Menaye Coming Back.

Louis F. Menage is coming back tc
Minneapolis This is the information
which the Hennepin county commits
sioners have received from source
which they deem thoroughly reliable.
In fact. they are so impressed with this
belief that at a recent meeting they re-
scinded their offer of a reward of s.. 900
for his capture Their idea In doing
this is to prevent unnecessary expend-
iture of the money. Should the offer
remain in effect while Menage was re-
turning. openly and above board, some
over-zealous person might take it into
his head TO secure the arrest of said
Menage, and also 10 secure the SIS, 600.

THE IMPEACHMENT.

Congressman Howard, of Alabama, not to be outdone by Tillman, turned his guns loose in the House at the open ing session. May 2S, by resolution sent to the clerk, and by him read. The res olution commenced as follows:
 Ido impeach Grover Cleveland, President of the United States. of high crimes and misde- meanors on the following grounds:
 First-That he has sold, or directed the sale of bonds without authority Of law.
 Second-That he has sold, or aided in the sale of bonds at less than their market value.
 Third-That he has directed the mi sappro- priation of the proceeds of said bonds
 But these are excerpts enough, al- though there are several more, equally as idiotic as the first three. The whole wound up with the general prayer for relief; i. e. that the committee on judi diary be directed to ascertain whether these charges are true, and if so, to re- port to the House such action, by inn peachment or otherwise, as shall be proper in the premises. To the lasting honor of the House, be it said, the pop ulistic imbecile was promptly removed by Dingley, floor leader of the majority. The question of consideration against the resolution was raised, promptly put and by unanimous vote, the House ig- nored MT Howard by refusing him a hearing.
 As sequel to the above, the Popullst party of San Francisco, at a meeting of the execut We committee of that party, held the following day, by resolution, commended the action of Howard in his efforts to expose what they consider the high crimes and misdemeanors of President Cleveland

Aboard Shin.

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro- motive of health. So they are In most cases. But it may we'll be doubted if the shaking up aboard ship, which peo- pie of very fragile constitutions and weak nerves get, is not prejudicial if its effects are not averted or nulllfied by medicial safeguard. The best, if We are to believe the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for health, pleasure or business, is Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters. Invalids, com mercial travellers, sea captains and yatchmen concur in recommending this fen defensive tonic. So do emi- grants to the frontier, the inhabitants of malarious regions, and all who are exposed to hardship or rigors of climate. For nlalarlal, rheumatic or kidney trouble, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation it is emil nently efficacious, and commended by the medical fraternity far and near.

THE SILVER PROPOGANDA.

The silver crusade has been inaugu- rated at Butte, Montana, on decidedly practical lines. The Trades and Labor assembly of that place has created a bureau of finance, and have raised a considerable fund with which it is pro- posed to send speakers from the labor unions of that state, who will visit the unions of the east and speak before them on the silver question, and by these means endeavor to secure their support for silver. With the hope of enlisting the workingnen of the East ill the cause, it is also proposed to leave faithful silver men with the eastern
 workinginen, who will keep up the fight until the free coinage of silver is an &C., complained fact Reports will be made to the Butte headquarters, from time to time, ot the progress made. The inten- ton is 10 carry the war into the enemY's camp, as the gold bugs are working en- ergetically among the eastern wage earners. Prominent gold-bug states men are making speeches in the great factory cities of the east, and their speeches are being printed and distrib- uted broadcast among the working classes. Many prominent papers of the east are also engaged in the cause of gold, and are disseminating the theory that free coinage of silver means noth- ing but a decrease in the purchasing power of wages, all of which cannot but have its effect on the laboring classes, and thls effect can only be obviated in one way, which is to send earnest, able silver missionaries among them, men from their own walk in life, men who earn their living by the skill of brain and brawn. Such workers in the cause cannot fail of sympathy Every confi- dence will be placed in their assertions. They will have their converts right be- foro them to explain and reason with, and drive home the truth. In the cause of silver, this is the most important movement made yet, and cannot fail of its Obiect

Many of the objects for which it appropriates public money are not related to the public welfare, and

DID HE WRITE TT {?

The Chicago Times-Herald comes out in an angry protest against the attempts being made by certain parties to de- prive Major Mckinley of the credit for having performed the greater part of the work of framing the Mckinley tar if. Our belief is that where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. If the assertion was not true it would hardly require so many angry protests. You may prate over it, and get appo- plectic if you want to, the facts remain the same. The protected manufac urers made the bill. and Mckinley had as much to do with it as the Sultan of Fur key with an emuete-sign his name to it.

