Notwithstanding tho demand of the
 Western and somo of the Southern
 States for the freq coinage of Silver.
 and ths very large majority that the
 Eem"cg&is will have in the lower
 branch of the next Congress, there ap-
 pears little hope of the passage of a
 free coinage bill R. Q Mills, of Tex
 as, has abandoned the silver cause, and
 Senator Vest of Missouri, who Q few
 months ago was pronounced in his ol . position to Grover Cleveland, because of the latter's hostility to silver, is now quoted AS strongly advocating the nom- nation of Cleveland fer the Presiden- cy, and has said that "every Democrat should be willing to postpone the sii- yer question, if necessary, tp prevent Republican success These utteran- ces are not to be viewed tightly, as Mills and Vest undoubtedly voice the opinions of a very large part of the Democratic party While large ma iorlty of Democrats favor free coinage the belief is growing that the time is not propitiuus for forcing Ii Int n that issue, in view of the approach of presidential canvass The late election has made no perceptihls change in the relative strength of the two great poli- tical parties New York and Indiana remain the pivotal States, both of which it is necessary the Democrats shall carry in order to win in 1892. In both these States 1t IS generally ad- uitted the silver issue would greatly the Democrats, if not make it impossible for them to win.

Parties who have visited the scene ol the erection of the alleged bridge over the Gila river on the mythical Globr road, say that nothing oi sabstautinl character is yet in sight. The ahut ments or piers are built 50 lightly aui insecure that another flood like that e last February would sweep everything ont oi existence. AS tle matter uon stands, it is the opinion of nearly all the people of this vi,iuity that the bridge is being huilt for fun, for tue doubts that Pinnl county cau be maGe liable for it's construction huye grown iuto almost absolute certainty. Of one thing the most decided certainty exist. aud that Is, the warrants now in escrow for the Globe road and bridge con tracts will never loo iu.ladsd in tae PinM county Geht covered by the Ter nturial fnndiLg bonds They are not considered, and are not in auy seuse, a portion of the couuty's indebtedness and will surely be ignored by tue fund ing commissioners.

The Epitaph unblushingly says
 "Ihe consultation of the will be State
 of Arizona limits the rate of taxatiol in
 the counties to two per cent. The
 constitution itself promises that much,
 but covenents that the two per cent.
 shall cover all demands "iucluding
 general school tax. There are how
 ever, exec. .tio9s to that parsimonious
 limit. A county tax is not only au- thorized hut required to be levied for
 tho payment of the public debt and thu
 interest thereon, and exclusive of State revenue. The constitutio further pro- vides tax of three mills on the dollar to be collected by the respective coun- ties, Tor state revenue, but prohibits tine application of any money thus col lected from being applied ''iOr the sup port of the State, education and chaiit- able institutions, the payment of State deht and the interest thereon. she constitution requires the levy, in addi- tion to the above enumerated sums. of one mill upon each dollars worth of taxable property iu addition to all oth CT taxes for the extinguishment of drlts 1 already incurred and known as sink ing fund and such tax shall continue ns a lien on all taxable property until said ! sinking fund has extinguished all Ter f rtorial indebtedness and there also | shHll be annually assessed and collect ed m each county whose debt exceeds ln the aggregate fifty thousand (50, OOO) f dollars, Tn like manner, a tax of one. hdIi mill, as aforesaid, the fund to be applied in the same way in extinguish ment of county debts Those who have leisure may attempt to solve the enigma presented by the constitu ton limiting taxation of cuunt;es to two per cent aHd then adding addi. ,ional sums until the amount is greatly m excess of two per cent Our con Huston III reference to the matter i, .hat the framcrs of the State charter intended it as handle by which advo ,ates of statehood might hoodwink the ,Otgrs.

 proved by Jefferson and Hamilton,
 enacted to law by Congress in I708 and
 accepted hy the country for all public

