A GOOD deal has been said of

candidacy for the Arizona govern

FALL INTO LINEi

The above caption is not a COM
mand, but a suggestion. 1t refers
to no particular community, but
Grant county at large.
Grant county, with its vast
wealth in developed and undevel-
oped mines, it's countless cattle,
and hundreds of acres of land de-

the opportunity which will soon
present itself to show to the world

wealthiest counties in this terri
tory. Such is her claim and she
can sustain it.
The National Irrigation Con-
gress and Territorial Fair will be
held at Albuquerque during the
week beginning September 10th.
These two events will not only
draw from every portion of the
Territory and neighboring states
and territories, but it is expected
that representatives from nearly
every state and territory in the
union will be present. The sub
ject of irrigation is certainly one
which appeals to every man in
Grant county who has the interests
of the development of the County
at heart. With a system of irri-
CATION such as is possible to devise
and make practicable in Grant
County would increase our wealth
ten fold. This can only be ac-
quired through persistent aglta-
ton. To SIT idly by and declare
our necessities without making an
effort to procure them will
profit us nothing. What we want
is action.
In addition to what we may be
able to accomplish IN time for irri
cation, there is also another fea.
ture of this event which must b'
taken into account. That we hav,

HARYEY,S CLAIMS STANp.

FL y OLAlMH DlANDs
Chicago, Aug. S.-Following is
the summing up of the Harvey
Horn debate made by Mr.. Har-
vey:
THAT gold and silver are the
money of the constitution. MI.
Horn did not %controvert this, and
1 left it with Daniel Webster's
statements to that effect.
2-That the silver dollar was
the unit of value in our coinage
system fixed by the act of 1872.
Mr.. Horn admits this. See pages
SO and 81, official report.
3-That both silver and gold
were the measures of value of
property until 1873, and the debt
or had q right to pay Ill either
metal. See Mr.. Horr's answer to
Mr.. Motsinger on page 100.
4-That the act of 1873 was sur
reptitiously passed.
What Garfield, Blaine and 9TH
ers said on this subject will be
found in the congressional records
during the discussion to which
my other references given in de-
bate will direct the reader. A let
ter from ex-Attorney General
Pierrepont, under Pres. Grant, to
Hon. George Merrick, Denver,
Colo, stating that Gen. Grant told
him he was deceived by the act of
1873, is in my possession and 1
will cause it to be printed and cir
culated.
5-That for all time of which
we have knowledge, gold and sill
yer were treated equally as money.
Both had a right to enter the
minis in all the countries of the
world until 1916, when England
closed her mints to silver, and
1873-74, when the United States,
Germany, France and the Latin
Union followed. And until 1873
IA the commercial values of the
two metals were substantially on
a parity with the legal ratio. That
this condition made both metals
available for use as primary mon
ely, and the demand for primary
money was relieved by the volume
of both metals.
That prices of all property are
now measured in gold alone and
are substantially at the present
time one half what they would be
under the bimetallic system. Mr.
Horn frequently in debate makes
this admission.
There were $143, 900, 900 il
silver coined in our minis prior tC
1853, all of which coined prior tC
1858 was primary money, anc
since 1853 the silver dollars were
primary money, and by virtue o.
the right Of silver to be coined
into primary money, through the
system of silver dollars, the whole
system was exerting its influence
as a measure of value and stood
ready to be coined, and to share
equally with gold the demand FOL
! money. That all silver coineC
since February II, 1873, has beef
token money, representing gold
is not exerting an influence al
measure of values and is not per
forming the functions of primary
money.
;. 81 believe those who read anC
carefully digest the debate will
conclude that 1 have made goo,
all the propositions set forth il
my opening statements. That MI
Horr found no errors in Coin
Financial School except the state
ment in page 9, where it stateC
that the silver coined prior to 1877
was Sl02, 100000, which We boil
agree should read Sl43, 100000

tions are the results of bad train
ing of emotions; that to arise
from chair and to sit down in
one gracefully is to be only learned
by practice and thought; to walk
like angels, and bow as only lady
should is an art; and all a manner
or mode of gymnastics that every
woman ought to know.
Now to have the bloom of health
and hold the key to that health is
to learn how to breathe.
Whatever may be said to the
contrary, Deep Breathing is the
key to health and strength. There
are, to day, schools in Germany for
the cure of consumption by deep
breathing.
A great many people are indif-
ferent or too indolent to breathe
properly, and then they lay to

GYMNASTICS FOR WOMEN

UNNECESSARY.
Women Must be Graceful and
Healthy and Strong, but not
Hard as Iron.
Written for Sundays LIGHT:

Written for Sundays LIGHT:
Science has demonstrated that
nutrition, to develop healthy
body, can only come through the
activity of the body.
That food is only attracted to
maintain healthy body by eXer-
else.
That muscular activity must
take place, that the system may
draw into its organic life the nu-
triton necessary to maintain it,
and what is not thus truly "assimi-
lated" as physicians say, is lost as
waste.
That effete matter should be-
thrown off by exercise is also an
other self evident fact. But we
can go on forever laying down
axioms and quoting rules, and still
not make it plain how to live by
rule and not run in the ruts of
the "has beens', "or be forever a
"crank," an invalid and torture
to ones self and everybody else.
The BODY IN GENERAL
1t should not be lost sight Of,
begins, to decay as soon it is not
exercised sufficiently, but over-ex-
ercise, it is equally true, will de-
stroy by force the supporting It's
sues Of the bones and muscle s..
With women, violence ought to
be avoided at all times. In wo-
mans work, there ought to be made
every preparation to have the chair
near at hand, let that working
place be in her own home, or in
the store, counting house, shop or
office every moment not necessary
for the girl or woman to stand at
her work, she ought to be allowed
to sit down to rest the limbs that
help to hold the weight of the
body, as we'll as to carry it about,
and every overstrain weakens the
organs of maternity, and not alone
brings torture to the weakened one
herself, but it destroys the future
health Of the unborn.
Now this brings us to the pith
Of Our article, Gymnastics for wo-
man. This word ought to mean to
all women what Nature meant it to
be, labor; not of unremitting
mental toll, but a performance of
the strong and light duties of work
in order to balance and stimulate
the muscular growth.
"Work is noble;" noble lady
can perform it and grow in soul
and become a queen in health and
strength; neglect it, and they sink
into ennui and die as one of the
Astors did lately in London, with
nothing to do for a disease.
To those who have a desire for
perfect embodiment of the physical
nature, and no light work to bring
that stimulant to the blood to keep
it moving vigorously, we could not
recommend the athletic regime in
dulged by boys and men; even
the great dumb-bell exercises, for
the reason they are too severe,
and only inc: ease and harden the
bones and muscles, where in wo-
men they ought to be strong and
elastic, not coarse and vulgar, as in
men.
The women of Greece and Rome
were beautiful in health, grace and
form. They cultivated their talents
not as athletes but as gentle
women. In our day, we have had
a Delsarte, who taught us that we
must not jump, as that is too vio-
lent; thatwe must be taught steadi-
ness, energy and smoothness in
every movement, that all jerky mo-
