Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1892-12-21

candidate for commissioner of In dian affairs. The JoURNAL-M MINER would like to see Mir. Hughes ap- pointed governor of the territory, but if he does not want that posi-
 ton, We are for Mir. Hughes for anything that he wants. Aside from his services to his party in Ali zona, his fealty to Grover Cleve- land at the Chicago convention and the support given him there, makes it almost a certainty that he will receive recognition in some substantial way by the incoming administration.
 We can not impress too greatly upon the minds of the miners the importance of having their proper ties properly represented at the Worlds Fair. Charles NJ. Clark has been appointed commissioner from this county, and will do everything in his power tohave the county we'll represented. Mir, Clark is 8 thor ough mining man, having been en- gagged in the mining business near ly all his life, but he cannot make a success of a mineral exhibit unless he receives the hearty and cordial cooperation of miners. The time allowed for the preparation and shipment of an exhibit is limited, and parties desiring to avail them selves of this excellent opportunity to advertise their properties should move in the matter at once.
 The Washington associated press correspondent evidently has not read Mark Smiths campaign speeches, or if he has he is not in sympathy with MT. Smith. During the campaign Marcus Amelius as sured the voters of Arizona that he had already secured the passage of a bill providing for the repayment to the settlers of the Tucson land district moneys that the democratic receiver, Fred Smith, had stolen from. A telegram of Tuesday stated that the bill had just been passed by the house. MT. Smith as- sured the people of Arizona that the bill for the admission of Arizona, which had already passed the house, would be passed by the senate immediately after congress assembled, in December. The Asso- ciated press correspondent says that the democrats have decided not to press the bill, but will probably le t it lie over until the next term of congress. During the campaign Mir. Smith gravely announced to the people, whose suffrages he sought that the only reason that the democratic house failed to pass the silver coinage bill passed by the senate was, that they were afraid President Harrison might veto it, and this would strengthen him in New York, but he assured the peo- pie of Arizona that the bill would be passed early in this session, and then if President Harrison vetoed it the democratic administration in case of the success of the party would rush it through at the first session of the next term of congress. Now telegram comes from Wash ington saying that it is believed that no legislation affecting silver will occur at this session. Verify and truly, the democratic party is one of false promises and of false pre- teuses, and Marcus Aurelius Smith is its prophet. NIT. Smith should look after that press correspondent.
 Notwithstanding the recent "cold snap" we are prepared to say, that the climate of northern Arizona can not be excelled by any place on the globe as an "all-the-year-round eli mate." The mercury, it is true, has fallen to within ten or twelve de- grees of zero for several days, and one morning reached five degrees. Owing however to the dryness of our atmosphere, no greater incon- venience is felt from this tempera- ture than would be in the eastern states, where the humidity is greater, with the thermometer at 9 above. It sends the blood tingling through ones veins, and gives him a renewal of youth, and excites in his nature a sympathy for the poor souls who live where frosts are unknown and whose blood grows sluggish in their veins, and who in consequence lose their energy and vitality. It also
 arouses his sympathy for those poorer souls who live in the land ol the other extreme. In the land of blizzards and cyclones. In the land where the mercury freezes in the thermometers. In the land where man works six months in the year to provide food and fuel to main tain him and keep him warm during the other six monts. Truly, the people of this section have much to be thankful for, if they can only ap- preciate it. They have not the sweltering heat of summer expe- rienced by places not 15O miles from here, and where the winters even are so mild as to produce ennui and want of energy in its in- habitants. Neither do they have the extreme cold of winter that
 freezes the very blood in ones veins almost, but our summers are de- lightfully cool, and our winters just
