CLEVELAND GETTING TIRED.
Has Decided to Make No More Nominations
for the Senate to Hold Tn,

mas Declueu 10 MAKE NO MOr0 NOMINATIONS
for the Senate to Hold Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-It was expect
ed that the appointment of the regigter
and receiver of the Mangum land office
in Greer county, Ok, would be forth
coming this week; but from intima-
tions coming from the white house
it appears doubtful if the Office will
be filled under the Cleveland
administration. The policy pursued by
the senate in holding up Clevelsnd's
appointees has had tendency to make
the president tired of sending new
nominations to the senate. For ex-
ample, no post Office nominations were
made yesterday, although the white
house desk Is Uttered with papers GER
titled from the post Office department
bearing on offices about to become va
cant or involving removals.

|. La Dor Day Proclamation.

Territory of Arizona Executivr Department. The laws of the United States designate the first Monday in 'Sepssmbsr of each year as legal holi- day to be known as Labor Day.
 Whm we reflect that labor is the foundation and creator of all wealth; that upon it depends all happinesssnd all sxcellsncs; that it is labor that builds up great states and carries on the commerce. of the world, the wis dom of this enactment is apparent, and especially is 1t 50 when applied to the people of our territory who are labor. ing to dsvslope its various resources and establish fnr themselves happy homes Our busy and industrious com- munitiss contain hut few drones, hence nearly all can be riyhtfulIy classed as lalorsrs-the mechanic, the merchant, the miner, the lawyer, the farmer. the divine. the tanker, the physician. the teacher and the clerk, as we'll as he who performs the more severe tasks of manual labor, are lsoorers in the best sense of the word, for while muny rarn their daily bread by the sweat of fheir faces and others by the work of their brain, they are a.. toi!rrs. A general observance of the day SO wisely set apart hy congress will tend to promote . higher appreciation of the dignity of labor and the great part it is taking in the building up of our territory, and the great republic in which we soon wish t0 become state. To l'ring labor of all kinds into closer relations with itself and with other in. terests, to inculcste friendly feeling and hearty cooperation between labor and capital, thus encouraging good I will brtween all classes of the com. munity with a view to pleasant and reciprocal relations IS the great object of this great observance of Labor day.
 Now, therefore, I, Myron H. Nc. Cord. governor of Arizona, do procla " and declare Monday, the sixth day of September. one thousand eight hun. dred and ninety.sevrn, legal holiday and do most earnestly recommend that all business of whatever nature, except such as the necessities of the community require to i'e carried on, to bs suspended on that day, that al wLo desire may observe the day in a msnner beitting the importance of the occasion.
 Let us not forget that Labor day is as important and to future generations will become as suggestive and inspir- ing as the religious and patriotic holi days that our people so loyalty and religiously observe.
 Doua at Phoenix the capital. this 18th day of August, A. D 1897. MYRoN H. Mc'CoRD. Governor of Arisona CHARLIE Fl. AxRRs.
