money she did have was gotten honestly.
A check given by q firm in the city had
to be certified before he would have aught
to do with it; if it came from another
town, it was considered worthless until he
had communicated with tho issuing bank,
and he gave orders to the paying teller to
cash no order she might present without
consulting him.
The wpman's soul grew faint and sick
from persecution ard her dreams were
haunted by pair Of deep sos eyes, bris-
Ting red mustache and piles Of spurious
checks. One day a streak of good luck
blow up hard against the new firm and
the wOman's step was light and her heart
was exultant with victory when she
marched up to the receiving teller's win
dow. She had check for 5000. He looked
at it once carelossly and said in that piero-
ing tone which was the insignia Of his dis
pleasure, g You must get that certified"
The woman was strong in the knowledge
that she was bolstered up by q 5000 check,
and sho decided to take firm stand.
THAT is good, she said resolutely. at
is now 1l:80. 1t will take an hour to get
it certified. We have to make 500 good
here within few minutes. Please credit
us with that amount.
The receiving tellers face flushed at her
defiance, and he watched her as she start
cd away. She stopped at the paying tell
er's window. He tapped on the wire net
ting separating the two compartments and
called out loudly! cash nothing. This
check cannot be drawn against"
The woman's eyes blazed and she stalk
ed back to his desk.
Sir" she said, do you see whose
name is signed to that cheek9"
He Strengthened up haughtily.
Il don't know the name, " he said sharp
ly. "It is some one we have never heard
of. "
PLEASE look at 1t again, she returned.
Reluctantly he took it from the spindle
and studied the signature.
win it be all rlght?' she asked softly.
He nodded. The name was that of the
president Of the bank.-Chicago News.

He had small brown eyes and bristling
red mustachc. His cheekbones were prom
inent, and his temples formed little hol-
lows in the sides Of his head. Moreover,
no was receiving teller in a Dearborn
street bank. In his position, where he
handled sums of money ranging in value
from tens Of thousands of dollars to as
many cents, no had ample opportunity to
bestow his personal favors upon whatever
patrons of tho bank were ist deserving
and to literally wipe less fortunate depos-
itors out of existence with one scornful
look of his deep set eyes. 1t was only one
tone harmonious with the rest of his ma
ture that prompted him to seize such a
chance by tho forelook and work it TO his
complete satisfaction.
OF all the lesser lights in tho CONNER
oial world that transacted business through
the medium of the receiving teller's bank,
there was one firm which he had singled
out as a special mark for his aversion. 1t
was a recently organized concern that had
started out with very modest capital, and
the first time the woman who had been
employed as maid Of al work around the
Office went over to tho banking house to
make q deposit she carried three checks
amounting to S47.25. Tho receiving teller
noted tho smallness Of the sum, and his
brown eyes sunk little farther back in
his head, his eyelids perceptibly frightened,
and his red mustacho bristled little more
than usual. When he returned the bank
book be threw st down before her with a
little whack that gave her to understand,
without any pretense Of quibbiing, that he
had given her IA challenge Of war to the

An opsn Lettsr to wm. Q. oINsIn.

SIR:-In the light of strict legal con struction I wish to ask, Whose candi- date are you?
 Hon. Marcus A. Smith, whom you so viciously and cowardlike assail in an open letter under date of October 2d, was nominated according to time honored procedure, enanating from 6 legal call from legally constituted body. But how were you nominated? say it was by 6 farce! By the calmi- nation of an order from mythical meeting that can find no trace of ever having taken place. So, likewise, was the order appointing the time and place fo. the nominating convention of the Populist party of Maricopa county. repeat the assertion and challenge con tradiction, that no Central committee of the Populist party in Maricopa or any other county in Arizona, set or con vened, subsequent to legal call for a County Populist convention, nor for the nomination of a Delegate to Congress, during the present year.
 You blame Mark Smith for entering th's fight. Have you ever done any, thing toward securing fusion of the silver interests in this Territory? No, you have not. You have always been middie-of the-roader; have always opposed fusion, preferring to take your hances for your election, as you are now doing, to the consolidating of the silver forces in a common cause. As a Popul;st, know whereof speak. In Novemlier, 1895, you and your trainer, John q. YIfte, at a meeting held in the Populist office at Phoenix, sat down on the fuslon idea, refused to even have it discussed in that paper. Again, on Feb rdary p, 1896, J. c. White and his CO tes ie downed the fusion proposition at a meeting in the city hall, Phoenix, at which meetsng White appointed himself delegate to the National convention, by a new rule of his own; ignoring pri- mary electi ons, seemingly fearing tc trust his party.
 Irepeat the charge, that by strict legal judgment by any unbiased mind you are not legal nominee of the Pop ulist party for Delegate 50 Congress And now you have the brazen effron tery to flood the territory with de famatory open letters against the only legitimate silver nominee. But on tho 9d of November, Mr. o'Neill. you vii be taught the wholesome lesson that i pays to be fair, honest and honorable 1T politics, for then will self-repeeting Populists declare themselves and Aiarcus A. Smith will be elected Dele gate to Congress.
 Respectfully.

