Democracy has already in store the
Doctrines for which il fights its sue
cessful battles; and II will have them
in store as long as the people are kept
from their own, and Just SO long as
their rights and interests are sacrificed
by favoritism in Government care-by
inequality in Government burdcns-by
the encouragement OF huge industrial
aggregations that throttle individual
enterprisc-by the reckless waste Of
public money, and by the greatest OF
all injuries. as il underlies nearly all
others, a system Of tariff taxation whose
robbing exactions are far beyond the
needs of economical and legitimate Gov
ernment xpenditure-which now pur-
chases support BY appeals to sordidness
and greed, and which continually cor
rupts the public conscience.
what but infatuation with the visage
OF defeat can explain the subordination
OF these things by Democrats when they
prepare for battle?
IF We are to have n rehabilitation
and realiTnment Of Cur party in the

SALE or OTTER ROCKS
Delayed Pending vacation OF Attachments
on Claims Against A.. ID. Hilton.

A despatch from Greenwich, Conn, yes
terday said hat the agreement for the
transfer of otter Rocks. Col. A. b. Hilton's
Belle Haven place. TO John l.. Elliott OF this
city seemed to have fallen through because
Henry G., Hilton did not release an attach
ment he had levied against the property
in a suit for $40, 900 for the conversion of
valuable paintings and bric-a-brac.
Franklin Bartlett, ounse for Col Hilton,
said that this report was incorrect.
The transfer Of the property" he said,
has simply been delayed because Henry
G.. Hilton objected TO allowing the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Company of
Baltimore to furnish the bono with a view
of vacating the attachment. One or two
smaller attachments ave been levied
against the property. An old servant
named Anderson claims abou 5000 for
services rendered, and a painter has at
tached the property for a small bill.
when the offer Of the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Company TO furnish
bonds for vacating these attachments was
made known Mr.. Hilton objected. and now
the conpan will be obliged to demonstrate
its ~solvency before the Superior Court at
Bridgeport. 1t is. of course, a vexatious
delay, but will not interfere with the sale
of the property

ing the bogus tickets. Robert Cahill. a

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 25.-W. j. Bryan.
who came 10 Columbus az a guest Of Col
James K%ilboune. spent the greater part OF
yesterday comforting with Democratic
leaders Of Ohio regarding the future Of

is to o~ficiate as a national adviser to the
party.

Democratic members of the General As
s4mbly and the recognized leaders of each
wing Of the party. The object was 10 give

gest hat he take up similar schemes with

Her Many Wooden Feet.

A Mount Airy woman who is entertaining a couple of New York girls was very much sur prised yesterday morning when her colored maid, who was la boring under great excitement, came to her and said: "Mrs. S., did you know dat Miss Dolly had wooden feet?"
 "Wooden feet" exclaimed the hostess, "what in the world are you talking about? Of course she hasn't wooden feet"
 "Yes'm, she has," insisted the colored girl. "She's done got five or six, am she jes' screws 'em on an. off whenever she wants to put on anoder pair O shoes. 1 seen lem dis mawnin' when was hXln' up her room. Come, an I'll show you"
 Rather mystified to know what the girl was driving at, her mis- tress followed her to the room occupied by Miss Dolly.

Mark Smith was evidently not in sympathy with the work of the committee and did not take an active part Tn their reception or Investigations, either at Phoe- nix or Tucson. He distinguished himself in hls own city by refus- ing to accompany the committee further, giving in his personal organ as a reason for his action the fact that the editor of the Wilson paper was given a seat on the special. Smith is SUD- posed to be the public servant of the people of Arizona, and his action at this time is the cause of no little criticism.

The United States senate sut

The United States senate sub
 committee on territories visited
 a very small portion of Arizona
 last week for the ostensible pur-
 pose of Investigating the merits
 of the territory's claims for
 statehood. The committee first stopped at Prescott for a few hours, then went to Phoenix, from there to Tucson and thence to Bisbee. Altogether they were within the boundaries of the territory three days, and the most they saw was from the car windows. The idea that more than the faintest conception of ArizOna's greatness could be gained by such a cursory exami
 nation is too ridiculous to talk about. The indications are, too, that the distinguished gentlemen were on the lookout for evl- dence upon which to base an adverse report almost as keenly as for evidence justifying our admission. However, we will soon know all about it. Congress convenes on the 2nd of Decem- Der and the omnibus bill is one of the first measures to be con sidered by the senate. While we hope that Arizona may be admitted, we confess to a feeling of doubt that the happy event will take place during the com ing short session.

THE RESOLUTIONS ALL RIGHT

Upon the recent visit of the United States senate sub-com- mittee on territories to Tucson, a set of resolutions adopted by the Arizona Pioneer society was presented to the committee for it's consideration, by $. R. Be Long, president of the society. The resolutions declare strongly for statehood, but urge an amendment of the Arizona sec tion of the omnibus statehood bill, increasing the constitutional covention from thirty-six to six ty, to be apportioned to the sev- eral counties on the basis of the last United States census, and the chief justice and secretary of the territory to apportion the delegates in place of the unjust apportionment in the present bill. More time is asked from the date of the passage of the bill to the election of delegates and the holding of the constitu- tional convention, and four months after the date of adjourn ment of the convention before the submission of the constitu- ton to the electors for ratifica- tiOn.
 These resolutions have been severely criticized by certain newspapers, but we think the criticism is unjust, and hope to see the omnibus bill amended as suggested. There is nothing asked for in the resolutions that is not based on fairness and justice and the Sentinel here with endorses them.

Government Work Near Needles

The possibilities of the great

 coming a valuable agricultural section has been for years casu
 ally mentioned by the few peo-
 pie who have been compelled to
 travel through it, says the Nee
 dies Eye, but not until the pres
 ent time has any great amount of interest been taken by our To- cal citizens. The probability of an appropriation for government work to place the land under ir
 rigation has brought the value of this acreage very forcibly to the minds of our people and a number of them are looking the ground over for desirable loca- tions. It is presumed that all can get desirable locations, as there are 5O,0O0 acres of irriga- ble land above high water mark between Mellen and Ft. Mohave. Sould even small proportion of this land be placed under irriga- ton and made productive it would mean a vast increase in property values, and by the cheapening of agricultural pro- ducts in the district would assist | greatly in the maintenance of 1 our mining camps as we'll as en- hancing our population.
