HE FLORENCE TRIBUNE " By CHAS. 0. REPPY. PMLV PAPER IN PINAL BOUNTY. FLORENCE. ARIZONA. JULY 22. 189. . TERMsi (OnXr. ....... . . . $3.00 .U Months.. 1.50 Single Copies. Five Cents Entered at the Florence postoffice as jeeennd claw matter. The raioy season is upon us and washouts are becoming frequent. Ir the horseless carriage has come to stay, why not the muleless freight wagon ? It is the universal verdict of the lrninmers that no town of its size in the west is better than Florence. The W'inslow Mail advertises itself ior sale by J. F. Mahoney. It is a pretty good paper what do you ask for it, Mr. Mahoney ? Oabks Murphy couldn't stand the pressure and has hied Limself to Call fornia, "to escape the heat," as he told ,a Los Angeles reporter. Kansas they are running horseless carriages with wind, while in Arizona there are a number of newspapers with, the same motive power. The Board of Supervisors of Cochise county raised the assessment of the Cop per Queen company over $100,000, and the total valuations now foot np over 1 3,000,0c 0, making Cochise a first class .county. The Jiotfales editors 3iave stopped .calling eaea other asses and kissing bugs and all those nasty things, which makes their papers much better read ing. But just wait till John Dunbar gets to "wielding" the editorial tripod, At last President McKinley has reached the conclusion that Alger was a little more than his administration could carry, and that embalmed Secre tary of War will surrender his portfolio on Monday next to Assistant Secretary, MeiUlejohn. The grand jury of Santa Cruz county ndicted Editor Bird for criminal libel, and District Attorney - Harlow and Justice Joe Taylor for wilful miscon duct in office. Evidently the "push,' which the Oasis so often speaks of, were in a big majority on the jury. The report of the production of cop per in 1698 has just been submitted to the United States geological survey by Special Agent Kirchoff. The produc tion of the United States was 126, 375,591 pounds, the largest pro duction ever reported. The increase was largest in Arizona, while the Lake Superior district also recorded an ad-. ance. Montana fell off considerably. Ir Abra.hs.ai Lincoln were alive to day he wpuld be called a "copperhead" and "traitor" for the following utter ance: "No man is good enough to govern an- , other man without that other's consent. - When the white man governs himself that is elf -government; but when he governs him self and also governs another man, that is despotism. Our reliance is in the the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men in all lands, everywhere. Those who deny freedom, deserve it not for them selves." Boss Hassa was recently inter viewed by a newspaper reporter. In reference to the campaign of 1896, ilanna is quoted as saying : "I made my headquarters at Chicago, and there watched every move made by our cpponents just as we would( watch a game of chess. We carried the fight into every state and kept oar opponents busy at their homes, so that they could not come outside and fight us. Of course, we spent a large amount of money. We bad to. When the cam paign first opened we had no speaker who could discuss the issue without being confronted with what they had aid previously in discussing the cur rency question. You see, we had to wing around, for when Major Mc Kinley was nominated it was thought that Whitney and his friends would beat the free silver men in the demo cratic convention and make the fight on the tariff." The leading commercial organiza tions cf California, ably seconded by the State Press associ ation, are work ing to have the state take up the ques tion of the storage of flood waters by means of reservoirs in the wountaios. Water has thus been stored in France, Egypt, India and other countries, and the recent drought in California has made it apparent that such a course, must be adopted by that state for its future salvation. The project is entirely feasible not only in Califor nia but In Arizona. This territory can be made one great garden by the storage of the waste water. Tucson The "Knockers" Knocked. (From the Phoeuix Enterprise. Orders have been Issued along the line ,to return tbe fire and the trust papers are now falling over each other to come to the rescue of the "Perfumed Knight." While none of them delve into ancient history to recite deeds f daring during younger days in Oregon when the Dalles Steamship and Naviga tion Co. was searching high and low for a defaulting clerk, there is an effort made to justify the issuance of that official warning, aproclumation issued, not in the interest of honesty nor with adesireto protect innocent investors, but for selfish gain, to induce mining men to recognize the governor as a factor in mining deals. Why not issue a royal edict against crooked gamb ling? Or, better still, why not warp eastern people against purchasing