"The Associated Press sends out a synopsis Of Gov. Hughes report. ln lit the governor is made to say
 That this year her gold productions twill exceed ten-fold hersilyer output, ''and hence she could be trusted to give her vote for gold against sil- "ver.-
 "The Prospector does not believe "Gov. Hughes said any such thing in ''his report The Associated Press lis gold bug concern that twists a meaning to suit it's stockholders out '.of every utterance of every public man. " Tombstone Prospector.
 'sThe Prospector is right in assum- ling that the extract is slightly mis- Heading. The point of Gov. Hughes statement on the subject is that the fact of the territory being greater ''silyer than gold-producing territory should silence the arguments of the ''eastern members of the national leg .'islature against the admission of ''the territory to the Union on the ground of her attitude on financial questions. r- Tucson Star.
 If there is any difference in the meaning of what Governor Hughes wrote in his report and the meaning ascribed to it by the Associated Press TIE OASIS fails to see it. The gover- nor's utterance was plain intima- tion to the gold bugs that Arizona's attitude on the silver question would hereafter be different than hereto fore, on account of the great develop ment of gold production within her limits. aud the Star nor Prospector can make nothing else out of it.

It is stated that in his recent Ofil- cial report to the secretary of the in- terlor. Governor Hughes iHtimates that as Arizona is more of a gold pro ducing region than it is of silver, her people will hereafter be identified with the single gold standard people, rather than free coinage. By what authority Governor Hughes speaks that way for the people of Arizona IS problematical. But he and President Cleveland will find that the position of Arizona on this great issue Is not dictated by her relative production or gold ard silver. It is a matter or principle with the people of Arizona and they are for the free coinage Of silver because it is the correct business and financial policy. Even owners or gold mines who would be benef1tted by single gold standard are for free coinage of silver on these grounds.

President Cleveland has taken oc- casion to say that he lis not mono metallist, but is in favor of utillza- tion of silver so far as it can possibly he done with safety to sound curren- cv.u That is mono-metallism pure and simple. The assumption thaI gold. or paper redeemable only Tn goid is the only sound currency is nothing but mono-metallism. It relegates sii- yer to the condition of token money for change, and in no way relieves the producing classes from the yoke the bankers have placed on their necks-

The advances of arbitrary power mon the rights and liberties Of the people are always insidious, and at first unnoticed. Never are they made by one man. The first offender un- checked but paves the way for the bolder and more determined despot. But never in the history of republics has a single chief magistrate gone so far on the road to despotism as has Grover Cleveland.

THE IRRIGABLE DOMAIN.

Readers of TIE OASIS will peruse with no little interest the able article from the pen of Lieutenant R. B. Bryan, U. $. A., entitled Uncle Sam's New Domain appearing upon the first page of this issue.
 In long and varied service in the arid region of America, the accom- plished writer has enjoyed wonderful facilities for observation, of which he has taken the utmost advantage; and in the clear and careful presentation he makes of facts within his knowl- edge and conclusions he has reached, the gentleman has done an immeas- ureable and valuable service tothe en- tire arid region.
 Thearticlein question is well wor- thy of publication in every journal in the country. It clearly presents to the land-hungry who are disappointed by the insufiiciency of Oklahoma and the Cherokee Strip, and are alarmed by the absorption of the public do- main, that there remains open to set clement d greater and more valuable domain in the irrigation empire of America. where the conditions are far more favorable to success and prosper ity than in any other portion of the great area the United States has giv- en to civilization.
 Few men, and none in civil life, have enjoyed the opportunities to study this matter that have fallen to Lieu- tenant Bryan, and this very fact win give his conclusions superior weight with all thoughtful people who ob- serve the best interests Of the cOun- try. The paper should be in the hands Of every true and patriotic Am erican, and should receive the atten- tion of all desirous of homes.
 In dismissing the subject it may not be amiss to say that the article by Lieutenant Bryan is directly in line with the speciality work of THE OASIS. This journal was established to make known to the world the vast possibili- ties of America's irrigation empire. particularly that part of it in South ern Arizona, and immediately tribu- tary to Arizola. Here is the center of the two great valleys indicated by the gentleman where homes may be found, and properties secured that will establish their owners in ease and comfort, while others in less fortu- nate climes ind it hard to live upon many more acres.
 As the commercial center of this promising region which has already crossed the threshold of development. Arizola is destined to become one of the most important points in Arizona: and the day is not far distant when the entire Casa Grande valley will be under cultivation, and Arizola, its metropolis, city numbering it's pop ulation by tens Of thousands.

