REPUBLICAN TICKET.
COUNTY ELECTION.

Tucson is not all Pima county as the
democrats would have people believe,
For the constitutional convention
they put in nomination three
LAWYERS from Tucson. There is Meth
er fairness, justice, nor decency
in such treatment. 1t is deals OF this
character that disgusts the country.
Such manifest untairness is enough to
make the people of Southern Pima hunt
for new county. This idea OF grab all
and yield nothing, is bound to be ret
roactive. We marvel at the sbortcom-
lngs of party that has the termity togo
before the people of the country on 30
barefaced proposition. Such gross in
Justice was never before attempted in
Arizona and is bound to be resented at
the polls. Pima county is 10 miles
long by about IS miles wide, but the
democracy in convention assembled by
their actions said "the democracy Ct the
county is contained within the corporal,
limits of Tucson. II there is anything
outside il must feel honored at the re-
presentation we will give them" In &C
cordsnce Herewith they nominated
three attorneys from the ancient pueb-
To-"
The republicans on the other hand,
recognized the claims of the entire
county to representation in the conven-
tion that will form the constitution OF a
great state. Tucson was given one, CEN
tral Pima another, ard southern Pima
took the third, The republican party
recognized other interests than those re-
presented by the legal profession, they
recognized that agriculture, mining,
banking and stock raising were the lead
ing industries of the county and they
spportloned the representation among
them. 1t is to those industries that
Pima county owes her present prosperity
and wealth. 1t is on this basis the repub-
hcans will go before tbs people. The re-
suit is easily forshsdowed.

RESOLVED, That the nominees of thi:
convention be and are hereby pledged &c
oppose the submission of any constitu-
tion which does not provide for ties;
oath to voters, on the question OF po-
.ygamy, similar in spirit to that provided
by the constitution of Idaho.
The above plank was adopted by the
republican county convention OF Pima
county on Wednesday last as part OF
the platform on which Arizona is TO be
asked to go to sleep for four years more.
-Prospector.
Then let her sleep. We have as much
love for Arizona AID within our means,
will do as much to advance her inter
ests as any within her borders. But
when Arizona becomes state she must
be free from the domination OF the
Mormon priesthood. American free
states can govern themselves without
ecclesiastical interference OF any kind.
IL the Mormon church holds the balance
Of political power while Arizona Is a
Territory, we rise to remark right here,
that 1t will not do so when Arizona be-
comes state; il the CITIZEN can pre-
vent it. The records OF the courts of
the Territory of Utah, show that more
than half the Mormon dignataries-if
such they may be called-have suf-
fered Imprisonment and punishment
for the wilful and premeditated viola
tion of the civil laws of the land. Our
at Solomonvilie, a demo
crat in politics, but an American in
principle, openly charged the practice OF
polygamy and subornation of jurors
upon the Mormons of Graham county,
and challenged a refutation. The CITl-
ZEN called the attention of the Graham
Bulletin to these charges, but no atten
tion was given thereto. George Kelley
is to much OF an American to attempt
to shield or cover up such infamy. The
adoption of Test oath into the Cors
tuition of Arizona, will largely aid US in
securing statehood and at the same time
it will destroy forever the influence Of
church that is an enemy Of our govern
nent, in the politics of Arizona.

Although the noted case of Carr VS..
the National Elevator company, which
was brought before Judge Templeton
this fall to the validity Of the rules Of
the railroad commissioners, and the
statute which says an elevator shall re-
ceive grain for storage at a compensa-
tion Of two cents per bushel and which
was decided to be all right, did not
come up OH. appeal as was expected,
yet the matter will be heard at Fargo
by the supreme court in the case of
Louis W. Stoeser VS.. Norman Brass,
on appeal from decision by Judge
Morgan, in Ramsey county. He fol-
lows the ruling of Judge Templeton
and says the law is all right. The
point is squarely raised and the differ
ent attorneys will lock horns oyer the
problem. It is stated the reason the
Carr case did not come up was on ac-
count Of the present session of the
federal supreme court at Washington
having the precise question before
them, and the Carr case was held in
allegiance until that tribunal had said
what was the law. The case before
the United States supreme court is
from New York state, and grows out
OF a statute which, says that the big
terminal elevators in Buffalo shall not
receive more than stated sum for
storing grain. This case will be ar
gued in Washington this month and a
decision may be looked for before the
first of the new year.

Upham's Theory Endorsed.

