Keeping Accounts with the Farm.

Keeping Accounts With the Farm.
Farm RS as a rule are too negli-
gent in this matter They often com
plain of haid times. cheap wheat and
low prices for all other farm products,
when they are utterly unable to state
inst what their products cost them per
bushel or per ton. 1t is one of the most
satisfactory accounts farmer can keep
and has been largely the means of en-
abling the writer to reduce the cost of
producing a bushel of wheat from $I.2s
in 1882 to "a cents in 1894, allowing the
same pay for labor expended and for
rental of land in each case. The cost of
all other crops was also reduced, but the
reductions were not so marked as in the
case noted. While it has strong ten
dency to reduce the cost of production,
this is not all. 1t enables farmer to
products at prices prevailing when he
wants to sell. If he raises them at a
loss he will know it, and again it is
great help in showing him which crop
pays best on the farm, SO that he can
grow more of what is adapted to his soil
and climate and is most profitable.
Amy cheap memorandum book will
answer the purpose, but an index ledger
is better. Then plant your farm and
name or number the fields, stating how
many acres each contains. When you
begin farm operations in the spring
charge the field with all the labor at
given price for hand and team, given
price for hand where team is not used,
llso all seed grain at what it is worth at

SILVER VS.. TIE TARIFF.

"Senatcr Aldrich said the other day in
answer to a question from a PopuIist,
that he would not accept free silver if it
were coupled with the Mckinley or any
other kind of tariff; that he would not
in fact. accept it under any circumstanc-
es except it were accompanied by an
international readjustment of the ratio
between the metals and general open
ing of the minis of the world to silver.
This provoked retorts from populists
and silver republicans that Aldrich and
his party are not bimettalists. Carter and
a few others of his region who have
been calling themselves republicans, pre-
tend they believe the republican plat
form declaration of 1892 promises favors
to silver but their opinions at present
have no weight with the republican
party.
The Rhode Island senator is right on
this question of the tariff VS.. silver. If
the country be forced to wait for new
and better tariff legislation until the re-
publican party declares for free silver
the Wilson, ormon act will remain on
the same statute book eternally. 1t is
said to be the purpose of the silverite re-
publican senators to join with the demo
Gratis in the republican congress to be
chosen this year and defeat every tariff
bill the party frames unless a promise

OUR CANDIDATE.

Judge Hawkins is said to be a candidate for congress If the Democratic party nominates John J. Hawkins, the party will have g first class candidate Gazette
 And this fact, as stated above, is the first morsel of political comfort we have imbibed throughout the present cam paign. We have never wavered from the knowledge of the fact that John J Hawkins is the logical candidate of the Democracy; that the people want him, and that his election is ioregone con clusion, no matter who is nominated on the other side. And yet, with all this weight of conviction on our mind, we were all along "groping in darkness. " We needed the opinion of Judge Flaw klns in the matter. The above state- ment from the most reliable of our Dem ocratic contemporaries in Arizona. though, lets in whole flood of light, and we assume the Judge has publicly announced his candidacy Good there is not a Democrat nor a Democratic journal in Arizona but can Loyalty sup port him. There can be no faction within the party but can unite on Judge Haw- kins; and, in our humble opinion, he will not only be frst-class candidate, but a safe winner.

The SWine PIagne.

The Tucson Citizen, of April ?, pub- fishes an interesting interview had with Hon. Colin Cameron regarding the late swine plague outbreak in the Salt river valley. MT. Cameron denied the state- ment that Dr. Richmond, the former veterinarian, had urged the owners of the infected swine to quarantine them. On the contrary, he advised against any quarantine, telling the owners there was nothing whatever the matter with thelr hogs.
 As result of this evident lack of knowledge on the part of the veterin- arian, the sanitary commission ap- pointed Prof. Devol to take charge of the quarantine. which action of the commission was later approved by Gov. Franklin.
 In reply to the query, put by the Cit- izen reporter to MT. Cameron, Have you resigned as live stock sanitary commissioner ?" the answer was:
 "I tried to do so, but Gov. Franklin would not let me; the Governor con- sidsring the interests of the stockmen paramount to all other considerations, and insisted upon my remaining on the board.''
 The interview is very interesting reading, but for lack of space, we are deterred from giving iL entire.

IT is greatly to be hoped that the pres ent congress will take that tloug-deferred rest so anxiously waited for by the peo- pie, at the earliest possible moment. If the present congress had before them the good of the people, or the honor and integrity of our government, they would not waste more time and money in use. less controversy and inane Reclamation. Through the legislative deadlock now in force. they can do no good by longer re- maining in session, only to enhance the public debt, and this they have already done so effectively that if this was their sole purpose (which undoubtedly it was) they have succeeded completely, and might as we'll leave good enough alone Of all the sorry, misguided and pohtico- criminal congresses that ever the coun- try was cursed with, the present aggre- gation deserves the palm.

