IHP Issue

Never in the history of
this country has there been d
presidential campaign in
which the issues were SO
clearly defined and thorough
ly understood, as the one up
OF which we are now enter
ing It is not so much a con-
test between politica. parties,
as a fight for principle. On
the one side is the money
power strongly intrenched
behind Legislation enacted (by
tbs republican party solely
solely for their benefit, and
backed by the Influence and
wealth of the plutocrats and
shylocks Of this country and
Great Britain, on the other
side, in solid array, stand
the people, goaded to des-
peration by long years Of op-
preston, determined to make
a supreme effort to free them
selves from the burden which
they have bourne until they
have at last become insuffer-
able. The people will make
a desperate fight for their
just rights under the consti-
tuition; rights that were guar
anteed to them by the found
ers of this government, rights
for which our forefathers
fought in 1776. They ask
no class Legislation, no special
privileges, no paternaliSm at
the hands Of the government.
They demand only that the
government of this country
be fairly administered in the
interest Of all alike, that the
burdens rest equally upon all
that tie benefits and bless.
ings of free government may
accrue to every citizen Equal.
ly proportioned, Is this ask.
ing too much? Is it more
than they have a right to de.
nland? Let every man stant
firm for Justice and cqua
rights, and control Of oul
government will be wreste(
from the hands Of those who
would strangle it to death II

The Gazette calls atteu-
tion to a letter written by
Mr.. Cleveland II 1892 TO
Clark Howell, editor Of the
Atlanta Constitution and a
member of the Democratic
natonlal committee. In that
letter Mr.. Cleveland said
among other things.
The receipt of your recent
letter has gratihed me eX-
ceedingly, II has a tone Of
true Democracy about i, and
is pervaded with the SOFT Of
Democratic frankness which
is very pleasing.
| think the underlying
principle of party Organiza-
tion is what you so admlra-
bly, express as an acceptance
of the arbitrament of the
national convention, On the
other hand it is as fully the
duty of one opposed TO shut
his mind and heart 70 any
feeling of irritation Of resent
ment that might be allowed
to grow ont Of opposition
based upon honest Judge
ment and a conscientious de
sire for party success.
i am not surprised, though
I am gratfed, by the an
nouncement that from this.

paigr your own service and
the invaluable influence of.
The Constitution will be de-
voted to the fight for Demo
cratic success. 1t honestly
seems to me that Democrats
who are not at this time low
al to the cause are recreant
to their country.
Personal advancement of
man is nothing; the triumph
of the principles we advocate
is everything,
If the underlying. princl-
pie" of party organization is
acqulescence of the will Of
the majority or "the accept
ance of the arbitrdment Of
the national convention" as
Mr.. Cleveland 50 admirably
expresses it, there is no
E,,ace on which the bolter
can plant himself. The will
of the party fairly expressed
IS the supreme law to every
voter, Whatever dlSappolnt-
ment he may have as to tick
ct or platform, he must bury
it ard stand with his party
that is if he believes that in
the success Of his party
greater good viii come to
the country than in the trl-
pmph of the opposing party,

falter when the choice is be,

PURE WAIVER.
To Be Insisted Upon by Tempe But
 ter Factory.

Arizona Stockman: The Tempe Mesa Produce company has notified all milk producers that after the first of May, 1896, milk will not be received from cattle that are not furnished with pure water to drink. This announce ment will be received with delight by the consumers of the products of this company and will be the means of forcing the milk producers to do what they should have done of their own ac- cord long ago. Pure, fresh water is as necessary for dairy animals tor any do- nestle animals for that matter) as for ourselves, and in the case of the dairy herd the slight expense of providing clear, fresh water instead of forcing the cows to drink from dirty ponds or mud holes, will soon be more than re paid by the increased quantity and bet ter quality of milk they will give to their owners.
 We need not look back many years to cite case near Tempe where cattle died in numbers and it was thought from some contagious disease, but up on a close investigation by the sani- tary commission of the territory it was. found that the loss of animals was due. to the unwholesome water provided in the pastures. It is not only humane to provide wholesome water, but it is business.

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL A Vote on the Silver Bill
 Today. Villas Argues Against the
 Measure.
A Session of the Venezuelan Com mIsSion-Censure Will Be
 Voted Bayard.

WASHINGTON Jan. 3f.-When the senate convened today the silver bond bill had immediate right of way Sen ator Allen of Nebraska called attention to the absence of quorum. This ne- cessitated a roll call which brought the senators from the committee and cloak rooms and disclosed forty-six senators present, one more than a quorum.
 Senator Villas then addressed the senate in opposition to the bill which he said deserved it's fate of being strangled by silver and in denuncia- tion of the mine owners of the Rockies, who, he declared, were responsible for the agitation in favor of free coinage
 The senate agreed to vote on the sil- yer bond bill at 1 o'clock tomorrow and then took recess at 4 o'clock un- til this evening.
 The evening session was to be de- vited to debate on the bond bill.

