WICKED DECEPTION.

Now comes the story that in some OF
the chief mining towns of Montana
circulars have been published calling
attention to the need of laboring men
in San Francisco. If any such reports
have been published they are cruel
deception. 1t ought to be we'll Known
all over the Pacific Coast that there is
no call for laborers here in the winter
season. This has been true in the best
business years. The number applying
for work has always exceeded the
demand, even for skilled labor. Some
thousand in all come down from the
mines and the agricultural districts to
winter in this city. The tax on the
benevolence of citizens has already beer
a severe one. The mid-wintsr fair can
give employment to only a few men.
When the Worlds fair buildings were
about to be erected in Chicago thou
sands of laborers focked to that city TO
find work. But notice was given at the
outset that there were more resident
laborers in Chicago than could possibly
find work on the fair grounds. The
few hundred who now find work on the
Mid-winter fair grounds of this city
really make no impression on the great
number wo cannot find anything to do.

THE BIG BATTLE TO FOLLOW

The democratic legislative program is
to easily disiointed, and the changes are
30 lightning-like and unstable that it is
risky business to venture an editorial
opinion On what they are likely to do
with silver before they get through with
another days session. However, it seems
to be pretty well settled now that Cleve-
land has whipped IN the southern con-
tingent and that repeal is certain. While
on the surface, this surrender appears
complete, We are constrained to believe
that Mr.. Cleveland must have also made
very many concessions in order to bring
about this apparent one.man victory.
1t will be remembered that Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, stated the other day
that senators who were with the admi-
nistration for repeal had pledged them
selves to support subsequent legislation
favorable to silver, and the administra-
tion has pledged itself in the same way"
This is undoubtedly the key note to the
solution of the problem. In order to
avert the ignominy Of compromise Mr..
Cleveland has had to go further with his
pledges in this respect than he originally
intended, and as last resort has con-
sented to countenance legislation, follow
ing repeal, that would result in much
wider use of silver as money. In no
other way could he have accomplished
his whipping-in enterprise surely, for the
south is plainly with the west in this
fight for silver.-New Mexican.

A MENACE TO STATEHOOD.

A possible menace to statehood may
be seen in expressions from the eastern
press like the following from Harper's
Weekly:
1t has now been demonstrated that
tie senate is the weakest and most
dangerous feature in the federal system.
The trainers of the constitution regard
ed it as a most meritorious device. 1t
had eot existed eighty years before 1T
proved that one part of its supposed
mission was failure. 1t was not q
check, but menace, to the executive.
Now, at the beginning OF the second
century, it abundsntly proves that ex-
cessso are to be expected from it rather
than from the house OF representatives.
While the country has been growing
in intelligence the senate has been be-
coming radical, communistic, dangerous.
OF the eighty-e;gbt members who now
compose it, sixty-two represent states
created by the federal government. Two
more than half of the senators come
from the far west and the south-the
sections now in alliance on monetary
questions. But these states elect only
137 representatives; while the more
populous, the richer, and the more
intelligent states elect 219 members.
The admission of new states, with their
shifting, restless, uncertain, and specu-
lative people, has increased the
number of senators whe represent
thinly settled parts of the country,
that have temporary advantage to gain
from measures of legislation that weigh
heavily upon the settled and conserva-
tive sections, disturb their trade, and
threaten both their accumulated wealth
and their active capital.

COLONIZING SCHEMES.

The wcrld is aweary with democratic
greatness. The Star "the leading dem
ocratic newspaper in Arizona" tells a
listening public that Governor Hughes
will colonize the fertile valley of the
Santa Cruz with laborers in the Lords
vineyard. The Gazette "the leading
democratic newspaper in Arizona un-
blushingly announces the coming OF
Gee Wah and party of "sooners." The
governors colony is expected to cut
a deep cash in the low morals of the
territory and religious tracts and ripe
religious thoughts only will be grown.
A great future for the territory is prom
ised from this new industry. The
Colorado river will be opened to naviga-
tion and the democratic party brought
to contrition and tears. "Get thee be-
hind me Satan," will be the shiboleth
of tie regenerated democracy and
whlskey drinking and bath room
dodging" will be lost arts to the faithful.
The Gazette colony will be located in
the Salt River country and will be
composed mostly of young men gone
wrong, "bath room dodgers" and ladies
and gentlemen of "hasty considera-
tions" They will purchase the
Fredonia hotel, start a womans rights
club, raise new regulations and dem
ocrats generally. They will give the
governors colony on the Santa Cruz.
a market for Surplus morality. Sunday
closing and anti whiskey movements
Of course these colonizations schemes
are of slow growth and statehood is
yet a far off if it must wait for their
maturity. We therefore urge upon the
suffering public to go right ahead
about their business, claim one hundred
and fifty thousand population for the
territory, all democrats or all republi-
cans as the exingencies of the case de-
mands, and talk statehood till we get
to be a state, for we want statehood.
We need it in our business.

