WE denounce the Republican Legis- latlon known as the Sherman set of 1890 as cowardiy mGkeshift. fraugbt with possibilities of danger in the future which should make all of its supporters as w Il as its author, anXi us for its speedy repeal National Platform of tue Democratic Party.
 When Democrats oppose the repeal of the Sherman act of 1890, in the United States Senate, it IS not amies 10 bear in mind the forgoing except from the National Democratic Platform of 1892. Many Republicans believe in ths Sherman act, it was good and is still so far as it goes, but the Demo crats denounced it in their national platform and they denounced it in the Senate. Now however, comes a turn of the political wheel, bill has been in- treduced to repeal ''the cowardly make shift" only to find the Democrats loud mouthed m its support. The bad of yesterday as Republican measure, is good today as Democratic makeshlft. Such blatant demagogery is disgusting. The measure is good one and until better substitute is offered every friend of silver and of the silver pro- ducing States will oppose the repeal oft bill. The present supportof he Democrats can be honestly regarded as a miserable subterfuge to cover up their long cherish d emnity against the remontization of silver.

Patent Medicine Agents Are Making s
 New Departure to Sell Their Wares.
 There are indications that the patent medicine trade, like the book trade, is falling into the hands of canvassers. The medicine vender is now frequently met with in Maine villages and on the country roads, says the Lewiston Journal. Another feature fast de- veloping Tn the business is the use of ''the living specimen" to furnish con vincing proof of the efficacy of the con- coctiOn. From the old-time plain certi- ficate cure, the next step was to print the picture of the person on whom the miracle was performed.
 Now, the foremost in this race for trade are introducing personally to sufferers the cured person, whose. per sOnal statement. like that of the witness in court, is more effective than any cer- tificate could be. In one Maine village the officers of both agent and witness are united in the same person, and he does a thriving business buttOnhOling the farmers and other visitors to the place, exhibiting himself as one rescued from the grave. Under the new sys- tenn. to be sick may be no misfortune, provided one gets well and can at tribute his case to a patent medicine. It may result in good salary.

TEE enemies of l.. c. Hughes are catchigg at straws to encompass his de- feat. The resolution of the Editorial as- socistion endorsing him for governor is the ast subject that has been ground through their analytical mill. It l. charged that but few representatives of the Territorial press gere present at the meeting. This in a measure is true but with the lone exception of the Graham County Bulletin, the action of the Edi- torial assosaJion has been endorsed by every newspaper in the Territory. Even the Bulletin gave the measure its en- dorsement and experienced no change of heart from the time Hughes candl- d icy was annouced till the recent visit of ts Editor to Tucson. While here he fell in with ihe camp of the Kicker and was scooped. Hughes lest sup porter and it would be indeed strange If he did not considering the flc icus disposition of the b. mOcratic party il the Territory, mo particularly in Tucson where the genu ses for kicking fiournish in both sunshine and shadow. Against this one desertion Hughes can array the entire press of the Territory. and through the press the people re- with him fer governor. These are the plain facts in the case. As Repu lican s we have no interest in the matter beyond that common to all, viz: giving the Territory as good a government as the democracy can give #.

Cardinal Gibbons.

His Emint nee CIrdinal Gibbons IS to- day more than ever a great central force of ths Catholic church Tn AmerlCa. This Is not much duA to the exalted position
 he so ably tlls.as to tEe great sits which have not Only won recognition at the hands of the Pope, but have gwen him such a warm place in the e taem of the American Ieople.
 The zeal and learning exhibited when a priest were but still further empha- sized when he presIdt q over the Rich mOnd diocese, and led to hls selection at the h ad of the primatal See of America wh-n the Cho;shopr of Baltiu be- came vacant by the death of Archbishop B yley.
 The influence of his magnificent per sonaii y, genlal, broad- minded and cul- tureG, thoroughly American in all that
 makes the term worth aryih ug, has done incaiculable serv ce in Lne c tGolic church, and in winning for It more re- spectful consideration from those with out its commupiJn.
 Cardinal GibOous IS truly one of the best loved men in Baltimore. Neary every afternoon His EmiHencs can be seen on it's streets. He eni ,ys the best of health, which fs probably que to the regularity of his dai y life and hIs love of lresh air and exerciss. The mocnmg hours are given over to the recept on of callers and to the dictatir If letters to his very efficient secretary, Father F. J. DOnOh e. Between the hours of 3:3J md 4:30 each afte nojn 10 again re- ceives visitors. Then be takes one of his long walks. He is often accom- pa med by on-- of the priests. At St. NJ rvs seminary and at the Palace it is con- sidered quiJe an unCertaking for eveo the youngest and strongest priests 10 keep up with the Cardinal during these "coastit1tionals." ."-"Cardiuel Gibbons," by W. H. Tammen, in Donanoe's Maga- zine for February.

