wealth and burdensome demand from

This is the year Of our Lord, eighteen
hundred and ninety-three, and such a
train Of thought would be ridiculous, If,
unhsppily, circumstances did not call for

the Wilmington Board Of Trade awoke
from it's summer nsp and held the first
meeting since June, elected officers for
the coming year, and passed resolution

Civilization would be failure II the
contention Of the protectionist were
true. It is not true that the industries
are burden upon the commonwealth

There were hunters, laborers, artisans

PLUCK is great aid to success, but
man should not pluck his friends

The silver men are reported by Wash
ington correspondents to be hopeful.
They declare that ''the sentiment of the
country is in favor Of free coinage
Only few years ago there was a SINH
lar sentiment, as it was said, among the
same class Of people for more green
backs" They said then, as they say
now, that the fewer dollars (greenbacks
then, silver now) the less the price Of
wheat. But, when Grant put his veto
upon the SAC, 900, 900 greenback initiation
bill, and made few sensible and peril
nent criticisms upon the sentiment which
produced the bill, the craze died out.
That is precisely what will happen If
Cleveland gets chance at the craze Of
the silverites for imitation.

PATENTS.
Notice to Inventors

here was never time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and Improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and work shop, the household,
on the farm, and in official life, require
continual accessions to the appurtenances
and implements of each in order to save
labor, time and expense. The political
change in the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who, being on the
alert. and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the af
fairs of government to deter him from
quickly conceiving the remedy to over
come existing discrepancies. Too great
care can not be exercised in choosing a
competent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application for
patent Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment of incomps.
tent counsel, and especially is this ad-
vice applicable to those who adopt the
''No patent, no pay" system. Inventor
who entrust their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk. as
the breadth and strength Of the patent
is never considered in view of a quick
endeavor to get an allowance and obtain
the fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

TuCSOn'S Land Grant.

It is quite certain that Tucson IS the owner of a large Pueblo land grant comprising from 50,000to 75,- 900 acres of the most valuable land contiguous to the city. This land grant confirmed to Tucson by the land court is equal to donation of just that much land, the value of which is variously estimated at from $25O,OOO to $5OO,OOO-Quite hand some windfall to Tucson. With such a fund in our treasury Tucson could build water works, sanita- riums ,open public baths and public parks, make cement streets and own it's electric lights, street railroad and become the Queen city of the west. The institution of proceedings in the land court cannot injure anyone as all who hold titles by purchase or settlement will be protected un- der the law creating the land court. No shadow can be cast on titles as the city has already given it's title to all those holding property but those who have paid for city lots which they possessed prior to the time the government patent was is- sued will have the same refunded to them, and the value of city proper ty will be enhanced more than one thousand per cent, as the citizens and property holders will hold an interest in the vast tract of land received.
 Here is Tucson's opportunity. Let us all unite to receive from Un- cle Sam the land grant to which Tucson is entitled, and there will be no more city tax and there will be a grand system of improvements ln- augurated and Tucson will be the richest city for it's size on the conti- nent -Star

The supply of all classes of stock has been liberal during the past week. The proportion of desirable beef has been smaller than it .was'a week ago. The scarcity of better class of beef cattle has tended to strengthen the market on that par ticular class, for common and sec- ond quality may be quoted shade weaker.

The HuaChuca Assassination.

Sheriff Scott has brought in from Huachuca the supposed murderer of the rancher Joseph Parke, Sev- erians Martinez. Parties in the neighborhood of the shooting are divided on the question of Mar tinez' guilt.
 The murder was really an assas- sination. Parke was sitting com fortably smoking and chatting when he was shot twice. The first shot entered the body of Capt. Parke at the left of his right kneepan, passed up through the entire length of his body and came out at the back ol his left shoulder. The other bullet entered the outside of his right shoulder and came out of the same opening as the first.
 He died in about an hour in great suffering. Frequently he exclaim' ed: "Oh, why is this? 1 have no enemies"
 Martinez was identified by Mrs. Parke by his eyes, his face being untitled at the time of the shooting The sheriff found in his possession a thirty-eight calibre five-shooter.
 The delay of the return of the sheriff was to await the coroner's inquest. which charged Martinez with the shooting and his examin' ation before Justice Harrison of La Noria, where he was held for the grand jury.
 Martinez on his part states that he is perfectly innocent and at the time of the shooting was sick in his bed several miles from the scene ot the murder. His brother testified that on Wednesday night he passed by Martinez place and that he was at home sick.-Tucson Star.
