For THE RECORD.

The developments of the past week in
the pension line furnish striking proof
that the Democratic hue and cry against
the pensioner is that every old veteran
shall be absolutely dependent on pension
for his bread and shelter.

COMMANDMENTS Chief Weissart told o
Grand Army campfire at Canton, Ohio,
last week, that there is not a man on the
pension rolls to-day who wasn't placed
there honestly and just as the pension
laws required him TO be, yet Hoke Smiths
guillotine works away, regardless OF the
common fairness which allows even GRIM
inals presumption of innocence till they
are found guilty. The saviors Of their
country are treated worse than murder
ers. 1t is presumed by the administra-
ton that they are guilty Of fraud, and
they are convicted and sentenced to a loss
OF their incomes without trial, until they
collect evidence and insist on another
hearing. MaLy of them are too old, too
poor, and now no doubt too much dis
heartened by the ingratitude OF the men
vino claim TO represent their country, ev-
er to reopen their cases. The maltreat-
mcnt of these old soldiers, who deserve
the tenderest care that grateful nation
can provide, is the blacklist stain upon
the record of the Cleveland administra-
ton.

EeVee Extension.

Mayor Frank received a letter
from A. N. Towne, General Manager
of the Southern Pacific Company,
Wednesday, stating that the
railroad company was not only
willing but pleased to donate the
right-of-way for the extension of
the new levee across it's lands to
the railroad grade, and that he
would have the deeds executed to
Lieut.. Col. w. H. H. Benyaurd, U
S. Engineer. The extension will
run from the present terminus of
the levee, along the rear of the
Figueroa place, through Willow
street to the highest point on the
railroad grade, and will be con-
structed with the surplus left after
the present levee is finished. This
will be of great benefit to Yuma,
and render the town perfectly safe
from any flood that may ever find
it's way down the Colorado.
Too much credit cannot be given
the railroad company for it's gener-
Gus action in this matter, nor to
Col. Benyaurd and Mayor Frank
for there interest in, and the
prompt manner in which they
brought, about this important
work

Sunday rornino about a. o'c1ock

Sunday morning bout 4 o'clock
when Albert Townsend and Charlie
DeCorse arose to attend to their ex-
press and ice business, they found
two barrels containing ashes stand
ing against the Yuma Restaurant,
on fire. The flames bursted out of
the barrels just after they had
opened the door Of the express
Office and reached up the side of
the restaurant, which adjoins
Louis Iaeger's saloon. The boys
seized some buckets containing
water and dashed it into the flames
which were subdued until they
could get more water from the
hydrant near by. They put out
the fire but not until one barrel
had been burned through on one
side. The wind was blowing al
most gale. Had the boys been
Is or 20 minutes later, all the
on the west side of Main
street, between First and Second
streets, would have been in ashes,
and probably with such awind as
was blowing Gandolfo & San
yuinettIs new store would have
been burned.

ARIZONA SCHOOLS.
Il GFEE IY.abIe laws for EISIuca~
ton OF She Children.

Bribery and kindred scandals are
unknown in Arizona and the laws are
honestly passed and justly administer
ed, AS yet the power of corpora tons
In legislative matters is unknown, and
the laws are intelligent, humane and
suited to the wants of the people. In
education, too, Arizona is abreast of
the age. II has splendid system of
public schools, and at school cleo
tions all taxpayers and all parents or
guardians of children of school age are
entitled to vote without distinction of
sex.
Every child in the Territory can re-
ceive free education, and if too poor
to obtain textbooks the school dis
trict must furnish them free of cost.
In these schools no religious tests of
any kind are permitted either as to
teacher or pupil, and sectarian instruc-
tion is absolutely forbidden. Teach
ers are paid from 800 to $l25 per
month
The counties levy a school tax of IS
cents upon each 500 of assessed prop
erty, and adds to the amount thus
raised the money derived from certain
licenses, fines and penalties, while each
school district, which is two miles in
extent and includes at least ten child
rem, Is entitled to an annual allowance
of $500. And this system of schools
is sustained entirely by the people of
the Territory, with no assistance from
the national Government excepting
small annual payment for the benefit
of the university at Tucson. Arizona
has also a fine asylum for the insane
and penitentiary, both built and
maintained by territorial funds.-I

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative: efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs
and being well informed, you will nof
accept any substitute if offered.

There are many ways of running
town, either towards an era OF
prosperity or several feet in the
ground. An exchange points out
that the best way to run town is
to run it with a vim. It adds:
those who differ on that question
should sell out and leave, Men who
are always slow tosuppCrt hem in
stitutions do little toward building
town. Either run town for all
it is worth or quit the whole hing,
Slide out and let MATINEE take its
course. If you want business 10
came to your town, wo X. -5r 1t and
encourage others who are so doing.
Bury all jealousy and spite-work
together for common prosperity and
mutual benefit. Wake up, rub
your eyes, borrow no troubles, but
make your town the best in the
land-a progressive and prosperous
one. That is the way to make a
live town.-Gila Bend Arizonian.
