After the Probate Judge.

Jerry Millay, District Attorney, yes terday filed three suits in the District Court for the purpose of deciding the legality of the Probate Judge to retain the fees collected by him for marriage licenses. The suits are against T. c. Jordan, Frank Baxter and c. w Grouse, each of whom have held that office. The fees collected by them for probate court work are included, but the books show were not collections and tho cOun- ty lost through their failure to collect. In the suit against Frank Baxter the complaint alleges thst daring his in- cumbency of the office of probate judge he issued AT marriage licenses, receiv- ing tor the same $l ,777.50. which he did not turn over to the county and he fail ed to collect probate feees amounting to $l32.9O.
 Tn the ruit against Jordan the com plaint alleges that he issued 3l5 licens- es and collected $790 for same. The amount of probate fees he failed to col lcct was $129 40.
 Judge Grouse, the present incumbent, issued 3ll marriage licenses for which he collected the sum of s777.50. Pro- bate fees to the amount of $50 were not dollected.
 It has long been understood that the money collected for marriage licenses belonged to the probate judge, but the citizens league claimed otherwise, hence the legality of retaining the fees will be tested in court.

SECRIsT DETERMINED.
NH1OAGIOH II11 I1lIGVIINNDe He Was Bound to Shake Hands
 with Billy Bryan.

F. P. Secrist, weIl-known railroad man of Northern Arizona, who has been spending his vacation at Cleveland, O., figures in the following writeup in the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
 While MT. and Mrs. Bryan were being ushered through the immense crowd at the Hollenden on Monday evening by two policemen to the stand erected for MT. Bryan to make his third speech of the evening, 1t was announced that no person could shake hands with him at that time
 MT. F. P. Secrist. of Winslow, Ariz, forced his way through the crowd and by main strength separated the two policemen. Facing Mir. and Mrs. Bryan he extended his hand, at the same tune saying:
 "You must shake hands with me. have come 5000 miles to shake your hand, and I cannot go away without doing so."
 His request was granted and at the same time saying:
 "For Gods sake, when you take vour seat Tn the presidential chair use your influence to bring our Territory in as a state."
 Judge the future by the past" Mir. Bryan replied. ''l voted for Arizona in congress, but We were showed under. I will use my influence for you If am elected"

THREATENS WAR.
England's Boast Of What She Will do
 if Bryan is Fl cted.

The following remarkable editorial from the London Times, a prominent and influential newspaper, speaks for itself:
 "The election of W. J. Bryan "a man from Nebraska, an impassioned orator, but hitherto an unknown poli- tician as democratic candidate for the presidency, seals the adherence of of the democrats to the silyerites. The gravity of the situation can hardly be exaggerated. It Is by no mesns so certain that MT. Bryan may not be el- ected, and if he should be, and con. gress decrees that silver, which is worth today half crown pound, shall be worth five shillings, and that all na- tional gold bonds shall be paid Tn sll- yer. there will be war between this country and the United States before thls time next year. The great capi- talists who forced Gladstone to occupy Egypt. will compel government in office here 70 declare war against America sooner than their holding of American bonds shall shrink to half value."

BIMETALISM.
The Eeffect on Arizona of De.
 mOnetizatiOn of Silver.

uOuctIZdC1On O1 SIlVeF.
 Prescott Courier.I
 Some of our local gold bug orators are grabbing at straws in their drowning attempt to get gold bug ground upon which to stand. One of these straws which they have seized, in their sink. ing struggles, is that the demonetiza. tion of silver has not affected Arizona, as this is a purely gold country that we have no silver mines which have been shut down by demonstration, and so oD. Now, to start with, very little silver mining, if any, was done in Arr. zona previous to the characterization of silver, and our silver industry has nev- CT had chance to show it's capabilities under condition of parity between the two money metals. But this is not the main fallacy of the theory advanced by our local Hannaltes. which is thelr at- tempt to ignore the existence, and often the preponderance, of silver in all these so-called gold mines, and by the demon citation of silver, two-thirds, one half or one third the value of these so.caIled gold mines has been stricken down and cut of, leaving the mines to struggle along with one arm, when one more arm, and perhaps two more, have been para lyzed by adverse Legislation. There are numbers of these so-cailed gold mines which are idle because trey aIe not rich and strong enough to work with one arm paralyzed. Read the miniug news columns of any Arizona paper, and nearly every mention of an Arizona mine reads that the ore from that mine assays so many ounces silver and 50 many dollars gold per ton. If there ever was a country on the face of the earth where the Almighty placed the seal of approval upon the parity of the twin money metals, that country is Ar izona, for he.e they are found nesting in thelr rock-rIbbed cradles together, the bimetallic twin babies of nature and commerce, grown together, as were the Slamese twins, so that one cannot
 
