Now that the Republican party
has declared itself on the silver
question by being bulldozed by
the magnates of Wall Street and
the money corporations the people
of the west and south are turning
their eyes in the direction of the
Windy City TO see what will be
done for them there. The present
outlook is rather encouraging and
the instruction Of some of the dele
gates to vote for II. M. Teller is
rather suggestive. There is no
other man who could carry the
vote of the entire west. The silver
Republicans with the Democratic
and Populist vote could not but
send him to the White House
The south is solid for Teller fo1
the action he took regarding the
force bill when in congress. Il
selected by the Democratic party
there is hardly doubt but what
he would be endorsed by the Popu
lists and the Free Sllverites in their
convention in st. Louis on the 23d
of July. The only way in which
we can be victorious is by a union
of all the silver parties. We would
like to see Teller at the head OF
the ticket this fall.-Bisbee OrJ.

The assertion of some Of the terri
rorial papers that Attorney General
Wilson is goldbug is untrue and
unfair. Col. Wilson is and has been
a pronounced advocate offree silver
for years and has probably spoken
more forcibly on this subject than
any other man in Arizona with the
exception of Mark Smith. The
friends Of ssiilxsgs are not over
hfgasnea With able champions like
Cbls w ilsonspndit is unfair to mis-
rapresentiand villify a man who is
loyal to every intrest of our

sert without fear that silver and

The only business done by the su.

was to sustain the lower court that
pronounced the sentence of death on
Oscer Rogers, the train robber no

the matter and shows the law
making train robbers an offense
punishable with death is con-

RESOLUTIONS.

Following are the resolutions ad'
opted by the Territorial Demo
cratic convention held at Phoenix
June Sth, 1896;
Resolved: That we, the Demo
cratic party of Arizona, in conven'
ton assembled, repudiate the finan,
cial policy of the present national
administration.
We endorse the language used
by John G.. Carlisle in 1878, wher
he denounced the conspiracy tc
destroy silver as a standard o.
money, as "the most gigantic crime
of this or any other age" We
agree with HIM in the declaration
then made, that "the consumatIor
of such a scheme would ultimately
entail more misery Oh the human
race than all the wars; pestilenct
and famines that have ever occurred
in the history of the world"

such coinage existed prior to 1873
without waiting for the aid or con
sent of any other nation. Sucf

tender public and private.
We are opposed to the retire
ment of the greenback, and de
mand that the secretary of the
treasury, instead of issuing interest
bearing bonds for the purchase o.
gold, shall recognize silver as 6
money Of redemption, and ex
ercise the right to redeem green
back, treasury notes, and all Other
obligations in silver, when silver il
more convenient.
Resolved: That our delegates
to the national convention be, and
they are hereby instructed TO vote
as a unit and to vote only for free
coinage candidates for nomination
for president and vice-president.
Resolved: That we the Demo
cratic party in convention assembl

sion of Arizona to the sisterhood Of
states, and that we urge our dele
gate in congress to use his best
endeavors to that end.

WASHINGTON AND LAFAYETTE.


How They Obtained a Breakfast Ordered
by Lord Howe.
A bit of traditional lore concerning
Washington and Fa Fayettc has come
into print which seems to be better
founded and more distinctly traceable
to fact than is usually the case with
traditions. 1t is related by Mr.. J. f.
Blandy, and came to him with but ono
intermediate telling from La Fayette
himself, who told it at Elk Landing,
Nd, in 1924.
When the British under Lord Howe
made their descent on Philadelphia in
1777, disembarking at the head of Elk
river from Chesapeake bay, Washing
ton advanced from Philadelphia to
meet them. Early one morning he,
accompanied by Marquis de La Fay,
cite, made reconnaissance from lis
camp at Chestnut Hill, Del, in the di-
rection OF Elk Landing. Here. at a
point whence they could view the
waters of Chesapeake bay, the two gen
erals stopped at a farmhouse and asked
if they could obtain their breakfast.
The hostess, Mrs. Alexander, ap-
peared to be very glad to see them, and
they were surprised to find the table
already set with bountiful and ele-
gantly prepared breakfast La Fayctte
was as much enchanted MS he was as
tonished, as he aftcrward declared, to
find such repast in the course Of a
somewhat bold reconnaissance.
They had begun to partalSe of the
meal, and La Tayette was eating leis-
urely, as polite young Frenchman
should do, when the mistress of the
house stepped out for moment.
Washington touched La Fayette or The
foot under the table, and whispered to
him:
Better eat quickly; this breakfast
was not meant for usl'
La Fayette understood, and ate rapid
~, but heartily. In very short time
the meal was finished. The two gen
erals rose, hastily but warmly thanked
Mrs. Alexander, and took their leave.
They had scarcely ridden away to n
place of security when, turning about,
they saw Lord Howe and his staff ride
up to the Alexander house. They had
ordered their breakfast here, and
Washington and La Fayette had eaten
Ill Their chagrin, and the astonish-
ment Of their hostess, who supposed
that she bad already served Lord Howe
to a very hearty meal, will have to be
imagined by the world, for no record
is left Of their remarks.-Youth's Com

