OPPOSING FORCES.
Will Have their Difficulty Set
 tied by the Court.

From Pearce comes the rep 1rt of an exciting encounter between two cit zena oi the bonanza camp over @ game of cards, and after being arrested the quarrel was renewed later. The second setto being had while the case was on trial in the jus,ice court room.
 The facts as near ss can be elesned are that a dispute over a point iu Q game of cards arose between the two players and one, to enforce his inter- pretatien of Hoyle on the question, seized chair and belabored his oppo- nent over the head. The latter, over ~helmed ~i:h the arguments. saw the poin, ai.d left. but appealed to Judge J'hns"n and the strong protecting ar m of the law which is streauously o2- posed to such n ethods to elucidats . point.
 In due time the wielder of the chair was brought before the imperturabls magistrate, clothed with power and vested with authority to enforce the law at the Pesrce branch of ,his great U. $. government; the trial proceed ed and all went we'll un :il the same deli- cate point upon which the two players disagreed the night previous, ag ain became the momentious issue and bone of contention. Each waxed wroth in . vigorous presentation of their case.
 His honor grew aghsst whea few moments lst.r the two men where at each other and the only upholstered chair belonging to ths court was be- ing vigorously used as . weapon of dsstruc :ion in the hands of the con- plaining witness who wac earn estly ct work raising s crop of bruises on the upper portion of his rivals physiog- nomy. When the participants were sepersted, his honor ar oss in ail his majesty and righteous indI gnation, casting . glance at the fractured clair denounced such proceedings and lectursd his now thoroughly frightened disturbers whs were now realizing that they had aroused the just ire of the mighty law and court by such summary aud irregular actions which was contrary to to the peace of dignity oi all Arizona, His Honor cited both to sppsAr for con tempt of court and the original plaintiff is now defendant.

people there is only one doctrine in
common between them-that of silver
coinage there is much in common be-
tween POpulists on the one hand and
the other parties just named, on the
other. Most Of the Single Takers are
now in our ranks, NstionaliSts are sat-
isfed with about all we preach, and
as to Socialists, while they do not train
with US, we are nearer them than the
silver men are. Prohibitionists are
with as in all things save one.
1t is not at all improbable that as to
all these PARTIES, could they have but a
day or two to confer through accred-
tied delegates face to face, they would
agree on a platform and a national
ticket. Together they could poll
nearly if not quite 100000 votes.
Now, what is there in the way of
the silver men uniting with usp The
longer they discuss the silver question
the more respect and the more sym
psthy they will have for the only party
which has espoused the silver cause
and brought it to the front. POpulists
have done more than all others COM
bined to force he9ring on this great
subject. Besides, even the silver men
now see that something more than
silver coinage Is needed and they see,
also, that these other things are just
what Populists have been all along
talking about. Briefly, the Populist
party is in the lead on the reform
battle line. This party is well organ
lied in every State in the union. It
has all the party machinery required
for thorough and effective work. Its
1000, 900 members are 80 many recruit
ing agents commissioned to muster
into service all men who want to make
their votes count in opposition to the
concentrated money power that the
Democrats of l84O warned the country
against. Come; we bid you welcome.

. A MODEL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republican Congressional con-
Vention in the Second district left the
candidate for Congress without plat
form. This, in any other than the
Republican party, would be an ex-
tremely trying position for the candl-
date. But Mr.. Harris has found q
"friend in need" who has prepared for
him the following patriotic and soul
inspiring declaration of principles to
stand on:
"Inssmuch as 1t has been demon
strsted that two and two are four, and
clearly established that three times
three are nine, it, therefore, logically
follows that our position on the money
question whenever we find what that
position is) is the only safe and honor
able one, and moreover conclusiVely
shows that we put down thsrebellion. "
Now that platform for Republican
candidate is particularly commends-
bic one in that It states two facts, both
of which are contained In the first four
lines. There can be no doubt that 1t
means just what it says as to these two
features at least. In this 1t is q very
remarkable Republican declaration for
the reason that such declarations are
usually an aggregation Of words thrown
together to conceal rather than to ex-
press thoughts or ideas.
One might read the platform adopted
by the Republican convention In the
Sixth district from now until the dawn
of the millennium and no statement Of
fact. thought or ideas could be discov.
cred in it anywhere. 1t Is as follows;

gold, silver and paper with which to

PASSING OF THE FORESTS.

Consumption of timber in the United
States is enormous. At the close of
our great war the Mississippi valley
and the region west was, with the OK
Ception of the prairie portions, almost
an unbroken forest of valuable timber.
Forty years ago Indiana had immense
areas of splendid trees. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri
had timber enough to supply the de-
msnds of the whole country genera
tion without serious loss if no more
than domestic wants were to be sup
piled.
Our demolition of the forests is going
on at a rate inconceiVsbly vast. We
are cutting off an annual average of
% billion feet, and its value is over
billion dollars. And beside our home
consumption Of timber, we are export
ing at the rate of 1927, 100000.
Commenting on the celebration of
Arbor day in the New York schools,
the World compares forestry and gold
mining. 1t shows the annual timber
product to be 23, ,766, ,OOO,OOO feet, worth
81, ,O26, $50, 1853, while the production of
gold for all the world from 1881 to 1890
was only 81, ,O59, $4,000.

IN a recent interview printed in the