 health, so that the striking down of one means the decline and death of the other. This is by nature double standard country, and we cannot mine gold without mining silver, and we can- not mine silver without mining gold, and legislation against silver must be legislation against gold, for God has placed them in the earth together, and together they must be taken out, and to follow out the law of God and nature, together they must stand as the money | metals of the world. as they did so from time immemorial, until money chang CTS invaded the temples of justice, and to further their own selfish ends, ban ished silver from enjoying equal rights with gold, It's twin brother.

STRAY THOUGHTS.

The time is fast approaching for the
 people to again make choice between
 the nominees of the two parties of the
 county for their officers the ensuing
 two years. The voters should look
 we'll to their condition and financial
 standing as county and then cast
 their votes for the party and those men
 who have worked so long an faith full ly for reform and ecooDmy in county matters. It is only necessary to re- mind the voters that large sums of money have been drawn out of the county treasury in times past by Re- publican officials for very trivial and meagre services such as $1 500 for the signing of signature only, another $1, 800 Tn fees, etc, for sheriff in bring ing a man from Texas, trying him, find- ing him guilty, taking him to Yuma, all for the sake oi showing just what could be done in a little case of that kind, and that the officials might have a chance to show their clemency. These are strange things, but true. They are items of county history that the voters will not forget soon. The heavy in- debtedness of the county demands economy from every official, and If economy is not practiced bankruptcy is inevitible. The taxpayers do not rel ish the idea of paying good salaries and large extra fees besides. Salaries of officers are now fixed by law, and they should receive their salaries but no more, no extra fees.
 Every voter should know before he casts his ballot whether the persons for whom he votes is in favor of re- trenchment. Our industries will not flourish and our resources will not be developed as long as continue extrava- gance and negligence in our county af- fairs.
 Office-seekiDg has become cronic disease with some, the object being to live of the toil of the laborer, without caring to what extremes the poor are pushed 10 raise their faxes. Tie voters should see to it that all such are never elected to another office in this county.
 A man who las not the ability to live an office is not a safe man in an office, therefore should never be el- ected to one.
 The times deman economy in gov honest men, lower taxes. Let us have them.

Cannon Is Confident.

A special to the Rocky Mountain News from Salt Lake City says: Senator Frank J. Cannon is confident of Bryan's election to the presidency. His confidence is based not on hope alone, but ou the result of investiga- tons made while in the East.
 MT. Cannon IS fresh from the field where the battle IS being fought. He returned to-day from tour that took hlm as far as Rhode Island and included many so-called doubtful states.
 "There seems to be great tidal wave of public sentiment sweeping over the middle Western states ard growing rapidly stronger as election day ap- proaches," said he. "Chicago IS ablaze with the Bryan sentiment, and the ut- most enthusiasm is shown in tine cause. The people are eager to hear the free silver doctrine expounded. l never saw 6 more enthusiastic audience than in Chicago Friday assernoon."
 Mir. Cannon said that he regarded MT. Bryan as being absolutely sure of I9O electoral votes, without counting the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin or Kentucky, all of which are called doubtful. He is confident that MT. Bryan will get the remaining tbirty-four votes from those states, Ohio and Indiana, he thought certain for Bryan.
 "As for. Michigan" he continued. Ut is more than likely to give it's votes the same way. There does not em to be any combination whereby MT. Bryan can be defeated. The Republican man. agsrs are badly frightened because they are beginning to realize the strength of the undercurrent that is running so strongly for Bryan"
 MT. Cannon will make several speeches in Utah tl.is week, being billed by even the Republican cam palgn with Congressional Candidate Holbrook at Mercur on Tuesday even- ing. Afterwards he expects to make several addresses i'll Idaho, whence he will, in all probability, immediately re.

TROUBLE IN MOHAVE.

R. J Hartman was requested by the Republicans of Mohave county to re- sign from his position as chairman of the county central committee. The cause of this action was that Hartman stands charged with betrayal of his party associates ill voting for the en- dorsement of the St. Louis platform while acting on the committee on reso- tons of the late Republican Territorial convention, Hartman's action was di- ametricalDy in opposition to the in- struetions given him by the Mohave County Republicans. After beng fired of the central committee, Hartman, who had previously been nominated as the candidate for probate judge on the Republican ticket, asked that his name be erased therefrom.

