As far as the Democrats have spoken in convention this year it Is plain that the sentiment of the party favors sil- ence on the question of the two plat forms on which MT. Bryan ran for
 president While the Chicago and Kansas City platforms contained dec larations of the great and everlasting principles on which tho Democratic party was built, still the doctrine of full and unlimited coinage of silver was the distinctive feature of each and any reference to them now can only be construed as . re-an1rmstion of an issue which is not dominant in the public mind. but on the other hand has been discarded as a question Of no great importance during the present The Democrats of the have evidently made up their minds to go to battle once more with the question of tarin reform for their bttle cry and are unwilling to carry any dead weight in the coming fight against the trusts and high protective triff.

PENSIONS FOR
 Ex-coNFEDERATEs.

Among the bills rushed through in the closing hours of Congress was one introduced by Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, providing that those Confederate veterans who enlisted and served in the Federal Army prior to January 1, 1865, shall be eligible to receive pensions from the United States government. When this matter was brought up before Commissioner of Pensions Evans several years ago he ruled that the men in this class were not questionable.
 By the passage of this bill about s. 000. 900 in pensions will be disbursed in North Carolina and Tennessee. At the time of the war there were many northern sympathizers who were forced into the Confederate ranks, but who afterward deserted and joined the Union army.
 There is another clause in the bill which is also likely to be far-reaching in it's effects. This clause provides that where a soldier has deserted from the United States army and has subsequently re-enlisted and been granted an honorable discharge his former desertion shall not initiate against his eligibility to receive pen

The Bisbee merchants must have a board of trade. Much can be accom- plished by such an organization and it should be provided without delay. One of the important matters tO which the merchants and business men of Bis bee should give close attention is the cultivation of friendly feeling for our city in Sonora The Sonora trade is an important one for this city. Much of it comes here now. but more of it could be brought hero by ener- getic effort.

sion. By this clause a man may have deserted any number of times, yet if he succeeds in getting into the service and out of it again with an honorable discharge the slate is wiped clean and he is eligible to be placed on the pen sion rolls. There were 1O7 900 deser- tions during the civil war. and it is es- timated that this clause in Senator Pritchrds bill will add $1.000. 900 yearly to the pension account.

The mining industry continues to supply the surest business life in Ariz- ona. The present drouth has serious ly injured the cattle and agricultural industries. The great mining camps have not been disturbed in their pro duction, though prospecting in the hills has been interfered with to some extent.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM FOR LOS ANGELES.


 The city of Los Angeles will very
 likely have an opportunity to endorse
 and incorporate into it's system of government the initiative and referen-
 dunn principle or reject and turn it down. The last board of freeholders
 in that city recommended this princi-
 pie of government and now the com
 mittee of the city council. on charter
 revision. has adopted the principles
 of direct legislation. The principles recommended for embodiment in the
 new Los Angeles charter are as fol
 lows:
 THE INITIATIvE-Upon presenta- ton of . petition signed by IS per cent. of the voters, asking that an ordinance be submitted to the vote of the people at . special election, the council may pass the ordinance. or must call a special election within fif- teen days from the presentation of the petition. It will require 8 petition of only 5 per cent for a request that an ordinance be submitted at the next municipal election.
 THE REFERENDUM-No ordi. nance. except in certain contingencies duly provided for, shall go into effect before thirty days from. the time of it's final passage, and if during that in- terim a petition sgued by per cent. of the voters be presented. the ordin- ance shall be suspended, until repeal ed by the council or acted upon by the people at special or general election. as the council may see fit
 THE RECAL-The holder of any elective ofice may be removed after a petition has been signed by 25 per cent of electors by a special election held not less than thirty days after a certificate of the qualifications of the petitioners has been filed. In any such elecion the ofIicer sought to be removed shall be candidate to sue ceed himself, unless he requests other wise, and the candidate receiving the highest number of votes shall be elect | ed.
 The Herald says there is nothing in the proposed legislation as outlined | that any honest ofncial need fear or that any thoughtful citizen will seri- | ously obect to. The majority of the | people are given the right to initiate to veto oblactionable ordin- ances and to remove . dishonest ofa- :ial. If the people are given the re- of a more direct hand in affairs. they may be trusted to use 1t faithfully and wisely. and the l result should be a much moro satis- | ,.>cc..ory con;:..::o.. :; civlc affairs.

ROOSEVELT AND THE TRUsrs.

The news coming from Washington
 that President Roosevelt intends to
 force legislation during the short ses.
 sion that will curb the unbridled d.
 vance of the trusts. which threaten
 great injury to the country's industrial
 interests. will not be accepted = .
 guarantee that any remedial legisla- ton will be placed in the statute books so long as the present leaders of the republican party are in control. The trusts have . friend in Mark Hanna and Mark Hanna's influence. when it comes to shaping legislation, is greater than that of the president.
 Ar. Roosevelt's inability to carry out his promises. so far as legislation is concerned. has just been emphasized by the failure of the Cuban reciproci- ty bill to pass the senate. This was the pet measure of the administration and one endorsed by the great mass of the people of the country. It was . matter of simple justice to strug- gling young republic whose citizens had the word of both President Mo Kinley and President Roosevelt that they would receive the encouragement and assistance of the United States. The reason for defeating this just measure was none other than the de- termination of the trusts. which have been born and bred by the Republican system or high tariff, that there should be no "tinkering with the tariff," even to the extent of giving helping hand to the weak and tottering Cubans.
 When Prsident Roosevelt places his proposed laws against the trusts into the legislative hopper he will find that there is something wrong with the motive power, just as he did when his Cuban bill failed to come through.
 President Roosevelt was not so ac- tive in his demand for trust legisla- ton before congress adjourned. His recent outspoken determination to pass trust laws at the coming short session will neither alarm the trusts nor create any hope in the public | mind that deliverance from the trust monster is near at hand. What does the President expect to do with the l same senate that strangled his Cuban l reciprocity bill?
 This big talk against the trusts may | be indulged in to allay the public in- dignAtion against the iniquities which l have grown up under the high tarin | of the Republican party, but if that is its purpose it will fail.
 The only sure remedy for ::..e trust evil is to remove the cause of their ex- istence and remove the prop which is now sustaining them. If President Roosevelt really wants to curb the trusts and afford relief from theii ra- pacity and greed. he should join the Democrats in their demand for tariff reform.
