Highest of all in Leavening Power-Iatest u Govt Report
R>a!II! al! BaklRg BsSdsg,!
ABSOLUTELY PURE

, Governor LewelliDg answered what
would the governor of South Carolina
ask. Had not Kansas sent ex-con-
federstes to the congress? Was not
this an olive branch OF peace? Was it
nos sufficient evidences that the old
issues were dead? That the bloody
chasm was crossed and that the west
was prepared to 90 her part.
As Goverdor LewellIng closed Gov
ernor Tillman rose and the two COVER
nors grasped hands on common plat
form amid cheers which subsidized only
when the convention exhausted itself.
With the cessation of the cheering,
the question was put on the majority
report of the committee on resolutions
and it was adapted unanimously in the
form telegraphed last night. The res
olution providing for the call of nat
ional convention in January was with
drawn, and after the transaction OF
some minor business including the pass
age of the usual resolutions of thanks,
the convention adjourned sine die,
having first provided for the calling of
another convention, if deemed necessary
by the president and secretary OF the
Pan-American Bi-metallic Association.
At an informal conference this even
ing between Governors Lewelling, of
Kansas and Tillman, of South Carolina,
and the president and secretary of the
convention, it was decided practically
to hold another convention at Atlanta,
Ga, year hence.

The tariff mystery has been increased
by the official announcement that no
information concerning the new tariff
bill would be given out before the bill
was reported to the house, and that it
was altogether uncertain when that
would be. 1t is evident to all close
observers that a hitch in the tariff pro-
gram has been reached. 1t was only a
days ago that Chairman Wilson stated
positively that the work of preparing
the bill would be hastened by assigning
the preparation of the various schedules
to subcommittee, statement that was
not in accordance with the views of tie
power behind the committee, as Mr.
Wilson now announces without blush
thet no work will be done by sub-com-
mittees. The mystery surrounding the
preparation Of this bill is daily adding
t. the number of those who believe that
the democratic members of the house
ways ard means committee will have
little or nothing to do with making a
tariff bill, and that all that will be re-
quired of them will be to accept without
question and report to the house the bill
which will be submitted to them by the
administration. That being the pro-
gram it became absolutely neces- ary to
anno3 pee that DO inform 4tiCn would be
given ont until the bill is reporred. By
SAYING nothing members OF t he com
snittee will give away nothing.

They Give Their Reasons.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as soon as cold has
been contracted, and before it has be-
come settled in the system, it will
counreract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen it's severity, and it is the
only remedy that will do this. 1t acts
in perfect harmony with nature and aids
nature in relieving the lungs, opening
the secretions, liquefying the mucus the
lungs and restoring the system to g.
strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure cold so quickly. For sale

SPEAKING of that race question, won

MIR. Il. S. Scales. of North Carolina
"Their speakers keep hHrplIg on the
appointment of Taylor and of that
other negro to white countries, and
they're using it for all it's worth. They
charge at their meetings that Hoke

tries. That sounds funny, doesn't it!
Well, the reason they give is funn er.
They say that the t-o representatives

white people are all leaving the party
and their only hope OF keeping the party
is by paudering t0 the negroes"

changed.

The PasE;n.. OF tha Tcsnns

Tramps and tranps, thirty or forty OF
them, we're due TO arrive late this after
noon, on freight from The west. The
city authorities have all preparations
made for them. They are the same
party expected last night but did not
arrive at $50 when they were first due.
The CITIZEN was misinformed Yesterday
about their getting on at
Lordburg. 1t was some station to the
westward.
A gang of forty-fve late yesterday
arrived from the west on freight and
soon scattered themselves about the
city. The police were set at rounding
them up, which work was soon ac-
complished.
They were corraled in box car and
made to continue their transaconti-
mental flight.
One Tucson man, a machinist, who
has been somewhat inebriated of late,
thought it would be good opportunity
for cheap ride east. He Therefore
boarded the car. He had $50 In his
pocket, but by now among that gazing he
doubtless has nothing but his expert

ENGLnND'S COAL FAMINE.

