.-,l.,'-,--','-l7.,.'''''-,--.----.-.. THE SOLID SOUTH.

The Richmond lVirginia) Times is a solid Democratic organ, and, in dIs- cussing the question of tariff reform and free raw materials, has this to
 say;
 There was not one democrat who voted in 1890 and 1892 in the twenty five that intended in those elections to declare that he was in favor of free raw materials. We insist that there was not one democrat in twenty-five who knew, in those elections, what was intended by the doctrine of free rev materials We never gave the subject moments thought ourselves, and we have never yet met with vot- CT who said that he had All voters whom we have questioned on the sub- ject'haye said that they were voting for tariff reform, and the idea that this was to be accomplished by admit ting some imports free and imposing duties upon others never presented it. self to their minds.
 There is no doubt that the Cleve- land, free trade, wing of the party concealed their real intention in the elections of 1890 and 1892. Had the country really believed they intended prostrating home industries as they have done they would have never been entrusted with power.

 The foregoing is but one instance of the many that are coming out in this investigation now taking place. To read all the testimony in the matter makes the blood run cold Andin the same papers conveying this intelli- gence we read that Miss Pullman will marry absolute Austrian prince, who owes milllon-gambled away and is being held up by syndicate of Jew money lenders until he can mar ry the rich American heiress. It will take a million of Papa Pullman's money to buy the squat little toad he is uglier than Caliban-and his ti- tie; and about ss00,0 per annum af- terward to support them. These luxuries come high, but our American aristocracy must have them. And then Papa Pullman can recoup the sum by turning the screws on his poor operatlyes-and we poor fools in Ari- zona, who, when travelling, pay treble prices for sleeping car berths, contri- bute our mites toward giving the mil lionaire's daughter her princely bau- ble.

EVERY qualified voter of Cochise county should bear in mind that he owes the county duty ia registering, as much is dependent upon full reg istration. Not only is the exercise of the franchise by the individual voters dependent, but also the standing of the county. If the registration falls below 1900 the county will fall into the second class. There are sufficient voters to hold the registration up to the number necessary for the first class. But they seem apathetic, and as yet only about 500 have registered. Voters should be attending to this.

AN IMPOSITION AND swINDLE.

One of the most glaring impositions
 upon the public is the news service of
 the associated press to daily newspa-
 pers outside of the cities where the re-
 ports are gcollated and distributed.
 This colossal news gathering organiza-
 tion is controlled in a great measure
 by the metropolitan dailies, and it's
 service is carefully adjusted so the
 news sent to interior journals shall in
 no way interfere with the circulation of the great dailies controlling the ser
 vice. The Tucson and Phoenix papers,
 for instance, pay large sums monthly
 for the associated press service, and
 they are entitled to have fresh reports of such news as is sent. Of course 1t is not expected that they shall be so full, because the same amount or money cannot be paid for such service by a daily published in a city of six to ten thousand people that cansbe paid by one published in city of one hun dred thousand or more; but what IS sent should be late. Yet persistently and systematically important news IS held back from the interior pr0s, and simultaneously with it's appearance in the local journals the San Francisco and Los Angeles papers reach the great bulk of their subscribers with fuller and far more interesting ac- counts of the same occurrences. So glaring is this imposition that the Globe Democrat has been known to reach Arizona points all the way from St. Louis, with important;.news the same day that Tucson papers'with the same information reached the same points.
 The assertion is frequently made that these delayed telegrams are sim ply copied from the metropolitan dailies by the Arizona dailies; but this the writer knows to be untrue. He has had wide experience as an editor and publisher of daily newspapers in California, and there he found him. self subjected to the same impositions, On one occasion there was sent his paper by wire long repsrt describ- ing an occurrence in San Diego, and when it came there had been lying on his exchange table several hours CO., py of the San Diego paper with far fuller and more accurate account. Yet the associated press endeavored to ex- act and collect three dollars for that telegram. There was "roar" sent over the wire that caused remission of the charge. And the only way that 1t was possible to keep from being inn posed upon all the time was to keep close watch of the telegraph columns 1f the San Francisco papers, and whenever anything appeared in our own that had been plainly held back lay, to register at the telegraph office ! vigorous and decided "kick."
 And to "kick" is just what the Ari- ,ona dailies should do. They are pay
 ing goodly sums of money for tele- graphic service, and they are entitled to a reports that are worth value rem lered. They are not getting that kind )f a service and they should make united kick until they do.

( errors. it IS apparent that there Is a
wide variety Of political opinions en-
tertained by the delegates, and that it
would be very hard 10 use the congress
for partisan purposes. The congress IS
strictly non-partisan and is in no sense
a political organization. The political
aspect Of economic and social problems
cannot be avoided-it is not sought TO
avoid ii: but the discussion Of these
questions Is never allowed to sink 70
the level of partisan politics. The con
grcss has no political platform and
does not seek to form political party.
It's delegates come, rot as politicians,
but as farmers. This is one reason why
the farmers national congress IS not
so well known as the alliance or the

never gained notoriety by advocating
extreme class legislation. However,
no other organization Of farmers has
so much influence with legislative
bodies.
The delegates composing the con-
