THE Denver Republican pays the
following handsome tribute to Arizona:
Gold mining in Arizona is attracting
more attention than usual because of the
depression in silver. That territory will
come to the front in the next few years
and will receive great deal of immigra-
tion. 1t has enormous resources in
both silver and gold, and it probably is
the best gold region in the United
States, although its resources in this
respect are very little developed. An
effort will DO made in the present con-
gress to secure the admission of Arizona
into the union, and if it shall be suc-
cessful it will stimulate the growth and
development Of the country enormously.

BLAINE ON SILVER REMONETI-
ZATION IN 1878.

In the Congressional Record, page 82l,
volume Z, the following is found in one
of James G. Blaine's speeches:
"On the much-vexed and long-mooted
question of bimetallic or monometallic
standard, my own views are sufficiently
indicated in the remarks have made,
| believe that the struggle now going
on in this country and in other countries
for single gold standard would, if sue
cessful, produce widespread disaster in
and throughout the commercial world.
The destruction of silver rs money and
establishing gold as the sole unit of
value must have a ruinous effect on all
forms of property except those invest
ments which yield fixed return in
money. This would be enormously en-
HANGED in value and would gain dis
proportionate and unfair advantage
over every other species of property.
IL as The most reliable statistics affirm.
there are nearly S7,OO0,OO0,OOO of coin
bullion in the world, not very unequally
divided between gold and silver, it is
impossible to strike silver out of exis-
tence as money without results which
will prove distressing to millions and
utterly disastrous 20 tens Of thousands"
Again he said:
II believe gold and silver coin to be
the money of the constitution, indeed
the money of the American people an
terror to tie constitution, which the
great organic law recognized as quite
Independent of its own existence. No
power was conferred oil congress TO
declare either metal should not be money.
Congress has therefore, in my judg-
ment. no power to demonetize either any
more than to demonetize both.
If, therefore, silver has been demone-
tized, | am in favor of remonetizing it.
If its coinage has been prohibited, l am
in favor of ordering it to be resumed.
If it has been restricted, am in fav or
of having it enlarged. x / think |
now very clearly, with the light before |
me, that it (the act of 1879 was a great |
blunder."

Boating Accident.

SAN FRANoreoo, Sept. 2O.-A sad boat
ing accident took place yesterday;after-
noon. and resulted in the death Of
Caesar ID. Landresse, who, with three
other men, went out in skiff for the
purpose of taking a sail. There was
quite a stiff breeze blowing, the boat
was struck by squall and up let, throw
ing the men into the water. The three
men chung to the upturned boat until
rescued by whaleboat, which went to
their assistance, but Eandress, who was
good swimmer, struck out for the
shore. He made a hard fight for life
and managed to reach the beach, but
was SO exhausted that he died soon
after.

Grand Bombardment De-
clared to Be Imminent.
FLEEING FROM THE CITY,
Reign of Terror Among the Me-
groes Of New Orleans
Charley Mitchell Kicking.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Admiral DeMil-
lers has sent an ultimatum to the au
thorities at Rio Janeiro announcing his
intention Immediately to thoroughly
lombard the city with all his ships I'M
less it promptly surrenders.
This information comes from an agent
of the leading banking houses Of this
city with large Brazilian interests and
is believed to be thoroughly reliably
despatch. 1t adds that Rio is in the
utmost CONSERVATION and dismay. Citi-
tizens are fleeing to the country with
such of their belongings as they can
carry, and merchants are placing goods
in cellars preparatory to following them.
The consular representatives, of the
powers are using their utmost efforts to
dissuade the rebel commander from
carrying out his threat but SO far with
out avail.
Heavy pressure is being brought to
bear on local authorities to induce them
to surrender, as it considered folly to
resist, the forts being unable to do
anything against the rebel gunboats
and land artillery is unable to reach
from their shelter behind islands in
bay from which they throw shell into the
city. The rebels are recognized to hold
out the means simply of destruction of
the city, without any compromising
advantage to Peixotto.
In the meantime three rebel
vessels reached Santos after a sharp
fight and succeeded in landing a strong
force Of marines, and at the time of the
dispatch were sent endevoring to carry
the city by assault with probability of
success.

Vinegar From Watermelons.

Mr.. Watts, of the water company
has been growing some fine big water
melons, a great many more than there is
market for, and has gone into the bust
ness of making vinegar of them.
They are cut up, and the juice ex-
tracted, and an excellent quality of
vinegar obtained.
Mr.. Watts says that to dispose OF
watermelons reminds him of the Mis-.
sourian with the coonskins The man
was hunter, and brought a wagcnloaG
Of the pelts to town to sell them. He
could not sell them at any price. He
then tried to give them away. No one
wanted them. He then drove along the
streets and threw them out behind,
one at time. Passers-by seeing the
skins on the street hailed him and in
formed him that he was losing his coon
skins.
"D-n the coonskins!" he yelled
II can't sell them, i can't give them
away, and now / can't lose them"
So it is with watermelons, says Mr.
Watts. He thinks, however, that as
vinegar they will sell.