Known to the Spectrum.
Diamonds vary widely in hue; the
purest are perfectly colorless and trans
parent, but they are found In almost
every color OF the spectrum, the com
monest being white, yellow or brown,
yellowish green, bottle green, and rare.
ly rose red, blue or black. Next to
the acknowledgements, yellow dia-
monds are the most numerous. The
black are very rare, and when the dia-
mond is between the brown and the
black its transparency entirely disap-
pears, or is seen only at the angles.
Perfectly colorless diamonds come
from the mines of India, Brazil, the
Cape and Australia. Perhaps about ten
per cent of the crystals which come
into the market are of fair color,
with flaw or spot of color, and the re-
mainder are otf-colored, called second
quality or by-water. Nearly one-half
is only bort.
Colored diamonds exhibit their luster
and clearness best when cut, especially
the yellow, which by artificial light are
very brilliant. Stones either perfectly
colorless or having decided tints of rose
red, green or blue are most highly
priced. Fine cinnamon and salmon
tints or brown, black or yellow stones
are also esteemed. If fawless and with
out tint of any kind they are termed
"frst-water." II they possess steely
blue color, at times almost opalescent,
they are called blue-white. Such are
usually Brazilian stones. Exceptional
ly perfect stones are termed gems, ind
for such there is no fixed value, the
price depending ON their purity, per-
fection, brilliancy and freedom from
flaws. 1t is impossible,to estimate the
value of diamond by its weight alone,
as color, brilliancy, cut and general per-
lection must all be taken into account.
vi two stones, both flawless and weigh
ing ten carats each, one may be worth
5000 and the other 1000. Exceptional
stones often bring special prices, where
as off-colored or imperfect stones sell
at from $50 to SIS carat, regardless OF
their size.
AS the diamond is cold substance, q
mist is formed by breathing on it, and
the mist being white enables us to de-
tect any color in the stone; or, if the
stone is unset, it may be placed on a
sheet of white paper and breathed on,
and while the mist is clearing away
the faintest trace of color, and even
flaws and imperfections, If visible to
the naked eye, will become apparent.
If the stone is unset, and we fold a
sheet of paper and look down on the
side of the stone, we can trace any
color that exists within, for the same
reason that piece of plate glass when
looked through appears green on the
ends. A small pile of paper or diamonds
will show color, whereas single stone
may appear white to the Impractical
eye, as likewise sheet of plate glass
one-fourth of an inch thick and one
foot long is seen to be green, though a
piece of paper an inch square appears
white, the color in both cases being con-
dcnsed in the quantity. For this rea-
son off-colored diamonds are frequent
ly cut with very low, fat crown (the
part of the stone above the center).
This DISCUSSES the color, though at q
loss of brilliancy.--Jeweler.

MOTHER AND SON.
Together They Follow a Criminal Calm
for Yaara

Together They Follow a Criminal Calling
for Years.
In Vienna, the arrest of two forgers,
e. mother AID son, who were caught in
the act of passing forged bank notes,
had tragic sequel. The woman, who
was over 60, and poorly dressed, went
into pork butchers shop and asked
for little ham, rendering false bank
note of ten forms When she saw q
doubtful look in the shopwoman's face
she immediately tried to take the note
back and offered other money, but at
a sign from the shopman policeman
had been fetched. When he entered
he shop, q man came in with him and
interfered III the woman's behalf, say
ing that they had received the false
note somewhere in suburb, and asking
the policeman to have some considera-
tion for an elderly woman. They were
both arrested, but not before the man
was able to drink from a phial, which
he afterwards threw ON the pavement.
At the police station the man met his
mother, who was already there. She
asked him: "What are they going to
do to us?" Then, as she was being taken
back to her part of the room, she fell on
the floor, and was found to be quite
dead. The man fell down shortly after
ward, and writhed III terrible pain be-
fore he became unconscious. The doc
tors injected ether and brought him to
after six hours. He refused to say any
thing except that the woman was his
mother.
The police, nevertheless, soon found
the lodgings of the pair, which con-
.ains all forger needs for his fraudu-
ant trade-lithographic presses, col
ors, brus hes, magnifying glasses, ETC.,
and large box full of false ten=fo'in
notes. 1t has been ascertained that this
man and woman have been at their
work for 1G years. The doctors hope
to save the man.-Boston Globe.
