THE Arizona democracy is making history. It may not be just such as we sil would like to record for the future, blt they are making it to order ard on short notice.-GaZette.
 The democrats are making history but the compilation will be done by re- publicans. The National Repu blican committee has signifed its willingness to publish as a campaign document in Ari- zona, the charges now on file in the de- partment at Washington against the several leaders of the party in the terri tory. By this means the people will be privileged to see sketch of the demo- cracy from the brush of its own masters. Beyond the preface, which will give the purport and intent of the work, there will be no comments, but history will be given .'as she is writ'' and we can assure our fellow citizens, from the extracts it has been our privelege to examine, that, it will make mlghty interesting reading. It is the purpose of the compilers to follow copy in punctuation and spelling and the more important documents will be Autographed. But won't she be 8 beaut

THE INDIAN SITUATION.

The Silver Belt has sn editorial favor ing precautionary measures in regard to to the San Carlos Indians, which we think 1t would be we'll for the military authorities to give heed. No man in Arizona more thoroughly understands the Indian situation than Judge Hack ney, the senior editor of the Belt. He has lived on the frontier more than the average life of man, and is familiar with every Indian movement that has taken place iu New Mexico and Arizona within the past forty years, and when he raises a note of warning in should be hearken- ed to. He says:
 Certainly, the times were never more favorable than the present for a disas- trous Indian outbreak. The relinquish- ment of San Carlos as an important post, following the abandonment of Forts Thomas and Bowie, has left military force in southern Arizona ridiculOusly inadequate to cope with hostile Indians in the event of revolt, which the gov ernment has invited by the niggardly treatment of its red wards"

THU UNIT OF VALUES.

The controversy as to whether gold or silver was the unit of values from IIS2
 to 1892 tend to confuse the public mind.
 A recognized unit of values essential to
 to the establishment of monetary system.
 Given the dollar unit, there might be tens and hundreds of units in halves, quarters and so op. The unit would have no necessary return to the money
 metal constituting the dollar. That might be gold, silver, copper or other metal as congress might determine. But after deductiDg the dellar the unit congress declared that there should be silver dollars and gold dollars to be coined in a given ratio, either the gold dollars containing the required amount of gold of standard fineness, or the silver meeting the same requirements, was in effect If not in law unit of values up to 1877. But the financial policy of the government should be considered as much with view to what was the unit of value as to what is now best for the F. Bulletin.

CHILE's currency convention law will create market for some of the surplus silver that has kept the market prices down. The Chile law provides for re- turn to specie payment on a gold and silver basis. All the proceeds from the sale of nitrate beds are to be devoted to the purchase of silver. The silver coin will not be legal tender above $50, but the government will receive silver as the equivalent of gold. At the mint the coin of the two metals will be inter changeable. The fact that the govern ment receives silver for all dues will prevent depreciation as 8 result of its legal tender power. In fact, this limit may have been designed to prevent the inconvenience of payment of large debts in silver coin Chile is the most progress sive of South American countries and is quite likely to establish the financial standard that will eventually be adopted as specie basis is reached.

A story IS told of a travelling genius from local house on the east bound train few days since. Shortly after entering the car he observed an unpro- tected box of cigars on seat near him. After lnterrogatlng a fellow traveller as to the probable ownership of the "Ha- banas .puros" he said Il guess I takes dem." Suiting the action to the word he opened his valise, dumped the cigars in and thew the empty box under the seat of Tucson man No ?, and who does not smoke. Having done this be pro- ceedod to the next car to enjoy the frag- rant fumes of one of his newly acquired treasures. He had just gone when from the opposite end of the car came the rightful owner of the cigars. Upon missing them he bluntly inquired for the blankety blank blank that had taken them. As he was a big, burly fellow it was deemed judicious to know nothing of the affair whatever. but the non- smoking Tucsoner admitted wish to be elsewhere when he remem bered that the empty box was under his seat. After sundry uncomplimentary remarks in reference to the parantage of the thief he passed on and into the smoker where the real culprit sat enjoying his fumes. While there he met friend to whom he related the story of his loss and expressed a desire to meet the string of blanks who had appropriated his property. The mans looks and de- clsratIons took the aroma out of the "Victoriana," but the smoke ring manu- facturer looked out of the car window and kept mum. Later in recounting his experience to the man who overshad- owed the empty box he said ''Py cally I vas afraid he vud schmell dat smoke and den ware vud per"

