A GHOSTS MARRIAGE,

young Baron de Saint Andre climbed up
to the front seat.
Here he found a good looking fellow
Of hiS own age, and straig ghtway the two
became great friends. At the end of an
hour they began exchanging condolences,
after the manner of youth.
The scion Of noble stock was on his
way to Paris, to buy an officers brevet,
50 as to serve his country, as his ances-
tors had done before him; the other, who
was the son of rich tradesman, was also
bound FOR Paris, for the purpose, how
ever, Of marrying an heiress, the daugh
ter Of an old friend Of his father.
1T is an even thing!" cried the young
baron laughingly. GA mere money mat
ter for each of us. The little god
Cupid has no more concern in your bus
mess than in mine!'
"There you mistake" returned the
other. II have never seen Sylvia, but
fell in love with her, once and forever,
the first time laid eyes upon her por
trait. Judge for yourself" ~
He opened tortoise shell case and
Saint Andre exclaimed admiringly:
"What an angel! Indeed, my dear
fellow, you are very fortunate to have
tnat charming, dainty creature picked

AS reach Paris, and as shall then be
presented to my betrothed, I want 70
iook as we'll as possible"
At the end of three days aud two
nights the heavy stage coach numbered
INTO the metropolis, and the two traveller
went to the nearest hotel and engaged
t"o rooms, intending to take little
rest. Saint-Andre had just thrown
himself upon the bed, when he hear
deep groans in the next room, and on
rushing in, found his late companion
rolling on the floor in asonies of pain
The servants were summoned, "a physician

A STRIKING example of the man. ner in which the Mckinley bill pro- tects the workingman, is being fur nishsd just now at Pittsburg. Car negie, Phipps & Co.,, who are en- gagged on a government contract, in the manufacture of steel-armor plates, one of the best protected in- dustries on the entire list, deter mined to make cut of 20 per cent in the wages of their employees. The men refused to accept the cut and were locked out. In order to get possession and introduce non- union men into their works, this much protected firm sent an armed force of Pinkerton's men to Pitts burg, which precipitated a conflict in which forty or fifty lost their lives and as many more were wound ed. If firm, which was allowed to fix their own tariff rate on their manufactures and are engaged on government work, which always has to pay the top price, are so reckless as to cut wages just at this junc- ture, shows too plainly that the Re publican leaders are relying on something more potent than the will of the people to continue Har- rison in office. It is saying, as plain as actions can speak, "the people be damned"

Statehood.

The one tenth opposition that voted against statehood, has since the constitutional election melted away until it is now safe to say that there is not in the territory of Arizo- na corporal guard who are not enthusiastic and pra yerful in the hope that the senate and Harrison will give us our own birthright in the unity of national constitution. Our emancipation will directly and indirectly appreciate the value of every mine and prospect hole in the territory. It will serve to enlighten and give confidence to the prospec- tor, as we'll as a fixed and perma- nent state government, judiciary familiar with the mining laws, and the condition to be met, capital now waiting our admission will flow into the mining industry revivify- ing into life the latent and hidden sources of wealth. If capital is coy and conservative under our present conditions it is not so without req son, when we witness, as in New Mexico, learned, imported judge from the states, deciding that in order to hold a mining claim of 1 1,500x6O0 under the statute law it must be fenced with a statutory fence, such as the New Mexico law presbribed as statutory fence.
 Investors of money thoroughly understand that until we have state government their money may be jeopardized by the decisions of nnfedged scions of Blackstone who by presidential appointment have been placed in positions to pass up on his vested rights, as has been unfortunately the case within our knowledge.
 With statehood we would have the chance to elect our own judges; we would not only get men who knew what a mine was, but they would be responsible to the people who elected them, and not to the president, who being thousand miles away can not know the con- ditions under which we labor. Statehood means a great boom to the mining interest Arizona Min ing Report.

Something Wrong.

