lished in both Navajo County papers,
in which he says": 4,F. W. Kelson is

ner, and he never has been a partner of
mine." Freddy must be a "hoo-doo"
if it is sufficient to politically damn
any person who simply sustains busi
ness relations with him.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Republicans of Apache coun ty
held their county convention last Tues
day, the 15th inst., the detailed pro
ceedings of which can be found in an
other column. This party can now be
said to be completely in the field for
this campaign, and it only remains for
Democratic party to hold their conven
tion (which occurs on the 23d inst.)
when the lines will be sharply drawn
and both sides organized for work be
tween now and the election in Novem
ber next.
The platform promulgated indorses
the Sc. Louis platform "without any
Reservation whatever." This places the
Republicans of Apache county in a
fairer position before the people than
those of any other county ia the Terri
tory, as we doubt whether any other
county convention will indorse the ac
tion of the national convention in such
unequivocal terms as did that of last
Tuesday. This, to say the least, puts
the Republicans of" Apache county
more in accord with the principles of
thair aide of the political fence than
those of any other in this territory.
Several local questions were discussed,
the one cf most interest being that in
regard to the boundary line between
this and Graham counties. Some of
the legislation of the last legislative
assembly w&s mildly disapproved of.
The passage of these acts', by the way,
WS by &s, &3sos:ttly largely Senublic&nj '
and all the legislation, criticized was the
iwork of Republicans. A small plank
in the middle of the platform indorses
N. O. Murphy, present delegate to. con
gress.
The tickat nominated and placed be
fore the peoplo averages np pretty well
and is composed of very fair citizens
It, of course, was the outcome of the
usual amount of cauenssing and com
peting among the different possible can
didates and their friends, and like all
compromipes, is not entirety sstisfac
tory to all. Still, however, we do not
see how our friends could do much bet
ter. Several times during the negotia
tions the wide differences bid fair to
disrupt the entire concern, but the old
heads of the party came to the rebcue,
and & truce was patched up between
the warring and discordant factions.
Of course, in the convention proper,
things moved comparatively smoothly,
but no one can tell what the result may
be between now and the day of election,
The usual party machinery was erect
ed and is expected to run for the next
two years without a jar. Delegates to
the Territorial Convention were elect
ed and even this matter seemed to be
the result of careful study on the part
of the party managers as the entirely
honorary positions were bestowed with
an eye single to the adjustment of any
slight differences that might have been
overlooked.
Altogether Ihe proceedings of the
convention were marked with the fea
tures of the most typical Republican
Convention that has been held here for
the last several years.
IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
The Fifth Annual Session
at
Phoenix Next December.
IFrom the Official Call.
Tne work of the National Irrigation
Congress has now continued for more
than five years. The first session was
held in the city of Salt Lake, Utah ;
the second in Los Angeles, California;
the third in Denver, Colorado, and the
fourth in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Each session was marked by keen in
terest and by intelligent and effective
work in the cause of irrigation and the
reclamation of the arid lands of the
West. To. the sessions have come the
brightest minds of the Union, seeking
to solve in concord'the vexed questions
upon the solution of which depends the
further development of the western
and west central plains. The work has
not been without its fruit. Interest has
been awakened in points remote from
the irrigated regions and the reclama
tion of the waste areas is now regarded
in all justice as one of the most impor
tant problems awaiting legislation.
The coming session at Phtmlx will, it
is not doubted, be the most effective of
all. Particularly prominent will be
made tire discussion of points of legis
lation in order thntwell-digealed meas
ures be prepared for the consideration
of the Federal Congress and of the
State legislatures. Though able author
ities will be in attendance and have
been placed upon the programme for
the presentation of subjects of tech
nical and economic interest, it is de
signed that the Fifth Congress shall
be a body with work far more general
than has been the case in any of its
predecessors. Addresses presenting
subjects shall be limited to fifteen min
leen minutes 'and the subsequent dis
cussion to half an hour, thiB ruling of
the executive committee not applying
however, to the discussion of legisla
tion or resolutions.
Railroad rates will not exceed a sin
gle fare for the round trip from all
points between Chicago and the Pacific
ocean ; details of transportation and
ticket limitations to be later announced
by the interested railroads. Passen
gers may be routed into Phenix over
either the Santa Fe or Southern Pacific
railway systems. Opportunity at low
cost mil be given for side trips to the
(irand Canyon of the Colorado, to the
City of Mexico, to Southern California
and other points.