THE Memorial Day committee of the G. A. R. posts in San Francesca has sent a letter to Mayor Sutro, requesting that the the flag on the city buildings and in the city parks be displayed at half mast on May Both. The mlnd, says the Vir ginia City Enterprise, that associates grief and gloom with the ceremonies of Memorial day entirely misconcieves the object of this national holiday. Lower ing flags to half mast, muffiing drums and wearing crape on the arm or upon badges are signs of sorrow and lamenta- tion for the dead. Rather should Amer
 jeans rejoice that in the years of the copntry's peril men were found who offered up their lives in its defense. The flowers strewn upon pa triots' graves are not symbols of grief, but of joy and gratitude. After 8 sol dier is once buried the funeral note IS out of tune. When the farewell volley has been fired and the last tattoo sound ed his comrades march back to their quarters to lively music. Let the flags hutter to the breeze on every Memorial day, but not in token of sorrow. At the peak they will best mbolize the senti
 ment that honors the fallen brave.

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.

The dissenting opinions Of Justices Harlan, Jackson and Brown in the in- come tax case before the supreme court, offers much food for reflection and the average American citizen will bestlr himself for a remedy for an evil that plainly exists. From the beginning we were opposed to an income tax, but we never doubted fer moment the ability of the nation through its representatives in congress to impose ohe, but if this power is denied by the constitution the sooner the constitution is amended the better. AS it now stands the tremend- uous power of money can hold the law aloof and impose the burden of taxation on the great mass of individuals not so fortunately circumstsnced.
 Justice Harlan said:
 "Jn my judgment the decision strikes at the very foundations of national au- thority, in that it denies to the general government a power which IS or may at some time in great emergency, such as that of war, become vital to the pres- ervation or existence of the union. It

THERE OUGHT TO BE.

OURS is a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" Under our system we have wards which 1t is our duty, as government, to pro tect and provide for to the exteDt that they do not want for the necessaries of life through our neglect. The frontiers man, those brave horny handed men and women who know not the meaning of fear, who are always found in the van of higher civilization, aud who make if possible for the weak and timid to fol- low and enjoy the fruits of their labor, should have the constant and uncees- ing care of government such ss ours. The Apache Indians are warlike peo ,ple, and are liable to break out at any time and for the most trivial cause, and our people, in all fairness and justice ehoald receive all the protection that a just government could give. Fort Hua- chuca, one of the most important mili- tary posts in this department, and sit uated on the immediate trail of this h. dians leading from San Carlos to Mexi- co, offers but very light protection to the taxpeying cit;Zsns of tn s section of the country, for he reason that there is not now, nor has there been for months, a single company of cavalry stationed there. There are soldiers there, it is true, but they are infantry, and would offer just as much protection to the settlers in the event of an out break, as reed shanty would give to it's inmates in the track of a cyclone. There ought to be at least two companies of cavalry at this pest, and the attention of our delegate. MT. Murphy, is respect fully called to this fact, and his aid is invoked in behalf of this people.-Pros- pector.>

Jog ScoTr, "the senator from Pima, !" has hard row to hoe for favor with the democratic press of the territory, for the reason that their moribund lights are divided on his good qualities. The Star, "the leading democratic paper in Arizona," is decidedly 'fernenst" the Hon. gentleman, but the Gazette, "the leading democratic newspaper iu Arizo> na," is as lsudstory as the Star is con- demnatory. About the only thing for Joe to do is to join the republican party, where h,s abilities and good qualities will be appreciated. To be good dem- ocrat in Arizona these days man must tote water on both shoulders and this feat, with all hls accomplishments, Joe has yet to learn.

