THE FIGHT In VIRGINIA.

The Baltimore American says that It
would not be surprising II Bryan failed
to carry Virginia because II thinks that
the third ticket people will poll
big vote. 1t says also that
the farmer vote Is overrated, and
that the Republicans are we'll
organized and are going to make n
strong fight. These are good reasons. to
be sure. IL they were true. but 1t is not
true that the third ticket people will
cast over $4,000 votes. as the American
claims. and 1t is not true that the farm
ers' vote is overrated. 1t may be,
though, that the Republicans are or
ganized-it would be strange II they
We're not. When the vote Is counted
however. the surprises will not be of the
American; liking.

"THE COERCION OF VOTERS"

The Knoxville Tribune, speaking O
pressure being brought to bear il
certain quarters to compel employees Il
cast their votes for Mckinley, write
as follows:
THE influence of wealth will be
exercised in the coming election in
many ways. The outright purchase
of voters is only one Of the ways
IN which the power OF wealth may
be exercised in the campaign. Mark
Hanna. as the boss boodler, has all
the funds he desires for the purpose
of corruption, and for the employ
ment of speakers. the printing Of
campaign literature and the hiring of
campaign liars. Whatever cash that
may be needed for these purposes
will be forthcoming from the pletho-
ric pockets OF the syndicate OF mil
lionaires whom Hanna has appoint
ed as committee and whose wealth
aggregates over s700 200, 600 But
that Is not the only way in which
the power of wealth will be felt in
the campaign. There are many cor
porations, manufactures, railroads,
mills, etc, who will not hesitate to
attempt to coerce their employees 30
vote as they dictate. Some of them
have already given notice that their
employees must vote as they dictate
or they Will find themselves out OF
job. The threats of others are
more yelled and diplomatic. but they
all mean the same thing. All voters
with any manhood naturally feel
resentful when the control OF their
votes are thus attempted. but there
are many of them, doubtless, who
VIII humbly submit through fear Of
losing their positions, which means
living for themselves and families.
And yet, this is free countiy--th
land OF free thought and action. TIL

SAVE SYMPATHY FOR YOUR.
SELVES.

Some OF the Republican newspapers
are endcavo:ing to picture Mr.. ST. John,
the treasurer OF the Democratic cam
paisn committee. as a pathetic figure,
saying that that there are no funds in the
treasury, and that having spent large
sums of his own in the interest or the
party, with no prospect of being reim-
bursed, he is in a pitiable condition.
The Savannah News. however, has
the following to say on the subject:
I've don't know whether he has funds
for campaign work or not. but Ii Is
prdtty safe to say that whatever money
is needed TO conduct the campaign salts
factorily will be supplied. 1t is proba-
bly, true that a majority OF the very
wealthy Democrats are opposed TO the
Chicago ticket-Democrats who have
heret oforel given freely for capaign pur-
poses-but Che campaign will not suffer
for money to meet necessary expenses be-
cause of their detection. The earnest
supporters OF the ticlSGt WIN see to It that
money sufficient to carry on the cam
paign as It should be conducted is forth
coming"
This is correct, and our friends the
enemy, need feel no concern for either
Treasurer ST. John or the Democratic
party SO far as funds are concerned
There is man in Canton for whom they
should save their sympathy-he'll need
1t after November.

Tribune Is doubtless right in saying
that many employees will vote as they
are told for fear Of losing employment,
but the large majority of them will
not be coerced Into voting against their
sentiments. while others will say no
thing. but when the time comes vote
the Democratic ticket y man sells his
time and labor TO his employer. but
not his principles. Don't forget this.

 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

Awhite man first set foot On what is now Fnma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the foar original counties of the Ter ritSry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
 ornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which Is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, tie new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she is the center Of country whose agricultural possibul- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise Of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters Of fine yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY
 Because it's mines are the richest.
 Because it's grazing lands are the best.
 Because it's farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because it gives assurance of the largest returns on money invested.
 Because its grand resources are yet to be developed.
 Because it is young, growing county with an assured future.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in manufacturing enterprises are better than in any other region of the West.
 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures.
 Because there is demand for additional facilities for ore reduction.
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells.
 Because there are many openings in new county which cannot exist in older com munitIes.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part Of the United States
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet to come. Because it Is virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of ln era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited So long is breaking at last There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 1 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates q great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest arc falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt. with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletiOn of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out Of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands,
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance from the moral pointlof view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element It think 1t is certain that arizona has not to day nearly so large 8 Mexican population as Colorado and not above one tenth as much as New Mexico "Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.