On Monday coal will be 81 ton in
London. and it is expected that by the
end of the week il will reach S12 or even
more. Taking all the stores of the
metropolis into account. 1t is said there
is less than one full days supply on
hand, and ever if all the Midland mines,
which, 1T is hoped, will reopen on Mon
day, should do so, transit will be SO slow
that the scarcity will last for another
month. This is what Londoners princi-
pally know about the greatest labor
conflict of history and they don't like it.
There are whole huge sections of Eng
land densely populated and of more true
national importance than London,
where the price of housahoid fuel seems
a paltry matter IN comparison with
other results of this terrible deadlock.
1t is estimated that at least 100000 OF
wage earners are DOW affected, and
about fifty per cent of this number are
wholly out of work.-Ex.

at work sinking shafts and making all
other necessary arrangements to supply
San Francisco and other Pacific port
marksts with anthracite coal from
their mines inside of six months, and
thus another source of revenue here
tofore enjoyed by England will be
transferred to America, as the lessees Of
these mines are Americans and their
gains and profits will be the gain and
profit of America and loss to England.
So one by one the chain that binds US to
England is being broken. Soon its
financial monopoly of America will be
utterly destroyed.

THERE is now telk Of compromise
being arrived at on the silver Issue.
The sooner the repeal cf the Sherman
law is accomplished. whatever means be
ado Jted, the better for the country.
The Star, from which the fore going is
taken, is, although living in and
drawing its support from silver
producing country, an enemy of silver,
and IS such strikes and bites at the
hand that feeds It. The Star is good
paper, it claims to be the mcuthpiece of
the democracy of Arizona, and We
presume it is, but we sincerely regret
that its fort and influence is not with
the people who support it. Formerly it
was loyal to its home interests and the
white metal had no more zealous cham
pion than the Star, but unfortunately
it is otherwise now. Every issue is
hostile to silver interests ana TO silver
legislation. We cannot say that Cover
nor Hughes is responsible for this
of his earlier faith, for
he is in the east, but We much fear it
is in line with like sentiments said to
be expressed ID his annual report.

THE CONSERVATIVE (?) train robber,
Smith, who was recently turned loose
through the clemency Of Governor
Hughes, instead of "going home to de-
like a good man, as the governor as
sured the public be would, went to
Sonora, where he now lives and is to all
appearances as strong and healthy a
man as there is in that state. For a
While he was lost to the authorities but
they finally located him in Guaymas
where he was living with q Mexican
family in a secluded portion of the
town. When next seen he was at side
station on the Sonora ra lroad, in tie
act of taking notes on locomotive.
Possibly he was examining and admir-
ing the beauty and complexity Of its
construction, but railroad men have a
different opinion of his inquisitiveness
and are reported to be watching him
closely. In Sonora be gees by the

Civil Service Examination.

POstma ter Corbett has just received
notification that civil service examina-
tion viii De held at the Tucson post
Office on Saturday, Oct. II, ard to have
accommodations in readiness for the
examination of ten applicants.
The eyaminat ons will be conducted
by the travelling civil service examiner
and will be for the railway mail service
the postoffice department and the In
dian department.. The emoluments OF
such clerkships are not high from the
Arizona standpoint. For the first al
are urrler $1,000 6 year.
Good examinations in Tucson vii
probably bring quick returns, as
compared with those from other states
as Postmaster Corbett says tn re is a
dearth of applicants from Arizona.

Pews for the Episcopal Church.

A novel proposition Of supplying a
church with pews and pract cal one,
the idea of ]. II. Ormsby, will be used
to supply the Episcopal church of this
city. Il is that each member buy
literally his own pew. l. VII then be
his to the extent required for his own
family. The remainder of the seat not
occupied shall be public. The whole,
should the member die or leave the
city, reverts t. the church. As the pews
will cost about $l5 each the church will
thus be nearly or quite supplied with
the twenty-eight pews wanted. A bid
received this morning from an Indiana
firm, as follows, will probably be ac-
cepted:
ave will supply you with $50 feet
straight pewing; fifty-seven pew ends;
one wall support; fifty-seven book
racks; twenty-nlne center supports: and
hardware necessary; finished, with one
coat of patent silex wood filler and two
coats hard oil finish, rubbed to a dead
polish with pumice stone aud oil, deliver

DEFEAT OF THE REPEAL BILL
ASSURED

The president comedies that the
repeal bill cannot now be passed
Among the recent visitsrs to the White
house was a silver senator end when
questioned by the president as to the
probable passage of the repeal bill was
frankly told that its defeat had already
been decided upon. The executive
admitted that the outlook was not
bright and asked for definite informa-
ton.
at viii be beaten" said the visiting
senator, principally because we silver
men are determined and strong factor
in this fight, and further, because
numerous senators on the democratic
side want to see you whipped" was the
unhesitating answer. "a good many
of the democratic senators have an
nounced themselves in favor of the
repeaI;S' added the presidents visitor.
''but at at heart they hope it will be
beaten because they think you favor
it,
"How may senators will filibuster
to prevent voter" was the presidents
next question.
"About twenty" came the reply.
"Tell me who they are"
"That wouldn't be fair. / will state
frankly however, that i am one of the
twenty"
The president smiled at this retort
and then said:
swell, if there are twenty that will
flibuster to prevent a vote, there are
enough to prevent repeal passing"
He was for the second time assured by
the senator that repeal was defeated.

