rur DEArH KNELL OF TIE WEST.

The receipt by telegraph yester-
 day of President Cleveland's inten- tlons to coerce the American people into his belief of a financial prob
 lem for the government he presideS
 over, caused a wholesome expres-
 sion over the stand he has taken on
 silver, although his attitude was
 not unexpected, In a little com
 munity like Prescott, the formal declaration of the President, as
 glyei out in hIs message. something
 ot a regret was expressed over his
 course, but universally nothing but
 the severest condemnation was the
 tone of men of roth parties. For
 the time, politics did not figure.
 ana had the representative of any
 other party been in power. uu,ler
 the same circumstances, the pulse
 oi the people would have registered
 the same feeling The silver aues-
 tlon has become to the western peO-
 pie the same that an eastern manu-
 featuring center bears toward the
 maintenance of it's factorleS. To
 attempt the destruction of either the people rise with one voice and preParc Tor the preservation of their industry. This has been the prin- ciple on which the Republic owes to-day its existence, and it has been followed on down until the present time when a new issue comes affect ing the present and the future pros perity of q people whose only hope iles m the perpetuation and ad- yancement of its leading industry. The hostile opposition taken by the president against silver cannot be misinterpreted. He demands oi 1 congress the unconditional repeal | of the present and the only law | silver has to sustain it, without l any other in it's stead. In l thls he IS not only thWartei by l men of his own political faith, but ! also by all classes of western pro | tucers and manufacturers. Sine, it | IS definitely settled as to how Pres ,dent Cleveland stands on this financial question and speculation over his future course is at an end, .t will occur to the people oi an Im. partial belief that he favors mo nopolies more than the republican party ever did, aud the worst char lcter of monopolies at that. There s to-day a unity of feeling on the 'Ilver question of the nation by all 'lasses m the west, and there Is also determination on their part 10 break up the soulless combines that would rob them of even a common ,xlstence What will bs the po- itlcal outcome of the present dis .usSlon, and is 1t not q reasonable ,elief to entertain that hereafter he only hope of the west lies in an liiance, as an independent com nunity, with any government that 'lll sustain 1t and at the same time rush 6 desires of any monop ply IT any party that would make a | rec American people nothing moro han common beggars.

ARIz0NA's ADMISSION.

Just on the eve of the brighten
 ing of bett 1T day for the political
 Jugglers of Arizona, and particu-
 larly that grasping set of the south
 ern part, the fond dreams of our
 territory's admissioninto statehood
 have again sustained the usual set
 back, through a combination of
 circumstances that only can be ac-
 counted for by fate. Recognizing
 that issues were to come before tue
 senate during the extra session of
 Tar moro importance to the nation than to the people of Arizona. the commission to visit the land of
 sunshine and silver was mostly composed of cold and insincere gold bugs, and in consequence their tour of investigation was postponed. In reality, this declination on their part to fulfill a duty which was de manded of them by congress and expected by he people of Arizona. was nothing else thana deterUina- tion to keep the territory stined m its influence by a vote in congress on any question that might arise affecting western legislation, and particularly that of silver. Since the discussion of the monetary question has opened. the commar- cial channels between the two sec- tions of our republic have been widened still further. and for the present at least there is no hone that they will again be cemented. | To admit Arizona with her two senators to still further strengthen and fight for the cause of restoripr the white metal. would be the | rankest kind of folly to expect of | m anti-silver President, not to men | ion the open hostility of several | who are on record as | against us, but at the same time m avor of free coinage.
 While Arizona is divided to some 'xtent in assuming the responsibiH. Y of state government, and Is mainly backed up in her effort to "a admitted by a lot of frantic politicians, the fact of representa- lon fguers, however, and especial y at the present time when grave .uestions affecting her principal | industry are to be considered. tn | CT present conditions we are DOW rleSs, and the only aid We can ex- end Is that of sentiment.

CLEVELAND's MASSAGE.

