water IN the river.
Secretary Barnes Immediately tele-

for his appearance there and great en-
thusissm was worked up.
Mr.. Barnes made arrangements tor q
special train to meet Mr.. Fitch at the
Gila bridge, and also arranged for Q
special train to be in readiness at the
Santa Fe depot to take Mr.. Fitch to
Prescott.
Mr.. Fitch arrived here about o'clock
and after hasty lunch was driven to
the Santa Fe depot, where q special was
awaiting him. He was due in Prescott

He was very tired, having travelled
considerable in the past few weeks; but
despite that he was very enthusiastic
over the political situation in the east.
He said that Mr.. McKinley's election
was a positive fact. at is now only Q
question Of how large will be his msior-

A New Paper Plant.

A writer in FL Progreso de Mexico
thinks that there are many plants, both
cultivated and wild, in Mexico, which
might be pro6tsbly used in the manu-
facture OF paper. He cites especially
the msguey, which attains great size
and contains large quantity OF string
fiber which can be easily blesched.
Thousands of acres OF this plant grow
along the Vera Cruz railway.
Many wild species grow in various
other states of the republic. Some
species of the plant-tree are cultivated
in the not lands, in the leaves OF which
are white fibers which make good paper.
The writer mentions various other
plants which grow in abundance in vsri-
GUS parts of Mexico, which might be
used for the same purpose.
II this be true the slaughter of trees
should be ended aud the pulp mills may
before long be busy grinding weeds into
a substance that, turned into paper, will
record powerful editorial opinions.-The
Fourth Estate.

principles of the national republican
party. of protection, reciprocity, and BIZ
metellism, which have heretofore pro-
duced prosperity and SURPRISING great
ness in all the departments OF our ma
ton.
The facts show the rapid advance in
the rate of taxation under the present
democratic administration OF county OF
fcers, and admonish US that we must Of
necessity adopt q more economical ad-
ministrstion of the public Offices, and
therefore we pledge the nominees for
council and the legislature to use their
utmost efforts to secure the enactment
OF laws reducing the public expendi-
lures to the lowest point consistent with
good government, and thereby relieve
the eovsrburdened taxpayer to the fullest
extent possible.

the extensive depredstions upon the cat.
tie interests of Pima county, by Papsgo
Indians, and the disturbed conditions
of the border, owing to the Yaqui revo-
luton against the Mexican government,
we earnestly recommend that our dele

ment Of military post in the county to
fully protect the interest OF our citizens;

cate the early admission of Arizona to

We wouldn't make the assertion that
Joseph S. Hopley will make the BEST
sheriff Pima county ever had, for there
have been some splendid records made
by men in this Office heretofore. The
election Of Mr.. Hopley will however, as
sure the people of just as good and eff
cient an administration as they can re-
call. During his residence in the coun-
ty be has made many strong friends who
admire him for his manly qualities, nos
least of which are sterling honesty and
undeniable courage. A vote for him is
q vote for your own interest.

PEOPLE have long ago become aware
of the Importance of the office OF super
visor. Upon the conduct OF the board
of supervisors depends almost entirely
the success or failure Of the county,
from a financial standpoint. None
should be elected to this responsible Oh
flee eaye those who are prominent IN the
successful management OF their own
business affairs; men who have bad ex-
perience and whose records prove them
worthy of confidence. Such man is
Henry Buehmsn and his election at this
time ls sll-importsnt to tie taxpayers
OF the county. The burden OF taxation
has been gradually growing heavier, and
the time has arrived when some mea-
eures must be brought to bear for the
relief OF the people. The desired eud
can be accomplished by an intellIRent
use of the ballot. Vote for Henry Bueh-
man.

Two Fools Meet.

A tramp approached man on Wash
ington street this morning and asked
him for something to eat on. The man
said he gave him ten dollars to get
changed when the tramp started down
the street on a dead run with the good
Samaritan in pursuit, yelling "stop
thief" Others joined in the pursuit
and the tramp was overheuled at Centre
street on the banks Of the canal. When
searched, all he had on his person was a
fifty cents piece which he said was all
the man gave him. The fellow was
taken to the court house and will be
put away under the clock for some days
to come.-Phoenix Herald.

1LAINE'S PROPHECY.

One OF the ebleet and most iaf-seeiDS
statesmen that America has ever pro-
duced was the late James q. Blame.
He thus wrote of a change that saw
must come:
81 love my country and my country
men; am an American, and L rejoice
every day that / am. Ienioy the eener-
al prosperity of my country, and k"oW
that the workingmen OF this country are
the best paid, the best fed, and the best
clothed of any lsborers on the face OF
the earth. Many Of them have homes
OF their own. They are surrounded by
all the comforts and many Of the luxu-
riss - life. I shudder, however, at the
thought that the time must come when
all THE will be changed, when the Rener.
al prosperity of the country viii. be oes'
troysd; when the great body OF working
men ir this land who are now 80 pros
porous will hear their wives and children
cry for bread; that the day must come
when the great factories and manufsc-
tories OF this land will shut down, and
where is now life and activity there will
be the silence OF the tomb. And the
reason Why this must be SO Is this. The
great southern wing OF the democratic
psrty are determined to establish the
doctrine of free trade in THE land. They
will be assisted by the nothern allies.
There is Q great body OF visionary, but
educated men, who are employed Gay by
day in writing free trade essays and
arguments in favor OF the doctrine,
which find their way to every newspaper
in the land. The great body OF our
people have never experienced them
selves the sufferinRs which always re-
suit when protective principles are laid
aside. Poisoned and excited by the
Wild statements Of these writers, and
the demssoeic appeals OF the democrstic
speakers, the result will be that 10 the
very near future those forces which are
now working, will be strong enough to
defeat at the polls the party advocating
the doctrine of protection. 1t must In
evitsbly follow that uncertainty and
doubt will ensue. The business men
OF the country, fearing the destruction
of the principles Of protection, will
decline to engsge in business; conse-
queutIy mills will shut down, and the
workingmen will be thrown out OF en-
ployment The people will see as they have
never seen before that they csnrot be
prosperous and have work while the
principle is threatened. In the midst OF
their sufferings they will learn that the
only way they can be prosperous and
happy is to vote for the party that has
built up the industries by which they
have gained livelihood; because they
will then see clearly that when the
manufsctory ia shut down there is no
demand for the only thing which they
have to sell, and that is their labor"
