IT Is real pleasure to a good and
true democrat to have occasion to praise
the democratic President. ALI such
democrats, therefore, are delighted that
the President has been wise enough to
use his influence to prevent q gross and
needless affront to friendly nation, by
having the Cuba day at the Atlanta
fair, in which the government of the
U .ited States is an active participant,
postponed, probably, indefinitely.

Mr.. HOWARD CROSBY, the famous
social reformer of New York, has at
last mad the scales removed from bis
eyes, and no longer sees through q
glass, darkly. He now realizes the
fact, always apparent to all reason
able men, familiar with human
nature, that morality cannot be effect
ed by human laws, and that therefore
ali attempts to prevent the use of
liquor by prohibitory laws must, from
the nature of the case, prove abortive.

The FACT that the selection of the
city in which the next national reput-
lcau convention will be held will be con.
ditioned upon the agreement ofthat city
to pay the largeindebtedness of the last
national republican campaign shows
the influence money has attained in
the politics of this country, and tends
to sustain the assertion that the gov,
eminent of this country, like that OF
old Rome, is up for the highest bidder.

The GOVERNOR having once enter

with similar hospitality to others of
that race, at least in Boston, as letter

he made his famous spec ch, in which he
said "Virginia's stock of Presidents was
OF exhausted" The Governor, how
ever, denies this, and says there was O

THE LOSS sustained by the University
of Virginia, by the fire there yesterday,
was great and serious and, is regretted
not only within the limits of the
State, but the South, men from all
parts of which have been educated
there, and also in many parts OF
the North, 10 which the alumni of that
institution have settled. Though some
of the loss is irreparable, the fact that
it has been sustained should stimulate
the rich men of the country to make it
good; and that, too, as soon as possible.

"HOW TO GET THERE"
Phoenix Gentleman Dis closes the Secret.
A CalIoW New Jersey Youth is Crammed Full of 25 Cents
 Worth of Information.

There is or has been lately a gentle man in Phoenix who understands the value of advertising and the proneness of human nature to look out for bar. gains in which the price rather than the quality of the goods is mainly con- sidered. The following letter received at THE REPUBLICAN office yesterday is self explanatory
 RAILWAY, N. J., May 15.
 To THE REPUBLICAN, Phoenix Ariz.. Dear Sir-SOme time since 1 seen the following advertisement in the Police Gazette of New York City, New York :: How to Get There This is a subject foremost In the mind of every ambitious healthy and we'll balanced young lman. Complete and in fallible advice by one who has already arrived dress with 25 cents in stamps or silver.

 II sent 25 cents as per according to the directions and yesterday received the Complete information" wrote in green ink:
 MT Ja nes Bowen, Railway, N. J.: DEAR SIR We are pleased to note that the supply of am b tious young men is not diminishing and that
 
 steadily increasing demand. "Hov to Get There is a p-obfem on which any young man may prof tabiy spend his time and twenty five cents You will leave Railway and proceed to New York, whence you may tase any one of half dozen direct lines to either Chicago or St. Louis. From either of these two points you may select route and arrive by the way of either Ash Fork or Maricopa. By way of the form CT you will reach Phoenix about midnight, or via the latter about 5 o'clock in the morn ing, In either event you will be There" There are no macadamized road to wealth and success. Farewell my son.
 AffecUionately yours, 1T wish to inquire through your val uable paper if o. K. is real estate agent or railroad boomer or whether he is just mere impostor. But what ever he Is he's a man who don't do your town any good and 1 will be pleased to assist in exposing him. ''JAMEs BOWEN" A REPUBLICAN reporter was unable to locate o. K. yesterday. But Mir. Bowen has probably gotten his moneys worth anyway. His attention has been attracted to Phoenix and that's worth any mans little old twenty-five cents. Should he make up hls mind to come he is in possession of information which he will not soon forget and he | wiil be saved the trouble of asking foolish questions along the way. Be- side he is given wide choice of routes, all for twenty five cents.
 Should his ambition not be directed toward Phoenix, he has learned as he probably could have learned in no other manner that there is not only no royal way to success and that 25 cent guide books purporting to describe it are wholly unreliable.
 "How to Get There ?" is question which every man must answer for him. self and he is not competent witness until he has "gOt there,"

Big Shipment of Cattle From
 Tucson.
How the New Cattle Inspection Law Works-Attorney Geryais
 Taken Suddenly III.
From the Tucson Star.

From the Tucson Star.
 The city of Tucson is threatened with stamp famine. The stamps are locked up in the big safe and the com bination lock is taking rest. or at least won't work when the knob is juggled with. It is not known how long it may be before the safe can be opened, but yesterday it stubbornly resisted attempts in that direction.
 Attorney Gervais has not been very well for several days and yesterday in. dulged freely Tn crushed ice to cool his feverishnees. AS result of drinking such stuff he was seized with very eevere fl yesterday afternoon and for several hours 1t seemed very doubtful whether he would recover from it, but was reported to be improving at last accounts.
 J. NJ. Holt shipped one train of cattle from Pantano on Monday. and W. L. Vail one train load. MT. Vail shipped two train loads from Tucson yesterday, to California. On Friday MT. Holt makes his last shipment from here of the year, two train loads. It is esti- mated that more than Sl00,000 have been paid to cattle owners of this sec- tion by MT. Holt, and this is not all that will come from him. This, to. gether with the amounts from numer- ous other buyers, has a visible effect on the financial thermometer.
 To show the absolute necessity for the splendid inspection laws for live stock at present existing, in cases of shipment, it is but necessary to call the attention of the public and cattlemen to the fact that one large bunch of cattle brought here for shipment last week was found to have ninety-six separate and distinct brands in the herd. It is common thing for cattle owners now to receive notice that from one to ten head of their cattle were shipped from a certain point, for which they receive the money. In country where at least 100000 head of cattle are shipped to market each spring, laws cannot be made too strict for the pro tection of cattle owners.

DEPARTURES FOR YUMA.
Another Lot of Convicts Taken
 Down Last Night.


 Benjamin Earle, seven years for burglary and Patricio Leon, alias Nor ales, ten years for rape, left last night for Yuma escorted by Sheriff Orme. Earle shaved off his luxuriant mueteche before leaving in order that he might save the prison barber the trouble of doing it and also that the change wrought in his appearance might not take place all at once.
 He also distributed his best clothing, and he was the best dressed inmate of the county jail, among his short-time fellow prisoners. In seven years, sup. posing that his good clothes would be saved for him that long, they would not likely be Ia mode and one might almost as we'll be in the penitentiary as out of style.
 But all the convicts of the present term of court have given their clothing away to their more fortunate brethren. This unwonted liberality is due in a great measure to the advice of Carlos Aldai who is familiar with the manners and customs prevailing at Yuma. He told his fellow eonvicts that on the ar rival of prisoner they stripped him to the skin and burned all his clothes. A $70 suit was no more favorably re- garded by the authorities than a $6 outfit,

west from Phoenix, the amount of rock is estimated at 13, ,652 GU bic varde.
 These items amount to 66l ,749 GU bic yards of rock to be excavated. To this is to be added the rock in tunnels, cul- vers, fumes and crossings, which will bring the total rockwork up to pretty near 100000 cubic yards AS Mir. Brown esti mates that it will take about two pounds of powder for cubic yard of rock, it will require about 1,4O0 ,000 pounds of powder to enable the con- tractors to complete the work This will take about seventy carloads of powder.

 While some of the delegates chosen are favorable to silver they are unani- mously against an overt declaration on the money question by the national league of Republicans.
 An analysis of the vote shows that anti-siiver delegates were elected by an average vote of two to one.
