FRIDAY. DEC. 16.
THE LAST RESORT.

The Little Falls Electric &
Water Co., finding itself in
sore straits, defeated in the
state supreme court, and con-
fronted with the determina-
ton of the people of Little
Falls to own a municipal light
and water system-has en-
deavored to avert the newt
able by striking a blow at the
city's credit and seeking to
prevent the issue of bonds.
The temporary injunction
brought against the city Of
fcers is issued on the COM
plant of Geo. w. Thayer, of
Rochester, N. Y, who alleges
that he is a taxpayer of Little
Falls. This is the same
Thayer against whom Morri-
son county tax judgments
aggregating nearly $4,000
have been affirmed. He may
be a good representative of
the Electric & Water con-
Germ, but scarcely a fit up
holder of the people who
really pay taxes. However,
that has nothing to do with
the case, as some outsider had
to be brought in so that the
proceedings could be had.
The complaint says that the
contract lately declared illeg-
al by the supreme court of
Minnesota, is legal and bind
ing. It isn't likely that the
circuit judge willquestion the
unanimous opinion of the
whole Minnesota supreme
bench. The complaint alleges
that the present service is
good and sufficient, which will
be indeed news to the people
of the city.
The complaint says that the
Law under which the bonds
were to be issued is unconsti-
tutional. The law was drawn
by an able lawyer, and many
bonds have been sold under it
by various cities, and improve
ments made. It is strange
that the buyers of bonds, who
are unusually careful in such
matters, should have bought
bonds under an unconstitu-
tionallaw. ~.
Another allegation is that
with the proposed issue of
100000 bonds, the indebted
ness of the city would be over
the ten per cent limit of in
debtedness. The complaint
represents the debt of the city
to be $4,000, which is untrue,
as the bonded indebtedness Of
the city is $4,000 and the
floating Indebtedness about
SIP, 500, making $37, 500. The
last assessed valuation 81. the.
city-1897-is stated to be.
$949, 655. II, this assessment.
were the basis Of the bond is

then, be above the limit, but

WHAT the United States yolun

WHAT the United States volun- teer army needs today is general with sufficient nerve to order under arrest a mutinous regiment, sur round the mutinous men with a division of infantry, regiment of cavalry, and park of artillery with all guns shotted, giving them fifteen minutes to get down from off their perch or take the con sequences, as was done with the Seventy-third New York Infantry regiment in the fall of 1861. It is disgusting to an old soldier to read the accounts of insubordination violation of orders, defiance of provost guards. mob violence and other breaches of discipline con stantly coming from every camp in the country. It is enough to make Sheridan or Sherman turn over in his grave.

Johnnie" Hughes shouts free silver"
 It won't do. The people of Pima county are awake to the is- sue now present and pressing. That issue is past democratic maladmin- istration of public affairs in Pima county; and they are going to cor rect it by making clean sweep of democratic officials from the court house at Tucson. filling the places with good republicans.

ALL political campaigns have their ridiculous features. The most ridiculous aspect of the ore. sent campaign in Pima county is the gravity with which the dem. ocratic candidate assumes that the final settlement of the silver question rests upon his election to boss the public schools in county which has not so many school child ren or teachers as some wards in eastern cities.

"THE republican platform in Arizona says not a word about sil- yer, Y" is the democratic plaint. Neitherdoes the democratic platform in New York, which state will elect more than thirty congressman and a United States senator. If the democracy wants to do something for silver why don't it say so in New York where voters count and could have weight.

IN FINAL county Doctor Austin C. Wright is the republican nom inee to the territorial legislative council and should be elected. Per sonally THE OASIS editor has known Doctor Wright a number of years and can truthfully say that he is able, conscientious, upright and fearless. He served Cochise county two terms in the tower house, being reelected by an in- creased majority. He was a very efficient and effective working mem Der and did a world of work in the interest of his constituents. His experience and capability deserve the flattering compliment of an overwhelming majority.