Seducer Booth may Settle.

A compromise is possible that will be
satisfactory to both parties in the seduc-
ton case of Edwin ID. Booth, the school
teacher who it is charged wronged one
of his pupils, Miss Winnie King, 13
years old, at Wilcox.
Kings examination took place at
Wilcox Wednesday, Judge Barnes
appearing for him, District Attorney
Staehls against him.
Booth waived the preliminary and
was bound over in the sum of $500,
regardless of the effort OF his attorney TO
have it fixed at q lower figure. He
claimed to be able to make banking
connections in the east for the amount
of the bail; until he did so he YVES commit
ed. He was taken to Tombstone We'd
nesday evening by Constable Howarth,
where he is confined in the county
Jail until bail is furnished, or the con-
vening of court, which is on Novem-
Der l3.
The arrest was made at a country
house where a social party was in
progress, and it created no little excite
ment among those in attendance. Booth
was kept in irons through Texas.
The Wilcox Stockman claims no
gun plays were made in the party that
assembled at the station to meet Booth.
A strong guard was kept for Booth
while he was In Wilcox.
The trial, should it come to trial,
will be heard behind closed doors.

THE fist shaking now going oD be-
tween the editors of the Gazette and
the Star-the leading democratic papers
in the territory-has a tendency to
make all other democratic editors lie
sick abed. The Gazette reaches for the
shekels that are ground from the mint
of the governors unpopularity. And the
editor OF the Star, who knows good
thing when he sees one, modestly rises
and approves its accounts for territorial
printing to which 1t is entitled for its
answering loyalty to the territorial
administration, and smiles serenely as
he coppers the Gazette's demand for
thousand-dollar pull at the territorial
swag. Between the two the democratic
party and the territorial pocket book
are being ground for legitimate grist
and other democratic editors are strictly
not IN 1t.

A territorial statehood convention is
hereby called to assemble in the city of
Phoenix on the 9th day of November,

committee on foreign relations met
this morning to consider the Chinese
question with a view to action upon
the house bill amending the Geary
law so as to extend for six months the
time in which the Chinese laborers

Secretary Gresham was in attendance

upon the subject. The committee con-
sidered the question of the expense OF
the deportation of the Chinese residents
of the country which secretary of the
treasury places at S1,O0O,OOO.
The committee did not reach any
conclusion concerning the bill and it
would appear quite probable that it will
net be reported to the senate before the
beginning of the regular session IN

the part of the committee to investigate
all the facts bearing upon the question
and also to give the people of the
western coast an opportunity to be

PIMA County has taken no steps
towards sending delegates to the state
hood convention soon to be held at
Phoenix, and we are constrained to be-
lieve that none are necessary. The
matter of statehood is now before con-
gress and anything that may be said or
done here can have no influence with
that body. Petitions and prayers from
Arizons Of one kind or another, have
been seut to Washington ever since
Arizona was, but not one has been
hearkened to and never will be till we
attain statehood. The bill before con-
gress should be personally urged upon
the attention of that body, but by
whom we are free to say we do not
know. Not by our present delegate for
if reports be true, he is without stand

A CHEERFUL COMPANION.
The True Grit of a New England Woman
In the West.

