cial session today, following call by
Governor Glenn. The purpose of the
session is to change the railroad rate

He also recommends that in freight
rates the larger rate be allowed in
dependent roads in the state with a
length of one hundred miles or less.
The governor transmitted in Sec
ond special message, petition from
200 conductors, representing the Or
der of Railway Conductors, who wait

The Seabard Air line receivers and
President Garrett, of that road, today

When it was seen that after the

who might not have been supposed to

cred that considerable amount of
the borrowed cash was being realized
on at premium in currency by
brokers' Offices; also that high-rate
loans were being made with much of
the money obtained from them on
policy loans, to get which they had

 There are about l5 men working at the Santa Rita gold property and MT. Ketchum expects to increase the force after the end of the current month. He feels confident of getting the bat tery of milling stamps going on Sept ember l which fact will demonstrate the necessity of adding to the force.

 Near the Santa Ritas is the Monto- sa Mining company, of which Samuel Hazlehurst Is secretary and treasurer.

Old kentuck Mine.

John Strohle and Robert Doll, who with Sheriff Jack White of Oochise county, owns the Old Kentuck mine, near Cave Creek, have just received assays from several samples of ore from the bottom of 50 foot shaft, which shows the ore to run $98 per ton in gold. The Phoenix Democratic says that for some time the owners have had small force of men work ing on the property, and as depth has been gained the gold bearing ledge has gradually increased in richness.
 As result of tho high assays just made, the owners are making plant to increase the working force and will install machinery just as soon as there is enough ore in sight to justify a mill of some kind to reduce the ore. The shaft in which the high grade ore has been found. was sunk through good ore all the way, and indications are that the vein is large one.

Why lie Supports Bryan.

The Staatz Zeitung of New York, one of the wealthiest papers in this country. and by great odds the most influential German paper published in the United States, is supporting Bryan and Kern. Herman Ridder, head of the Staatz Zeitung, is in Los Angeles, and he told reporter ia that city, Friday, that he believes MT. Bryan ! will be elected ia November. After saying that he supports MT. Bryan because he stands for tariff reform, MT. Ridder says:
 "The present tariff makes it impos- sible for the average mechanic to sup port hIs family properly and save any money. The tariff has SO increased prices that the people of humble means have no chance to acquire.
 My position is that our interest in the plain people demands change in the administration. The democratic party stands for tariff reform, the re- publican party for the present con- dition of the tariff.
 ''So It seems to my view that tho only hope is in the election of a demo- cratic president.
 ''There is only one issue this cam paign, the tariff, the democracy stands for it's reduction, the republicans for it's maintenance, so the voters muth recognize this and make their choice.
 "There is nothing to the talk about the democracy not standing for large navy; it does. for everyone recognizes that we must have a large navy to protect the Pacific coast.
 "No, I do not think that the Amer. ican people are alighIng themselves for or against extreme conservatism or radicalism. What ills we suffer from are due to the high imposts of the tariffs, and the trusts fatten and the people suffer. as result. Trusts and high tariffs are twins of evil creation. When you destroy the fos- tering of the trusts by the tariff you destroy the power of the trusts."

A Double Traitor.

It is not often given a man to, by a single act, prove himself traitor to two causes which he has protested to champion, yet this evil eminence has been achieved by the Hon. William Randolph Hearst and incidentally. by the independence league journals. for whose publication he is supposed to be responsible.
 In an editorial appearing in Mir. Hearst's papers, accusing the demo- cratic party and it's leader, MT. Bryan, of receiving from "the interests" 6 sum of money. which, it appears. was never received from anyone. MT. Hearst showed his treachery to the deBoeratic party.
 In the same editorial. by a scandal ous and shameful reference to MT. Gompers, the great labor leader, in which he accuses him of being "the man of MT. Belmont" MT. Hearst has also shown his treachery to the cause of labor, of which he and his papers have always claimed to be the especial and devoted champions-Los Angeles Herald.
