Tombstone Visitor.
H. R. Fry, who for a number of
years, was located at Charleston,
where he was engaged in working
over the old tailings of the smelter
at that point, was in the city on Sun
day from Lordsburg, where he is at
present located in the mining business.
Mr.. Fry is a staunch Democrat, and
while in this county took an active
part in the success of the Democra
cy. He was delegate on several oc-
.casiOns to the county convention. Mr..
Fry states that the nomination of
Bull Andrews, as the Republican
candidate for Delegate to congress
from New Mexico, means that the
Democrats of that territory will car
ry the fail elections by a good ma
jority.
From Graham County.
Lamar Cobb, prominent Graham
county citizen. was in the city on
Saturday on his way from Clifton TO
Gleason, where he goes to do some
extensive work for the Shannon Cop
per company, on the claims that were

by that company. Mr.. Cobb states
that Graham county will this fall give
the Democratic ticket in that county
the largest majority that it has had
for years and that Mark Smith will
carry the county by the largest ma
jority in its history.

A Paradise resident would naturally

In the vicinity of this place the range
is now in excellent condition, the
grass, which is everywhere, being
from twelve to eighteen or twenty
inches in height. Ranger Averett
states that the Big Bend country, on
the southwestern edge of the reserve,
has been even more favored than Para
disc being truly a meadow. The ex-
cessive rainfall there is doubtless ac-
counted for by the fact that the Big
Bend is narrow valley lying between
the Chiricahua and Swisshelm noun
tains, by which its climate is infiu-
enced.

In answer, it is enough to note:
That if the cost of permanent i'm
provements had been originally dis
tributed through several genera
tions, as it should have been, it
would not be time now to take
breath; that the present District
debt is probably the smallest among
the first 100 cities Of the Union;
that the possible embarrassment of
future committees is almost an in
objection when viewed
in the light of the acceptance by
those committees of responsibility
for the District financial welfare,
and the practically UNMARRIED prac-
tice of other municipalities to order
their expenses in the manner indi-
Gated.

Work for the District to Do.

Chairman Gardner, of the House
subcommittee on District appropria-
tons, made good last night to the
Board of TRACE. In cIearness. un-
derstanding of his subject, lack of
prejudice, and frankness, his exposi-
ton of the pending appropriation
act could hardly be surpassed. But
it does not follow that the conclu-
siOnS of his committeeman are for
that reason unassailable. On the
contrary, he made it perfectly plain
that the District must correct the
understanding of his committee if
1t is to tighten its present burdens.
The committee was afraid, he
said, to segregate current from ex-
traordinary expenditures for these
reasons: That it was time to take
breath; that the District funded
debt of S11,O0O,0OO and unfunded
debt of 100000 were already large
enough; that the creation Of a

An Unofficial Envoy.

No ambassador is received at for
eign courts with a more respectful
welcome than that accorded an
American who holds no public Office
whatsoever. We mean Mr.. J. Pier
pont Morgan, who entertained two
queens At his home in London re-
Gently, and who has just been re-
ceived as persona grs tissima at both
the Vatican and the QuirinaI in
Rome. Dignitaries Of church and
state cut red tape and throw open
the doors. Processes and prince
lings run to the windows and the
guards line up as for the reception
of one of the anointed heads.
An impressive spectacle! Dema-
gogues may rant, but the silent man
of Wall Street goes his way. now

convention TO share his specia;
train and temporary mansion with
him, now fatnering an asylum

and the unfortunate, now endowing

tanning 10 the golden days of the
Middle Ages.
Two Morgan there are, one the
financier, shrewd, bold, aggressive,
and the other the rounded man of
the world, the princely patron of
charities and the fine arts. It is
easy TO criticise, but very often the
critics see only one side of the pic
ture. King and Pontiff are expert
enced enough TO see both sides. Not

Morgan, spend their money wisely
and beneficently. Otherwise 'twould