There is something wrong some where in the administration of the U. s. District Court for this district and 1t must be plain to tho casual outsider. The trival nature of many of the cases is painfully evident. During it's session at Phenix last week about thirty indictments were to be disposed of. Some few of the cases were continued. Those which were tried were mostly for selling liquor to Indians, cutting wood on reservations and violations of the Edmunds act. Most of the indict- ments were found by the last Grand Jury, but some of the accussd par ties had been under indictment. two years, and one had been lying in jail nearly year awaiting trial.
 The evidence in most of the cases was so slim that the juries had nothing to do but bring in verdicts of not guilty and in several cases were so instructed by the court. In several instances interesting points were brought out and decided. In an alleged adultery case the court instructed that the burden of proof was on theprosecution and not onthe defense. In another case where the defendant was charged with selling liquor without a license, the court instructed the Jury that other testi- mony was necessary for conviction besides the admissions of the ac- cused. The jury gave verdict of not guilty.
 The same verdict was returned in all the cases where people were charged with cutting timber on h. dian reservations. The jurors evil dently believed that cutting a few mesquite poles was not much of a crime any way, and in addition not enough testimony was offered to convict.
 It is openly charged that cases are worked Up" simply for fees, and the next Grand Jury would do good thing to investigate some of the officers of the court. It would do no harm probably.-Yuma Times.

lead them to victory, and without any reflection upon any others of the noble and great men who adorn the Democratic party, the people of the United States as one man placed the seal of leadership on Cleveland's crest and hailed him as their chief.
 Of the result We have no fears. Every advantage which the Democ- racy has gained in the West will be held intact. Senator Hill will not fail the Democracy, and we have complete confidence in being able to carry New York. Iowa and h. diana are as sure as the nomina- tions of their own chosen sons could have made them, and we repeat we have no fears of the result. In all sense and reason the Democratic position is solid. In the personal popularity of it's standard. bearers 1t is impossible to make 1t stronger. Eighteen hundred and ninety-two is a Democratic year, a year of Democratic harmony. Nothing can defeat the Democracy when its star is so bright.

For some time past cattle have been missed from the herds belong ing to the Cibola Cattle com pany, Bliss & Dennis and the ranchmen in Ramah Valley, but no clue could be obtained as to what had become of them for some time, until this last week sufficient evidence was obtained, it was thought, to justify the arrest of a man by the name of Thos. McNeal for cattle stealing. McNeal was arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Green and Strachan, and brought to Gal lup. Last Wednesday McNeal had a ahearing before Judge Maxwell and was discharged for lack of sufficient evidence to hold him.-Gallup Cleaner,

The "BuSted" Bank.

As there are several people now residing in Albuquerque who had money in the "busted" First Ma tionaI banks of Deming and Silver City and are anxious to learn what efforts the stockholders are making for meeting their obligations the fol- lowing notice is taken from the last issue of the Silver City Senti- mel:
 A meeting of depositors in the First National banks of Deming and Silver City was held at the Fremont House last Wednesday evening. Many of the depositors are getting anxious about their money and think that five months is a long enough time in which to do something toward paying off the claims. It was stated at the meet ing that the receiver had recom- mended that an assessment be levied on the stockholders, but it appears that the comptroller of the currency has taken no action in the matter. Col. Lockhart stated that Mir. Dane and other stockholders in the banks had been disposing of their property, and that some steps ought to be taken to secure action on the part of the comptroller of the currency. A committee was appointed to attend to the matter, and, after talking the situation over thoroughly, the meeting adjourned.

TEE New Orleans Plcayune puts the situation in it's true light, as follows: If there is, as we believe there is, left in the Democratic par ty anything of the ancient courage, lofty spirit and daring enterprise which formerly animated the Dem ocratic leaders and masses in the height of the party's glory and suc- cess, let it be kindled into a flame of the highest enthusiasm at the present prospect.
 The Democrats have just formed their line of battle upon a basis of principles that embrace every re- quisite of enlightened human liber- ty, consolidated and fortified by the noblest institutions and the wisest latitude of individual freedom. Home rule, which means the rights of the state and individual liber- ty protected against centralizing ag- gressions, IS the foundation of the structure, while the lowest possi- ble taxation consistent with the needs of the government and the tax collected from sources and in a manner that will the least oppress the great masses of the American people make up the superstructure of the Democratic fortress. Econ omy in expenditures and the utili- zation of our abundant silver to pay the nations debts constitute it's grand capstone.
 It is upon such structure of free institutions and low taxation that the Democratic forces are called to rally while their standard bearers are men who command the admira- ton and love ofinnumerable friends as we'll as the respect of enemies. Meyer, perhaps, in the history of the country have the Democrats in the choice of their leaders more completely succeeded in finding man in whom were united at once all the qualities of command and leadership and those of popularity. It is seldom that a man so entirely actuated by principle, so immova- bly fixed in his sense of right and so bold and persevering in the per formance of every task which duty has marked out for him has been able to secure so ready a response and so profound regard in the popular heart of his fellow-citizens. But if there be no others Grover Cleveland IS the one who has real ized that response and found that favor. He is the one man whom the people demanded despite the machinations of rivals and the mis- givings of political managers, No opposition was able for a moment to stay the flood of popular regard for him, and no scheme that sought to set him aside received a moments consideration. The people had per feet confidence in his worth and ability. No man could do better for them as President than he lad done. No man seemed so able to

Cold Flooded.

