How It Warned Captain Ezra

It was cold night. The wind was blowing gale and driving a fine snow which cut the face and blinded the pedestrian. The vessels tied up at wharf looked bleak and cheer less; but they were very comfortable under matches. In the cabin of the schooner Emily Parsons a brisk fire was burning in the round stove, and the odor of tobacco so appetizing to those who like it scented the air. Capt. Ezra Parsons, in a comfortable chair, with his feet upon the stove fender, was pulling upon villainous looking pipe, while reclining upon one of the hunks which lined the cabin was Seth Jenkins, and half a dozen members of the crew were distributed about the little room.
 Kind O snug here" said Seth Jen- kins with a grunt of content. Just the same I wouldn't like to be outside the bay in this"

The commercial bodies of Arizona were never more active than at the Iresent time and this fact may be safely taken as sign of unusual pros perity in every section of the terri tory. Only through organization of this kind can the many resources of Arizona be made better known to the outside world and the more determi- nation that is put into this publicity work the greater will be the future of our mining, cattle, agricultural, sheep and other industries, and the sooner will the population of the ter ritory be increased. It is only re- gently that the commercial bodies of Cochise county have awakened and beccme active in the fIrtherahce of the purposes of their organization. In ne other county in the territory can be found more attractive undcveloped resources to exploit as a means of inducing the honeseekers and capital ists to come here for settlement and investment. The Bisbee board of trade and the Douglas chamber of commerce and mines have started a great work and it is the duty of the business men and property owners of both these cities to lend their hearty support to the efforts being made for the, continued progress of this, the richest and most resourceful county ia Arizona

rnE eRgAr SUCCESSION.

History presents no more remark able line of rulers than the success sive presidents Of our republic, says the Hartford Times Beginning with the august figure of Washington and punctuated wita the name of such distinguished men as Jefferson, Jack son, Cleveland. and--"greatest of all' Lincoln. it averages dignity and ability far above any list of kings or emperors.
 Pericles. the Athenian statesman was perhaps the superior of any one of our presidents in culture joined to general ability. and Julius Caesar was cast in a larger mold than Wash ins ton or Lincoln. but those were the Exceptional men of antiquity, and their colleagues and successors were, as a rule, far inferior.
 Our presidency has never been dis graced by men like Tiberius or Nero. Of the English kings, Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror. Ed ward I, and possibly Henry V are the only men who could come into compe- tion, and we have never fallen so low as to even nominate men of the level of Henry VIII Or the Georges.
 Of the French kings. Henry " is the only one who would have been considered by either party, though Louis XI would have made a great politician. Of the rest, including Louis Napoleon, the less that is said the better The line of presidents of the French republic is toe short to afford material for comparison, and the tendency of the French seems to be to select conservative, safe men rather than striking characters. It is striking testimony to the average good sense and sound morals of the American people that they have nev- CT chosen a man of evil life nor of empty head, and only once a man of violent and unreasonable temper, for Jackson, though strong-willed, was ar bitrary on the great questions where he was cUnyinced-as we are now that he was right.

 We believe with an exchange that these truths are self-eyident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with cer- tain unalienable rights; that among these are life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness: that to secure these rights (not to provide offices or pen sion political heelers or encourage craft, graft and pantaloonacy. but to secure these rights) governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the gov erned; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the peo- pie to alter or to abolish it and to in stitute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to ef- feet their safety and happiness.
 The people of the United States have never found it necessary to ex- ercise their right of abolishing the present system of government, but they have retained and maintained and used the right to alter it from time to time,> and are about to alter it again, by substituting for the ruin ous reign of Pantaloonacy, Plutocracy and Privilege a restoration of the first principles Of Americanism. The sooner all our contemporaries fanlil- iarize themselves with these princi. ples the better it will be for them in the times near at hand, and they won't feel so lonesome. strange. maroon'd and mock'd of fate when the Star Spangled Banner again be- comes the glorious symbol of Ameri- can liberty and happiness and again guarantees the greatest good for the greatest number. a square deal and a all, privileges for none and childhood for the children. Democracy will yet rescue two million little Americans from the grasp of republican greed and restore to them their rights, and will revive and reassert Americanism in spite of the morbid mumblings of wilderness of lean and slipper'd pantaloons, sans eyes, sans teeth, sans everything, and especially sans common sense.