The following extract is takcr
 from the message of the president
 and clearly defines his position on
 the two metals:
 It was my purpose to summon l Congress m special session early iu
 the coming September, that We ] might enter promptly upon the
 the work of tariff reform, which the
 true interests of the country clearly demand, and which SO large a ma. Jorlty of the people. as shown by their sutfrages, desire and expeci and to the accomplishment of which every effort of the present administration is pledged. But while tariff reform has lost nothing or its immediate and permanent inn portance, and must in the near future engage the attention of Con gress, It has seemed to me that the condition of the country should at once, and before all other | subjects, be considered by your l honorable body. It is earnestly re- commended that the prompt repeal | )f the provisions Of the act passed | July If, 1890, authorizing the pur- ,hase of silver bullion, be made. md that other legislative action nay put beyond all doubt or mis- ake the intention and ability of the Government to fulfill it's pccuniary 'bligatlons m a money universally ecognized by all civilized countries.

Col. Ed. McConville, superintend-
ent of the Indian schools at Lapwai
reports that he has 175 pupils now
under his charge and expects to
have 200 this summer. In October,
1890, when he took charge, there
were only 100. There are 800 chill
dren of school age on the reserve,
and the government is erecting q
handsome two-story building at a
cost of 81 ,000,t provide additional
Accommodations. The department. in
tends to make this school the equal
of that at Carlisle, Pa, and to that
end a manual training school will
be added to teach the pupils the
art of making buggies, wagons, ,har-
ness, boots and shoes, sewing, en-
broidery, etc. The pupils are ma
king fine progress and take great

4 Desirable NetC Citizen,

Mr.. Fred Tamm arrived from
Iowa last week and took possession
of the j. N. Rice ranch on Three
Mile, north of town, which he pur-
chased last fall. 1t was Il cash
trade and the entire purchase price
of $4,000 for 800 acres was all paid.
Mr.. Tamm is buying horses, cattle
and hogs, and intends living on the
ranch and farming it to the full ex-
tent of its productive capacity.
Such men are welcome acquisitions
to Camas Prairie. A neighbor of
Mr. Tamm's had agreed to buy Jas.
Wits ranch at the same time, but
his wife did not want to leave Iowa
and so the trade is declared off.

W1GON ROAD BILL,
Coz. Mcconnell States the Con-
siderafi0ns Which Hnpelled
Him to Sim It,

Gov. Mcconnell finally approved
the State wagon road bill and gave
his reasons for so doing to the legis-
lature in the following words. 1t
will be seen that he explicitly ac-
knowledges the necessity of build
ing the Salmon river and Elk City
extensions, for which we than k
him. Here is part of the message:
The wisdom of constructing a
portion of this wagon road can not
be doubted. That division down
Salmon river, and the division to
Elk City, together with the divis-
ion through Boise county and east
ward fully justify the expense to
the state incurred in their con-
struction, while l think some other
divisions of the road will prove of
little value, as l doubt whether
the counties in which they are con-
structed can afford to maintain
them after they are built.
l am impelled to sign this bill in
consideration of the land interests
of the state, and by that consider
alton alone. / believe that $4,000
of the amount carried by this bill
has been appropriated for the con-
struction of roads that will be of
little value. In the congressional
act providing for the admission of
the state of Idaho, we received the
very liberal donation Of $4,000
acres of land in addition to the
land heretofore granted to the terri
tory, which, at the price fixed by
congress $40 per acre-will a
mount to S5,9OO,OOO. But little of
this land has been selected by the
state in consequence of the failure
on the part of congress to appropri-
ate money for surveys. The last
session, however made a liberal
appropriation, and contracts are
let for surveying large tracts Of
land in the mountain and timber
districts. All, or nearly all, the
valley and open lands of any value
have already been selected by pri-
vate citizens under the various acts
of congress, and there is but little
left for the state from which to
make it's selections, other than the
lands chiefly valuable for their tim
ber which are in the interior and
mountainous districts of the state.
Ky tho ,,,.:iaing OF tins system OF
wagon roads, these lands may be
made available; consequently, while
l think the bill has been carelessly
considered, and is unwise in some
of its provisions, l am also satisfied
that further appropriations will be
asked of future legislatures to COM
plete the work-notably that di-
vision down Salmon river-I be-
leive that as the timber lands are
being rapidly taken up, that it
would be dangerous to delay an
other two years, and that in the
interest of our land grant the state
would be justified in expcnding
this money. have for the reas-
ons stated signed this bill. Very
respectfully, W.J.McCoNNELL,
Governor.