The report of the Committee on Res
olutions was then read and adopted as
follows :
tVe, your committee on Resolutions,, beg to
make the foil owing' report :
The Republicans of Apache county, by their
representatives in convention assembled, reas
sert their allegiance to the 'Republi'N'in. p?.ry
and address tieir fellow cit:7es in the follow
ing declaration of fects and principles:
Resolved, That the uurestricted control of the
government by the Democrats party has been
a record of unparaHled In apac ty and disas
ter. They have ruthlessly sacrificed indispen.
sable revenue, entnilcd onunnec - sary di fi'-it,
and borrowed money for ordinary expenses,
piling up the public debt in times of peace;
They have forced an adverse baiance of trade
and reversed all the measures and results of
successful Republican rule.
Resolved, lhat every consideration of public
safety demands that the government shall be
rescued frora the hands of those who have
shown themselves incapable to conduct it, and
shall be restored to the party which for thirty
years administered It with unequaled success.
Resolved, That we believe the first and most
important question before the people is the
tariff. We believe that the policy of protecting
Amerleani"dustiles is the foundation aMd bul
wark of American development and prosperity.
We demand such an equitable tariff upon for
eign imports which come into compttition with
American products as will not only furnish ad
equate revenue for the necessary expenses of
the government, but will protect American la
bor and products. We favor the restoration of
a tariff on wool equal to that existing under the
McKinley bill.
Resolved, That Protection and Reciprocity
ar twin measures of Republican policy Dem.
ocratic rule has struck down both, and both
must be restored. Protection for what we pro
duceFree admission or necessaries of life
which we dp not produce 1 Recipiocity agree
ments o! mutual interests which gain open mar
kets for us in return for opeu markets to others.
Protection builds up domestic industries and
trade and secures our own markets for our
selves. Reciprocity builds up our trade with
foreign nations and finds an outlet for our sur.
plus.
Kesolved, That we endorse the national Re
rublican platform, as enunciated at St. Leuis,
without any reservation whatsoever. While we
are believers in bimetallism, we believe that
the Republican party is the only true friend of
silver, and will legislate in such a manner as
will be favorable to the coinage of silver with
out disturbing the business interests of the
country. We regard the sliver plank in the Na
tional Democratic platform as simply a subter
fuge invented to confuse the people and divert
their attention from the true issue before them
in this campaign, which is legislation upon the
tariff question .
Resolved, That we endorse the course of our
Delegate to Congress, Hon N. O. Murphv, and
we believe that the people of Arizona have been
well and ably represented by him. His labors
have always been in the interest of his constit
uents.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Conven
tion that Arizona ought to be admitted to state,
hood' as we believe it would be of great benefit
to our commonweal tn, and we demand our ad'
mission to the sisterhood of states in this Union
without further tquivtc.tion or delay.
Resolved, That we fuvor legislation for the
equitable adjustment and finul leflcment of
the question of the boundary line bstween
Apache and Graham counties, on a basis which
will be fair to this county ana its citizens.
Resolved, That we favor needed legislation
in support of the National Guard of Arizona,
tending to a better and more perfect organiza
tion of our citizen soldiery.
Resolved, That we fuvor echools at the public
charge, open to ail children, and free irom par
tisan or sectarian contral.
Resolved, That we favor the repeal of tue
present law in regard to the inspection of sheep
and the enactment of a law which will be a ben
eflt Instead of air enace to the sheep industry.
Resolved, That we favor a revision of that
section of the election.law regarding the mark
ing of ballots, which will be fa.r and just to all
of the citizens of this eounty, and instruct our
candidates lo the Legislature toworx for that
result.

