TO CONSTRUCT GUNS
The Committee Appointed
Make a Rep ort.
FAVOR THE PACIFIC COAST
The Board Estimate II Will Take
$4S4, 400 to Establish the
Plant

WAsnISoroH, Dec. ia preliminary
report Of the board on gun factories, ETC.,
was sent to the senate to-day by the
secretary of war. In letter accompany
ing the report Secretary Proctor states it
may be advisable to establish, at no dis
tant day, gun factory at some point on
the Pacific coast of sufficient capacity to
supply the guns required for the arma-
ment OF that coast.
Secretary Proctor further says 1t ap-
pears from the report that there is as yet
no plant ready on the Pacific coast equal
to the manufacture Of large gun forgings,
but capital seems ready to take hold, and
has already began to locate Itself with
this object in view at more than one
point.
The commission appointed by the
president consisted of three officers OF
the army and they were directed to in
quire into the facilities ior producing
steel forgings for high power guns on the
Pacific coast and in the vicinity of the
indianapolis arsenal, Rock Island arse
nal and some point near the gulf coast,
and the ad visibility of erecting gun fac
tories for the assembling of guns for
fortitication purposes.
Regarding the Watervliet factory, the
report states 1t is believed { . limit of
the present capacity is reached, and
the time required to complete the arma-
ment, either with the existing facilities
or those which would be added by the
completion of the Watervliet factory, is
too long.
A factory should be located on the Pa
citic coast, 10 furnish guns required for
its defense, but the board does not con-
slider IL advisable at this time to recon-
mend the erection Of a third factory at
the Rock Island arsenal at Indianapolis,
or on or near the gulf coast. The board
estimates IL will take $3i9 900 to estab-
lish plant on the Pacific coast for the
manufacture of high power guns, and
for machinery and tools Sl35,0Oo max
ing total of $4S4 900.

People are now paying their taxes and
saving their money for holiday presents.
Our receipts are good and our sales COM

IT is amusing to see the Democratic press of the Territory stand on it's hind legs and howl about the outrages the Republican party is perpetrating in demanding the "Test Oath" for this Territory. Does this same press not know that the Republican party is founded upon the broadest freedom and that it's record is loyalty to the government? Is not the party justi- fled in it's course by public opin- ion, by the laws passed by both a Democratic and Republican Con- Congress, and better than all, by the decision of the Supreme Court of the
 United States and the opinions of that Court rendered by Democratic Judges ? Does not Justice Field, in the opinion of the Court on the constitutionality of the Idaho Test Oath, declare that it is good law and in conformity with the con stitution? This same Supreme Court has declared that the Mormons are in "secret armed rebellion against the gov ernment." What higher authority or better endorsement does the Republican party desire than this? Mormons in Arizona are the same as those in Idaho. The highest judicial tribunal in the land has declared the Test Oath legal and valid in Idaho, then why should not this same law be made applicable to Arizona? |?

DEMOCRATS prate of the economical record of their party and howl that all useless offices should be abolished, in- cluding almost all of the appointive po- sitions within the category. The reason thereof is plain: The present National administration is Republican, there is seemingly no chance for Democrats to occupy the positions, and through spleen and jealousy is the present at tack made. The office of Attorney-Gen- eral is especially selected for attack, as being an expense without correspond ing benefit. Our friends, the enemy, have short memories. As originally drawn, the salary of the office was 5000 year, but in the Fourteenth Legisla- ture, Democratic body, at the dicta- tion of c. Meyer Zulick, Democratic Governor, the salary was raised to the sum of 5000 year, for the special benefit of Briggs Goodrich, a Democratic lawyer. What sort of economists are the Democrats when they are in power ?

THAT hospital bill, relative to the non entrance of aliens into the county hospitals of this Territory, is made one of the campaign arguments against the Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress. How does it happen to be a Democratic argument, when every Democrat, except one, in an equally divided Legislature voted for the passage of the bill. And, furthermore, c. Meyer Zulick, the Democratic Governor and now candidate before the people of Maricopa county for election to the Territorial Council, signed the bill with out protest on March 2l, 1888. The argument is a boomerang.

TIE gentleman from the wooden nut meg State who presides over the des- tinies of the Los Angeles Tribune attempts to be facetious about the use of the word "gun" as applied in the West, It is about on par with his advocacy of the introduction of the penny, and befitting a man of his gigantic CD New England intellect, which he brought West to use in teach ing the "yahoos" how to do business.

SAYS the Florence Enterprise; "The people of Phoenix took all the delegates of the late Democratic Convention to the Insane Asylum. For fear of possi- ble mistake in attributing their motive for this singular, but not altogether in- appropriate proceeding, we will explain that it was done for the purpose of show ing to Democrats that the charges by the Gasets of mismanagement and in- competence in the government of that institution were not supported by the facts. The delegates speak only words of praise for the reforms inaugurated
 there by Dr. Toney, and they found nothing to criticize in his management.

THE Democratic ring has placed in nomination for the office of Supervisor man who possesses two disqualifica- tions that will prove most damaging to him when the time comes for the honest electors to cast their votes. This man is not only a member in high position of the Church of Latter Day Saints, but bears record that is far from savory as the leader of boodling Board of Super visors, that has brought discredit upon the county in the same ratio as have their attacks upon the treasury brought it's finances to a low ebb. It is safe to say that c. R. flakes will not be mem- Der of the next Board of Supervisors.
