ton will be all the stronger if it is posi- lively known tha he was an earnest advocate of these measures previous to the adoption of the Chicago platform. In fact, it is almost a demand of the Democracy of Northeastern Arizona that the candidate for Delegate be one of this description It is a pleasure to reiterate what we have many times be- fore announced in csc columns, that Judge Hawkins las been an earnest supporter of the cause of free silver, and his convictions in this regard were settled long prior to the convention at Chicago.
 Judge Hawkins has always been found on the right side of every measure in- volving the welfare Of Aris ona and the interests of her citizens. Shonld the coming convention act wisely, and nom- mate him, this Territory would be rep resented Tn the councils oE this nation by one of our foremost 0iiJ,,zans. His friends and supporters would never be humiliated by being forced to apologize to the public of the territory for his of fcial action.

Bryan and Corporations.

Review of Reviews ]
 The part of the farmer in the eco- pomIc structures of society Is that which has most appealed to Bryan. He stands before the people to-day the rep resentative rather of the agricultural interest than of any party. It was not unnatural that from advocate of low tariff he should have turned to cham pionship of the Anti-Option bill, which sought to stop gambling in grain. COm- ing from a community sorely burdened by the exactions of railroad companies from State the government of which has been for decades dominsted by railroad influences, he quickly arrayed himself in antagOnism to these great corporations. He strove to have the powers oft the Interstate Commerce com mission enlarged-a step, by the way. which is demonstrated by the platform upon which is now candidate for the presidency-and he inslsted thatin fix tug reasonable rates" the commission should allow interest only on the cost of reproducing the roads at the present tune. Ard 1t is proper here to note that in private action he has kept himself as woliy free from the influence of railroad corporations as his record in he House argues he should. Like most public men of strong personality and talent, he has had his opportunities to join with the great army of corporations. In his Lincoln law practice he has sys- tematically refused retainers from rail- road companies. and at the close of his second term in Congress, though prac- ticalIy penniess, he declined salary of SI0,000 year to act as general coun- sel for railroad associated with the Standard Oil Company. In all prob- ability the offer WAS not even tempta- ton to him, for content with the simple life of an interior town, abstemious in habits. and almost an ascetic in tastess he has httle need for large profit.

THE CONVENTION.

By reference to the call published elsewhere, it will be seen that the Dem- ocrati@ Territorial convention will meet in the city of Williams on Thursday, September l7, 1896. The principal pur- pose of the convention will be placing in nomination candidate for Delegate to Congress. The HERALD was the first paper in the Territory to announce the ma ne and urge the candidacy of Judge John J. Hawkins for this position, and ever since has also been interested in the other names mentioned. We have seen no reason since our first announce ment to waver in he opinion then ex- pressed that Judge Hawkins was the logical candidate of the Democratic pai- ty, at this time, for this high position Indeed, on the contrary, reasons have accumulated why the entire Dt mocracy of this Territory should support him in convention, thereby making him the nominee by exclamation. And it is our conviction that the nom nation of udge Hawkins is equivalent to his certain election
 Since the late Chicago convention adopted a platform declaring in no un- certain terms for free silver, and also demanding the unlimited coinage of the white metal, the candidate placed be- fore the people by the coming conven-

 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4-Dayid Nagie, the ex- United States Marshal who kill ed Judge Terry some years ago, while acting as a bodyguard to Justice $. J. Field, got into an altercation with James H. Barry. editor of the Star, a weekly paper, on Montgomery street, today. In the last issue of the Star, Barry published biography of Nagle in which the latter's record and char acter were severely criticised. Today Nagle asked if Barry were the author of the article in the Star. Barry replIed that he was and was responsible for it.
 "Then take this," said Nagle, splitting four times in Barry's faie. Barry struck at Nagle. The latter, with his hand in his own hip pocket, said: "Now fill vour hand" Barry said: "You are armed

ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP.
Five Men Undertake to Rob
 the NOgaleS Bank.
-BiSbee Orb.

