ONE of the most able and influential OF
the antl-Administration journals, speculat-
ing upon the chances of success in the
ensuing Presidential campaign and discuss
ing the best means to obtain it. cautions
everybody concerned to bear in mind that
they are managing problem of the ma
ture OF game" and that not single
chance must be sacrificed to their hopes.
This is exactly the rock on which the op-
position will probably go to pieces. The
masses of the country have no taste for
gambling, and it is hardly probable that
the Republican rank and file will follow
gamster's desperate lead in matter which
SO vitality concerns the honor and welfare
OF the nation. The admission was proba-
bly, an inadvertence, but it is none the less
significant as showing how completely des-
titute, even in the eyes of its leaders, tho
movement is of any moral pitch or pur-
pose. So long as the least suspicion Of
unworthy trickery attaches to it, the peo-
pie will repudate it with contempt.

The color question is agitating the Free
Masons in New Jersey. Two years ago
applications was made to the Grand Lodge
OF the State for a charter for new lodge
IN Newark, to be called Alpha Lodge. Ii
having been reported that the new lodge
intended to initiate colored men. the appli-
cants were questioned on that point. and
declared the report false. A charter was
granted to the new lodge, on receiving
which, proposals for membership from a
dozen colored men were entertained.
lhis created great excitement among the
white Masons throughout the State, and on
the night when the candidates were to be
balloted for, the Grand Marshal of the
State appeared by order of the Grand
Master, and demanded the charter of the
lodge. he received it, and Alpha Lodge
was formally suspended.


The matter came up at the last session
OF the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, and af-
ter sharp discussion, the charter of Alpha
Lodge was restored by a vote of III to
lo3. Alpha Lodge then elected the colored
candidates and began to give them their de-
grees. This action aroused the white Ma
sons to new efforts. Trenton Lodge, No.

ter to call a special communication of tho
Grand Lodge to reconsider its action. and
united effort was made to again secure
the revocation of the charter Of Alpha
Lodge. The effort has failed. Grand
Master Paine has refused to convene the
Grand Lodge. Meanwhile Alpha Lodge

At latest dates from Camp Date Creek, two sub-ch:efs- and several Apache Indians had come in there and declared themselves Itked of bucking against the whites.

 Friendly Indians say that large number of Apaches are concentrated in the foothills of Bill Williams Mountain. their object being to council and prepare for killing and robbing whites. No doubt, General Crook will at tend to their case.

 Agent Jacobs thinks of settling the Verde

 Indians near Peck's Lake, on the Upper Verde, where there is abundance of fish, game, grass and arabic land. His idea is to teach the Indians how to make living out of the soil, knowledge many of them already possess, but which they are averse to prac- ticing.

 Our Phoenix letter gives the latest Indian dcpredations in that portion of the Territory.

The Press and people of Eastern Nevada are again agitating the question of building . narrow guage railroad from some point on the Central Pacific road to Northern Arizona, and we sincerely hope they may keep on agi- tating the question until men of capital come forward and start the enterprise. .. Of course, it will not take much reason or argu- ment to convince intelligent capitalists re- garding the profits that would speedily be derived from the traffic of railroad over the proposed route, which road would tap some of the most extensive mining fields in the world, and open up much good grazing and farming land.

 The Mormons are working away on their road, which points this way, and, unless San Francisco, Los Angeles and other California towns awake and run rails out this way, Salt Lake City and Chicago will be seducing us into trading with them.

 Concerning the Texas Pacific, the talk is that the engineers have utterly failed to find a feasible route through the mountain chain lying between Fort Yuma and San Diego and that, in consequence, said road is going to be constructed on route running through Salt River Valley and crossing the Colorado at the Needles, which route, we assert, is easy and practicable and would accommodate the people of every section of this Territory.

 Stanford X O., are silent concerning their plans, and will remain so until the subsidies they now ask arc secured.