Lacks Common Sense.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l

The Arizona Republican, heretofore one of the strongest free silver advo- cates among the newspapers of the territory, changed hands on the 4th inst, c. c. Randolph, of Washington, D. C., being the purchaser. The full Republican national, territorial and county ticket heads the first editorial column. While the change of policy on the money question by so prominent a newspaper is to be regretted, it has no significance further than that the goldbugs have the most money, and it takes money and lots of it to run 8 gold-bug paper in Arizona. The people of Arizona are for free silver, and those who support an enterprise in their midst hostile to their best interests, are, to say the least, lacking in com mon sense.
The Florence tribune., 1896-10-24

IF the entire Democratic ticket is elected in Pinal county, as it is certain to be, its success will be largely owing to the efforts of the Tax-Payer, and the obligation is acknowledged according ly. The young men who are conduet- ing that vindictive little Tucson sheet have queer ideas of journalism if they think they can defeat a man by abus- ing him. Such course always does g candidate more good than harm, as de- cent people do not desire by their votes to endorse such conduct.

BRYAN HAS HACKERS.
Marcus Daly Sends sf5o, ,0o0 to Bet on
 His Election.

BUTTE, Mont. Oct. 17.-liarcus Daly, manager of the Anaeonda copper mines and one of the best known horsemen in America, to-day sent $15O,0OO to New York to bet on Bryan. He bases his judgment upon information received from a close study of the situation snd places his money accordingly. There is DO money here to back the Mckinley cause and Daly sends his money where it will probably get action. If he is successful in getting this amount GOV cred he proposes to bet more, and sever al other Montana men are ready to take wagers in any reasonable amount.
The Florence tribune., 1896-10-24

IF. as is charged, Mark Hanna's poodle is backing the Pinal County Tax-Payer, the managers of Doran's campaign are showing remarkable judgment in keeping his name out of it. To an appropriated outsider it looks very much like the editor had it in for the Republican County ticket and is doing his best to defeat it. But it's defeat was foregone conclusion, even without such assistance.
The Florence tribune., 1896-10-24

THERE are two things in particular which the Pinal legislators might be able to work up for the benefit of the county. The United States Court, which was unfairly removed from Flor ence, should be returned, either by re- districting or otherwise; and the peni- tentiary, which IS in notoriously inn proper place, could probably be se- cured for some point on the Southern Pacific railroad in the neighborhood of Casa Grande. There, with a prison farm under the reservoir, the institu- ton could be made more nearly self supporting than at any other point in the Territory, and being in the center of population thousands of dollars wolld be saved every year in mileage. The present location of the penitentiary is believed by.many to bein California, though the fact has not yet been ju- dicially determined. It is well known, however, that the supplies for the insti- tuition come mainly from California, and that 90 per cent of the vast sums spent for it's maintenance go out of the Ter ritory and never return. This would not be the case were the penitentiary located in the Casa Grande valley. The same might be said of the Salt River valley, but as Maricopa county already has more than it's share of pub lie institutions, it would undoubtedly concede the ponitentiary to P,nal.
The Florence tribune., 1896-10-24

". c. TRUMAN will just as certainly be reelected Sheriff as that the sun sets on election day The people of Pinal county are well satisfied with his administration of the sherif's office. He has attended to it's duties faithfully, ard there cannot be word of fault found with him officially or personally. He is brave and generous, outspoken and manly, the beau ideal of an officer, and has host of admirers in all parties who will see to it that he is reelected by a rousing majority. It is much bet ter to take tried and true man than 10 risl1cue who is both untried and un- true.
The Florence tribune., 1896-10-24

LooK out for roorbaeks. It is said next Saturdays Tax-Payer will be a corker in the way of mud-slinging and campaign lies. The anonomous indi- viduals who are conducting that dis reputable sheet are equal to anything of the kind, and that fact is pretty well known. It is hardly necessary therefore, to place the people on their guard against lying charges made at a tine when they cannot be contradicted
The Florence tribune., 1896-10-24

TIE TRIBUNE finds itself mistaken in the authorship of the letter published in the Phoenix Republican, dated Florence, October ', and signed "A Republican," It was not written by a candidate on the Republican ticket, as was thought, but by a gentleman who hardly recognized it as his own effusion after the blue pencil of the editor got through with it. The TRIBUNE is always ready to acknowledge it's errors.