AMERICA STRULE AMERICA

Canada is finding that her interests
are drawing her day by day nearer to
this country. There are forces at work
among her population that indicate
that large number Of her inhabitants
are not only willing but anxious to be-
come American citizens, and at the same
time remain on their native soil. Mex
leo, too is finding that her interests are
bounded at many points by, and are
identical with, this country; and the
same may be said in even a greater
degree of Central America. The Nj
caragua canal is rapidly becoming an
item Of moment to the United States. 1t
may be years before it is built, but built
it must be, and by this country. Re-
CARELESS OF incidents, assertions, and
preiudices, this is the logic of the situa-
tior. The West Indies are also looking
to this country as their hope. We're
Cuba freed from Spanish rule today
she would knock at the doors of this
union for annexation and admission
with greater vehemence than Hawai-
has done, or even poor Samoa, both of
which by right ought to be under our
flag. But whether if shall be wisdom
to annex another foot of territory or to
do otherwise. this country must be, as
it is her right to be, the leader of this
hemisphere and the head of the greater
America, including within its borders
every nation and every dependency that
now submits in anywise to the dictatlon
or rule of Europe.-Blue and Gray for

Cottages in De msnd

Demands for cottages are far in ex-
cess OF the supply, says |. A. Shedd, the
real estate agent. Mr.. Shedd says that
IN the past week he could have rented
twenty small houses had he had them.
A better investment than such buildings
is hard to find. Flfteen-huudred-dol lar
buildings will readily bring s25a month.
This IS twenty per cent per annum.
The same is the case at Winslow,
Arizona There the demand for houses
cannot be met, and for the time being
the boarding houses are filled with
waiting tenants. Lack of funds to pro-
coed with building led the building
association to discontinue after they
put up the five cottages in July. These
were taken long before finished.

The interests of the American pocket
cutlery we're next attended to, with
William T. Rockwell and I. w. Brad
ley as spokesman. Mr.. Rockwell said
that since the passage OF the Mckinley
law the domestic manufacturers have
more than doubled their capacity, and
that there were now S2,500,OOO invested
in the manufacture of pocket cutlery in
this country. Mr.. Bradley explained
that the difference in wages paid in this
and foreign countries made it i'm posi-
BILE for manufacturers to compete on
equal lines without the aid of protec-
tive tariff. He declaIe1 that the price
to the consumer was not increased since
the passage of the law of 1890.
John Jarrett, of the iron and steel
sheet manufacturers, introduced Mr..
Battelle, who spoke in the interest of
that industry. He said there was about
515,000,000 invested in tie manufacture
of iron and steel sheets, that 1900 men
were employed, representing popula-
tion OF 5000 people. He declared that
a tariff on strictly revenue basis would
destroy the industry. Ex-Representa-
tive +. G. Neidringhaus followed in the
interest of TIE tin-plate industry. He
insisted that millions OF dollars were in
vested in the manufacture OF tin in this
country and thousands of men were en-
ployed. "We pay" said he, $50 per
cent more in wages than is paid in Eu
rope. Labor gets all the benefit of the
duty. If the duty is reduced to fifty, as
it wa5 before the passage Of the bin of
1890, it will reduce labor one-third. If
a free-trade measure is enacted labor
VIII he reduced one-hslf"

union, Arizona is the !yery last that
could afford to neglect che opportunity
offered by this qusdennial exposition.
From the day thGt her existence was
first made known, men have lied about
Arizona. The American public has
been brought up to believe that this
territory is land of scorching plains,
where nothing can grow but the imper-
turbable cactus, where nothing can live
but tbs tarantuls and Apache. They
have thought of it as land impossible
of settlement.
And yet when the white flower Of civ
ilization has blossomed upon that desert,
when modern cities have risen upon the
ruins Of towns older than history, when
capital has begun to learn that ventures
sent out to this far land come back with
varying increase, and when, at last, the
great territory stands knocking at the
door for admission into the sisterhood
of states, the phenomenal opportunity
of all the centuries is allowed to pass
without the exhibition of one sheaf of
wheat from her fields, of one orange or
peach, or fig from all her orchards, to
tell the story of her coming greatness
and to give the lie to the libel with
which the long years of the past have
branded her name.
1t is understood that the territory did |
appropriate $4,000 for her representa-
tion at this fair. If so, what became of

The only product of Arizona soil ex-

not necessary to show this to teach the
public that it will grow on the desert
What was desirable was an exhibit that
would show that something beside the
cactus will grow in Arizona.