 The Atlantic and Pacific Company are pre- pairing to make big break on Congress for the opening of the Indian country, which ac- tion would ensure the building of road on tine route of the 35th parallel inside of five years

Manifest destiny is hastening our course toward Mexico, and to avoid another oollis sion with the people of that country is be- yond our power. Then, the sooner it comes the better it will be for them and us. Her people we do not care to have incorporated under our flag and Constitution, but there is no way to avoid doing so. The country was made for us, and will never become what God and Nature made it for until Americans sit in its halls and rule its destinies. Our Government and people have tried their very best to live in peace with Mexico and her people, yet, how have they acted towards us? How have they repaid us for the 'sfavorn done them in driving European armies from their soil |? Let the murders and robberi, 6 recently committed by Mexicans upon Amer jeans, from the Gulf of Mexico to that Of California, answer. An! what American can forget the butehery of, innocent American men, women and babes, at Mission Camp and other places in this Territory; the murders committed in Texas the impoverishing of our citizens by her thieves, and the fell spirit of revenge for the loss of conquered territory, and for our prowess in arms: our scientific skill, our progress, that fires the hearts of the wretched mongrels across the Border. Not one, we imagine. Then, let us at once to the work of. rc-constructing Mexico and her in- habitants,-a work which it is our duty to perform. The job may not prove a pleasant one. But escape it we cannot Fate, or something else, has blinded her people. The Indian blood in their veins is working their ruin. Like Cachisc, they want license to do as they please; carte Jlaache to kill Amer jeans and rob them of their property but they offer no security for future good beha- vior; nor will they give up or punish the murderers and oppressors of our people, until such time as they are forced to do so.

 And, from the signs of the times, the time when they shall be made do so is not far dis tant, as from every section of the border we now hear muttered American thunder that will soon break forth from cannon and rifle and scare the Greasers out of their mocasins

merit. We might cite more than one
farmer who in rival markets has mad
money on single lead at times when
the cupidity of the buyer induced
him to advance the price, and lost
double his profit on that load when
returning with his many neighbors to
reap harvest.


The producer has no more interest
in the Cresco market. than have the
businessmen Of the place. Wo all
understand that the better he prices
it pays. the greater the number of
people that will seek it, with a con-
sequent increase in every brarch of
business and larger dividends. We
will even concede that tho mcrchant ats
Of such town as this might com bine
to handle the produce of the country
paying such prices as not to leave a
farthisgfor handling it.


This would not prove that they
would do the work ayA labor Of hand
ling a crop gratuitously any more than
that they SO do in other towns where
they are as class interested in the
produce trade. They would of course
increase their own sales IN proportion
as they would increase the number Of
persons doing business in their mar
ket. This is a recourse for rcpara-
tion of losses that the grain buyer
cannot avail himself of.


So it remains grave question even
if these propositions are true whether
this would be any means Of certain
relief, for by concentrating the bus
iness in few hands would destroy
competition in all, and leave the few
master Of the situation. But if our
market has not an honest, healthy
competition, as exists in all other
trades or professions, then others,
and as many as are needed to make
it so, should be permitted to engage
in tho produce business npon equal
terms with others while if there is
such competition as the buyers allege,
then we cannot see how it would ben
eft the producer to increase the NUN :

the farmer to support, while their
services are not needed to move the
crops of any season.

A bill for the relief of Chicago has
been introduced in Congress. The
bill provides that the foreign materi al
used in the rebuilding Of Chicago
shall be duty free. This would save
about $25, 900, 900 to Chicago and
be that much of relief. That con-
ceded, why would it not be a similar
relief to the whole country to repeal
the tariff law altogether, or at least
to so modify it as to make its bur-
dens light. Of fcourse, his would be
the effect universally ola repeal of
the law, as much as it will be the
eject as respects Chicago, by auspen-
ding its operations SO far as it might
affect that city. We say to Con-
gress, pass the bill for the relief of
Chicago, if for no other purpose than
to prove the truth Of the doctrine of
free trade. Once the people become
convinced that suspension Of the
tariff act, as regards one locality,
will be a benefit to the place, they
have sense emo ugh to perceive that a
repeal of the same act-its indiinite
suspension-it will be benefit to
the whole country. Suspend the

The following is the experience of
a mechanic concerning the benefits of
a newspaper: --.....