A True Hero

Is the individual who smiles with ap- parent cheerfulness during an attack of rheumatism. "If such there be" we never met him nor her. An agonized grin is the nearest approach to cheer
 fulness of aspect we ever beheld under such circumstances. But when Hostet- ter's Stomach Bltters has repelled-as it certainly will-the earlier attacks of this formidable disease, the quondam sufferer has good reason not alone to smile, but to give vent to hearty guffaws interspersed with frequent chuckles. To the removal of dyspepsia, malarial and kidney complaints, constipation and disorder of the liver, the Bitters is spe- cially adapted. It renews failing strength and appetite, and counteracts the infirmities of age. When debilat- ing malsdies are succeeded by tsrdy with danger of relapse, It eccelerates gain ID vigor and flesh, and tends to re-establish health on 8 lasting basis. Give it suitable trial.

The San Xavier Mission.

The San Xavier mission repairs under
 the direction of sub-Agent Berger are making sspid progress. The first work
 was stone foundation under the front
 of the building. That was followed by cementing the outside of the great dome in the rear of the church, which is now
 being completed, making it rain proof.
 The work is now being done on the cop ings on the walls of the church, which are being restored in the same ehape as the original, though not ornamented. The appropriation for the purpose, Sl000, IS not sufficient for more than the most needed repairs. However the work on the coping is in the form of the original, ard the embellishments may be continued in the old form.
 The repairs embrace no alterations. Everything Mir. Berger is having done Is in the wa? of restoration. All the old beauties of the place are being preserved. The next work will be on the completed tower. The work at the apex is consid- cred perilors, and special masons have been engaged for the work. The old hand hammered copper cross that fell back but still clings will be restored to place, and the brick and plaster of the tiny tower tt at have stood the storms of centuries will be strengthened and re- newed where they have fallen away. Some cement work will also be done within the unfinished tower The most important work will be on the roof of the church. The roofs have leaked to the damage of the marvellous interior paintings ard frescos. Then, too, the rain on the roof Imperils it's strength. owing to its peculiar construction, where the roof is Its own suppoTt-a series Of domes of brick with not a beam about it. Should this mortar holding the domes together be softened the great roof would come crashing in.

FOSTERS FORECAST.
Weekly Weater Bulletin.
Copyrighted, 1895, by W. T. Foste

Copyrighted, 1895, by W. T. Foster. ST. JOSEPH, Mo. May 18-My last bull
 letin gave forecasts of the storm wave
 to cross the continent from 21st to 25th
 and the next will reach the Pacific coast
 about 36th, cross the west of Rockies
 country by close of 27, the great central
 valleys 18th to 3Oth and eastern states 3lst.
 This disturbance will develoy very considerable energy with severe local storms, high winds and heavy rains in small districts.
 Warm wave will cross west of Rockies country about 26th, great central valleys 18th, and eastern states Both. Cool wave will cross west of Rockies country about 29th, great central valleys 31st and eastern states June 2d.
 My next bulletin will give general forecasts of temperature and rainfall of June for the nine crop districts of the United States.
 Although these long range forecasts Of average monthly temperatures and rainfall are giving general satisfaction the calculations on which the rainfall is based are not yet complete. I expect to have them complete in time for the July forecast.
 By the above do not mean that they will be perfect but as near so as can make them for 1895 weather. The cal culations for 1896 will be much more complete and will more fully indicate the real value of my new discovery as to temperatures and rainfall.
 All calculations in temperatures in- dicate that east of the Rocky noun talns April and May will prove to be comparatively the warmest months of 1895. Not in all the districts but taking that section of country as a whole.
 In the vicinity of Charleston, South Carolina, July and November promise the greatest excess of temperature. December is to be a very cold month everywhere east of the Rockies and September will generally average below the rormal.
 have not gone far enough in the to ascertain the character of next winter but December will cer- tainly be very cold and it is now mat ter of great interest to know what the three months, January, Feb ruary and March, will be. I expect to | be able to give this information in my bulletin of June 29th.
