he began to do business for himself he
tried and tried for years to shake off
the old habits and contract new and

and he had given up in despair.
AS the twig is bent, the tree is in

two young children when his wife died.
The youngsters were taken to live with
their grandparents on the mothers
side. When the girl was twelve and
the boy fourteen, the father married
again and took the children with him to
live; but as the grandparents were
slack and indolent, the children con-
tracted such habits, of course. The
father is neat, precise man, and it is
the worry of his life that, in spite of all
he could or can do, his son has grown
up lazy, sloucby farmer, and his
daughter slattern. tell you, my

Bone Versus Rock Phosphate.

The Connecticut experiment station
repeats an established truth 10 its
statement that there is no evidence or
any reason to suppose that the soluble
or reverted phosphoric acid in fine
ground phosphate rock, after treat-
ment with acid, is any less available
than that of dissolved bone black.
Many times as much rock phosphate is
used in fertilizing as of bone or bone
black, because it is so much cheaper
and practically as good.

If Mark Smith and hds managers were not fatwits they would have no difficulty after election in picking out the moves that contributed to his de- feat. The removal fake was easily the most asinine piece of campaign work ever attempted. In the face of the fact that the fraud would be detect- ed inside of twenty -four hours the an- nouncement was made that Smith had been removed from his government position because he had endorsed the cause of free silver. When Attorney General Harmon declared to the Wash ington correspondent of The Republi- can that Smith had not been removed Smiths fool friends had the effrontery to declare that the attorney-general lied. The people saw through the scheme and hundreds of votes were alienated from Smith The latest at tempt to fool voters into supporting Smith was. in connection with the 1 uuld Cdldl kOuAuult uColl Ou uAAS people of Yuma, county to believe that 1 he favored the canal proposition. Al the same time he sought to create the impression in other portions of the territory that he was unalterabiy op- posed to it. 1t is known that he ad- vised the territorial administration against the proposed contract, and alse denounced it in Washington. The
 Yuma Sentinel prints a letter iron
 James A. Fleming of this city exposing Smith thoroughly. If the would-b'
 delegate and his friends had been othel
 than tyros in politics tihey would no have placed these weapons in th' hands of their enemies. Smith ha.
 demonstrated his unfiftness for tn honored position of delegate to con grass.

 Latest conservative reports show that while Doran is very weak in Co- chise souRty outside of Bisbee and Wilcox, he has a strength in most of the counties which it was not supposed any goldbug could develop. The fight is now between Doran and Smith; be- tween gold and silver. We sincerely urge every friend of the white metal whether Populist, silver Republican ol Democrat to vote for the able and tire less champion of silver, Mark Smith and thereby cause the territory to de clare with no uncertain voice that 'the land of sunshine and silver shall not be represented at Washington by | goldbug.

We had free and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1, yet in spite of this, in spite of our law, in spite of the assistance of statutes of the whole world, we were wholly unable to keep one ounce of gold worth sixteen ounces. of silver, and we had only the cheaper money (gold).
 Now, if with all the countries of the earth to help us with the variation in the markets of the world comparative ly slight, we were unable to conlsrol the bullion value of these two metals, how can we hope to do it with the whole world against us and the market ratio 30 to 1, instead of 15 or 16 to q?

A GLORIOUS VICTORY.

The news received from Chicago and ithe east shows that Mckinley will sweep the country tomorrow. The only question now remaining to be set tied relates to ilhe size of his majority over Bryan. The Bryanites have for a month been engaged in colossal game of bluff. Their efforts to can vass the country have not been con- ducted on business-like basis. It is doubtful If at any time they have had an adequate idea of their strength in any state except perhaps Colorado. Chairman Jones has claimed states which never gave any indication of be- ing for Bryan. His heutenants have been equally reckless in their state ments. When the returns are tabulated MT. Jones will have to take to the woods to escape the wrath of the Bryanites who have reposed confidence in his assertions.
 Our advices from the different coun- 1 ties in the territory show that Doran is far in the lead. In Yavapai, in Go conino, in Navajo, in Apache, in Pinal the outlook was never brighter for Re publican success. Maricopa will give Doran at least 150 plurality. O'Neill may carry three counties. Smith will | be lucky if he captures Two. Doran has the others beyond the shadow of a doubt
 The absolute certainty of a sweeping Republican victory throughout the country has had much to do with the grand slump ito Doran in the last two weeks. The voters of this territory are not fools. They know that a Republi- can delegate from Arizona in a Repub- lican congress will wield more in1u- ence than would Democrat or a Popu- list. They do not need to be told thai capital will flow into the territory as g result of a great Republican victory provided it is shown that Arizona has no use for Bryanism. The election o1 either Smith or O'Neill would do the territory incalcu,able harm. It is grat. flying to know that the business meI fhave exerted their influence in Doran's interest. Let voters look the situation carefully in the face this morning ant then cast their ballots for the Republi can candidates. After Arizona has bee1 placed on the up grade once more therl
 will be time to divide on public ques tions. Just now the best interests o the territory require united action.

SOME HISTORIC FACTS.

We had free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver in this country from 1792 certainly down to 1853, and per haps to 1873. During all this period we had exactly the kind of law that MT. Bryan wants re-enacted Nevertheless, the bullion value and coinage value of the two metals would vary. From 1792 to 1884 we had free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, but gold was worth little more as bullion than as coin. We had the law all right, but it didn't work.
 In 1884 we changed the law a little. The legal raltio prior to that time was 15 to 1. People did not understand Gas Mr. Bryan does) that the Lord AL mighty when He put the gold nuggets in the mountains engraved upon them the statute: "This metal is and al ways must be worth just sixteen times | its weight in silver, and no more. D This wonderful statute enacted by the 1 Almighty, which MT. Bryan has re- gently discovered, was not known to the people then, but still they were groping toward it; so in 1884 they enacted the law which made the legal ratio 16 to l. Did that become the commercial ratio? Was everybody then willing to exchange either way one ounce of gold for sixteen ounces of silver? History says not.
 From 1884 to 1873 silver was worth
 more as bullion than as coin, and dur.
 ing all that period our silver coinage
 was next to nothing. We had the law 1 all right. but for some strange reason
 it did not keep the gold dollar up tt
 the value of the silver dollar; it dit
 not keep an ounce of gold bullion
 worth sixteen ounces of silver bullion
 The amount of silver thst had to gt
 into a silver dollar was worth on, hundred and two or three or fou cents. The people who had silver strangely enough. refused to coin i into dollars at the legal ratio and pa, their debts with cheaper dollars, an either hoardeA the dearer dollar or sol, it abroad.
 But it may be said that Jthis coun i'1ry was not as great then as now. I
 was not. Neither were the other coun } tries of the earth as great. We wer !, not as great then as now, but notic 3 this fact-frem 1792 to 1884 every na l tion on the globe was coining silver practically speaking, the hints of tn l world were open; yet in spite of this = our statutes were poWerless to kee \ fifteen ounces of silver worth on g ounce of gold
