The Arizona Graphic is number ed with the things that were. The most sanguine hardly expected to see such journal sail long upon this portion of the more or less troubled sea of journalism before going to wreck upon the rocks of financial distress. The Graphic was one of the most artistic and ablest edited periodicals on the coast and was a perfect reflect of the Arizona of which we arc wont to dream, and could it but have survived its infancy would have done more to create respect for Arl- zena and her people than would have thousands of dollars expended iu different manner. An appro- priation by the legislature for the maintenance of such paper would not be amiss. It IS to be deplored that the Graphic has suspended.

A sHORT-LIvED LIE.

Democratic managers had few hours Of
Joy yesterday. caused by the alleged IN
terview of a reporter Of the Philadelphia
Times with ex-President Cleveland in
which he was declared TO have predicted
the election of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is so long
since the chaps about Bryan headquarters
were carried away with a paroxysm OF
delirious joy that they could not stop 10
examine the fraudulent dispatch, which
bears the earmarks of a stupid forgery
by an amateur reporter, but went forth
with their heads in the air to declare that
Bryan is already elected But their joy
has been turned to deepest gloom. Ex-
President Cleveland was assailed by an
avalanche of dispatches. and was evidently
very angry when he gave out the following
relating to the interview of the Philadel-
phia Times:
The whole thing from beginning to end
is an absolute lie, without the least
foundation or shadow of truth. l have
never uttered a word to any human being
that affords the least preteXt for such a
mendacious statement. | have already
telegraphed the Philadelphia Times to this
effect
Thus one Bryan fake has met with sud-
den and emphatic exposure. There will
be others, inspired and uninspired. during
the next week, which no sensible man
who does not believe in Organism should
believe for a moment

Richard Croker. the Tammany boss, has
sent out a warning to Democrats that at
tempts will be made to count out Mr.
Bryan on election day. He says:
Every man who votes for Bryan should
see that his vote is counted, and there Is
only one way to do that safely. My advice
10 Democratic voters the country over is
10 congregate about the polling places on
the evening of election day, count noses,
and then, If the election returns for Bry-
an don't tally with their count, to go into
the polling places and throw those fellows
in charge of the returns into the street.
This is notice to the Tammany gang
in New York and TO Democrats generally
to resort to violence if necessary to car
ry the election. 1t shows the desperation
of the Bryan crowd. 1t is the same spirit
that led to assaults on Governor Roose-
welt at several places and finally in his
own State, at Elmira, the home of the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
Croker is playing a desperate game for
a big stake. and will stop at nothing TO
carry his point, and the spirit of Croker
ism is the spirit of Organism everywhere.
The honor of the Nation and the safety
of the government require the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the combine"

ALVORD ARRAIGNED.
State and Federal OmciaIs Both Anx-
iOus to Try the Embezzler.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Cornelius L. Al
word, jr.. the embezzling note teller of the
First National Bank, who was arrested
yesterday In Boston, was arraigned In Po-
lice Court here to-day and remanded to
police headquarters till o'clock this after
noon in order to give the legal authorities
time to decide whether he shall be tried
before the United States or State courts.
Alvord was accompanied by his counsel
A conference had been arranged between
United States District Attorney Burnett
and Asa Bird Gardner. district attorney for
New York county. to decide upon the dispo-
sitton of Alvord's case
When Alvord rearraigned in Police
Court this afternoon, Fisher A Baker,
counsel for the First National Bank said
that he had secured a warrant from the
United States District Court for Alvord's
arrest under the laws regulating embezzle-
ment and making false entries. He said he
would much prefer that the prisoner go
before the United States courts for trial
This was opposed by District Attorney
Gardiner. Alvord's attorney apparently
took little interest in this part of the pro-
ceedings- After some discussion the whole
matter went over until tomorrow. Alvord
was committed to the Tombs. II appears
probable there may be a long contest as to
jurisdiction, District Attorney Gardiner an
parenty being determined that the prisoner
shall be tried in a State court.

The following is from Mr. Bryan's book
published nearly four years ago, entitled
1.-The First Battle:"
The gold standard means dearer money.
uearer money means cheaper propertv.
cheaper property means harder times:
harder times means more people out Of
work: more people out of work means
more people destitute; more people desti-
tute means moro people desperate; more
people desperate means more crime
This is from a speech delivered by Mr..
Bryan at Minneapolis. and which he
thought worthy OF insertion in his catch
penny book. II is a sort OF '"rhe House
that Jack Built" argument to prove that
the gold standard causes crime. Observe
the statements II contains which have
been dsproved by experience. 1.-THE gold
standard means dearer money" money is
cheaper how, that is the rate of interest
is lower. than was ever known before.
Property. instead OF being cheaper. is
higher than it was four years ago; times
are better instead of harder; fewer peopIe
are out OF work instead OF more. and.
OF course. fewer people are destitute. These
misstatements and false predictions are

A dispatch from Omaha says that crop
reports from every county in Nebraska,
except nine, which are devoted to grazing,
show that the four staple crops of the
State will net the farmers the largest sum
in it's history. y comparison is made be-
tween present prices and those of 1896. as
follows:
The total estimated yield of corn is PAL
S35.527 bushels, bringing in, at 30 cents
bushel, So, $50 oS- The same amount In 1896,
at IA cents bushel, would have brought
S33, SIC, 973.7S. The wheat yield is 80. 7Ol. 635
bushels, at So cents, while the price was
80 cents I'm 1896. The farmers will market
4S,lS5, 40 bushels of oats at is cents. as
against 10 cents four years ago, and $500
S77 bushels of rye at 80 cents, which
brought 16 cents in 1896 The same crop of
the four staples would have been worth
in the Democratic times of 1896 $50. $50 695
less than to-day.

