GROVER CLEvELAND's ambition is al
interesting topic of consideration every
where. His speech at the Reform Club
dinner Ia New York has been construed
in many ways. His friends have their
construction OF the speech and his an
tsgonists construe il to suit themselves.
One story which seems TO have the most
believers is that Mr.. Cleveland is max
log a direct bid for the Governorehip Of
New jersey with the ultimate purpoe g
Of making an earnest effort for the
Presidential nomination in 1900. For
this reason he purchased his $4,000
house In Princeton and made his legal
residence in that town. His political
future in New York was a doubtful
quantity with the chance against him,
while in New jersey he has strong fol-
lowing. That the ex-Preeident would
like the Presidential nomination on q
platform founded on his tariff views is
true beyond a doubt. 1t was to bring
this tariff policy before the people that
be SO severely arreigned the Republi-
cans and the DinRley bill. That his
speech was for the purpose Of detraos
ing from the money question se an is
sue there can be no reasonable doubt.
That it will fail utterly there certainly
cannot be the smallest doubt.
SPEAKER REED has refused to take up
the bankruptcy bill passed by the
Senate and that measure will therefore
go over until the regular session next
December. This is in line with his
policy, and will serve to check a grow
ing sentiment in the House theb the
Speaker could be forced to proceed with
legislation if bills we're passed by the
Senate. The opposition felt shat the
House would proceed with whatever
bills came from the Senate. but Mr.
Reed equelched shat idea. Some of the
silver men OF the House are very desir-
GUS that their friends in the Senate
should pass free silver bill and SEND
IS over to the House. Representative
Richardson is the leader of this faction
and he declares that all silver men
ought TO go on record On a silver meas

influence of the terif bill. ST good
times do not come" says Mr.. Rcherd-
SOD, eve can esy that we offered the
country remedy. II good timss do

forgets that although the |
silver element is in the mejority in the |
senate there is no way in which they |
IAN foros vote on silver meaeure.
nd 4 by epy combination of circum-
tances such q measure should pass the !

THERE are some gentlemen now in
Phoenix who are interesting them
selves in the matter of establishing a
smelter plant In the valley. With
smslter here there are thousands OF
tons of ore even now lying on the
dumps that cannot be shipped to dis
tan6 points to be worked owing to the
freight rates that would be worked by
ssmelter here with handsome profit to
the miners. More than that there are
mines Of low grade ore available shat
csnnos now be handled for want of
home smeItering facilities; such mines
would be successfully and probably
worked with emelter in the vicinity of
this city. The enterprise is one for
which there is demand now and that
one would develop an enormous amount
of business. Today our miners are ship

Pedro valley. The last we'll Yves de-

140 feet. A large volume of water has
been steadily flowing therefrom night

boring a we'll over In the valley or up