UPham's Theory Endorsed.
The Turtle Mountain Indians furnish
some Important evidence supporting
Prof. Warren Upham's theory of alter
mating periods of wet and dry years in
North Dakota. This theory is well
known to readers of the Alert, through
through which medium it was first Civ.
on publicity ,and they will be interested
in the following story brought home by
party of Minneapolis gentlemen who
have been sojourning in the Turtle
mountains:
One day, so the story of the Minnea-
apolis gentlemen proceeds, they were
chatting with an old and rather intelli-
gent chief, and the heavy wheat yield
was alluded to. The old man, after
listening to what the visitors had said,
led them to the rear of his abode and
pointed to the stump Of large tree,
the top of which had been freshly
sawed off, showing clearly the rings
that had marked the trees growth
from year to year. According to the
rings the tree was about so years of
age. 1t was noticed for the first seven
or eight years, the rings were rather
indistinct and narrow. The tenth
ring was almost half an inch wide.
The eleventh was somewhat narrower,
and the twelfth narrower still, until
when the fourteenth year of growth
was reached the ring was very narrow.
The fifteenth was trif1e wider than
the fourteenth and sixteenth wider
than the fifteenth. The seventeenth
ring, just seven years from the tenth,
was nearly half an inch wide again.
This cycle of growth at periods of
seven years was carried forward with
out interruption to the outside ring,
which was formed this year, and was a
wide ono. Last years growth was
smaller than that of this year and the
ring for 1889 was smaller than either.
During the recent drouth years the
growth of the tree was shown by very
faint rings. The Indian argued from
this that the harvests in the northwest
haYe been abundant at periods of seven
years for at least half a century. He
then predicted that in 1892 the harvest
would be somewhat less abundant than
it was this year, and that 1893 would
fall behind 1892. By about 1895 the
crops will be short, with probability
of drouth, and the present year will
not be duplicated before 1898.
So argued the old chief, and when
the gentlemen of the party remembered
that the last bountiful harvest in the
northwest was in 1884, following which
year there was steady falling off until
the drouth years, and picking up
gradually until 1891, they were not
prepared to dispute what they had
heard.-Jamestown Alert.

The Bottineau Free Lance is emil
nently correct in this statement: The
reciprocity clause Of McKinley's tariff
law is doing more for the farmers of
the west than all the legislation enact
ed by democrats from the time of Thos.
Jefferson even unto the reign of Gro
yer Cleveland.-St. Thomas Times.
There are thousands of farmers
in the west SO blind that they can
not see just what good the recipro-
city clause has done them. Perhaps
the Times and Free Lance will con
descend to enlighten these people
and show them the great amount Of
good the ssgods'' provided in passing

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

Winter in country neighborhoods
is generally long dull season of rest
from the active labors that summer
brings to the farmer and his family.
This is a splendid opportunity to i'm
prove the mind and gain general
knowledge of the topics and literature
of the day. The education of children
in farming communities is often sadly
neglected. This may be overcome by
reading even the common weekly
newspaper, if nothing better is to be
had. Farmers families feel awkward
and out Of place among town people;
and even though they may be far richer
in this worlds goods and able to wear
richer clothes, yet they are often
laughed at by town people and appear
at great disadvantage. In this rush
ing, hurrying age every one must be
up to the times and, anyone not alive
and moving with the rapidly advancing
ranks drops out and becomes "old
fashioned and relic of past ages, al
nest looked upon as a relic Of curios-
ity.
1t takes just as much brains to make
farming a success as it does to make a
success of anything, and it is shame
to let this class be looked upon as a
race of inferior beings, untitled by lack
Of mental capacity for any other bust
ness. It is shame for farmers to SUBJ
nit to being called cold hayseed, y
"natives, "clodhoppers," and so on.
Why don't you 'brace up" and show
that you are not dead to the interests
OF the world at large?
Good reading matter is within the
reach Of every one now, and it is better
for one to be up with the times and
have general knowledge of the pas
sing events Of the day than to be able
to quote every historical date that ever
was recorded. Debating societies are
a good thing in the country; and while
those who take part may not reach out
into the deep subjects suitable for the
more highly educated people, yet it is
surprising, whom once they become in
terested in it, what an amount of in
formation may be gained. Reading
societies are being formed in country
neighborhoods and are great benefit,
particularly to the busy housewife.
The ladies meet in the afternoon at
some house, bring their work, and
while one reads aloud the others sew
or knit, and thus combine work and
pleasure in pleasant and profitable
manner. Sometimes circulating Ii
brary is formed, and after the books
and magazines have been read they are
sold to the highest bidder and the
money applied to the purchase Of new
ones. Thus by each paying small
sum monthly the whole neighhorhood
is supplied with reading matter. Then
this tends TO draw neighbors into a
more social way Of living, and SO by
Cling together, and having some.
thing Of interest to talk about, petty
scandal. which thriyes SO well in such
places, finds no room, and the commu-
nityis refined and elevated and made
better and wiser.
Young men and young women art
better tittsd IN this way to mingle will
other seciety and other classes. And
altogether the farm life becomes pleas
lanter, tho old home less Sdistastsful

North Dakota has passed through
her winter Of discomfort and is now
enjoying the sunshine of we'll

crop of cereals raised this year has
focused the eyes Of the world upon
her, and next year will witness the
largest influx of immigration she
has ever known since the palmy
days Of the early SOS. Cavalier
county, it seems, is destined to. re-
ceiye a large share Of this 1mmigra-
tion by reason Of the fact that she
has within her borders a larger body
Of available agricultural land than
any other county. The wheels are
already in motion, evidenced by the
fact that the Edgmoor Land Syndi-

are eagerly snatching up every piece
of decided land that they can find.
