SUPERINTENDENT DAGGETT, of the united States mint in this city, says the oan Francisco Bulletin, has received orders to resume the coinage of 412115 gram dollars. The superintendents of the mints at New Orleans and Phil adelpla have received similar orders from Washington. The coinage of dollars has been light for some tune, as there was no particular need for them. It is known that the revenue of the govern ment has been failing off of late, and it is feared that unless something is done to bring the money there will be large deficit at the end of the fiscal year.
 The government has a great amount of silver bullion in It's vaults. purchased at low figures. It is said the difference between the cost of thls bullion and it's coining value is about S53,OOO.OOO This represents profit to the government. It is proposed to put this profit into dol lars by coining up enough of the bull lion on hand to repre sent that sum. This will put new money ir to the treasury and eventually into circulation, and thus for time tend to prevent the contraction to result from a cessation of silver purchases.

THE killing of quail in Arizona will be restricted by prohibiting their shlp- ment from the territory, thereby make ing wholesale slaughter unprofitable to the visiting sportsmen who have annual ly laid up snug sums both by trapping and wing shooting during the fall and winter season. Frequently those inter ested Tn their preservation have endeav. ored t) stop these ravRges by out iders but without avail, but the seventeenth legislature passed law last winter which enforced will have a decided tendency to protect not only tue quail but the game and fish or Arizona. Major Ed. Schwartz of Phoenix is fish and game commissioner and the Republican says he will prosecute all violations of the game law.-Nogales Herald.
 Every lover of a gun or game will endorse the foregoing. Pot hunters for outside markets nearly stripped the territory of quail year ago and but for the intervention of the law would have completed their nefarious work during the present winter. A strict enforce ment of the law is particularly desirable

EASILY DESTROYED.

In communication to the Graham
 County Bulletin Charles M. Shannon
 asserts that Gen. John R. Baylor was
 the first governor of Arizona, appoint ed by Jefferson Davis, president of the southern Confederacy.
 MT. ShanRon's statement IS easily disproved, inasmuch as history reports the election of pr. l.. s. Owens, of MesIlla, as governor of Arizona, by a constitutional convention held at Tue son, April ?, to 5, 1860. "Three judicial districts were created, the judges to be appointed by the gov ernor, as were also an attorpey-gen- eral, Acknowledgements, and other officials; legislature of nine sen- ators and eighteen representatives was to be elected and convened at the governors order; provision was made for organizing the militia; an election of county officers was called for May; the general laws and codes of New Mexico were adopted; the records of the convention, schedule, constitu- tion and the governors inaugural ad- dress were printed at Tucson in what was, so far as we know, the first book ever published in Arizona" James A Lucas was president of the convention, and G. H. Oury aud T. NJ. Turner secretaries. The governors appoint ments were: Lieutenant governor, Ig- nEcio Orantis; secretary ot state, Jas. A. Lucas; controller, J. H. Wells; treasurer, M. Aldrich; marshal, Sam G. Bean; district judges, G. H. Oury (chief justice), s. H. Gozzens and Edward McGowan, etc.-Silver Belt.

IN 1874 or there8bou:s the legislature of California, under the influence of the Carriage combine, passed law under which a newspaper could be indicted and prosecuted for real or fancied grievances in every county in the state in which the paper circulated. Imme- diately upon the passage and approval of the bill suits were instituted by Page against the San Francisco Chroni- cle, for whose benefit the bill had been created, in Plumss, Lassens and other counties far distant from the place of publication. This bill was copied into the Arizona code where it rusted for many years, but is now enjoying its maiden blush in a Pima county court. The law is an unjust one and should be repealed. We do not claim immunity for newspapers. If they violate the law they should be punished like any other wrong doer, but like the other wrong doer, they should be indicted, prose cuted and punished in the county in which the offence is committed. This Is nothing more than fair all-round justice. It brings the injured and the :njuring together on one common ground. No man who loves equality before the law can ask for more. 1t needs no prophet to foresee the early elimination of the present law from the statute books of the territory.

MRS. GOV. HUGHES SAW HIM.
And Colonel T. Hampton Hoge
 Consul to Annoy. Did Not Sail.

