The Secretary of the National Executive Committee of the Irriga- ton Congress, Fred L. Allen, writes to Walter c. Hadley, and says: "Your people are doing a marvel ous lot of good advestising, and you ought to have good results. You certainly have the California idea of making things hum, and l hope you will get your reward in Q very large attendance. The Santa Fe railroad has done nobly in making a rate of one cent a mile on their line. This is exceptionally low."- Alb. Democrat, I. c Edition.

A GREAT many newspapers Tn the Territory, are blowing their horns over the"County ClassificationAct," and the consequent saving to the territory in the reduction of officers salaries. Supposing big railroad corporation had got an act through the legislature whereby passenger iares had been raised to double the present rate, and the act had been passed in the same questionable manner, as the classification act what a virtuous whine ot indigna- ton would go forth, how the legis- lature and the corporation would be denounced. as robbers. bloodsuck- CTS and thieves. Yet, they are par alel cases, it was pusiIanimous ad vantage, and neither the parent of the bill, nor the members who pass ed it will gain any fame or prestige through 1t, (assuming of course they intended the methods adopted in its passage.) Its the duty of q legislator to save all he can to his county, but it should be done in Il legitimate and business like man ner, and not by means that savor more of Horse market, or Chatam street slop shop, than of sedate and wise body of law makers. So those who glorify themselves through it's passage and validity can only take pride in it's effect, brought about through the cunning and sharp practice displayed, and not through any results of benefit that may accrue to the territory or the people.
 It's exquisitely funny, no doubt at all about that; no doubt::eith, T about it saving many dollars to the people, but is it honorable? Don't let the glare of economy (?) blind you to the means through which it was consummated.

1t Will be Q Success.

The territorat commission, hav- ing in charge the holding of thu Fourth National Irrigation Con- gress in Albuquerque, is doing ex- celent work, and the congress, so far as attendance and utility are concerned bids fair to he a great suc- cess. Much iud ci u' advertising is being done by the commission. especially in eastern Colorado, Utah, Kansas and Nebraska papers. and the newspapers in New Mexico are giving the enterprise noble support.
 About forty prominent citizens of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Kan sas and Nebraska have been inyit- ed t. attend the congress and de- liver addresses appropriate to the matters before it, and while it can not be expected thnt all will attend. some of them will, and as they are men of national reputation, their attendance will rebound to the benefit of the territory The presence of regular delegates promises to be a good one, and the low rates al. ready made by the Atchinson, and to be made by the Denver & Rio Grande. bid fair to attract large crowds of sightseers, and of farm CTS and others who are desirous of change of location. The territor- ial exhibits will, from all indica- tioDs, be the best ever shownin the territory. No section of this terri tory can afford to be unrepresent- ed.-Los Vegas Optic.

Ihe Climate of Yuma.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as We believe, in the world, and dur ing the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in midsummer may at times rise above 100 degrees, and occasionally even reach no degrees. yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The at mosphere is pure, light and talmy. When the mercury marks the high est extreme of heat, a person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in Eastern States when the mercury is ranging from 80 to sod. The air is so dry that perspir- ation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body. and at no time in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.- Yuma Sentinel.

A LESSON FROM FRANCE.-A reader
OF the STANDARD, who takes a deep
interest in the monetary situation,
calls attention to the French system
Of financial economics. The circula-
ton is based upon reasonable per
capita coinage, which is paid out in
silver or gold at the option of the gov.
eminent. That government is on a
true bimetal basis. 1t pays its paper
in gold and silver in such proportions
as to prevent raids upon the Treasury.
The speculator cannot cause a panic
there by taking basketball of paper
to the Treasury and drawing out q
CARLOAD of gold, knowing that on
presentation of any large amount OF
paper for redemption he must expect
a wagon-losd of silver for every wheel
barrow-load Of gold. The French
financiers wisely retains the paper in
circulation and the people get not
only the benefit of tine gold and silver,
but they likewise derive benefit from
the paper money, which is not boarded
there for assaults upon the Treasury.
This results also in a benefit to the
banks, rs they can freely circulate
their money in country where
money of all kinds has stability which
cannot be materially lessened by
speculation.

SYMPATHY FOR 4 MURDEREK-A
remarkably prcconcerted effort is be-
ing made by Germans all over the
United States to save Craemer, con-
victed at Seattle for the murder of
Mrs. Mueller and her babe, some
months ago in that city. This move
ment extends as far East as Pennsyl-
vania, and finds expression through
the many secret societies for which
our foreign population have such re-
markable prediction. As the date
for execution, Nov. LIST, draws near, the
demand for Gov. McGraw to interfere
becomes more persistent and de-
termined. 1t is noted, however, that
this sympathy from the condemned
mans countrymen comes almost en-
tirely from abroad, and where the
facts which led to his conviction are
least known. Very few of the Ger
mans OF Seattle, have joined in this
demonstration, which indicates that
the sympathy abroad is based upon
something besides belief in Craemer's
innocence.

Hazard, the politician who is "out OF

before the public, in some way or
another. At late meeting OF Custer
Post G. A. r. Of Tacoma, of which he

ton providing for committee to
memorabilia Congress for the passage
OF law removing the distinction be-
tween Federal and Confederate veter-
ans. SO far as applies TO their admis-
sion to the National Soldiers Home.
The resolution has aroused consider
able opposition, although it is admit
ted that Hazard has earned a right
to advocate it by service in the Union
army during the rebellion, of which
experience no still carries a memento
in the shape OF rebel lead.

The petition upon which the appeal

THE Olympian makes an excellent
suggestion to insure the maintenance
of the free delivery system OF postal
matter in this city. 1t is based upon
a revenue OF $4,000 annually, and in
these hard times it is likely to fall
considerably short OF that amount I'M
less some means is devised for main
tanning it. In some cities, small re-
mittances are made in stamps to Sc
cure larger showing of business for
the local office, and where this is done
surprising augmentation of revenue
is reported. 1t costs nothing, and in
fact saving is made in postal or ex-
press order fees, when remittances are
made in that way.
