ORITTENDEN, AFiZ. June b, 1897.
EDITOR btless some OF
your many readers would like to hear
from this beautiful valley. All are hsv-
ing good time in this section; peace,
prosperity and happiness prevails
throughout the entire community.
We have fine day school established
here. Miss Stephens as principal
teacher. Also q fourishing Sunday
school together with a Christian En-
desvor Society all we'll attended, and
much interest manifested; hence the
happiness thatpR evails.
We have had two large and we'll at
tended picnics during the month OF
May-both we'll represented from No
gales, r lllina and Hsrshsw, but really
disappointed in not having orstors from
Phoenix and Tucson to uufurl the Ban
ner of State; but We had Young Amer
os, which is still better that made the
woods ring" with their orations which
shows concusevely what is in store for
US il we will be patient and await re-
suits. The young orators of the day
showed conclusively in all their ora
tions that we were too impatient end
often CRU % blsd whereas il we would be
patient all would be we'll. To think
more of country than of party. Let
rumore Fl 1st by your ears las the idle
wind. Do not hsrbor the nature that
all in the opposite party are rogues, and
all In your party are unselfsb, patriotic
-
countrymsn, and seek instruction not
in the hurricane of angry political con.
testants, but to the sage counsels loI
those that have stood firm by theis
party let them be Democrats or let
them be Republicans. The spirit OF
party unfortunately is inseparsble
from our nature, having it's root In the
strongest passions OF the human mind.
1t exists under different shapes more CT
less, stlfi sd, controlled or repressed. The
alternate dsnominstio OF our factions
over another, sharpened by the spirit of
revenge, Datursl to party dissensions
which, in different ages and countries, has
perpatuated the most horFid enormities,
is itself frighttul despotism. The
disorders and miseries which result
grad uslly moline the minds of men to
seek security and repose in the sbso-
lutte power of an individual, and soones
or later the ohief, of some prevailing
faction, more able or more fortunate
than his com pstitors, turns this disposi-
tion to the purpose of his own election
or the ruins of public liberties.
What We want in this country is prsc-
ticsl msn; msn who will stand up for
right of the whole people, "fodder or no
fodder" and demand silve, upon its
proper bssie, and stop discussing tariff
until the dear people have something to
pay tariff with; men who will bring
silver to the ratio OF standard IL was
prior TO 1873, and all will be we'll.
Philosophers had for ages been trifiiug
with electricity, had long amused them
selves, and a limited circle OF learned,
with the besutii ul living toy; Franklin
6irted with 10 and, boy fashion, played
kite with the glsnoing fud; but by and
by Morse came along and lsssoed she
lightning, curbed it's strength and oon-
trolled it's swiftness for the benefit OF
and later Cyrus W. Field tied
she hemIspheres together with it. Full
ton was poor talker, il We may trust
historians and biographere. yet there is
cot machine shop, steam boat, train Of
csrs, or any of the tens of thousands OF
Kept in MOTION CT pro-
PEELED oy steam, that does not speak
volunns 10 praise of the patient worker
who Conquered she scsldIng vspor snd
applied ID to practical laooc-ssving uses.
BE patient, gentle reader, and rest
assured that some one will rise, as it
were, from the dead, and life Us out OF
this row OF stumps regarding our
finances and plaza our feet upon a firm
basis and silver will be brought to its
proper standard, aud this Territory will
put on Statehood and bloom and bios
som as the rose, and that In the very
uear future, as your very humble corr
sees it.
