THE TARIFF TINKERS.:

The committee of ways and means
made record for itself during its first
weeks session. 1t has confirmed the Of
fetal statement of Ben Folsom, that the
party now in power is ''the party of
free-trade. Here is the record:
First days session, first hearing: To
the subjects Of Her Majesty Queen Vic
toria, who travelled from Bermuda to Pc
tition that their foreign-grown onions
and potatoes might be admitted free of
duty to compete in our markets on an
equality with similar products grown by
American farmers.
Second: The presence of paid at
torney, with tine approval of Mr.. Car
lisle, our free-trade secretary of the
treasury, to attempt to destroy the argu-
ment of the American manufacturers of
oilcloths, and to protect the interests of
the foreign manufacturers and the i'm
porters Of these foreign goods.
Third: An invitation from the COM
mittee to the owner of large factories in
Austria that are engaged in the manu-
facture Of textile fabrics ito give the
committee the benefit of his experience"
OF course this gentleman's experience is
that the Mckinley tariff is no good for
the Austrian manufacturer. 1t must be
quite gratifying for the committee to
have this so ably affirmed, and to find
one who is in such accord with "the
party of free-trade."
This Austrian manufacturer is ''the
first foreigner who has ever been invited
to Washington on such mission"
Let us pray that he will also be the
last. This invitation was an impertinence
% the American people, as unpatriotic
as it was obtrusive.

A MONEY OF THE WORLD.

John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, in a speech
in the United States senate, February
18th, 1878, said:
"The gold standard men are always
pratipg about the money of the world
Now there is no such thing as the
moLey of the world in the sense they
utter it. The money of one nation
ceases to be money when it passes be
yond the borders of that country into
another without special law legalizing
such coin in the other country. The
importing nation receives the coin of
any other nation as commodity simply.
The money stamp has nothing 20 do
with the commodity value of the coin,
which is estimated from it's weight,
fineness and marketable price, just as
wheat, cotton or wool would be esti-
mated. Gold and silver when none
tized and coined have the form and
function of money only within the nation
coming the metal. 1t is entirely local
concern within tat nation alone as to
how that metal shall be used as
measure of value in the market and for
the settlement of debts.
''Gold and silver, whether coined or
not, when exported to any other country
ceases to be money and becomes COM
modify to bs bought and sold, as any
other form of property. There can be
no such thing as the money of the
world No nation has power or au-
thority to coin such money and no
nation or government will ever attempt
to coin or utter such money as the
money of the world"
A simple truth plainly spoken.

WE KNOW NOT WHERE WE
GO NOR WHY"

They say that but hair divides the
false and&rue, but in the light of the re-
cent tragic ending Of Frank Oury it
would seem that margain less broad
than hair divides the realms of life
and death. There is 10 division upon
which man can struggle with the grim
reaper. Health and strength, and youth
are invisible as water in water, when we
ook upon death. The bonds of love and
fellowhood and friendship, unravel at
its touch, and tears and prayers and
suppliance are hidden in mans mortal
ity. "He riseth in the morning as
flower" saith the preacher, '';n the even
ing he is cut down and dried as withered
grass" Tomorrow he who broke bread
with US today is known no more. Death
turks in the vintage of life and nature is
red in tooth and claw. The veil is rent
and the first born and the last born en-
ter the gulf whose bottom we cannot
see and are sepulchered in undresm-
ing rest.
"For whether it be in NashIpur or
Babylon,
Or whether the cup in sweet or bitter
run,
The wine of life keeps oozing drop by
drop,
The leaves of life keep falling one by
one."
A week ago Frank Oury went from US,
the perso0ification of manliness. He
was loved by those who love, honored by
those who honor and respected by all
who knew his worth. Today he is again
with US but not of us, for "the wine of
life has fed and the mere lees remain
the vault to brag Of"
The roseate hue of business success
had fallen upon his pathway and he
stood upon the ladder of fortune and
about to mount, when the call came
from the Great Master and he fell in
a hand-to-hand conflict, fearful strug-
gle of an unarmed man against three,
armed with weapons of death. But he
died as he had lived, brave man. To
say more would be mockery. Tomorrow
the church bells will toll and then, ashes
to ashes, another victim of frontier law
lessness sleeps with the great majority
In the halls of Vahalla there are none
who met death more daringly. May he
rest in peace.

The Nogales Consuiship.

The Phoenix Republican says Hon.
G. w. G. Hunt, of Globe, member of
the last legislature, is after the appoint
ment as consul to Nogales, Mexico, red
eyed. His petitions are being vigorous
ly circulated in all the large towns. The
Republican further adds.
1.-The Office pays about $4,000 a year and
is now vacant. At the beginning of the
last administration Delos III. Smith, of
California, was appointed to the place
and held it until the close. a charge
of using Official envelopes for private
purposes was brought against him and
he voluntarily resigned. He was sue
cee6ed by his deputy Josiah E. Stone.
of massachusetts,, who made 1T part of
his duty to relieve his predecessor of
the charge made against him. His ap-
pointment by the way was among the
the last made by President Harrison.
He died about two months ago without
regularly appointedsdeputy."
The Republican is wrong in two
points. Smith was appointed from
Washington where he resides, ard the
salary is only $1,000 a year with fees
which amount to from g to 50 month.
There is an allowance of $500 year
year for vice-consDl, but Capt, K. D..
George who is temporarily in charge
says it is a useless expenditure as one
man can do the work and then not be
employed more than two hours each
day.-Nogales Herald.

Pierce Ford VIII Recover.

The shooting of Pierce Ford, formerly
in business here, has proven less alarm
ing than was apparent. To all lappear-
ances the wound was fatal, but the
course of the ball was different than
supposed, and he will recover. The
shooting it seems, was cowardly, Ford
being shot from behind. Extracts from
a letter to Joseph Ford, Mr.. Ford's
brother, say:
pierce is doing well and his doctor
thinks he will be walking around in
ano her week. He received three
wJuncs, from behind, when unseen by
by him. One was under his right arm.
cutting through above and below the
elbow, one on the right side Of his pelvis
bone, coming out little to the right of
the groin, the third to the left side of
the palvIs coming out near the left
groin.
"The shooting was done without
Ford's knowing who his wodld-be as
sassin was.
"O'Connor's preliminary is set for
tomorrow and will probably be put off
till Pierce is able to attend"

STEWART COMPROMISE.

Senator Stewart has introduced bill
which is said to be in the nature of a
compromise on the silver question. Ii
is intended to be tackled on to the repeal
bill as an amendment This proceeding
on the part of the great silver sgitator
would seem to indicate that he believes
the. repeal of the Sherman act, or that
portion of it which calls for the monthly
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver,
will be carried. His bill provides for a
convention of the United States, Mexico,
Central and South American states and
some West Indian islands to agree on a
new silver dollar, to contain not less
than 359.91 grains and not more than
383.13 grains Of pure silver.
The variation was presumably intro
duced so as to take in any ratio upon
which our neighbors are coming silver.
The Mexican dollar, for instance, is of
greater value intrlnsically than our
standard dollar The proposed Ameri-
can dollar is to be legal tender for all
commercial transactions between the
several states. The idea of compact of
this nature is not all new. 1t has already
been broached several times. 1t is
proposition to set up American bimetal-
lism as far as it can go against Eu-
ropean gold monometalism. IL the
nations of North and South America
were sufficiently powerful to control
tie commerce of the world the proposed
monetary alliance would solve the silver
problem.
But these nations do not occupy any
such commanding position. AS free
coinage OF silver is part of the program,
the outcome would be the addition of
the American commonwealth to the
silver nations of Asia. A partial in
agreement to the extent
stated would be an improvement on the
to undertake tie stipend
Ous job ourselves. The benefit to the
United States would be the privilege
Of paying in silver the balance of trade
always against us, in our dealings with
Central and South America. But one
portion of the program, and it appears
to be essential, is clearly impraatlcable.
The bill provides that the act; ON of
the delegates to the proposed Pan
American convention shall be binding
on the several states. 1t cannot be

SILVER IN MEXICO.
Not a Mine in Sonora Working-The
Depression There.

Sonora has hundreds, perhaps thous-
ands of silver properties, and not one of
them, so far as can be learned is at work.
Lieut.. Flipper, of Nogales, is in the
city, and brings the foregoing informa-
tion. He says that Sonora has lost eighty
per cent. of her cattle owing to last
years drowth and with the entire idle
ness OF her silver mines cannot be in a
prosperous condition.
Silver, he says, is the only money of
Mexico, practically speaking. Gold
there is hardly none, and the country
has no paper currency. With it's pres
ent depression the country cannot be
prosperous. Mexico is an importing
country, and the only money that will
buy importations is gold, which mostly
goes thus, or deprecated silver-at bull
ion value.
The present opportunity does not
have such a tendency to develop in
ternal enterprises as it would Fin some
countries. The Mexicans are not enter
prising enough to GO to manufacturing
and the like themselves, and foreigners
do not want to go there and make money
that is comparatively worthless else
where.
President Diaz has offered series of
big rewards, to the total amount OF
100000, for the opening and develop
ment of good gold fields. The value of
silver produced IN the land is greater
than gold, and gold isthe metal now
wanted.