San Marcial, July GA sensa- tional killing occurred here Mon day morning, in which Bob McFar- land, alias Wilson, figured as the killer, while a Mexican cowboy by the name of Barros, was the victim.
 The crime was committed with out provocation. Barros, who is employed as a cowboy on the ranch of Henri Tuissiant, 27 miles south of San Marcial. arrived in town early Monday morning to take part in rope-throwing contest, which was one of the 4th of July attrac- tions. Mcfarland, an all-round tough, had filled up on bad whisky, and wanting to fight some one, fol- lowed Barros, who was very home ly and black Mexican, and kept taunting him. Barros finally turn ed on Mcfarland and told him to quit following him, when McFar- land whipped out a six-shooter and emptied four shots in quick success sion into the abdomen and breast of Barros, who fell, expiring imme- diately.
 Mcfarland was arrested, and the Mexican element immediately as- sembled and organized to lynch Mcfarland, but the officers kept their prisoner hid until the north bound train in the afternoon arrived when they quietly slipped him to the train, none too soon, for the now infuriated Mexicans, joined by some Americans, quickly followed toward the depot, and one Mexican, mounted, rode into the immense throng with lasso ready and tried to swing the moose over McFarland's head. but the prisoner was too quick, The lassoist then handed the moose to a Mexican, retaining one end of the lariat fastened to the pommel of his saddle. Pushing his way through the now excited crowd the ally of the rodero was in the act of dropping the moose over the prison er's head when pistol placed aI his head caused him to drop the rope. Dr. Cruikshank, the Santa Fe com pany's physician, who is influential among the Mexican element, made an address in the Spanish language and while they were listening the train pulled out as fast as steam could carry it, and Mcfarland was an hour later lodged in the Socorro jail to await the action of Ethe dis trict court, as he waived examina- ton.
 That the crime was cold blood ed murder all claim, and that Me- Farland will hang is as sure as he is brought to trial.
 Mcfarland is an all round tough, and has served at least one term in the California penitentiary. Two years ago he together with several train robbers broke jail at Visalia, California, and came to San Marcial from whence he was returned, last August to appear as a witness against the train robbers. His evidence convicting he was turned loose. When he left he swore vengeance against a constable here, who he says "gave him away" and to carry out this threat he got drunk yester- day having arrived but three weeks Democrat.

IN the UnitedStates there are ght large factories for making fireworks, beside about dozen smaller ones. Tn all these factories only about 1000 people are employed. One of the most important is located at Parkville, near Coney Island. There, in an isolated neighborhood, stand about thirty wooden sheds of the f1imsiest description. At some dis tance is a low building with aheavy oaken door. This is the powder magazine. The leases" for rockets, Roman candles and other fireworks are made in what are called the "wet-rolling sheds" This work is done by half dozen men, who do the rolling, by as many boys, who do the pasting of the sheets of damp paper. In the dry-rolling sheds, where the work is light and not at all dangerous. girls are em- ployed. The paper bombs are made in still another shed. Shells are filled by a few men, who work at a bench and pour the powder into small opening by means of fun hel. It is absolutely necessary to have everything spotlessly clean. The floors and benches are dusted every fifteen minutes, and not the smalles speck of powder is to be seen any place except in the tins provided for explosives.

AN exchange says that 1t IS more fun to see man read puff of him. self in a newspaper than to see fat man slip on banana peel. The narrow-minded man reads it seven or eight times and then goes around and steals (appropriates) what copies he can. The kind hearted man goes home and reads it to his wife, then pays up his dues to the paper. The successful business man who advertises regularly, and makes money at it, immediately starts to find the editor and speaks words of acknowledgement, and then two men leave the sanctum and walk silently and thoughtfully down the street together, and the business man takes sugar in his and they both eat a clove or two and all life is sweeter, and peace settles down on their hearts for the mo- ment. Such is the experience of seeds as it falls upon different soil.