The new coal fields of Sonora will
make coke cheap, a fact that will slim
ulate the business cf smelling enor-
mous'y in Arizona. Today some of our
copper companies operate with coke
costing them $50 to S24 per ton. With
coke in abundance at the Sonora coal
fields it should be laid down almost
anywhere in Ariz ma for sc to IS per
ton, at the very outside. By the way
in the revision Of the tariff bill now
under consideration in congress it
would be we'll for interested people to
see that the tariff is made AS low as
practicable on this article of commerce.

IT seems likely that the McCreary
substitute for the Everett bill viii be
come a law. This substitute allows
the Chinese six months more time fol
registration, while the Everett bll
allows year. If any such bill is to
pass, the McCreary measure is of
course preferable to the people OF the
Pacific coast. Six months is more
than long enough TO enable all the Chi
nese to register. 1t is a pity that
Gesry was unable to get incorporated
in the bill, by the committee on
foreign affairs, provision requir-
ing photographs 10 b. take OF the

a VERY grave charge has beer
brought against the president of the
United States by his personal and
political friepds-that of having nom
mated j. j. Van Alien 70 be am bassadol
to Italy, knowing that the said nomina-
ton had been sold to the SAID Van
Alien by ex-Secretary Whitney for tie
sum Of $4,000, which was turned into
the democratic campaign fund last
year. i is stated by those who - iny
closest personal relations with Mr.
Cleveland that ne was congni2ant Of tn
$4,000 contribution and the terms upor
which it was made and that tha nomina-
tion Of Van Allen was not se to the
senate until he had refused to reliuqui b
his claim thereto for the return of his
$4,000, which certain friends of Mr..
Cleveland offered 10 contribute IL order
to prevent the consummation OF the
scandalous bargain, and had threatened
to make public the transaction. As
might be supposed this charge has
created a sensation in coneess. The
nomination OF Van Allen is now before
the sarate committee on foreign rela-
tions, which may make an investigation
of the charge, although the chances are
that an attempt will be made to hush
the matter up by getting Mr.. Cleveland
to withdraw the nomination. To judge
from remarks made by senators it will
be next to impossible to get favorable
report from the committee on this
nomination, and even if favorable
report is .ecured the senate will in all
proba bility reject the nomination by
a considerable majority. OF course there
Is a possibility of Van Allen being con-
frmed, but his rejection by the senate
would relieve the president of the very
situation his political
friends have gotten him into. Notwtb-
standing what his friends may say to the
contrary the country will be slow to be-
lieve that the president of the United
States lent himself willingly to the bar
gain and sale his own party men are
now charging against him. Some men
need saving from their friends and we
think that President Cleveland is en-
joying the Leights of this infelicity.

THE situation in the senate remains
much the same, except that the per
sonslities which have crept into the
debate during the last few days have
raised new obstacles to anything like g
satisfactory compromise. Still COM
promise seems to the most unpreiudiced
observers the only possible way to get
any legislation dealing with silver, but
the more the senators quarrel the more
difficult compromise will be. Another
attemp: is to be made next week to force
a vote by keeping the senate in session
twelve hours 1ay, but nobody seriously
believes that it will do more than
demonstrate the impossibility of forcing
vote. The committee on rules has
not acted upon Senator Piatt's resolu-
ton proposing cloture ans it is not
likely that it will. Certain it Is that

To listen to the arguments put for
ward by the democrats of the house in
favor of the bill for the repeal of all
laws providing for federal supervision
electiong carries one back to the days
of Calhoun and notification. The
democrats are ignoring the fact that
the blood of million Americans was
shed in determining that this was a
nation, and are trotting out all of the
old threadbare states rights ideas that
were used in congress for a decade
previous to the rebellion.

Why the Mail Failed to Come.

A very large paper mail arrived this
morning from the east. Its non-arrival
on time is explained by the following
special dispatch to Texas paper from
Barstow. that state:
The Pecos river is on another RAM
page and has again washed out the
Texas & Pacific railroad. AT a late
hour this evening the water was within
a few inches of as high as it was in
August, whsn the road was so badly
washed out. The dump beirg high
and about threefourths of a mile ne,
and being replaced with loose dirt, it
WIS easily washed out again"
