 ished and the insane cared for at the expense of violating the law which limits the indebtedness of the terri tory, or the courts must close, the jails, penitentiary and insane asylum must be thrown open and their in- mates set at large, or the cause of this extraordinary expense must be re- moved.
 This subject appeals more em- phatically to the federal government for solution than did the vexed ques- ton of polygamy in the Territory of Utah, because the traffic gives forth tenfold more evil and more lasting results. It is ,a greater evil, entails an hundredfold more hardships on its victims and wrongs on the people than did the bondage of the black man in the south, yet the extension of slavery into the territories was made a na- tional issue, and its final abolition &C., complished only at the expense of the best blood of the land.
 INDIANS AND WHISKY.
 ''I would also call attention to the policy which is being pursued of with drawing the federal troops from Ari- zona, and leaving with us more than 35,000 Indians and legalized liquor traffic. This becomes significant when it is known that during the last thirty years there has not been single Apache Indian outbreak in Arizona which has not been the direct result of intoxicating drink and if the troops are removed there will be nothing to prevent the traffic in whisky on this reservation, while it is legalized in the territory. If the government with draws the troops it should also pro- tect these Indians from strong drink, thus insuring the people immunity from Indian outbreaks, consequent and wanton destruction of property. While it is not in the power of the federal government to legislate against the traffic in the states. in the territories it has the power to say, Thus far shalt thou come aud no further"
 There is food for thought here for all who have the welfare of Ari- zsna at heart, for this report, coming as it does from the chief executive of the territory, ought to be convincing to those who fail to appreciate the moral importance of such action as is in the report, that the business interests and the future pros perity of our territory are largely con cerned in this question.

LIMITATION OF INDEBTEDNESS.


 "Here arises an important consid- oratiOn which demands attention. The federal law known as the Harrison act of 1889 limits the indebtedness of all territories to one per centum upon the assessed value of the taxable property in such territory. and to four per centum on the valuation of all taxable property in all political or municipal corporations, counties and subdivisions, said valuation to be ascertained by the last assessment for territorial and county taxes previous to the mourning of such indebtedness. In 1890, the territory had far exceeded the limit fixed by the Harrison act, and to rem edy this federal legislation was in- vOked, resulting in the enactment of the Arizona funding bill, which legal. ized all indebtedness incurred, toe gether with such evidence of indebted ness which might be issued for the necessary expenses, and carrying on territorial, county, municipal and school government, for the year end ing December 3l, 1890. And this law specially declares that thereafter (Dc- cember 3l, 1S90) no warrants, cer- tificates or other evidences of indebt- edness shall be allowed to issue or be legal when the same is in excess of the limit prescribed by the Harrison act.
 Notwithstanding the above prohi- bition, several counties have exceeded the limit, and the territory, on the 1st of June last, had floating indebted ness of $170,523 60, issued in direct violation of the law. This deficit, however, was legalized by congress last August by passing an amendment to the funding act, extending it's pro visions to January 1, 1896.
 "When we inquire into the source of expense of administering the govern ment, both county and territorial, we find that tue greater proportion comes from our criminal courts, jails, peni- tcntiary and insane asylum most of the inmates of which arc the victims of strong drink. Here we are brought face to face with the fact that the federal law places limit on the in- dcbtedness which can be legally in. cured by the territories, and then legalizeS a traffic that gives as it's le- gitiWats fruits crime, pauperism and insanity. thus entailing an expense greater than can be legally incillred.

They don't go at corn here much like an
Iowa farmer does. They husk it and
pile 1t up and when it quits raining shell

el per bushel (2O0tbs). The soil is very
poor. A great deal of the land needs
fertalizing the first year. The reason
the soil is SO poor is that the heavy rains
wash everything that is loose into the
sea and the grass has no show to lay on
the land and enrich it. It is like taking
crop off every year.

Champion Walkers.

