A PROMISING CANDIDATE.

Col. WIN. CHRlsTY and DR.. Goodrich
of Phoenix are in the city. The DIR. is
a candidate for the republican nomina-
ton to congress and has the courage TO
say so. He does not appear to have
sought the position originally but hav-
ing consented to be a candidate before
the convention he proposes to be can
didate after the convention, if possible,
end will leave no stone unturned to
make winning On either issue. He is
a good citizen and solid business man
and if entrusted with the republican
standard will spare no pains to carry
it to to victory.
Col. Christy, who is with him, gives
him his support and unqualified en-.
dorsement This of itself is no small
measure in the matter of success, as
the Col 10 as widely known and respect
ed as any man in the territory. He is of
the belief that M8ricopa county will
vote solidly for Goodrich in the CONVEX
ton. If this is done it will do much to-
wards carrying the nomination. How
ever, the goods have yet to be delivered,
Both gentlemen are now here In the
doctors interest and will make a careful
inquiry into the respective standing OF
the several parties before the country
now bidding for the nomination. lu ap-
pearance the DR.. is both pleasing and
gentlemanly and if nominated will take
we'll with the public. May the best
man win

WHAT DEMOCRACY WILL DO
FOR TWO ARIZONA INDUS
TRIES

The new tariff bill promises to affect
Arizona materially in its two greatest
industries-c raising and mining.
Should the bill ever pass, and it seems
likely, Tough in the vague and indefi-
mite democratic way, long time hence,
according to present provisions of the
act cattle from Sonora will be liz deadly
competition with Arizona stock.
The protective measures of the Nc
Kinley act, placing SO b ad On stock
which is bar TO the icxican herds,
will be swept aside, and Instead an ad
valorem duty of 30 ger cent has been
promised. The best arguments the
democracy can advauce in favor of the
Arizona cattle gr}w Is that il viii
bring more buyer to this part OF the
couutry. In view Of the fact that in
the Ariveca country not steer can be
seen on the ranges - it would
seem fallacy t get more buyers here,
when all the Ock on the Arizona
ranges already find comparatively
ready market. To open the vast areas
of the Sonora ranges to competition
with the home stock would hardly be
to the advantage f the home stock
grower. In Sonora stock sells for from
81 to SO head (Mexican money! or 81
to 81 a head American. Adding 70
per cent would make 81 40 to 81 80 a
head to which figure Arizona cattle
must come.
That is what democracy will do for
the Arizona cattleman.
The Mckinley duty on lead ores is q
cent and half pound. The Wilson
bill will probably be passed with the
duty at three-fourths of cent pound.
In Sonora there are some large lead
silver properties shut down, awaiting
that reduction in duty on lead. With
it they will rush in their lead for fiuxes
and United States lead silver properties
will be discounted in ratio to the reduc-
ton in duty.
The government income on the lead
from Mexico, so far as Sonora is con-
cerned, in the opinion of Collector Sam
Webb, of the Nogales port, will be un-
changed, as he expects about double the
lmportations. The government income
will be good deal from the Sonora cat
tie, and will be fine thing for the So
nora ranchers--but the Arizona ranch
or, he will get it on the neck. So will
the Arizona lead silver miner.

TARIFF TINKERING.

SENATOR German is not one OF the
senate conferees on the tariff bill, but
he is credited by the cuckoos with being
responsible for the action OF the senate
coaferees in standing out stubborniy
for the retention of the senate amend
ments to the tariff bill and forcing the
disagreement report that has been made
to the house, in the face of the influence
of MIR. Cleveland and his administration,
which has been openly used to bring
about a surrender upon the part Of the
senate conferees on all of the important
senate amendments, and particularly
upon those putting duty on sugar. iron
ore and coal. Doubtless Senator Cor
man is perfectly willing to accept this
responsibility, but as matter of fact
he and the few democratic senator's who
aided him in putting duty on iron ore
and coal, thus saving two of our great
est industries from the utter destruc-
tion intended by Mr.. Cleveland and the
free traders, are in this matter merely
representatives of the great business
and industrial interests OF the country.
which have plainly indicated that as
choice of two evils the tariff bill as
amended by the senate is far preferable
to the original Wilson bill, which the
democratic conferees of the house wish
to return. AS the matter looks at this
writing the free traders of the house
will have to choose between accepting
the most important of the senate amend
ments or 10 tariff legislation at this ses-
sion, and it is not yet certain which they
will take. The republicans are wide
awake and will take advantage OF the
situation if an opportunity be given
them. What they wish most to do ls,
of course, to kill the tariff bill outright,
but failing in that they stand ready to
help keep every senate amendment
which puts duty on articles made free
by the Wilson bill, or raises the duty
named in the Wilson bill. Things look
very favorable to their succeeding in the
last if they fail in the first.

