LOCAL MILITARY MATTERS.
Much Interest Manifested in the Mi
 litia Company.

General activity is now noted in military circles. Captain Coggins of the local militia company said that there is more interest being taken in '1he company now than at any time in the history of the organization. The complement of men now numbers forty-two men and others are being sworn in on every drill night.
 A new target has been made by Company B of this city and c of Tempe. It is an excellent range and on Thanksgiving day a competitive shoot will be held between picked teams of six men each from the com panies stationed here and Mesa and Tempe. A handsome silk flag will be put up as a trophy to the winning team.
 An effort will be made at the next session of Ehe legislature to have a bill passed making an appropriation for a cycle corps.

like the Irishman's fence. He
built it of stone and it was twice as
wide as it was high. He explain
ed that if it blew over it would be
higher than it ever was. Every
time the old parties turn the new
one over it appears about twice as
high as it was. 1t is now condi-
ton and not a theory that confronts
them.

Stronger Than Ever.

The PopuliSts for the most part
have been an organization of far
mers and workingmen, the best
and purest elements of American
society. They have advocated re-
form, particularly financial re-
form, and their principles have
gained strength and power all over
the land. Men who have ridiculcd
and abused the populists have been
compelled to embrace and advocate
their principles which are founded
in eternal justice and right. The
consequence has been that the cause
of populism has grown stronger
than ever with each succeeding
election. Defeat does not disconr-
age or divide them. Repeated
wrong and outrage binds them
closer together. Look at the pop
ulists in the fifth district. They
made a gallant fight in April for
Capt. Pharr and elected HIM with
their honest votes, but were rob-
bed of the fruits of their victory.
But. nothing daunted, the popu-
lists all over the district rallied
bravely to tho support Of Bcnoit
and the result showed that they
are stronger than ever in this dis
trict.
1t is so all over this land. They
are growing stronger every day !;
stronger in numbers, stronger in
determination, zeal and ability,
stronger in hope and power of en-
durance. They have already sew
en- members in the United States
senate which is more than any
party of its age ever accomplished.
And these great men, like all the
officers elected by the populists,
reflect credit upon them. The
new psrty is making a record that
commands the respect of the world.
Yet there are some fools that de-
clare that these men are ready to
return to the machine party which
has maligned, traduced and out
ragged them. Most of them quit
the democratic party because it
had degcnerated into an intolerant
machine, governed by hcelers and
bosses. They felt the crack of the
party lash welded by foul hands.
They witnessed the attempts to
the press, to stife free
speech, to suppress the will of the
people for the benefit Of Office
leeches who made private
out of the party. They
saw personally placed above prin-
cipIe and party success above the
peoples welfare.
Do you think these men who
rcbelled against such practices will
aver return to political bondage {
Why should they +! Why should
hey abandon the laurels and pa
,riotic enthusiasm they arc gaining |
everywhere +? Has the machine |
improved ? Do you think they |
nave gained confidence in demo-
,ratic pledges and platforms 2 ANY
nan who pretends to believe that
he populists will ever surrender
Ind return will believe anything.
He would believe that Texas is
'eady is to give her independ-
nee and return to allegiance to
Mexico. Perhaps it would be
