 l. We approve and endorse th platform of the National People . Party adopted at St. Louis on Juiy 23rd 1896 and most heartily endorse the nc nina tion. by the convention, of " J Bryan and Thomas E. Watson tor president and vice-presIdent respectively. and fully approve the action of that con vention in refusing to endorse the nomi nation of Arthur Sewsll for vice presi dent by the Chicago convention.
 ?. We heartily approve tt platform adopted by the Peoples Party of Ariz- ons at Phenix on August 20th 1896 and heartily endorse tue nomination of Hon. wm' O'Neil for delegate to congress and pledge to him our best efforts for his election.
 5. We denoupce as unfitto be trust ed by the people. the men through whom, the present interest bearing debt of this county (about S2OO ,O00) has been created and we particularly de- nounce the system of extortion. peculs. ton, jobber corruption and bribery which with few exceptions has inhered on county offices for sixteen years. re sulting in a necessary tax levy Of S4 22 on the hundred dollars notwithstanding that the people have every year paid more taxes than would be sufficient to govern far larger and more popu- lous county if honestly administered.
 f. We have placed in nomination for county offices, men chosen from amongst the people, for the soul reason of our belief ip their honesty, and fit ness on the principle that the off se should seek the man, carefully avoiding all men even remotely connected with former tax eating and county swind- ling.
 ,. If our candidates or any Of them should be elected, We promise to watch them and use our best eIdeavors 10 See that they serve the people faithfully and honestly without extortion, fraud or oppression, and that they do not de- generate into county ringsters, and plnndering officials, and if they should so degenerate we promise to be first to expose them.
 6. We favor statehood for Arizona st the earliest possible date, but not under the constitution adopted by our SO called Democratic convention five years ago, as we believe it to be bocd- lers constitution, specially mapufactur- ed in the interests of bosses, ripgste,s and tax eaters. and we therefore earnestly urge our delegate 10 congress to introduce sn enabling.act, so iha, the people may form . constitution that will not be q disgrace to this, and . greivious burden to succeeding gener- atisns.
 :. We condemn the practice of ter ritorisl and county officers, in soliciting or receiving, railroad passes, as we consider all such fsvors, as incompst- ible with independsnt and impartial performance of duty.
 s. We invite the ,co-opsration and assistance of all honest citizens regard less of pi v who favor an honest ad- ministration of county and territorial affairs in the interest of all the people.

JONES OPINION
What the Chairman Says of
 "Our Mark"

To Frank P. Trott, Phoenix, Arizons.
 CHICAGO, Illinois, October 22.- My dear Sir-Mark Smith was e valuable delegate in congress, he was widely acquainted and very inAuen- ,ial. It would have given great grAt- ification 10 cur friends in the senate to have had Smith amongst us.
 We have favored tho admission of Arizona because It ought 10 be admit ted, but it was kept out by eastern preluiices, fearing tha. two silver men would come U the senate. l know that Smith's personal standing and character among the senators vas strong help toward statehood for Arizona.
 h my opinion no more efficient or capable man could be sent from ycur territory to congress, ard l am sure no man could render more sube,an- ,ial assistance.
 Sincerely hoping that he will be re- turned, l am very truly yours,
 JAMES K. JONES, Chairman

Law and LOn


In an address before the st. Louis
Law School, Chauncey NJ. Depew said:
The law promotes longevity. 1t is be-
cause its discipline improves the physi-
cal, the mental and the moral condi-
tons OF it's practitioner. In other words,
it gives him control over himself, and a
great philosopher has written that he
who could command himself is greater
than he who has captured a city. The
world has been seeking for all time the
secrets of longevity and happiness. II
they a be united. then we return to
the conditions of Methusalah and his
compatriots. Whether / may live to
their age ] know not, but / think I have
discovered the secret of Methusalah's
happy continuance for nearly 1000
years upon this planet. He stayed here
when he had no steam and no electric
fty, no steamers upon the river or the
ocean propelled by this mighty power,
no electric light. no railways spanning
the continent, no overhead wires and
no cables under the ocean commitment
Ing intelligence around the world, and
no trolley lines reducing the redundant
population. He lived, not becau use he
was free from the excitements incident
to the age OF steam and electricity, but
because Of the secret which I have dis
covered, and 1t is this: Longevity and
happiness depend upon what you put
IN your stomach and what gets in your
mind.

Crimes of an Explorer.

DR.. Peters exploits in Africa con
tinue to receive a larger share of public
attention at Berlin than he probably
cares for at the present moment. The
newspapers reproduce a very damag-
ing letter addressed by the Danish ex-
plorer. Herr S%cavenius, to the Copen.
hagen Politiken:
In the year 1894 l undertook an X
petition with three boats and eighteen
blacks UP the River Tana to the Eng
lish possessions in East Africa. A few
years before DIR. Peters had made prac.
tically the same journey, on the occa-
sion of his well-known expedition in
had in the meantime been through this
desolate region. When l had rowed
some 200 kilometers up stream the pop
ulation began to retire. On every side
| came across traces Of war. In the
neighborhood of Obangi l found eleven
villages that had been destroyed by fire,
and Everywhere skeletons Of men, wom-
en- and children, those of women and
children being especially numerous.
1T was almost impossible for me to
procure the necessary rice for my peo-
pie, for as soon as we approached the
whole populace fed panic-stricken.
The natives were terrified at my white
face, for the last white man they had
een was DIR. Peters, who had commit
ted all those atrocities. The English
commissioner in Lamu, MI. MacLeman.
remarked to myself and others, when
the conversation incidentally turned
upon DIR. Peters, II We had only caught
him then we should have hanged him
on the nearest tree "-LOndOn Times.

Spanish Blottine PAPER.

An English exchange says that in
Spain there are many manufactures
OF pasteboard, blotting and packing
paper, and these goods are exported to
the Spanish colonies In large quaint
ties" The plotting paper Is SO poor,
however, that the greatest care must
be exercised to prevent 1t from literally
becoming plotting paper. II the ma
tive article were not so very cheap.
American blotting paper might be sent
there; but Spaniards are very conom
ical, and as a rule regard price rather
than quality.

A Bold Rri4and.

Franz Csonka, a famous 74-year-old
brigand, was hanged recently for muir
der at Essegg, in Slavonia. He smoked
his pipe to the gallows. slapped the
hangman on the shoulder and said to
him: do your job well; don't make a
fool Of yourself" He was the most
fearless OF the band of Rosa Sandor.
with whom he committed many rob-
berries and murders in the Bakonyer
forests. They were captured with diff
hculty twenty-five years ago, when
Csonka declared he would confess to
murders only, the rest being merely
child's play. He was sentenced to
twenty years Imprisonment, from
which he was released a year ago, but
soon after committed an unusually
atrOcious murder, for which he was
executed. Rosza Sander was sentenced
to imprisonment for life. and died in
jail ten years ago. In Hungary he was
never looked upon as a common GRIM
inal, but rather as a hero of romance
He was a handsome man, the best
horseman in Hungary, and a great fav-
critic with the women. Kossuth ap-
pointed him leader Of a corps of volun-
teers in 1S49. His father was a brig
and like himself, belonging to the or.
ganized bands that kept judges and
police in their pay, and preventing ac-
cusations by fear of the vengeance Of
the organization.
