The Lords Prayer.

Between our last lesson and this we
have given in Luke the account of
Jesus being entertained at the house of
Mary and Martha. Immediately fol-
lowing this it is said:
"As He was praying in a certain
place, when He ceased II of His dis
ciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us
to pray, as John also taught his disci-
pels.
We find from this and many other
passages, that Jesus was in the habit
of praying. There are twenty one
recorded instances of His praying in
secret and in public. He prayed for
both friends and enemies, and for
Himself. He thus illustrates to us the
duty of private, family, social and
public prayer.
If we were not otherwise reminded
of His humanity, these scenes of secret
prayer, sometimes all night in the
mountain, would keep us mindful of
the fact. Yes, this Son Of Mar needed
the strengthening influences that came
to Him from the Father through
PRAYER. I'm the days of His flesh He
offered up prayers and supplications
with strong cryings and tears. " We
also learn from this first verse of'our
lesson that John had taught his disci-
pies forms of prayer. In response to
this request Jesus repeats to them the
PRAYER He had already given in the SER
mon on the mount, which would seem
to confirm the view that the prayer
was intended as a form "a, well as Il
pattern. BY the parable and eXhorta-
ton which follow, however, we may
infer that He attached more impor-
lance to the clrne-tuy-s and cun>tancy
of prayer than to the mere form. Of
words used.

Boston Transcript
 That is startling picture presented by our Nashville correspondents graphic account of the silver madness at the democratic state convention there the other day. The New York papers are giving similar details to shocked public concerning the silver craze in the west, and warning the east that it is hiding its eyes to great facts. Are we playing the ostrich role in this crisis? The discovery that the elec- toral vote of Iowa and Illinois added to that of the silver states of the south and west will elect president of the United, is at the bottom of the boom for Horace Boies, former governor of Iowa. Nor wonld it be necessary by this computation to carry all the states ordinarily chased in the silver column; the two Dako kotas, Oregon, Washington. as we'll as Delaware and Maryland. usually democratic, may be conceded to the republicans, and still 2 free silyer democratic ticket, headed by q man WE0 migbt carry the combination. includin6 .uiese two 1Ijgsisaipni NY

against the mischief, wemust expect, in the present circumstances of the world, to see it increase.
 In the United States we see religious sects persecuted, and Sunday laws. relics of the blue laws of Connecticut, still in force. In politics we find publc opinion as intolerant as ever, upon issues which are warmly espoused. In certain parts of the east the person who has the temerity to advocate free silver coinage is viewed with suspicion and made to feel the weight of public disapprobation, while in sections of the west the man who declares himself 8 gold monometallist is ostracised and suffers in business and reputation. On questions of social economy and even the simple rules of personal conduct, society excises tyranny as formidable as any other form of despotism.
 Popular opinions on such questions are only partially true; some truths have been suppressed in order to create and strengthen the popular opinion, and, therefore, the opinions of the minority, held heretical, generally con- tain the suppressed truths. Therefore, on every subject ou which difference of opinion is possible, the truth will be found to lie between the two extremes of opinion.
 There can be no liberty where opinion is stihed, aud the freer the discussion the more certain are We of arriving at the truth. The human in tellect is at all times fallible, and wherever difference of opinion exists, if one person only is opposed to the multitude. they would have no more right to silence him than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing the multitude. It is only by allowing the individual the greatest freedom of thoughi gnd action, not inconsistent with .ne welfare of the community, that true liberty can be attained and democracy in fact as well as in name be accomplished.

SKINNER'S CLAIM TO PREFER
 MENT.

George Washington Skinner, of Graham county, has been appointed by Governor Franklin, member of the board of equalization. In commenting on the appointment the Phoenix Re- publican of June says: "While men like Mir. Skinner are selected for public places it is guarantee that the affairs of the territory will be we'll conducted"
 Notwithstanding the judgment of the governor in his appointment of Mir. Skinner, and the indorsement of the Republican, the SILVER BELT is some- what skeptical as to the wisdom of the newly selected member of the board and we base our opinion questioning Mir. Skinner's fitness for the position upon his record as legislator, which does not prove him as possessing a sufficiently scrutinizing intellect to meet the expectation of one occupying so responsible position.
 The journals of the seventeenth and eighteenth Legislative assemblies, of which he was 0 member, will support that declaration, and if more proof is wanting his bias against railroads and newspapers, the latter, especially, dur ing his first term, will suffice. Efforts to cripple their usefulness occupied most of his time.
 Willie upon the subject of MT. Skinner's record, the mind reverts to a reference in the SILVER BELT of March 25, 1895, to derisive criticism by the Phoenix Gazette of Skinner, which directly pointed to that gentleman as a legislative wall flower, and cited the fact that on the eve of the session he had only introduced three bills, one attacking the territorial press, tending to reduce it to starvation rates, and it was killed and buried in the legislative potter's field--the waste basket.
 That Skinner is a mental feather weight, a reference to the journals of the seventeenth and eighteenth sessions will show, he having introduced eighteen bills, all but two of which were throttled. One, which passed in the seventeenth session, was an act amend ing act v of the sixteenth legislature, Fin relation to marriage and the sol emnization thereof" and the other repeating paragraph 24s5, section 257, R. s. 1887, creating ex. ofiicio commis- rnissioners of the insane asylum.
 Skinner rightly belongs to a past age when press censors were all pow erful and houses were often sacked from cellar to garret for unauthorized publications which, when found, were burned, and the publishers subjected to severe punishment. At the time Skinner was railing against the press, in the legislature, upwards of 18,O0O newspapers were published in the United States and Canada, with com bined circulation of 42, ,000.00