THE killing of Frank Curry by Mexi-
can bandits, at Arivacs, night before last,
adds another victim to the long list OF
muders that within the past twenty-five
years have been perpetrsted on the bor-
der between the Mexican state of Sonora
and Arizona. How long these murders
are to continue can only be told as future
revolves itself into present. The almost
certain immunity frem punishment will
long. make the border a dangerous line.
The land of refuge for the cum OF all
villainy lies beyond the jurisdiction of
justice. This is largely due to the vast
area of sparsely settled country that di-
yides the law and order settlements cf
both nations. The assaslans of Frank
Oury when last heard from we're going
in the direction of Sonora. and it is
highly probable that they will escape
at the hands of the law for their mur-
derous crime.

The Inspection Law Enforcement

The Inspection Law Enforcement.
The cattle inspection law, from pres
ent indications, will be law, and 1t is
about being enforced. Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock Damian Valenzuela
comes up for sentence for violation of
the new law. The sentence fixed by the
law, which makes refusal to pay the in
spection fee a misdemeanor, is twenty
to fifty days. The defense took the
stand that the man had nothing to pay
with and that it was illegal to inprison
man for debt. The prosecution say
cattle have been brought to Tucson and
killed by irresponsible and dishonest
parties for years and that the law is
necessary for protection of the stock
interests. In the present instance it
was shown that Valenzuela called on
Aguirre to inspect a steer, which was
done. He then killed the animal, and
called on by Aguirre for the fee of
twenty foe cents said he had no money.
Aguirre offered to take the twenty-five
cents out in beef. This too was re-
fused. A day or two afterwards Aguirre
and Thomas Driscoll called on Valen-
zuela, and the inspector was again in
formed by the butcher that no quarter
could be Taid that day. Mr.. Driscoll
then offered to purchase quarters
worth of meat, that Valenzuela might
have the amount of his fee. This too
was refused.

THE British war-ship Melpomene las
arrived al Victoria from Callao, having
steamed the entire distance of 5000
knots at the rate of ten knots an hour
without coaling. This is spoken of as
an unsurpassed and seldom psralled
performance for a naval vessel. The
Melpomene is a modern cruiser OF 2,95
tons and 5000 horse power. Our mod
ern cruisers Of the Detroit class, of only
1000 tons, can steam about 5000 miles
at the rate of ten knots an hour without
stopping to coal; the Olympia, now near
ing completion at the Union Iron works,
can cover 1900 knots under like condi-
tions, and the big commerce destroyer
Columbia $4,000 knots. Even our older
1,700-ton gunboats of the Yorktown
type, in good condition, can steam $500
knots under the same conditions. The
feat of the Melp' meme may be creditable
for a British cruiser, but our new navy
would consider it nothing out of the or
binary runs. F. Chronicle.

Signs to Fight Corbett-
Racy Suit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The president
of the United States will be arraigned
In the United States senate Monday for
violating the spirit of the constitution
in endeavoring to destroy the independ-
ence of the law-giving branch of the
government by seeking to coerce con-
gress into passage of the repeal bill.
Notice to this effect was clearly indi-
Gated in resolution presented this
morning by Stewart of Nevada, upon
which he announced he would address
the senate Monday.
The resolution declares the independ-
ence of the coordinate departments OF
the government must be maintained
and the use of power and influence of
one department to co-1trol the action of
another was violation of the constitu-
ton and destruction of our form of gov
ernment.
The introduction of the resolution
created sensation and discussion of
matter Monday will attract great atten-
tion as it indicates the intention of the
silver senators to divert discussion in
the the senate to the alleged attempt of
the president t. control congress.
The cloture resolution was then taken
up and Turpie, of Indiana, argued
against adoption.
CLEVELAND ON SILVER.
NEW YORK, Sept. %. - President
Cleveland has taken the occasion to
deny that he is monometallist and to
declare that he is in favor of the utiliza-
tion of silver so far as it can possibly
be done with safety to sound currency
This statement regarding the presidents
position was made 10y Governor Thomas
Jones of Alabama.
Governor Jones shid he did not think
the president or any one else could tell
just how the senate is going to vote on
the silver measure.
