DELEGATES WILL LEAVE
 FORPRESCOTT
This Afternoon to Attend the Democratic Territorial Con- vention to Be Held There on Saturday-TucsOn Special.

Secretary R. S. Maclay has been in correspondence with all the delegates selected 10 represent Cochise county in the territorial convention which will meet in Prescott Saturday. Mir Mac ay. is secretary of the county democratic central comimttee and when he notified the forty-seyen dele gates of their appointment he aIso asked whether it would be possible for them to attend. Replies received indicate that probably more than half of the delegates will attend in person. It is expected that Bisbee vii send ten delegates, Lowell two, Tombstone six, Naco one, and from Douglas it is hoped that at least five of the eleven will go to Prescott
 Those who go will have to leave this afternoon. At Tucson special Pullman accommodations will be pro. vided for the delegates from Gila, Gra- ham, Cochise and Santa Cruz coun- ties. Here it is expected that Hon Mark Smith, accompanied by the Pima county delegation, will join the south ern delegates.
 The delegates vii arrive in Phoe- nix early Friday morning and will make close connection there for Pres colt where they will arrive in the af ternoon.
 It was announced from Solomonyille last week that every man of the twen- ty-two de egates from that county would go to Prescott Tombstone in this county, was given six of the for ty seven delegates, and according to information they will all be present in the territorial convention.
 It is expected that the convention next Saturday will be the largest ever convened in the territory ard this in face of the fact that there is practical " no contest as to who shall be the nominee of the convention. The out pouring of democracy on this occa sion will demonstrate that the party is full of enthusiasm this year in an ticipation of victory all along the line, from president to the least of the county offices. It also shows with what fidelity the democrats of the ter ritory are giving theIr support to Mark Smith.

ore of the richness described by Britt and on many of the claims there was no ore at all There was really noth- ing for the shelter to do.
 The only relief Mitchell asked at the time was for the return of his stock in exchange for which he would turn the deeds back to Hammons
 It was found that of the Mitchell Mining company stock Hammons had received only 5000 shares from Britt; {; 5000 shares had been put into tae Globe National bank as collateral for loans to Britt and no accounting has been made or is mentioned in the com piaint regarding the rest of the stock.
 Mitchell applied for and was granted a temporary injunction against Britt, Hammons and the bank restraining them from disposing of the stock to any other than the plaintiff
 When the matter came up for trial who was really the only wit ness for the plaintiff was sick at Los Nobody else of the Mitchell Mining company knew anything about the deal with Britt. An effors was made by the. attorneys for the plaintiff to secure 8 continuance on the ground of the illness of Mitchell. The motion for continuance was denied and the case went to trial on the deposition of Mitchell
 One point offered by the defense was the. negligence of Mitchell and an- other was the irresponsibility of Ham mons for the acts of Britt. As to the bank it was stated that the loan had been made to BIdtt at the request of the Arizona National Bank of Tucson. The demurrer of the bank to the com oiaint was sustained and on the trial he injunction was dismissed as to -Iammons.
 From these orders the appeal was azen.

WHAT Is CHRISTIANITY?

Ask any number of persons the ques
ton suggested by the caption hereof
and you will soon discover that it is
an unsolved riddle, an unanswerable
conundrum
Ask the preachers of the different
Christian sects what it takes to be a
Christian and you are confronted with
precisely similar conditions for no two,
being of different sectarian tendencies
and beliefs, can possibly give the same
or even a similar answer.
Only few years ago the people were
taught that the first essential was an
implicit and unreasoning faith in the
existence of a tribal deity of an ignor-
ant and barbarous nation, for be it
known that some of the different tribes
of Israel worshipped other deities than
Jehovah and so we have it that the

From this it would appear that the
breaking of his chains is no mere wllim
or fancy, but the result of patient
study and investigation More than
that, as he declares, it has resulted
from a persistent study Of the Bible,
and this corroborateS the utterance of

Like Mr.. Babcock others have longed
for an opportunity to "speak out" and
to "overstep the barriers" but now
that he has done so let him assert the
independence. due to his manhood and
break away from all mental restraints
by resolving to tell the truth and to
ask no mans consent thereto.
Reader Reflect upon what Babcock
says. The most important part of his
statement is that where he says
"The doctrinal and ecclesiastical
system, the mode of thought and
method of action of the church, are UNI
adapted to the modern mind and
modern needs.
1t is impossible to present stronger
argument against the church and in
favor of Freethought. 1t presents the
sum of human intelligence. 1t is based
on fact. The modern mind has out.
grown the doctrinal and ecclesiastical
systems. Modern needs demand COM
plete reaction. They demand the aboli
ton of theological systems, or their
removal from the sphere of active life
to position where they are incapable
of harm. They have combined to re
tard humanity, to check progress and
warp human knowledge. They have
been a black cloud obscuring the light.
Remove the cloud and the light will
pour its benefcient beams upon men in
all it's strength.

