FROM THE SANCTUMS.

New York Sun-"There is moth
ing unexpected or striking in the
message which Mr.. Cleveland sent
to Congress. The important para
graphs might be printed in three
quaters of a column. The sem
fences, which are obviously of the
Presidents own composition, would
occupy much less space than that.
The enormous length of the docu-
ment is due solely to the industry
of the clerks who have been en-
gagged in summarizing and para
phrazing the annual reports from
the several department and to a
creditable desire to impart to this
years message what is called a
busjness-like appearance, in point
Of volume, if not Of contents"
Waco News-"It Governor-elect
CulbersOn is really bent on reform
he might score a point by recon-
mending in his first message the
abolition of the House and Senate
Chaplainshtps. With cotton at
4 cents the Texas tax payers really
cannot afford to pay $40 day for a
brace OF twO-minute prayers which
nobody listens to, and which, being
purely perfunctory, Almighty God
does not heed"
New Orleans States Dem
ocratic members of the House and
Senate who have seen fit to sneer
at the Presidents message and to

cranks who are responsible for the
disastrous defeat the Democrats
sustained in the recent elections.
They seem ready and willing to
make more mischief and further
demoralize the party"
st. Louis Post. Dispatch-"There
is nothing in the message that is
calculated to call out Of the bush
the Democratic voters who disap-
peared at the November elections.
The six hundred thousand Demo-
Gratis who voted the Populist tick
ct on that day will hardly find
anything in it to convert them
from the error of their ways"
Two Republics; MeXico-"Upon
the whole, the claim made that

tinue to be Of the most gratifying

County.

We. the Republicans Of COconinO County, Arizona. in convention assembled, this first day ot October IS9I. do adopt and declare the following Platforms:
 We rcaflirm our allegiance tO the National Republican party and call attention 10 the unparalleled disuSter that has resulted to every interest in the United States with the probable exception of the favored Trusts. the pan,percG pets of q f1ithlcss Democracy as n consequence Of the fatuous abandonment of tho American principle by misguided pco- pie in lsg..
 We endorse the examinations and platform of tho Territorial Republican convention and pledge tO them our hcarticSt support. We urge upon the voters of the Territory the eX- pedienCy of sending a Delegate to Congress whose political convictions arc not repug- nant to the vital interests Of Arizona, and whose energy and ability will bc devoted sole ly for the welfare of her sons and daughters.
 We believe In efficiency as well as economy in tho administration Of county and territO- rial affairs and pledge the nominees Of this convection to a rigid observance of these os- sentials Of good government.
 We dcnouuce the Democratic party for tho almost complete extinction Of the sheep and cattle industry Of this county through the OpeTat ion of the nameless miscarriage passed by tue last Democratic congress under the name of Tariff Reform, that the wealth of this country has shrunkcn beyond human calCuh, ion: that in our own county insol- vency has taken the place of prosperity.
 That wage earncrr who under Republican rule received a just remuneration for their tOil, are now Of necessity being employed at a reduction of fTom 25 to 50 per cent. of the old scale. That gloom aud despondency have taken the place of contentment and peace,
 We are In favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of Is 1. We are In favor of pro- tection to American industries. that good wages can be paid to wage earners.
 We charge the Democracy with the evasion of every promise and the violation of every pledge. Of giving to foreign nations by legis- lstion what they could not take by force of arms.

- -~--z--9z--------- THE PRICE OF WOOL.

The democratic newspapers and the democratic campaign speakers are say ing that the price of wool has al. vanced since the passage of the Wilson bill or since it was put on the free list. Every wool grower knows that it is untrue, and it is probable that every democratic campaign speaker and every democratic newspaper knows that it is untrue. The fact is that there is not single grade of Ameri- can wool that will bring any more money than the current price on Aug ust 27, the date the Wilson bill went into effect, and Arizona grades will not bring the prices in vogue on that date, being now from 12 to 20 per cent lower. Iu March, 1894, fine ter ritorIal wool was bringing 17 cents per pound. On October 1, 1894, the price paid was 10 cents, decline of ll.l2 per cent in nineteen months. This covers Clevelands administra- ton for the first nineteen months. On August P, when the free wool schedule went into effect, the same grade of wool was quoted at II cents per pound; to-day it is quoted at 10 cents. decrease of 9.09 per cent in forty-tive days, since the passage of the free wool bill. Thus we have, under free wool. falling prices in America and advancing prices in Europe.
 The lower the prlce of wool the greater the loss to the wool grower, until he must turn his attention to other business and increase the supply of other crops, cheapeping their yal"e to other rapcbors

Tho Republican party of Arizona resffirms it's belief in and adherence 10 tho principles Of the Republican party. under which tho entire country has prOspered and advanced tn all it's material interests as no ether ma tlOn ever has.
 This success and prosperity has been due largely to wise system of protection to home industries, a 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 1t has assumed control of governmental affairs, all of our industrial interests arc threatened with de- .tructiOn or great injury
 We censurc the Democratic administration for:

 We believe in the free and unlimited coin age of silver in 2 ratio of l6 to 1, and demand that our government take immediate steps tO this end, without regard to what other na- tlons may do.
 We favor the reduction of taxation to tho lowest possible limit under which territorial, county and municipal governments can be carried on in our territory.
 We demand national legislation in the qucs ton of naturalization and immigration, to the end that our country may he protected from the socialists, anarchists. and the pau per and 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 a state. and deprocate any attempt to make this party issue, as being ininlcal to the interests of the territory.

OUR democratic contemporary says that Dr. Johnston was born in a for eign country. So he was, but he cor rected the error of his birth and be- came an American citizen. The editor of the Democrat and the democratic candidate for sheriff were both unfor- tunate in their birthplace, and yet we have DO fault to find with them that they are now American citizens.

