Tho Angry Pugilist Talks Back to His
Tormentors.


PORTLAND, Me-. Sept. 2S.-Pugillst
Corbett was indignant today when
shown statement by John L. Sulll-
van, accusing him of beating about the
bush. Corbelt said in substance:
"These people do not cut any ice
with me. Sullivan always has more
mouth than courage. He is gutter
from the word go and do not want
anything to do with him. He is out
of 1t. But there is one thing, il / ever
meet Fitzsimmons in the ring, he will
make better fight than Sullivan did
with me. Or course Jake Kilrain,
Sullivan and jackson are sore, and
know it, but that does not make any
difference with me. The Olympic
Club does not want the fight. They
want to make money out of me. l am
not inclined to let them until | have
proof that Fitzsimmons is somew here
i n my class, and this he can demon
strate by knocking out O'Donnell. l
am making good money now. and am
not taking any risks 10 please sore
heads"
Corbett became excited and plainly
showed that he is deeply touched by
the various stories circulated.

Arizona weekly citizen. [volume] (Tucson, Ariz) 1880-1901, 1894-07-14

In the general labor tie up that now
affects the country we had hoped that
Tucson from its very isolation would
escape the contagion, but it appears
otherwise, for yesterday the shops closed
down for lack of men to keep them 60
ing. For the very life Of us We cannot
realize where the good can come in
through such hasty action. Any SYM
patty expressed in Tucson will not put
bread into the mouths of the starving
thousands in Chicago or Pullman, nor
will it result in the betterment of their
own condition. They we're not, so far as
we can learn, brought into conflict with
the issues confronted by their brethren
in the east and therefore could have no
immediate cause for joining them mere
ly through sympathy with distant in
terest. So far as we can learn they have
no complaint against the Southern Pa
cific railroad or Its management, either
local or general, but on the contrary the
very best of feeling existed between the
employed and their employers. OF
course so far as the railroad is concern
ed in the present paralized condition OF
business, it has little or nothing to lose
by such action, but the men have and
the town has. Instead Of the pay car
in its monthly pilgrimages along the
line of road disbursiug $4,000 or 10000
dollars per month as many hundreds
will suffice for tie pay roll.
This country suffered enough
through the blighting policy of the
present democratic administration,
without stopping the wheels that would
turn il allowed to and, added to the
present labor troubles, we are IN
done. We sincerely hope that better
judgement will prevail and that the men
one and all will return to work if per-
mitted to do so. The writer overheard
in conversation yesterday railroad
man say that 'the Southern Pacific is q
white company TO work for and that
they had no grievance against it." This
being an admitted fact we fail to see
the justice of destroying its property in
terests by strikes or otherwise.

THE LEAGUE AND THE CAM
PAIGT.

THE national republican league, which
has just held its annual meeting at Den
yer enters upon its new year under IA
vorable auspices and with large oppor-
tunity for usefulness. 1t cannot be ac-
cused of attempting to dictate the policy
OF the republican party, nor yet of sub
ordinatlng its machinery to personal
ambition. 1t has steadily adhered to
its original and distinctive purpose TO
promote the election of republican can
didates after they have been nominated,
without any attempt to influence nomi-
nations or frame platforms. Any de-
parture, however slight, from good faith
in either OF these two regards would be
demoralizing to the league and seriously
endanger lis usefulness. Once let it be
so much as suspected of being a ma
chine in the political interest of any in
dividual and it is lost. Its disintered-
ness must be above suspicion.
In few weeks Illinois will present a
fine field for league activity. The re-
publican state convention will meet
July %. The democrats have already
met. No sooner will the nominations
and platforms of the two parties have
been made than the way will be open
for campaign Of enlightnment and or
ganization. In every senatorial district
the influence of the republican league
should be felt, working with unfaltering
energy and unselfish patriotism for the
entire republican ticket.
The organization of the league should
be 10y senatorial districts, rather than
by countries or congressional districts
and there should be no Partially shown
in the cordIality of support given to the
nominees. There are fifty-one districts,
fifteen in Cook county and thirty six
In the one hundred counties outside of
Cook. If the league in this state
wishes to justify its existence and earn
the gratitude of the party it should set
about its campaign work early in
August and keep it up to the end. 1t
can be highly useful auxiliary to the
state central committee. But it must
take good care not to queer" itself in
advance of the adjournment of the state
convention.-Inter Ocean.

