PROLIFIC IN NEWSPAPERS.

Arizona is prolific field Tor many things and in many lines, but in the line of newspapers it seems to excel. There are more newspapers in Ari- zona according to the population than Tn any state or territo'Y, and they are increasing at the rate of about two a day. Iowa has long held the lead as to the number of newspapers accord ing to inhabitants, but the good old state must take back seat fol Ari- zona. Iowa has 0he newspaper for every i2,00O people, or did according to the last reports. Arizona has one newspaper for every 2,OOO people This shows one of two things, either that the people of Arizona are more intelligent and demand more litera- ture such as newspapers afford or that there are more men in Arizona per capita that are willing to sacrifice their time and ability for the enlight- enment of their fellow citizens than in any country oh earth. It is a good sign of progress and striking illus tration of philanthropy when men are willing to devote their time, energy and ability to diffusing knowledge for the benefit of their fellow men, without hope of reward, except a mis- erable existence which is all that most of them get.

AN IMAGINARY ISSUE.

All talk about division of the terri tory is not only so much idle wind but is liable to prove a detriment to Northern Arizona. It simply creates spirit of antagonism between the two sections of the territory without the remotest possibility of being able to accomplish the purpose were it se- riously desired. No one wants the territory divided to start in with, and to harp and rant about division even though not sincere in the matter only serves to stir up a feeling of resent ment against the section of the terri tory agitating it. There are lots of subjects affecting the interests of the territory which might be discussed with more profit to the territory gen erally than the senseless agitation of territorial division.
 For instance, a more equitable ad- justment of taxation, whereby the wealthy corporations which are taking the treasure of wealth from our soil and shipping it back east might be made to pay their just proportion of taxa tioh. An education of voters up to a higher sense of their duty that will enable them to secure a good class of legislators who will not vote the peo- ple's money away for absolutely worthless and unnecessary purposes, such, for instance as reform schools for boys, and numerous other subjects which might be mentioned.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

The Ohio Democratic convention overwhelmingly defeated proposed preamble to its platform reaffrming the Kansas City platforman and express ing continued confidence in W. J, Bryan. A plank was adopted, of course, demanding the suppression of all trusts and a return to industrial freedom. As a means to that end all trust products" it says, should be placed on the free list and the gov ernment should exercise more rigid supervision of transportation lines, and abolish, ill fact, all unjust dis eliminating rates" The convention then proceeded to nominate Col. James Kilbourne, a millionaire manu- facturer, at the head of the wheel barrow trust in Ohio, as its candidate for governor. It accuses the repub lican party with being responsible for trusts and says it cannot be de- pended upon to deal with evils of it's own creation. Rather than to trust the republican party to suppress the evils of its own creation those Ohio democrats prefer to entrust it in the hands of one of the evils created. A man who is identified with a trust know, all about it, they evidently ar que. and knowing about it should know how to deal with it.

"there is no night there" Then why wear the emblem of night in memory of friends9 Did you ever think that it is really a reflection upon them ? Besides it is an unhealthy custom And medical experts will tell you that. Really the world needs no sym bols of mourning. Nature heals and hides scars as soon as possible. Every soul knows its. own sorrows and that Is enough. 10 need to advertise them. But if the world must have a symbol of sorrow let it be white, unless the sorrow be without hope. White is the emblem of purity, White is the emblem of peace. White is the gaIb in which angels are sup posed to be pbed, White is the color of the great Throne around which we love to think our loved ones gather. White is typical of eternal day which it gives us joy to believe has dawned upon them: And surely if our loved ones could break the sil- ence of the tomb, they would bid us remember them joyfully rather than sOrrOwfullV.

A Symbol of Sorrow.

An exchange has the following very pertinent remarks concerning the commonly used emblems of mourn ing:
 Why do people hang crape on the door when a loved one takes depar- ture to "the undiscovered country from that bourne from which no traveller returns," and clothe themselves in black garments in memory of the departed loved one7 What is there about black appropriate to the occasionl Black suggests nothing sweet, or tender, or beautiful. It is not an emblem of purity or hope. It Is. symbol of night, and night in scripture, and in all literature is a symbol of danger nd despair. Night is a time when doors are bolted and windows are fastened, and when the signing of the wind and the rustling of the leaves nettle the nerves. One of the best things said about heaven is that

It is said that there are democrats alive today who are still voting for Jackson for president, In a half cen tury from now there will also be found, no doubt, meA still agitating the free silver question: At least that is the way it looks at present They do not recognize a corpse when they see it. Advocating free silver coinage now is on a par with advo- eating slavery. No matter how much one may favor either question both are dead issues beyond resurrection.
 'The noblest weapon is the sword, '' declared Emperor William recently. Maybe-but when it comes down to plain, practical business, a sawed of scatter gun is a long way ahead Gazette.
 Andrew Carnegie is reported by the New York Herald as stating that he has still 56,OOO,OOO pounds to dis tribute in public benefactions. If Andy will send about ten thousand pounds to the editor of the Journal miner we will agree to spend it as a public benefaction in publishing a newspaper. We lack just about that amount to be able to get up paper to suit the tastes of the "higher critics" of journalism, as well as to come up to our own ideal.
 A Telegram from Constantinople says that Turkey has paid the Ameri- can indemnity claim of S95, ,OOO. Lloyd Griscom by his energy and persis- tency in pressing this claim against the Sultan has earned his promotion as minister to Persia.
 The Phenix Enterprise, in a spirit of irony, remarks: ''Col. Roosevelt has been heard from at last" It is not the first time Col. Roosevelt has been heard from and it will not be the last. Democracy will hear from him in the future.
 It would be interesting to some men who put their good money into Cobre Grande stock, and who were left out in the cold to find out just how much that compromise of last December cost. Hallenborg's attor- neys allege in their complaint that several thousand dollars worth of stock and several thousand dollars in money were paid in the way of bonuses to bring it about, and now Mir. Woods says there is Sl00,000 due him for his services in working up the compromise.
 If Governor Murphy has read our morning contemporary of today's is- sued, he will no doubt employ its edi- tor to give him lessons in official eti- quette. Some people make themselves ridiculous, at times, by criticisms of things of which they know nothing about.
