THE United States Weather Bureau of Phoenix says: Corre- spondents in all parts of the Ter ritory report high winds at some period during the past week. In some sections it was of almost daily occurrence and had damag- ing effect in localities where the ranges and un-irrigated crops were already suffering for want of mois- ture.
 In the mountainous region of Coconino and Yavapai counties and the northern parts of Mojave, Navajo and Apache counties, dur ing the early part of the week, the days were windy, threatening, with occasional traces of rain and snow and the nights clear and calm with frost. Fruits and vegetables in the valleys were injured and in many places killed. Similar conditions in a modified form prevailed during the same period in Gila and the southern portions of Navajo and Apache counties. At the close aj the week however, the weather in the above districts was warmer, more pleasant and favorable to all interests.
 Partial cloudiness without rain, and temperatures slightly below normal, prevailed in the central and southern counties. Water is yet plentiful in the streams and irrigating canals, and crops of all kinds that are under the various irrigating systems are reported aa doing we'll.
 In Salt river and the lower Gila valleys, wheat and barley are be ing irrigated for the last time, and but few fields now show any bad effect of the March frests, which, at the time. were thought to have seriously damaged the crops. Con- siderable alfalfa and some grain hay has been made, but cutting has not yet become general.
 In the upper Gila valley, wheat and barley are heading and corn planting has begun.

JUDGE PURDY is in receipt of a telegram from Phoenix saying Judge Baker had decided the ''Re- instatement Act" passed by the late 18th Legislature to be legal, and the counties liable for the back pay under the Act.
 This will prove good news for ex-District Attorney Purdy, ex- Treasure, Capt. Ingalls, and ex- Recorder Pool.

SENSIBLE.
The MankatO Journal saws.

I'VE believe the time is now ripe for
the POpulists everywhere to begin to dis
cusS the question of whether to be or not
to be. That is to say, whether they favor
the idea of keeping in the mddle-Of-the
road henceforth, or fuse with one wing
of the Democracy on the single issue of
silver alone. For one are in favor of
maintaining our independence and work.
ing for the trinity of principles that have
been the basis of the great party
ever since the Cincinnati conference in
1891. namely: Land transportation and
finance. These principles are of equal
Importance. one as important as the
other. and there is no other party but
the Peoples party committed to their
advocacy. There are frauds and gigan-
tic combinations concerning land that
the adoption of the free coinage of silver
will not remove. What great benefit to
the people of this country would free
silver be with all means of transportation
in private hands. The Peoples Party
founded for grand and noble pur-
pose, and TO side-track it now for the free
coinage silver alone seems to us as moth
ing short of suicidal folly. To longer
fuse with any party means the death of
the Peoples Party. and the sooner the
Populists of this nation realize this fact
the better it will be. These are our SEN

We should call attention to the able
letter, in another column, from Presi-
dent Long, Of the State Farmers AL
lance. 1t is right to the point. He is
disposed to be charitable, but is forced
to confess that some alleged Populsts
are acting very "suspiciously," when
they advocate the dissolution of the
party, and the transfer of our votes
to the Democratic party.
His remarks about a new party are
also timely and sensible. If there was
any large body of citizens who asked
us to abandon our own name and or
ganization, and unite with them in the
| creation Of new party, that would
consider in a wise and liberal spirit;
but there is nothing of the kind. The
Democratic party proposes to carry the
country under it's own banner, and
manner, every advance made recently
! by the Populists. In Ohio our people
asked the Democratic state convention
to give them one candidate on the state
ticket; and although the state mad
gone Republican last fall by $4,000 votes
and the P0puIists had that number of
votes, they rejected this very reasonable
request with scorn and contumely In
| Gratis merge with them in "new party
| but although the state is overwhelming

| thing of the kind, and if Popuists act
with them this fall they must march

NESOTA THAT THE POPULISTS

AND ORGANIZATION AND "PREJU-

is NOT A STEP TOWARD "a NEW
PARTY" FOR NOTHING OF THAT

| deliberate traitor or an Internal idiot,

There is no use Of insisting that Bene-

George Washingtons feelings?
Napoleon Bonaparte used to say that
"a blunder was worse than a crme;'
and, II a man advocates the destruction

that he was not a traitor but as ass.

harm as a traitor Self-interest will

If the party has got to die it will

taking off is due to treachery or folly.
But 1t will not die. The Nashville
conference has done world of good.

increased zeal, and it has silenced the

A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE
