PREACHERS MUST PROSTITUTE THEIR
BRAINS,n

In speaking further concerning the Park
hurst crusade has this to say:
The action Of the Rev. DR.. ParkhuTst
Of New York, In constituting himself
detective, and visiting houses Of ill-fsmt
In order TO obtain evidence on which tC
demand their suppression, Is being wide.
" criticised. There are many who de-
nounce his course as altogether incon-
slstent with morality and the profession
TO which he belongs, while In other quar-
ters he Is commended for his zeal and
boldness. The Voice puts the whole case In
nutshell when 1t says that "if Dr. Park
hurst was not justified, 1t will be difficult
to justify the detective service. y
He has, so far as the rules of morality
are concerned, just as much right as any
professional detective to do what he did.
The rules Of morality are the same for
detectives as for preachers" This Is
sound logic 80 far as the personal ques-
ton ia concerned. But the regrettable
and hopeless part OF the whole business
is that in all the wordy discussion that
has been stirred up by this crusade,
hardly any Of the participants seem to
grasp the real question at lssue-the pos
ability Of doing anything to STAMP out"
vice-whlle present social conditions
continue.
We are treated to long winded sermons
and moral disquistions on the lniquity Of
great cities aud the need of moral reform
or greater police vigilance, or to vigor-
GUS denunciations Of the conduct Of DR..
Parkhurst In acting as he did, but no one
seems to understand that prostitution is
an inevitable consequence of the COM
petitlve system. 1t Is utter folly to talk
>of crushing out vice and suppressing
dsns Of iniqulty so long as there are In
all our large cities tens Of thousands of
women compelled TO work for less than
subsistence wages, or unable to find en-
ployment on any terms. The breaking
up of particular establishments which
have become notorious or nuisance to
the neighborhood effects no good pur-
pose. This has been done In every large
city again and again, the only result be-
ing that the evil rea-ppears in some
fresh shape. Rsformers like DR.. Park
hurst accomplish no good, simply be-
cause, like quack doctors, they are lgnor-
ant Of the causes OF the disease they
rashly undertake to treat, and merely
deal with its external symptoms. II the
doctor really wishes to suppress or lessen
prostitution he should use his talents to
overthrow monopoly, and to enlighten
the public as to the cause and cure Of
poverty-the parent of all social evil.
This sort of work would not be as &C
ceptable to his congregation and might
cost him his position; but were he the
true, courageous, single hearted reformer
that he claims to be, such considerations
would not deter him.
If the shallow takers and writer's who
are giving vent to so much irrelevant nom
sense about that Parkhurst crusade,
would but stop to consider the causes
that drive thousands of poor girls yearly
10 lives Of shame-but there is no use
completing the sentence. In that case
the capltalistlc press would not publish
their productions. They must prostitute
their brains as the others do their bodies.

Dos Cabezas.

Sheriff Kelton who has returned from Dos Cabezas brought back some very rich ore from the Casey mine. It is literally filled with gold. He broke the rock himself. He thinks as do all others who have been through the mine that it is the making of ths biggest producers of gold of any mine in the United States. At present work is being done in a shaft just above the big dike and the ore is rich and there is no end to it. The only draw back to the country is the number of fail ures that have been made by men of no means who have sought to get rich out Of working custom ore in a ten stamp mill. Dos Cabezas district, is like every other gold district, it needs big capital to handle it and no less than hundred stamps to work the ore.

 THE supposi ton which minimizing, oversanguine residents of Tucson ard Florence have, that the Santa Fe ex- tention is to build across A desert in preference to going through a rich agricultural. stock and mining coun- try, to get to a connection with it's Benson and Guaymas branch, IS sim ply rediculous. The Southern Pacific road and its route across Arizona has taught the Santa Fe lesson, as we'll as the stockholders of the s. P. itself. This company is not going to commit suicide this year. The taxable property along the San Pedro river between Benson and Florence is estimated at s1 .0O0J0O0 of which the assessors book shows S203, ,733 in -Cochise county alone. The taxable property between Florence and Tucson does not amount to anything; anyone who has ridden over the road between Casa Grande and Florence, knows the character of the country between Florence and Tucson. Had the Southern Pacific followed the Gila River from Yuma to Phenix, when it constructed it's road fourteen years ago. it would not now have been fighting for a foothold in the central part of this Territory. If the Santa Fe does not build the con- pecting link between the A. & F. and Benson via the San Pedro valley. the Southern Pacific Co which has force of surveyors in the field at Phenix, will not be slow in taking advantage of grand opportunity.

