mother tongue. They are asking thes
voters Of the territory to lay aside their
manhood and do the bidding Of their
would-be masters. They are asking
them to sacrifice principle to gain that
which is theirs by right and justice.
Il is feeble attempt at forcing them
to change their political opinions to
obtain that which is being arbitrarily
denied them by the party in power. It
is virtually saying to them "do as we
bid you and we will admit your terri
tory to statehood. AS long as you dare
exercise the freedom Of thought and
freedom Of speech, you cannot enter
the sisterhood CT states, and must re-
main province to be ruled by the ap-
pointees Of the federal government"
That is the attitude Of the republican
party of Arizona as foreshadoWed by
the press Of the territory, owned and
controlled by the unscrupulOus com
bination who have already cost the ter
ritory hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars. Who SO low as to accept state
hood on such humiliating conditions
Yet, they have the monumental gall TO
claim the republican is the party Of
liberality, broad-gauged ideas, and per-
feet freedom, at the same time attempt
ing the worst form of coercion.

Bill Arp on Bryan.

We had great treat at our town this
morning. Colonel William J. Bryan
with his Nebraska regiment stopped
here for an hour and they electrified
every ybody with their presence. It is
by far the best regiment we have seen.
The best looking, the best behaved and
the best equipped, and they love and
idoiize their colonel They feel ele
waited and refined by his commanding
presence and wouldn't do anything tha-
would mortify bis pride or wound his
feelings. What grand and noble man
he is. How majestic in person, how
gentle in manners, how inspiring in
language and conversation. How our
hearts did burn within US when he
spoke. I tell you, my. countrymen, I
would trust him with all my interestin
national affairs. He is Daniel Web-4
ster and Henry Clay combined. May
the good Lord keep him and preserve
him and return him safe to his family
and to the nation. The silver question
may pass away and be forgotten. The
tariff may settle down, but other and
greater issues will grow ont Of the war,
and thenation will need a Bryan at the
helm Of government This is the way
feel about it and 7 cannot help it

of Stockton, Kansas, took his best girl
to picnic. There she accepted SO many
attentions from other young men that
the first young man became enraged
and went home, leaving the girl to get
back to her home as best she might
She hired a hack, for which her father
paid rs cents, and then the old man sent
tho biI4-to the sulky young suitor. He
refused to pay, and the old man sued
him in Justices court, alleging that
having taken the girl to the picnic, it
became his duty to see her safely home
at his own expense. Both sides have
hired lawyers, and the case will be

Speaking Of Spain a newspaper of
Turin, Italy, says: "There are multi
tudes of fathers and mothers who in
their hearts will bless the hand of Nc
Kinley by vigorous compression, it
shall at least suffocate the madness af-
ter dominion which is bringing down
every fortune and costing SO many lives
to unhappy Spain. 1t becomes us, as
Catholics and as profoundly convinced
Catholics, to bear in mind that here
tics, free-thinkers, Masons, atheists, all
taken together, have not injured reli-
gion SO much as Spain; not by the in
QUESTION alone, but by that system Of
arbitrary terrorism which has infected
her blood and her institutions. Cathol-
icism in America is hourishing, because
it. has identified itself with freedom
There Cardinal Gibbons and Archbfsh-
op Ireland are esteemed, venerated
even, by the protestants, because they
speak only the gospel. It will be so
with the Spanish cardinals and bishops
when they do the same. Now they are
beating to arms, exciting to bloodshed.
Cardinal Sancha has published dis
course which, had it not appeared in a
Catholic journal, might have been
thought malignant Voltarian carica-
ture."

our sister territory is on an average
much higher and more easily worked
than that from northern states. The
United Verde mine at Jerome now pays
over 100000 per year over expenses
and is one of the most noted copper
mines in the world. This property was
offered for sale for $4,000 few years
ago, but three times as many million
would not buy it now. It is also re-
ported that the Copper Queen mine at
Bisbee will pay their stockholders 81

Once more silver and wheat have
come close together, says the Tucson
Star. Throughout the western states
the farmers get so cents bushel for
wheat, and miners receive 60 cents an
ounce for bar silver. How now about
the fifty cent silver dollar and the gold
dollar wheat? Because of the famine
in India last year, and light crops in
eastern and southern wheat growing
countries, Letter and other gamblers
cornored American wheat and forced
up the price for short time. The re-
publicans claimed dollar wheat was the
result OF high tariff and the gold stand
ard policy, and claimed the credit for
the republican administration. Who
now is to blame for the present low
prices and general stagnation in all
kinds of business except that pertain
ing to the war?

The following homely Illustration
contains more truth than poetry: ''Tf
you take cat by himself and pinch his
tail, he viii scratch and bite your hand;
but take two eats and put them side by
side and pinch both their tails at the
same time, they will scratch and bite
each other. Plutocracy has learned
this trick, so it gets the people arrayed
in two parties and pinches their tails,
and then they fight each other. Like
cats, they never turn to fight the hand
that pinche5 them"

unjust debt upon them, and even de-
MED them home rule. Talk about state

The Kansas City Star believes the

for their wheat and that the aggregate
value of the present crop will be less

1t is evident that the republican press
of the territory do not realize the full
meaning of their language, when they
ask the people of the territory, who are
known to be opposed to the gold stand
ard, a high protective tariff, and the
rule of the money power, to vote for a
man who must favor these things, to be
in full sympathy with the administra-
tion-or, they must think their patrons
such thick-headed, ignorant cbumps as
are incapable Of understanding their