his grave

IN THE republican candidate for probate judge. MT Chas. Bowman of Tucson, the electors of Pima county have presented for their suffrages a gentlemen who will fill the office with signal ability and to the best interests of those whose affairs will be conhded to his care. Learned in the law. experienced energetic and straightforward, MT. Bowman is eminently qualified for the position. Long resident of the county, widely acquainted and we'll posted, nothing of consequence in the discharge of his duty can escape him, and his administration oi the position will be eminently satis- factory, honest and incorruptible. Every voter should bear in mind these facts and vote for MT. Bow man.

rIrIruL YET AMUSING.

cratic county candidates Wnen
 they addressed the people of No gales last Saturday night. to evade the issues of maladministration and downright robbery O. the public treasury done by democratic oth- cials at Tucson within the past four years. and to lug ill outside issues that cut no figure in county affairs, were both amusing anG
 pitiful-amusing in the supera- bundance of gall manifested, and
 piti(ul in the plainly apparant un- easiness of the candidates at the
 perilous situation in which they are placed by the malieasance and
 misfeasance of the democratic of ficials in the court house, whom
 they hope to but will not succeed.
 Captain Kelton, candidate for sheriff, led the band and to the surprise of all he played republi- can music, but in a minor key To the astonishmeni of everyone he intimated that he believes in a pro- tective tariff. That's good, repub- lican doctrine. surely; but what difference does it make i'll his cap- acity to discharge the duties of the high and responsible office of sher- if whether Captain Kelton believes in protection or free trade? More to the point would tt have been had he been able to show so splendid record as sheriff of Cochise county that he earned and received reelection which he did not.

Germany Has Troubles Of Her Own.

Too much Importance a very easily
be attached to the remark reported made
by Emperor William on the Cuban ques-
ton. According to the report the Ger
mar ruler said: "What l declare is,
that as long as William III is emperor of
Germany, the Yankees shall not take
possession of Cuba"
In the first place the chances are that
the emperor never said any such thing.
He may be a little off in his upper story
on some subjects, but he is not entirely
wrong there, and he knows that a dec
laration of such import would precipitate
war in less than a week. If the Spanish
were certain Of an ally as powerful as
Germany there would be no hesitancy In
declaring war, and just at this time,
with the affairs in China in the shape
they are, William has no desire to stir
up unknown complications.
In the next place, had William made
the remark and meant 1t 80 far as he is
concerned, it would have no especial
weight. The people of Germany are not
anxious to become tangled up with this
country and the reichstag would in all
probability call the var lord to account
for his presumptuous interference and
nullify his desires.
Until the Chinese question is settled
beyond danger of further unpleasant
ness, until the people of Alsace and
Lorraine signify their complete satisfac-
tion with German rule and France no
longer covets these fertile Provinces;
until a number of other matters of inter-
national concern are settled, Germany
has enough troubles of her own to pre-
vent mixing up in quarrels which are of
no Importance to the welfare of the
Fatherland.

Live Stock Conditions.

The statistician of the department Of
agriculture has just made o report or
the live stock conditions in the United
States that will prove a serious stumb-
ling block to the calamity howlers and
Populists in the coming campaign.
The report shows that the live stock
in the country is worth 1896, 000, 900
more at the present time than a year
ago, an increase Of over IA per cent,
and at the same time there has been a
considerable decrease In the number of
animals with the exception of mules and
sheep. The greatest decrease is in the
number Of cattle, which is 1,345,O0O less
than last year, although the value Of
the cattle is Sill, 600, 900 greater than a
year ago. The horses are worth $685..
600, 900 more, and the number on the
farms IL 4O3, 900 less. OF hogs there are
$40, 900 less, but the increase in value is
$4,000, 900. Sheep show an increase Of
$4,000 In number and an increase in
value Of as5, 200, 900. The increase in
the value Of farm animals Is attribute.

Ing from improved business conditions,

Western Travel Needed.