GENERAL NELSON A. MILES, U

AS general Nelson A. Miles is quite
favorite in Southern Arizona, we repro
duce, with pleasure, the following come
plimentary record of his achievement
from HRrpers Weekly.
General Miles represents not only the
army, but the national government.
He is the right arm of the federal execu-
tive. now for the first time in our history,
extended to enforce the federal law IN
the protection of that vast body OF inter
ests-prscticrnv the interests of the
entire populatic1 known IN the constl-
tuition as commerce between the
states" For such charge it Is plain
that a man is required of perfect loyalty,
of trained capacity, of sound judgement,
unmoved by fear or passion, independ-
emit of political pressure, unintiuenced
by prejudice, ruler of others and OF
himself. General Miles is such man.
He is a born soldier, but a citizen
citizen soldier. A Massachusetts volun-
teer lieutenant in 1861, at the age OF
twenty-five, he was Major General OF
Volunteers in 1865, then a colonel OF
tie regular army, and by steady promo
ton is now Maior-General, and by the
close Of this year will be the Major
General commanding the armies OF the
United States, next in military rank 10
the president. This remarkable career
is due to bis native qualities, unaided
by any influence or intrigue. HIS
services since the close of the war OF the
rebellion have been at once brilliant
and of the greatest permanent value to
the country. They have consisted IN
practically putting an end to Indian
wars. He has subdued the warlike
Sioux under Sitting-Bull and Crazy
Horse. subdued the Nez-Perces under
Chief Joseph, brought the Bannocks
within their lawful reservation, and
finally-the most difficult, splendid, and
skillful of all this work-he hunted
down Geronimo and the Apaches of
Arizona, the best and most stubborn
Indian fighter OF the continent, freed
the whole Southwestern territory of all
Indian dangers, and left the way ITO
civilization clear to the Pacific.

The democratic bosses are consider
ably alarmed at the probable DETECTION
of a number of democratic congressme
from the south. There has been con-
siderable talk on the subject, but 1T
was not until this week that the revo
really showed its head. Representa-. .
benson, of Alabama, who has been in
his district for week or ten days, has
written letter formally announcing
his intention to leave the democratic
party and to affiliate with the populists,
and others are expected to follow suit.
Republicans are not greatly interested
iu the revolt, as the solid south has Lot
been allowed to play any part IN their
congressional calculations, although
they would not object to anything that
promised even remotely to bring about
fairer election methods in the south,
which can only come after the over
throw OF the autocratic authority OF the
democratic party in that section.

THE local A. r. U. in Oakland have
met and declared the strike Off. This
largely ends the great fiasco in Califor-
MIA. We call it fiasco for the reason
that it paralyzed trade and travel,
brought poverty and restitution and
sorrow to many homes, and accomplish
ed nothing that was good. The strike
was ordered by few irresponsible men
who hoped to gain popularity among
their followers under the pretense OF
righting wrongs that never existed. The
restitution and distress caused by these
men ara widespread and far reaching
and the end in this direction we fear is
not yet, and it will take many months
before the wounds made and iii feelings
eDgendered can heal. Men who had no
grievance against their employers were
made to assume one at the behests OF
others and today they are without en-

Elk GOVERNOR MURPHY is in the city,
looking we'll and robust as ever. de
came in from Prescott by way OF Albu-
querque this morning. The governor
is not on politics bent but is here IN
connection with the north and south
railroad now building towards Phoenix
from the Atlantic and Pacific. la the
matter of the congressional nomination
the governor has not yet reached the
discrimination that he will come before
the people for their suffrage. The
question however, will be given his most
respectful consideration and IL he
decides TO be ca qdidate he will go In
heart and soul and win if win is IN the
books. Governor Murphy may not be
popular among the political manipula'
tors but he is today the most popular
man among the masses there is In
Arizona. He leaves for Phoenix TO-
night.

A WAR cloud is gathering over the
island of Corea, and China and Japan
are facing each other Oh the field OF
war. 1t is not SO much the attitude OF
these two beligerants as it is the intiu-
ence behind them. At the back of
China England is certainly arranged, aud
Russia, equally warlike, is said to be
lending courage and strength to Japan.
From the first to the second it ia but

SENATORS GREY and Lindsay, the
democratic members of the committee
that investigated the sugar trust
scandal, placed themselves in very
upenviable positions, when they voted
against d reopenins Of the investigation,
to ascertain the truthfulness OF a state
ment asserting that an original order
given by Senator Camden, of West
Virginia. for the purchase of a block of
sugar trust stock was in existence; also
a photograph of that order. 1t but
proved the charge that the democratic
members of the committee bad never
had any desire to uncover anything
rejecting upon democratic senator's
although it did rot prevent reopening
of the investigation. Senator Camden
swore that he had never purchased any
sugar stock, and is it can be proven that
he did the committee should lose no
time in placing the facts before the
United States district attorney in order
that the grand jury may find an indict.
ment for perjury. The United States
senators are just as amenable to law as
other men.

IT is easy to tell that this is congress
sional election year by the buncome res

solely for vote catching purposes. 10
this class belongs the Joint resolu len
offered by Senator George, of Ml.als-

the constitution of the United Stat s,
making eight hours constitute a gal

labor How Mr.. Georges Mississippi
planter friends, who work their "hRr ds''

tighten the burden of those engaged in

The Cockleburrs are very suspicious
Of the actions of Governor Hughes, who
is new east. They attribute to HIM
more imaginary powers of evil that is
possible far a man to possess. LII state
hood had been turned down by the
senate committee he would have been
charged with it. IL the senate fails TO
pass the bill for Arizona's admission 1t
will be due to the pernicious influence
the governor has exercised over that
august body If the senate passes the bill
and the president vetoes it Mr.. Hughes
will be credited with it. 1t would
astound him to know what miraculous
powers the Cockleburrs clothe him with
for wrong doing.

The Bailey bankruptcy bill which
passed the house early last week is not
likely to be popular with creditors, as
no matter how hopelessly mans bust
ness may be involved he cannot be COM
PEELED by creditors to take any action.
He must do so voluntarily or not do it
at all. This may be an improvement on
no national bankruptcy law at all, but
it is such small improvement that it
doubtful whether the senate Will ever
pass the bill IN its present shape.
