attempts of selfshness and greed to oD- tain control of states and civilizations. :, In every age the contest has assumed substantially the same complexion. From the time when nations were established and the arts of peace began to thrive there have existed men who have pa tiently and unrelentlesSly pursued pur- pose of thriving by the labor of others. To this end they have secured the con trol of governments and have made the laws.
 One of the most subtle and effective means employed by them has been the manipulation of the money systems that have prevailed among various nations lnasmuch as the prices of commodities, when conditions effecting them remain unchanged, will rise with and increase In the kind of money substance in which they are stated and will fall with de- crease in that substance; and inasmuch as the debtor who incurS debt when prices are high and must pay 1t when prices are low will inevitably contribute a portion of his substance to the creditor which the latter in justice has no right to receive, it follows that the creditor 1n- terests of society, if they are able to con trol the money unit which measures the value of services and commodities, can subject the producers to a virtual slavery, under which all property will gradually pass into the possession of the consplra- tors.
 International monetary conferences, committees to inquire into the causes of the increasing disparity between the met
 
 vestigate the depression of agriculture, have followed each other from year to year ever since 1876. when the discovery seems really first to have been made that in the demonetiZation of silver fatal blow had been struck at the progress of mankind.
 In the United States until 1896 but one policy was avowed upon this subject and that was a determination to get rid of the gold standard.
 The Republican platform declared for bimetallism in 1888 and again in 1892 but notwithstanding these declarations. the Administration policy of that party was by uSurpation of power and by abject submission to the dictates of the gold brokers to faSten upon the country more and more securely the policy of monetary contraction. About the year 1896 the pow CTS in control of the Republican party thought themselves strong enough to show their hand.
 In the platform at St Louis they de- clared against the free coinage of silver, except by international agreement, which they pledged themselves to promote, but proclaimed that until such an agreement could be had the existing gold standard must be maintained. The reference to the international agreement was a mere pretense. While many thousands of ported the declaration and many millions believed in 1t and trusted it, the powers that put it into the platform used it to attract the support of the former and never intended that 1t should be carried out.
 The Wolcott commission was a fore doomed and expected failure. Nothing can make this fact plainer than the ac- tion of President Mckinley in sending to

From all accounts anothor big min ing excitement is destined to result from the discovery of a rich find in this county. If one half of the reports circulated are true, a fanulously rich discovery has been made, and undoubt- edly bonanza equal to the famous Commonwealth mine, at Pearce. which has astonished the mining world with It's richness, has been found.
 The discovery, Mr. Joe Gardner. a well known Tom mbstLner, made the lucky strike, which is located in the Gray mountains, about twenty miles from Wilcox. The rock is almost an exact counterpart of the rich Common wealth ores, and assays given from 1000 to 1500 ounces silver besides 10 to 15 ounces in gold per ton.

MYRUM H. McCORD GOVERNOR of ARIZONA
The Territorial Regiment Will Soon hA Sent Heme Bryan Will
 Be Mustered Out.

Washington D. c., Dec. 1.-The wal department in view of the assurances that peace treaty vii! be signed, is ..c ranging to muster out more troops.
 It Is probable that from 90. 900 to 4O.- 900 volunteers will be mus tered out as soon as selections of regiments can be made. There has been quite deman d for the return Of volunteers from Ma Dila, but no troops will be brought from the Philippines unless they are replaced by others.
 Many of the volunteer regiments in Manila have ask through the governors aud congressman of their states 10 be returned to the United States, but the war department has not been able to make any definite promisesN pending the peace negotiations.
 With the acceptance of the American terms by the Spanish commissioners any furthur possibilities of renewal of hostilities with Spain is at an end, and the only necessity for troops is to gar rison the islands and preserve the peace of our new possessions.
 It is probable that the G0,00O or 40, 0,OO0 men mustered out will include a large number organized for service in Cuba. and the force at Manila will be reduced whenever General Otis reports affairs in quiet state at the Philippines.
 Ofthe troops that were to go to Cuba, but that will now be mustered out Bryan's regiment will be among the number as will the territorial regiment known as the Big Four. It is under stool Colonel McCord, who was recent ly promoted one notch In view of tbe Cuban.campaign in contemplation, now desires to retire to private fife, and itis probable he will resume his former pos ition as governor Of Arizona Itis un- derstood the presidet will send h's name to the senate provided ne desires to return to Arizona.-Bulletin

CASE OFTWO CHINAMEN.

Justice Johnstone had a case in court Wednesday between two Chinamen named An Yup and Lee Shin. All entered complaint against Lee, charg- ing the latter vito hitting him in the eye with his fist. Judicial inquiry re- suited in a counter charge from An that Lee had taken him by the cue and threatened to twist it of It was evident therefore, that clear case could not be made out against Lee and he was ac- quilted. The dispute, it seem, arose over money transaction involving g One Chinaman had given the other the sum mentioned 10 send back to China He claimed that the money dId not reach its proper destination, hence difficulty arose.

Beautiful Woman of Noble Servain Family Arrested at Paris.

The Countess de Sestehel, beauti- ful young woman, belonging to noble Seryian family, has been arrested ih Paris for picking pockets. The officials of the various railroad terminals in Paris having been overwhelmed of late with complaints from travlers who were robbed of their Dccketbooks and more or less valuable packages. Detectives were detailed to investigate. For sev- eral weeks their efforts proved fruitless Finally their attention was directed to 8 man and woman, dressed in the height of fashion, who appeared to visit the railroad stations with surprising fre- quency. They were closely watched and it was seen that they seldom took train, but usuallg went as far as the railings, as if they expected to meet some frieud. They scrntinized the car entrance for 8 while and then they would invariably mix with the crowd of arrivals. The companion of the Coun- tess, who proves to be an educated German and discarded son of Q wealthy family, would step up to some unsop- histicated victim and ask for inform ton about this or thaa train, while the Countess would deftly clear out the travellers pockets. The detectives caught them at the act and arrested them. A search of the Countess' apartment resulted in the finding or . miniature dry goods store and in as- founding collection of jewels. purses and shawl straps.-Exchange.

 ReJ Romantic Career

1 The death of Mrs, A L. McKesson is
 announced to have occured few days
 ago al Kingman, of consumption. Her ! funeral was attended largely by citizens
 of Kingmnn and friends and relatives.
 Judge Biakiey oi that place conducted the ianeral services at the grave. Ths Ioregoing soupds pr0ssir and coTf7acn-
 place enough but beneath the formal
 funeral notice there is hidden story Of
 the most romantic kind.
 The Gazette says Mrs. MeKeseOn was a full blooded Apache Indian, who mar ried white man, lived happy civil- lzed lite and left behind to mourn their loss several children When Swear old she was found in an abondaned Apache camp in the Red Rock country by 6 troop oi United States, Calvary and taken to the Army post. There she was adopted by Wales Arnold, the post trader, and his wife. Having no chil- dren of their own and taking liking for the bright little savage, they gave her every care and attention possible. The affection was not misplaced and the little one grew up to be most excellent housekeeper and received good Eng fish education.
 One of the pecularities of Mrs. Mc- Kesson, manifested especially when 6 little girl, was that she never showed the slightest desire to associate with other Indians. Inleed, she dreaded them and would run home very quickly on observing any in the vicinity.
