deemed best 20 create an Office which would

AT Monroe on the trip up man and a

"Why vhlS dot?" queried the owner.

"He'S gotto GO
"Vhel, YOU take him.
He was a whopper of dog, and there
was business in his eye. The conduc-
tor called ihe baggageman, but they
had no sooner got hold than they had
to let 20. 4 brakeman was called in,
but rendered his resignation rather
than tackle the dog. The animal was
seized again, and this time he bit the
conductor twice and the baggageman
three times, and finished off by nipping
the brakeman'S leg.
"Yaw, you take him right away"
said the owner, but they didn't. Even
when a passenger came forward to in
crease the number to four the dog stood
them off, and as he was left in posses
sion of the field the man observed:
you vhas foolish to try. Why, last
year dot dog preaks up mass meeting
in Toledo and bites oafer two hoonered

Sound Words Clearly Spoken.

Senator Teller oi Colorado, made an argument last Monday before the House Committee on Coinage on the subject of silver coinage and in emphatic disappro- bation of the Windom Silver bill which he characterized as hostile 10 the silver producing interests of the country He looked upon the silver question as one of the most important before Congress. Not local question, it is general in it's nature, and the depression in business circles all over the world was largely due to the treatment of silver by the United States Government since 1873. The Windom scheme, he declared, was illog- ical, and a Wall street measure.
 Senator Teller said it was very likely that the price of silver would be increas- ed if the bill should be enacted into law, but he would not support it on that account. The proposition to issue Treas ury note, in return for the deposit of sil yer bullion made it appear as though silver was merely warehouse commod- ity. If the Government recognized this principle concerning silver, there was no reason why it should not be applied to pig iron, ore and corn. It thus took away from silver is money use, which, after all, was its chief function. The feature of the bill, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to suspend the receipt of silver bullion, was also objectionable, in his opinion The use of this option might render the Secretary of the Treas ury liable to suspicion and to imputations of being dishonest, which, though they might not be true, would make an un- fortunate condition of affairs. Public officers might be always honest in using this option, he said, but not discreet, which would be just as bad, so far as the general effect was concerned. The very moment an order was given sus- pending the receipt of bullion the price of silver would go down, and general bad effect on the business of the country would be the effect.
 MT. Teller thought that the United States was capable of controlling the silver question by adopting policy of free coinage, and this, he said, was the only legitimate method of treating the question, although he was in doubt whether a bill of that sort could escape a veto by the President. If silver is denied access to the mints the price of gold will increase in the same relation as corn increases in price if no wheat is milled.

ALL Americans, whether native born or naturalized, will commend the ac- ton of Judge Sloan in refusing citi- zenship to some men at Solomonville last week, on account of their igno- rance of the principle of this govern ment. We have enough ignoramuses already as voters, and 1t is time that other judges should follow the policy as laid down by Judge Sloan in this instance.

A Recent SWindle.

The fruit-tree swindlers are again infesting the country. The scheme now, is to furnish the farmer with so many dollars worth of trees-say $500 worth-free of charge. The farmer is to plant and take proper care of these trees, and deliver to the agent one half of the profits for ten or twelve years. But if the farm is sold during this time, the trees are to be paid for at the price agreed upon; and, as evidence of good faith, the farmer gives his bond to such effect for the amount. So far there is no fraud, but in short time a man comes along admires the farm, and tries to buy it. The price is finally agreed upon, and the farmer is to furnish free title to the land. Of course the bond has been recorded, and to secure the sale is promptly paid. And after the fruit tree agent is dispensed with, the far mer turns to his supposed purchaser, but alas! the bird has flown, and he goes home a sadder if not wiser man.-Astorian

Ar the time when Governor Wolhey

AT the time when Governor Wolhey should have called a convention to frame a State constitution for Arizona, says the Flagstaff Democrat, many of the newspapers of the Territory were raising the hue and cry that the time had not come for her admission into the Union; that her population and wealth were not great enough; that State constitution would be too expen- sive. and that 1t would be better to put the matter off to some time in the dim future. Many of these organs have seen the error of their way and are falling in line and are now advo- eating the passage of a bill by Con- gress for the admission of Arizona. The Democrat raised its bristles and growled at Governor WOlfley at the very beginning, urging the importance of a State constitution, and advocat- ing the propriety and importance of our Territory stepping into statehood. We yet favor it, because we think 1t best for the people and their interest. We believe there is nothing that would advance the future growth of our Ter ritory both in population and wealth quicker than this. It would. give us many and varied privileges which we can never have under a Territorial government, the most important of which is the right to say who shall be our greatest and most important oi- ficers. We adhere to the doctrine of a free government of the people, for the people and by the people, and main tain that the right of suffrage in say ing who shall be the peoples rulers Is one of the greatest privileges the American people enjoy. Under our Territorial system the people who pay the taxes and support the government have to content themselves with who- ever the chief executive at Washing ton city may see fit to make Governor. Secretary, judge of the district courts, etc, and that, too, without any choice in the matter. We don't believe in the "one man" government, and the only remedy is to emerge from Ter ritorial into a State Government. We think we are right on this vital ques- ton and will say amen to the bill that gives the people of Arizona the privi- leges of statehood, and in this we think we voice the sentiment of a large majority of the people of Ari- zOna

THE governm ent makes an annus

THE governm ent makes an annual appropriation for the arming and equipping of the National Guard in every State and Territory in the Union. Enough is appropriated for Arizona to furnish arms and equip ments for company in every town in the Territory. Only two towns, so far, have organized companies-Pres- colt and Fhenix. Tombstone should not be behind iii such matters. The only expense a company would have to meet would be rent for an armory, lights, fuel and other small incident als. Besides becoming acquainted with military maneuvers, which might be useful some day, our young men would find in such an organization much profitable enjoyment. And be- sides, Arizona would derive some ben eft from the appropriation.
