The market is very much like Pa

Dealers, exporters, spectators are 81
lentlv waiting the catch 10y which to
guage their prices. From our private
advices the ran OF salmon does not av-
eragc over from eight to twelve fish a
boat When at Astoria, the run is
heavy, farther up the river the run is
light, and when light at Astoria, farther
up is heavy Alta certain stage OF tide,
the majority of the fisherman stay out
from thirty-siN to fifty hours, SO as to
take advantage of the better run; then
of course they catch large number
which is herllded forth without the eN-
PLANTATION of its being two days catch.
These same fisherman lay by one or two
days fixing nets and regaining lost
sleep. We hold that no one can predict
what the seasons canning will be, as
there is nothing SO uncertain as salmon
canning.


Canncrymen down the river are all
very busy canning their shipments are
more than seasons up to this time, but
we are inclined to think the number
canned is more than last season for a

Two weeks ago, our readers were in formed that the next and future pub iicstiou of THE CITIZEN would be in Tucson. Owing to the distance 10 re- move so much material which is easily thrown into confusion, we could not positively state the day of our next is- sue. The removal was made promptly and successfully, and last Saturday a brief circular was printed and dis iributsd in Tucson, announcing our purpose to issue TIE CITIZEN today and each succeeding Saturday until business should warrant a more fire quent issue.

 Tucson was bound to have, ere long, another paper, and as business prop osition, we occupied the field. It is our purpose to serve the best interests of Pima county first and next those of the Territory. If we do this well-and we shall try hard to do it-our patron age will be abundant We shall avoid petty controversies and ss far as pos sible i'll our columns with matter af- fecting the leading interests and re- sources of the County and the Territo- ". To this end we cordially invite miners, farmers, gardeners, fruit rais- CTS, stock growers. railway promoters, merchants, mechanics and professional men to personally or in writing com municate with us on subjects they would like to have publicly discussed or mentioned. Given a little aid from them in the way of communications or hints on subjects of importance, we'll be greatly helped in making a useful and generally satisfactory paper. That we'll please everybody is not expect ed; no paper can or ought to do that. If men were all just and reasonable, committing no crimes or wrongs against society, newspaper might do the otherwise impossible thing of pleasing everybody. Under our charge THE CITIZEN will not engage in con- iroversy with men or Journalists who purposely mIsrepresent our motives and actions. Differences of opinion and an honorable and dignified dis cussion of them, we would welcome as tending to promote the best interests of men and society.

 THE CITIZEN will not be a partisan sheet, that is not Republican nor Demo cratic in tone. Partisan politics is a secondary or quite remote considera tiOn with the most energetic and useful men in 8 new country whose natural resources must be developed and made available in building up satisfactory homes. Whatever support we give to men in office or seeking office, will be given because we have faith in their integrity, ability and purpose to be honestly useful, and not at all because they belong 10 this or that party or faction.

 Here is our first paper in Tucson, and with our earnest desire to merit a liberal support, and a friendly greet  ing to the people of Tucson and Pima county in particular, we hopefully enter upoz our arduOus labor among you

WASHINGTON, December g. The
Democratic plan Of the campaign
against the Blaine resolution is now
very we'll matured. At the recent
caucus, Senator Thurman took the po-
sition that it would be better for the
senators representing the Southern
section of the country to oppose the
resolution in order, and that after this
there should be free fight, in which
all the Democratic senators should
take part. This idea wrs generally ac-
cepted, until Senator Lamar opposed
it in caucus. He doubted whether it
would be possible for the Democrats
to pursue such a policy, because the
Radicals would demand the floor for
reply. He thought it better that the
| free fight should be open at once,
and this was finally decided on as
the best course to pursue. The
Democrats are ready to carry the
war into Africa, if the senator
from Maine gives them any chance.
They will go over the whole field, and
make it hot for the Radicals Senator


Butler, of South Carolina, will deliver
a long speech on the occasion, in which
he will go into the mathematics Of the
Radical mill in this State, and show
that while in one year the carpet-bag-

1t has been rumored in naval circles
for several weeks that change in the
uniform of officers Of the navy was
contemplated, but as nothing definite
could be learned that such change
was to be made no interest was at
tached to the rumor. About week
ago an officer in Washington learned
that a new uniform circular was in
print and about to be promulgated,
and upon making further inquiry it
was learned that the new circular was
advised by three officers without the
cognizance Of any other officers of the
service. The proposed changes are
absolutely Objectionable to the officers,
and are much in accord with the En-
glish style, which is Objectionable to
English officers. The officers Of the
navy feel so indignant that the uniform
as at present, so thoroughly American
in its simplicity and style, distinct in
itself and so well known all over the
world, should be changed 10 q uniform
neither American nor English, but
more the latter than anything, that
they have resolved to make deter
mined protest against any change, foi

A correspondent of the Cleveland


Herald had an interview with Judge


William 81. West, at Lima, on the 9th


ult. Following Is an extract of the


correspondents report:


Having been engaged in court all


day the Judge had not been able to


learn the contents Of the Democratic


platform that had just been adopted at


Columbus, and read portion of the


report OF the proceedings contained in


the Herald aloud 10 him.


The first comments of the listener


was in reference to the platform: oh!


that's just Democratic twaddle.' Then
after pause, he continued: Probably
twaddle is not exactly proper term
to apply to 1t, but what / wish to ex-
press Is that the platform consists of
glittering generalities. 1t sounds well
enough, and II the results referred to
could be accomplished 1t would be a
great thing, but unfortunately there
are no fruits ever realized from Demo-
cratic promises and platforms. From
your single rapid reading / must say
that the Columbus platform resembles
all the rest. The devil promised the
kingdom of the world great glory, but
did he intend and would he have been
able To fulfill his pledges? Do they
not expect simply to make great stir,
hoping through sound, bluster and fury
TO attract attention and thus catch
votes? They have So often made
promises that have been wholly with
cut results, that confess am unable
10 soc any indications of anything diff
ferent Ia the future. In fact It Is
doubtful whether the Democrats really
mean anything In their platform


do you think that the financial
part OF the platform will win vOtes:'


1T should not. These financial mat
ters are not party Issues. The silver
question was not party matter, nor is
the greenback issue of party. These
questions are sectional. By bringing
them into the Columbus platform the
Democrats are trying to humbug the
Ohio voters. In other States financial
sentiments precisely sntagonistic may
be uttered by the Democrats. The
silver bill would not have passed the
House of Congress had 1t not been for
Republican votes. But was that bill
valuable in its results? Is the country
any better off now than before it was
passed? Do the poor people get any
more to eat and wear? Is business
better? Has manufacturing improved
and is capital more readily invested?
The results are what show the utility
of measure, and the only benefit of
the Silver Bill Is that derived in ray
ing the public debt. Its effect is scarce
ly perceptible in private life, and NO
one wishes to carry silver around.
While speaking on the financial topic
1 wish to urge the necessity of absolute
IepOse concerning it, In order that
general Confidence may be established.
II charlatans keep up their Outcry, AS
in the Columbus platform, confidence
will not be restuTed.'
