Last evening a party of friends were
sitting around q stove in a bachelors
quarters telling stories. One of the
party told of joke he once played on a
negro revival that was then at white
heat in rural district in Tennessee.
He was returning from hunting trip
one evening and was attracted to a
country church where a revival was in
progress. After watching the services
for awhile he climbed mp on the roof to
get better view through the hole
where stove pipe was meant to 60.
In the excitement of the evening one of
the congregation shouted out, Cab
riel, blow your horn! I'm ready to
60" The temptation was too great for
the joker, and, putting his horn to his
lips, he blew blast through the fue
hole. and stampeded the congregation
to man. The grand jury discussed
the propriety OF indicting the sacri-
leglous hunter, but no proceedings
were taken against him.

THE MUCH ABUSED PETITION.

The right of petition has been exer- cised from the earliest times in the history of the Ahglo-Saxon race. Pe- titions were formerly confined to sup. plicating the throne for the redress of grievances, but as we have no kings in this country we supplicate our political bosses and officials whom the people have ''drest in little brief authority" !" Petitions are very common in the United States, far too common in fact. The custom is exercised for oil manner of purposes, and is deemed especially useful to boost the political aspirant.
 The petition affords an interesting subject for study. or to speak more correctly, the people who sign them do. There are five classes of signers of petitions. CD The man who puts his name to the first petition presented without regard to the merit of the ap- plicantj (2) he who having signed one petition afterwards subscribes to another, writing after his signature. "I prefer this spphcant;" (3) the man who signs all petitions without reserva- tion; (4) he whose name carries no weight, yet insists upon signing as Q prominent citizen; (5) the man who carefully considers the merits of the respective candidates and endorses the one whom he considers the best man. In addition to all these is the cautious individual who, in order to be on the safe side, refuses to sign any petition.
 So there you are! And when. the powers that be take up petitions to pass upon them, they glance over them in a perfunctory way and then record their own preference or prejudice, as the case may be, and mentally ejacu- late, "the public be damned"

GOVERNOR M'CORD.

The confirmation of Myron H. Mo Cord as governor of Arizona after the most memorable fight in Arizona politics, was accomplished last Satur- day in executive session of the senate by vote of 57 to 8. The paucity of the opposition vote is surprising in view of the long and bitter fight made against the nominees confirmation.
 Perhaps the first effect of the con. firmation upon Arizouans generally was a sense of relief that the contest had reached an end. It was evident from the first that President Mckinley would insist upon McCord for gover- nor and his rejection at this time would only have prolonged proftless con test to the further injury of Arizona's s good name, notoriety such as we have had a surfeit of, and if the coterie of Re publicaus who were foremost in their opposition to McCord are wise they will accept defeat as gracefully as the trying circumstances will admit and work for party harmony, if such c thing is possible in Arizona politics.
 As for the Democratic cabsl which mixed in fight in which they had nc right or interest except to prolona their own official life, there is nothing but contempt, and the sooner they are reIegated to private life and political obscurity the better pleased the people of Arizona, regardless of politics, will be.
 We were not supporters of McCord's candidacy for the reason that we fore. saw the trouble his nomination would precipitate, but we made our talk be. fore nomination, and as McCord made manly defense and we like good fighter, we entertain no hostility te the new governor, and as long as VIC can approve his official acts he car count upon our support consistent witt the policy of an independent news paper that voices the sentiments of iti owners and asks no political fayors.

The words of Edmund Burke aptly apply to the affidavit squad who made Washington City ring with their plaints, while on the trail of Myron H. McCord on the homestretch of the gubernatorial race track. Burke said Because half dozen grasshoppers under fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thou sands of great cattle Iepose beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field-that of course they are many in number-or that, after all, they are other than the little, shrivelled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome insects of the hour"

During the first half of 1897 this country exported 64,9O2 tons of fine copper, or 65S4 tons more than in the corresponding period for 1896; 30,6s7 tons more than in 1895; 25, 133 tons more than in 1894, and 44,5a1 tons more than in 1893. For the half years of 1893-97 inclusive the amounts pro- duced and not exported were as fol- lows in tons: 4s,5S7, 42,222, 45,497, 43,O62, 42,096. While the United States production has increased 55 per cent, the export, increased 218 per cent. Since Jan. l, 1893, four and Q half years, the tctal United States ex- ports of coppey amounted to about o24. 564, ,OOU pounds, worth, at II cents a pound, $l01 700,990.

The copper market is improving rather in the foreign than domestic de- 1nand,, the foreign consumption being in excess of the enormous consumption of last year. The British and con tinentsl requirements absorb all the copper this country csn spare. The aggregate transactions in this direction during June are estimated at from 16, 900, ,O0O to 20,O0O,00O pounds on basis of II and It cents. The stocks in this country and visible supplies strousheut the world are at such Q low level that any sudden increase in con sumption would quickly influence the price.

