THE Republicans of Arizona are making vain attempt to elect their ticket with hurrah for patriotism and the old flag. But how can they get around the fact that, although 1t is nearly two years since Mckinley was elected President, not solitary old soldier is holding Q Federal posi- tion in the Territory of Arizona. The tin-horns, camp bummers and star reuters have all been recognized, but the Union soldier has been strangely ignored. We wonder If they can whoop Brodie into office with such 3 record.

OUR Bailey street contemporary has Q thrilling account of race between the "dems." and the "reps., in which the legislative nominees on both sides are represented as men who expect to make enough in sixty days to last them two years. As Kehoe gets paid for representing the Republican side he ought to know what he is talking about; but the Democrats disclaim any such intention.

PROSPERITY PROMISES.

From the Phenix Enterprise.l
 Two years ago, in keeping with the misrepresentation and coercion then extant, the Republicans of this terri tory promised with the election of Mckinley there would be a flood of capital rush to Arizona to invest. The Rio Verde canal was to be constructed at once, the cost to be $2,600, 900. The Hudson reservoir at Tonto Basin was to build at . cost of $6. .O0O, 900. There was to be completion of the Wolfiey canal and the South Gila reservoir, while Wade Rulings was going to finish the canal contemplated by the Pennsylvania Irrigation company.
 At the time one of the local papers said all that the Pennsylvania Irriga- tion company had invested was $2.5O for sign. Now even that sign isnot visible. Not one of these projects have been furnished. The Arizona Canal company, the big institution then existing, has gone into the hands of receiver. The people have felt the bangs of pinching poverty keenly, and but for bountiful crops and good prices, occasioned purely by local con ditions, there would have been distress out here in Arizona, the land of bound. less resources.
 In the meantime, during these two years wages have been reduced, the territorial bonded debt, under the benefcent influence of Republican administration, has been increased by $500, 900. The rate of taxation has been increased and Q band of the most interruptions men in all the west have exclusive control of the territorial government. This has aroused the people to an extent never before known in this territory. Party lines are yielding, and there is to be deter mined effort made at the polls to wrest from the wreckers the scepter of power over the finances of Arizona.
 Colonel J. F. Wilson, his name 8 synonym for honesty, honor and equality, has been nominated by the silver men as their delegate to congress.
 In every county in the territory the people have nominated men for sthe legislature pledged to abolish the laws creating the board of control and other appendages of corruption. The people will prevail, and, regardless of politics, the pretenders will be banished from power.

WHILE the Pinai county Republicans favor the single gold standard In their platform, the Mohave county Republi- can convention adopted the following :
 we believe In the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and hereby declare our fidelity to It's use as standard money, and we are in favor of its coinage at all hints of the United States on an equality with gold. at the ratio of le to 1. without reference to the action of any other nation"
 Itts a hard matter to tell where these Republicans stand, and the re- suit is the party is split up. On the other hand, the Democrats are har- monious and enthusiastic, and there isn't doubt as to how they stand on every question of vital importance to the people.

IN his book on "The Laborer and His pay" Saville Johnson says:
 "I do not believe in cheapness, either in what I have to sell, my labor, or in what I wish to buy.
 "If I buy shirt for fifty cents, some poor slave has toiled in rags and poverty to sew it's seams, and with every stitch is woven in human tear or human sigh; human blood has worked the button holes; and the thought is never out of my mind, when l put it on or take 1t of, that am wearing out, not shirt, but some poor, weak, oppressed human life.
 "Cheapness walks hand in hand with poverty and degradation.
 "Cheapness ruins its men, prostitutes it's women, and starves It's children bodily and mentally.
 "cheapness means days and night. of never ending, grinding toll fo, labor; and for the rich and, indolent self indulgence, revelry and merry making. It means the elevation o- hoarded and interest bearing capital and the ruin of labor and its partner ir toll, active capital"

The Coal Fields.
From the Tucson Star.l

The Tucson Land Office has received the plat of the coal fields which has been offered for filing, but which will not be officially filed until the expira- tion of at least 30 days from the time of receiving the same. In harmony with this instruction the Register and Receiver have fixed the 18th day of November, 1898, at o'clock a. m., of that day, when the official filing will be made. Until that date nothing can be done. as we understand the instruc- tions, by which title can be obtained. Those who are now in possession of claims can proceed with exploration and it may be locations now made might hold. But the local Land Office will hard ly accept any filings OF take any cogniz- ance of any claims which may be made until after November 18th, the date of the official filing on the plat.

THIS year the election of Demo cratic legislature is of more vital inn portance than ever. An executive now holds sway in Arizona who controls almost every disbursement of tax funds collected for territorial purposes, and also the amount of the same though bis board of control, board of equaliza- tion, county immigration commis- sioners and auditor. The Democratic party is pledged to modify our statutes in such 2 msDner as to permit the peo- pie to have some voice in the manage ment of the territorial sffairs.-lPhoe- nix Gazette.

Two years ago the Vermont democ- raey failed to give unqualified indorse- ment to the Chicago platform. The re- suit was that Vermont's democracy was buried from sight. This year the Vermont democracy stood squarely upon the Chicago platform and the result was the smallest Republican victory in many years.

IF the voters of Pinsi county believe that Dr. A. c. Wright will more honestly and earnestly represent them in the Legislative Council than his opponent they should by all mesns elect him. The latter was chairman of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions in the Democratic Terri torial Convention, and is largely re sponsible for the platform of principles upon which the contest is being made. That platform stands for free silver, economy and reform, and should appeal to the masses for their support.

According to the various and sundry
stories that have come down from up
h gulch nearly every species of fish
have been caught in Warm Springs
creek. This seasons crop of lies brought
down is small. but ii is larger than all
h strings combined. Yesterday Will
lam Winters spent 10 hours on the banks
of h big dam. He had his pipe and
luncheon, as well as his tackle and bait.
He returned to the city at shutdown and
proceeded 10 tell his friends all about 1t.
They wouldn't believe his story at first,
but he convinced them that he had just
h kin of a fish that they bet he did
not have. He said he had a Goldfish.
but they wouldn't believe him. He told
them that he had caught many a cod
and knew one when he saw it. and he
therefore was not mistaken. Cigars
were up and he must decide the bet. He
drew from a grass-lined ~gunnysack the
fish that was to settle the dispute. and
he won. 1t was the prettiest. saltiest.
most fragrant cod that was ever shipped
to Anaconda by slow freight.
MIR. Winters was not called upon to
explain. because he had not told any
body that he caught the fish in the pond.
He merely proved to the inquiring CO.
terie that he a a Goldfish and that he
had been fishing in the big dam.
