An Express Held Up.

Phoenix, Ari., October 1.-The South
ern Pacific east bound express was held
up two miles east OF MaricOpa late last
night by three men, two of whom were
masked. They boarded the train as it
was leaving MaricOpa, capturing the
head brakeman. He was compelled to
turn on the air brakes and stop the train.
The engineer and head brakeman with
pistols at their heads, were compelled to
go back to the express car and induce
the messenger to open the door. One
of the bandits was then put in the car
and searched for valuables while the
others guarded each side of the train.
The amount taken Is not known, but ii
is supposed to be small The trainmen
were then marched away a short dis
tance and liberated, the robbers mount
ing their horses and striking southwark
Sheriff DraIs, of Pinal coantv, and
Sheriff Murphy, of Maricopa, were at
once telegraphed for. Drais sent a posse
from Casa Grande to the scene of the
robbery, while Murphy sent several DOS

pected men, seven miles east of the city.

CANIDATE HASTINGS, says the Clearfield
Public Spirit, is busy these days telling
the people of Pennsylvania how the
hard times were brought about bv the
Democratic party and charging every
calamity to the Democratic administra-
ton. Dan has talked every evening for
the past ten days but he hasn't said
word about refusing to live up to the
pledges he made to the miners of Sterling
in the spring of 1892 when he was presi-
dent of the Sterling Coal Companv.
Dan can talk all day and say very little

IN discussing the suppression of for,
est fires State Forestry Commissioner
Rothrock says:
The reason more prompt means are
not taken by the authorities to suppress
forest fires IN the state is simply because
IT is to big a problem for the counties
The law requires the county commission
ers to appoint persons to ferret out
those who start fires, but it also provides
that such service shall be paid for by the
counties themselves. This is a gross
injustice; first, because it places the
heaviest burden on the weakest counties,
which have the largest woodland area
and the smallest population from which
to raise taxes; and, secondly, because
the state at large is as much interested
In the suppression of these fires as the
counties are.
1.-The remote timbered hills are, and
must continue to be, the sources from
which the water comes that nourishes
the life and industries of the more pop
ulous parts. II would bankrupt the
treasury of Pike county, for example. to
suppress all the forest fires which oayin-
ate IN or spread to its ilimits; yet, that
county IS one of the most important
water sheds of the state"

A Complete Answer.
(Atlanta Constitution, Dem


We presume that no bimetallist ever
contended that the government could
create values. But the government can
and does create the thing we call money,
and it can and does regulate the value
of money when it establishes ratio be-
tween two metals. The government goes
farther than this. By creating money out
of gold and silver. it creates a demand
for these metals for money purposes, and
this demand imparts to them the greater
part of the value they possess. The de-
mand for money is always constant. 1t
is equal to the combined demand for all
other exchangable articles. When, there
fore, government creates money out of
silver, the demand for that metal for
money purposes imparts to it new and
an increased value. This is the answer
to those who say that the value of the
silver In q dollar does not represent a
dollars worth of labor. as does a dollar
in gold. And it is a complete answer.
Those who deny it must first prove tina,
the law of supply and demand does not
operate.

The President and q Veto.
New York Recorder, Rep.)


The president who signed the Wilson
silver repeal bill of last November writes
himself down a trimmer and humbug
if he signs this seigniorage bill.
The bill is good one. 1t would relieve
the treasury and ease up little bit the
screws of currency contraction. But Mr..
Cleveland, who did his remOrseless best
and worst to put those screws down as
tightly as they could be put, repudiates
himself and his record if he signs this
bill. He insisted that what the country
needed, and all that it needed, was the
unconditional stoppage of silver coinage.
This seigniorange bill starts up that coin
age again. 1t conditions the uncondi-
tional madness of last fall. No doubt it
is wise bill, and, if it passes. will prove
beneficial bill.
But it goes dead against the inspired
idiOcy of unconditional repeal If Mr..
Cleveland has any sense of what political
coherency, financial logic, or personal
selfrespect requires, he must veto it.
The facts that all the associated rapaci-
ty of the world fears that he is going to
desert the cause of ''honest money!" and
that all the little back parlOrs of the in
ternational usury spiders, who live on
interest payable in gold) are in tlutter
lest he should forget what they want -
which is more national loans and bonds
Clearing interest in gOld)-show clearly
enough how little even the gold ring
trust him.