 years of our country's history; that we
 believe gold and silver, not one to the
 exclusion of the other, are the money
 metals of the Consultation; that We are
 opposed to any law which treats sllyer
 as commodity; that We believe that gold and silver should have by law
 equal rights, uses and monetary lur- 1 poses, and to that end We demand of the Congress of the Unlted States the enactment of law by which silver shall be coined free in all the hints equally with gold, and to have with it full and unrestricted monetary power. and that the coinage be in the ratio of sixteen to one, and when the coinage is represented by Treasury notes each dollar ehall represent 412} grains of standard silver CT 9 8 grains of gold.
 The committee also resolved tbat their Senators aud Representatives in Congress are asked to take without de- lay snch steps as will be necessarv to ascertain why the Treasury Depart ment refuses to ohey the statutory re- qurements providing that tho coin paid for duties on imported goods shall be set apart as special fund, and shall be applied CD 10 the payment ir eoiu ef the interest Uu the bonds and notes of the United States; @ to the pur chase or payment of tue United States debt Millions of dollars of duties on imported goods have been paid into the national Treasury siuce 1873 in silver coin and silver certificates, not one cent of which has heen hy any Secretary Of the Treasury, at any time, devoted to the first and second objects hereinbe lore specified The resolutions pro tested against any construction of the statutes of tine United States which will result in the couhscatiou to the Pacific railways of the mineral claims within their grants, epl declare that the alien ct, so far 0s 1t operates to exclude for ''sn capital from investment in mining { ands in the Territories is false in lrnciple und pcrnicious ia effect, an ! ,huuld be repealed.

a BRAVE WOMAN.


How She Killed Seven Indians In De-
Tending Her Home.
The early annals of the west abound
in anecdotes OF fortitude under suffer
ing and heroism in circumstances of
peril among the wives and mothers of
the early pioneers. Many were the in
stances in which, when their cabins
were attacked by the savages, these
brave women displayed wonderful cour-
age and presence of mind. In Decem-
Der, 1901, small party of Indians at
tackled the dwelling-house of Nh. John
Merrill, in Nelson county, Kentucky.
Mr. Merrill was alarmed by the bark
ing of his dog, and opened the door to
see what was the matter, when he re-
ceived the fire of seven or eight Indians
by which his leg and arm were broken.
The Indians at once attempted to en-
ter the house, but Mrs. Merrill and her
daughter shut the door against them.
Then they hewed away n piece of the
door, and one of them wedged himself
part way through the opening. The
heroic mother dealt him fatal blow
with an AK, and hauled him through
the passage into the house.
The other savages, unaware of the
fate of their companion, and supposing
that they had now nearly succeeded in
their object, rushed forward One by
one they pushed themselves through
the door, and were despatched and
drawn inside by Mrs. Merrill, till five
dead Indians were in the house. Then
the others outside discovered what was
going on.
They retired for few minutes, but
soon returned and renewed their efforts
! to force an entrance Despairing OF
succeeding at the door, they attempted
to descend the chimney. Mr.. Merrill
heard them, and anticipating their de.
sign, ordered his small son to cut open
feather bed, and throw the feathers
on The fire.
Two of the Indians were already de
scending the wide-mouthed chimney
The smoke and heat from the burning
feathers greeted them most unpleasant
ly. Choking, coughing and well-nigh
suffocated, they came tumbling dowr
into the room!
Mr.. Merrill seized a billet of WOOD
and dispatched the half-smother
ed redskins, and Mrs. Merrill in tn,
meantime was defending the doc
against the efforts of single savage
Finally he, being wounded, retired, anC
the family We're not disturbed agai1
that night
A prisoner who escaped from the In
dians soon afterward stated that thC
wounded savage was the only one of hi
party of eight braves that escaped
When he returned and was asked
"What news?" he answered:
bad news for Indian; me lose son
me lose broder. White squaw yer.
brave; she fight better than Long
Knives, the name given to the whit
men by the Indians because of thei
long swords. Youths Companion.

At Some SEASONS of the Year He Is an In
furious Bird.
The downy woodpeclser, Picus pu6es-
Gems, is the sap-suc<er, although the
small red-headed and yellow bellied
woodpecber (P gariuS) is equally given
to this nefarious habit of boring through
the bark Of various trees in the spring
and early summer to feed upon the
inner bark and sweet sap which flows
abundantly at this season. Varying be-
liefs exist in regard to this birds hab-
its, as also TO those of the mole whose
ways are dark in double sense. Or
nithologists believe the bird or birds
eat only insects, just as other natural
lists insist that the mole is only car
nivorous beast The majority of farm
ers and gardeners, however, think 9TH
erwisc--with good reason, unquestion-
ably, and | must maintain that they are
right; for, as to the mole, have de-
tected the remains of sweet corn in its
stomach and have proved the existence
of starchy food in it by the unerring
test of iodine. And as to the downy
woodpecl1er, l have equally good evi-
dence that it does really feed upon the
soft inner bark and sap of various trees,
