 A pressed brick machine is one of the things that has been needed in Phoenix for many years, and the Gazette IS pleased to say to it's readers this morn ing that one of the best and most mod ern machine made will soon be in oper- ation in this city. J. w. Benhm, Colin Cameron. and w. c. Barnes have form- ed a copartnership for the purchase ot the IT nachlne, and J. w. Benham IS now in Chicago to purchase the plant. The three gentlemen named are frst-class business men, and have the means to put such plant in operation. The brick men of this city heretofore have discouraged such an undertaking by saying that the soil was unfit for mak- ing a good character of pressed brick; but these gentlemen, who are putting S25. 900 in to the proposition, have given this question a severe test. Upon three different occasions, the soil of this city, was sent to Chicago to be tested. anu each test proved emarkably satlsfact- ory. The bricks returned from the last ton of dirt were the finest ever seen Tn this city, and, when compared with those m the Fleming block, were pro- nounced superior by competent dutho- ity yet these brick cost $75 per thous- and. The machine for making bfick will be forwarded at once and put ID place as soon as possible. Beside press ed brick, the company proposes to man ufacture terra cotta pipe of all kinds Pressed brick will cost lttle or no more than common brlck, hence it IS plain tG be seen that this is the class of bf1cB that will be used in the buildings ol Phoenix in future.

ORGANIZATION.

A Republican county convention was held in St. Johns last week, and We think tte Democrats of Apache county might profit by some of the action of this convention. While the primary object, of course, was the selection of delegates to attend the territorial con- vention, yet county organization of the faithful was effected, and the ap- pointment of all the necessary precinct, county and territorial committees care fully looked after. Since the last time the Democratic party of Apache county assembled in convention the county has been divided, and as a consequence there is only one central committee in both this and Navajo counties. Re movals from the territory and deaths oi members of the central committee have also gone far to disorganize us. Now
 we believe that majority of the legal voters of Apache county are Demo crats and it is only necessary to do & little work in the direction of a thorough or

War is On Among Territorial
 Republicans.

l.. A. Times.
 4 correspondent writing from Phenix under date of April 6, says: There is no denying that war is on among the Republicans of this county, A few days ago a second meeting ofthe county convention was held, protesting against proceedings ofthe opposition faction at the first meeting. Subsequently it was claimed the second meeting was un- authorized, in not having been called by Chairman McCord. In card over their signatures, some reliable gentle men of Phoenix aver that Chairman McCord did prepare the call of the meeting in question, furthermore, per- sonally notifying some members; also that he agreed within an hour of the meeting to be present and preside, al- thongh he was not there. Tonight's Herald comes out with stinging edi- torial as to MT. McCord's later actions in the matter. It reads: "The bargain and sale has been confirmed. The bosses of the proxy crowd have agreed with Mir. McCord that if he would de- nounce the second meeting of the coun- ty convention which he called and in- sist that the first was the only one authorized by him he should name the delegates from Phenix precinct to the county convention called by the Proxy Committee; moreover he should have the unqualified support ofthe delegates from this county to the Territorial con- vention, in his candidacy for delegate for St. Louis. These are the facts of the bargain and sale, straight from un- qualified authority"

JOHN J. HAWKINS.

