AN ELOQUENT REVIEW,

It is not often that such public docu- ment as an agricultural bulletin contains any matter of interest to the general reader, but, on the contrary, they are considered by the average newspaper reader as the very dryest of reading matter. Mir. Arthur L. White, section director, ot Phenix, has just issued bulletin for the past week which reads smooth and easy, and is as eloquent as any of the speeches delivered before the recent conventions. Mir. Whites review of the agricultural situation in Arizona is very gratifying one 10 the people. While these essays emanating from the different agricultural section directors are usually as uninteresting and difficult reading as Byles on Bills or Fearne on Contingent Remainders, the agriculturists of this territory are to be congratulated that they have in Mir. White reporter with the ability to issue bulletin written in good, attract i've English, and they are further to be congratulated upon the fact that the outlook this year is so promising as to call forth these eloquent expressions from the pen of Director White.

SHEPHERDS MINUS FLOCKS Judge Barnes Thinks Illinois
 safe for Bryan by 5O.OOO

W. H. Barnes, of Tucson, one of the six Arizona delegates, and one of the 800 who gave their support to Bryan and Sewall, free silver and prosperity for candidates and platform at the Chi cago convention, returned yesterday from the windy city.
 He is highly enthused with the pros- poets of electing Bryan and thinks him the strongest possible candidate. The scene when Bayan delivered his great speech that swept the convention Is indescribable. Illinois. says the judge, if vote were taken now would give Bryan 5O,000 majority and there is no reason why this should be lost during the campaign.
 There are not more than 10000 gold democrats in Illinois out of the 100000 votes, and the talk of nominating a sound money democrat iS all wind. They dare not do it. as such action would make Bryan's election doubIy secure.
 "How about the populists at St. Louls?" the judge was asked.
 "Oh, it matters little what they do" was the reply. If the leaders, do any thing short of endorsing the Chicago they will find themselves without focks. The pOpu- list votes are for Bryan and the leaders cannot control them not thwart the movement Tn Bryan's behalf.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
Agricultural Bulletin for the
 Week Ending July 20.

Not in years has Arizona had a week
 that is indicative of such agricultural
 prosperity as the one just passed,
 Bountiful rains have been the rule in
 every county. and the desert even will
 blossom as a rose. From Mohave to
 Cochise and from Apache to Yuma
 bountifuI rains have cleared the atmos-
 phere, liberated the latent heat, and made Arizona ranchman's paradise.
 The effect of the rainfall upon the range grass would be surprising to an
 Eastern man. Ten days ago the ranges were dusty and devoid of grass, but within that time grass has grown to the height of two or three inches and now affords feed in abundance for all stock 1; cattle that were weak and thin are now smart and strong, and Tn few weeks will not even show the effects of two months lack of feed and water. A re- liable correspondent assures us that within and about the water holes dead cattle were to be seen in great numbers, some stuck in the mud and tco weak 10 pull themselves out, while without were many more that had died of star vation and thirst. There has always been considerable grass on the mount aims, but the cattle have in many in stances been too weak to ascend and the distance from water has been so great that hey would not venture,
 The rains insure feed for all stock until fall, when shipments will again begin. Many have also been brought to the alfalfa fields of Salt river and southern valleys to be fattened for the fall trade. The rains will probably re- suit in producing fourth crop of alfalfa in the southern valleys, as the fields have been thoroughly soaked and have received supply of nitrogenous mat ter that will materially induce It's growth; at any rate, the reservoirs and canals are bank full, and there will be no scarcity of water during the hot sea- son. Fruit and shade trees hare been freshened up, dirt and alkali removed from the leaves, and the general aspect has been materially improved. Oranges, lemons and shaddocks have made fine growth, and unless something extraor- dinary takes place a bountiful yield is assured. Grapes are looking remarka- bly, we'll, and heavy shipments have been made to northern and eastern markets. Figs and melons are plentI- full in the markets and the shipments of melons have been greater than dur ing any previous season. Salt River valley has been blessed with copious showers, and during the week an aver age of 2.1! inches of rain fell, and as each shower occurred during the night, it was especially advantageous. The Salt, Verde and Gila rivers and all the creeks are now we'll filled.

"DAAIEL WEBSTER said that congress had no right to stop the coinage of either metal. Suppose that there were a great big wall around St. Louis and all your fine electric cars should be done away with and you should be compelled to ride in the old-fashioned horse cars. Then suppose that there were but two kinds of horses-white horses ard red horses, and your City Council should make law providing that none but red horses should he used What would be- come of the white horses? They would not have 8 value. Every red horse would be doubled in value. That is the way it is with silver and gold, my friends. ."-Extract from speech of Hon. R. P. Bland, at St. Louis.

