GOV. BOYD AGAINST BRYAN.

Ex-Gov. James E. Boyd, the onl, democrat ever elected as governor O Nebraska, has announced his opposi ton to Bryan on account of his ire, silver views. He says:
 With America imperialism is i'm possible. We have been acquiring territory ever since the government was founded, yet this is not an em pire. To say that new territory ad. ded from time to time will be followed by an emperor to rule over us is ab- surd. Bryan may deceive some peo- pie by his far-fetched cry of imperial ism, but the scare is of short dura- ton.
 The greatest mistake Bryan ever made was to require the Kansas City convention to reiterate the l6 to 1 sil- yer free coinage plank. He empha- sized it above all others. thus doing what the republicans would have him do. It will cause Bryan's defeat un- der heavier majorities than were given four years ago. It was sheer idiocy. Money was never so plentiful and the interest rate never so low. Prices of farm products was never better and the producers are getting gold money for their products. Property is evi- dence that cannot be talked down. It may not be due to Mckinley but it is possible under the policy for which Mckinley stands"

4 PARTY OF MISTAKES.

Our contemporary makes a strong appeal this morning to democrats tC register. It urges them to overlook what it calls mistake of the party in passing that poll tax law, and for them to register and vote the democratic ticket and give the party another show to make more mistakes.
 It does seem as though intelligent citizens of the democratic faith would tire some time of the bungling of their representatives, as law pakers. In the nineteenth legislature where they had clean cut majority-almost a unanimous vote in the legislature the infamous law was passed whereby a score of murderers were legislated exemption from the penalties of their crimes. 'It was a mistake and it's operation was not intended in this way" was their only excuse or apology for this infamous law.
 In the twentieth legislature where their majority was nearly, if not quite, two-thirds of the entire body the poll tax law was passed which placed a price on the elective franchise of Ari- zona. "Oh,, it was a mistake" pay your poll tax under the law, register and vote the Rarty into power again and We will not do so any more" is their childish appeal for votes this year,
 A pertinent question to all voters who are not partisan hide bound, is, can We afford to take chances in con tinuing to vote the democratic ticket. with its record for mi ,takes?'

MYSTERY SOLVED AT LAST.

In a recent issue of the Albany, \ |. Argus there appeared an account of the discovery of a lost child by heI parents after a ceaseless search of years. Twenty-Five years ago May HuntsInger, then two years old, was stolen from the home of her parents n9ar Albany by band of gypsies camped near by. The rovers were i'm mediately suspected, but a vigorous hunt failed to reveal any trace of the child's whereabouts, though one of her shoes was found in gypsie Wa gon. Samuel Hmtsinger, the child's father, resigned his position and used all the money he had in the world trying to find the lost daughter and after p years he has succeeded. The Argus tells the story of the long-lost girl as follows:
 A month ago there came to him indirectly the story of a young woman living in Arizona who had been taken from gypsies in her early childhood. Huntsinger wrote. In his letter he told of pear shaped birthmark upon his baby Mary's right arm. A joyous letter came in reply. The young woman in Arizona had the pear-shaped mark.
 "A number of letters were exchang- ed and when identification had been fully established the happy father re- ceived the following telegram: My Darling Father: Will be home with you Tuesday. Your baby girl Mary So tomorrow Mary will be clasped in her fathers arms"

4 Suggestive Piece of Information.

Report is that Hon. \. G. Oli yer, custodian of Ft. Whipple, ha. received orders from Washington tc clean up the houses at Ft. Whipplt and that he has been industriously at work cleaning them up for several days. This is suggestive piece of news and may mean that Delegate Wilson's tireless efforts to get troops stationed at Whipple has commenced to bear fruit" Courier.
 Wonder if by the tireless efforts mentioned above is meant that law which the colonel introduced and failed to get passed, making an ap- propriation for the rehabilitation of Whipple, and the failure of which practically V vetoed the use of the S5O.- GOO available in the general appropri- ation bill? While Mir. Wilson may have made tireless efforts, those ex- erted in this direction would have been more prolific in fruit if they had never been made. An appropriation was available without the special act and failure on the part of congress to pass the special act was a strong hint to the department not to spend the money. Tireless efforts, misdirccted. are very often worse than no efforts at aI1

REMARKABLE BUT TRUE.

Senator Foraker, in a speech al Youngstown, Ohio, recently said that slavery was abolished. the union was preserved, the constitution was amended, our finances were re-estab-
 ished, specie payments were re- stunned, our credit was restored and prosperity was made universal by the republican party, not only without the help of the democratic party. but in spite of its bitter and determined opposition" At first this sounds like a somewhat extravagant assertion, but a moments reflection must show to any candid mind that it is literally true. Later on it can be said with equal truth that "thn republican party has given freedom and self-gov ernment to the inhabitants of the Philippine islands, not only without the help of the democratic party, but in spite of its bitter and determined l.. \.

