We arraign the republican admins
tration because, regardless of the rights
of the people, they have increased our
territorial debt over $500, 900 by the
funding of illegal and spurious claims
against the territory, and the enforce
ment of the prison contract before its
final adjudication by the courts, which
have largely increased the debt of the
territory.
We favor the repeal of the laws Gre
ating the boards of equalization, loan
commission, board of control, and i'm
migration commissioners, and also the
law granting the governor the power to
remove officials at pleasure, and the
passage of such laws as will lodge the
powers exercised by these boards in
commissions elected by the people.
We arraign the republican office
holders of Arizona for the defeat of the
home rule bill, which. pending state
hood, is necessary to our advancement
as territory, because it gives the peo-
pie, the taxpayers and citizens the right
to choose their own executive and ad-
miniStrative officers.
The Democracy of Arizona are now,
and always have been, earnestly in
favor of statehood, and we hope it will
not be long before the Congress of the
United States strikes from the wrists of
Arizona the manacles of territorial SER
vitude.
We pledge the Democratic party, its
representative in Congress and its mem
bers of the Legislature to the carrying
out of these measures of remedial re-
form, and ask all good citizens to unite
with us in securing a victory for the
free coinage of silver, statehood, and
legislation that will bring the govern
ment of Arizona closer to the people at
large.

Territorial Democratic Platform.

The democratic party of Arizona re-
affirms its allegiance to the principles
set forth in the national democratic
platform adopted at Chicago at the ma
tional convention in June, 1886.
1t demands that the mints of the
United States be opened to the coinage
OF both gold and silver at the ratio of 16
to ], without asking or awaiting the
consent of any other nation.
To enforce the gold standard through
out the world is impossible. The pre-
sent condition is intolerable. The dem
Ocratic party believes that the issue
thus presented is the most important in
American politics.
The mission of the United States is to
teach the world the sublime lesson of
human liberty and self-government,
and the further lesson that its people
have the courage and ability to dis
charge every responsibility which the
fortunes of war may have thrust upon
their country. Wherever the flag waves,
it shall be the symbol of freedom, and
to all under its folds it will ever qua
.rantee the inalienable rights of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We send greeting to our army and
navy for their heroic valor displayed on
land and sea.
The democratic party of Arizona
hereby approves the recent war with
Spain and justly shares in the glory of
its results. We favor the independence
of Cuba and the retention by this gov
ernment of the Spanish West Indian
possessions and the control by this gov
ernment of other Spanish territory now
occupied by American forces
1t is the duty of the government to
make homes for its citizens Arizona
has a large amount of arabic lands,
sufficient in extent for millions of popu-
lation, which can be reduced to cuItiva-
tion through the agency of the govern
ment, by building storage reservoirs
and preserving the storm flood waters
for irrigation purposes.
Therefore, inasmuch as we secure
none of the benefits from the river and
harbor appropriations, we think it only
just that liberal appropriation should
be made by tho general government for
this purpose.
The setting aside of one-4uarter of the
territorial area of Arizona as a timber
reserve works a great hardship upon
the territory at large, without equiva-
lent benefits The forests can be pre-
served under proper legislation without
excluding them absolutely from minin y

MEXICO'S PRESIDENT.
General Diaz to Resign at the End of
His Twentieth Year.

General DIaZ TO Resign at the End OF
His Twentieth Year.
In 1900 General Diaz will complete
his twentieth year as the president OF
Mexico, when it is his desire to perma-
nently retire to private place. When
asked who would be his successor as
chief executive, he promptly expressed
preference for Senior Ives Limantour,
present secretary of the treasury, with
General Bernardo Reyes as his second
choice.
The president is great believer in
young men, Senor Limantour being
little more than 40 years of age. General
| Diaz is practically dictator in Mexico,
and makes no secret of the fact that
with him rests the choice of his success
sor in Office, he to continue for term
as the power behind the throne. It is
held by many that military ruler is
still needed in the cactus republic to
hold in check the revolutionary spirit
SO natural in the southern races, but
General Diaz believes that civilian can
now be safely entrusted with executive
pOnSIs OGnSI"lSS lie WOultl 1ou-
eral Reyes as his first presidential
choice.
Senior Limantour has rendered such
signal service at the head of the treas
ury department that he has gained the
confidence of all classes. Largely by
his financiering ability Mexican credit
has been completely sustained, despite
the heavy depreciation in Mexican sill
| yer money, and the national budget
now shows credit balance at the end
of each year.
Two older men often mentioned for
the presidency are Senor Ignacio Ma
riscal, secretary of foreign relations in
the Mexican cabinet, and former min
lister to the United States, and Don
Matias Romero, present Mexican envoy
to Washington. Both of these diplo-
mats are friendly to the United States,
and are counted among the strongest
men in the Mexican service. Washing

