f
 having the welfare of the country at heart expect both to be defeated anyway.
 If the majority in Congress could lay aside partisanism long enough to knock out the Wilson no-tariir bill, and then pass a silver coinage bill, they would not only do the very best thing for the country, but would do the best thing possible to strengthen their party.
 The St. Louis Globe Democrat which was led finto publishing a lot of charges against Governor Hughes of this territory, instituted an investigation afterwards, and not only corrects the statements first published, but speaks in very compli- mentary terms of our governor.
 The government of the United States has already recognized the provisional government of Hawaii. by recognizing Mir. Thurston as it's representative. Also the civilized governments of the world have done the same thing, most of whom have ministers, or other representa- tives at the islands.
 Silver is as much the money of the constitution as gold. The soon CT our statesmen at Washington realize this fact, the sooner will they be able to solve the financial question satisfactory to the people, and m way that will secure the greatest prosperity to our country.
 What, with its no-tarif on im- ports bill, its no money in the treasury, and constantly decreasing volume of revenues, and it's un- successful attempt to buldose the provisional government of the Sandwich islands to turn their government to its deposed queen, the present administration finds itself in sore distress.
 So it was by mistake that Secre- tary Morton's speeches were dead headed through the mails as official business! There seems to have been several mistakes connected with Mir. Morton's official life, and the great est one was made when he was se- lected for secretary of agriculture.
 Nero iddling while Rome burned wasn't ''in it. with the indifference with which the wage-earners of the south see themselves degraded by those they have elected to congress, many of them realize that shackles will be placed upon them by the Cleveland tariff bill, but they lack the moral courage to publicly pro test.
 Ii 1t be true that President Cleve- land, through his minister Willis, has demanded the provisional gov ernment of Hawaii to disband and turn the government over to the queen, and if the provisional gov ernment refuses, which it has already done, the next step of Gro | yer the lst Is to compel the said | government to do so. This is war, and that, too, without the sancti on of Congress.
 The most harmless didn't know it-was-loaded-gun" was the one that Minister Willis aimed at the provis- ional government of Hawaii. It did not hurt the provisional gov ernment any, but the recoil upset, not only Willis himself, but his SUI perior officers who charged the weapon before placing it in his hands, Cleveland and Gresham.
 The only person in Arizona who has shown any gold bug tendencies is Thomas E. Parish. The only i paper in Arizona thathas published | any gold bug arguments is our esteemed contemporary, the Courier. which put Farish's views in print | and made them public. It how ever disclaimed any endorsement of | the views entertained by Parish. Arizona is for silver, first, last and | all the time.
 Our cotemporary, this morning | advocates the election of W. A. Clark, of Butte, Montana, owner of the United Verde copper mines at Jerome, as United States senator from Arizona. MT. Clark is an able, enterprising man and would make a good senator for Arizona. With J. c. Herndon and W. A. Clark in the senate, Arizona could hold her own with any State in the Union.
 The Phenix Gazette shows symptoms of commencing a cam paign of mud and filth against Ex-Governor Murphy and members of his territorial administration. The blackmailing tactics pursued by the above paper against Cover nor Hughes and his administration will meet with no better success, if almed at republican officials. The people of Arizona thoroughly un- derstand the motives of the Ga zette, and the days of successful blackmailing have forever gone in this territory.
 The following from the Salt Lake Tribune expresses exactly the JOURNAL MINERS view on the subject treated; If MT. Gresham is to blame for leading the President into that Hawaiian scrape, then he ought to be fired out of office. If he is not
