A PROJECT OF GREAT M
 TORRANCE.

Interest in the Butte reservoir project has been revived in Pinal county, and the people there show determination to push the mat ter before Congress aud the depart ments at Washington. At public meeting held in Florence, it was deci- ded to send Rev. I. T. Whittemore east to explain to the several philan. thropic and religious bodies which exercise so much influence in Indian affairs, the advantages which would accrue to the Indians on the Pima and Maricopa reservation from the building of the Butte reservoir, as we'll as the great saving to the government by making the Indians self-supporting.
 The importance of the project is greatly increased by the proposition to remove all the Indians from the White Mountain, or San Carlos reservation, to the Sscaton agency, and to throw open the White Mountain reservation to settlement To accomplish this might involve some difficulty. as the more un- ruly White Mountain and Tonto Apaches would doutless object to removal. hut with a strong cordon of troops there is no reason why the change could not be effected.
 There is probably no single measure that could be proposed for Arizona that would so promote the territory's vel fare as the opening to settlement of the White Mountain reservation. containing as it does vast mineral treasures, fine grazing and timber lands, and agri- cultural possibilities. The concentra. ton of the Indians and troops in the West, as policy both desirable and inevitable, is steadily gaming wider recognition, and the press of the terri- tory should consistently advocate the opening of reservations which are not absolutely necessary to the Indians and the reduction of others needlessly large.
 The Pima and Maricopa reservation on the Gila river west of Florence, con tains $50, OG0 acres of good arabic land, which if supplied with an abundance of water (which the construction of the Butte reservoir would insure) would amply support all the Indians in Ari- Zona.

THE VALUE OF INDEPENDENCE

"No, kind but deluded friends, the mission of the hireling who holds the plough handles of this paper is to keep the fires burning on the altars of lib- erty and the beacon lights blazing on the shores of time at Sl.50 blaze, in variably in advance. He does not hunger and thirst after official life. He did think once he would like to go to the legislature, but he has grown in grace since then and purged his sys- tenn of that unholy desire. Since then he has not yearned single yearn or hankered hank after political dis tinction."
 The above quotation from a country newspaper, reproduced in Press and Printer, expresses m a droll and homely way an important principle of inde pendent journalism. Originality has become, unfortunately, a rare charac. teristic of the modern newspaper. As with the church, with politics, the trades and in fact in almost every line of human thought and endeavor, 80 Jds IOufuhlisu Suuercu luuieaSuiuuis from the common leveling process--in making people to think and act alike, destroying individualism and trans forming them as it were into Chinamen which is the tendency of our boasted modern civilization. Our newspapers have lost that originality and inde- pendence which formerly made them Inoulders of public opinion and which in great measure determined public issues and questions of government The editorial page of the metropolitan paper has become mere colorless melange of passing events, or truculent praise of party bosses and party measures.
 It is too often the case in these de- generate times that the inordinate de- sire for office converts the newspaper into an agency to promote the political ambition of some individual It may be of the proprietor or editor, or of budding statesman or demagogue who with money or the promise of patronage, succeeds in prostituting the press to bis own selfish and dishonest purposes. An administration will often seek to bny the support of the newspapers of state, or immunity from criticism of official acts, by ap- pointing the proprietors to offices or by giving them a part of tho public printing. There is no more corrnpt- ing influence in public affairs than this, nothing more prejudicial to the peo- pIe's interests. and we have witnessed in Arizona it's pernicious effects.
 But, unfortunately, that spirit of rugged honesty and independence which was formerly an attribute of the American character IS becoming less sesolute and is in danger of extinction. The people are no less ssrvile thau the

The Three Institutes.

We do not know just what Superin-
tendent Tindal cleared over expenses
at the Institute held in Smyrna, but
we do know that the Opera House was
filled at each session, day and night,
and the success beyond the most san
guine expectations. The New Castle
county Institute was held in the town of
New Castle, and according to the Mid
dletOwn Transcript, 100 tickets were
taken at the door for Col. Watterson S
lecture, $50 the second night and 1870
for the third. This left Supt. Smith in
debt, and the same authority says the
experiment will not be made in going
off to New Castle again when Middle
town would have given them not less
than 400 auditors. The Chronicle in
speaking of Milford says:
every evening entertainment was
well patrOnized. Thursday there were
present $50, and on Friday evening
there were possibly fifty less to hear
Col. Watterson. The receipts from the
sale of tickets was 5000, together
with the State appropiates, left a small
balance after paying all expenses.

WASHINGTON as the centre of Govern
ment, is also very naturally the centre
of political influence, the result of the
collaboration of thought by great party
leaders in the formation of political
dogmas. Such a caucus was held last
week in Washington, of Democratic
politicians, and the Philadelphia
Times thus summarizes editOrially the
the result:
The free coinage of silver on the
basis of 16 to /, has been practically
abandoned by the Democratic Organi-
cations throughout the country. 1t
was throttled and suppressed in New
York where the Democrats won both
city and State; it was automatically
evaded in Maryland under the leader
ship of German, and but for the anti
German feud in the ranks, the party
would have been successful. It was
made prominent feature of the Dem
Ocratic policy in Massachusetts, and
Ohio, where the Democrats were whip
ped out of their boots.
The most significant indication we
have had of the purpose of the Demo-
cratic leaders to abandon the free silver
heresv is in the resolutions unani-
mously adopted by the Democratic
caucus vi congressman a few days ago.
OF the 12j Democratic members of the
Houseover 100 were present, and the
party policy adopted commanded the
practically unanimous support of the
members.
This caucus determined upon the
line of policy the party should pursue
in the present Congress, and the Dem
OcTg tic faith is summed up in four res.
Olutions. The first declares against all
efforts, direct or indirect, to retire the
greenbacks and Treasury notes: the
second declares against extending the
privileges or reducing the the taxes OF
our national banks; the third demands
belligerent rights for the Cuban insur
gents and the fourth favors a JUS
bankrupt law.
