Contrary to tae impression that the

THE LOCAL SITUATION.

The action Of wells-Fargo Express.
Company in demanding gold coin from
Bisbee business men on all shipments.
and refusing to accept the certificates
and New York exchange with which
ali business in the district is being
transacted. is simply another illustra-
ton Of the little regard the express
monopoly has for local interests when
it THINKS it can dictate TO the com
n4nity.
The situation presented is partscu-
larly displeasing. because all over the
country business men are acting With
courage. wisdom and fortitude to
meet a condition that at the outset
threatened to demoralize even the ex-
press business. Only this prompt and
courageous action saved general
wreck, like that Of 1898, and It comes
with mighty poor grace for big in

purposes with the various communities

dividends.

community Il takes vast sums out
and spends very little here. its revenue
