GOLD JED PRoUTY."

OLD PROUT1.
The Opera house is to be the scene next
Friday night for the last time, until the
year 1900, when the attraction returns from
its European tour, of sort of bucolic jubi-
lee-revival with Richard Golden and bis
"Old Jed Prouty" creation as the bright
particular stars. The piece is going to be
put on with the same Importance and real
ism with which it has been undertaken
here. The production will be the
largest of its class that has ever
been attempted at the Opera House.
1t will be given with the same cast contract
ed to appear in the large cities, and the
presentation will be undertaken without
prejudice to the pastoral simplicity and
coloring of the general construction. The
scenes of "Old Jed Prouty," are laid in
Bucksport, Maine, where, it appears, Mr..
Golden, the star of the play, passed his boy
hood days and had the old man whose name
gives title to the play constantly before his
eyes. Golden little thought that eventually
he would be called upon to reproduce his
early studies in the shape of drama. Seats
are now on sale at the Opera House Cafe,
and at G. W. Browns in Gardiner.

The Republican-Journal is exceed.

on Rock river, who happened to hold
the key to the situation. and who de

was forced to change its route. Rock

- Free Wool and It's Effect.

If wool be put on the free list, the American wool grower will have to
 ubmit to the disadvantages of raising wool m this climate on even terms with his foreign rivals, who do not have such difficulties to contend with, and so without adequate protection must necessarily be driven out of the business. Our seventh largest agricul- tural industry, producing annually S66, ,000, ,000 worth of wool and repre- senting an investment of $200, ,000, ,000 in sheep, will be destroyed by flee trade. Sheep will be fattened and will then be sent to market as food, and will disappear forever. Our food sup ply will in time thus be decreased and our manufacturers eventually will be driven to buy ,their wool in London or in Australia. Gold will thus be sent out of the country again, increasing the harmful influences that must fol- low with the balance of trade perma- nently against us. The wool growers would be forced into some other indus try. They would probably blow up their present sheep pastures when the land is suitable and raise wheat, of which we already have an overproduc- ton and surplus. It is to the inter- est of American farmers to diversity their industries and to produce such articles as will find market at home instead of abroad. The present admin istration favOrs a glut of a few p:o- ducts with their consequent cheapness to the producers. s.--EconUmist,

Out of the Race.


 The following card is published in the Phoenix Republican," of August 9:
 In view of the fact that it is now apparent that contest will have to be made in our party for the nomination of delegate to congress from this terri tory the result of which might jeopard- ize our success in November, l have determined to withdraw my name in this connection.
 In allowing my name to be used in the first instance, had not supposed, nor did l believe there would be any strong rivalry for the position, as here tofore it has beeu very difficult to ob- tain candidates willing to make the race.
 In withdrawing, under these crcum- stances, l express my hearty apprecia- tion of the warm support received from friends all over the territory, and l urge them to unitedly give Governor Murphy the support which a contest might have divided, as know he has expressed willingness re- gently to accept the nomination if ten dered him by the party.
 Individually, 1 will extend every aid in my power tending to his election and the success of the republican party"

SheriH's Mileage.

A matter of interest to the various sheritfs of this territory was decided in the district court of Maricopa county recently. Sheriff Murphy charged mileage on each prisoner by him taken to Yuma, no matter how many ibere might be in the same party. Judge Baker decided that he WAS only enti- tied to mileage on one prisoner of the party, with all the expenses of convey ing the party and mileage for all nec- essary guards attending it. By this decision the sheriff's bill was reduced $289. 80 for the last quarter.
 Another point decided was in refer epce to process. It was held that for each warrant, subpoena, ov other pro cess served. the sheriff was entitled to mileage, though all parties named in several processes lived in the same place. If more than one person Is named in the same process then mileage will be allowed only for that one served farthcst from the court house.
 An appeal to the supreme court will probably be taken in order to finally settle both points, Gazette.

