Cries of ''fOuP' not allowed, Carter caught Woods in the neck knocking him down, frst knOckdown for Carter.

THE SILVER CAUSE.

Again the great wave of European news, both British and German, bears upon its crest the one word, bimetallism.
 At the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London was held Wednesday the annual meeting of the bimetsllc the leader of the conservative party. Rt. Hon A. J. BalfCur. His address was an elaborate argument for the restoration, unequivocal and complete, of silver as ID oney metal. A few years ago bi- metallism Has denounced Dy the econo- mists of England as absurd. The sheer has gone from their lips now, and many of them are warmly in favor of 1t. The finsnciers in New York and elsewhere who turn up their trousers when it rains iu London will pelase make note of this change in fashion.
 It Is difficult to realize the immense importance of this stand taken by Bal four. A determined effort is being made in thls country to make it appear that silver belongs to the half civilized na- tions and the less enlightened portions of the United States. But here We have the leader of the aristocratic party 1T England delivering an address in the official residence of the lord mayor ot London, telling his audience that silver must be restored.

pleasure to state that in my varied and many transactions with him I always found him honest and possessed of sterling integrity. He bore a1 envi- able reputation for upright dealing and was a model iu the way of economy and industry In his dealings with men he was fair and just but exscting his full dues and measure. He was of kind and charitable disposition, and gave lIberally, not ostentstiOnely, and many an orphan child and sorrOwing widow bless him for kindly acts and generous benefactiOns. To his friends hs was devoted and true To those who, had done him sn injury he was unforgiving and implacabie. He was a brave and true man and many we'll attested events prove that he was ever ready to defend not only his own rights but those of his friends.
 His life Is a lesson for our junior pioneers to remember as one of a band Of brave, true, and tried men who in early days by thelr efforts and heroic deeds made fife, success, and prosperity possible m Arizona, though many fell in the struggle by The hands of the murderous Apache.

The roll of membership of the Society of Arizona Pioneers has again been lessned, the ranks of those who gather beneath its standard once mora deceased the death of AlphOnse LaZard diminish es the member of that brave and manly band that ventured CD the frontier, faced its dangers, understood its tolls and experienced it's privatIons.
 The records of the society should convey some note of this fact.
 It IS but just to him who was imbued with invaluable pride at the part he took in the early settlement and primary building up of the territory, that we should cite this in his behalf; It is much that in consulting the character of the deceased we should give recognition to the qualities he possessed-plainess and directness, physical and moral courage, honesty, generosity and charity.
 1t IS no empty phrase that describes him as having been 8 'friend to the poor and needy" one ever ready to re- spond to the calls of the unfortunate. To all Of us he has long been known, with many of US he has been closely associated, and we can attest his worth as a citizen, his honesty as a man, his fidelity as a friend, and in making hIs brief mention of his good qualities and offering this expression ds a slight tribute to the memory of our deceased associate, we but accord recognition to the events that entitle him to our regard wElle he was with us, and now that he has gone over to the great silent majo- rIty will induce him to Oe kept bright in our recollections.

IT is rather amusing after our long wait for a rise in beef and range cattle to read of the intention ot the secretary of agriculture Investigating the matter, to see if the rise has been brought about unlawfully. We can hardly blame the secretary for thinking there is some thing wrong in Denmark, inasmuch as cattle raisers have been ground down in prices until the proverbial Arizona bean could not be counted upon as sure diet. The best days Tucson ever saw was when vast amounts came ln from the sale of cattle and If the present rise in prices continues, good times will be thrust upon us again by the fat checks for Arizona steers, and the democratic secretary of agriculture need not lie awake nights.

REPRESENTATIVE MARSHAL of Mari copa county, was one of the men in the late legislature who entered into a com- binatiou with the Pima representatives for the purpose of preventing county seg- gregation the removalof public buildings or interference with judicial districts, and he is one of the men whom his fel- low compatriots never cease to eulogize for hls answering loyalty to his pledges
 On the prison removal bill every effort possible was made to induce him to break faith and vote for the removal oi the prison, which undoubtedly offered advantages to Maricopa county. but Marshal was not made of such material
 He was strong of mind, stalwart of fframe and unimpeacbable of character. He had gwen the word of man and as a man he respected and kept it. Maricopa county has DO better citizen than J. A
 Marshal. He is a credit to any state.