The Danger Averted.

Last week we warned the people there
was a movement that threatened the
very existence of our public school sys-
tenn, That article was written and the
paper had gone to press before the time
had expired when nominations might be
filed. and we knew not what names
might be presented to the city clerk as
candidates for councilman and school
directors.
Since then all nominations have been
filed and we can take comprehensive
view of the situation. Each candidate
whose name will be printed on the official
ballot is well known in this city, and we
can assure our readers that it would be
impossible to fill the offices from among
the number without giving US city
council which every iuhabitant of Dodge
City can contemplate with qualification
and complacently rely upon the ability,
honesty and prudence with which our
municipal government will be.managed.
Furthermore, there is now no possibility
of the school board passing under the
control of those adverse influences
against which we gave note of warning
last week, no matter who may be elected
of those whose names will appear upon
the official ballot. The list of republican
candidates for councilmen is L. Sims, of
the First Ward; Sam Stubs and H. r.
Brown, of the Second Ward; w. j. Fitz-
gerald and E. E. Smith. of the Third
Ward and J. n. Pope, of the Fourth
Ward. Only one of these has an opponent
in the field, therefore the next city cOun-
ell is certain to be overwhelmingly
republican. We have conferred with
several of them, and find there is an I'M
usual determination to do all in their
power to close the joints and keep the
schools open.
1t is sad fact, however, that without
active and aggressive support of our
sumptuary laws by the mayor, the cOun-
Gil is powerless to stop the unlawful
traffic. Even in addition to zeal for en-
forcing sumptuary laws, the mayor must
be possessed of more than ordinary
ability, courage that fears neither man
nor devils, and an integrity absolutely
incorruptible.
Our present mayor, while worthy
citizen in all other respects, and deserv-
ing of credit for his enterprising spirit
and faithful performance of all other
duties, does not see fit to do this partic-
ular work. Hence we must patiently
wait for another city election before 1t
can be accomplished.

full.

The Crisis i'm kansas.

Boston Woman's Home JOurnal.)
The state of Kansas politics Is such
that the fate of the woman suffrage
amendment next fall will largely depend
upon the action of the State conventions
Of the three great parties, which will
meet as follows: Republicans June 6,
Populists (probsblya June 80, Democrats
July 3. If either the Republicans or the
Populists endorse the amendment in their
platform, its success is probable; If both
endorse Il, Its success is assured; II both
ignore it, its success will become doubt
full.
On the other hand the success of these
parties will also depend largely on the
action taken by their State conventions.
If the Republicans, from timidity, ignore
tho Amendment aud refuse to make It an
issue, they will lose the advantage which
they have held in past years as the party
of equal rights and the champions OF
liberty and progress, while they will not
COUSllldlC TUG lCdSttOuiSkSf WI SSSNA OoJ
considerable Democratic support. If the
POpulists, in order to fuse with the Demo.
Gratis, ignore the Amendment and refuse
to make it an issue, then that party will
no longer have claim upon the support
of suffragists as such. If both parties
ignore the Amendment many suffrage
votes will be given for the Prohibition
party, and the reminder will be divided
upon the collateral issues of the
campaign.
Many Republicans in Kansas are in
favor of of simply adopting, at their next
State Convention, the national platform
of the party, ignoring State issues as far
as possible, but denounciug the theories
of the Populists and the alleged fraudu-
lent and illegal practices of the officials
in power. Such declaration would be
lamentably insufficient. All the Republic
can candidates for nomination for gov
ernor are in favor of woman suffrage, and
nearly all the Republican papers OF the
State are in favor of the Amendment.
But there, as here, there is an element
in the party which is bitterly opposed to
