Preserve Coconino's Attractions.

In Volume A, proceedings of the American Forestry association, appears the following:
 In northwestern Arizona has been formed the Grand Canyo Forest Re serve. 1t is quadrangular in shape, and has an estimated area of 2.S93 square miles. The Colorado river flows through it. entering at the north east. It embraces the most striking features of the Grand and Marble can yoas, also Il considerable portion of the kaibab plateau, and on its southern portion the Coconno forest. The re- ginn has already become famous for it's gigantic and impressive scenery. It will take high rank among our great natural parks. The heavy forests of pine and tir which cover the source of streams. important to the irrigation interests of the territory, should be prutsrtcd:

THE democracy is now in sore straits. So is the country. Cleveland thought that the income tax would soon fill the cotters of the treasury which were emptied by the Wilson bill, but the su- preme court has ruined his calculations and now the nation. as well as it's citi- zens, are bankrupt. By the decision just handed down, the two most pro- life sources of revenue created by the law have been declared unconstitu. tional. The man working on a salary can be taxed. but bondholders and the possessors of rent-rolls are exempt. As result, the next congress will have . deficiency to meet which will be appalling.

UNLESS this town commences to move. it will lose one of its laurels.
 For several years now, Flagstaff has held the biggest Fourth of July cele- bration in Arizona. Not step has been taken this year toward maintain ing the prestige we have gained in this respect, and if action is not commenced soon. some other place will step in and usurp our rights. Prescott is already making efforts to get up an attraction that will eclipse anything ever before seen in this country. This community cannot afford to have that done. The citizens should polish up their patri- otism little, call meeting and pre- pare to whoop things up for twenty four solid hours on July 4. The blow out should be on grander scale than has ever been attempted in the past,
 and one that will bring in visitors from

ANOTHER INSULT UNREBUKEl

ANOTHER INSULT UNREBUKED.
 Great Britain has taken advantage of the spinrless condition of the pres ent United States administration and is now trying to run things in Latin America This country was never in a m ire deplorable condition, A dem ocratic congress has made most of its citizens destitute, and depleted the national exchequ-r, and president of the same party and foreign proclivities has permitted the Stars and Stripes 10 bs insulted with impunity. George Washington either possesses more pa tience than Jon ever did ar else he is now lying face downward in his grave. When Spain fired on an American yes sel she stood pat. and the bluff went. Cleveland did not have enough patriot ism to insist on reparation. England ia now running things with high hand in Latin America, and when the Monroe doctrine was interposed as a veto to her actions, she had the ef- froutery to declare that doctrine is too antique to be used in these modern times, and as yet nothing further has been done to stop her unlawful en croachments upon South American territory.
 The Monroe doctrine. which d eclares that no foreign country shall forcibly assume control of any land or goveru- ment in America without the consent of this country, is good one. and has always been recognized heretofore by other powers.
 The United States should continue its maintenance in the face of any and all opposition. It is one of the bul warks of American liberty. and if it falls, the stability of free institutions will receive shock which may event. ually prove fatal.

DON'T DISGRACE ARIZONA.

The board of control contemplate putting convict labor to work on the reform school grounds. Every homes, man in the community should rise up and object, for such an action will give free labor blow below tho belt and do untold injury to Flagstaff. The citizens of this town should not allow territorial prisoners to do any thing which will take the bread out of the mouths of decent men. The hard times caused by the national demo- cratic party has thrown enough men out of work and the democrats in power in Arizona should hesitate a long time boforo making conditions worse by letting criminals force law abiding citizens into idleness. The men who will he supplanted by the convicts have for the most part been idle all winter and neod the employ ment.
 Prison labor should never be al- lowed to compete in the regular chan uols of trade and most states have ac. knowlcdged tho justness of this fact ny proper legislation. In ignoring it Arizona is going backward. Not only will she financially injure the people within her borders ny doing so. but she will become a byword and re- proach throughout the country.
 Governor Hughes and the rest of the board of control should take heed and avoid committing such fatal error, before they cast an indelibe blot on the good name of rhe territnry,

THE citizens of Flagstaff can show their appreciation of American iusti- tutions in no better way than by turn ing out en masse at the laying of the corner stone of the new schoolhouse next Monday afternoon.

 Deputy Sheriff Tom Drum is circu- lating petition to the secretary of the interior to suppress wanderers from the reservation of northern Arizona.
 It is claimed that the red men are devastating this part of the country of game, in direct violation of the laws of the territory, and with the consent of the Indian agents. One instance is cited where party of Navajoes went into the Mogol!On noun aims last No vcmber and remained until January, lilling 376 deer, 1l5 turkeys and an untold amount of small game.