1t Is reported that Mark Twain is to have
for his neighbor at Hartford Mr.. Ernest
Seton Thompson. and that the humorist
is looking forward with interest to making
the acquaintance of the various wild an
imals which are to be feature of the
Thompson establishment. The informa
ton that Thompson keeps a menagerie en-
his premises Will. to many OF his admirers
seem not quite in keeping with his SYM
pathetic attitude toward them in the wild
state. The one idea above all others i'm
pressed upon the readers OF Thompson's
animal studies is that the creatures have
the right TO live their lives in their own
way. and that way is certainly not cam
tivity. Can ii be that Mr.. Thompson
studies the wild animals from the outside
of a cage and draws on his imagination
for the nature setting?

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

The Journal would emphasize the import
ance of the election of the Republican State
and legislative ticket. This is done because
it is said that quite a number of voters
will vote for the Mckinley electors and the
Democratic State ticket. 1t is given out
that the Gold Democrats are likely to so
vote, but upon what authority no one has
Democrats are men who desire a business
like management of State affairs, and that
the principle of nonpartisanship be main
tanned as it now exists in all the State
benevolent, reformatory and penal institu-
tons. During; the past few years there
have been no scandals about public insti-
tutions. Employees hold their positions up
on the basis of efficient and faithful SER
vice. Under the operation of this policy
the per capita cost of maintaining the
States wards and criminals was re-
duced from s2o5.53 in 1890 to $500 in 1892
a decrease of sS4.45 per capita. In 1899
the States institutions contained Sill per-
sons. so that the State paid s2S1, 4sOe5 less
than ii would have paid in 1890 This is
the result of the business methods which
came with Republican supremacy
Do the voters who read the Journal desire
that this policy shall continue. or are some
OF them weary of it and desire to return TO
the old and irresponsible method? If they
are anxious to have such a change they
can be very certain of securing il by voting
for the Democratic ticket which so surely
represents Taggartism as exemplihed by
the extravaganza and corrupt rule of the
recent regime in Indianapolis On the
other hand voters who believe in clean and
competent management Of State affairs will
vote the entire Republican State ticket.

made In 1896 and has repeated during the
connection between hard times. destitu-
ton and crime. but there is none what
ever between these and the gold standard
II the gold standard is productive of or
conducive TO poverty and crime. then
crime should have been increasing in this
country in greater ratio than population
for many years past, and especially since
the gold standard was established by law.
The reverse is true. In an address de-
livered in this city last Sunday night. ].
W. Comfort, chaplain of the Indiana Re-
formatory. said that the number of prison
ers in the Indiana Reformatory Is de-
creasing, and assigned as one OF the rea-
sons 1.-The splendid business activity that
has been omnipresent throughout the
length and breadth of our whole country
during the last three years" Ha added:
II don't say anything about the full din
ner pail, because I am not a politician.
but this 1 do know, that the employment
Of idle hands leaves no time for thoughts
OIL crime, ana tnat honest employment
knocks a hole in the record of crime"
The same is true of the State prison, or
the old Northern prison. where the number
of inmates. instead of increasing, from year
to year with the population, decreased
from ssS in 1895 to 76s in 1899. In the Massa-
chusetts prison there were only eleven
more convicts in 1899 than there were in
1897. while the number in the Reformatory
decreased from 995 in 1897 to $50 in 1899.
No doubt the penal statistics of every
Northern State would show marked dim
mutton of crime in proportion to popula
ton between the hard times period of 1893
to 1896 and the prosperity period of 1897
to 1900. 1t is hardly worth while, however,
to expose Mr.. Bryan's fallacies and mis-
statements. His ignorance of facts and
Of the principles of finance and political
economy is only equaled by the wildness
of his predictions and the recklessness
with which he draws on his imagination
for facts.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-10-31

In 1896 when the money question was. by
Mr.. Bryan's own statement. the paramount
issue, he took frequent occasion to de-
nounce gold and the gold standard as a
prolific source of danger and disaster In
a speech at Newark. N. j.. he said:
The gold standard makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer; il decreases the num-
Der of those who are happy and increases
the number of those who are in distress.
When you can prove to me that the Creator
intended civilization to lapse again into the
dark ages, when you can prove to me that
the few should ride upon the backs of
those who toll. then, and not until then,
can you convince me that the gold stand
ard will prevail.
The great increase in savings bank de-
posits and in the payments to building and
loan associations show that the poor have
not been growing poorer under the gold
standard during the last three years. n
one of his speeches in this city in October,
1896. Mr.. Bryn said:
Gold is arrogant and tyrannical i'm time
or peace, and IL deserts any nation in time
OF war, and never is friend when friend
is needed. We have commenced a
warfare against the gold standard, and
We expect to continue that warfare until
there will not be a man in this country
VINO Will dare TO raise his voice in favor
OF the gold standard.
The statement that "gold deserts any
nation in time of war; is a flourish of
rhetoric that any schoolboy could dis
prove. England has fought all her modern
wars on a gold basis. The Franco-German
war was fought on gold basis. and so
was our recent war with Spain. AT Mime
apolis Mr.. Bryan said:
The gold standard simply means that
commerce will always be agitated. and the
few who hold the money of the world will
be able to loan 1t first to one nation and
then TO another, and thus gather in all the
fruits of those who toll, while the masses
OF the people Will be hewers of wood and
drawers of water. receiving each year less
consideration and enjoying less of comfort
than they did the year before.
The only agitation of commerce since the
establishment of the gold standard in this
country by law has been the enormous
extension Of our foreign trade, while we
have become creditor instead of a debt
or Nation. These quotations might be in
definitely multiplied. and Mr.. Bryan de-
clares that on the money question he
stands where he did in 1896. He wants it
understood that he has neither forgotten
anything nor learned anything
