The STRIFE Necass,-x

We notice that To V. pPowderly is quoted
as saying, THAT "a strike never did nor
never will do any good" We hunlbly beg
to differ with him. While all must deplore
war, yet when war becomes necessary to
establish human liberty it must be carried
on to final conclusion. He will hardly
claim that arbitration could have been sue
eessful in gaining our liberty from the i'm
positions of England when she would not
arbitarate, SO with Pullman and the rail
ways when they will not arbitrate, the
strike Industrial war; or wage slavery is
the only alternative.

Two years ago, says the Denver Repu-

higher wages and steadier employ ment
than ever before in the worlds history,
self-appOinted leaders of the laboring
classes in Colorado and every other state
demanded "a change" They said that
republican rule was making the rich
richer and the poor poorer, and that
it was patriotic duty TO restore to
mower the democratic party for the
express purpose of repeating the Nc
Kinley tariff which was denounced as
unconstitutional and a device for the
robbery of the masses and the enrich
meat of the classes. They got the

benefited their dupes among the labor
ing men? For answer read the daily
record of strikes, marching unarmies Of
unemployed workmen, failing indus
tries. closed banks ard shrinking wages
and values. The people who brought
about "the change" must aid in rever5-
ing that bIunder at the polls before
they can hope for restoration OF the
prosperity which they aided in over
throwing at the pole, ard we have no
doubt that they will be only too glad 10

GLOBE is in sackcloth and ashes. The
announcement Of its destruction by nre

sincere sorrow in Tucson. Everyone
who spoke Of it did so with regret and
the hope was universally expressed that
the town would build up larger and
more substantial than before. Thls Will
undoubtedly be done as Globe heS

mineral belts in the country. 1t is
mineral that pays to work and Wheh
the railroad now going in that direction
is completed, revival of business may
be confidently looked for, and capital
will seek profitable investment, that Is
now debarred from entering the district
by reason of its great distance from the
railroad. The construction OF this road
will act like magic on Globe properties
and a town at least double it's present
size may be looked for within year
after the completion of the roao. Gloce
is fortunate even in its misfortune, for
while the smelters of the Old Dominion
Copper company continue to smoke the
stability of the town is assured. Add 10
this the vim and enterprise displayed
by the good people of Globe, when &C.
casion calls for it, and an assurance
doubly sure is made that all traces OF
the recent disastrous fire will be lost
within the next few months.

The necessity for storage reservoirs

present time. From almost every sec
ton Of the country comes demand for
water for suffering crops, but as there
is but little or none in the rivers, none

upon the parched and thirsting land.
The Gila river at Florence is prac i
cally dry and the canal north of the
reservoir is entirely arid through no

This condition of affairs must continue
till rain is bad. This scarcity of water
is however, compensated IN measure
oy the efforts of the company, under the
management of Receiver Hammond,

nifty for cleaning the canal-now partially
filled with DEBRIS. This will increase its

work done at the head of the canal.
cause of much well grounded dissatis-
faction. The canal for nearly mile
ran parallel with the river ard on a
level Herewith. 1t was because of being
subject TO washouts with each recurring
flood, and water, when too often most
needed, was not to be had. This trouble
under the management of Mr.. Ham
mond has been entirely overcome by the
construction of an additional piece Of
canal at cost of SINE $4,000 The
headgate of the canal has been protect

reduced TO a minimum. These good
works have won Mr.. Hammo d many
favorable commentators. The next
improvement needed is storage reser-
voir al the Buttes, and until this is done

the crying necessity of the ho1r

finest IN the entire country and when

out of doors than that in that valley.

induce capital to serving in their direc-

In good old England. or foreign cl'mes,
Sing heigh. my boy, sing no!
They carried things with a high OLD
hand,
Nor strong, nor weak, could before
them stand,
And they killed whom they pleased
throughout the land,
Slug heigb, my boy, sirg no!
But the giants d dn't have things
their own way when Jack-the Giant
killer arrived on tia sceae. You re-
member the story. Recollect, too, that
every age has its giants-killer. We
have our giants IN the form of all sorts
of dread diseases. supposed 10 be incur

Pierce, who has proven the expression
"incurable diseases" to be a fallacy.

scriptior? It's the only guaranteed
remedy for ell functional disturbances,
painful disorders and chronic weak
nesses of womanhood. In female com

back. It's simply a question of the
company you prefer the Giant or Jack!

tie homes and interests of our people to
be forgotten. At Terre Hauta, Indiana,

No STOCK is taken by the territorial

son and Logan by the Indians Oh Thur
ON island. and nothing but the most
convincing proof of his death VIII LEAD
to the belief that the recent story OF ms
killing is not fake of the fakiest KIND
Robinson's reputation in that direction
is decidedly against him. This incred-

generally expressed, will do much to-
wards taking the edge off the sensation
Robinson may hope to create by setting
a report afoot of his killing. Ihe only
way be can redeem himself from the
charge of fakerism now laid against
him is to get killed in earnest, but we
