MORE SOPHISTRY.

N o. Murphy. Delegate to Congress, arrived last night from the east and is being accorded @ hearty reception by people generally. He will remain but 8 few days and goes to Southern Ar izona, returning however early in September to remain until duty calls him to his post at Wash ington.-Joumal-Miner
 In the course of his interview, MT. Murphy WAS moved to emit the follow ing remarkable expression as to his faith: "That he was now, as he had al- ways been, Republican, and at the same time an advocate of the white metal" Can it be that Mir. Murphy is not alone Congressman from Arizona, but also g Nineteenth century seer ? That he sees, through his precedence, the handwriting on the wall-"Victory for Bryan, Silver and the People"-and that he desires to be properly recorded on the subject by his future biographers ? In this respect, Mir. Murphy reminds us of countryman of our own, who, in 8 paroxysm of patriotism, moved the con- ventien that the notices of the United States and Ireland be blended to read |: Erin go Unum, E Furious Bragh.

kindly coercion, they would go to the
 polls and actually vote against the in- terests of their friends and benefactors,
 the gold monopolists. This must not be,
 Heroic measures must be adopted.
 While the hearts of the gold owners
 bleed for vou, yet, in your own interest, you must be made hungry. Hunger is a great enlightener. The rack would be quicker; but that instrument, unfortu- nately for the cause, has been abolished. So, while your benefactors regret the slowness of the hunger remedy; still, under the present circumstances, it is their most effective persuader. There fore. where you have free silver tenden. cies. you must be discharged from your employment. In large mills and facto. riss, where there are so many of you acknowledging such silver heresy that you cannot be picked out readily, the mill or factory will be shut down. This, of course, will entail . big loss upon your employer, but what of that? His heart is big with love for you. He will pour out his gold like water to win you from your silver way. Let his loss be never 30 large, he will bear it with be- coming fortitude, knowing that his re- ward will be great on the last day when the Hanna poodle is distributed.

No Bryan Man Need Apply.
New York World.

New York World.
 Delegate George Washington Jones, of the Amalgamated Clothing Cutters, Association, wears big Bryan button on the lapel of his coat. He reported to the Central Labor union yesterday that the button is preventing him from getting a job, but that he means to wear it until the campaign is over.
 "A few days ago" "said Delegate Jones, "I went to an employer who knows that I am @ good mechanic and who wants men. T want job, said to him.
 "What's that you've got on your coat?' said the employer.
 That's Bryan button,' said.
 "'Oh, yes,' he said, looking at the button critically. Well, you can't get 8 job here. No man who votes for sil. yer lunatics can work for me-
 'Is not this 8 free country?'
 "Yes.'
 "'Can't man wear any kind of but. ton he wants to?'
 "Yes.'
 "'WelI, then, why do you refuse to Uve me a job?'
 "'Because this is free country and any man who dosen't want to employ a workman who wears Bryan button can refuse to take him."

Ethics of the Law.

The ethics of the difference between the professional opinion of paid advo- cate and the honest conviction of a learned man was set forth by weli- known English barrister who died re- gently, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The story is not to be found in the rem- iniscences which be published very shortly before his death. It was a case of murder, and client and counsel were closeted together.
 "Smith," said the barrister; of course I know you didn't murder the man, but as 8 matter of fact, did you do it with the butt end of revolver or with a stick?"
 "Sir," said Smith, II swear am in- nocent."
 "I know that perfertly we'll, but you must tell me. For ifyou did it with the revolver shall say to the prosecution, Produce the stick" and if you did it with the stick shall say, Produce the revolverp'
 The client paused and scratched his head meditatively. "It was the butt end of the revolver. sir"
 That's right" said the counsel, "I think can get you of now."

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

This is campaign of education. If you doubt it, read Bourke Cochran's s speech, and any and ail of the gold Re- publican newspapers. It is of highly edifying character, at that. As educa- tors of the workingmen, the single
 standard buccaneers ought to be shin- ing success, but their estimate of the intelligence of our great laboring classes is not of that exalted character that one would look for when coming from edu- catOrs who boast of their understanding of the great middle classes, and who style themselves the opinion moulders of the people. The workingman cannot fail to appreciate their disinterested- ness. Who ever before heard of edu- cators starving their pupils in order to inculcate their preceptsf But, on the
 other hand, who ever saw such hard headed and willful workingmen as we have in the present century? Men of toll who are 80 dead to the beauties of the single standard, ot such obstinacy and pig-hesded ignorance that without

A Disguised Legislator.

An Illinois man who recently declined to accept a renomination for the legis- lsture gave the following reasons for his decision:
 "I do not like the legislature: do not drink whisky; can't play poker, can't tell 8 story, and am not in it lit- tie bit with the boys. Then the legis- lature meets at 10 and adjourns st II; meets at 2 and quits at 4. We leave Springfield Thursday and get back Tuesday. An honest member feels like be was dead beat, and hates to face honest men who know he is drawing $5 day and doing almost nothing to earn it. If any one wants to know how rot ten Illinois politics are he ought to go to Springfield and stay three days or g week, and he will te disgusted to the end of time. If the people knew what the conduct of the average legislators is, they would surely be up in arms about it."

COLONEL J. F. WILSON, attorney gen. ersl of this Territory, in answer to let ter directed to him by Hon. T. E. Dal. ton, superintendent of public instruc- tion, requesting an opinion on Act 18th, of the Eighteenth Legislative assembly, says that said Act Is does not apply to school trustees, and that boards of su. pervisors have nothing to do wi h them that school boards are creatures of the school law, and are selected and gov. erned by it alone, boards of supervisors having no control over their qualifica. tions or disquali6cations, and that in enacting the law the legislature had nc intention that they should have.

HE WAS A GENTLEMAN.
The Sad Fate of an Arkansas
 Young Man.

Back of Duvall's Bluff, in Arkansas is country where schools are scarce, and civilization of the most primitive ! type, says the Washington Star. A prominent attorney ofthis city had occasion to go down there short time ago to look over some land titles. and stopped over night at jog cabin. which contained one room and loft. The only occupant was white-haired old man. too feeble to walk without the aid of heavy cane.
 "Are you not lonely here?" asked the lawyer.
 "Yep."
 "Have you no friends to whom you could go?"
 ''I reckon my darter'd keer for me, in Memphis, but bein' sartin Provi- dence air my way, Pm stayin', hoping ter git about by spring."