Colonel J. Hampton Hoge of Roanoke, Va, an ex-oficer of the confederate army and an active politician, was re- gently appointed United States consul to Annoy, China. He left home only a few days ago to journey to his post of duty in the orient, and has already got up to his eyes in trouble.
 Unfortunately for Hoge according to the San Francisco Examiner, Mrs. Hughes, a prohibitionist and tEe wife of Governor Hughes, of Arizona, was on board the train. The passengers bear testimony to the fact that while passing through Arizona Colonel Hoge had touch of delirium tremens, and at the same time Mrs. Hughes, who was in the car, was so scandabzed at learning of the condition of the accredited rep resentative of the republic that ,she almost had fit.
 As soon as she could communicate with her husband she did SO, and as a consequence, it is said, the governor transmitted to President Cleveland an exhaustive protest against permitting Colonel Hoge to retain his foreign mission.
 It is unofficially announced that the colonel has been recalled on the strength of Governor Hughes con- plaint.

A DEMOCRAT EXPLAINS.
The Great Republican Victory, MT Cleveland and His Pledges.
 1OOO

TCCSoN, Nov. 5, 1855.
 EDITOR CITIzEN:-The republicans at Tuesdays election were victorious in almost every state, and very justly so. The people trusted the democrats at the last November's election.
 Mir. Cleveland was elected president by an overwhelming majority upon a platform which was supposed to an nounce the policy which would be pur- sued by the democratic administration. The chief blanks in that platform were tariff reform, and equal coinage of gold and silver. The people declared for both, and had a right to expect the democratic party to i've up to its principles.
 They have been disappointed; MT. Cleveland and bis administration have not only failed to keep the promises made to the people, but have openly violated their most solemn pledges to the people, and country.
 Instead of favoripg the coinage of silver, and tariff reform, MT. Cleveland called congress together for the avowed purpose of striking a death blow at silver as a circulating medium.
 He has entirely ignored the tariff question, but has forced congress 10 do his bidding-the denomination of sil- Yer.
 He has coerced congress to carry out his will. But the people are still free to express the:r will at the ballot box and they have made that will known in a manner that may at least teach MT. Cleveland that although he may for the time being be the president, he is not yet the absolute dictator of a free American people. The people are still supreme.

THE Voorhees, bill was signed by Mir. Cleveland within an hour after 1t passed the house, falsifyIng the democratic prediction made on the floor of the senate few days ago, that the president would, because of his dislike of the declaration in favor of tho usa of silver as money contained in the bill, not sign it, but would allow it to become law without his signature. MT. Cleve- lands dislike of silver is we'll known, but there are few who believed that he would be impolitic enough to further advertise that dislike by declining to sign the bill, course that would have further aggravated the silver men, without benefiting anybody.

THE administration has developed a bad case of crank scare since the assassination of Mayor Harrison, of Chicago. Ever since MT. Cleveland was inaugurated his every move outside of hls private apartments has. been watched by private detectives, and last week the force of detectives was doubled. Some how the idea has got out that MT. Cleveland has a morbid fear of assassina- tion at the hands of some crank and we do not blame him. Considering the unsettled condition of the country we are inclined to believe such caution necessary. There is no sentiment about men of unbalanced minds "with a mission" and the country cannot afford' to take chances with them. People may laugh at the reported fear of the president, but an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure.

AN OFF YEAR.

It is too soon yet to figure up repub. lican gains and it will be a week yet before the exact msioTities are definitely known, but enough is now known to carry eXultatIon to the hearts of re- publican and consternation to the dem- ocrats. This is an "off year" and at such times states that can be relied upon to give big republican majority found within the lines of the democracy. In other words state elections between pres dential elections are generally dem- ocratic victories, hence these years are considered off years to the republicans. This year also appears to be an off year, but an off year to the democrats. On previous off years under republican rule the country was prosperous and the people could afford to deal on a margin, but this off year found the democracy on horseback and in power, the trade of the country dead, the mills silent, men out of employment and children in need of bread. The good times of the past were compared with the bad times of the present and in thunder tones the people have spoken. From every state in which an election was held comes the news of republican victories and democratic defeat. Me- Kinley, the great protection leader, heads the column with 5000 majority, the greatest majority given to any man in that state since the war. Great ls is Mckinley, great is his majority and great are the people who gave it to him.

ANOTHER diplomatic position, purchas- ed by democratic campaign contibu- tion last year, was last week partially delivered by the nomination of another American who spends more than three fourths of his time in Europe. The man is James Roosevelt, the place, secretary of the United States embassy to Great Britain, and the price sl0,0OO. The nomination has not been con- firmed, but as the nominee is brother in-law of s50,OOO Van Alen, who slipped through so easily the other day, there is no reason for doubting that it will be in due time. The democratic idea of making things cheap apparently does not include places in the diplomatic service. Perhaps if MT. Hornblower could have shown a receipt for big campaign contribution his nomination to the supreme court whould not have been 'hung up" so long.
