Editor Republican: The following item appeared in The Gazette of the Sth instant: "The credit for the vic tory of Col Simms in the supreme court of the United States is due to Chief Justice Baker. The Washing
 ton attorney used Judge Bakers brief only adding a new cover to the book
 General A. H. Garland was the at torney for Sfmms, Kales and others in the supreme court of the United States, and the only brief filed in the case was a compilation of briefs sent from Phoenix. Judge Joseph Campbell, who argued the cases in our territorial su- preme court, sent his brief ito General Garland, and that gentleman used the whole of it in his own brief, verbatim ct bi'teratim. Soon after the return of Col. Thomas Fitch to Arizona in 1893 Major Kales employed him ito prepare a brief in the case, which he did, and this brief was also forwarded to Gen eral Garland who caused it to be in corporated at length in his own brief. General Garland's brief contains ab- solutely nothing else than the Camp bell and Fitch briefs except the names signed thereto, which names the dis tinguished Washington attorney elim- mated and instead of thereof signed his own.

Mesa Free Press: Clarkson, who is the political manager of Allison of Iowa, says openly and above board that three of the six Arizona contesting delegates who were elected April 29, will vote for Quay for president in the National convention, and that the re- maining three will favor Allison. As MT. Clarkson is in a position to know it would seem that his information is correct and that Mckinley has not a single friend or supporter on the con- testing delegation. But this will not affect the strength of the great advo- cate of protection in the least. The regular delegation, who is pledged to Mckinley, will without doubt at once seated by the National convention ito represent the territory. It will then

Why all women are not beautiful and all men not strong may be hard to ex- plain; but it is not SO hard to say why more men are not strong and more women not beautiful. It is because they need to have their blood purified and invigoratd by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla- good old medicine which not only has stood the test of half a century, but was alone consid- cred worthy of exhibition, by the Worlds Fair Commissioners, out of all the preparations purporting ito be blood purifiers and nerve tonics. It is fact, we'll known to medical men and testified to by thousands that the effect of using this medicine is to i'm part strength ito the muscles, vigor to the mind, brightness to the eye, bril- liance to the skin, and bloom to the cheek. What more can be desired? ? Ayers Sarsaparilla does this for oth- CTS, it will do so for you. It does this by driving out of the velns and arteries every particle of diseased blood and filling them with a pure and vigorous circulation. This is the secret both of beauty and of health.

The United States has had three distinct attacks of tariff reform with fn the memory of living man. The Drst was from 1886 to 1S41; the second from 1846 to 1861, and the third, alas, we are stiH 'sufferng since 1892.
 The symptoms and effects have not differed much in these three periods. The Van Buen tariff reform admin isration ended with the ''Tippecanoe ard Tyler too" campaign in 1S40, when f6r season the free trade rabies was suppressed The death of President Harrison and the defeotion of Tyler, combined with the new issue of the annexation of Texas, served to bring Che Democratic party back to power in 1S44. The protective tariff of 1S42 was then repealed and the Walker re- form tariff enacted in 1846. This tar if, with some amendments, continued until 1861. Tn the period from 1S46 to 1861 there were but two years when the exports exceeded the imports. The aggregata of excess of exports was in eound numbers $43, ,00O 600; the aggre- gate excess of imports for the same period was s4O2 100000. In the last year of the Walker tariff the excess of imports was s69, 9,756,7o9. The result was that lln 1861 there was but $442,- f02,477 of money in the country, of which S435, ,407 ,252 was in circulation, the balance. less than $4,O0O,OOO, being in the treasury: Under the general name of money is included gold, silver paper and bullion. The circulation per capita was then s13S5, and nearly all paper.
 The Massachusetts labor and trade statistics show constant shrinkage of manufacturing industries. They also show that there is a steady move ment of labor out of the United States Hhere ia 3 continued decline in the value of farming lands in the central agricultural states, and a movement in western states upon government land. One item is sufficient to show the extent Of the industrial depression Tn 1894 the mills and factories of Mas sdeFluset5 used $65, 100000 less raw material than in 1890, and turned out goods worth Jess by$109, ,OOO, ,00O than tn 1890. Wages shrank, but not ir prop0rtion to the shrinkage in pro, duction. The number of persons em ptoyed was iass, the employers appar entity preferring to turn men off rather Hlan to reduce their wages.

times.

The scheme which the bosses have decided ito adopt now for the defeat of Mckinley is ito count out honestly elected delegates in the National con- vention just als they have done in Ari zona and other places.
 In statement made by MT. Quay he gave an intimation of how the plan was to be worked out, as originally agreed upon by the bosses. That plan as frequently referred to by anti-Mc Kinley men, was to organize commit tee on credentials by securing the tenn porary chairman, and thus seat enough contestants to give the majority of the convention over to the combine.
 That was the plan adopted by the anti Mckinley men in Arizona, but it won't work in St. Louis
 Commenting on the scheme the Cleveland (O) Leader says: "Crtme is to be the last resort, is it ? The presidency is to be stolen! The people are ito be cheated at the last minutel The Republican party is to be swind,ed by a few traders and trick sters! The Platts, Quays and Jimmy Clarksons are to keep delegates out of the convention and to fill their chairs with dummies and automatons! That s the programme, is it? We'll, it will never be carried out
 "The delegates who are entitled to | places in the St. Louis convention will be admitted. They will sit in their chairs and they will vote The roll will not be stuffed. The committee on credentials will do its full duty and ] do it honetiy, without fear or favor. Ii the committee on credentials attempts to do otherwise it will be sorry, that's all.
 "The St.Louis convention will be jus to all men and its acts will be open and honest. Bosses may scheme and twist, they may fight until they are black in the face, they may thunder until all the milk in Missouri turns sour, and they may even decide on crime, but the people, nevertheless will rule.
 'This is the peoples year. This is z time when the men who earn thei1 bread and butter by the sweat of their brows are in control. This is an ers of the people, and not an era of -ht politicians. The men who want worl have got their good right hands around the necks of the men who want office
 "Oh, yes, there will be honesty ant broad daylight in St. Louis through. out"

Since fear hais arisen in the minds of the customers that they cannot beat Mckinley, they are now demanding that he pledge himself to the gold standard. They are in poor position to make demands. They should have acted before the Illinois convention.

FALSE ASSESSMENT.
Difficulties Attending Appraisement
 in a Cow Country

Globe Silver Belt: B. L. Benbrook, who has been absent four weeks as sessing property for taxation, returned to Globe on Tuesday. His trip extend ed ito the most remote portions of the county, and the list of propenty as- sessed is fairly complete, although there are a few cases which will re- Quire further investigation. The as sessment of personal property and the collection of taxes upon the same has always been a source of great annoy ance and loss ito the county. A reform in this matter is urgently demanded if the county is to be saved from bank ruptcy, and t(here is only one remedy for the abuse, to exact payment of taxes on all personal property, not se- cured by realty at the time of assess ing, or else to require a~bond to be given for the payment of the same. Another bad feature is the false re- turns of personal property and par ucularly livestock, made each year. Probably not more than tWo-thirds of the cattle in the county are given in for taxation and the victims of this dishonest practice are the honest tax payers who are compelled to pay the utmost limit of per cent, whereas could a full and fair assessment be obtained the rate of taxation would show a material reduction The only way to overcome this evil is to make an example of one or two of the most fragrant offenders by rounding up and selling their stock under d:straint and by prosecuting them in the courts for perjury.