His UnprOfesSiOnal Advice.

Two or three lawyers were discussing the tricks of their trade.
 A big burly fellow from the Michi- gan pine forests came into my office," said one of them, "and told a very mean story about rich man here in town who was trying to cheat hlm out of $2,0U0 ar $3, GOO and who had manag- ed to get pretty tight clutch on the money. Tbe backwoCdsman looked and talked like an honest man, and the old miser's reputation was about mean enough 10 match the story, so felt in clined to believe 1t. When he had fin- ished, looked him up and down from nead to foot. He asked me what was looking him over for. 'WelI,' sad I, was thinking that if I were over six feet tall and as powerful man as you I wouldn't hire lawyer to help me get my money The mans excited face smoothed out into blank astonishment. What do you mean? he said. l an- swered: I mean just what I gay. You are sure, are you that be has that money in hls office ? He had It there last night Well, you don't need g lawyer

The Sulphur Valley News says: The trouble at Palomas does not appear to have been so serious as was at first be- lieved. Only two or three persons were killed and the number of insurTection- ists was less than originally reported. The most serious feature of the case is the evidence furnished by these petty uprisings of a prevalent dIscontent among the Indians and lower class of Mexicans of Northern Mexico, and a general disposition toward T1volt, which under Bkillful leadership. might easily be made the basis for a serious revolu- tion. Nothing succeeds like success. and if the attack on the custom house at Nogales, or the later attempt at Pa. lomas, had been successful, the situa- ton ln Sonora might now be very diff ferent.

Senator J. K. Jones.

Review of Reviews
 And so, to sum up the capabilities oi the chairman of the new Democracy, it is fair and just to say that he has proved his modesty. his sincerity. and his shrewdness. Perhaps no political manager was ever confronted by so per plexlng problem as is now offered him. No chairman in a national cam paign had ever so slender a campaign fund. No man in like position had ever so eager, so earnest, so clamorous con- stltuency: Senator Jones is probably not unaware of the condition which confronts hlm, but he has that placid, even stolid temperament which makes the many think that he is blind to the responsibilities of his position.

A Mistake.
Detroit Free Press l

Lawyer Lisner was attending court in 8 country town and stopped at the best hotel. At dinner he ordered, to- gether with other things, a cut of roast beef. When the waiter brought his dinner he forgot the beef.
 Where's the bovine? ?" asked Mr. Lisner.
 The which, sah ?" asked the puz- zled waiter.
 "The bovine that l particularly or dered ?"
 The man picked up the menu and read it over carefully. Then he left the dining room with troubled face, but soon returned.
 "It's mistake, sah," he said bland ly, the cook says he ain't done serve no boovene to-day, sah."

Bryan's Statement.

William Jennings Bryan, while at Cincinnati, Ohio, recently, gave out the following statement for publica- tion:
 "I have no doubt of my election. I base my confidence upon the fact that the free coinage sentiment is growing every day. People are studying the money question, and the study of it is convincing people generally that there can be no permanent prosperity as long as the gold standard is maintained.
 The gold standard makes a dearer dollar. A dearer dollar means falling prces. and falling prices means hard times. People who profit by hard times are relatively so few in number that they would amount to nothing at all bu' for tine fact that they are aided by considerable number of people who, not having studied the money question themselves. have received in. structions from few 6nanciers. The number of republicans who have de- clared for free silver cutnumbers the democrats who ha.e deserted the tick. ct, ana while the number of silver re. publicans Is increasing all the time, the number of boitlng democrats is all the tims decreasing.
 While l havo no doubt as to my cleo ton, believe the advocates of free coinage should work from now to cleo tion day to make the majority in the electoral college so large that no party hereafter will ever dare to propose sub- mission to foreign financial policy"

SUNBEAM IN LOVE.

lCh'cago Tribune.l Naughty Cupid. little mi sch'ef, Tired of woundi lg human hearts, Took one day golden arrow
 Fashioned by his dainty arts Sho it straight into sunbeam Speeding through the balmy ai-. Woud Ih sunbeam love and sufeI- Not bit did Cupid care. To the sunbeam, rising early,
 Came glad and sweet surprise, For moo beam, faintly glowing, Passed before his ardent eyes. Then the sunbeam kissed the moonbeam But the moonbeaIn fled away, And the sunbeam, fast pursuing, Vsinly sought her all the day. In the evening went the sunbeam, Weary to willing rest: He had sought the round earth over In the ardor of his quest. Though his search had been unfruitful And unsatisfed his love. Yet the world was brig t and smiling, Gladdened as he passed above.