Tho Washington Post, which is an in
dependent newspaper with republican
leanings, echoes the sentiment Of q vast
majority Of the American people when
it says: "However much the people Of
this country may differ as to the wis
dom Of the Wilson bill there can be no
doubt that there ia a unanimity Of
feeling in the business world that there
shall be no unnecessary delay merely in
q partisan sense or for merely political
reasonss The democratic majority in
both branches Of congress and the
democratic executive will be held re-
sponsible for their work. Let there be
a full hearing on both sides, but let it
be prompt and reasonable as to time
and then let the vote come. This the
country Is entitled to-"
This is sound advice and it ought to
be needed by democrats and republicans
alike. We regret to see that the repub-
lican leaders in the senate are appar-
emily preparing for an ugly and pro-
tracted struggle against the passage of
the Wilson bill in any shape. This is a
grave party mistake. The country in
two congressional elections has voted
that the tariff must come down. That
policy ought to be accepted by every
representative in congress. The right
to criticize the Wilson bill or t. amend
it Is not questioned 1t is not claimed
that it Is a perfect measure and mem
bers Of both parties have the right to
seek to improve it. But that is very
different from threatening %antagon-
ism to the entire measure on the
part Of q filibustering minority.
There will be some democratic votes
against the removal of the duty on lead
and lumber end against the wool and
wooden schedules of the Wilson bill. A
man maybe a good democrat and not
favor the changes proposed by Mr.. Will
son in respect to any of these items.
In Its general trend, however, the
Wilson bill must necessarily be fol-
lowed il any scheme of tariff reform is to
be adopted. There can be no question
that business throughout the country
is awaiting action on the tariff. Uncer-
tainty is the worst feature OF the situa-
ton. Let congress get to work without
delay and let the republican obstruction
lists, who threaten to prevent a vote,
consider carefully before they appear in
the role Of public enemies.

THE Omaha Bee is one Of tho news
papers outside OF the arid belt that ap-
preciates the advantage Of farming by
irrigation over the old methods. IL
says: "The universally prosperous
farming communities ara those under
an irrigating canal. Soil In the arid re-
glon is exceptionally rich and water
makes it markably productive. The
great increase IN the yield has been SO
often demonstrated that farmers prac-
ticing this system unhesitatingiy say
that they raise more on forty acres than
they ever saw grown on the best quar-
ter section in tho humid region. The
crop is absolutely assured and the quail
ity brought to perfection. The rule DO
comes--smaller acreage and closer cul-
tivation. This near more neiRhbors,
more social advantages, better schools
and churches and a happy, prosperous
and contented community, as all irri-
gated sections quickly become. This 10
why land sells in settled communities
at from S75 to 5000 an acre, and it is
worth it when drops are produced year
in and year out, which range in price
from $40 to 1925 an acre."
This is q truth that 10 going to dawn
on investors. The irrigated farm is the
surest thing in existence upon which to
loan money. The crops never fail and
consequently interest on loans will be
promptly paid. And not only the in
~terest, but the principal, will be earned
w and over again every few years, for
under irrigation there are no bad sea-
sons if crops are we'll diversified.

The subject of making a department
Of labor, with a cabinet officer at it's
head, is being revived at Washington.
Such action would swell the GUM total
of revenue to be raised each year from
the people, by increasing government
expenses. Further than this it's only
effect would be to stir up a demand for
a department of commerce, a depart
ment of capital, a department Of pom
sions, and departments for numberless
other purposes. OF making depart
ments there would be no end. Or serv-
ing useful purposes there would be no
beginning.

EACH particular hair on the head OF O
United States senator stands on end at
the bare suggestion of the possibility of
the president ignoring the quas; demand
OF the upper house for the correspond
ence and papers in the Hawaiian con-
troversy. Most Of them affect to be-
lieve that such n%on-action by the chief
executive is not even a possibility, but
down in their several minds there turks
the conviction that MI. Cleveland will
not communicate further with them
until he thinks the good of the public
service requires him to do so. And the
best method Of accepting a presidential
snub in the most dignified manner is
the problem now before the senate.

THE verdict of a New Orleans iury
awarding damages of $1,000, to be paid
by the city to the heirs of one Of the
Italians lynched there during the Malta
riot, is likely to be f%ar-reaching in it's

every community where a lynching has
occurred, and we are not sure but what
such proceedings would have salutary
effect. Lynching is lawlessness, and is

A POLL Of congress on the income tax
question shows that the great majority
Of the southern men favor the tax; that
the west is pretty evenly divided pro
and con; and that the east is over
whelmingly against it. That is to say,
IN the sections Of country where incomes
are biggest opposition to the tax is
strongest; in the region where incomes
are smallest the sentiment for taxation
is strongest. In the senate the oppo-
nents Of the income tax have a large
majority.