smallest islet of the group, is situated
seven miles southwest from Niihau. OF
the larger islands seven only are in
| habited, Kahoolawe having been aban-
doned several years ago.
These islands present a great variety
of soil, climate and natural productions.
Sugar is the staple product. Rice is
second in Importance, and bananas
have become n profitable export. Coffee
may be grown on most soils up to an
elevation of 2,0O0 feet. The coffee
raised on Koua district, of Hawaii, is
unsurpassed in quality Tobacco has
become almost weed, but is cultivated
by the natives for their own use. Ex
perts in tobacco culture who have
visited the islands express the opinion
that the finest quality of leaf may be
raised here. Among the other natural
products which have been introduced,
and which have run wild are indigo
and sumac. There are many medicinal
plants indigenour to the islands, and an
almost endless variety of fbrous plants.
Wherever rsmie has been introduced it
is difficult to eradicate. Indeed 1t is
not too much to say that the soil and
climate of the Hawaiian Islands render
| certain the growth and perfecting of
every plant. shrub and fruit common to
sub-tropical countries, while on the
higher elevations of Hawaii and Maui
the fruits, cereals and grasses of the
temperate zone do well. Citrus fruits
grow to perfection, as do also lcquat,
mango, tamar.nd, ohia or mountain
apple; bread fruit; papaia, or pawnaw,
of the West Indies: avocado: or alliga
tor pear: pine apple; native strawb berry
and raspberry: ohelo, or native nuckle
berry; Cape gooseberry, etc. There are
several varieties of forest trees pro-
ducing furniture and building timber,
but sandal wood once plentiful, has been
exhausted.
The native grasses have been nearly
exterminated by cattle and sheep, but
their place has been taken by imported
grasses. much to the Improvement of
the grazing. The islands are now fairly
well grassed, principally by manienie or
Bermuda grass. Spanish clover does
well, and where care is taken in esta b.
| fishing it, alfalfa, or California luccrne,
| also thrives. -----.- -
Game abounds in the mountains,
nearly all having been introduced. Of
winged game, peacocks are most COM
mon on Maui Turkeys, pheasants,
California quail, plover, ducks, etc, are
/ TO be found on all the islands. Small
herds of deer have been established on
the islands of Hawaii and Molokai.
Wild goats and cattle afford good shoot
| ing on Hawaii and Maui, and wild hogs
are to be found everywhere in the
| woods.
The waters surrounding these islands
abound in food fish, the flesh of which
is of great delicacy. Some varieties are
peculiar in shape, others are artistically
/ stripped and spotted in brilliant colors.

A Keswick Copper Mine Forced to Shut
Down

REDDING. June 10.-Great excitement
prevails in Keswick tonight, $50 men en-
ployed on the roasters of the Mountain
Copper company at Keswick having walked
out on strike. At 1890 this morning as
Thomas Nelson superintendent of the
roasters, was passing on his trip along the
line of roasters, Sam Jones, delegate of
the employees, informed him that unless
wages were raised from $1.S5 to $2.10 per
day and ten hours made to constitute a
days labor, instead of twelve, the men
would walk out at l p. m. The superin-
tendent replied that he would have TO see l..

them know what decision had been arrived
at by tonight or tomorrow.
Jones replied "All right" but tonight the
men walked out. There are only thirty
rooster men working tonight. Manager
Wright says "If work be not resumed in
this department the mine will have to be
shut down and the railway, smelter and all
other works will have to be suspended. 1t
is to be deplored that by this hasty action
on the part of few men, who have not