The l;emocratic party throughout the Territory IS in first-clsss condition, and about all that is necessary to win an easy victory at the coming election this fall is to make wise and judicial nom ination for Delegate to Congress. This. together with little earnest effort i'll the direction of organizing our forces at a few points where they now seem to be scattered would seem to be the easy task now presented to the Democracy of the Territory As to the naming of can didate for Delegate, that should become a matter of no great difficulty as the time approaches for holding the Terri torial convention. From present ap- pearances the convention will be fortu- nate in having at least three good Demo- crats from whom to select the winning candidate, namely: Hon. M. A. Smith, Hon. John c. Herndon and Judge John J. Hawkins. All of the above gentle men are we'll known in the Territory, and each one is happy in the possession of numerous personal and political friends. But, without any disparage- ment of the others, it is of the last named gentleman we wish to speak. Should the convention, III it's wisdom, nominate Judge Hawins for this high position, the Terr tory would then be represented in Washington by a dele gate who is something more than mere rolitician, and his friends and support CTS, together with the political party which elected him, would not be con- stantly apologizing fer and explaining away his misdeeds Neither, would his political opponents be speculating as to what his next bad break would be. We would be represented by Democrat and thoroughly honest gentleman. who wonld never lend his aid to lobby through congress all sorts of question able schemes as rapidly as they could be brought to his attention; but who would, on the contrary, devote his time and talents in the promotion of measures that would prove beneficial to the peo- pie of the whole territory.

FRANKLIN CONFIRMED.
The New Governor of Arizona
 Meets No Opposition.
Gazette


 A dispatch from Washington, dated April s, says: Shortly after noon the senate went into executive session, ,and it's first act was to confirm the nomin- ation of B. J. Franklin as governor of Arizona in the place of L. c. Hughes, who was dethroned because of crooked ness in administration and disloyalty to democracy. When the committee report was read Senator Vest arose and said he had personal acquaintance with the distinguished Missourian who is DOW in Arizona. He represented the Kansas City district of Missouri twice in congress, and as man of honor, hon. esty and integrity he stands the peer of any man in the nation. Not a vote was cast against his confil nation, al- though the w. c. T. U. had made 8 fervent request for investigation of the cause of the dismissal of Hughes. It is undestood that ex-Governor Hughes friends in Arizona telegraphed he deired no further investigation.

The True Ring,

PRESCOTT, Ariz., April 2, 1896. To His Excellency, B. J. Franklin, Gov ernor of Arizona:
 Since Governor Hughes has been re- moved from office and you have been appointed iD his stead on grounds; that the good of tue public service demanded it,
 And believing that the removal of him was intended to affect. not only him alone, but the whole of his admin istration and policy; and believing therefore, that, in order that you as the succeeding executive, should be left entirely unhampered and be reliev- ed of all endorsements Tn the inaug- uration of any new policy that may seem meet to you, in your beginning, by coming in any possible, cotact with any of this former administration-it IS the duty of all appointees of ex-Gov- ernor Hughes to resign the positions they now hold, or be required to do it.
 I hereby tender my resignation as member of the board of trustees of the Normal school of the territory of Ariz- ona, to take effect at the date of the appointment of my successor. And with this l pledge my undivided SUD- port to the democratic administration to be inaugurated by you, l am my dear sir, Very respectfully,

ganization of the forces at hand to in sure victory next November.
 Another thing, the proceedings of the convention clearly show the existence of a machine. Now, a machine-run conven ton is never satisfactory to the rank and file. During the coming summer, the Re- publicans of Apache county will hold another convention, and it is reasonable to suppose that the same parties will agaln get in their work and run the con- veption to suit themselves. But as the object of the coming convention will be to make nominations for county offices, and consequently having more at stake than in the one just held, there is a strong probability that immediately thereafter the kicker will make himself heard. If the Democratic party should take immediate steps looking towards thorough organization, within legltl- mate lines, without erecting that insti- tuition known as political machine, a very large per cent. of the disgrunt!ed and disgusted could be secured, which with the floating vote always on hand, a good majority could be rolled up for the whole ticket. from delegate to con- press to constable

THE MORMON CHURCH.
Public Announcement of It's D1
 VOrce From the state.

The Deseret News publishes three columns of an address to officers and members of the hurch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in conference as- sembled. The address IS on the subject of church and state and is signed by Milford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon and Joseph H. Smith, of the first presi- dency; John Smith. patriach; eleven of the twelve apostles; seven members of the first council of the seventies and three bishops, composing all the high officials of the mormon church.
 The address says that dnring the last political excitement the church author ities were in some case misunderstood and in others misrepresented. Contlnu- ing, the address says in part: "We wish to state in most positive language that at no time has there been an at- tempt or even desire to encloach upon the rights of the state. There has not been nor is there the remotest desire on our part to do anything looking to the union of the church and state. In view of the occurrences to which reference has been made we feel 1t our duty to clearly define our position so there may be no cause hereafter for dis nuta

GOOD ADVICE.