Ten years ago lived in a town of
Indiana. On returning home one
night, for l am carpenter by trade,
I saw little girl leave my door with
a smile, which is encouraging
to man after hard day labor. /
asked my wife who she was. She
said Mrs. r. had sent her little
girl after her newspaper which she
borrowed. We sat down to tea. My
wife said to me: .s ."...-.


II wish you would subscribe for
the newspaper, it is so much comfort
to me when you are away from
home.'


My answer was: ...a


Il would like to do go, but you
know owe payment on tho house
and lot. 1t will lie all l can do to
meet it," .' ."-. -..


Said she: g.
"If you will take the paper, I will
sew for the tailor to pay for it,


I subscribed for the paper; it came
in due time to the shop. While
resting one noon and looking over it,
I saw an advertisement of the
county commissioners to let bridge
that was to be built.


I put in bid for the bridge, and
the job was awarded to me, on which
I realized three hundred dollars.
which enabled me to pay for my
house and lot easily, and for the
newspaper. If 1 had not subscribed
for the newspaper l would not have
known anything about the contract
and could not have met the payment
on my house and lot. A. mechanic

We have always had n notion that
a great many churches treated their
shepherds shabbily, but facts given
in the New York Observer have filed
US with indignant astonishment.
Sometimes, at least, Donation Par
ties are hollow humbug. The OBJ
server cites an account of one which
we can hardely credit. All the gifts
it is stated. were marked with such
price as the donors pleased to put
upon them, and the aggregate Of
these amounts was deducted from the
pastors salary, so that it isn't easy
to see where the donations come in.
Among these forced sales to the
poor minister was little package
of pepper valued at TWO CENTS! So
also two fans were charged at one
half dime each! We suppose that
the recipient of these costly gifts, If
he kept them, must have been Of
meek and grateful disposition: +: but it

we surrendereu laSC week large
amount of our space to correspondents
in discussing questions about our
market The real grievance made in
behalf of the producer not being full
ly presented, we state their case for
them, as made by those who would
champion their cause, without other
qualifying remarks than this; that
the facts are what we, aud we believe
all others want, and that it profteth
nothing in the way Of proving one to
be right, to assert that another is
wrong.


On behalf Of the producer it is al
legged that combination exists
among the grain buyers whereby
competition in the purchase of grain
and other products is destroyed in
this; that only one buyer bids for any
article offered on the market, and
thatsf oil is bought by one, tho 9th
crs Mvasa fixed and definite share in
it's ownership.


This charge, made by class Of
men as good as are to be found in
any community, is denied to US by
the grain buyers in all its parts, and
no botter or moro honorable men are
to be found upon any market in any
state. So glaring contradiction
can only be settled by evidence of
the facts as they really exist. One
party or the other is mistaken.
Which is it?
To men alike worthy Of belief, cre-
dence is due to those having knowl-
edge of the facts stated instead of
those whose information is based on
madam rumor, making duo allowance
for the extent that interest mi ght
swerve him in his statements or
judgment.


Against the elevator it is asserted
by some that it will not receive and
ship the produce Of tho farmer. So
many farmers have stored their wheat
there and afterwards shipped it, on
the same terms as the wheat buyer,
as all others may. that it is unneces.
sary to waste words about that al
legged grievance. Tin fact absolute
ly displaccs all middle men but the
commission house to whom the ship
ment is made.
1t is alleged on the part Of some
that better grain market exists in
other places. This may, and may not
be true. The price paid is only an ap-
parent test. l or 2 cts. advance may
be made in the price per bushel, with.
out increasing the farmers gain if he
is cheated a trife in the weight. The
increase in price he would under.
stand, the loss in weight he might
remain ignorant of, and be satisfied
with the market, though defrauded
in every sale.

Formerly very large, well-known and
