MT. Carlisle Not a Candidate.

EDITOR CITIZEN:-In the editorial columns of your paper you have been kind enough to say, that the use of my name as a candidate for the office of school trustee, would meet the wishes of tLe general public in this city. In my opinion no higher compliment can be rendered a citizen, than that of ask ing him to serve officially in connection with our pubic schools. The founders of these states intended that every citl- zen should have agood, clear, instructed brain, which he could turn upon every human occupation with success; that the average man in every town and city and school district should be fit to do ID his 'wn, all the duties of the state In these schools We look for a security above and beyond the law, in the devel opment of an enlightened moral senti- ment. The man, who, in the hum blest official capacity gives his honest earnrst efforts to up-build, widen out and strengthen the educational institutions of the common country is doing, the best work of his life, as an American citizon.
 l am sorry that under the laws of the Territory. 1 am not as yet, an eligible candidate, nor am I situated so that the candidacy IS possible for me. Agais. thanking you and other friends for the compliment, am sir,
 Yours cordially,
 0. B. CARLISLE.

The militia was then invited into the Colonel's residence where a most hearty reception was rendered them. While the reception was in progress, the Phil harmonic band arrived, and played some of their sweet serenade music, after which they participated in the recep- tion. Refresh ments were served, and a most enjoyable evening WAS passed.

COMMERCIAL disaster has followed the repeal of tariff laws or the radical re- duction of duties in every instance in the history of this country excep. in 1846, at which time We were engaged in a war with Mexico, which was followed immediately by the Crimean war, when England mad most of her pauper labor enlisted as soldiers. Even then distress was only delayed. When the effects of war abroad and of the discovery of gold in California wore off, the free trade tariff of 1846 got in its work and brought on the delayed but still inevitable panic, In 1858 the country learned that while the evil might be retarded and delayed. ultimate escape from the panic that al. ways follows Democratic tariff reform, was impossible.

A Big Haul.

SAN FRANCISCO, June l2.-John Gil son, Secretary of the Judson Mauufac- turing Company, drew s17,OOO in gold and silver com from the Bank of British Columbia this morning and took the Oakland ferry-boat to cross the bay and pay off the 300 employees of the con. pany at its factory and rolling mills at Em- oryville station, between Oakland and Berkley.
 Leaving the ferry-ooat he took the Berkley train and when the train stop ped at the B street station two men sprang aboard and hasteDed to Gilson's seat. There at the point of a revolver they compelled GIlson to give up the two sacks containing the coin.
 The men then jumped from the slow ly moving train and entered buggy, which was subsequently ascertained had been hitched in front of B street for a time during the morning, and drove away.
 Gilson fired five shots from the plat form of the train and one of the men, who ha his face blackened, returred the shots, but none of them took effect.
 The passengers on the train were mostly merry-makers on their way to a picnic, and they were dumbfounded at the scene rapidly enacted before them. Word vas hastily sent to Oakland and guards were established at the ferry boats and on some of the roads leading to the country, but nothing had been seen of the men at a late hour.
 The man who had his face blacked is described as wearing blue overalls and jumper, while the other wore blue trousers and linen duster, and the theory prevails that the men were dis charged employees familiar with Secre- tary Gilson's methods.
 No trace of the robbers has been found up to a late hour tonight, though the horse and buggy which they used were found near the Market street sta- tion in Oakland thIs afternoon. In the buggy were a number of things for which the robbers had no further use, but the gold and silver had disappeared. The articles left in the buggy furnish further evidence of the skill with which the deed was planned and executed. There were two sets of armor intended to protect the desperadoes from tke shots Of their opponents in a hand-to- hand encounter or within pistol range. There were two iron breast-platss rude

REGARDLESS of whom the Minnea- polls Convention nominates, 1t IS now extremely probable that clause favor Ing silver coinage will be ID the resolu- tions. The indications are that it will be in line with the general theory of protection to American productions and call for the coinage of American silver with duty upon the foreign supply. A sentiment in this direction was to be seen in several of the Republican State platforms, and the good work of the ad- ministration towards an international agreement that has stopped the fall of silver and given 1t start on its return has done much to strengthen opinion favorable to coinage by the United States of our own siIver.-VIrglnia City Enterprise.

Bad Temper of Divers-

An Australian pearl-diver recounts his experiences in the April Century.
 He says that one of the strange effects of diving is the invariable bad temper felt while working at the bottom of the sea; and as this usually passes away as soon as the surface is reached it may be supposed to be due to the pressure of air inside the dress, affecting the lungs and through them the brain. A diver often becomes so angry at some imagin- ary wrong-doing on the part of those in the boat above that he gives the signal to be pulled up, with the inten- tiOn of knocking the heads of the en- tire erew'-only to forget what he came up for when the surface is reached.

THE House of Representative did a good thing yesterday in passing the bills for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. Very little opposition to either measure was de- veloped. Both bills will now go to the Senate, and it is to be hoped that that branch of Congress will pass them promptly and send them to the Presi- dent. MT. Harrison has already been instrumental in admitting six new States into the Union, and it would add to his laurels if Congress were to enable him to admit two more. Both Arizona and New Mexico are entitled to admls- sion, for each of them hes wealth and po- pulatlon enough to support State gov ernment. Some persons fear that some of the Republican Senators will oppose passage of these bills for the reason that 1t Is alleged that New MexIco and ArI- zona are Democratic. But the question of politics of the two prospective States should not control any member of that body. It would be easy to pro- vide ,bat they should not be admitted until after the approaching Presidential election, and in that event they would have no voice in the election of Pres ident before 1896. If 1t be admitted that a Territory has population and wealth enough to maintain a State government, the prime consideration in determining whether it should be admitted as a State is whether the people of the Ter rllory desire admission. The theory of our government is that the Territorial form is to be temporary only, and thatit should not be maintained after the territory reaches R condition when a state government can be main tained. Some people in the East object to the admission of new states on the score of their small population. But that this objection is unjust is shown by the fact that many of the now popu- lous states of the central part of the UnIon. The people of Arizona and New Mexico have a right to maintain state governments, for it is only under such government that the people are the governing power. A territory is a province, and it should not be continued B day longer than necessity demand Denver Republican.

One people-one flag. The mines of Arizona are of as vital impor- tance to her people as the spisdles and looms are to the people of the state of Massachusetts.

Honey bees from somewhere haunt the flowers and blossoming trees of New York, especially the horse chestnutS. The blossoms of this tree have pc culiar fascination for bees of all sorts, and in regions where bees are plentiful there is noise as of a swarm about each horse chestnut. It is an old tradi- ton that the horse chestnut blossom contains an intOxicant which makes the honey seekers drunk and causes them to drop senseless to the ground, where they become the prey of ants