The double headed ticket of the democratic party is beginning to cause alright among members Of the party as will be seen from the following ex- cerpts from few democratic papers:
 If either Wilson or Smith refuse to withdraw, for no other reason than the principle" involved, and both doubtless fully believe they are right, let them take the Prospector's advice and settle it on the flip of a coin.

4 Sad Case.

Last Monday the Sisters at the hos pital became alarmed on account of the conduct of man who had taken hack at the depot and told the driver to take him to the hospital. They telephoned the sheriff's office and two men were sent to remove him.
 Yesterday he had an examination before Probate Judge Purcell. He told rambling, disconnected story of leaving Bacoachi, Mexico, once upon time, where he has a valuable mine near those owned by the Bisbee people; that he left there with cook who, when on the desert, robbed him of Sl0,0OO and left him naked and destitute.
 For fourteen days he lived on tuna and toads. (These toads grow to large size, some of them weighing two pounds or more), and these with out water.
 He claims that he came here by the way of Nacasari, Naco, Tombstone (where he was in the hospital for two weeks), and finally got to Tucson, be- ing assisted by the county officials at Tombstone.
 He also claims that he lost his family in the Galveston flood.
 Judge Purcell withheld his decis- ion, and wrote to Prof. Douglas, of Bisbee, to see if any part of his story is true.
 He gives his name as Hiram George. He is a large man, weighing close to 200 pounds, fair complexion, light hair and mustache, the beard has been cut off. A decision in the case will be rendered in few days Star.

Wise Political Move.

The Tucson Citizen contains the
 following enthusiastic endorsement ot
 the action of the recent territorial
 republican convention, in nominating
 Governor N. O. Murphy for delegate
 to congress-: "The republican con.
 vention at PheniX yesterday stands
 out in contrast to the recent democratic
 pow WOW in many ways. It was a
 gentleman's convention all the way
 through. It was convention where courtesy ruled with justice and friend ship and loyalty went hand in hand with keen competition. There were no disgraceful scenes bordering on ! personal violence, no array of officers, no charging and counter charg- ing of opposing forces. The scene was animated but orderly, the interest intense but controlled.
 "The nomination of Governor Mur- phy for delegate shows the wisdom of the party braves. A clean and com petent administration commends him to the people, a strong personality, high courage and clean cut principles fortifies his candidacy with impregna- ble battlements. He is the man of the hour and in the hour will not be found wanting.
 Critics have sought to vilify his personal character and ruin his repu- tation but they have left untouched his official life. Whate5e of personal faults Governor Murphy may have, and it is to his credit that it may be said that he has few, they have not introduced themselves into his ad- ministration. His official record is unblemished. He has stood firmly by the highest principles of his office. He has never been either cajoled or frightened into doing what he did not think right, or what his better judge ment did not commend.
 Governor Murphy through his of 1 ticial acts has done as much for state 1. hood as any man in Arizona. He has | brought Arizona into national repute. . He has worked with untiring energy for the development of the territory. ! What he has been able to do in the . limited field of governor Is but a sign and token of what he may accomplish in the wider field of congressional del egate.
 There is in the east wholesome fear of silverism. A man to have in huence with the majority in both houses of congress must be untainted with that heresy. He must stand for he firmest principles of government, ne must be representative of the most element of the community. Governor Murphy is such man.
 ''The people of Arizona are given he choice between men who hold heir personal feelings higher than ,arty fealty and party fealty higher han national good and a man who : tands for the best there is in territo- ial life. There is little question as to he choice"

The doctor has already fitted up an office in Phenix and will en- gage in the practice of his profession there. The doctor is one of the pro gressive men of his profession, keep ing right abreast of the times with the introduction of all the new and modern appliances involved in the practice of dentistry, and in no pro fession has such rapid strides been made in the way of progress as in that of dentistry. Dr. Gonzales is not only a successful practitioner in his profession but is a popular young man socially and while Prescott re grets to lose him our loss will be PheniX's gain. May the same success attend him there as was achieved by him in Prescott is the wish of the Journal-Miner.

This constitutes defiance to Germany's demands. The Tao Tai of Shanghai, who signed for the vice roy's friendly agreement with foreign consuls, has been removed by impe- rial edict, his successor being strongly anti-foreign. An unofficial protest was made by United States Consul Goodnow to the viceroy. These facts are considered a defiance to Ger many's demand for the punishment of Prince Yuan as head of the Boxers.
