Property within the city limits is
too high-priced to be utilized as resi-
dence property, when better and mere
comfortable homes can be secured in these
beautifully situated additions at a small
cost. The man who cares to investigate
the future growth Of Phoenix and vicin-
ity will readily come to the conclusion
that within the next six years its popu-
lation will reach 10000 or $4,000, and in
order to accommodate this pushing bus
thing throng business houses, as we'll as
residences, will seek the additions here
mentioned, and their cash value thereby
be enhanced tenfold. The

ELK1Ns AND HIS 1LK.

United Sta.es Senator Stephen b.
EIkins' silver talk only lasted while
he wss west Of the Mississippi. He
has, slrce getting across the father Of
waters, tlken back all he said and has
retracted his utterances in the Pacific
coast press in variety Of forms. or
course, he is nothing but one Of the
rotten plutocrat outfit, who, while
they get office at the hands Of corrupt
legislatures, are, in reality, nothing but
the representatives Of the corporations
whose bonds are owned abroad and
who are only interested in screwing
the last dollar u gold out of the peo-
pie Of the United Stst.s and then loan
ing il back to their government at big
Interest and at profit Of ten million
d liars to the syndicate for every
finy-million -dolIar-lot Of bonds Issued.
The United States senate has too many
men like Elkins who have made their
III Iney to begin with by plundering
the people through the management
o. railroad securities aud then buying
a senatorship to further enslaYe them
slth plutocratic legislation. Ali this
class of political cattle ride about the
,un'ry in special trains while the
farmer pays two and three prices for
his freight and fares If he rides. No
wonder the United States senate does
not want senators elected by a direct
vote Of the people. SO long as the
m llionaire, like Elkins, can go to the
senate, this country will find itself in
the same clutches as half the monarch.
les Of Europe, and government by the
people, of the people and for the peo-
pie, will be an unrealized dream.
The fact that great many so-called
Americans consider it almost political
sacrllege To speak dlsrespectfully of
these corporation senators, shows how
far we have drifted as a nation from
the days Of equal rights and the prin.
ciple that there is no just government
without the consent of the governed.
What the E.kIRs ilk have stolen and
used to bribe legislatures with, would
20 far TO give every homeless man
farm, as they have not only laid their
hands on the public treasures, but on
the public lands and today unmerci-
fully toll the producers Of our country.

OUR IDEA OF SILVER.

We have been asked repeatedly to
state our idea of the silver question.
Here II is;
Instead Of being deprived of its full
value by demonetization, thus made
n commodity on the market, such as
wheat, wool, cotton or lumber, silver
should be restored 10 Its national posi-
ton as one Of the two great money
metals of the world.
We favor immediate action by our
country for It's full restoration upon
equal coinage terms with gold at ra-
tlo Of not more than 10 10 !. II the
Republican party desires TO do justice
to our country wants 10 show its inde-
pendenee Of Great Britain, aud wishes
10 declare In favor Of the peoples
money instead Of a monopoly system,
let II got squsreiy upon the above plat
form or better one,

STATE DEADHEAD1Ne.


Mr.. Tim Davenport, tue commis
sioner appointed to select lieu timber
lands for school lands due the state,
wants Tar JOURNAL and all the
papers of the state 10 give notice to
citizens that their assistance Is desired
In reporting 10 the official above re-
ferred TO, any such ands as are val.
usble and desirable, that they may be
located and retained for the state.
The above proposition may sound all
right, but it is a piece Of presumptuous
deadheadiBg on the paIt # the state to
ask the newspapers TO insert such aD
ad dvertisement free gratis, or 10 expect a
citizen to take the time and trouble to
hdnt up lands and report them to a
state official at bis own expense for the
D.uefit of the state. The state ID
able and has hired a man 10 do this
work and pays him for II. If IL vans
+, advertise for lands, let it insert
paid advertisement, as anyone would.
It would amount to nothing; because, if
nan knows OF any 6ne timber land
tnat belongs TO the government, he is
Tot going to give any free information
about 1t to anyone, much less the state.
II is not a duty he owes the state. 1t
Is made the duty Of the land commits
sioner appointed u hunt up these
lands. 1t is the duty OF the state TO
manage its land business and protect
public lands and pay for all services
necessary TO protect them.
Everybody who knows anything
knows that the state of Oregon has
shamefully neglected It's school lands.
They have been preyed upon by
sharpers, and there has been, since
years, as near a school land ring in the
state house Itself, as there could be.
Ii is one Of the duties which the pres
ent state administration owes TO itself
aud owes to the state, to bring order,
honesty and simplicity into the state
land department. The state school
land fund has run down 80 tkat II is
almost impossible TO conduct the
country schools, and, In the meantime,- .
the looting and boodllng OF the public
lands goes on as II has gone on for
many years. The state lieu lands
should be selected by the official APP
pointed by Governor Lord for that
purpose. He was not appointed be-
cause he was Republican, but because
II was supposed ne would go TO the
bottom Of this job and save the state
the rest OF lis school lands. IL cannot
be done by asking donations Of adyer'
llsing from the newspapers or gratitu.
Gus services by citizens. IL must be
done by the state school land oiiicials
at the head Of which Is Governor Lord
aud Mr.. Tim Davenport. II these
gentlemen wish 10 earn the everlasting
gratitude Of the people, they will enter
upon vigorous policy OF protecting
OTegon's school lands.
II has come 10 a pretty pass II the
stats has 10 BEG through the newspapers
aud Of private citizens for information
that ought 10 be Ia its own possession
OF that II has already paid for proeur'
ins, az thai ought 10 be on the records
Of the general goysrnmenl. There Is
no SENSE Ia this sort of thing II IL

LOUISIANA PLAN.
Governor Foster Renominated by Silver
 Men-The Platform Adopted.
12-22-St

Men-The Platform Adopted. Shreveport, La, Dec. 20.-The demo- cratic state conNention of Louisiana held at Shreveport yesterday unanimously renominated Gov. Murphy J. Foster for reelection Apart from state matters the resolutions adopted by the conven- tion are as follows
 "Whereas, There is an honest difference of opinion among democrats. upon the question of the free coinage of silver bi- metallism and monometallism; and ~"'Whereas, This convention deals only with state politics; and
 "Whereas, The money question belongs to the domain of national politics only; therefore be it r E5 Resolved, That this convention refer this question to the democracy of the state when they select delegates to the national convention and in nominating their candidates to the legislature, state senate and members of congress-" The committee upon resolutions was composed almost entirely of free silver advocates and the convention was very largely in favor of free silver. Judge Blackman presented minority report. calling for the free coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, inde- pendent of foreign countries, both mon eys to be primary moneys and legal tender for public and private debt.
 In reply to Judge Blackman it was said by the chairman of the committee on res olutions that there was no attempt in Ethe committee to adopt gold standard, or throttle a free discussion of the silver question. On the contrary, the commit tee was composed almost entirely of free silver men, -
 The matter was put to ballot and re- suited in the defeat of the minority re- port. The ballot was as follows: For the report. 365; for the amendment, 73; blank 12.
 These resolutions, as adopted by the convention with such singular unanim- ity, appear to be indorsed by the entire democratic press of New Orleans. The States, a gold basis paper, says: "The platform suits us entirely; and
 it looks to us as though the large major ity of the free silver democrats are en- titled to the thanks of the party for re- fusing to be parties to an effort to force
 that distracting issue into the campaign.
 The action of the convention on this point was wise and highly patriotic"
