A Letter from Mr. Alfred

To the Democrats of Graham
county, Arizona greeting: We
have always been styled the banner
Democratic county of the Territory
and, although we met with sig
nal defeat in the late campaign, we
were the only county in the Ter
ritory that cast a majority vote for
the Democratic candidate for Del
egate TO Congress, but our majority
was so small that did not feel very
proud of the showing.
Discussions crept into our ranks
which demonstrated the fact that,
"a house divided against itself can
not stand" Now the great ques-
ton that confronts us is, how can
we rally our scattered forces? throw
aside individual likes and dislikes,
and unite on the true principals of
Democracy to bear aloft the banner
(Which is ours by right with such
an increased majority that we may
all feel proud of the outcome of the
next campaign.
l earnestly solicit cooperation
of every true Democrat in the eff
fort to reconcile the differences
that brought disaster to our party,
so that we may again forge to the
front, and forever maintain that
position.
The money question is very
important one, in which all are
interested. Gold and silver coin
age has always been a Democratic
idea, and claim that our govern
ment is able and should adopt the
free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to
l, and maintain it without the con
sent of any power on earth. 1t is q
scource Of regret to me, that after
our four fathers declared their in
dependence and forced England to
acknowledge it, and after one hund-
red and nineteen years of unexcel
ed prosperity, we are unable to
make our own money without the
consent of other nations.
Now | am willing to lay self
a side and work for the success
of the party with all honorable
means. | would rather meet defeat
than to succeed by fraud or any
dishonorable scheming.
If there is any other man better
qualified to unite the party and
lead them on to victory than am,
| will cheerfully resign in his favor
and still be a Democrat. If there
is but six left / am one of them.

THE DUNBAR CASE.

In the issue of Oct. 10th, 1895, the
Arizona Gazette printed an article
in which it characterized the "Gov-
ernor, Secretary Bruce, Marshal
Meade and then attorney general,
Heney, as assassins, hooters, hoo
docs, patronages peddlers and land
grant sharks"
For which Editor Dunbar and
Jas. HI. McClintock, the latter bust
ness manager of the Gazette were
indicated for libel. Then more
was printed, and more arrests fol-
lowed until there accumulated
against the Arizona Gazette COM
pany, no less than eleven charges
upon which the employees of that
paper had to answer.
The result staked up according
to the Gazette about this way:
Dunbar got ten days on one
charge of contempt and sixty days
on another, as well as a few hund-
red fine.
King got thiry days and a fine
of s1CO.
Judge W. II. Barnes, leading
counsel for defendants, got ten days
and 500 fine.
Then habeas corpus was tried.
Judge Baker, of the third judicial
district, released Barnes, but held
Dunbar, who, however, spent about
all of his ten days out of the care
of the sheriff, but was still held un-
der bonds for libel, the trial for
which took place ON the goth inst.
During the time that all these ac-
cusations, arrests and trials were
taking place, it seemed as though
the initial case of libel had been
buried, but, despite all, it scenes
to have retained its life, and on the
goth "got action on ITSELF with all
vigor, when the jury returned a
verdict of guilty and Judge Beth
une fined Editor Dunbar $1,000.

Matchmaking in New Mexico.

In the old Spanish-American days in
the southwest marriage was matter
in which the contracting parties had
little to say, the question of choice and
fitness being settled by the parents of
the couple. The practice has fallen so
much out of date in the present genera
tion that it sounds odd to read now in q
at Guadalupita, N. NJ, in which Mex
lean of sixty-eight years welded Sc
norita of sixteen years, that the com
pensation he was called upon to make
for the difference in their respective
ages was settled at thirty varas of land,
an adobe house and five apple trees,
presumably to be paid to her parents.

MORMON SOCIAL CONDITIONS.
Advantages of Town Life Blended with
the Charms of Rural Existence.

Advantages of Town Life Blended with
the Charms of Rural Existence.
Social changes of a marked char
actcr will be wrought by the oc-
cupation of the arid region. In
this matter also Mormon expert
ence is luminous. Brigham Young
sought to found his prosperity not
only on industrial ethics, but also
upon the happiness of the people.
He would not tolerate idleness,
and the walls Of cobblestone still
in the older portions of
Salt Take City were invented that
the qhuxnh might pay for the labor

i sseTe planned ihDMding the Satur-
day uik<ht dance, led by the bishops
|ofthewards. The leaders wisdom
rs almost as clearly exhibited in
his social scheme as is his plan of
industry. The central idea in 1t
was the farm-vlllage. A village
site, generally half mile square,
is selected in the midst of a tract
of 5000 or 5000 acres to be col
onized. In Utah there are many
small valleys between the tower
ing mountains and the village site
is generally located near the center
Of the valley, and near the river
from which the water is diverted
into canals on each side at suf-
ficient elevation to command the
irrigated lands. The half a square
mile is then laid out into blocks of
four acres, with broad avenues be-
tween, and the blocks are divided
into lots of an acre each. On these
lots the farmers have their homes.
Here also are their commodious
barns. Here they have their poul-
try and swine, while considerable
space is devoted to a market garden.
The farmer then has his farm on
the outlying lands, which are di-
vided into lots ranging from two
up to twenty acres. From the
public park in the center to the
iartherest outlying farm is only
two and half miles. Most farmers
traverse much shorter distance
to reach the farm from their homes.
On the other hand, the women and
children enjoy the important ad-
vantage of having near neighbors,
while the church, schoolhouse,
store, and postoffice are near at
hand. Under this system the ad-
vantages of town life are blended
to very considerable degree with
the charms of rural existance. 1t
is system full of delightful pos
sibilities. The Mormons have re-
allied its substantial advantages in
neighborhood association; but their
model will be much improved
upon by many colonies of more
recent establishment. Farm life
under the old conditions has involv-
ed isolation. The hunger for hui
man sympathy and company has
driven thousands from the country
to cities already overcrowded.
This factor is responsible for many
a social tragedy, as we'll as for the
problems which have arisen in
congested city populations.-1he

SOME SILVER HISTORY.

CndllSe III lne Stanudfu. lnerc
was no open demonstration, no pc
titions to congress and no public
discussion of. the question when
silver was demonetized in 1873.
Only the Shylocks who reaped a
profit at the nations expense knew
the full import of the act at the
time of its passage or, for that mat
ter, till long afterwards.
President Grant was chief execu-
tive at the time and he claimed
that he sig ned the bill without
knowing what he was doing. James
G. Blaine was speaker in the House
and, smart as he certainly was, he
made plea of total ignorance.
Senators and members of the House
have been excusing themselves
since 1878 by declaring that "they
didn't know it was loaded" John
Sherman knew and many others
knew how much their wealth in
creased after the passage Of the
bill however, for the money-barons
did not accomplish this great un-
dertaking without the aid of their
filthy lucre.
Goldbugs declare that the act de-
monetizing silver was several times
printed wildly, published and freely
discussed. There is absolutely
no truth in this claim, as there was
no discussion in either House rela-
tive to the financial question at that
time. 1t was a deed consummated
in the dark and the infamy Of it
was not discovered till the stencil it
caused became unbearable to the
suffering public. The only ques-
tion now is how much longer will
the American people suffer this
crime to go uupunished or allow
the evils which have grown up un-
der it to remain uncorrected.
The original plot came from
London. 1t was conconted on
Lombard street and as usual Wall
street seconed the motion.
Emissaries of the money power
were sent to Washington and in the
lobby did the dastardly work from
which this country has suffered
more or less ever since. 1t matters
not that a republican administra-
ton was in power in 1873 when
the crime Of demonetization was
committed, it was an act which adj
admits of no justification. The

financial question, and its daily in
creasing circulation approves the
wisdom of its course. 1t is essen
tally the free silver paper of Ari-