The Pinal county democratic central passed series of ringing resolutions favoring the restoration of silver to the position it occupied as money prior to the act of 1873, which demonetized it. They rightly declare silver to be the paramount issue of the coming national campaign. The clean cut resolutions of the Pinal county demo- crats are in pleasing contrast to the equivocation of the republicans of that county. The present is no time for evasion on the silver question by party or candidate. The Mckinley straddle won't go in Arizona.

THE RESOLUTIONS.

The democratic territorial convention had one prevailing idea and that was free silver, says Q Phoenix special to the Tucson Star. w. A. Rowe, of Yavapai, was elected chairman. His speech expressed dissatisfaction with the polcy of the national Democratic administration, and he called upon the convention to express it's principles without hesitation, and if wrong has been done by any man in principle that it be denounced in the platform. The report of the committee on resolutions was as follows:
 Resolved, That the democratic nsrty of Arizona, in convention, repu- diate the financial policy of the present national administration. We indorse the language used by John c. Carlisle, in 1878, when he denounced the con spiracy to destroy silver as standard money as the most gigantic crime of this or any other age, and we agree with him in the declaration then made that the econsummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars and pestilences that have ever occurred in the history of the world.
 "We are not willing to be parties to such crime, and in order to undo the wrong already done aud to prevent fur ther increase in the purchasing power of the dollar, We favor the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the pres- ent legal ratio of l6 to 1. as such coin age existed prior to 1873, without wait ing for the aid or consent of any other nation, such gold and silver to be full legal tender for all debts, public and private.
 ''We are opposed to the retirement of greenbacks, and demand that the secretary of the treasury instead of issuing interest bearing bonds for the purchase of gold shall recognize silver as money of redemption and exercise the right to redeem greenbacks, treasury notes and all other coin obligations Tn silver where silver Is more convenient.
 Resolved, That delegates to the national convention be and they are hereby instructed to vote as unit and to vote only for free coinage candidates for nomination for president and vice president.
 Resolved, That we, the democratic party in convention assembled, demand the immediate admission of Arizona to the sisterhood of states and we urge our delegate in congress to use his best endeavors to that end".
 A resolution plsdging the delegates to Bland was voted down, as instruc- tions were not deemed advisable.

TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY

The American people are given much to boosting of their political and social liberty, assuming that the individual enjoys greater freedom of action and expression in the United States than in any other civilized country. This, we venture to assert, Is only partially true, within narrow limits. To be sure we live under a republican form of government which youchsafes to the citizen certain rights which it is GUS tomary to speak of as ''inalienable rights" but 1t is nevertheless open to serious question whether we really do possess any rights which are fully guaranteed, and are not in danger of infringement.
 We must recognize the fact that popular government is not synonymous with liberty. There are other despot- nms besides empires and monarchies. There is mobocracy as we'll as oli- garchy. There is the tyranny of the many, as we'll as the despotism of the individual. The will of the people practically means the will of the most numerous or most active part of the people, and. as John Stewart Mill says. 'In political speculatious, the tyranny of the majority is now generally in- cluded among the evils against which society requires to be on its guard. The disposition of mankind" he says, whether as rulers or as fellow citizens, to impose their own opinions and inclinations as a rule of conduct on others. is 50 energetically supported by some of the best and by some of the worst feelings incident to human nature, that it is hardly ever kept under rtstrsint by anything butl lwant sal

The trial of the tax case of Joe Hampson against Graham county, wherein the plaintiff sought to enjoin the county from collecting a portion of the tax IS levied against him for the year 1895, was decided in favor of the county. The controversy came up from the action of the board of equalization last summer, when they raised Mir.
 Hampson's cattle assessment from 700G to IA, 900 head just doubling it.
 MT. Hampson paid his taxes on the assessment as he gave it in. but refused to pay on the property added to his assessment by the board of eqnaliza- tion, and secured temporary iujunc- ton. The amount of the raise was over $50. 1000 and the tax involved was in the neighborhood of s200O. The Bulletin says the case wifi be appealed.

Attorney General Wilson rendered a decision to the territorial board of equalization on the question of assess. ing railroad property exempted by law from taxation. The opinion was to the effect that it was not in the province of the board to pass on the legality of the law and it was not advisable for them to assess the property. Any taxpayer or citizen of the territory can bring proceedings against the board to com pei them to tax any of the exempted roads and thus test the validity of the law. The board, consequently, will not assess those roads which come under the provisions of the exemption aw.-Herald.