fraudulent bonds that have been issued without warraut of law and against the issuance and payment of which the people are strong in protest? . When, as delegate to congress, Mur phy found some schemers ware trying to pass a bill to put life into a few hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds that had been declared invalid by the United States supreme court, what did Murphy do? Did he send out an official warning to the people of Arizona? Certainly he did not. Mur phy joined in with the baud of tbjeres and corruptionists and by log rolling and deception, the Murphy addition to the funding law was passed in June, 1896. Did Murphy do this to uphold the credit of Arizona or to hold up the taxpayers? Surely it was the latter, as during a residence of nearly twenty years in Arizona, the governor has lived by his wits as gambler, schemer and knocker. When he rolled some eastern cap italists and speut about $75,000 around Castle creek,, did any governor warn the eastern people that were being robbed? Certainly not. While there might be question as to the advisability of such investment, .the man who was then governor, recognized Uiat com mercial transactions did not properly come under his supervision. Now, why does not the Republican the organ of the'governor, continue its' attacks on the Val Verde, the United Verde, Jr., or the United Verde Ex tension? That organ together with the organettes, make a big noise about the Spenauma, which proposition was exposed by the Bulletin and Silver Belt some time ago. If tbe Spenazuma was tbe only offender, why did not that "official warning" say so? In stead, the governor refers to several other companies, Including tbe United Verde Junior and United Verde Ex tension. This made the warning gen eral. It placed a blacklisting mark against every prospect, ever partially developed property in Arizona. The inference given out was that a real mining property should be a dividend payer. He did not seem to realize that every mine must go through tbe development stage first. Now, Murphy advertises that be daily receives hundreds of letters from the east asking about Arizona mines. The scheme is working. Back there where the governor is not known the inference prevails that he is an honest man ; that he is trying to protect in' vestors and not that he is levying blackmail off those who have claims to sell. As these easterners now refer all mining mutters to the governpr there is but one safe method to pursue ; go to the governor (take your pocket book along), and secure a license to buy, sell and traffic in mines. Get his expert to examine your property, buy a write up in the organ and secure the governor's blessing, regardless of cost. Either do this or let mining alone. Tbe eastern papers devote consider able time and space to a description of tbe "kissing bug," a new kind of a reptile in that section of the country whose chief delight seems to be to bite a person's lip. The bite causes the lip to swell up and become quite sore for several days. The bird is a novelty in the eastern country, but is what is know as. a Chinese bed bug ip this sec tion of the world. Lordsbnrg Liberal. IS IT RIGHT For an Editor to Recommend Medicines? Patent From Sylvan Talley News, Brevard, N. C It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the vari ous proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depend' ing implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chmberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our, experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Brock way's Pharmacy. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. Official Proceedings.

Its features of construction are distinctively its own, and not to be found in any other makes. It contains no "ready made" parts, such as are lined in the rank and tile, but each and every part is manufactured from the crude material right in the Sterling: factory. Its construction hoi not been cheapened, but is GUARANTEED to be ths equal in material, finish and workmanship as when it sold for 1125.00 ... It is t he only American bicycle using the celebrated Mannesmann spiral fibretubin?. imported from abroad. It is not a re-hash of old models, but is radically changed. It represents the highest type of construction without a single cheap feature. Its equipment is high gradeonly, giving a large range of options on tires, saddles, chains and pedals. It has a broad guage guarantee, indefinitely protecting defects. It does not spend half the riding season in the repair shop. It is known to every wheelman as honestly built, up-to-date and handsome, strong and rigid, but light ruuniug and with remarkable responsl veness, Itruns as well nttheendof two or three years as when itwasnew. Its Ghninless Model is the only one made having interchangeable rear bevels, giving the owner two widely different gears at pleasure.
