Strong Points in Short Paragraphs

Rochester Democrat: The first Demo
cratic President was called "Old Hick-
ory." How would Slippery Elm" do
as title for the last one?
A Democratic exchange says that "the
Republican smut mills are running and
are very smutty." Certainly. What can
one expect with such Il grist as the Dem
ocrats are furnishing?
Madison Journal: Why didn't the
over that $4,000 900 tha arm Atf InDtiefe
O'Connor is about to recover from the
general government? We trust there is
no mistake about the matter.
Gov. Mckinley says that during the
eighteen months that the Democratic
President and Democratic Congress have
been running the government nothing else
taken. About 100000 idle workmen
have been running about trying to find
employment.
Farmers will soon begin to miss the
reciprocity treaties. In 1893 Cuba bought
from us 100000 worth of provisions
and breadstuffs alone, these goods being
admitted free into Cuba from the United
States. But now that we are taxing
Cuban sugar, they will tax our farm
products, buy more from other countries
and less from us.
The total revenue of the United States
fell off by $SS,O9660O during 1894. as
compared with 1893 The total expen-
ditures decreased by only $15, 952, 675.
Thus this year of Il Democratic admin
istration resulted in the country getting
more than $72,000.000 into debt. A bust
ness man, manufacturer, a wage Garner
who spent nearly % per cent. more than
his income would very soon become a
bankrupt. This is the style of Democrat.

STRIKE LEADS TO A RIOT.

Electric Workers at Chicago Alta cke d
by Mob of Builders.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 13.-The $50 men
at work on the new Marquette building
at Dearborn and Adams streets went
on strike today, and a riot was narrowly
averred. Eighteen non-union Edison COM
pany electric workers who were the cause
of the strike were attacked and forced
to flee to avoid bloodshed. The Building
Trades council had notified the contrac-
tor to discharge the men, and upon his
refusal the strike followed. The men
were in an ugly mood, but the flight of
of the police quoted the disturbance.

YOUNG LAKE SHOT OWENS.
Milwaukeean Admits that He Killed the

Chicago, III, Sept. 14-From informa.
ton received yesterday through the West
Chicago avenue police station it appears
that William Lake, the young Milwaukee
casket- trimmer, killed Detective Owens
in the hold-up on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul road. Griswold, on the day be
was captured, confessed that he was
guilty of that crime This confession
the police say, was only a bit of bragga-
docio on his part, and that Lake, who
was told on the train by the brakeman
that Owens was a detective, did the
shooting and has at last admitted it.

And like Il silver clarion rung

Thy weary head upon this breast.'
A tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered with sigh:

''Beware the storm that sweeps your ranch!
Beware that awful avalanche!"
This was the Demosratiu last good night

A Protest from the Wool Growers.

The protest of the Ohio wool-grovers
against the ruin of that great Industry
by the Democratic tariff law will be ech-
Oed throughout the West and the South
west. Even the WoOl-growers of Texas
are repudiating the men who BETRAYED
the interests of their constituents in ser
vile obedience to Cleveland dictation, and
those of Ohio are voicing the general SEN
timent of the North ii denOuncing the
work of the infamous Congress. The
New York Press, speaking of the situa-
ton of the wool-growers. says: AS
pointed out in the address issued by the
Ohio Wool Growers association, the
threat of free wool has reduced the value
of 43,000,0OO Of American sheep nearly
S10000,000 and reduced the price of the
wool clip of 1894 more than $30,000,0O0
below the normal price under adequate
protection. AS a permanent policy free
wool would drive million of wool-grow
ers from sheep husbandry into increased
production of hay, wheat corn, oats, cot
ton and other products, destroy our sheep
and reduce the demand they would make
for food and thus add to existing over
production and low prices the ruin Of
still further overproduction. This would
take from all farmers large measure
OF their just income and render them I'M
able TO patrOnize merchants, grocers, me-
chancs, schools and churches. Free wool
IS blow at civilization and progress.
Immense imports of low-priced wool
would supplant to a large extent the use
of cotton and thus bring disaster to the
planters of the South This picture is
not overdrawn, neither is the statement
exaggerated that with full and adequate
protection the wool industry would soon
increase our 45.000,000 sheep to a re-
quired 10, 100000, furnishing 650,000000
pounds Of wool, or all TINT American man
ufactures would need. This would save
al annual export of gold of 100000
or more to buy foreign wool from coun-
tries which take substantially nothing
from US in return but gold
Republicans of the East are just as
earnest and strenuous in urging protection

How Democratic Paper Interprets the
Vermont Election.

