Silver Belt Notes.

The stage driver from Riverside yes terdsy brought information that the father of J. T. Harrington, who WAS to supposed to have been killed by fall from his horse, ia the Ripsey district, Plnal county, had the body exhumed and discovered a gunshot wound. which had probably caused young Harring- tons death. lii. Dosier, brother of Bud and Steve Dcsier, was arrested on suspicion, as was also Taylor Branamsn. It is claimed that Branaman can prove an alibi. as he was driving the etage be- tween Florence and Riverside at the time Harrington was killed.
 The repairs to the Klein mill, former ly the Centennial, are we'll under way. Every part of the mill will be thorough ly overhauled. The concentrators are now being put in, and within week the mill will be ready to start up. The trial run will be made on tailings, of which there IS large quantity, and which 1t is believed will yield good re- turn. The capacity of the mill will be 20 tons, and there will be DO difficulty in getting full supply of ore. as MT. Klein expects to be able to work S30 ore at profit. Paul Johnson, one of the best mill men in the county, will be in charge, assisted by a competent man coming froa California. The success of the venture Is greatly to be desired as it would be of more benefit to Globe than almost any other enterprise that could be started.

its proper place and value as money, it would require long time to arrive at a definite plan of acton, and, as the next session of congress must end by consti- tutionsl limitation on March 4, there is little likelihood that the final judgment of the conference will be reached before that date.
 If our government should in the mean time stop its purchases of silver, the bullion market would be greatly dis turbed land heavy decline in the price of silver would inevitably follow. This might have the effect of frightening the conference into an attitude of hostility to silver, whereas if existing conditior s are maintained, friendly action on the part of the conference may be expected with considerable show Of reason.
 There does not ssem to be much doubt that President Cleveland will use all his influence to put the United States on purely gold basis, and if the monetary conference fails to solve the bimetsllic problem, it is not unlikely that one of the first measures to be passed by the fifty third congress will be bill for the repeal of the present silver purchase act. It will be better. however to leave the responsibility for such action to ths democrats, and we earnestly hope, therefore, that no serious sttempt will be made during the coming session of congress to repeal :he exist ing lsw.-Denver Republican.

THE president lad lengthy conferen- encss last week with Chairman Garter, Secretary McComas and other members of the national committee, and the cor dial manner in which he received them shows that he does not consider their management to blame for his defeat The president believes that the repub- lican party has brilliant future before it, and be impresses upon his prominent republican visitors the necessity, not only for keeping up the organization Of tks party as it now exists; but to im- prove upon it and make it permanent thing. This is 6 new idea in politics, but it is an excellent one, and # the masses of the party will cooperate the republican party is bound to grow and grow until it again dominates this coun- try.

Why Many Editors are Skeptics.

In the following the Rev. T. D. Tal- mage undertakes to explain the reason why so many newspaper men are skep- tic:
 One of the greatest trials of the news paper profession is that it's members arc compelled to sse more of the shams of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office pass day after day, all the wickedness of the world, all church pickering, all vanities than want to be repaid; all the mistakes than want to be corrected; all the dull speakers who want to. be thought elo- quent; all the meanness that wants to get it's wares noticed gratis in the edito rials columns, in order to save the tax of the advertising columns; all the men who want to be set right. who were nev- CT right; al the cracked brain philosoph- CTS with stories as long as their hair and as gloomy as their finger nails sn mourn ing, because bereft of soap; all the bores who come to stay minutes, but talk hours. Through the editorial and re- portial rooms all the fOiles and shams of tha world are seen cay after day and ten ptatation is to beli V. neither God, man or womin. It is no surprise to me
 het in this r;of.ssion the-a are some
 kept.ca! men; only woaCe that ioprn- aistS believe anything.

IT is as certain as anything in the fu-
 lure can be that the receipts of the gov ernment for the fiscal year under Cleve- lsnd-JuIy l. 1893, to June 30, 1s94- will fall short of it's absolutely necessary expenditures, unless MT. Cleveland calls an extra session and that extra session shall provide for new revenue in some way, and Republican extravagance' will not be the cause, either. The de- fcit will be caused by the natural fal- ling off in import duties. the source from which the greater portion of our reve- nus comes. Importers will not pay the present tariff when by waiting until the Democrats have agreed upon some sortof hodge. podge of q tariff it may be great deal lower, and manufacturers who use materials upon which there are duties will only import enough for their imme- diats needs, as it would be rninous to them to be caught with big stock on hand when the Democratic slump ID tariff rates goes into effect. Already Democrats high in the councils of the psrty are advocating an income tax, and it need surprise nobody should this tax be imposed by the Congress which owes its existence kto promising lower .itax- ation.

IT is stated with sn appearance sf su- thority that Cleveland has declared that he will accept DO dictation from Tsmns ny and that he does not owe his election to New York.

And again, next day, it is stated with sn appearance of equal sutEority that Tammany has the promise of all New York State offices, and even one or two positions in the Cabinet.

THE democratic party has never lacked impudence, but It's proposition that the republican senate should help it out of the predicament in which 1t
 will find itself after the 4th of March is A llttle ahead of its previous efforts in that line. It would really be amusing if the matter was not so serious. There gre the very best of reasons for the be lief that no one single republican sen stor will join ,ths democrats in voting for any of the tariff bills passed by the house at the last session, or for any mea- sure that may be proposed to lessen the responsibility of the coming democratic administration and congress-. The de- mocrats have made promises that they have no idea of keeping, and now they would like to throw portion of the blame on the republicans. The repub- lican party has never shirked its own responsibilities, nor made promises to the people knowing that it would be impossible to keep them, and it will not help to shield the party that has done both from the popular wrath, already beginning to manifest itself.