TBisbee Orb,l
 From Deputy Sheriff Caldwell, who came in last night, we learn that an at- tempt was made Thursday noon to rob the International bank at Nogales. Three of the men entered the bank while the other two held the horses out side. Cashier Herrera and MT. Dessert were in the bank and were instantly cov- cred by two of the robbers. The third went to an adjoining room where several men were talking, and while command Ing them to hold up thelr hands he at- tracted the attention of his partners. Herrera seeing this, immediately began to shoot the robbers returning the fire, but retreatIng toward the street. Her. rera followed and one of the robbers was wounded. A posse was immediately formed and started in pursuit. About six miles from town they came across the body of the robber who had been shot by Cashier Herrera. The trail led north from Nogales and is being rapidly followed by the posse, while another from Tucson is trying to head the rob- bers of. It is thought that the robbers will turn into Mexico, as they are too we'll known in this part of the country.
 The men are all known to the officers and are the same gang who recently stole two saddles and couple of horses from Hugh COnlon i'll Sulphur Springs valley. A few days later they took a couple of head from the Powers place, in the Swisshelms, and left one of Con- Ions, which had played out on their return from holc.ng up the store and postoffice at Separ, Grant county, New Mexico. They have been just across the line into Mexico for seueraI days past, resting up for their raid. In a conver- satIon with Wm. King, who runs a sa- iOOn just across the line, one of the robbers, upon being accused by King of having a hand in the horse stealing business, replied: "No, we are not steal ing horses; we are looking for bigger game" A sharp watch had been kept on them, as it was thought that they intended to take in the company store at this place, and they made their ap- pearance they would have met with a warm reception. One of the robbers Is we'll known here and for several months was employed at the Can Can restaur- ant as a swamper. They purchased a supply of ammunition and a couple of Winchesters in the store here just prlor to their trip into New Mexico.

T'I.e Fu1mre Of Canaigre

As to WI ether canaigre is to become an important crop of the arid South west, Professor Forbes, of the Arizona Agricultural Experiment station, seems to have httle doubt. In Bulletin No. 2l of that station, just issued. he says ::
 Certain peculiarities of canaIgre seem favorable to It's agricultural future
 First-It grows in winter, when water is more abundant throughout the ard region. This fact may render possible the reclamation of large tracts of land for which there is not sufficient irriga- ton in summer.
 Second-The climate is mild in this season of the year, and labor is there fore more comfortable and effective.
 Third-In case of extreme drouth the crop is not lost, but the plant simply stops growth and waits for better con- ditions.
 Fourth-Harvesting may occur at any time, the mature crop remaining in the ground indefinitely without injury, and even with certain amount of improve ment.
 As to the value of the product, it ap- pears that under existing conditions, the objective poInt is a crop which can be sold at from five to seven dollars a ton.

Made a Break for Their Liberty.
TSentinel l


 Last Monday about o'clock in the afternoon two convicts at work with the prison gang excavating the bill of blue dirt on the west side of the prison made futile attempt to gain their lIb- erty. Wm. Neaher who was on guard at the time fired his rife twice in rapid succession with such good results that No. 1155, Deinocio Carabella. received flesh wound in the thigh and immed- lately surrendered.
 During the interim, No. 1149 Dosendo Dorame had bullet whistle so clcse to his head that he forgot all about escap- ing and surrendered. Both men were serving sentences of years each for grand larceny.
 MT. Neaher is said to have done some fine shooting. It will probably be some little time before any of the other con- vets will try to escape when be is on duty in his vicinity.

Dysen- try, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The temperature of the Territory has been about the normal, while she rain- fall has been generally above, especially so in the central and southeastern DOT tion. There was no county that did not have some rainfall. All reports are very encouraging and the summer and fall season bids fair to be one of the most profitable in many yearsto ranch men, miners and stockmen. No com- pIaints are heard from any section, ex- cept that grapes have mildewed to some extent and that more alfalfa has been spoilt. The harvesting of barley in the northern sections is now in progress, but the yield will be short. Corn is harvested in the southern section, and sorghum is about ready to cut. Citrus fruits made excellent growth during the week, and oranges, lemons and grape fruit never gave promise of more excellent yield. Melons are plentiful. Almonds are being picked, and as rule in the eastern portion of Maricopa county, the yield has been good and the nuts large and full. The greatest pro- gress has been made by stock, and cat tie that three weeks ago were poor and weak are now fattening. Range grass is very plentiful and sweet, and water is to be seen in every depression.
 Apache County Temperature nor nal, with several good showers during the week. Farmers are beginning to harvest their barley, with fair prospect of yield. Grass on the ranges excel lent, and cattle and sheep are fattening.