THE TWO ISSUES.
An exchange says:

An exchange says:
 The Republican party never dedged a respon- sibility. and will not now when everybody is looking to the party to bring about a return of prosperity
 We rise to prefer the following inter rogatory: Prosperity for who7 For the people or for ''de masheen?" If the answer is, for the people, then we would ask one more question. How? There are two great issues before the people of these United States that must be de- cided the coming fall-one the great Re- publican theory of high protection, the other the national issue, government finance, the former a creature of that party, the latter the natural outcome of our false monetary system and the pop ular demand of the people for more money circulation. These are the only two questions the people care rap about, and in order that the Republican party play the role of Moses, they must adopt one of the two, if not both-high protection and free silver. These are issues that can not be lodged. Now, let us see how this great party, this champion of the rights and prosperity of the people, stands to- day in reference to either. The recent national congress had before it, during the entire session, bill to put wool On the protective list This same congress was largely Repub- lIcan. It's passage or otherwise was entirely in their power. Did they pass it? Of course, not. One of the Repub- lican senators in that same congress, in a public speech, said openly. that the Republican party never intended that it should pass. Other leaders of the great party so solicitous for the prosperity of the people unhesitatingly say wool will never again be protected by tariff, and yet the wool men of the United States, like the plague-stricken sufferers of the south, waiting for the frost, are looking hopefully to the Republican party to give wool a duty. Fatal delusion And so much for the hope of prosperity through the Republican party from this issue-protective tariff.
 Take the silver coinage question; what is the g. o. p. going to do for the people here? The same old story-trick- cry and deception. Mckinley, the god of the party, tie man they hope to elect chief executive. evades the ques- tion. He wiDks unctIously on both in- terrogators-the gold bug and the silver bug-but gives utterance to no sound a veritable sphynx, and yet from reliable sources he is known as pronounced gold bug.
 Oh, no; the Republican party never lodges responsibility Tie question naturally arises here, Did they ever as- sume responsibility that needed dodg- ing? And echo says: "Never!" And from present indications they are not attaching themselves to any responsi- bilities of the people at the present time, at least. not that they know of. So, "de masheen" takes the persimmon.

SHOALS AHEAD.

The old and trite saying, "Uneasy lies the head that wears crown" can with equal force and truth be applied to one who scars aloft into prominence on the wave of popular opinion. The ex- emplifcation is much easier in the lat ter than the former William Mckinley, who for the past two months has been carried headlong on the restless current of public popularity, and been shunted into worldwide prominence by the re- sistless force, is beginning to realize
 hat there is such thing as the under tow. 1t has already set in in the east ern states. By June, Mckinley may find himself among the cruel breakers, wEere many promising candidate has gone down in the maelstrom Of adverse opinion

WILL NOT WEAR COLLARS.

The Arlzona Weekly Herald says:
 Arizona will be rep esented in the Republican National convention by delegation from the business men of the Territory; men who wear no collar.
 The absence of collar cuts but little difference out here in the wild and woody west, but you must remember. Brother Morford, this delegation will necessarily come in contact with the pampered and effete scions of our most illustrious families of the east, where etiquette is considered above all things. Don't have them appear, then, in St. Louis thus hampered, but rather by good advice, timely encouragement, and friendly example, if possible, persuade them to not only wear collars, but gal fuses. Remember, we are struggling for statehood, and appearances are ev- erything.

The course of treatment for such con- dition is plain and simple. The blood must first be purified so that the nerv- ous system. and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people without number have testified that the best blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength imparting medicine IS Hoods Sarsaparllla. Nervousness, Joss of sleep and general debility all vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persist ently taken; in a word, health and hap piness follows after tIking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistsntly neg lects his health, and the means of pre- serving it. Many persons who are not constitutional idiots do this. They are genuine objects of compassion as we'll as censure. A failure of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh impaired digestion an uncertain state of the bowels and symptoms of biliousness are so many warnings of the approach of disease. To disregard them is &hject folly, which of fended nature in due time punishes severely, if not fatally. That genial and thoroughly reliable preventive of bodily mischief in the shape of chronic disease, Hostetter's Stomach Ritters, will, if re- sorted to in time, avert those disorders, to the removal of which it is also fully adequate. Among these are chrome indigestion, liver complaint, kidney trouble constipation, nervousness, rheumatism and malaria.

THE Democratic party of Arizona can not af- ford to elect any man to the Chicago convention who can be manipulated from the Washington end of the line. We want free silver men, and we want to send men to the convention who have the courage and ability to say so in lan- guage that can not be misconstrued,
 The above is good "creed," pointed and unadorned. The Democratic party from this portion of the Territory can and will join hands with you on that sentiment. and from what we can glean from members of the party here, at the convention in Phenix, June 8, Apache county will be found in the van, fighting for Arizona, her people and her inter. ests.

REBUKE FROM A SENATOR

That was scathing rebnke adminis-
 tered to the Republican party by Sena- tor Teller, of Colorado, last week, before his party associates in ihe senate Cor mans attack, a few days prior. on the Republican policy respecting the tariff, and the reply of Senator Sherman a:- tempting to place the responsibility on the silver men for the failure to pass revenue legislation this session, was the cause of Teller's outburst of indigna- ton. Senator Teller charges the Repub- licans with gross falsehood, in that they never intended to pass a revenue bill No effort whatever was made by the party in that direction. It was intro duced merely to create a tariff issue and attract attention from the financial issue. In fact, according to Teller, the party was afraid that it would pass if they were too energetic, and thus spoil the prospects of some presidential can didate; serious charge against the Republican party, especially when com ing from man like Senator Teller, who has been tor more than forty years allied with that party. Such an arraignment of the g. o. p. falls with startling effect at this time, and the old adage holds good, that murder will out The SUD- pression of the revenue bill in congress, carrying tariff on wool, has been att tributed to the Democrats all along. Of course, any one of ordinary intelligence should know better. by reason of the Republican majority in congress. 9th CTS of a like intelligence would say, How can congress pass tariff bill when they know that President Cleveland will veto any such legislation? and other excuses of the same satisfactory order; while all the time the great party of protection, the party who cry continu ously to give the wool producers tariff, were simply humbugging the people. Take your medicine, ye Republican wool producers. Your hope is but false hope, and has been destroyed through Republican and a senator.