WE have upon several occasions call
ed attention TO the new bridge over
Stevens avenue. The bridge is now
completed, the approaches filled up and
travel under full Roadway across it.
There is nothing handsome about the
structure but it is strong and has been
well and substantially built. 1t was de-
signated by NJ. j. Sullivan and built
under the immediate supervision of Mr..
r. Wetherill. The total cost of the
bridge by contract is $1,000, but OF this
money the county paid but $500, the re-
naming $500 having been paid by our
liberal minded citizens who have long
recognized the necessity OF a public
crossing at that place. The next thing
in order will be to put the avenue in
proper repair. 1t is important that this
should be done.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

AS some of our readers are interested
in gold balances add treasury accumula-
tons We reproduce the following leader
from Bradstreet.
The president pointed out that when
the last bonds were issued to replenish
the governments stock of gold it was
nearly as low as it is now, and whereas,
while outside of its gold the government
had no then available money to pay
ordinary expenses of government except
about 100000, it has now, in addition
to the gold and in money applicable to
government expenses, more than $685.
100000. Mr.. Cleveland said that the
charge which he understood was made
in certain quarters that the payment
of matured obligations was postponed to
the amount of s50,OOO,0O0 or s75,0O0,OOO
was unfounded, and that the govern
lnent was paying as It went in the usual
way. Last gear up to June L, according
to Mr.. Cleveland, the balance against US
arising from the export and import of
merchandise, including gold and silver,
was s64, 552, GAG, whereas the balance in
our favor from the same period this year
was s62 $50, 562, representing a change
in our favor of s127, 512 56S. These con
ditions, be added, taken in connection
with the willingness of our banks TO
help the treasury during any temporary
and unusual drain of gold, ought to
satisfy the most conservative of our
safety, and finally it must not be forgot
ten as another favorable feature in the
situation that we are no longer purchas-
ing silver and issuing gold obligations In
payment therefor. The presidents out
giving is regarded in financial circles
generally as both satisfactory and time
ly." With gold bugs of course it is.

A FULL line of Phoenix papers turned

A FULL line of Phoenix papers turned
up smiling yesterday morning. They
bore dates all the way from June q to
July s. Although shut off from the
outer world the good people of Phoenix
have had enough of interest transporting
to keep them out of mischief. The
"pops' had convention and resoluted
water in the bitches, but this miracu-
lous mirage was hidden beneath the ex-
element of a school election. The
weather although hot enough to burst
the bulb of an indicator was cool as a
"berg" by comparison. The feminine
portion of the community went ratified
On the subject of voting. They not only
drove teams and electioneered for their
men, ''sassed" the judges, shed tears and
made faces to the opposition, but they
went through the bonds of friendship
at bound and now they don't speak as
they pass by. AS both candidates could
not be elected, the friends of the defeat
ed aspirant will never, never forgive his
successful opponent for being SO real
mean.

The democracy are soft on mug
wumps. Some of the highest offices
within the gift of the government are
held by renegade republicans. Illinois
has been so represented In the senate
for the past several years and now an
effort is to be made to continue a mug
wump in his place. Several years ago
franklin McVeagh, the Chicago million
aire, gave his adhesion to Cleveland and
now Cleveland's party propose reward
ing him with the senatorship to succeed
Palmer, if possible. Any renegade repu-

FOR APRsSENGER TRAIN.
a Crew Leaves for Yuma to Come in
on Time.

Il CTeW Leaves TOT L una 10 SOue IN
on Time.
The Tucson shops have closed down.
Yesterday fourteen machinists went out,
saying little, but probably in sympathy
with the A. r. U. atrike. Later in the
day orders came for the shutting down
of the shops. Seventy-fve more men
are therefore out Of employment in
Tucson today. The Tucson shops are
understood to be the last on the South
ern Pacific system to have closed down.
CRITICAL TIMES NOW.
Last night Engineer Harry Oliver and
Conductor Jack Taylor and crew "ran
light" to Yuma, to bring in passenger
train from the west. 1t is understood
that the various railroad orders held
meetings yesterday, and sanctioned the
action OF the men in going to Yuma. 1t
is intended that the passenger train
shall be brought in, on time tonight.
Whether the train will include Pullman,
which IT probable will,-whether it
will be taken on eastward from Tucson,
are all questions ofgrave interest. The
train may come in without hitch, but
according to some railroad men it is
somewhat doubtful.
More mail came in from the east last
night, in the shape of PAYERS. Not a
letter from beyond local points got in
however. The groan Of "How Long o
Lord with regard to letters rises from
many heart in Tucson.
In the business world the telegraph
has superseded the mails, and is now
called into requisitlon in many matters
where the wires were never thought of
in the days agone of daily mails.
Today one local train went out, going
eastward this afternoon.

scarce in that vicinity it would cost too
