this winter It is thankless posi- tion that many capable men will not accept, but this fall it will be the duty of all patriotic business men to take an interest in the legislature and stand for election if requested to do so. A business-like and honest legis- lature is what the people need and it will have a great influence in securing statehood

At last John Brown has had monu- ment erected to his memory. John was responsible in degree for con- siderable of a fuss in this country. Now that it is nearly all over and the shirt Is about torn to feebly futtering Tipping raglets, good feeling prevails in all sections except the extreme east, and several other monuments brazen themselves in the bronzing sun, it is right and meet that John should have a stone erected to his memory.

PAVE THE STREETS.

The principal business streets of this city should be paved. If we are ever to doff our swaddlings, why not right now? Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being invested in fine buildings, our business men are stock ing their stores to keep pace with the demands upon them, people are com ing in and making their homes with us, we are advertised from Maine to California, the eyes of the world are upon us, and we are talked about at all points between the oceans. There fore it is incumbe upon us to ad- vance ourselves in the proper direc- tions.
 The first step should he paving. No other improvement adds so much to the appearance of city, no other brings such good returns Stop this surveying that has been going on daily for ten years and has cost the city more than enough to pay for pav- ing from here to Yuma. Stop chang ing corners, curbs, cross-walks. Stop everything until the paving is done. Then let each additional improvement be permanent instead of a feeting shadow.
 We have hundreds of idle men on our streets, not wilfully idle, but idle because of lack of something to do They are our citizens and most of them are in distressing need of opportunity to earn something This is the time for the city and for the territory to force Improvements, gaining two good results where at another time but one would obtain.
 This city can be paved now at one half the cost it will entail if put off for another year.

Our observation leads us to the opin- ion that railway mail clerks do not have much time to devote to activity in a political campaign. As a rule they are not at home time enough to keep up speaking acquaintance with their families, much less to work up any important political influence. And certainly, this being true, they could do little either harm or good else where. So the recent order of Post master General Wilson will have no practical effect.

PLACE THE HOUSE IN ORDER.

The legislature to be elected this fall will in all probability be the last ter ritorial legislature to convene in Ari- Zona. It ought, therefore, to place things in order for the coming of state hood. It is not so material as to what laws it may pass or not pass, for with the coming of the new order of things many of the present conflicting stat utes should go out of existence.
 But it is important that the legisla- ture shall be composed of capable bus iness men with the ability to close up the affairs of the territory in a manner that will be an incentive rather than a stumbling block for the passage of the statehood bill.
 It should not indulge in an unseemly wrangle like the last legislature. But it should wind up the business affairs left open by the last legislature and have all things in perfect shape fo1 a new state government.
 To this end the best men in the ter ritory should be sent to the legislature

The Tucson Star advocates the teaching of Spanish in our schools, and thinks if we take the initiative that Mexico will reciprocate by teaching the English language in their schools. We are inclined to adopt the sugges- tion that the Spanish language shall be taught in our schools. In fact, it should be. But what do we care whether Mexico reciprocates or not? Our knowledge of their language can not be taxed by the Mexicans if we should take it into their country.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
statehood

The anniversary number of the Scientific American comes to us to- day, not as a publication full of dry reading such as is interesting only to the mechanically inclined, the invent or. and the delver in the realms of sci ence and puzzling problems of cause and effect, force, power and result. It is a departure from the regular scientifically compleXioned and sta- tistically burdened issues compulsory to such a magazine.
 The publishers, Mum & Co.,, of New York, seem to have gone on an old fashioned spree, and despite the age attained by the American, fifty years, dragged it along with them to enjoy the hilarious celebration of a birthday event.
 From the first>cover, beautiful pro uuCIlOH dl ClOdl CulOuS1 lO ppSC 11S, the issue is replete with interest ing matter, set off by explanatory il- lustrations, all dealing in art, science, mechanics, chemistry and manufac- ture, conveying the reader on voyage from the early ages in a canoe of first thought, to the terminal point with transfers on the finest vessels of 1896.
 Every man interested in the progress of the world should have the Scientific American on his table every week This number shows US how far behind the times man may lag without such delightful informant.

Fortunately there are but few gold men of either party in Arizona and the Republican party should not be held responsible for the few gold men with in it's ranks any more than the Demo crats are responsible for the gold men in that party.

The Republican is in hearty sympa- thy with the labor unions being orga- nized in the city. It should extend to all kinds of labor and they should support each other.

