OUR dispatches to-day state that Mrs. Woodwork, an evangelist now holding revivals in St. Louis is to be examined for her sanity. It may ba remembered that this is the same person who held meetings at Oakland last winter and prophysied the destruction of that city and San Francisco by a tidal wave When the fatal day came many families left the cities and camped on the ad- jacent hills. In some instances more fanatical believers disposed of all their possessions at great sacrifice, m order to carry their specie into the hereafter The day dawned not upon a sunken city, however. but parcel of super stitious fools in the hills. There is no question but the prophecies" Mrs. Woodwork is insane.

THE SILVER BELL.
Ths Money Paid Over Yesterday
 Work Begins.

This district promises to be one of the best mineral producers in the Ter ritory, located convenient ts railroad, with . good road, either from Tucson 40 miles west, Or from Red Rock 22 miles south, having large bodies of lead, silver, copper and gsld ores. It cannot but attract the Mining Co. capitalist or in- vsstor looking for first-class productive mining property.
 The attention of MT. K. Gooding. our wsll-known, energetic mining man, was called to this district several years ago. In March 1887 Mir. Goodine made an sxpsrt examination of this property, familiary known as the Silver Bell mines, owned by Msssrs Fish and klug. Nsssrs J. 0. Gooding and H. Un- dsrwood then took the matter in hand snd with the assistance of Judge N. F. Clsary, of St. Louis, the property was successfully placed on the London mar kst. It IS now being owned by the Sil- yer Bell Mining syndicate of London, England.
 Alter the examination by CT. Good ing, Judge Clsary brought MT. 0. E. Morton, of London to investigate the property. MT. Morton was followed by Capt. Robson, of England. The last re- ports confirmed that sf cur townsman Q. T. Gooding. To-day the syndicsts is the absolute owner of 6 magnificent property that cannot fail to give . fine record in the mar future. Much credit is due to 4sssrs Gooding and, Underwood for energy and ability displayed in bringing this sale to x fnslity. We will say that Q great many people have been substantially benefited by this nsgotis- ton.
 The property is capitalized in Eng land at 4170,O0O. The records show the amount paid out here to the owners and promoters to be R25.OOO.
 Work has been started on the pro- psrty, and as soon e substantial dsvsl- opmsnts have been made, construction ct furnaces will commence. When min ing is begun the company expect to sm ploy not lsss than fifty men, who will depend upon Tucson for all supplies and material.

THE Journal Miner of Prescott grows eloquent over the possibilities of Ariz- opa in the future. The Journal says: Arizona with her diversity of climate, her untold mineral resources and her many agricultural and stock raising fa- cilities offers to the people of the over crowded east, better opportunities to acquire homes and to accumulate wealth than. .any other state or territory in the United States. This is no idle or hap hazard assertion, but one based upon the bedrock of facts. We challenge con- tradiction. Go to the green hills of Vermont, to the broad Savannshs of the south and thence to the broad and rich rolling praries of the great west and show us another Thesams of golden op- portunities as Arizona offers to the trav- eller.

BEAUTIES OF MORMONISM
The Tombstone Prospector says:

"The anti-mormon plank of the repub- licsn platform is one of the most lying, infamous connections Of words ever put into sentences. No gathering of men ever met together and gave vent to thelr feelings against the murderous Apaches in more venomous terms than are couched in the language against the Mormons."
 What the relations between the Pros pector, and Mormon sect, are We have no means of knowing. We have how ever means of knowing that the Nor mon church, collectively and individ- ually is guilty of such polygamous prac tices as would disgrace an eastern seraglio or Turkish harerm. The Me hamodans at least comfortably support their superhuous wives. The Mormons neglect them and compel them to toll for new conner. The Mormon church against which this infamous connection of words" is waged is guilty of the pros titution of virtue in a wholesale man. ner under contract, of so much per head; it is guilty of instigating and as- sisting,in massacre; it is guilty, of assina- ton, midnight murder, arson, and trea- son. It's danits were a thousand times more bloodthirsty than any kindred or gsnization known. Its practices are in famous and without parallel in inquity
 There is hardly crime in the catalo- que of sin that Mormon Elders have not answered for; from the shooting of Fed ersl officers, the nullifying of laws, to their treacherous practices which make them a foul blot on the heart of the nation. We have seen some individual Mormons who had discarded the cardi- nal principsl-wrecking of virtue that were industrious citizens. But it goes no farther. The laws of their church are higher than the laws of the nation. The creed of the Endowment House comes to any Mormon before the sacred teachings of the Bible; and the oaths winch are administered, God save the nation if they are consistent with the laws!
 Slavery in any form is degradation. But what is the servitude of man white or black, to the submission of woman to Mormon lsws.

