JANUARY JINGLES.

PLEASE HURRY UP.
There's jolly lot of wooing,
And there's billing and there's
cooling,
But about the final step they're hest
tating;
Not wedding card we've printed,
Not wedding cen is limited,
And the News is getting mighty
tired of waiting.

FORGING AHEAD.

As it is generally conceded that William Mckinley will receive the Republican nomination for president and that the convention will declare for the gold standard, the attention of the people in the west turns to the democratic convention which is to be held in Chicago July '. Those who have watched closely the preliminary contests in the several states for the choice of delegates must feel gratitied by the growing strength of the silver cause. With the single exception of Michigan, where through treachery and overconiidence the silver men were defeated, the gains for silver have been pronounced wherever real con. test took place.
 Among the most important states where conventions are yet to be held, Illinois and Iowa are conceded to silver, and the administration democrats threaten division of the party in those states by holding separate conventions and sending contesting delegations to Chicago. In Kentucky, despite the exertions of the administration to se- cure the election of delegation pledged to gold, the silver cause is forging ahead and the gold standard faction is demoralized by the announcement of Secretary Carlisle's withdrawal from active participation in the campaign in that state.
 A conservative estimate of the rel ative strength of the opposing forces in the national convention gives silver 509 votes and gold 394, majority for silver of l05. Conceding to the admin istration every state which they may reasonably hope to win, silver would still have a majority. The financial issue so overshadows every other considera- ton that the question of candidates has been almost lost sight of. The fight will be for principle rather than men and the will of the people will prevail.

such documents Tn manner to insure them the widest circulation. and to be at all times prepared to give such facts and statistics regarding the territory as the immigrant, settler and capitalist may desire.
 That is about all that is required of him, except that he must attend a meeting of the commissioners, to be held at least once year, at the capital of the territory, and must himself defray the expenses of such trip. If the commissioner attended faithfully and industriously to these manifold duties, he could doubtless employ most of his idle moments when not transact ing his own private business. But there is one grave omission in the bill, in that the commissioners are not sev- erally required to meet immigrants with brass band on the border of the territory and escort them triumphantly to the abode selected for them.

PIMA COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
Favor Free Coinage of SiIver--Repu- diate Cleveland's Financial Views.

Favor Free Coinage of SiIver--Repu-
 diate Cleveland's Financial Views.
 At meeting of the county central committee Tn Tucson, May l6, the fol- lowing resolution, proposed by Mir. Finley, was adopted enthusiastically:
 Resolved, That the democratic party of Pima county, through it's represent atives, IS hereby pledged to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and that through its representatives the demo- crats of the county ropudiate the well known views on the silver question of the present national administration.
 The following offered by Judge Barnes, accentuating the views of the democrats of the courIty on the silver question, was heartily adopted:
 "We favor bimetallism, that is the use of gold and silver equally and with out discrimination and the coins of both
 
 as money of redemption and in full legal tender. To this end we demand the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver as was established by law prior to 1873 at the ratio of l6 to |. In this we should not wait for other countries, but should act independently. To increase the amount of silver in the dollar as established at the foundation of tho government would be an act of injustice. The delegates from this county to the territorial convention are instructed to vote as unit, as ma jority may direct, to secure delegates to the Chicago convention in harmony with the above views"
 The following delegates to the terri torial convention were chosen: NJ. G.. Samaniego, c. A. Hoff, NJ. Gervais. F. G. Hughes, J. B. Scott, James Leahy, c. A. Brown, N. W. Bernard, John Maloney, James Finley and Pedro Pellon.

FREE SILVER AND PROSPERITY
 IN MEXICO.