This morning was the time set for the great Democrstis rally, and they rallied after Dem ocrstic style.
 The theory, "To the victors belong the spells" was amply illustrated by the various representatives of the party, for they had the whole street to themselves, and tNsy used it. The whole thing is the though, and they had a right to use 1t.

rrw MEXICO AND ARIZONA.

During the first session of the present Congress says the Denver Republican the House passed bills for the admission of both New Mexico and Arizona ss ststes. These measures are now pend jag in the Senate, and is is isprobsbls that they will be called up and acted upon during the coming winter.
 Both of the Territories named srs en- titled to admission, and to keep them cut any longer than the present session would bs unjust. This is particularly true of New Mexico, which has been standing for yesrs at the doors of the Union and knocking for admission. It has both population and wealth enough to maintain e state government, and it should have been admitted years ago.
 Arizona is neither SO. wealthy nor 70 popuisus ss New Mexico, but it Is, nsv- srtheless, entitled to statehood. The claims of Wyoming and Idshe when they were admitted were about upon 6 par with those of Arizona, and if the lat ter should be denied statehood ct this time it would look like q partisan decis- ion which could not be justified by any argument. The question of what the politics of proposed state would be ought never to stand in the way of its admission, for the prime confederation is not what oeurse it would take in re- spect to national politics, but whether the inhabitants are in c situation to de- nsnd the right of local sslt-gevern- msnt.
 The theory of our government is that it is 6 union of states. The condition of . Territory is for temporary purposes only. The Territorial government should be maintained only during what may be oslled the period of pupilage, during which by increase in population and wealth the new oonmunity is pre- paring for the duties and privileges of | statehood. With statehood comes the 1 right of self govsrnment-ths right of the people to make their own laws and { to select among themselves the officers to snforcs those laws. A Territory is . province of the national government, and Congress has no right to compel the inhsbitsnts of Territory to submit to . provincial government sny longer than the sxigsncies of the case may demand.

THE PRESENT SILVER LAW.

Congress should not attempt to re- peal the law which requires the Tressu- T department to purchase 4,5O0,OOO ounces of silver every month, e its in coming session under any circumsta.- stances.
 The law was enacted by Republican Congress. Every Republican in both Houses voted for 1t, while, with one or *weexceptlons, all the Democrats voted against 1t. It was signed by President Harrison, and we do not believe that he would approve . bill for it's repeal even if both houses should concur in passing such meesure'
 Much is said in the East in opposition to the present law, especially by Demo- cratic leaders and newspapers in sympa- thy with Presldent Clsvelsnd's hostility to silver, but no good reason has been advanced as yet by anybody why the monthly purchases of silver should be stopped.
 Since the act went into effect ir the summer of 1890, the Treasury depart nent has purchased 100000 ounces of silver, snd the circulation has been in creased about an equal plumber of dollars by the issue of the Treasury notes in ex- change for the bullion purchased.
 This is the only addition that has been made to our circulating medium in that time, and it has been partly dis counted by sn export of gold in excess of the imports. The eIportstion of gold would hsve gone on anyhow even if the Treasury department had not is- sued notes for silver purchased, and the money supply of the country would be in much less satisfactory condition thal it is at present if it were not for the additions to the cireplstion caused by the present silver law.
 It is hardly probable that the Interna- tionsl Monetary Conference will reach any definite result during the coming ssssion of congress. If . majority of the delegations appointed to attend the con- ference should favor the adoption of | msssprss designed ts rsstsss silver to l

The City of Free Trade.

A pilgrim -'rollei at the early dawn, Where a river f owed by the sea, To watch tle ships when the tide came in. And see what their freight might be; A noble ship t.lat had braved the storms Was anchored outside the bar. While an unknown flag streamed from hcf
 mast,
 Untouched by the trace of a star. Near by the bluff was the ruin old Where a bGstling city had stood. Where wealth was mined from under her
 hills
 And was wrought from the wayside wood; But the anvil was gone from the block And the wheel of the mill was still The tenement rows were tenantless, In the city under the hill There were signs of better days gone by A church with toppling tower, That stood a sentinel of the dead In the gleam of that morning hour; And blackened timbers of years agone Were casting their shadows of gloom. The rall of death-on forsaken streets That were hushed as the voiceless tomb And fields untitled on the hillside stood With their waste of briar and thorn. That once were the fields of nodding plumes With their bountiful wealth of corn; lLc OO tue ClIg NdS AOct, And the fall of the foot unheard. The only sound on the misty air Was the pines that the sea breeze stirred The tide came in. and the ship rode in. Well freighted from over the sea, With the wares that pauper labor wrought In a land where heI ports are free; Her hold was filled with iron and steel, To an inland city consigned, That stood in the shades of towering hills That were teeming with wealth unmined- The pilgrim asked of the mate on board, As she passed by a ruined mill, "What plague has smitten the people here In this city under uhe hill?" And the mate replied. vi h naughty pride, To the question iie ril-Tim made, That the rla:'-r that l1:j tie city low Was the pestilence of free trade.
