THE CURRENCY.


THE CURRENCY.
Upon the subject OF the currency. we
declare ourselves unalterably opposed TO
the British system OF monometallism,
which has aggrandized that empire at
the expense OF the nations producing
food supplies and raw material. and It's
adoption has only aggravated our finan-
cial servitude to London. 1t Is not only
un-American. but anti-American, and
can only be fastened on the United State
by the sitting OF that spirit and love
liberty. which proclaimed our polite
Independence i'm 1T6, and caused the Wa.
OF the Revolution.
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age Of both gold and silver at the ratio
OF Is TO /, without waiting for the AID
or consent Of any nation.
We demand the repeal OF the 10 per-
cent tax on the issues Of State banks,
v hich pays not a dollar into the Trea-
sury OF the United States, and which
remains upon the statute books as
monument Of arbitrary and perverse
legislation, inspired by monopoly and
conceived in di5trust Of the people.
SENATORIAL PRIMARIES.

vidual voter TO express directly his choice
for United States senator, and the i'm

Pumped Him Full of Air.

PITTsBURG, Pa., Aug. 14.-Mrs. Geo. Ruthman, of Beaver Falls, heard 8 pe- culiar noise on the porch of her resi- ageu seven and the othera yea old. n : corner. The babe was on his back. The elder brother had inserted the tube of a bicycle pump in the baby's mouth and was filling him full of wind ss fast as he could work the pump handle. The infant was unconscious and it's little stomach " as inflated like bal. loon. The mother pulled the tube from the child's mouth and the air escaped with sound like the air brake on 8 railway train. The baby recovered con sciousness.

water to the lands already cultivated fa'ner than indefinitely increasing the area ot poorly watered farms.
 i. by the construction of storare works commanding the valley lands. there necessarily results an increase in value or every acre even though water rights nave not been purchased, from the fact .hat there is possibility of pprchas- ing these. Upon the completion of sucn works, there takes place what is termed an unearned increment of value of all lands, for with the assurance of larger supply even to other portions of the valley the chances of securing water in one way or another are in- creased. This increment of value is in round numbers equivalent to the cest of the storage works, and if it could be transferred from the pockets of the recipients, who have done nothing to deserve, to the hands of the persons who have built the works. accounts would be balanced and it would be possible to construct these great enter prises. As matter of fact, however, the association or group of men who
 build a reservoir must look to yolun- tary purchases by individuals slowly Y purchasing water rights for lands al- ready owned or must seek reimbarse- ment by putting the water upop desert lands and selling land and water"

IT has been said that there are no friends like the old friends and it some times happens that there are no mines like the old mines, says the Western Mining World. Often an abandoned mine is reopened with astonishing re- suits. Once closed down, no matter what the cause, the impression fixes itself upon the public mind that the mine has been exhausted. Inefficient facilities for handling the mine, dis agreements among the owners or possi- ble freeze-out games, are all finally lost sight of and the mine passes into history as useless hole in the ground. But mines with past are beginning to attract attention all over the country on the theory that new methods of operting, improved machinery and the more economical treatment of ore made possible their reopening at profit.

Mesa City Movements.
From the Free Prsss.l

A party of young men with Dr. Drane started out for Irion's ranch few days ago. All roads do not lead to Rome, and the boys fonnd' that all roads do not lead to Irion's ranch. They kept the Florence road until they arrived at the prosperous little capital of Pinal. Not discouraged, however, they made another effort and finally landed at their destination.
 Miss Annie Whitlow, of Mesa, and MT. J. E. Arthur, of Florence, were married Wednesday afternoon at the home of the brides parents, Judge D. A. Spragg officiating. Mr. ahd Mrs. Arthur left soon after the ceremony for Tempe and took the evening train for Santa Monica where they will soiourn for time before taking up their resi- dence in then, Florence home.

 THE Tucson Star has been misled in to praising the present management of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company. If it had taken the trouble to interview the farmers living along the canal it would have found that ninety-nine out of every hundred condemn the manage ment most bitterly and demand a change in the receivership. If the farmers have been successful this year, it has been on account of an unusual amount of water in the river, and not, as the Star says, because of the "iber- al policy of the broadminded receiver, George W. Sanders" That policy has been narrow-minded and short-sighted in the extreme, and is so pronounced by those most interested. The Stars fulsome praise of the receiver is but an other example of the saying that one must go away from home to learn the news, for it is surely news to us here that Sanders management has been satisfactory or successful.

