THIS is the way Mir. w. B. Lightfoot, & New York banker and capitalist, sums up the situation: "The business condi- ton of the country IS going to improve steadily, but not as rapidly as some people think. The people will not be able to transact the trade that under normal conditions would have been carried on, because of the immense shrinkage of values during this period of prostrations-a shrinksge that has been estimated at S12,000, 100000, sn estimate that do not regard as exRgger- ated. The responsibility for most of this vast loss rests on congress, which took nine months to do what 8 council or convention of business men would have done in three weeks and done better. No wonder the people are disgusted with the democrats. I have belonged to that party all my life, but unless my views change greatly, shall never vote its ticket again. Ia my office in New York the other day 1 heard twelve gentlemen assert the same thing. They had all been lifelong democrats. The truth is that there are only few good business men in congress and they happen to be republicans"

A CANDIDATE FoRTREAsURER

So FAR as known Royal A. Johnson is the only candidate on the political hor- izon for treasurer of Pima county. He certainly IS the only one who has had the courage to announce his intentions through the medium of the public press. No man ever came up for office in the county in which more can be said than can be said in favor of MT. Johnson. He is splendid business man with heavy property interests in this and the neigh boring counties. He has been a resi- dent of this city for the past twelve or thirteen years. As an active republican he has been lavish with his means in be- half of good cause, and has put his shoulder to the wheel with willingness on many trying occasions. It augurs we'll for purity of politics when such a man as General Johnson consents to lend his name and strength to local is- sues.
 As surveyor general of Arizona under President Harrison, he made an envia- ble reputation in his determined stand against the encroachments of the land grants, and his able and comprehensive reports did much to curtail their preten- sions and pave the way for their discom- fture In the courts.

HERBERT BROWN =. Manage
THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

It is expected that the irrigation con- Qress which will assemble in this city on the 3d of next month will be attended by a large number of delegates. A majority of them will come from the arid region, but some are expected also from beyond the Mississippi river and from Mexico and Canada.
 There is no need of directing the at tention of people living in the arid region to the importance of irrigation in rels- tion to the development of the arid states and territories. Every man who lives in the Rocky Mountains recogniz- es that through the reclamation of the arid lands the prosperity of this part of the Union could be greatly increased, and that its ability to support large propulstion depends in DO small degree upon the extent to which the arid region may be made productive.
 But it is impossible that the people of the adjoining states and territories do not appreciate the importance of send ing delegates to this congress. It Is unfortunate that some of the conventions of this character which have not been as largely attended from other parts Of the Rocky Mountains as they should have been. A closer friendship should be cultivated by tte people Of all the Rocky Mountains with one another, and conventions like the one which assem- bles next month give opportunities for this which should not be neglected. We may expect good attendance from Wy omlng and Utah. Those communities generally are well represented, but the same cannot always be said for New Mexico and Arizona. We hope, how ever, that in this instance both of those territoritories will send large delega- tions.
 Ample preparations are making for the reception and entertainment of delegated, and when the work of the congress is over, excursions will be run to all the principal agricultural and horticultural localities in the state. Thus the delegates will be given oppor- tunities to see what is being done in the way of irrigation in Colorado. They also will see mary scenic attractions which will contribute to make the ex- cursions delightful Republican.

THE IMPERATIVE DUTY OF
 LAWYERS.

WISH to call attention, says Hon. Thomas M. Cooley Tn the September Forum, to an obligation resting upon members of the legal profession, and which think goes quite beyond that which under the same state of facts would rest upon citizen in general. When. as we have lately seen, so-called "industrial armies" dissolve into rowing yagabonds and beggars, the absurdity of their claim and pretences makes them them the subject of contempt and ridi- cule; but if their mischievous doctrines have taken root among any class of our people, and their demoralizing raids up on the industry of the country are likely to be repeated by themselves or by oth- CTS, it is not by thoughtless and COZ temptuous word that the mention of them can be wisely dismiss, d. Espec- ially is this the case as regards the members of the legal profession. A special duty rests upon them to give active and effective aid to established institutions whenever revolutionary doc trines are brought forward, or when the fundamental rights we had supposed were made secure under constitutional guarantees are invaded or appear to be put in peril. The lawyer may very often more effectually support the constitu- tion and laws by assisting to build up pubic sentiment that shall continue an impregnable bulwark against those who through malice or ignorance or with re- volutionary purpose assail them, than 1t would be possible for him to do by per sonal service as soldier, or by aid in the suppression of rebellion or of do- mestic disorder. 1t is a low and very unworthy view any lawyer takes of his of his office, when he assumes that he has nothing to do with public ignorance of the duty of subordination to the in- stitutions of organized society, or with breaches of law existing or threatened, except as he may be called upon to pros ecute or defend in the courts for con- pensation to be paid him.

BENJAMIN HARRISON is in no sense of the word candidate for the republican presidential nomination in 1896. The authority for this statement is second only to that of General Harrison him. self. It comes directly from Gen. T. L.. Kitchener, who-is associated with Col. w. W. Dudley in the practice of law ln Washington, and who managed the Har- rison forces at the Chicago convention of 1888 and the Minneapolis convention of 1892, and who has for many years en- joyed the confidence of General Harri- son without reservation.

GoLDFIELD, Sept. 3, 1894.
 ED. CITIzEN:-Knowing the large cir culation of your valuable paper in Pinsl county we, the undersigned, voters of Goldfeld, ask space ID your columns for the following communication.
 At the republican convention held at Florence the 2Sth of August Goldfield was represented by proxies, as the dele gates were unable to attend. The per son to whom the proxies were given was instructed to use them in securing the nomination of A. Humphries of Flor ence, for district attorney, as it was un- derstood in republican circles he would be the man to fill the office in a proper manner if elected, and if his standing is as good throughout the district as it is in Goldfeld his opponent would have no chance to defeat him.
 In the final ballot at the convention the Goldfield proxies were voted blank, thus defeating MT. Humphries.
 Now we, the citizens of Goldfield, pro- test that We were unjustly dealt with as the precinct, irrespective of party, wish ed Mir. Humphries-to be our next dis trict attorney, as the signatures hereto onpar 6 ad otfoof

SAN FRANCIsCo Sept. 4.-General An tonic Ezeta and his four fellow refugees from San Salvador were brought into the United States district court for ex- animation on extraditIon today. Coun- sel for the defense raised the question as to the courts jurisdiction and urged that the testimony of the officers of the Bennington be taken, that they might show that the prisoners had been prac- tically kidnapped into this country. They claimed that while they had asked tenn porary protection aboard the Benning ton they had subsequently, demanded Go be permitted to leave the gunboat ct La Libertad and also at Acapulco and the demands having been refused they had been forcibly and unlawfully brought to within three leagues of this city and there held merely to make the present case of extradition.
 Judge Morrow declared that the war rants returned by the United States marshal showed that the arrests had been made within his jurisdiction. He said that even if the defendants had been wrongfully detained and brought into United States territory and on a United States man of war it was ques- tion for the government at Washington to deal with and not a question before the court. However, Judge Morrow stated that it might be within the au- thority ot the court to examine into the conduct of the Bennington's officers and on that point he would reserve his deci- sion.

 'On the whole the condition is not good, 10 say the least. Northwest Texas has suffered more than anywhere else in the state except the coast. It is ex- tremely conservative to say the condition is fully 20 per cent worse than on the date of the last report.
