TIE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.

In accordance with the time-houored custom, the President of the United States and the Governors of the several States and Territories have issued and caused to be published their proclama- tions appointing Thursday, Nov. 2S, as Q day of general thanksgiving and praise to the Divine Ruler of the Universe for manifold blessings which we as a people and nation have received from his hands It is one of tho fixed holidays in the American cal endar next in importance to Christmas and Independence Day, and while it's religious significance may have sui fered some decadenoe, nevertheless, it is firmly established in the hearts of the American people.
 There are few who join in it's ob- seryance and partake of the good cheer, which is a feature of the day in all well appointed households who are familiar with the origin of the festival.
 History tells us that on the twenty first day of November, 1920, the Pill grims landed from the Mayilower in Cape Cod harbor, and the following autumn, the harvest having been abundant at Plymouth, Q festival of Thanksgiving was appointed and held and the great and good Indian chief, Massasoit, and bis followers joined in the occasion by invitation of the Pill grim Fathers, Three days were occu- pied in the festivities, and ever after wards it was an honored custom, which only the dissolution of the Union will abrogate.

SENATOR JONES ON FREE SILVER

Senator James K. Jones joins Sena. tors Morgan and Pugh in raising his voice for free silver, notwithstanding the recent election returns.
 Tn Arkansas, he said, "there are 100 free silver voters among Demo- erats to one gold bug. My obserya- ton leads me to believe that the same ratio prevails in nearly every South western State; also, in Tennessee, Ala bama, Georgia and others that could be mentioned In those localities the silver craze sis not dead by any means. In fact, it is the only issue, and the great majority of Democrats will coun- tonance no other solution of the fnan- cial question, so far as their votes are concerned.
 For the campaign next year am unequiyocally in favor of nominating free silver candidates on a free silver platform. The Democratic party must make this fight sooner or later; the sooner the better. True, it may re- suit in defeat The outlook is not very promising just now any way it is viewed, but we had better go down battling for principle than to make an ignominious surrender. Bimetallism will win event ually, It is only a matter of educa- ton and time, and it's success will come through the Democratic party. The Republicans, in my opinion, will strad- dle the question in their platform, as they did in the Ohio State convention, and Allison will be their nominee for President. '"

EnE NaLgE oE AnvEar.slNe.

IL is not necessary to write homily on the advantages of advertising for the edi6cation of the business men of Globe. Our columns this week are much in evidence that 'tho value of the local paper as medium between the seller and the buyer is fully appreciated. There are three requisites to suc- cessful business onterprise
 First To offer for sale commodity that is demand by the people.
 Second prices and the fulfill ment of every claim and promise made to the public,
 Third - Judicious advertising in a medium that ciroulates largely in the community from which you expect to draw your trade.
 There are, of course, other factors influencing business and essential to success, among which are abundant capital, desirable location, and that most important endowment which en- braces many virtues-enterprise.
 The wonderful growth of advertising in the United States, and the im- portance which the business world at taches to it as nu aid to success is sue cinctly told by the president of n great corporation in q paper read before the Manufacturers Club of Cincinnatti, recently, in which it is shown that the volume of advertising of the present day in the United States is about twenty times what it was in lS45, and twice what it was in 1880, while the past five years are thought to have shown an increase of 20 per cent over lS9O. The annual receipts of adyer- tisiug of some of the big magazines are S325, 900 to S35O, 900, and this country now expends S225, ,O0O, 900 annually in advertising.
 "Our present trade, says the writer, lis founded on a past of greater or less duration We draw our nourishment of today from the present; and we reckon our mercantile or manufactur- ing longevity by the apparent prospect of the future. So far as can see any broad cessation of advertising can come only through a future annihila- ton of all printing, and this would mean the beginning of the end of all progress. We can not consider such a possibility. Future progress is in our g rasp but strive we for it; and, as in other affairs of life, so in advertising.

