A young man once wrote to Beecher
saying, II am an honest young man
and | would like an easy place"
Beecher replied, Don't be an editor,
don't be d minister, don't be lawyer,
a mechanic, or civil engineer, don't
bea teacher, in fact don't be anything,
for the only easy place is in Green
wood cemetery.

Money is a creation of law,
and Of law only. It's crea tion is
a government monopoly. Law
determines to-day, approximate
ly, the amount of money that
the public may have with which
to effect their exchanges, says
an exchange. Briefly formu-
lated the situation stands about
thus: Prosperity is determined
by the reward of production
the price. Price is determined
by the law of supply and de
mand finding it's expression in
the relation of the volume Of
money to the volume Of ex-
changeable products. The vol
ume of money is determined by
law. Hence, price, or the re-
ward of production, is deter
mined by law. The conclusion,
therefore, is, that prosperity has
been destroyed by contraction
of the volume of money result
ing from the demonetization Of
silver, and that it can be re
stored only by the restoration to
its former status.

grand display of celestial fire
works will take place all over

not be the case in those parts
of the world where for more
than half the time the sky is
obscured by clouds.

crest Reservations.

We have taken considerable
pains to gather from reliableand
experienced sources, the opin-
ions Of representative men as to
whether the grazing of forest
reserves is a adetriment or a ben
eft to the growth of timber and
the suppression OF fires. It is
almost the universal verdict that
grazing is a benefit, and a pre-
ventive, rather than a source Of
fires. It keeps worthless under
growth tramped out, allowing
the serviceable timber to attain
its full growth. II keeps the
grass fed down, so that in case
a fire breaks out, there will not
be as much fuel for it to feed on
and spread, as there would be in
case the surface was covered
with a rank growth Of dry grass.
Another safeguard is the herd
ers who are on the range day
and night. It is to their ease
and comfort and to the interest
of their employers, to keep down
fires, because it destroys feed
and makes their task harder.
1t is an erroneous assertion to
state that forest fires originate
from the carelessness of herd
ers. They more often occur
from the carelessuess Of hunt
ing parties, and are frequently
stopped by herders before get
ting under good headway. Al
low our mountains to become
thickly covered with dry grass
and studded with a dense under
growth of useless shrubbery;
then start q fire in the fall when
hunting parties are usually in
the mountains, and one fire will
destroy more timber than is now
destroyed in twenty years by
grazing.
Another view of this matter.
and a very serious one too; is,
that d large and influential class
of our citizens have invested
considerable capital in cattle
and sheep. They did so when
the mountains were open to all,
and figured on this part Of I'm
Gle Sam S domain as pasture for
i their stock. To drive them from
that range now, would force
them to dispose of their stock
for whatever they could get,
entailing a heavy loss on the
owners and entirely destroying
one Of the principal industries
OF northern Arizona. Such a
result would be more far reach
ing and disastrous than many.
who have not given the matter
serious consideration, realize.
It would be a public calamity,
and come near, if not quite,
banlrupting the northern tier Of
counties. Take the stock from
the assessment rolls Of Apache,
Navajo and Coconino, and it
