The Attorney General.


 The Star congratulates Judge J. F, Wilson on his appointment as attorney general. No more Sitting member of the barcould have been selected. Judge Wilson is the peer of any of the Demo- cratic members of the legal profe ssion in northern Arizona, we'll grounded in the principles of the common law, and his long and successful practice under the codes of several states makes him we'll fitted for the honorable office to which he has beet appointed. He is the re estor of the Democratic party of northern Arizona and has done much to advance the interest of the party.
 General T. D. Satterwhite resigned the office as soon as Governor Frank. lin's name was sent to the senate for confirmation. and insisted upon its ac. ceptance. It can be said that he has made a record of which the territory, the party and the appointing power had cause to be proud, Nomore fitting or acceptable successor could have been appointed than he upon whom the honor has been placed. The Star con. graduates Gonernor Franklin in his wise choice and General Wilson on an honor so worthily bestowed, and the retiring attorney general for his faith. ful and honest administration of the most distinguished office within the gift of the governor.

Invasion by Japan. .

The San Francisco Journal of com. merce says, editorially:
 It looks as if the Japanese were going to get strong hold in this country, to make tue United States the chief outlet for their produce.
 The ten that we used to get from Japan was excellent; but Americans in Amer ica wanted more for their money, and American shippers in Japan lowered the cost. They had to take poor tea, weight it with gypsum or stone powder, color it with Prussian Blue to "beautify it"-which makes poor tea even worse.
 In this way immense profits have been made at the expense of the Ameri- can public, and likewise at the expense of the Japanese producer, whose inter- est 1t is to have the best tea consumed. because people will like it, and so want more. Good tea increases the con- sumption of tea, while poor tea, weight ed and colored, tends to decrease the consumption.
 The American shippers stand between the interest of American consumers and the Japanese growers. The Japanese government seems to be quite aware of this. and, at the Worlds Fair, spent thousands of dollars showing America that We were not (and are not) using real Japan tea at all.
 We shall watch the proceedings with interest; for it will be good thing for the country to use good tea, and great thing for San Francisco, which, because of climate. harbor, and trade facilities. is the natural tea-port for the United States.

The thief, now languishing in the county jail, sold the watch to young man for $6, who at once left town headed for Cubero, N. NJ. As he had twenty hours start, the sheriff could not be sent after him at less cost to the county than $SO, double the value of the property. Through the advice of the district at- torney and the assistance of J. R.

New York World. l

New York World.l
 The address of President Kruger of the Transvaal Republic, at the opening of the Volksraad or Parliament yester- day, offers many points for the admira- ton of democrats all over the world. and especially in this country.
 His speech is merely plain unpre. tending statement of the conditions which surround the opening of the Parliament, and its homely and simple manner is true reflection not merely of the tone and temper of President Kruger, but of those of the burghers whom he represents.
 Yet it is impossible while reading it to forget the very creditable record which these burghers and their Presi- dent have made in resisting the aggres. sive designs of British influence in South Africa. From first to last the simple Dutch farmers have proven themselves the better men. Both on the field of battle and in the field of diplomacy they have shown that com mon sense, honesty and devotion to principle are more than a match for intrigue. greed and rapacity.
 The plain language of President Rutgers speech sums up the triumph of government of the people over the monarchic and aristocratic political organization which directs the course of Great Britain at home and Tn Africa. In this light it will be read with satis- faction by all who believe that the plain common people are generally able to govern themselves, and that it is safe to trust them with the responsi- bility of government.

DEAD AND DAMNED.

Why can not Dem ocrats, Populists
and Republicans who believe in the
free coinage of silver and gold unite
their forces on election day in the
same manner as the free coinage men
have done in the Senate during the
present session OF Congressf If the
free-coinage Republicans had voted
with their party friends the new bond
bill and the forty million dollar tariff
taxation bill would in all probability
have by this time become laws, greatly
to the injury Of the country, A ma
jority of the Senate of the United
States is in favor of free coinage, and
this majority has acted together, with
out any reference to former political
ties, and by so doing has been sue
cessful Can there be any doubt, if
the friends OF free coinage all over the
the country would lay aside party
prejudices and come together, that
but three-fourths of the Governors and
all the other State officers in the diff
ferent States, and three fourths OF the
county and city officers within the
bounds of the Republic?
The chief thing in the way of such
q union is the little politicians every
where to be found who desire to work
up the party spirit in order to lift
themselves into Office. These Office
seekers who oppose union for the most
part are non-taxpayers and many of
them without character and with lit
tie or no standing in the community
in which they live. And yet, by their
persistent activity, not for the public
good but wholly and solely for self,
they stand in the way Of this great
movement. The honest, hard working
men and taxpayers should push these
excrescenses aside and step to the
front and act as becomes good citizens
and patriots. The free coinage move,
ment is not the work IF politicians
but it is movement of the people, for
the people, and by the people. Neither
the oddities on the one hand, nor the
petty politicians on the other, should
prevent the people from uniting upon
this great question and pushing the
movement forward to success,
The free coinage men in the Senate
of the United States have set good
example that should be followed
They have defeated the House bond
bill, and have killed the forty million
taxation bill In the words of Senator
Frye, 1.-THE latter is now as dead a:
Julius Caesar. II the friends of free
coinage shall unite at the coming
election as the senators united to de-
feat these measures, then the goldite
movement in this country will not
only be dead but forever damned and
placed beyond the hope of resurrec'
tion.--Spokane Chronicle.
