SONS OF THE AMERICAN REvO-
 LUTON.

THE REPUBLICAN made mention sev- eral days ago of Col. Charles D. Poston's mem bership in the society of "Sons of the American Revolution" Since then Colonel Poston has received communi- cations from several gentlemen over the Territory who are descendants of sol diers in the revolution, and asking par ticulars concerning the society. The society first came into existence in San Francisco, on the Fourth of July, 1876. Vice-presidents were elected in some of the Eastern States, but nothing was done toward organization there until 1883, when the New York State society was organized. In 1888 society was organized in Pennsylvania, and in 1889 similar organizations were formed in thirteen other States. In 1890 a na- tional organization was effected, and twenty-six States and the District of Columbia now have auxiliary societies. The objects of the society, as set forth m it's constitution, are as follows:
 l.-To perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men who achieved American Indepen- dence, by the encouragement of historical re- search in relation to the Revolution and the publication of its results, the preservation Of documents and relies and of the records of the individual services Of Revolutionary soldiers and patriots, and the promotion of celebrations of all patriotic anniversaries.
 2-To carry out the injunction of Washington in his farewell address to the people: "To pro mOte as an object of primary importance, tn- slitutions for the general diffusion of knowl- edge."-thus developing an enlightened public opinion and affording to young and old such advantages as shall dcvelope in them the larg- est capacity for performing the duties of Ameri- can citizens.
 S-To cherish, maintain, and extend the in stituIions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of lib- erty.
 Any man over twen.y-one is eligible for membership who is descended from an ancestor who, with unia.ling loyalty, rendered material aid to the cause of American Independence as a soldier or a seaman, or a civil officer in one of the Colonies or States. provided the appli- cant be acceptable to the Society.
 Besides those who have written to Colonel Poston there are several resi- dents of Phoenix eligible to membership, and it is desired to form an auxiliary society for Arizona. All residents of the Territory who are eligible to mem- bership are requested to send particulars to either Colonel Poston or to the editor of TIE REPUBLICAN, and as soon as enough names have been secured a meeting will be called for the purpose of organization.

TIE itinery of President Harrison'i

TIE itinery of President Harrison's western trip given to the press few days ago indicated that he would pass through Arizona over the Southern Pacific railroad. Since the lack of rail- road communication precudes the idea of his visiting Phoenix, TIE REPUBLICAN would suggest that the people of all Southern Arizona, and for that matter of all the Territory, unite in one grand reception to the President at Tucson. Let the leading men of that city get to- gether and appoint the proper com mittees and telegraph on to Washington to see if the President will not make a short stop among us. Whatever action is taken must be done quickly, and Tucson citizens are too enterprising to allow anything of the kind to go by de- fault

IF MAJOR MCKINLEY should be nomin- ated for Governor of Ohio he will have to calculate on greater opposition than any American nominee has ever before encountered. Of course the Democratic party, just now directed by the English Mugwump element, will oppose him although some Democrats, who place principle above party, may vote for him. Then England, with all the thunder of the London press. will oppose him, and strive for the defeat of the man who is compelling British manufacturers to look for factory sites in America. Ger many, which sends us German goods and keeps out American pork, will oppose him. Austria will look anxiously for his discomfture, and France and Italy will pray for the repu- diation of Mckinley.

 As will be seen elsewhere in today's REPUBLICAN the County Central Com mittee yesterday very wisely decided not to call convention to nominate candidates for the Constitutional Con vention but to call a general meeting of the committee April 27. and let that body make the nominations. To TIE REPUBLICAN this action seems wise as it does away with 2 heavy expense and in no wise fails to get the views of Repub- lican voters as the committee itself is a thoroughly representative body. Where ever any committeeman is unable to attend the meeting, he should ii possi- ble, give his proxy to some one in his own precinct who can be present, but if unable to do this see that he is repre- sented by some good Republican of the county. By such means a full attend ance can be secured and that is much to be desired.

IN Stockholm, Sweden, women carry mortar and bricks up to the masons, and they are paid about 30 cents a day for this kind of work. In sixteen cities in England the average daily wages of hod carriers are S3 cents. In twenty-six cities of the United States the average daily wages are s2.44. When women do this work in the United States for the same price as in Sweden we shall be able to build just as cheaply as they do in Sweden. How happy this will make flee traders.

About NOgales.

From the Nogales Herald.
 The future prospects of Nogales are brighter than June morning in Ari. zona-and there's nothing brighter.
 When gambling halls can furnish to their patrons high class of opera mu- sic it is pretty sure sign that times are lively in Nogales.
 special freight train loaded with lumber came up on the Sonora road Fri day night. From this it appears that sonora is shipping lumber into the United States.
 It is a pretty sure thing that the Santa Fe people will in very short time build line from some point on their road in New Mexico to Benson, thereby making a continuous route to the gulf at Guaymas.

SAYS the Fresno Republican: Tn the death of II. k. Jeffords, United States Attorney for Arizona, the Department of Justice has lost one of it's most bril- liant attaches. He was a scholarly man, , widely read and cultured and an able lawyer. He had been in ill health for some years, and death really came as a welcome relief from. great bodily pain. Deceased leaves wife and three chil- dren, who have the sympathy of wide circle of friends and acquaintances in their bereavement"

SAYS the San Francisco Bulletin "It must be gratifying to the people of Arizona to learn from Secretary Proctor that Geronimo's Apaches have not been sent to New Mexico, and will be kept in Alabama lmahently. It removes a grave source of uneasiness and will en- courage the progress of the Territory. Now fl the San Carlos Apaches could be sent to the Indian Territory, and that reservation opened to white settle. ment, Arizona would soon be Tn a posi- ton to claim Statehood"

It affords pleasure to the management of THE REPUBLICAN to be entitled to ac- knowledge steady and marked increase in the circulation. This, doubtless, is the best, as it is the most substantial, evidence that could be given that 1t is gaining the approval and confidence of the people. The more so is this gratify- ing, as the new subscribers rank among the best and most substantial residents of Arizona; these invariably have mani tested their kindly feeling, not simply by becoming subscribers, but by their accompanying favorable and kindly ex- pressions of appreciation.

THE REPUBLICAN cannot see how it said anything uncomplimentary of Gen. eral Wilson in it's remarks concerning his appointment. Rather, it paid him a high compliment. Possibly some of the men who stabbed the General in the back in 1888 felt their toes pinched by the commendation of General Wilson's answering Republicanism.

TIE REPUBLICAN publishes this morn- ing communication from an old resi- dent of the Territory in regard to the poor mail, express and passenger facili- ties afforded PhUnix at present. It seems to us that with the proper effort a day could be saved on all east-bound mail and travel. Onlya a few days ago Captain Duncan and Captain Tevis lett here in private conveyance at 4 o'clock in the morning and drove through to Maricopa in time to catch the east bound train, and that, too, without a change of horses. The present mail and express facilities are fearful, and surely if the matter was pushed vigorously be- fore the proper officials it could be rem edied. Now for nearly fifty days we have been cut off from rapid communi- cation, and at least thirty days more of the same sort to go through. It IS time for an improvement.