A SM1RL TIER FOR PRESCOTT.
It Could Be Secured if Effort Were
 Made

Prescott Courier: The talk about S75 and $100 per ton gold ore in this section sounds big on paper, but when the miner pays all charges of transpor- 'tation and treatment by foreign smell ters he has from half dozen to a doz- en dollars per ton left-more frequent ly the half dozen, and that latter amount is all the ore value which re- mains in this section. Talking with an authority on such matters few days ago, the writer was informed that S10,000 would place 20-ton jacket in operation in Prescott. This is not a very large sum of money to town which raised S6,O00 for a Fourth of July celebration, the only remnant of which is the little band stand which acts as balance to the building oh the other side of the court house and prevents the plaza from looking lop sided, even if the court house does with the clock tower sticking upon the hind end of it as if it longed to move still farther south and fall into the busted" well on the southwest corner of the plaza, which is ever breeding damage suit against the city, if noth- ing worse.
 In 1886 a man familiar with the smelling of ores went to Butte, Mont, formed a stock company and started a one-horse smelter The smelling plant was success, has been in opera tion ever since and is now the largest in that section. There were lots of wise heads in Butte who said the smelter would not pay, as there are now in Prescott who say the same thing.

MEASURES OF ECONOMY.
Adopted By the Santa Fe's New Man
 agemelt.

The machine shops, car shops, repair yards and all other branches of the Santa Fe system, with the exception of the round houses, were closed for one day only, the 18th. The shops were idle by the order of the new manage ment, which is seeking to economize in every way possible. It is said that the officials saw that the road would not be able to earn this month an amount sufficient to defray the expenses of the various departments, and it was decided to close the shops for one day in order to reduce the deficit. The amount saved by the closing of the shops will approximate s7,OOO. It is understood that it is not the intention of the company to close the shops one day out of each week, as many of the employees feared when the order was announced.

Suicide of Judge Steph-
 en Perry.
Was Temporarily Insane frona
 Sickness.
The Unhappy End of a Life Fuii Ud HonorS and Distinc-
 ton.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. at his home in Churchill addition. Stephen Peery ended his earthly troubles by shooting himself through the head.
 Deceased, usually known as Judge Peery, was we'll known in Phoenix. where he has intermittently resided for several years. With him has been his wife, an aunt of J. w. Walker ot this city and cousin of Mrs. P. P Parker. Of the family are four chil- dren, all adults, three of them resident in San Diego, where the only son is & rising young attorney.
 Judge Peery was a native of Mis- souri, about 56 years of age. He served with credit during the civiE war, entering as a private and coming out adjutant of his regiment. He then returned to his home town, Tren- ton, where he practiced law till ten or twelve years ago. By industry and by ability he rapidly amassed wealth. still finding time to serve his con- stituents as a member of the state sen- ate.
 A few years ago the family moved to San Diego, where residence was es- tablished.
 Of late years Judge Peery's health has been very, poor, he being afflicted with heart disease, with pleurisy and with dropsy.' 1t has been apparent to his family and to himself that his end was near, but his sufferings were SO dreadful that he even longed for the end to come. Still no idea was ever entertained. of suicide upon his part, for the patients outspoken ideas eyer had been that suicide was abhorrent to him.
 Yesterday afternoon he spoke pleas antly to the nurse, Mrs. Harrison, and saying he felt very comfortable, ad- vised \ her to take the opportunity to go to her room and write some letters she had spoken of. Mrs. Peery at the time was in an adjoining room.
 A few minutes later the sharp re- port of pistol was heard from behind running in found the patient lying naturally on his bed, but on the coun- terpane was small revolver, blot of red showed upon the pillow, a smalE wound was above the temple and the spirit had flown.
 The pistol, a little weapon kept, as; Judge Peery jokingly had said, 'for- burglars" had been in the back drawer of a small table near the bed easily to be reached by the sufferer The drawer had not been used for weeks and the very existence of a. weapon in the house had been forgot ten.
 Dr. Duffield, who had charge of the case, conducted an autopsy last night. assisted by Dr. Finley. They found the condition of the patient to have been seriously complicated by kidney troubles, from the severity of which,. they believe, the mind must have been l unhinged.
 An inquest upon the body was held by Justice Morris and coroner's jury at o'clock last night and verdict of death at his own hand while tenn porarily insane" was given The rel atives in San Diego have been noti- fled. but interment will probably be made in the ehurchyard at the old Missouri home, where deceased in life had often expressed his preference of burial when the final hour should have | come.