Free Silver.
lCourfer.l

No Arizonan can afford to endorse Cleveland's financial policy no Demo- crat can dc so, unless he desires polit- icai suicide for himself and party. Cleve- land IS all right, barring his financial policy. which is a Republican policy handed down to him by John Sherman, Ben Harrison and other Republicans, and no Democrat should endorse it.. There IS no reason in eating such hum- ble pie as this, and thinking men will not do it. The masses of the American people demand free silver. Four-fifths of the Democratic party, one-tfth of the Republican party. all the Populist party. and half of the Prohibition party, all demand free silver, and it must come sooner or later and 1t must come through Democratic channels. Then, turn your backs on the golden calf of the usurers and hearken to the cry of Q great people in their distress, who pray their chosen representatives not to fur ther betray them into the hands of those whose hearts are void of compass sion for mankind ann whose every hu- mane impulse has been dwarfed and destroyed by the worship of gold.

OUR DELEGATE.

The Democracy of the Territory is beginning to see the advisability of pIac- ing name at. the head of the ticket that will not only command respect but votes. We copy from the Tucson Star
 Judge John J Hawkins is the logical candi- date for delegate to congress. He is from the northern part of Arizona he is a free silver Democrat, and always has been he is popular with the people, and Democrat without any entangling alliances with Republicans he is a man of ability, of integrity and withal a man of gratitude. and appreciates his friends and those who are worthy of consideration. Judge Hawkins is the logical candidate, because he is the only sterling silver Democrat the party can elect And the Democracy will nominate and elect him

Over His Veto.

On June 2, as was expected. the House passed the r,ver and harbor bill over the Presidents veto. It was passed by vote of 22O to 50, many more votes than the two-thirds necessary to over- rule veto. It was passed without de- bate, although one or two members yehemently protested that debate had been promised. Thirty-nine Democrats voted to override the presidential ob- jections, and twenty-six Republicans stood by Mir. Cleveland.
 The naval appropriation bill was re- ported from conference, with an agree ment on all items but the number of battleships. Incidentally Chairman Cannon, of the committee on approprI- ations, predicted that congress would adjourn late next week.

Grape Culture.

[Bulletin IS, Arizona Experiment Staton.l
 H. H. Logan, of Phenix, has this to say respecting the planting of grapes "I would choose a rich sandy or gray ely loam, with moderate depth of subsoil. Too much labor cannot be ex- pended in the preparation of the ground. The soil in this part of the country has lain dormant for many years and should be loosened up thor oughly to depth of twenty to twenty four inches. Where the sun is so hot as it is here, it is necessary to encour- age the roots to go down deep. A grape vine will use all the ground that you will give it, say one hundred square feet, therefore set the vines not less than ten feet apart each way or eight feet apart In rows, the rows twelve feet apart. They may be planted either as cuttings or rooted plants, the latter be- ing more satisfactory although vine- yardists generally use cuttings made at the time of pruning and kept in moist sand until the proper season to set them. Water should follow immediately upon planting. The month of Febru- ary is the best time to plant. When first set the vineyard should be irri- gated thoroughly and then again as soon as it shows real need of water. This will cause the roots to extend fur ther into the deep soil. As soon as the ground is dry enough It should be cul- tivs ted thoroughly and the surface kept mellow"

B. J. FRANKLIN,
Military Matters,

A dispatch from Washington dated June 2 says:
 Senator Hawley from the committee on military affairs has reported his bill for the reorganization of the militia. The bill provides for two classes of militia, organized and unorganlzed, the former to be known as the national guard and the latter as reserve militia. It appropriates $400,000 annually for the purchase of militia stores and sup plies, 10 be issued to the militia of the several states.
 The bill also permits. the use of United States forts by the militia, upon application of the governors of the states, as camp grounds, and author izes the use of guns belonging to any fort for the purpose of drilI by any militia company.

THERE can be no doubt now that con- gress is simply hanging on waiting 10 see the last appropriation bill become a law. This happily consummated, they will adjourn at once Belief exists In Washington that the President will veto the river and harbor bill. Congress will, therefore, hold themselves together un- til after the ten days, during which the President can hold bill, and then, should it be vetoed, pass it over the veto if possible. The bill, in direct appro- priations and authorized contracts, car ries STA, ,O0O, ,00e-a mighty lever in the influence of congressional elections; too mighty to run any risk by adjourning prematurely.