SPENDING THE rrorLE's MONEY

Contractor Napier has received no- tice from the Carnegie Steel Works th0t the fifty-two tons of steel work for tho Normal building has been shipped. The walls of the second story are now up and the stone entrance on the west end of the building is almost com pleted. Already the structure is assuming m imposing appearance and when finished it will without doubt be the finest public building in the Terri tory Tempe News,
 Theabove will be mighty interesting reading" to the taxpayers of the Terri tory who are called upon to foot the bills Governor Hughes, in his report for 1894, states that "the estimated cost of the Normal School building is .Si6,500," and to partially meet this expense the Eighteenth Legislature passed bill authorizing a new levy of four cents upon each Sl00 valuation of property in the Territory, for the years 1895 and 1S96 This levy will yield only about S22, 800, or less than one-half of Governor Hughes estimate of the cost of the new structure, and of course the next legislature will be asked to repeat the dose
 But the end is still not in sight when the extortionate demands of the Normal School upon the Territorial exchequer will cease. The Governors estimate will have to be revised, as the lowest estimate now made of the cost of this imposing pile is SlOO, 900, and a gentleman who visited Tempe and is we'll informed on the subject, places the probable cost of the Normal School building at Sl5O, 1000, to pay which the taxpayers must be bled for six or seven years longer, if they will stand it.
 Will they submit longer to be held up and robbed when there is law to oppose it?

A Taxpayers Petition.

Thirty-four of the taxpayers of Pima county have petitioned the district attorney to dismiss the cases against Parks, Richardson and Bennett, for illegal branding. The matter is of general interest as showing the abuse of the criminal law which is bankrupting the counties. Grand juries too often indict persons upon insufficient evidence and without any probability of convictions being se- cured.
 Referring to the Pima county tax payers petition, the Citizen says:
 'For the past couple of years that unity which is supposed to dwell among the brethren of the craft has not found Judgement in the bosoms of the stockmen in and about Crittenden, and the result has been much vexa- tious litigation which has wrought havoc with the pockets of the tax payers of Pima county. A worthless calf cost the county something like
  S11, 1000 or S12,OOO, and then the case was dismissed, This dose by the action of the late grand jury bids fair to be repeated unless the several in- dictments against the parties in inter- est are dismissed. In the first costly suit Richardson and Burnett secured an indictment against Parks, which after two years' litigation with Pima county to foot the bill, the case was dismissed. At the last sitting of the Territorial grand jury the same parties again got Parks indicted for illegally branding calves, the property cfothers, and then Parks returned the compli- ment on like charge. The sooner these cases are dismissed the better it will be for the taxpayers, and so the taxpayers think, MT. Frank AL lison, of Allison Bros, who heads the list, stated that nearly every tax payer in the county would sign it if was given"

TmE COPPER quEEN CASE.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 The great Copper Queen case is as yet as far from an ending as when it was begun five years ago, the jury be- fore whom the case was tried, disa- greed and were discharged
 The title of the case is the United States vs. Daniel Ross and-the Copper Queen Mining Company, and involved the snug sum. $1S3, GOO for timber claimed by the government to have been cut on non mineral land in the Chiricahua mountains, Cochise county.
 This claim was resisted by Ross and the Copper Queen company on the ground that the land from which the timber had been taken was mineral ground, and it was permissible under the law to cut and haul timber there from. The original suit was filed in 1890 and dismissed without prejudice on petition of the government, and no further action was taken therein till the present term of court, when the case was again called. It occupied the attention of the court for the better part of two weeks, and was ably and elaborately argued on both sides. It was submitted to the jury at 10 0. m. Saturday last, and at l2.15 Sunday the i jury, unable to agree, were discharged. On the first ballot the jury stood to , in favor of the defense, and before they were discharged the vote had changed to to in favor of the copper com pany.
 On inquiry at the marshal's office it was learned that the case would again be called nt the February term of court.
 It appears, upon nosing among the jurymen, that the minority believed the law in the case to have been vio- lated; that the land was non mineral, put that the Iehpass had been lnnO- cent and unintentional, and that the defendants had enormously believed the land to have been mineral bearing at the time of the trespass. A compro. mise upon stumpage was therefore offered by the minority, but refused by the majority, This stumpage, at the rate of S1.25 per stump, would have amounted 10 about S7,5OO and probably would have settled the case, but the majority insisted that the principal involved was beyond the reach of money and refused anything less than verdict for the defense, and to this the minority would not agree.

