WE are glad to see that the two Prescott newspapers are regarding the HERALD as leader of public opinion. We refer to an article on mail routes in our issue of the 2d, and that part of it which calls for a postal service between Phoenix and Prescott is being briskly advocated by those papers. Now. if they will advocate a daily line from Phoenix to Stanwix, to connect with the coaches of the Southern Pacific line, they would get their mail A hours sooner than at present.

Some time ago, a San Jose merchant
and purchased an invoice of goods
amounting to nearly SO, 900, which was
made payable in time installments for
the accommodation of the customer.
When the first payment became due the
San Jose merchant came here and paid
it, purchasing at the same time a sec
ond invoice of goods on similar terms
to that on which the first lot was OBJ
tanned. But when a second payment
became due it was not forthcoming, and
the San Francisco house pressed the
San Jose customer for the money. Af-
ter some trouble the matter was carried
into the District Court at San Jose.
The San Francisco house sued for the
amount of the debt, with interest, etc.
The debtor demurred on the ground
that the plaintiffs were not legally
constituted firm, not having complied
with the law relating to the filing of ar
ticles with the County Clerk and the
publication of the names of the firm in
4 daily newspaper, as the statute re-
quires; that failure to comply with the
law has deprived them of any standing
in court. 1t is reported that the demur-
rer has been sustained. The constitu-
tionaltity of the law will probably be
tested, as it is understood that the case
will be carried up to the Supreme Court
on appeal. If it is true, as stated, that
very few newly established firms com
ply with the law in this respect, this


may open a long series of lawsuits

William D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, who
for many years past has made himself some=
what notorious as respects his advanced
views on financial questions, particularly
during McCullough's reign as Secretary of
the Treasury, has paid flying visit to this
city on his way to Washington, and was
questioned by Graphic representative in
reference to the passage of the Bland Silver
bill. He spoke as follows:


Why, is there no doubt about its passage?
l knew this would come to pass years ago,
but then was laughed at. To day the best
and soundest men of the country have come
to my way of thinking on this great financial
problem. It's all bosh to say that we would
be flooded with silver if this bill should be-
come a law. Why, we can take all the silver
that England likes to send over. Neither
Russia nor Austria has any silver to send us
We shall never get it in large quantities from
England, as she needs it for subsidiary coin,
and Germany will not send much. /; If we
would come from France; and, if
she. should determine to demonetize
surplus stock upon US, but, then, that would
not be very much. The work of contraction
must be stopped, and that quickly, or we
shall be far worse off than now. The first
thing to be done, however, is to repeal the
Resumption act. Silver must be reno netiZedi
tender--maintafned. As soon as this is ac=
complished. the people in the cUuntry can
have plenty of work at good, honest wages,
they can then earn gold and silver, and in due
time specie payments can be resumed. Oir
people ought tolearH a lesson from France
Look at that country. and see how easily it
waded out of huge, gigantic difficulties, far
more than we had to bear, simply to see that
her industries were not to be impaired. Her
policy was, in times of war other exigen-
cy, if necessary to make an issue of irredeeIn-
able currency. and to invest such issue with
the character of legal tender. made available
for all purposes to which money
could be applied in that country. She
prevented the withdrawal of the pa
per- per unit until a., continuous balance of
the country metallic money sufficient to sup
ply the channels that had been temporarily
s,al,


been met. If we stop employment, then we
arrest and impoverish the public treasury,
and this is exactly what we have been doing
Therefore, we can not expect the people to be
contented. If our greenbacks had been ac-
cepted in payment of all public dues, and
had there been no attempt to retire any part
of paper until metal substitute had been
purchased by the export of our surplus com
modities we should always have had a good
supply of silver and gold at moderate pre-
MUM. Then the question of resumption
would be of as little Importance to us as it is
now to the people of France.

IT is stated, upon the alleged author
ity of Representative Buckner, that a
careful estimate of the friends of the Sill
yer bill shows that more than two-thirds
of the members of the House are in
favor of silver measure of liberal pro-
visions, but he doubted whether the
Bland bill would pass In the Senate
he had been informed that they could
also get two-thirds on a reasonable
measure, and it was their intention to
bring this question to an issue as soon
as possible, in order to relieve this coun-
try from its present suspense.

that one individual. Page knows that he
must to some extent keep himself out of
view in this canvass, for the people will
not tolerate him, nor any scheme which
they know to have been concocted by
him. 1t Is necessary therefore to present
the appearance Of h.,nesty and sincerity,
and this they attempt to do in the role of
"retormers," but they do rot sufficiently
obscure their real purpose. Dr.. Gibson,
their candidate for senator, is an admirer
Of Page, and the same is true of Gaskill
and Uncle "Tommy" Gibson, for the
house of representatlves-all these delight
to do his bidding. A. E. Cox, for sheriff,
is another, and no more need he said
about him. John E. Robinson, Of Lam

of the Peace" is on the ticket for county
attorney.


Such is the crew which the Mower

more ridiculous? So far as the people of
this county are informed, Sherman Page