The report of the ma- jority on the platform was adopted, and Watson. of Georgia, was nominated for vice president.
 On the following day, Bryan was nom mated for president, notwithstanding his protest against taking any action that would look like desertion of MT. Sewsll, his running mate on the Demo- cratic ticket.
 The convention of the National Silver party was held in the same city, at the same me. The following proceedings were had:

 They were sitting close together pay ing attention to no one except their own sweet selves The cars were crawling, as cars in Fulton street do. toward the bridge. Suddenly their talk was inter rupted by the shriil yell of a newsboy eagerly holding paper toward the young man:
 "All about the convention-16 to or bust !'' he shouted. "Last edition. Pa per, sir, only penny, boss"
 Alfred bought paper. "Sixteen 10 one or bust" he read out loud.
 "Alfred, dear" said the girl with the big sleeves and fluffy hair who sat by his side. "What does Is Co 1 mean |?
 Sixteen to 1" repeated Alfred. with superior air, "Why, don't you know, Angie? It means that the Democrats want sixteen silver dollars to equal one gold dollar. They're robbers, those men out west, and want to ride over Wall street"
 "Oh," said Angie, doubtfuily, "that's funny. I should think that sixteen sill yer dollars would be worth more than one gold dollar"
 "That's just like girl that doesn't understand things. Of course they are not. One gold dollar has sixteen times as much value as a silver dollars-no, mean as sixteen silver plunks-no, l guess it's value. Don't you see, Angie? Yes, of course, that's right"
 ssYes. Alfred" Angie replied after thoughtful pause. How nicely you ex- plain those political things. But why don't the Republican want sixteen sil- yer dollars eqnal to a gold dollar. They'd have more money. wouldn't they"
 ooh, the Republicans" said Alfred "Well, they-they know what they're about"
 "Papa's a Republican.
 "Well. you see, Angie" ttammered Alfred, growing red Tn the face; as an old man in front showed signs of fit "why, you see-well, it's because the Republicans have got all the money"
 "Well, Alfred, won't the Republicans win ?''
 "Oh yes," said Alfred, with a conf dent air, "of course they will, because they've got the dust
 "Wen, I wish you'd become Repub- lican. Then we could get married"

that the peoples convention had ap- pointed a conference committee, and moved that the convention defer action on the platform and postpone nomina- tions until 8 80 p. m. Motion prevailed.
 Tie delegates came together slowly for the afternoon session. At 3:55 pm. Chairman St. John rapped for order. The report of the platform committee was then made by Senator Jones of Ne vada, The platform says;
 That. inasmuch as the patriotic majority of the Chicago convention has embodied in the financial plank of it's platform, the principles enunciated in the platform of the American Bimetallist party, promulgated at Washington, D. C., January p, 1896, and therein reiterate, which IS not only the paramount but only real issue impending in the campaign. Therefore, recognizing that their nominees embody these patriotic principles, we recommend this conven- tion to nominate W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for president. and Arthur Sewall of Maine, for vice president"
 A motion to adopt the platform was made and carried. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of presi- dential candidates. D. E. Little, of Kansas, nominated Wm J.

THE CANYON CANAL.

The reservoir and canal project south of town is gradually being got into a tangible shape. Several largely y-attended meetings of the stockholders and direc- tors of the present company has been held during the past week. It has been decided to increase the capital stock of the St. Johns Reservoir and Irrigation company in order to meet the addition al expense. Subscription lists are now in the hands of canvassers, who report fairly good progress. A very consider able degree of enthusiasm is now dis played, especially since it has been demonstrated that the route for the canal is perfectly feasible one.
 It may be found necessary to almost double the capital stock of the corpora ton now controlling the water on the west side of the river in order to prop erly execute the plans proposed. In the course of week or two, we think u e enterprise will take definite shape, and the work completed during the coming winter in time to store the flood waters of the Little Colorado river next spring.
 In view of the fact that this will be the largest irrigating project in Apache county, if not in Northern Arizona, and as it will be necessary for the present ent reservoir and ditch company 10 amend their ait;Cles of incorporation to meet the new conditic n, we would sug- gest that the name be changed to the Canyon Reservoir and Canal company

Republican papers and expect.t to-be Republican office holders under Gold
 Bug Mckinley are getting excited over the great free silver wave which is sweeping over the country in fact the very thought that the PopuIIst ccnven- tion will nominate or endorse Bryan renders some of these old political acks and lifelong official pap-suckers almost frantic. The strength of this greed for the possible offal of Federal patronage which may fall from the Mckinley ta- ble is well exemplifed in Arizona, where Republican papers are swallowing their previous free silver utterances in defi- ance of public sentiment, their own convictions and every interest of the country and going oyer to the gold bugs body and soul. The time has arrived when the men of Arizona, regardless of party. should unite on the common in terest of free silver and turn their backs on the mercenary few among us, who are eager to sacrifice every principle of manhood and honor through the hope ofgetting Federal appointments should Gold Bug Mckinley be elected, and God forbid that such calamity should befall the nation.-Courler.