The True Grit of New England Woman
In the West.
During a recent trip through the
Dakotas, writes a correspondent,
came upon a woman who seemed to
exemplify what may be termed true
grit. 1t was near noon of hot July
day that rode up to a cabin door TO
inquire my way. Poverty and yet
thrift!' 1 said to myself as 1 glanced
about. A woman with child in her
arms answered my knock.
Something in her voice prompted me
to say: You're from New England?''
'Yes, but we've come west to grow
up with the country" was her cheerful
answer.
"You like Dakota?''
"Yes, or shall when we get started
she replied. We've been here three
years. The first season the frost killed
the wheat The next year twas the
drought spoilt fifty acres of as fine
wheat as / ever looked on. Twas
hard, for we had to mortgage part of
the farm, to keep above board. We've
got a good crop in this year, but what'n
happen we can't tell" she concluded,
with smile.
"You keep up a brave heart" re-
marked.
''Oh, that isn't all our i'll luck" said
the woman. Our team horses died
this spring. John, my husband, gets a
little blue sometimes. But / tell him
we're well off; we've both got our
hao va'r
heads. If we prosper, Wen be ont Of
debt in year or two"
you've no doctor very near in case
you were SICK" was my remark
Not within twenty miles; but we
never get sick, you see; we're not able
to-" she added. lightly.
''You must miss the social privileges
of your early hfe," was my next re-
mark.
Were too busy, guess, to be lone
some," she said; "and then there's
John and the three children. I should
be ashamed of myself to be lonesome
with them"
81 suppose there may be school and
church near?" was my query.
Twenty miles away; that's the
nearest" she said. "But I teach the
and we have services at the
house every Sunday. John reads a
sermon. and he and 1 sing and read
from the Bible and pray. We like to
do it; and then it's good for the chill
dren."
Don't you sometimes wish to return
to New England?' i asked
"Oh, no." she laughed, ''we've come
here to stay, and we shall stick to Da-
kota. Our luck will turn if we hold
on. You may hear of US yet among the
noted citizens of the state"
rode away pondering. With such
a wife, what may not a man accom-
plish?" was the burden of my thought.

TO IMPROVE THE COLORADO.

Colorado river improvements are at
tracing considerable attention at pres
ent and although nothing in that direc-
tion may now be done, the indications
are that an agreement between the two
countries will yet be reached and the
river be put in shape for profitable
navigation. The following from the
San Francisco Bulletin tersely sets
forth the feasibility of the scheme.
The Colorado river has great possibili-
ties as a channel of commerce. 1t is
navigable for light-draught steamers as
far as Callville, 612 miles from the mouth,
and under favorable circumstances
to the mouth of Grand canyon, fifty
seven miles above. Below the Grand
and Black canyons valley, from three
to eight miles wide, extends along the
river. 1t only needs irrigation to be
highly productive. That has already
been amply proven by experience.
There is room for large population and
the river offers cheap and convenient
transportation. Governor Hughes, of
Arizona, wants concerted action by the
American and Mexican government to
improve the navigation of the river. Its
course for the last $50 miles is through
Mexican territory. Some jetties at the
mouth are desired, and considerable
snagging and dredging will be necessary
throughout its course. Minister Ro-
nero looks favorably upen the scheme.
just now circumstances are not favora-
BILE for asking appropriations for new
and extensive river improvement. This
democratic administration and congress
have too much to do to made ends meet.
1t might be possible, however, to obtain
the appointment of commission to in
vestigate the matter in conjunction with
a similar Mexican commission. By the
time that the country has returned to
its normal prosperity the joint COM
mission will be ready with its recon-
mendations. The fact that Mexico con-
trolls the lower course OF the river is
not essential. The two nations are good

ALICE MITCHELL'S DAILY LIFE.
The Slayer of Freda Ward Hard
Worker in Tennessee Asylum.

The Slayer of Freda Ward Il Hard
Worker in Tennessee Asylum.
1t is said by one of Alice Mitchell's at
PENDANTS in the insane asylum at Boil
var, Tenn, that she is one of the most
useful women in the asylum; that she
works harder than any attendant in the
wards. She scrubs the floors, washes
the dishes and assists in every way in
keeping things in order; that she shows
the greatest interests IL the patients,
especially the old women, to whom she
is tenderly kind She is always bright
and cheerful, says a correspondent of
the New Orleans Times Democrat, and
perfectly contented in the asylum. She
has never been heard to call Freda
Ward S name or speak of that horrible
murder, which from its cold-blooded-
ness has caused the whole world to re-
sound her name. She occupies cell
just exactly like those of other patients,
without one comfort more. but she is al
lowed to eat at the attendants table,
were every delicacy is provided for her
by her family. She Is good musician,
and when she is not at work passes her
time by singing and playing. Her faith
er and mother visit her very often, and
always take her out driving, Each time
she appears on the streets of Bolivar
the people i seem eager to catch a
glimpse of her. She has never shown
any symptoms Of insanity except III fits
of anger, which are very seldom, but,
said the attendant, there is no mistak-
ing that wild CLEAN of insanity that
flashes in her eyes at those times She
/ is one of the most violent tempered
women in the world, and the attendants
consider her dangerous outside of the
aSVll1O0 w han asked how Offpn Ch "a
had seen her in these moods, the hest
tating reply was: "Only once" The
attendant appeared to be very fond of
her and SAYS she does not believe she
remembers anything about the killing
of Freda Ward.