During the past month there has been
much talk of war and the possible re-
suits of a conflict with Spain and what
ever allies she might have in the event
of trouble, and the opinion expressed by
men of prominence concerning the re-
sources of the United States have ex-
posed a wonderful amount of ignorance
on the latter subject.
From the mass of evidence adduced
but one conclusion can be drawn: That
the eastern cities are filed with men
who know nothing about their own
country. They have visited a few towns
and cities east of the Allegheny noun
tains and travelled extensively in Europe,
Asia and Africa, and make comparisons
accordingly. To them the United
States is represented by a narrow strip
of country along the Atlantic sea-board
and is therefore a small and unimport-
ant nation. That there is a vast domain
to the west of their province seems to
them impossible and when there is talk
of serious trouble with some of the for
eign countries they have visited, they
are frightened to death; defeat is in
evitable and property depreciates in
value so rapidly that paupers are manu-
featured to order.
1t is to be lamented that much OF the
timidity of the American people is due
to this strange condition, but it is true
nevertheless. From the density of popu-
lation and the Capitalization of wealth
in the states on the Atlantic coast that
part of the country naturally yields a
great influence in controlling legisla-
ton, and many acts Of congress which
are displeasing to the people of the mid
die and western states result from an
imperfect knowledge of the resources
and actual strength of the entire coun-
try within the boundaries of its posses
sions.
The only remedy for this sort Of ignor-
ance is travel, not in foreign lands, but
at home, and the man or association of
men that contrive some scheme for
turning the steps Of eastern people from
the east to the west will accomplish
much toward settling many of the ques-
lions which now vex the nation.

DECORATED

grain. SO where a coat of varnish will suf-
flee to renew their attractiveness paint
should not be used. 1t sometimes happens,
however, that old furniture of a graceful
shape and still strong has been injured
and discolored to such nm extent that var
nish will not remove or conceal the disfig-
urement. In that case enamel Is the only
resort, and, as enameled furniture is much
in vogue at present, the result Is often sur
prisingly good. The cane seats of chairs
may be enameled just as the frame is, but
it should be remembered that one or two
coats Of ordinary paint of the desired color
should be applied and the enamel only
used as a finish, as thick enamel cracks
and chips off. White, ivory, pale green,
dark red, dark green, brown and black are
the ~favorite colors. Loose cushions of flow
cred silk, fastened with ribbons, are APP
propriate for chairs thus treated Rattan
furniture as well as that made of wood
takes paint and enamel very satisfactorily.
Small marquise parasols may be con-
verified into very pretty umbrella shades
for tall lamps. The handle of the parasol
is removed, and a hole is cut in the top to
allow of tho passage Of the lamp chimney.
The parasol is sustained by a wire frame
such as Is used for paper lamp shades, and
a ruche is arranged around the opening
at the top, a rutfle to match being placed
around the outer edge.

the falling off in the number of animals
in the country.
The report of the government statiS-
tician will add to the confidence of stock
men in the continuation of the present
upward tendency of the markets. There
was a widespread fear last fall that the
business of cattle-feeding was being
overdone, and many conservative feed
ers refused to buy feeding and stock
cattle at the high prices prevailing, but
the course of the market up to the pres
ent time has not justified those fears,
and now the report of the government
statistician, showing that there are
1,345. 900 fewer cattle and $40, 600 fewer
hogs in the country than a year ago,
will have a tendency to give a new i'm
petus to the live stock business, and
reassure capitalists and bankers who
have loaned money on cattle paper.
There is, at the present time, almost
a scarcity Of prime fat cattle in the mar
kets, and the best are selling at about
s. per hundred weight. The govern
ment report may be taken as an indica-
ton that prices will go still higher,
rather than decline. 1t is especially
gratifying to see the markets in such
good condition at a time when there is
plenty of corn in the country to carry
IN feeding operations.
The value of horses and mules have
not advanced as much as might have
been expected as a result of the i'm
improved financial condition of the
farmers. 1t would have been natural to
expect a great falling off in the number
of horses offered for sale, because of the
greater demand for them on the farms,
and the disposition of farmers to hold
them rather than part with them for
low prices. 1t is not unlikely that the
effect of this will be felt this spring and
in the coming summer, so that u ma
terial rise in values of horses and mules
Is not unlikely.

THE Mckinley tariff law in its time
and the Dingley tariff law now have done
and are doing great good for the coun-
try. In the item of the manufacture of
silk, for instance. This industry is
growing very rapidly. Imporeations Of
manufactured silks during the past
eight months have fallen off one-third.
Over $50, 900 persons are now employed in
this country in making silk goods and
silk mills are being established in many
sections of the country. Silk goods are
getting cheaper and becoming right
along less Of a luxury for the rich alone.
The Dingley tariff law is all right and is