The Graham County Bulletin has the following to say in regard to the actions of certain Democrats over the removal of Governor Hughes: "While the Bull letin has never sung loud the praises Of Governor Hughes administration, and has shed no tears over his removal, we cannot but regret the manifest desire Of some good Democrats to 'cut the pigeon wing on his political grave, or to read him out of the party. The Democracy of Arizona and Pima county can win success this fall much easier with the support of L. c. Hughes and the Star than they can without it. His enemies have fought him down into the political dust, but it he pursues wise course he will not be without political influence in the future, and the Bulletin hopes to see him come out more vigorously than ever before in support of the Territorial De- mocracy and all other measures for the good of Arizona {"

ARIZONA STATEHOOD.
Chairman Ordered to Report
 the Bill FayOrably.

At a special meeting of the house committee on territorles, April IA, the Arizona statehood bill was ordered re- ported favorably to the house.
 The vote stood five in favor and two against. Those in the affirmative were, republicans-Perkins, Scranton and Le- fever democrats-Turner and Cooper of Texas. Those against were, republi- cans-Hanley and Low. Avery was paired with Knox, and Harris was paired with Harrison.
 Owens, of Kentucky, was present but did not vote. The special meeting of the committee, he said, had been called for the purpose of hearing read the re- port on the New Mexico statehood bill. It was not proper that the Arizoua statehood measure should be taken up without warning, and while members who opposed it were absent.
 His request that the matter go over to the next regular meeting was refused, however, and he absented himself from the room while the vote was being taken.

JUST AS GOOD.

 The dealer who tells customer that something is 'just as good" as what IS asked for is trying to deceive the intend ing buyer Articles that have stood the test of time, and that have been exten- sively. advertised, are usually a great deal better than the "just as good" If they were not, people would not ask for them, and dealers would not find 1t nee essary to say something else was just as good" and try to ioist it off on the customer. The just-as-good is always q great deal cheaper-to the seller. That is one reason why he seeks to force the customer to take it. The advertised ar ticle is invariably better; the people who manufacture it proved their faith in it by spending large sums to put it be- fore the people, and they would not be likely to jeopardise it's popularity by al. lowing it to deteriorate "Just as good" as something else should never be ta- ken it is substitute, and in nine cases out of ten, fraud.

THE most distressing rumor that has yet come to us out of that fountain oi truth, the City of Washington, is the al legged determination of Speaker Reed tc retire from politics unless he is given the Presidential nomination at St. Louis. Of course, the presumption is that rather than lose Mir. Reed the convention will nominate him, but suppose it should desire to bury him? That kind of bluff is dangerous.

BY ROY FARRELL GREENE. or Jimson ain't no artist,
 Chased with Ole Bull an such, But there's meanin' in his fngerin' And pathos in his touch. There's dreamy sort O music
 When he scrapes the strings so neat, He's no leader. butas second
 He's alfred hard to beat. When the dancers go a-whirlin
 Ger the ball rooms polished floor, And the boys are all a-swingin' Graceful forms that they adore, You can hear or Jimson's fiddle Soundin' high above the rest, Till it seems that music mingles With tEe anthems of the blest. True. there's little style about him: He's a diamond in the rough, With his ragged knees and elbows: Yet he's just the proper stuff. When the leader starts the melodies, So old, and yet so sweet, or Jimson scrapes that fiddle
 In way that's hard to beat. Though he jest plays second fiddle In dreamy sort O way, There's solemn prayer steals OCT me, And the angels seem to say: Be content, like OF Man Jimson.