VERA CRUZ.
An Historical, but Dirty City as Seen by a CO- chise County
 Resident.
PUEBLA, Estada de Plebla,

March l4.
 ED. PRosPEcToR On the 1Ith inst we start from Jalapa Tor the port of Vera Cruz. Jalspa is A fine little city of some 1000 inhabitants. It is the capital of Vera Cruz, is lighted with electricity, and traversed with street cars hauled by six mules on account of it's steep street.. Not 4 carriage is to be seen in the city; they cannot be used, as most of the streets are so steep. or terraces and stone stairways prevent their passage.
 Some beautiful homes are to be found in the city, and many very pleasant people.
 Cotton, rice and coffee are the states principal staples. Coffee sells at S25 per hundred pounds.
 We went some sixty miles by horse car, at times passing down grades 20 degrees, the mules having to run for dear life to keep from under the cars. The last twenty miles were made by the Mexican R. K. which owns the horse car line.
 Vera Cruz has some very extensive commercial houses and does flour ishing trade. The population is be- tween 35,O00 and 10000. Eighteen steamers were anchored in the harbor, representing many nations, and our stars and stripes stood out in broad relief among them We always take of our hat to our old flag when we meet it in this republic, whether on the high seas or on land. Vera Cruz is being visited lately with heavy northers. A German steamer has been lost, and the American bark, George Washington Jr., lays stranded upon the beach and has been sold for old lumber.
 We cannot be surprised at so much yellow fever at Vera Cruz at all sea- sons. IL is sleepy, lazy, filthy city, setting as it does only about two feet above tide flood (and if it were not for the walls the city would be fooded) it has scarcely any drainage, and what it does have passes off sluggishly in open channels. Every imaginable filth from all the dives and dens and out houses pass through the streets, and eye and nostrils catch it all. Buzzards swarm through the streets and perch upon house tops like they would around a slaughter house pen, trying to put the filth out of the way. l counted over seventy at one sight; you have to kick them out Of the way, they have become so domesticated.
 went to my hotel. sick at my stom- ach, and dreamed all night of filth and yellow fever. Nert morning I turned my back upon the city, and was soon in the mountains breathing z the fresh air made redolent with many wild flowers and coffee shrubs now hanging heavy with bloom.

As Others See Us.

L. c. Hughes, who has been visiting Tombstone, has returned home, and writes various pretty things about Tombstone, from which the following Is an extract:
 Tombstone is quiet, yet there is A large amount of treasure taken out of the mines daily. About S35 !0O0 monthly are paid out for wages to mIners working in the Tombstone district. While the present Tomb stone is not booming, the near future Tombstone is full of promise, for there are millions of treasure yet untouched within radius of mile of the court house. All that is required to bring it to the surface is union o: action among the mine owners. It can be said to the credit of Tombstone that not a half-dozen of loafers can be seen on her streets either day or night. All who want work can get it."

THE best man that could be though

THE best man that could be thought of to fill the office of commissioner to look after the exhibit of Cochise at the Worlds Fair, as suggested by the governor, in another column, is Tom Sorin. He did splendid work at Den yer few years ago in that capacity. He is an enthusiast on the subject of the resources of our county, and knows every inch of ground iu it and what it produces. He would gather an exhibit of which we might feel proud.

GLANDS speech in the house in ad- vocacy of the passage of the silver bill known as the Bland Bill" was a grand one. He denounced the at tempts for international conference and international agreements every time the free inage of silver is pro posed. Are we to be shackled here by the apathy of the governments ofother nations? Is our financial system to be regulated not by our own ideas of justice and our own conveniences. but by the conveniences of other nationsi The moment this great government declares for the free coin age of silver, the other nations will too solve that question Self interest will compeli them to do SO. The res toration of silver here means the res- toration of it the world over. Gold and silver have been the servants of civilization since civilization began. They are twin brothers and when you sever the ligature bo,l, are dead Gold is . tyrant. Gold won't tolerate any cempesisor. He must dominate or he will have nothing to do with your finances. Let silver be coined once and sss the result then. You bring him to the level of the common peo- pJs cf this country. te the level of sil- vss vhsss hs eusht to b."

ON Saturday last the house passed the bill amending the act appropriat- ing the Arizona funding act of 1890 by making the interest on the bonds payable semi annually instead oi annually. The provision that the principal shall be paid in gold was stricken out, to meet the objections raised by the Alliance members, and an amendment inserted making il payable in lawful money of the United States. Whether or not this will hare any effect agains. the negotiation of the bonds is an open question, the parties who purchased them, took them, it is said, on the understanding that they should read "gold coin"

To the Secretary of the Republican

It has been suggested, by number of the members Of the League Club at this place, that a Territorial organiza- ton should be formed the better to uniiy and systematize the work oi Republican propaganda in the coming six months.
 As a considerable number of the leading Republicans of the territory will assemble at Phenix on April 7th for-another purpose, that time would seem opportune for such a meeting and organizations as we propose, and the local club here will probably hold meeting this week to consider the matter of delegates to such gather ing.
 The time is short, souc one mus, take the initiative and I have assumed the responsibility of sending a com munication similar to this to each ol the cluts throughout the territory.
 Will you kindly lay ttis before your club with the request that they move promptly in the matter pro or con.
 am very truly, yours for the cause