The New York Evening Post tells it's
party friends how the great Republican
majority was secured in Vermont. 1t is
a very honest confession for Democratic
journal The Vermont election affords
the first real test of public sentiment as
between the two great parties since the
issues were made up this year, the con-
tests in Alabama and Arkansas having
been so complicated with the question of
populiSm, and the Republican party in
each state being so weak, that the Demo
cratic victories signifed nothing as to
the popular feeling throughout tn coun-
try Vermont, on the other hand, one
sided as it has always been politically
shows by the rising or falling of the Re
publican majority the drift of the tide
throughout the North. Thus. IN the Sep
TENDER election of 1884 the falling-off in
the usual majority fOreShadowed the de-
feat of Blaine: in 1888 n large majority
preceded the election of Harrison; and in
1892 an unprecedentedly small majority
showed the influence of that already ris-
ing tidal wave which two months later
swept Illinois, Wisconsin and other for
mer Republican states from their moor
ings, and left even Ohio in doubt for
nearly week. In like manner four
years ago this month, at the correspond
ing election midway OF a presidential
term, the small Republican majority of
IA. 600 gave the first Indication of that
great revolt against McKinleyism which
buried the party IN the congressional
elections of November. 1t therefore
means something that yesterday there
was a Republican majority of $4,000 to
10000 in the state, that some of the
larger places gave greater Republican ma
jorities than were ever before known since
the organization of the party. and that
the Democratic representation in the Leg
islature is cut down to the smallest fig
ureS for many years.
Disgust with the record of the Demo-
cratic party-that is what the result in
Vermont means 1t is a disgust so Dro-
found that many Democrats would not
take the trouble to go to the polls, their
vote falling off about a quarter as COM
pared with the corresponding election of
1890. The Democrats of the Green
Mountain state are as 'indOmitable' as
are to be found anywhere. but even they
have become wearied with the shutting
performances of their party since it came
into full possession of the federal govern
ment There is every reason to expect a
similar manifestation of public sentiment

LIBEL MADE SAFE.

The new quarters of TIE OASIS at Nogales. give remarkable facilities fol evading the laws against libel and islander. The front door of the prem ises is in the territory of Arizona, while the back gate is in the state of Sonora: so in case of any libelous or slanderous article appearing in these columns, the publication office of the paper all depends upon which side of the line is the residence of the party llbeled. If he lives in the United States the publication office is in Mex ico: and if he is a resident of Mexico, why. of course, the publication office must be in the United States; and in either event the law cannot cross the international boundary line to punish for libel IL tered in foreign land.

Fresh from the press it can be taken out the back way. mailed in Mexico. and sent across tine line in the regular course Of pl,ta hi,insss: and the judge can snap his fingers at Arizona courts and jurors.

HAIL, ALL HALL

In saluting the people of Nogales and the border land on both sides of the international boundary TnE OASIS needs no introduction. The paper and it's work are too well known to the public into whose service it now en- ters to require more than passing men, tion. The advantages and opportuni- ties of the new place of publication are great and so valuable that con tinual and continuous mention cannot approach the possibilities of descrip- tion. To fill those possibilities and give the town an organ and exponent worthy of it's present standing and future prospects is the object of the move now accomplished. In other words THE OASIS has come to Nogalcs to stay. In other fields not half so promising it has done excellent work and scored financial success. In this large and rapidly developing field it proposes to become one of the great newspapers of Arizona. There are both the present and prospective sup port to justify such expectancy, and this journal intends to realize it.
 At the present time it is unnecessa- " to present the bewildering array of natural lines along which to develop greatness that are at the command of Nogales, but in due time, and at all seasons, they will be presented for public consideration and profit with all the clearness and force of long practice in work of that kind

"M IssED THE MARK"

In the last issue at Benson TIE OASIS took short article from the Star upon the "Cochise county mud de, and it's results in the recent cleo. tion, as a hook on which to hang an innocent expression of wonder that the Star should-although indirectly east so serious a reflection on Hon. William Kidder Meade, the present United States marshal of Arizona, when it is well known fact that that very estimable gentleman, by time ly point of order, prevented the dem ocratic territorial committee adopting a resolution avowedly intended to wreck the administration of Governor Hughes owner of the Star. Thereat the Star proceeded to read TIE OASIS lecture on journalistic ethics for making personal application of it's own impersonal article.
 THE OASIS may possibly have failed to reach the high standard of ethics attained and maintained by the Star: but it is the province of this paper to draw aside the curtain hiding the family skeleton in the democratic clos ct, whenever a democratic organ, like the Star, gives an opportunity, as in this instance, by raising a corner.
 Taking advantage of the matter thus presented the Star, in the same article, proceeded to educate THE OASIS, and incidently the people of Arizona, in the part it has performed in discovery and development of the political conspicuousness of William Kidder Meade, in which, it would seem to the unbiased observer, more is asserted than can be proved by the facts. According to those assertions the Star found William Kidder Meade. "a young and struggling miner with pick and shovel in Tombstone many years ago. and believing he had some merit, lifted him into public life" Why the Star devoted so much space to this proposition is past finding out. But is it facLy Tombstone was lo- cated In, or thereabout, 1879. There fore the Star if it found Meade, as al- leged must done so after tlle town was located.
