A SHIP CANAL WOULD PAY.-The
provisional committee appointed at
Pi,tsburg, Pa, to devise ways and
means in the construction Of the Lake
Erie ship canal between the Ohio river
and the lakes met yesterday. Colonel
T. p. Roberts, engineer of the Ohio
River Navigation Company, asserted
that the water supply tributary to the
canal is four times greater than needed,
and can be reached at a cost of 5000 .
900. The cost of the canal would not
exceed S25,000,000. 1t would have q
capacity of $500 900 tons per anuum.
double the present tonnage Of the rail
roads covering the same territory.
John E. Shaw estimated that the com
mercial interests and population of the
territory through which the canal is to
PISS would double, and the railroads
would really be benefciaries of the i'm
provement. An executive committee
was appointed to prepare a stetement
for the public. The provisional COM
mittee will meet again September 4.

wEDNE Day EVENING. AUG. %, 1894

DURING the summer and early fall
the winds usually blow from the South.
OF course they bear off and bring with
them all the eftluvia in their way. Be-
tween Alexandria and Hunting creek,
just beyond the city's southern border
and within her police jurisdiction, there
is a disagreeable and dangerous null
sance in the shape of O. large collection
of hog pens, the noisome emanationS
from which, as regularly as the evening
breezes blow, are waited through the
entire city, to the great danger of the
health of all its inhabitants, and to the
great discomfort of those who live in
its southern section. Is there another
city in the civilized world in which a
similar outrage would be permitted?

If IT BE the Presidents intention to
sign the German tariff bill, and thereby
be party to that measure of "peridy

Had he done so, he would have saved
the government many million dollars,

Albert Daudey, a militant anarchist,
stabbed Police Sergeant Babestan in
the Rue de La Cite, Paris, Monday
evening. He was overpowered by two
policemen. The sergeant was removed
to hospital, where an examination
showed that the wound was not NOR
tai one. When confronted by COM
missary of police soon after the stab
bling Daudey boasted that he was an
anarchist. He was sorry, he said, that
the wound was not a mortal one. He
had mistaken Babestan for Poisson, the
officer who arrested Emile Henry.
Somebody else would have to dispose
of Poisson After Poisson's death
Daudey said Premier Dupuy and Presi-
dent Casimir- Perier would be cared for
by the anarchists.

 We believe in efficiency as well as economy In the administration of county and terrtO- rial affairs and pledge the nominees of this convention Go a rigid observance Of these es- sCntials of good government.
 We dcnOumcO the Democratic party for the almost complete extinction of the sheep and cattle industry Of this county through the operation of the namcless miscarriage passed by the last Democratic congress under the nanC of Tariff Reform, that the wealth of this country has shrunken beyond human calculations that in our own county insol- vcncy hus taken tlIc place Of prosperity.

 We are in favor of the free coinage of silver at d ratio of IS tO 1. We are in favor of pro- lection to American industries, that good wages can be paid to wage earncrs.

TerritOriNi.

- The Republican party of Arizona reaffirms it's belief in and adherence 10 the principles ot the Republican party, under which the entire country has prospered and advanced in all it, material interests as no ether ma ton ever has.
 This success and prosperity has been due largely to wise system of protection to home industries, home market and home labor, the maintenance of which is of the greatest importance to the laboring men, to stock growers. to wool producers, to mining industries, to the producers of the soil. and to every other American industry.
 Because of an opposite belief by the Demo- cratic administration since it has assumed control of governmental affairs, all Of our industrial interests are threatened with de- struction OF great injury.
 Wr Ccnsurc the Democratic administration for:
 indebtedness
 Second It has IcGislated in the interests of tho great sugar trust of the country.
 Th!rd-lt has almost destroyed the cattle, wool and silver interests Of America.
 Fourth-It has failed to redeem it's pledges of two years since tO give statehood tO the territory.
 Fifth--lt has lcgslatcd in the interests of the manufacturers of other countries and against the interests Of all classes in our own country, and is responsible for the hard times that aflict us.
 We are opposed to the return of tbe rene gsde Geronimo to our territory. as is now threatened.
 We believe in the free and unlimited coin Rgc of silver in a ratio of lG to l. and demand that our government take immediate steps to this cnd without regard to what other na- tions may do
 We favor the reduction of taxation tO the lowest possible limit under which territorial, county and municipal governments can be carried on in our territory.
 We demand national legislation in the Qucs- tion of naturalization and immigration, to the end that our country may be protected from the socialists, anarchists. and the pau per md criminal classes of all countries.
 We favor government appropriation of moneys for the reclamation of the arid lands of the west
 We favor the admission of Arizona as state, and deprccatc any attempt 10 make this party issue, as being inimical Co the lntCrcsts of the territory.

c. II. SCHULZ,

the nominee for member of the board of supervisors from Flagstaff, is one of Coconino cOuDty's largest tax. payers, and therefore he will at all times have the welfare of the tax, payer at heart. Mir. Schulz came to Coconino before the advent uf the railroad and has lived here ever since, and whatever property he has accumu- lated has been made since that time. Every dollar he has made here has been re-invested in this county. He has excellent business qualifications, which will be found essential in per. forming the duties of member of the board. The nomination of Mr. Schulz was uot sought by him but he was chosen by the convention for the reason of his many qualifications for the office. The taxpayer, no matter to what party he belongs, will ad- vance tho interest of the county by casting his ballot for Charles H. Schulz.