WE have always believed that any soldier who twas wounded much or slightly in the late war was entitled to a sufficient pension to enable him, if if were necessary, to provide for the actual wants of life, and luxuries as we'll. We do not believe that the govern ment can make any mistake in we'll rs. warding the patriot who contracted dis ease or disability in the army, but on the contrary we have but little patience with those persons, mostly teamstsrs and suffers, who never have seen active service, and never knew the whistle of 8 mlnne ball, who are constantly holding up their plate for pensions. The old soldier IS not to be diseracsd by being put Tn the attitude of mendicant. Ser vices in the war for union are not paid for by so many dollars and cents. But when i1 that ser-ice the loyal patriot becomes unable to provide for himself and his, it is tune for the government to, not assist him, but pay him his due in liberal measure.

THE republican party of Arizona never entered upon a campaign under more tiattering promises of success. With an excellent and patriotic plstform-a prac- tical platform which effects the busi- ness interests of the people; with good candidates and harmonious body, the party presents Grecisn phalanx to the enemy. Yet wlthal, work is required. As the constant dripping of water wears away the stone, so hard constant, systematic work always tells. The re- publicans should enter upon the cam paign with vigor and enthusiasm for victory is perched above their banners.

THE Chronicle proves as follows tha

THE Chronicle proves as follows that protection protects:
 Protection does protect. If any one has any doubt on the subject let him consult the statistic showing the in- crease in the production of pig iron, which footed up the enormous quantity of s9,577,779 tons for the twelve months ending June Both. This output con- siderably exceeds that of Great Britain, the latter country having turned out in 1889 something over 6,OOO,OO0 tons. Of this quantity about 100000 tons were exported, leaving for British consump- ton about 6,0O0,0 tons. Of course it is unnecessary to say that only 8 trifing portion of our production IS exported, for in addition to what we turn cut our selves we are still importers of consider able iron, although the per capita amount IS diminishing rapidly and the forms in which 1t is received have entire ly changed within the last few years. Ten years ago we imported 1,720,OOO 900 tons; last year the quantity import ed was only 661 800 tons, and two thirds of this was tin plates. In 1880 the con- sumption of iron per captain the Unit cd States was 196 pounds; in 1890 it had increased to 599,T pounds. Reasoning from these figures we may safely answer the free trade query Docs pro- tection protect?" with 8 distinct affirm ative, and we may add to our reply that 1t apparently enabled us to use twice as much per capita of the prosected pro- tected product as ten years ago, some thing we could not have done unless iron had been rendered much cheaper and the country much richer by pro- lection.

THE selection of Hon. Gee. w. Cheney of Cochise, as delegate to congress is generally conceded to be one of strength by republicans and democrats. Ills position on land grants; the Mormon question; silver and north and south road will draw largely of democratic votes. The fact that Mr.Cheney is said to carry greater strength in his native county than any other man, republican or democrat, would indicate that the right man was in the righ: place. We feel safe in predicting that Congressman Cheney will net be found fishing when he should be at his post.

THE Atlanta Southern Appeal says the object of the new election bill is to bulldoze the colored man to vote the Republican ticket. The idea is original and should be preserved in alcohol. The thought that the Republican party pro- poses to steal some democratic thunder is prostrating. We don't believe how ever, that the colorsd man needs to be bu!ldozed to vote the Republican ticket. If he does, after being shot at, hung up by the heels and thrashed by democrats, We consider him an imbecile.

Two weeks aeo the settler was entitled

Two weeks ago the settler was entitled to GAO acres of land under the desert act. by the law passed last week the amount was reduced to 320 acres. As the i'm mense fertility of this land becomes known further reductions will take place. It has been strong theory with Major Powell for years to limit the gov ernment entry in Arizona to 80 acres, maintaining that that amount was amply sufficient In California good livings are made every year and profits beside, on ten acres of land. And this land is no more fertile than that which lays un- der the kindly sun of Arizona.