H. s. Foreman returned from Tue son Friday where he went to answer charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses preferred by J. A. Black of Tucson. Mir. Foreman bad sometime ago purchased watch from Black and had been unable to pay for it until recently when he sent a check covering the amount, but in the mean time charges had been preferred and MT. Black refused the check and would not withdraw the charges unless Fore man paid the costs. Foreman went up and stood trial and had the case thrown out of court. He was re-arrested on the same charge, or rather on another charge amounting to about the same thing, by the same party and the second case was thrown out as it was shown that Foreman had not attempted to beat the account. On the contrary he had sent the money to settle it.- [Nogales vidette..

Judge Fletcher NJ. Doan, who is to preside over this, the Second judicial district: arrived from Florence with Attorney J. s. Sriffen on Sunday even- ing last. The object of Judge Doan's trip is to gain a better knowledge of the district and the people whom he is to serve, and he leaves Globe to-day for Solomanville to spend a few days before returning to his home. Those of our people who had the pleasure of meeiiug Judge Doan are very favora- bly, impressed with him, and we trust his opinion of our town and community is equally satisfactory and that our re- lations will on better acquaintance grow into mutual esteem and confidence. Owing to the recent sad affiiction visited upon Judge Doan's family, his wife was unable to accompany him, which is much regretted. .-[Silver Belt.

From the Tombstone Prospector.l
 One day lest week Walter Hoffman arrived from Rucker and gave hirn sell up to the custody of the sheriff saying he had killed a cowboy named Joe Richards in self defense and was Will ing to stand trial.
 Hoffman who is cowboy in the employ of Fi,lgum and Crunp was seen by Prospector reporter and ascertained some particulars regarding the shooting. It appears that the trouble between the two men dates back to a time when some dispute was had regarding yearling and engender- ed bad feeling. Hoffman claims that Richards had repeatedly made threats on his life and when yesterday they met at the Banke ranch in the Chirca- huas, although no words were had, it culminated in tragedy.
 Richard had saddled his horse and to all appearauces left, but shortly after when Hoffman steped into the kitchen to get match to light his cigarette he was suddenly confronted by Richards i h the hallway, the latter pulling his gun aud exclaining aloud he now had him and was going to kill him. Hoff- man immediately pulled his own six shooter and shot three times with fatal effect before Richards shot at him.
 The above is substantially Hoffman's story and he states there were some ten or twelve cowboys in the house at the time of the shooting all of whom he has subpoened as witnesses.
 Hoffnan's examination before Jus tice Duncan was set for Monday at one o'clock D. m. and meanwhile the pris- oner was in the custody of the sheriff
 The examination of Walter Hoffman Monday afternoon for killing Joe Richards another cowboy, at the Burke place, was heard before Justice Duncan at the hour set.
 G. ". Swain represented Hoffman, while the prosecution, in the absence of Distrset Attorney English, was con dueted by W. c. Staehle au1 S. A. D. Uptou-
 There were twenty-one witnesses and the evidence addueed went to sihow clearly that it was a case of justif.abls homicide.
 Several witnesses testified to seeing deceased pull his gun and in words no to be found in the Bible inform Hofi man that his end had come, but in tn twinkle of an eye and before he coul carry his threat into effect, he himsel was corpse.
 The verdict of the cornor's jury wa also produced, which exonerated Hof man on the ground of justifiable hom

 by Lord Liverpool.
 An amusing anecdote is told of Lord Liverpool, prominent peer during the Pitt ministry, who made, at least in one case, the mistake of acting before he had sufficiently thought over the mat ter in question MT. Pitt had some in- tention of creating new order of merit, and asked the opinion of the cabinet ministers as to the color of ribbon which should be used. Lord Liverpool called upon him, one evening, and announced that he had made his selection, and was ready to show it.
 "You see, :" he said, with well-satis- fed air, Fl have endeavored to combine such colors as will fatter the national vanity. Here is red for the English flag, blue for liberty, and white to de note the purity of motive"
 ssIt is excellent" cried one of the per- sons present.
 "The king will be greatly pleased with it" said another.
 "You had better take it down to Windsor added a third. "Yes," said Lady Hester Stanhope, ''the king will be delighted with it. l myself think the colors charming; for l know exactly how they will look, as l have seen them very often."