The reports of the fabulous gold discoveries in the Clondyke district, Northwest Territory, have created in tense interest, and already there is a hegira of adventurous men from every part of the coast toward the frozen north. Few of them, however, will reach their destination before the winter sets in two months hence, and then the tales of suffering and priva- ton will far outweigh the allurements of gold. There appears to be no doubt of the truth of the reports recently brought from that far-off region, and the discoveries will tend to the opening up of better routes of travel and the gradual development of the mineral resources of Alaska and the adjacent British possessions, and which event aally will result in enormously increas- ing the worlds supply of gold. It is not likely, however, that the dis coveries will, as predicted by some financial sages, appreciably affect the price of silver.

The recent deplornble explosion of giant powder at Georgetown, Cal, will serve a good purpose, if taken ns an object lesson. says the Mining and Scientific Press, illustrating the crim- inal folly of carelessly storing giant powder, as is 80 often done. In such a dangerous matter 1t is better to be foolishly careful than carelessly foolish.
 There is a state law regarding the sales, etc, of explosives, and it is an unwritten law of common safety that the utmost care be taken in the storage and handling of so deadly compound.

A Seattle, Wash. dispatch states that the amount of treasure brought down from the famed Clondyke by the steam ship Portland is now placed at Sl ,5OO- 900 and there is good reason to be- lieve that the sum was nearer $2, 900 ,0OO. In this connection something of the nature of confidence game appears to have been worked on the North American Trading and Transportation Company, or its officials in charge of the Portland, by the miners. Each man was required to place his gold dust in the ships safe, but this was not done by any means. Many of the miners secreted their dust in blankets and luggage which was taken either 10 their staterooms or thrown care assly about the ship.

THE TRANSMISSISSIPPI CON-
 GRESS.

The Trans Mississippi Congress, in session at Salt Lake, Utah, last week, finished its deliberations and ad- journed. The result of the conference was not altogether what some of the leaders of the organization anticipated. They stated with some degree of assur- ance that notwithstanding tho pres ence of Bryan and the prevalence of an overwhelming silver sentiment, the silver question and all other political issues would be rigidly excluded from the discussion and resolutions. Our friend Henry R. Whi.more, of St. Lonis, chairman of the executive com mittee, whom VIC knew intimately 20 years ago, was early on the scene and had hand in arranging the prelim- inaries, and no doubt thought that with the assistance of his gold bug cohorts he could stem the tide of free coinage, but in this they was woefully disappointed. Irrigation, the Nicar- agua canal, Hawaii annexation, Cuban belligerancy and other questions which vex the American body polite were relsgated, so to speak, in the. face of the more important and aIl-absorbing question of silver coinage.
 Matters went along very smoothly until William Jennings Bryan appeared on the scene when the convention went wild with enthusiasm, and tho big assembly hall of the Church of the Latter Day Saints rang with the plaudits from 10000 throsts. MT. Bryan in his opening speech said;
 'T am in hearty accord Wicn 1ne purposes of this congress. we nave here vast empire whose interests are W in many respects dsssimilar 70 tnose of the rest of the country, ana mucn benefit can be made to accrue rom the deliberations of this body. we

In these mountains we shall rear n peo- pie that will stand for the true prin. ciples Of liberty and human progress. Where the members of this body differ in opinions, all shonld yield to the rule that the majority governs"
 Among the resolutions offered by the committee, of which Tom Patter- son, of Colorado, was chairman, was the following:
 Resolved, That we heartily com mend the action of President McKin- ley in appointing commission to try to secure an international agreement, and most earnestly hope that success may crown their efforts. We further affirm that such efforts are proof of the failure of the gold standard to ad- vance the interests and prosperity of the American people, and of she fact that the restoration of bimetallism is almost universally demanded by them.
 Resolved, That while we favor the free coinage of gold and silver through international agreement at the ratio or 15l or 16 to 1, if 1t can be secured, yet efforts in behalf of such an agreement afford no reason for the American people to cease their endeavors in be- half of independent bimetallism on the part of the United States, and this congress places itself upon record as demanding the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to l, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, such gold and silver coin to be alike, a full legal tender for all debts public and private" {"
 Upwards of twenty speeches were made upon the silver resolutions. and when Bryan added his voice in favor of the majority report and made m elo- quent appeal for the restoration of free coinage of silver, the convention went wild with enthusiasm.
 A motion in favor of the single gold standard received only five votes, and one in support of the minority report was overwelmingly defeated. The majority report favoring independen, free coinage of silver was then adopted by vote of more than five to one. The route of the gold men WAS com. plete and Mir. Craig who ou the day previous had been elected president ol the congress, was so chagrinned that he rendered his resignation, but which the congress refused to accept.
