The Smallpox Scare.

We felt satisfied last week that
the reports as to the prevalence of
smallpox at Monroe had been great
ly exaggerated. There was only one
case there on the 9th, and in all
there have only been four cases.
Of the four persons who had the
disease, a negro is dead, and two
white persons have recovered. The
Monroe board of health has good
regulations in force. and there is
little danger of any further spread
of the disease. The excessive pre-
cautions taken by the Alexandria
board has caused a good deal of I'M
necessary alarm in central Lousi-
ana, and the citizens of Monroe are
said to be indignant over the yio-
lentrestrictions againstall travellers
from that city.
Reports from Hot Springs also
show that the disease is under con-
troll. Vaccination and cleanliness
gives absolute immunity from
smallpox, and there should be no
terror from this loathsome malady
after proper precautions have been
taken.

Stewart and the Silver Question

IN. o. States.I
Senator Silver Bug Stewart, from
the Mining Camp of Nevada, is OPP
posed to any international adjust
ment of silver. Except it bt on the
basis of Is to l. The Senator will
not be satisfied unless he is permit
ted to dig a dollars worth of silver
bullion out of his mines, run it
through the United States mint and
get two silver dollars for it, which
the Governmental have to redeem
with two gold dollars. Wise, saga
cious, q, most disinterested Stew
art! And the Senator is not to be
blamed. A sharp fellow who can
get so vast an army of fools to up
hold him in such demands, must
not be censured for making them.
We are under obligations to the
staunch old champion of Democra-
cy and ballot reform, Hon. I. s.
Adams, Secretary of State. for a
number of interesting and valuable
public. documents.
Under the caption of "In After
Times" the Meridian News contains
the following able and truthful
article:
CLEVELAND, CARLISLE, WILSON AND
CATCHINGs.
When the history of these troublous
times comes to be written, when the petty
pettifogging politicians have gone theiI
way into obscurity, and tho rant of the
demagogue is forever silencsa, when the
catch words and Probabilities are DC
longer available to obscure the truth, the
patriotism Of such men asrCleveland AM
Carlisle and Wilson and Catchings viii
emblazon the page, and another genera
ton will wonder how their fathers could
he so mad as to traduce such men.
1t is an infallibie law, invariable in it
operation and universal IN its applica
ton, that the individual or nation thai
seeks to procure something for nothing
must eventually come to grief. In ma
tional as individual life, there must b,
an underlying principle of right-doins
or shipwreck must ensue. Those VIII
are seeking to make 50-cent dollar pa,
debt OF 100 cents, either individual O
national, are violating an inherent law O
social and commercial ethics and the,
are precipitating upon the country al
the woes that national discredit brings
The menace of the evil is almost as fruit
ful OF harm as it's actual realization, an,
already our national promise to pay j
discounted at home and abroad.
'But 1t is grateful thing for the coun
try to know that IN spite OF the rant AM
clamor there are stout hearts and stronl
hands at the helm to keep the ship fror
the maelstorm. Through two years q
frantic struggle the truth has held il
own, and when the end OF the strife shal
at last have come, the whole country wi
rise up to bless the men who have averte
national dishonor and bankruptcy"

The Winfield Comrade fatters
itself that Mr.. j. L. Howelrs let
ters about "silver" has dumfounded
and silenced the n. o. Picayune on
this subject! Our neighbor can
take comfort in o mighty slim
showing, when it lays stress on the
fact that a newspaper declines a
contribution on a subject from a
writer who has already ventilated
his views in its columns three or
four times. If the Comrade man
has at all kept up in this contro-
v-rsy, ne can not fail to discover
that the Picayune has completely
refuted each and every proposition
advocated by Mr.. Howell, and SIM
ply declined to further allow him
to use its columns to ventilate his
vagaries and sophistries in support
of an absurd theory. Wait until
the international monetary confer
is held, Bro. Railey, and you will
become greatly enlightened.

CELEBRATION SURE.

Some people still seem to think
that the celebration at Fort Thorn
as is going to be failure. Rumor
is again current to the effect that
the affair is only money MAX
ing scheme, and that after the peo-
pie have gathered at Thomas the
celebration will be thrown off and
thus compel the people to remain
in that place the entire day with
nothing to do or nothing to see.
People call at this Office every day
making inquiries as to the truth of
this statement. From the active
and energetic way in which the
celebration committee is working
to make the 4th of July day OF
fun and pleasure, we feel justified
in saying that the above rumors are
entirely false and only started for
the purpose ofinjuring our Thomas
neighbors. This is the first cele
bration the people of Thomas ever
attempted, and instead of trying to
iniure them, and make them make
failure of the celebration they
should be encouraged and helped
in every possible way. Thomas i;
going to have celebration sure,
and those VINO attend it will have
a gala time.

THE LAND GRANT FRAUD.

The famous Peralta land grant
case was submitted to the Court of
Land Claims at Santa Fe, N. M. ,on
the 18th of this month without ar
gument, and on the 25th the Court
handed down its decision which
declared the grant a fraud and
James Addison Peraltareavis, the
notorious land grabber was imme-
diately placed under arrest.
Thus do we see the cloud which
has hung over the most and best Of
Arizona's agriculture and mineral
lands lifted for ever, and there is
no doubt but that the man who has
robbed the people out of so many
thousand dollars will receive what
he deserves in the courts.
For about twenty-five years has
this man labored and spent the
peoples money to perfect his ras-
cally scheme, but at last it has fall
len to the ground and the people
of Central Arizona can now rest
secure that their homes viii not be
wrenched from them by this land
shark.