ASIDE from the objections to the present admission of Arizona as a state to which we have referred heretofore, the fact that the bill passed by the house and and favorably reported in the senate provides for its admission with the constitution hastily framed and adopted three years ago, ought of itself to be fatal A great many flaws are found in that constitution, and that is reason enough for rejecting the pend ing bill. The proper method of pro Ceeding, when Arizona is fit to become state, is the usual one of passing an enabling act and requiring constitu- tion to be carefully framed and adopted in pursuance of its provisions. The legislature of Arizona, consisting of twelve members in one branch and tweuty-four in the other, passed an act on the 19th Of-March, 1891, providing iOl du SlCCNIOh VI NClCSdltS Ou lHC StC- ond Tuesday in May for a convention to meet at Phoenix on the first Monday in September. The vote was light, and the twenty-two delegates chosen as constitution makers were not highly qualified for the task But they put it through inside of a month, and in the following December the constitution was ratified, as anything purporting to have been state constitution would have been. Less than 5000 votes were cast. It is this constitution, admitted to be defective and ambiguous in its provisions, with which it is proposed to admit the new state without delay, be- cause each party has some hope that it may secure the two senators, and for no other reason whatever.

 the free trade democracy. One of them is Arthur P. German, of Mary land, and the other is David B. Hill, of New York. They have the satisfac- tion of knowing that they made their enemy in the white house their bonds man and forced him to do their bidding.

Cievelands term will not expire until March, 1897 His veto cannot be over ridden by the next congress. and the congress elected in 1896 will not meet for more than year afterward.

Gov. Hughes end statehood

During his stay in New York Gov. Hughes, in an interview, said
 1.-The bill to admit Arivona to state- hood was reported favorably from Sen ator Faulkner's committee, on Friday, in just the form it passed the lower house. It is now at the foot of the calendar, and do not believe it can be passed until next December. I found many senators favorable to admitting Arizona under an enabling act, as was done il the case of Utah.
 "Some of the senators believe that the Arizona constitution, which accom- panies the present bill, is not safe. It is claimed that the provision as to irri- gation and water sights is ambiguous, and more in the interests of corpora tions than the people. The clause wherein silver is made legal tender for all debts, etc, is objected to by the senators, on the ground that state constitutional convention cannot Iegis- late on the money question. But our people are unanimous in their desire for statehood. and l want to tell you that Arizona citizens will average intel Iigence with those of any state in the UniOn."

 The grand jury find that the mur- derer of Lot Smith is still at large, al- though warrant for the apprehension of this criminal has been in the hands of the authorities since the October term of this court, 1892. We respect fully recommend that every effort be made to bring him to justice. We re- alize that it is not an easy matter to arrest Navajo Indian, whose identity is susceptible of considerable uncer- tainty, but we urge that the enormity of the crime demands more than ordi- nary persistence.
 EvIdence has been presented to the grand jury showing that the citizens of our county living at and in the vicinity of Tuba City suffer greatly from the depredations of the Navajo Indians, who kill thelr cattle, steal their horses, destroy their dams and ditches used in irrigating their farms, and threaten (not always vainly) their lives. These wrongs have been endured patiently for years, and by reason of the facts that Tuba City is 50 far removed from the county seat, and that the Navajo Indians move from one place to an other on their broad reservation with such facility, and so adroitly evade ap prehension, it seems extremely difficult to afford the relief in these cases which is so well merited. We urge, however, that whenever complaint is laid against these Indians no effort be spared to bring tle offenders to answer, believing that one or two exemplary punishments will bring the Indians to proper real ization of the rights of their white neighbors.
 The further recommendation of this body will be found in the several con- mittee reports, which are attached hereto and made part of this report.
 We desire to thank Your Honor for the consideration and courtesy with which you have treated this grand jury, and we are indebted to the sheriff for efficient service in the promptsummon- ing of witnesses, and to the district at torncy for valuable counsel and aid.
 Having finished our labors, we re- Spectfully ask to be finally discharged.