Free Coinage of Silver.
Review of Reviews.
The annual product of gold is now es
timated at a little ovar $200,000,009. For
the years 1881-1885 Soetbeer estimated
the non-monetary consumption at
?80,000,000 a year, lt is now probably
a third more, but about $100,000,000 re
main to be added to the currency of
gold-using countries. The nations of
Europe using gold and not paper
have increased their population and
business during the past decade barely
as much as this country alone has in
creased it, and the rate of increase has
been far less. Europe's supply of cur
rency will increase as rapidly in propor
tion to the expansion of our industries.
It is hardly necessarv to anticipate any
exportation of gold whatever. This
nation, together with the silver-using
nations of Spanish America and the
Orient, constitute half of the commer
cial world. There is no more danger of
inflating the currency of half the world
with silver than there is of inflating the
currency of the whole world with gold
and silver. The currency of the world
will increase no more rapidly under na
tional bimetallism than under interna
tional bimetallism. Each will give to
silver and uold at the old latio approx
imately the same currency demand.
When the currency demands for the
two metals were approximately the
same, silver and gold remained at the
old ratio during the first part of the cen
tury, when three times as much silver
was produced as gold ; they remained
at this ratio at the middle of this cen
tury, when three times as much gold
was produced as silver. Much more,
therefore, will equal currency demands
maintain this ratio at the end of the
century, when the two metals are pro
duced in equal amounts.
A Faithful Porter.
"Once, when I was stopping at a pio
neer hotel at Alamosa, Col., said the
ancient major to the Daily National
Hotel Reporter. "I asked the landlord
to have a fire made in my room at 6:30
o'clock the next morning. He made a
note of my request on a book or slate
kept for that purpose, and told me the
porter would attend to the matter.
"The note read : 'Fire 40 at 6:30,
"The portor was new to the business.
He came at 6.30, and, having knocked
at my door, was admitted. Then he told
me to get out. I asked him what sort
of a fool he was, and he said he was all
kinds, but he obeyed orders just the
same. And, don't you think, that fel
low tried to throw me down tho stairs.
He would hay e succeeded in fact, had
nut the landlord appeared in time to
save me.
"That was the new porter's interpret
ation of 'Fire 40 at 6:30. "
A Double-Barrelled Paper.
Oakland Times.
One of the funny things of th's funny
campaign comes from Richmond, Va.,
where the two editors and owners of
the Richmond State, one a silver Dem
ocrat and the other a gold Democrat,
being unable to agree, take up the con
troversy in their own paper and have
engaged in war within the lines. One
of the partners has the editorial col
umns one day and loads them down with
silver arguments, and the next day the.
gold man tries his hand. It is not stated
who is ahead at the present writing,
but the subscribers are getting a vast
amount of amusement and incidentally
some information out of the double
barrelled paper.

An attempt was made last night to
wreck tho outgoing train on the Mari
copa and Phcenix railroad. About half
way between the cross-cut canal and
the Tenipe bridge an obstruction con
sisting of ties and fish-plates was plac
ed od the track. Luckily the engineer
saw the obstruction and stoped the
train in time to avert what must sure
lv have proven a serious accident.

LIFTING UP THE MASSES.
It Cannot Be Done by Putting
the Iiever Under Riches.
Democratic idea has been that if you legislate
to make the masses prosperous their prosperity
will find its wuy up and through every class and .
rest upon it William J. Bryan, in the Chicago
Convention.
In this telling contrast Mr. Bryan baa -uttered
not only an epigram, but a sci
entific formula. The Republican theory
of the Government with the national
prosperity is and has been literally as
be states it. The influence of this the
ory has been especially marked in the
tariff policy with which th8 name of
William McKinley has been conspicu
ously identified. Nobody pretends that
there is anything in any tariff law that
gives anything directly to a workman,
shopkeeper or clerk, and it cannot be
seriously maintained that such laws
contain any direct benefit to farmers.
The benefit of a high tariff, according
to its advocates, descend upon the
masses by way of the large employers
of labor. The tariff enables the manu
facturers and mine owners to tax tne
community, and then, by the hypothe
sis, they impulsively divide their gains
with their workmen in the form of
higher wages, and the workmen, in
turn, shed prosperity among the trades
men and farmers,
From the foundation of our Govern
ment the two ideas to which Mr. Bryan
refers have striven for the mastery.
The old Federalists, of whom the Re
publicans of to-day are the legitimate
descendants, believed in an ordered hi- '
erarchy of society, with the gentleman
of property at the top, with the work
ing mflsses looking to him for guidance,
employment and protection. Take care
of the gentlemen, was their motto, and
the gentlemen will take care of the peo
ple. The ideal was the benevolent
squire, living on his landed estates, and
surrounded by a happy, loyal and rev
erent tenantry, to whom the gracious .
lady of the hall would take delicacies
when they were sick, and who would
contentedly take up their abode In the
workhouse when they were rid.
Opposed to the Federalist idea was
that of the untamed Democracy, which
held that every man was the best guar
dian of his own fortunes, and which
asked nothing of its "betters" but
"plain, ordinary civility, and little of
that. ' The Democratic idea won and
became the basis of our system of gov
ernment. Up to the time when the
Republican party was captured by the
plutocracy it had created, the people
were recognized as the source of nation
al power and wealth. Nor have they
given up that idea yet. It is hard to
ia ike a dependent peasantry and pro
letariat of a race bred for generations
to carve its own way in government
and industry.
Even if the average millionaire were,
bursting with philanthropic impulses,
and never would consent to rise without
pulling up everybody below him, it
would still be repugnant to' American
instincts to have a crowbar inserted in
the social fabric to lift the top, m the
expectation that the rest would follow.
The more natural way is to lift every
thing at once by raising the base. But
cases have been known in which men
of wealth have risen without exerting
themselves to pull anybody else with
them. This fact intensifies the popular
diRtaste for the Republican plan of
raising society by the top Tne masses
prefer to make sure by having the pro-
cess begin with them. .