Prosperous St. Louis.
lReview of Reviewsl

The unmistakable air of prosperity that St. Louis wears is in marked con trast with the illconeealed signs of dis tress which many of the smaller cities of the West are evincing in con sequense of the frightfulIy depressed business
 conditions ofthe past three or four years. In times like these, the larger centers usually prosper at the expense of their lesser rivals. There is a certain mo- mentum, due to the immense aggrega- tions of interests, which keeps large town growing, even when the country in general languishes. It must be re- membered that St, Louis is at the cen-

THE NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

Judge Hawkins is being talked of as being chosen as tae Democratic nominee for delegate to congress. The Judge made great number of friends while in Tombstone at the last ses. sion of the District Court, and it is safe to say thati he receives the nomination the Demo crats of Cochise county will rally to his SUD- port-BiSbee Orb.
 Judge Hawkins has the happy faculty of making friends wherever he goes. He is the ideal candidate for delegate this year, and possesses every qualifica- tion necessary to insure an overwhelm- ing victory for the Democracy at the coming election. He is a sound Demo- crat; he is an earnest advocate of the free coinage of silver; he is popular with the masses of the people, and will draw largely from the opposite party, no matter whom they may nominate. We believe him to be the only free sil- yer Democrat whe can possibly be elected at this time, and we note that this belief is being generally accepted by the Democratic press, especially in the southern portion of the Territory. The Democrats of Arizona will miss an opportunity of having Arizona repre- scented at the national capital by gen. tleman every way worthy of the dis tinction, by neglecting or refusing to nominate Judge Hawkins tor this posi- tion. We believe it is as much the duty of the Democratic party to nominate him this fall as it would be his duty to accept the nomination when offered.

MEMORIAL DAY.

We republish the following article
 from the Albuquerque Citizen of date of May 30:
 The nation pays homage today to the mem- ery of the men who sacrificed their lives to the end tha, its unity might be preserved Through out the country. east and west, north and south wherever on battlefields, in metropolitan cem teries, or the burial places Of the country ham let, mound marks the last resting place of one of those who died for the people, it will be heaped high with fragrant flowers. Men of Gcd
 will re count the horrors of war and the bles- sings of peace, and survivings comrades Of those who have gone before will tell of their
 deeds of daring and vGlor. Despite the fact
 that this sacred of all days to the American
 people has of late years been desecrated by the
 generation that has grown up since the war. and made in many parts of the country day of sport and frivoiity, yet there is every evil denee, in the increased earnestness Of the Grand Army. of patriotic organizations and of oi l. zens everywhere who love their country. that the solemnity and impressivcness of the day and the event which it commemorates shall not be subordinated to past me and festvity Where there were ten Memorial day observ- uhCSSd OSCdOS dSO, tue t dIS O HutIUIGu lO-OdSs and the tens of thousands of participants in the Olden times have grown into hundreds of thousands and millions. Advices from differ ent parts of the country indicate that the pro- tests of the Grand Army and of the pulpit ev- erywhere against the desecration of the day have been largely needed, and that the national celebration of to-day will be one of which the country may well be proud.
 Is is greatly to the credit of the Amer ican people that Memorial day IS becom- ing to be so generally and so properly observed. The Grand Army, National Guard and the other patriotic organiza- tions of this country are moving in the right direction when entering protests against desecrating the day by making the exercises subservient to pastime and outdoor amusements. From all accounts, the observance of the day, all over the country, was very general, and through the protests of the Grand Army and the pulpit, was generally marked by the absence of any kind of dissertation.

THE Senate devoted considerable time last week to the filled cheese bill. Du- bois, of Idaho, offered an amendment placing a tax on beer of seventy five cents per barrel. Dubois offered the amendment to enable Senator Sherman to execute the patriotic utterances he had lately expressed of favoring any measure to provide revenue, and by this tax on beer $25 ,O00, 900 of revenue would be collected. Sherman replied that he thought beer paid enough tax, and thus ended that out5urst of patriotism from the fcxy old Republican sinner.

THE Republican party are prolific in invention, especially during presiden- tial campaign. Their latest is that the candidate must never express his views on public issues. This belongs strictly to the convention which nominates, and the nominee tacitly acquiesces in the platform when he accepts the nomina- ation. This is rule never before heard of, but is in line with that party's po- litical creed, viz: Ilumbug the people first, last and all the time