Young Mr.. Lloyd Coils of Columbia
college, himself champion in the inter-
collegiate walking matches Of 1891, has
contributed to The University Magazine
some interesting information on his fa-
vorite form Of athletics. He reminds US
that the champion college walker actu-
ally gets over the ground at a speed faster
than horses are allowed to be driven in
city parks. Borcherling, the present
walking champion Of the colleges, made
his mile in minutes 90 4-5 seconds.
Coils says that those who think that
walking matches are easier than running
races are much mistaken. Only iron en-
durance will carry the contestant
through. It is not uncommon for man
to finish the last quarter mile Of race
with everything blurred before him and
be unable to speak for half an hour. In
one race Coils himself collapsed less
than 30 feet from the finish and had to
be carried from the track, thus losing
second place.
Ten weeks should not be exceeded in
training for walking match. The length
Of fast walking stride is from 88 to 80
inches. It is secured by means Of what
Is known as the ship motion, which Mr..
Collis describes as the Throwing for
ward Of the hip of the striding limb"
This could be practiced with advantage
by walkers who are not training for a
race. Coils thinks walking is the most
exhausting Of all physical exercises and
at the same most beneficial.

Of both metals, and the parity between
the two, at the ratio established by law
was always maintained. Under this Law
establishing free coinage of gold and sill
yer, the government did not purchase
the bullion or metal but simply trans
formed it into standard money for ths
owner.
''To return to bimetallism, the Law
| should be restored as it exist previous
to the change in 1873, and this is all the
friends of silver demand. No expert
menting is wanted, no new scheme is
proposed, but simply return to the sys
tenn SO successfully maintained for more
than 80 years.
"Continued and persistent opposition
to a restoration of bimetaIlism in forcing
upon the country those two laws, known
as the Bland-Allison act of 1878 and the
Sherman law of 1890
"These tentative measures were indeed
miserable makeshifts, and accomplished
further degradation Of silver, and while
undoubtedly they did some good in main
tanning and increasing the volume OF
circulating medium, they aided in lower
ing silver from it's high position hitherto
held as money to that of mere commo-
dity. Since the closing of the mints
against silver in 1878, the parity of the
two metals has been in great measure
destroyed, and whether separation is ow-
ing to rise in gold and it's increased
purchasing power.
''The gigantic credit fabric of the world
depending SO largely upon gold has in
creased it's value to such an extent that
more and more property and the pro-
ducts of labor are required to obtain it.
"Bimetallists insist that the business
OF tie world cannot be accomplished by
gold alone, without almost enslaving the
people, and placing them at the mercy
of few money lenders. They claim
that the debts Of the world were created
mostly when both silver and gold were
equal in debt paying power, and to now
change the contract to gold alone, un-
justly compels the debtor to pay nearly
double the amount denominated in the
bond BimetalIists also claim that the
present depression in trade and values, is
caused largely by forcing gold mono
metallism upon SO many nations of the
world and surely the tariff agitation in
the United States cannot be accountable
for the 5sxtreme hard times in England.
Italy, Germany, Austria and other coun-
tries suffering equally as much or more
than our own.
"Bimetallism furnishes more steady
and unvariable standard of value: it
broadens and Strengthens the founda-
t1ons for the immense issue of paper or
credit money; it keeps the control of our
money system out of the hands Of few
designing and selfish capitalists and
maintains it in the hands of the people
"Gold is the favorite money of the rich,
and silver the money of the people at
large; both are necessary for the welfare
Of all, and bimetallists are friends equal
ly of each, and at present are defending
silver solely because it is the one at
tackled and upon which the war is being
urged"

CAT HOME RECEPTIONS.

At this season OF the year small at
homes are far more numerous than
afternoon receptions. In reality many
ht homes amount TO little more than at
home days. Later on large Afternoon
parties tako their place: but, as yet
these are comparatively few. Society
has originated nothing more useful than
afternoon at homes as reallyiug centres
Tor friends ana acquaintances, for II
meeting depends upon chance calling
they would be singularly rare. The
one idea during the afternoon hours is
not TO be at home, and to make use Of
the daylight for everything rather
than for remaining within doors. Thus
these useful institutions. At home
and at home days, are n valuable
auxiliary In social life. Even men are
taking far more kindly TO them than
formerly. At one time IL was consid-
cred rather deroEatory To masculine
dignity TO be seen at these feminine
brushes, and IL is not to much too say that
