any law abiding citizen to challenge any such person when he offers to vote and the law makes it the duty of the judge of elections to inquire into the matter and if the inquiry discloses the fact chat the would-be voter is a convicted ielon who served a full term, then he cannot vote. If he does vote then the matter should be presented to the United States District Attorney and he will see that the next grand jury in- yestigates into the charge.
 Answer to 4.-Until recently the Judges of our courts and United States officials have been Democrats and as the Democratic party panders to Mormonism all prosecutions under the law have been abandoned. But under the ad- of President Harrison Re publicans are in command who do not sympathise with crime in any form and this one of polygamy which is nothing more or less than prostitution and concubinage committed under the guise of religion. It is the duty of every loyal American to inform the officers of any violations.

CAN Zulick be candidate for the Leg islature? The statutes prescribe that an official must possess all the qualfica- tions of voter. To be voter requires a residence in the Territory Of at least six months prior to the date of election. Mir. Zulick cannot show this. He has been for about a year absent from the Territory, at home with his family in New Jersey. Itis idle to say that Arizona is his home. He has been here but transiently, stop ping at a hotel, for the entire time since he was deposed from the office of Cover nor. He is not legal candidate, so the only reason that can be given for his nomination must be that the Democratic County Convention simply desired to compliment the ex-dictator of the Demo- cratic ring, knowing that he would decline with thanks. If he. does, Tom Smith will be found ready and willing to fill up the vacancy.
