thereof he says: The Apsches then as
now, lived in the mountains, they were
warlike and aggressive and p-eyed upon
the more pescsble inhabitants of the
valleys, numbering them and driving
away their cattle. Finally peace was
made but the Apaches forgotful of their
obligations, at great gathering, murder
ed many children and captured many
cattle-hence the name ArizonB-"or
the place of massacre" The ideas and
deductions made by Mr.. Hughes may
be good but we tail to see how he oar
get over the undeniable fact that prior
to the advent OF the Spsnisrds in this
county there was neither a horse nor q
hoof of domesticated cattle in it. When
the SpanIards landed in Mexico in 1913
the few horses they had with them
created Consideration among the nativ ee
who at first regarded horse and rider as
one being. The introduction of cattle
at a period subsequent to the conquest
10 1921, and their uses for domestic
purposes were no less wondersome to
the natives. With this bald faced fact
70 the fore We are of the belief that Mr..
Hughes will have to reconstruct bic

The New Dormitory at the T territorial
University.

Work on the new dormitory, at the
university, is being pushed rapidly
ahead, The main central portion and
wing on the east, are nearing a state of
completion. The building, is of grey
Arizona stone, OF very fine quality for
the purpose, has been obtained from a
quarry some few miles west of the city,
on the Quliotos road. The building
will, when completed, be a handsome
and imposing structure and an addition
al attraction to the already beautiful
grounds. The central building, when
finished, will be ABOUT 140 feet 10 length
by 40 In width, with fur her 80 tt. in
each wing. The height IN the center
from the ground to corDice will be about
81 feet, lat of the wings about %. The
lower center floor will be occupied as
dining room aud kitchen, the latter
having large basement to accommodate
the furnace and other necessary sppl-
ances. 7 he upper floor will be one large
hall, % by 40 feet, which will probably be
later converted into a parlor.
Each wing will be so divided as to
contain large hall, with four rooms
on each side II by IA feet, arranged to
be occupied conveniently by students,
both on the upper and lover floors.
These rooms with the one above the
hall at the entrance to the building will
afford ample Accommodations for some
sixty students. When entirely com
pleted the building, together with the
University, will be point OF interest,
to which any citizen may feel a just
priue in escorting a stranger within the
gates.

Delegate Murphy and his Democratic

The democratic Newspapers in the
territory haye of late been tickling them
selves into hoarse laugh over what they
believed to be grass blunder of Hon.
Oaks Murphy who rose and interposed
an objection to the consideration Of Q
certain bill. The objection, said they,
was allowed for the reason that Speaker
Reed enormously believed the objector
to be member Of the New York delega-
ton. The facts in the case are given
IN the Congressional Record, as follows:

that the printing OF the letter can do no
injustice to the delegate from Oklahoma,
but will rather furnish him with matters
in printed form to which be himself may

to print in the Record the answer of the
secretary required by the house, as the
Record was the med um of attack upon
him. There has hitherto been no an

The movement on foot by interested

The movement on foot by interested
Individuals, to nominate a delegate to
congress at the time delegates are named
for the national republican convention,
is too gauzy and fat to find favor among
the people. A two months pull on the
pocket OF caudidste generally leaves it
with good sized hole in the lower end
and nine months would be a parslizsr.
The only advantage offered the candi-
date would be his opportunity OF prom
ising every man, woman and child in

In none of his papers upon This
Country of Ours" has ex-Preeident
Harrison delivered himself with such
vehemence and emphasis as be has in
the one in the March Ladies' Home
Journal, "The presidents Duties"
Besides commending one of Mr.. Cleve-
lands acts, and censuring ambassadors
Tor making political speeches, he talks
of presidential appointments in a most
feeling and an almost pathetic way.
Upon the latter theme, in giving en-
dorsement 20 Civil Service Reform, be
says: "In spite of all the difficulties
that beset the question of removals and
sppoIntmentments il must be conceded
that much progress in the direction of
a betterment Of the service bas been
made. The Civil Service Rules bave
removed large number of minor offices
in the departments at Washington, and
in the postal and ether services. from
the scambi- of politics and have given
the president, the cRbiuet officers and
the members Of congress great relief !;
but it still remains true that in the
power of appointment to 3f6ce the pree-
ident finds the most exactIng, unrelent-
iDg and distracting OF his duties. In
the nature of things he begins to make
enemies from the start, and has no way
of escspe-It lie fate, aud 10 sensitive
man involves much distress of mind.
His cniy support is in the good opinion
of those who chiefly care that the public
business shall be well done, and are not
dis tur bed by the consideration whether
this man or that man is doiLg it; but he
hears very little directly from this class.
No president can conduct a successful
ad 10 lnistr6tion without the support OF
congress-, and this matter cf appoint
ments, do what he will, often weakens
that support. 1t is for him always a
sort OF compromise b=tween his ideal
and the best attainable thing.

BI-METALLISM AND PROTEC-
TION THE SOLE

Prosperity, says the American, must
first be restored to the farmers so that
trey eau bus manufactured goods, and
prosperity can only be restored to our
agricultural clas1es by raising the prices
of what they sell and which are fixed in
the British markets in competition with
the products of silver using peoples.
Aud to raise these prices there is only
one way, aud that is to raise the gold
price of the ounce Of silver which the
British trader pays for the silver with
which he buys cotton and wheat and
other produce in India and other silver
standard countries. The price Of silver, as
compared to gold can only be raised by
increasing the demand for silver or
decreasing the demand for gold. And
this it is in our power to do. By open
ing the miats to silver We can both in
crease the demand for silver aud deere
sse the demand for gold, raise the gold
price Of the ounce of silver and at the
same time the price in England aLd
Germany and all gold markets, of the
cott n end wheat, and other produce
of silver-using countries with which our
farmers have to compete.
as the restoration of bimetallism can
alone restore the prosperity of the farm
ere, alone n Ike market at rising prices
for manufactured goods. end alone make
a home market for manufactured goods,
the preservation of which will give our
manufacturers renewed prosperity, and
give employment TO labor and at higher
wages, thus leading to incresed demand
for the products of the farm for domes-
tic consumption, it is the interest Of sll
classes to unite bimetallism and protec-
ton.

Choosing the National Capital.

''It is not generally known" says the
Philadelphia Record, but it is a fact
of history, nevertheless, that Bristol
township, lying on the east side of Ger
mantown, had very narrow escape
from being selected as the site of the
capital of the United States. 1t was a
very small matter that turned the
choice toward Maryland and Virginia.
So positive were some members of con-
gress that the capital was to be located
near Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, of course, as a
matter of speculation, but simply to be
near at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place
When the vote of the commissioners
was taken there was a tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District of
Columbia. Washington cast the decid-
ing vote, and Bristol township was left
ont in the cold a."
