LET'S DROP AGITATION.

We submit to the esteemed Gazette that siuhe common cause" which the people of Arizona should unite in would better be uhe advertisement of Ari- zona's resources and fncom parable ad vanltages to capital than that of the free coinage of silver. The coun- try has just pronounced its verdict against free and unlimited coinage, and the Republicans may be trusted to eff feet changes in the financial system of the country which will place silver on the plane it deserves Ito occupy. Agitation of an issue just after that issue has been repudiated by the coun- try is. we submit. about as promising in its results as the job of sweeping back the waves of the sea with a WthisB broom. Arizona has had enough o1 agitation. Let US drop silver for the present at least and set ourselves tc the task of advertising Arizona and inducing people to settle here. The average citizen looking for new home is suspicious of a region where There is constant political agitation. Arizona has a glorious opportunity. It should not be thrown away

IT Is DEAD.

The term "Bryanism. as employed in the late campaign. comprehended far more than the proposition to open the mints of the United States to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. It meant to the majority of people, as the returns indicate. the repudiation of honest debts, unwillingness to put down mob rule, enmity to the supreme court of the United States-in short pretty much everything that is un- American and subversive of good gov ernment A perusal of the Chicago platform, now that the heat of the conflict is over, will reveal the true meaning of the term.

THEY DESERVE PRAISE.

Great praise is due the Republicans of Navajo, Coconino and Apache coun- ties. They stood squarely on the St. Louis platform in the fight just ended and won a glorious victory. Like the Republicans of Maricopa, they had no use for halfway measures. Good Re- publican doctrine was good enough doctrine for them. Their attitude looms up in contradis,inction to that of Republicans in other counties whe tried to carry water on both shoulders and were defeated The public has an honest ad- miration flor men who possess the courage of their convictions.

One of the results of the election is the condemnation of John J. Ingalls, to continued private life. MT. Ingalls, strove hard for the seat in the senate now occupied by William A. Peffer. For two years he labored to bring about conditions ,which would insure his return to the senate. It was the ambition of his life to succeed Peffer, who succeeded him in 1891 The cleo tion of the fusion ticket in Kansas puts Inga.ls out of the race He is a brilliant man and it seems pity that Kansas should be deprived of his ser vices in the upper house of congress

We print in another column an in- terview with General Wheaton, who visited this town yesterday In a few months General Wheaton will be placed on the retired list. He will leave the army with the con sciousness of having performed his full duty to the country. He was one of the first officers to en- ter what is now the territory of Ari- zona. He braved the dangers of the desert in the days when civilization had not advanced its outposts to this then remote region It is well for the people of the territory to know that on the eve of his retirement he is their friend. General Wheaton will reside in Washington when the period of his active service in the army Is over. He will be close to the throne, as it were and his influence will ever be employed to the good of Arizona.

COMING OUR WAY.

The Republican contained yesterday morning dispatches from all parts of the country announcing the starting up of industries that had lain dormant for months through doubt as to the outcome of the election. 1t is a fact well known to business men that thou sands of orders had been lodged with manufacturers, wholesalers and job bers, to be filled only if Mckinley should be elected. These orders are already in process of execution No sooner was it demonstrated to the country that Mckinley had won than the wires began to get warm under the load of instructions which consti- tuted the advance guard of the new era of prosperity He must he blind who reading the announcements of renewed activity in all the great trade and man. ufacturing cehters, cannot see that the downfall of Bryan has worked grear good ito the country.

HE MUST BE TRUE.

We print this morning letter from MT. B. B. Gage of Prescott in re- lation to the office of governor. MT. Gage, while declaring that he would not accept any political office, lays stress on tthe fact that the next gow- ernor of Arizona should be one who was not afraid, in the recent campaign, to stand squarely on the St. Louis plat form. His letter has the true ring. The next governor should be a true Republican, not trimmer. AS MT. Gage says, the interests of Arizona should "be placed above the wishes of ambitious men," This point will be urged upon>Mr Mckinley.

 The returns show that Kansas has learned nothing from her first unfor- tunate experiment. with Ropulism. She is again saddled with a lot of old moss backs. Capital will continue to shun Kansas.