Those who favor A gold standard are fond of citing Mexico as a notable example of the ruinous effect of the free coinage of silver, asserting that labor in Mexico is paid in 50-cent dollars and that the prices of all com modities is doubled by the depreciation of Mexican silver coin. The same re- suits, they argue, would follow the adoption of free silver coinage in the United States. This reasoning is not borne out by comparison of the con- ditions prevailing in the United States and Mexico.
 Our southern neighbcr never ex- perienced so great prosperity as it is now enjoying. President Diaz's mes sage to the Mexican congress is gratify- ing from domestic point of view. The finances of the country are in @ more satisfactory condition than ever before since the republic was founded. In place of the annually recurring deficit the receipts now exceed expenditures and leave surplus of over S2, 900, 900, and this in face of the fact that taxes are being reduced. The fall in the price of silver has not been altogether detrimental to the republic of Mexico. It has taught economy and stimulated industry and home manufacture. I'm ports, which are paid for in gold, have greatly decreased, while the native production is growing rapidly, and ex- ports, which are also paid for in gold, show considerable increase.
 Commenting on the prosperous con dition of Mexico, the Engineering and Mining Journal says "Tbe country itself being 80 self-supporting is won- derfully independent of the foreign trade. To great extent the imports are articles of luxury, or at all events belong to the class of important public works, and do not much affect the ordinary citizen, and throughout the length and breadth of the republic silver will purchase almost tha same quantity and quality of native supplies as it did formerly"

Another attempt is to be made to raise the copper laden steamer Pewabic, which sunk in Thunder bay, Lake Huron, thirty years ago, in ls0 feet of water, by the American Salvage & Wrecking company. The company re- ports successful test in 220 feet of water in Milwaukee bay. It is said that there will be no trouble in work in water at depth of from 200 to 3C0 feet. The Pewabic was sunk in a collision with the Meteor. The copper cargo is valued at about S60, 900. IL has been found impossible for divers to work at so great depth of water as the Pewabic is in, and some years ago a diver named Pelig was killed in an attempt to raise the steamer. The bell to be used is built of steel. one inch in thickness, and is six feet in diameter and eight feet in height. It weighs 5000 pounds.

Memorial Day Proclamation.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA, EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
 The 30th day of May is Memorial Day. By legal authority it is held and set apart as public holiday. A day devoted to the memory of men who offered up their lives upon the altar of their country, and who died that the republic might live. and the union of the states be one an iuseparable.
 Their heroic achievements will live in story and in song as long as civiliza- ton exists, and their virtues will be extolled and emulated by all who love liberty and revere patriotism.
 "On flames eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents are spread,
 And glory guards with solemn round
 The bvouac of the dead"
 Now, therefore, l, Benjamin J. Franklin, governor of Arizona, do hereby recommend that the 30th day of May be observed by all the people of this territory as Memorial Day, that the graves of the fallen soldiers be decorated with flowers and that appro- priate services be held in tribute to the memory of the heroic dead.
 Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 18th day of May, 1896.

 Assistant Secretary of Arizona.

The strength of the copper market, ip the face of largely increased pro duction, is very gratifying, and is due chiefly to continued heavy exports, the refiners finding it difficult to turn out the copper fast enough. The home demand also shows some improvement. Lake copper is quoted at l0;@llc.

NOT COMPETENT JUDGES.
Labor Commissioners Powers OF
Labor Criticisms.

Labor Commissioner Powers, referring to
the state federation resolutions, yesterday
said:
During the first session of the legislature
held after l entered this office, I succeeded
in having as many laws in the interest of la
Dor passed as had ever been enacted by
all the previous legislatures put together.
l think / have framed more labor laws than
any other labor commissioner in the United
States. The following session this department
was instructed In securing additional bene-
fetal labor legislation. Two of the measures
we have been interested in the child labor
law and that providing for factory inspec-
ton, have been of the utmost practical bene-
fit. The first is as we'll drawn as any law of
similar purport in the country, and under
the second the number of accidents had been
materially lessened. But one state, and that
New York looks to stricter enforcement Of
the child labor law. In Minneapolis alone
since the passage of that measure, We
have closed twenty-five factories where chill
dren of under 16 have been working. If
those who have criticised this department
have interest and sympathy in advancing
those ends which they announce they seek
to obtain 1t seems to me that it would be
far wiser to treat this question a matter