ACCORDING to the Democrat. it is aD unpardonable sin for man born in a foreign country to run for office iu the United States, and take the repub- licans to task for nominating Dr. W. NJ. Johnston for the territorial coun- ciI. Dr. Johnston was born in Canada, four miles from the line between that country and the United States. He came to this country IS years old and has resided here ever since. He has complied with our laws and has taken the oath of allegiance, and is and has been at all times faithful citizen and an ardent supporter of our form of government, and consequently he is entitled to receive all the honors that his party and the suffrages of the people see fit to bestow upon him.

and smoking cars all left the track and the smoker was the only one that escaped serious damage. Conductor Al. Rice soon dispatched fooirunner to Dennison, where Winslow was com municated with, and in the evening the wreckers arrived upon the scene. In the meantime, the passengers most of whom were eastern people on their way to California-beguiled the weary hours by feasting their eyes on the beautiful scenery at that point. The ladies amused themselves by carv- ing their names upon the rocks or writing letters to their loved ones while the thrilling incidents of the occasion were still fresh in their minds. All shook hands with them selves upon their marvellous escape from death. The dark brown bull was an object of great interest as he lay at the side of the track with his neck badly twisted. The Mexicaus wanted an impromptu barbecue and had all ready whipped out their knives when Conductor Rice interfered. But the amiable conductor had too much on his hands to guard the person of the sacred bull from the asihine relic hun ters. The bulls horns soon disap- peared and little scraps of his hide were sliced off as pocket pieces. One man even cut out the dead bovine's teeth and carried them off.
 The religious enthusiast was on hand and he had his little hymn book with him. He and mixed choir stood out on the plain and endeavored to con- vert the heather by singing "lu the Sweet Bye and Bye" and other time-worn melodies. Then some base conspirators bribed the Mexicans to exploit some of their native airs, and they responded with the Mexican Ma tional Hymn, which was followed by My Country, 'Tis of Thee," by the choir.
 The train was pulled back to Wins low Sunday evening, and Monday morning again got under way for the scene of the disaster, with box cars as substitutes for the wrecked baggage and express cars. This time the peo- pie were treated to the nov el sight of train dispatchiug out upon the trackIess prairie. Operator McKin- non from Winslow had been brought there and the wires were tapped to connect with his battery. His table was q piece of the wreck and his seat a pine box. Plugging close to d tele- graph pole he ticked of and received orders, while the wreckers were en- deavoring to replace the front engine, which had stopped of the "shooAy" track. She was soon on the rails again and after twentysiX hour tie up No. 3 and her passengers went on their wa. rejoicing.

STATEHOOD.
is TO L.

The news concerning statehood gro Es
more favorable day by day, and the
general impression seems to be both
here and in Washington that the Ari-
IONA admission bill will certainly pass
perhaps before the HOLIDAYS.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
territorial committee, has been a per-
sistent advocate OF the policy of in
GLIDING the bill in the program for the
short session, meeting the arguments of
those who have had the bill sidetracked
for political reasons, with the assertion
that the result of the recent election
could not be accepted as in any sense a
criterion OF the permanent political
preferences of the people of the terri
tory.
Delegates Joseph and Smith, repre-
senting New Mexico and Arizoza. and
both Democrats, confirmed the opinion.
Both OF them nave been spending con-
siderable time on the floor of the sem
ate recently. They urged upon the
Democratic senators that it is unfair to
judge the predictions of their re-
spective constituencies by the results
in the contests for delegates. In the
territories, as elsewhere, many Demo-
Gratis remained away from the polls at
the November election.
Messrs. Joseph and Smith argue from
these premises that the territories will
prove safely as Democratic states, and
urge that the programme for admis-
sion be carried forward just as zeal
ously as though they were both to con-
tlnue to sit in the house the next two
years.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

1t seems to THE REPUBLICAN that the
coming legislature should make pro-
vision for territorial historical bu-
reau. We have nothing of the kind in
Arizona. and if the work of gathering
and collecting historical matter be not
inaugurated soon much of priceless
value will be lost. Indeed, much has
been already lost, and the subject
should not be longer neglected.
The pioneers are passing away, and
as each one closes his eyes on the world
some narrative of early days is lost to
the future. In order that history NAV
be accurate, it is necessary that his
torians should have the advantage Of
all possible information bearing upon
any point to be treated of. Written
records OF the events OF the early settle
ment of the territory are necessarily
brief and obscure. Much that is of in
terest finds no place at all in such
records as Investigators will have ac.
cess to hereafter. These pioneers. how.
ever, can supply the missing links, and
the information that they eau give
should be gathered and slowed away for
future use.
If the territory should take hold of
the matter, society could be easily Or
ganized. the mem bers Of which would
do the great bulk of the work free of
cost. Matter relating both to past and
to current history would be gathered
up in all parts of the territory. and we
would soon have an invaluable collec-
ton that would form the basis of Ari-
IONA history for all time.
OF course this work could be done
under private direction, but if it be
left to private enterprise it will he too
long neglected. Those who are in
terested in the subject are not able to
bear the expense that would be in
Cured in storing, classifying and in
dexlng the records. Moreover, thew
lack leadership and cannot afford to
devote the time necessary to the Or
ganizatlon and maintenance of an
association to take charge of the
work. To the territory On the
other hand, the duty OF taking the
leadership and providing for the ex-
pense naturally falls. The cost would
be very small when compared with the
benefit to be derived. Under the d.
rection of an official or board charged
with the responsibility, the volunteer
orces of the territory could be readily |
with the result that, in
very short time, we would have an
lctiye society engaged in the interest
ng task of collecting the historical
ecords OF our proud young common
wealth.