TIE adjournment of Congress, and consequent loss of a day by
 both House and Senate, on account of the death of some man who is or has been prominent in public life
 has been so frequent at this session
 that the abolishment of the custom
 is being seriously talked of in con- gressional circles. Said EX-Speaker Reed on the subject: "It strikes me
 that this adjournment business is carried too far. It is all well enough in certain instances, but in others it is simply hollow mockery that takes the form of an excuse to shirk work" Representative Burrows, of Michigan, said: "The meaning of these frequent adjournmcnts is that the House does not intend to do any business at this session. But they do no harm, for the Democratic party Is always safe when it is going to funeral" Representative Stewart, of Illinois, asks this conun- drum: "If we adjourn twice a week on account of somebodv's death when the population is only 6o,ooO,- 900, how many days will be in a session when there are ten times 6O,oOO,OoO and the prominent men increase in proportion?" The question may be shirked now, but sooner or later it will have to be met and settled, and there is only one commOn-sense way to settle 1t.

WHAT IS BEFORE US,
Dr. Comstock of the University Pic

In spite of the indictment weather yesterday the announcement that Dr. Comstock of tue tn veTsity would speb k upon What IS Before Us attracted d number of interested listeners froEn town. Among those who were preseut besides the entire University colony We're Mir. ana Mrs. L. c. Hughes, Mir. ii. C. Boone, Mr. Collier, and Mr. G. w. Brown. The hall a. usual at these Wee nesday afternoon public assem Ulies was comfortably warmed and the au- dience NaS soon at its ease.
 Dr. Coms ock read his lecture and though It WAS by no means shcrt, 70 skillfuliy did he lnterweave the siikt n threads of illustrative personal reml- niscence ard dialect anecdotee with the iirmer ard more valuable worsted of his discourse that he did not faII to held the rapt at ention of each of b IS auditors to the end.
 His address took the form of an enno- bling eXhOctatiOn to the students, and while the learned lecturer touched m It's Course upon variety of topics following out trains of thought suggested by lis subject, ore pr ncipal idea pervlced 1t throughout; the importance of learning 10 lhink for O. eself early in life, tJ be self reliant, and to have Individuality.
 By hls remarks DT, ComsIoCk cle; rly evinced that fact that he is one of that limi ed numbe of professional scien iic men who recognize the value and iIn- D ,riance of the cl ss cs in fundamental al education.

 Brief extracts of the lecture fail to cIve an accurate idea of the whole. Following however m a portion of the doctors prophetic vision of the future of AriZona, her University, and its students:
 Tier resources iu large measure, lie buried COW, guarded tCo well by the g'ants 1n1olence aud Ignorance. Here in ih SC halls s all be forged the key to unlock fhesa treasures, the weapons these g'arts cannot withstand: and to ou and your generation shall be gwen the taiisman oe the faITy-knoWledge- with which to sl y the giants.

It was at first thought that in order to comply with the law the Secretary of State would have to send messenger for the duplicate returns, but after a conference with Attorney General Miller, and careful examination of the law 1t was decided to be unnecessary as one set of returns had beenreceived from each of the states by mail. Under similar circumstances in the past messengers have been sent.

Thereport is not pleasing to the Democrats; they hoped that the showing would have been much poorer.

SILVER clubs have been organized in Tucson and NogaleS, but in both instances the attendapce is small. In a silver loving and silver producing land where every mans social and busi- ness interest IS in favor of free silver there is nothing for such organizations to do. They may meet, organize and pass resolutions, but inasmuch as all Arizonans are of the silver way of thinking this labor of love IS somewhat inclined to fatten at boths ends Clubs are formed for the purpose of cultivating a particular sentiment, but in Arizona there Is nothing to cultivate in that direction. Silver clubs as edu- cators in Arizona are on line with the good samaritans who started a club for the purpose of teaching hungry men to eat bread and butter.

ton problem by summarlly prohibiting
 immigration. Forthwith, the emigrant
 ships sought theIr docks in Europe,
 and there some of them have been rust { ing and rotting, while others have been
 sold to go into commission in other
 seas for other services. Great steam
 ship companies recognized the element
 of permanence and irrevocability in
 what seemed on its face a mere tran sient expedient, and they prepared to
 go out of business. The Worlds Fair la another factor in the conspiracy Sg ainst the immi grant ship. Neither Europeans nor Americans will want to go to Chicago if cholera infection is to be spread along the road from New York harbor to the White City on Lake
 Michigan. There will be no serious danger of cholera infection from ships bringing only first and second-class passengers. Nor will there be irksome quarantine detention for such ships
 The conditions altogether are of kind to hold public opinion up to the point of justifying the exclusion of immi- grants this coming year. If Congress does not exclude them, they will never theless be excluded by executive orders under the new national quarantine sys- tenn that IS certain to be created. But 1t IS probable that Congress will vote to suspend immigration for year, during which time measure will be prepared to go into permanent operation impos- ing literacy and property tests upon future immigrants, and providing for preliminary consular investigation of each applicants character in his own home.-February Review of Reviews

Two hundred manufactures from all parts of the country is gathered at Independence Missouri preparatory to great tour of Mexico. The party leaves here the 2d of February. The object of the excursion IS to esta- blish closer trade relations between this county and the Republic of Mexico. It is argued by the gentlemen wffo are getting up the trip that, if the manu- fucturers of the United States can only be made to realize what a rich field for their products lies at their own doors in the southern republic, over which President Diaz rules, they will combine to make sorle efforts to get a firmer hold on the Mexican trade, much of which Is now controlled by England, Germany and France. A personal inspection of the field it is hoped, will give the American manu- lecturers a better idea of the advan- tageS that lie in closer relations with Mexico, and the excursion to the re public IS expected to bring about boom in trade with that country.