Tucson Star: The press Of Arizona is doing more to attract capital for the development of the resources of Arf- zona and the encouraging of immigra- tion, than all other influences com bined. Yet how many people appreci ate this important fact and are willing to accord a just need of credit to the press by encouraging the same with that liberal patronage it deserves? You business men, just ponder on this fact, and see if you are doing your duty in sustaining your home papers. If not, reform your ways and show your appreciation by more liberal pat ronage, for by helping your local press you help yourselves.
 Tempe News: The man who doesn't know what he is talking about, and whose remarks no one of his hearers has ever succeeded in fathoming, be- gins now to feel his regular quadri- ennial yearning to go out upon the stump and make the mental darkness of his fellows more murky.
 El Paso Herald, Will Bryan give dam to Fl Paso if he be elected? Did Statesman Brock take him down to the bridge and show him the situation or Huntsman Stanton, with his dozen hounds, give him a coon hunt where the waters ought to flow? Or per haps Col. Mills or Max Weber recog- nized the cowboys president when he was here and gave him a dam site of talk.
 Tucson Star: There appears to be quite number of good Democrats now spoken for delegate to congress The latest from the south are: B. A. Packard of Cochise; Judge B. J. Ed wards of Gila; P. R. Brady of Pinal. This with Finley from Pima makes a strong team from the south Then comes Judge Joseph Campbell of Mar icopa; W. A. Rowe and Judge Hawk ins of Yavapai; Foster Dennis of Mo have; Dr. D. J. Brannen, E. B. Ellin- wood and Judge Bunch of Coconino, and Judge Burbage of Apache. All are strong men and would carry the l united Democratic vote of the terri tory So it will be seen that the old party is not without good timber for delegate, and plenty of it. There need not be any fear of a lack in this re- spect and splendid array of talent to select from. Every one of those mentioned are deserving of the recog- hilton of the party, if political ser vices count in the distributing of po- litican honors.

 Sufferers from sick headache. indi- gestion, and biliousness may alwsys find speedy relief in the use of Ayers Pills. There is no other medicine in pharmacy which goes so directly to the source of these maladies and brings about so thorough and radical a cure. They cleanse the stomach, liver and bowels, and, to certain extent, puri- fy the blood of waste products; at the same time they act as nealth-giying tonic to all the tissues involved in the complex process of digestion. In this way, they effectually relieve headache. nausea, indigestion, biliousness and Waterbrash, and prevent diarrhoea or summer sickness. They are, there fore, indispensable in seasons when bowel complaints or malaria prevail. and should go with the tourist to the mountains or the seaside. Ayers Pills are sugar coated and easy to take. They quickly dissolve on reaching the stomach, consequently their full me diclnal strength is soon realized. They were awarded the highest honors at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION.

The nomination of VIM. J. Bryan, of
Nebraska, by the democratic party last
week was surprise, and very pleas
ant one, to the people of the West and
South especially. 1t was a master
stroke by the better element of the
democrat party and whether he is en-
dorsed by the Populists and silver
republicans or not, cred it must be gwen
the democracy tor cleaning house. The
platform SO far as it refers to the silver
question is all that we could ask but it
does not harmonic with the Peoples
party principles with respect to paper
currency, transportation and land. 1t
is hardly to be expected that the Popu-
lists of the South can be induced to en-
dorse Bryan, as a democrat in the
south has the same odor to q Populist
as republican has to those OF the
north. Yet if the Populists at their
convention at st. Louis on the 22nd
inst, should adopt a straight for
ward platform without regard to the
democratic platform we believe all Pop
ulists could consistently support Mr..
Bryan. His action in congress, his
freedom of expression, his refusal to
bow to the wishes of the democratic
bosses and his utter independence
shows him to be more of a PopulIst
than democrat today. We hope that
Bryan will prove the Moses, but yet we
cannot see how the Peoples party can
sacrifice its principles in the event that
Mr.. Bryan should refuse to make the
campaign on Peoples party platform.
We think it would be mistake for the
Peoples party to endorse the democrat
ic nominee on the same kind of a plat.
form that the democratic party has
adopted and we think we are safe in
saying that this Will not be done.
The democratic party is entitled to
commentator for the courageous man.
ner in which it has rebuked the admin
lstratiOn, and, while we would like tc
have seen it go little farther toward
the POpulist ideas on the issues of the
day we cannot help but say that it has
done more than most people expected
AS between Bryan and Bland there il
no comparison. Bryan is much The
stronger and will command the greater
support. He will be elected if the PEG
| Piles party endorses him but if it be-
comes necessary for the Populists tt
nominate another man there can be IL
question but that the Popullsts will pol
the greater vote.
In the course of eight or ten days tn
Populists will have made their choic
and by that choice all PopulisJs will
abide. We await the result with con
siderable hope and anxiety.

DEBATE.

Resolved. That the reconciliation of
silver at the ratio Of Is to would be of
great benefit to the people of the UNI
ted States-independent of any other
nation. Considering the vast import
ance that this question is to the people
and the apparent misunderstanding of
SO many as to Its effect upon the COM
mercial and industrial interests of the
people, ALI the light that can be brought
to bear upon the question should be
given so that the people in the coming
election may vote understandingly.
With this object in view l challenge
any man to take the negative of the
above proposition in debate with me in
Barber county. They may fix time and
place to suit themselves.

IN his Fourth of July Grafton at Den
yer Senator Teller made use of the fol.
lowing languages: IF somebody tells
you that you want a bigger tariff, let
me tell you that you have got a bigger
tariff now than you had under the re-
publican tariff of 1888. You have not
got now a democratic tarff-you have
a tariff for protection and not for rev !.
enue. You all know it is not a ques-
ton of tariff-it is question of the
monetary system. 1t is a question of
whether we shall make use in this
country of both of those great money
metals. or whether we shall make use
OF but one. (Applause.) When we
used both we had a reasonable degree of
prosperity, and we may date from the
hour that we began 20 discredit one,
we may date from that hour the decad-
ence, the retrogaddsmoyement, the de-.
preston, the discontent and the uneas-
mess that exists IN every portion of
this God favored land"