that the Christian myth was wrong,
asking for permission of any other man
that he might be allowed to tell the
truth. If the Reverend gentleman is
satisfied, intellectually, concerning his
positions, why not manifest courage
sufficient to venture into the world and
preach those truths without asking
anybody's consent? If he has truth,
and knowing it, his pam duty is t.,
preach it irrespective Of consequences
to himself. The people are demandlng
truth. They are hungry FOR it. They
are satiated with the stale platitudes
of orthodoxy Men with truth have no
business standing within the stove
warmth of the churches Their place is
outside, in the keen, bracing air, where
the champions Of truth are ever TO be
found
Freethinkers will be gratified to
know that in his remuneration of the
Christian form of faith he assaled both
the Catholic and Protestant churches,
and declared that he could no longer
accept the biblical account of the crea-
ton, essentially primary Christian
teaching, because that account was in
direct conflict with geology and biology
and that his mind had been compelled
to accept the latter, there being no
alternative.
Gould we properly analyze the minds
of half the preachers in America to-
day, of any or all denominations, it is
extremely probable that similar doubts
concerning biblical chronology and
creation would be found. If this is
true then all such preachers are dis
honest with their congregations, dis
honest with themselves, and untrue to
their trust. Under such circumstances
and conditions they are knowingly
teaching what they do not believe
themselves. What is this but breach
of trust? IL may be a mental trust
but the breach is just as great as if it
were physical trust. One by one,
however, the preachers, are facing the
dawn. On this point let us quote from
Mr.. Babcock. He says
"Why, have you any idea of the
number of ministers who long for an
opportunity to speaa, out and overstep
the barriers that have been placed
about them. For twenty years l have
thought and studied the Bible and

SOu VI IHe DlDle, IHe SOu WHO'LL
Christians profess to worship today
was the god of Abraham, Of Isaac and
of Jacob. And why was description
necessary? That the succeeding gener-
ations of that particular tribe should
not depart therefrom and undertake to
worship such deities as Baal, Ashtoreth
and Aloloch. And was it not this same
tribal deity who is attributed with
ordering the butchery of $4,000 Jews
for the senseless act of dancing about
golden calf; who started the Ethiopian
race because old Noah got drunk and
under the soporifc influence of the
nectar made an exhibition of himself;
and who delighted in the terpsichorean
act of David before the ark of the
covenant, minus clothing. Stripped of
all its credal trimmings this is Chris
tianity, and according to the teachings
of the elect, an implicit belief in such
things must be confessed or the baptism
in the blood of the lamb will be I'M
, awaiting.
What is Christianity
Who knowsY
1t would be folly to attempt an an
swer, to offer an explanation, for no
answer could satisfy, no explanation
explain.
At best it is all matter of specula-
ton and these are as various and con-
flicting as there are nations and indi-
viduals. There are hundreds of Poly
demonistic religions among savage
peoples that can claim a close kinship
with that passing under the guise of
Christianity. There are numberless
polytheistc religions, including those
that worship man-like being called
god, and all, combined have produced
a bewildering compleXity of religious
cults from which no clear conception
can be drawn. In their statistical ratio
it is claimed there are six hundred
million Buddhists, about four hundred
millions of so-called Christians, two
hundred millions of Mohammedans and
nearly as many Brahmanists. While
the cults that are distinguished from
that of the Christian brand are, as a
rule, almost a unit in their beliefs, the
Christians are split into warning sects,
creating divisions and subdivisions be-
tween which there is scarcely one fact
of solitary agreement. These Christian
sects are constantly increasing and the
divergence grows wider every day. In
the face of such condition is there one
in the wide, wide world who can salts
factorily answer the question:
What is Christianity
We must read in the answer in the
stars?

DUE TO RAIN.
Business During Past Week Has Been
Quiet.

New York, July 4.-Bradstreet's
says:
1t has been a very quiet week in
trade and ndustry-holiday observ-
ances and semiannual stock taking
giving a quiet appearance to most
lines. In addition to California, trade,
northwest and southwest has felt the
influence of rainy weather on city and
country trade. Points where weather
has favored a reduction of sales at re-
tail rather earlier than usual in the
year have made for some activity in
summer goods, but collections as a
whole have been slow. Jobbing trade
has been of a filling-in character and
whosesale trade is still of a conserva-
tive character awaiting the out-turn of
the crops and political events. July
was set as a unemployment day and
many thousands of hands were set at
work, notably in car shops and ma
chinery lines; but on the other hand
print cloth production was curtailed,
many glass works are reported to have
shut down and the idleness due to the
midsummer inventory period has
rather robbed the resumption of work
at many points of it's imposing char
acter.
While there is some increase in traffic,
the crop movement has not vet begun
and lake traffic is reported quiet, with
many ships tied up and thousands of
their operatives idle. The demand for
iron is slightly more active at the east.
but prices are If anything rather
weaker. Finished lines in the Pitts
burg district are still running at about
so per cent capacity. There is con-
tinuance of better feeling as to the
future, leading cotton goods houses
advise purchases on the ground that
cotton goods are at the bottom. the
leather trades are firm at recent ad-
vances. western wool men are asking
higher prices for their clip and the
lumber trades are rather firmer. For
eign trade is quiet, exports of cereals
are very light, wheat being down to
the lowest of the year and corn ex-
ports being the smallest recorded.
