enemy of the public credit. Gold paid no soldier or sailor. It refused the Ma tional obligations. Ii was worth most when our fortunes were lowest. Every defeat gave it increased value. It was in open alliance with our enemies the world over, and all it's energies were evoked for our destruction. But as usual when danger has been averted and the victory secured, gold swaggers to the front and asserts it's supremacy.
 'Talk about an honest dollar! The most dishonest dollar in the world is the one that by steady increase in it's purchasing power enables wealth hour by hour to rob labor. That dollar is essentially, tiendishly dishonest which compels the man who has promised to pay the value of bushel of wheat to satisfy debt to surrender the value of two bushels in order to acquit the claim.
 "A dollar that is daily acquiring & greater command over human labor and it's products, is not honest-it is a footpad. It enables the rich to grind the faces of the poor. It helps the speculator to acquire title to your home for fraction of it's value. It ren- ders it unsafe to contract liability or promise a future payment. It rob3 every producer of wealth who has been compelled to contract debt. It impoverishes the plowholder to fatten the bondholder. This honest dollar that we hear so much about is the greatest cheat and liar on the face of the earth. It is not only fraud and a swindle but an oppressor and a robber. It has compelled the American people to pay the money they borrowed to carry on the war for the Union twice over, and still leaves them vastly more In debt, measured in units of wheat or cotton, than when they made the loan.
 "Tell us that every thief in the pen. itentiary is an honest man, and we will believe it sooner than admit that your gold standard dollar is anything but pickpocket."

A DEAD LETTER.

One by one the idols fall. The con- missioner of immigration law so far as Maricopa county is concerned, is dead letter. The board of supervisors has declined to recognize either the law or the commissioner and in this position the board is upheld by the advise. of District Attorney Millay.
 Notwithstanding threats. the board has remained firm on the side of the people and has refused to appropriate money to maintain an institution created for sinister purpose and not in the interest of the people.
 Now that the law is practically dead throughout the territory, the sum of at least $25,000 has been saved annually to the people; and one of the first acts of the next legislature should be to wipe it from the statute books.
 In the meantime let the boards of supervisors and the district attorneys remain firm in ths determination to protect the public funds and no harm will come from the odious measure.

MORE RAILROADS.
Lincoln Fowler Authorized to
 Build Westward.
Our Victorious Bremen Are Shor1 $179.S5 on Their Late Famous
 Trip to Prescott.

The city council met in special ses- sion last night and granted franchise to Lincoln Fowler, allowing him to build steam, electric or horse rail- road from Five Points westward on the Yuma road for the half mile covered by Neahr's addition.
 This IS the line proposed to open up the country west of Phoenix. Cars are expected to be running by Christmas. The franchise was rather general as at first presented, but City Attorney Evans added restrictions that will properly guard the .city's interests. A petition in favor of the franchise signed by nearly all the settlers out to the Agua Fria, was presented and helped the passage of the ordinance very materially.
 Secretary Bruce Perley. of the cham Der of commerce, made & comprehen- sive statement with reference to the United States weather bureau of Phe- nix.
 It was originally intended that the bureau should be accommodated in the upper story of the city hall, but these quarters at the last moment proved un- suitable. As the city will be greatly benefited and extensively advertised all over the Union by the operations of the bureau here Secretary Bruce induced the council to lease two rooms in the Wharton block for the accommodation of the weather officials. The rental will be $200 per annum and is not to be assumed by the city for more than one year. After that all expenses are to be borne by the general government.
 Manager Evans, of the victorious fire mens' team at Prescott that won every thing and came near being buncoed out of it all. represented that in spite of the great victories won for Phoenix by the fire laddies on the Fourth of July, they were short $179S5 in their ex. penses during the trip. He asked that the city reimburse the iremen who had so nobly carried the Phoenix colors ahead of all competitors. The matter was referred to the city hall and engine house committee to report at the next meeting.
 The election of H. H. McNeil as treasurer of the fire department was confirmed Fifty fremens' exemption certificates were authorized at a cost not to exceed 50 cents each. The coun- cil then adjourned.

A MUZZLED PRESS,

The cartoon on the first page of THE REPUBLICAN this morning fairly H. illustrates the muzzled and subsid- ized condition of the press of the territory. And not only that, but it also shows the brass collar around the territorial administration neck and the hand that holds the string.
 The cartoon tells the whole story. The devil fsh-dragon in the center of the picture holds in his slimy tentacles the administration and in- stitutions of the territory; and has grasped with death-like grip large majority of the newspapers. Those not yet in the monsters slimy grasp are in imminent danger as the tentacles multiply and increase and ravenously glide out from the monster in search of prey.
 There appears to be safety for none. The public institutions and the trea- sury of the territory fail even to satisfy the abnormal desires of the devil fish, dragon. The members of the admins tration are but puppets to serve and obey him. The press is muzzled so that it dare not expose the manner in which the dragon-devil fish saps the life blood of the people. It is rule or ruin and those who will not bow down before the monster must be crushed, no mat ter what the consequences may be to the territory.
 Happily there are few newspapers, ss shown by the cartoon, that are yet free from the tentacles of the monster. These few now have great respon. sibility to bear. Upon them de- wolves the duty of acting as the watch dogs of the treasury. They must ex- pose corruption, boodling and bribery wherever found, and must perform this labor fearlessly and we'll.
 THE REPUBLICAN as one of these lone newspapers is willing and ready to do 1 its share of the work. It will stand up for the people and expose rascality and corruption wherever found, even if it has to move it's office every day. It has enlisted for the campaign and will serve to the end. It is the peoples pa- per and will battle for the rights of the people and for an honest, pure and economical administration of public af- fairs.
 We only ask in return the active and earnest co o-operation of those irrespec- tive of party who believe that public office is public trust ard that the slimy devil fish, dragons, monsters and puppets who sap the life of the people

Warning to the People.

If the territory of Arizona IS not in the hands of a set of robbers, rascals, boodlers, hypocrites, conspirators, and deadly enemies to the interests of the people, and 1 do not assert that such is, the case, then it is in the hands of set of officials whose every act points sus- plciously in that direction. The gov ernor and the members of the board of control may mean to be honest, may mean truth, may mean fealty to the people, but keeping the people in the dark with reference to their doings is certainly not good way of showing honesty, truth or fealty. Letting out contracts, purchasing material, placing insurance. none of these things should be done secretly, at midnight conclaves, in dark holes and corners. They should be done in the open air of every day. Every contractor, every merchant, every business man, every taxpayer, the people, all should have an op. portunity of knowing that their money is being disposed of in an honest and proper manner. Muzzling the entire press of the territory is not good way to down suspicion or to breed con

INGALLS, IS SOUND.

Of all the Republicans of Nationa sepute, none have expressed themselves1 80 strongly on the side ot silver as ex- Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kansas.
 He recently spoke on the financial question in forcible language, which places him in close touch with the people. Said ex. Senator Ingalls,:
 'It (gold) is the most cowardly of all metals. It makes no treaty it does not break. It has no friend it does not sooner or later betrsy. Armies and nayies are not maintained by gold. In sF1nes of panic and calamity, shipwreck snd disaster. It becomes the agent and minister of ruin. No nation ever fought great battle by the aid of gold. On the contrary. in the crisis of the greatest peril, it becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field, but when the battle is won and peace has returned gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory.
 'In our own civil war it is doubtful if the gold of New York and that of London did not work us greater injury than the powder and lead and iron of the rebels. It was the most invincible