BETTER MAIL SERVICE.

Assistant Geneaol Manager R. E.
 Wells hes received adyices from Presi-
 dent F. NJ. Murphy, of the Santa Fe,
 Prescott & Phoenix Railroad, that on or before December 15, regular daily mail service will be established on tho trains of the above road between Ash Fork and Phoenix. This news will be hailed with joy all over the Territory, as the press, the people and the rail- road officials have been working for months to secure it. Under the pres ent arrangements, mail from the south orn part of the Territory intended for northern points aud vice versa, goes all the way around by Albuquerque or Los Angeles, while under the new arrange ments it will be routed over the North and South line, making Q saving of several days. Postal clerks will run on both trains so that the postmasters of Prescott and Phenix particularly will be relieved of whole lot of extra work performed by them now under the old stage line contract. The placing of this service on the road, tardy as it has been, gives excellent mall facilities now between all the most important towns of the Territory. Under the new time schedule of the road, the time is cut down to little less than nine hours between Phoenix and Ash Fork, which, considering that thirty or forty miles of it is over the mountains and heavy grades, is remarkably quick time.

THE MINERAL MARKET.
THE PEOPLE PROTEST.

9
 Gila county exposing the illegality of
 certain acts of the Eighteenth Legisla
 tive Assembly has attracted wide at tentiOn, but no greater than it's impor- tanoe merits, Certainly there is no subject of more concern to the tax payers of the Territory, nor so inh- mately connected with the welfare of Arizona, than the question of finances, The extrayagant appropriation of money for specious purposes, under the guise of promoting the public veal, is responsible for the burden of debt now resting upon Arizona and it's sev- eral counties, and for which evil all the good laws on our statute books do not compensate. And now that we are struggling to ease the pressure by funding our indebtedness, it is mon- strous that a body of lawmakers elected by the people to subserve the interests of Arizona and promote her welfare, should combine to loot the taxpayers and render the counties less able to discharge their current obligations; and while to some of the more pros porous counties the payment of the taxes levied for costly improvements to public institutions may seem trivial, nevertheless the preoedert established of making lavish appropriations at each recurring session of the legislature, is vicious, and if permitted to go un- challenged will evtntually involve Ari- zona in financial ruiu, from which her unrivalled resources will not avail to suocor her.
 It is this spirit of recklessness among Territorial lawmakers that prompted Congress to place certain limitations upon their powers, and that Arizona legislatures have transcended those powers is evident to the thoughtful citizen.
 The special report of Gila's grand jury directly attacks this assumption of the Legislature to override the organic law of the Territory, and is forcible presentation of the facts and the law in the case. It is an opinion V Nich carries conviction to the mind that carefully reads and considers it. Thyre is no other logical deduction .han that the acts of the Eighteenth Legislature au- tkorizing leyies for public institutions Gin addition to the regular levies for their maintenance) are in contrayention of the Harrison Act, and therefore illegal and void.
 Following closely this report of our | grand jury comes the opinion of Judge | Baker declaring the Immigration Con- mission Act void, The Judge, in ar- irving at this decision, follows the same line of reasoning as does the Gila county grand jury, and the decision has an application and significance that is liable to bo far-rcaching in its effects. The indebtedness of the Ter ritory and also of Gila county far ex- ceeds the limits placed npon it by Con- gress, beyond which no Legislature is permitted to go in making appropria- lions. There is a strong and growing sentiment amongst our taxpayers against paying any further demands of this character, and We think it safe to predict that after the collection of taxes for the current year the Normal School, the University and the Terri .Orial Reform School will have re- aeiyed the last dollar from Gila county under the acts of 1895.

 "CONsEsTESCY, THOU ART A JEWEL" {"

All the Republican newspapers of the Territory have been pretending to be in favor of silver first, last and all the time, but just as soon as the news reached them of the defeat of the free silver candidates in the recent election they trotted out their whole force of poultry and crowed long and loud over their dOwnfall.--Guardian.
 That's so, and we expect that some Of our Democratic exchanges which before the election were trying hard to balance themselves on the financial teter-board, will now strenuously adyo- cate the cause of silver, and prepare to denounce the Republican gold bugs in the next Congress.
