Chandler’s Silver Scheme.
Senator Chandler, Republican,
his pome forward with a scheme
* looking to the remonetization silver.
The Senator proposes radical meth
0(1h in bringing this about. He
content plates the introduction in
the Semte aftor the reconvening |
congress of a resolution which he j
will advocate, asking the United j
* States to invite all countries in the ,
world, eastern, western and south
ern to attend a m notary confer -
I ene«. The new features of the pro
posed conference is that it shall not!
be restrict <1 to European gold
standard countriesbu shall include
South America and oriental silver
standard countries. Moreover in
vitations to the conferance are to
contain a declaration of the United
States that the purpose of the con
ference shall be the establishment
and rriaintainancs of an Interna
tiona) ratjlo to wh ' h specific decla
ration shill be added that if such a
ratio cannot be agreed upon it will
be the purpose of the United States
to adopt a single standard and that
standard not gold but ilver. By
taking this extreme position, not
as yet advocated in Congress even
by thrs radical silver men, Chandler
thinks the hands of the gold stand
ard countries not now trading ex
tensively with the western world
can be forced.
The San Francisco Examiner ha
the following to say of Arizona
‘ The Arizona press and people
have shown proper spirit in indig
nantly resenting the attitude of the
Congressmen who have resisted the
admission of the Territo y to State,
hood on the ground that it is a
desert land given over, between
mining camps, to the cactus and
coyote. The Arizona of the melo-'
drama and the frontier romance is
a prosperous, orderly and growing
commonwealth, tit for all the duties
of Statehood. Arizona now lacks
but a few thousand of the number
of inhabitants to entitle it to a
Representative in Congress. Its
public school system is one of the
bent ia the country. It has devel
oped agricultural resources that
place it alongside the great com
monwealths of West. The des
ert hsa been pushed back and with
the extension of the irrigation sys
tem is likely to have nothing left of
it but the eternal rocks of the
mountain.. The only objection to
admitting th? Territory is chat of
revenue. Tie state government
costs about twice as much as the
territorial. But ss the expense is
to be borne by the people of Ari
zona themselves they ought to be
given the privilege of supporting
the kind of a government that they
want/,
The Territorial Funded Bonds.
The Gazette is infor nel hy Ter
ritorial Treasurer Fleming that the
case agiinst him preferred by Sea
songood & Meyer, of Cincinnati,
came up in the New York court of
appeals, D*ootnber 13; h and was
thrown out, thereby forfeiting to
the Territory the SIO,OOO deposit.
The bonds of the original issue are
now in the hands of the Territorial
Treasurer, awaiting a purchaser,
with little chance at present in
sight.. They embrace $500,000,
bearing interest at 5 per cent an
num. Owing to the stringency of
the times, this amount appears
large indeed to the eastern capital
, ist, and an offer of par is regarded
as extremely unlikely for months
to com*. —Gazette,
j “Distance lends enchantment to
j the view*' was never more forcibly
| illustrated than at the Yuma peni-
I teutiary. For years the problem
of how to get. raw material at
Yuma to work up into marketable
shape by prison labor has puzzled
the wisest lie ids for it must be re
j membered that the labor there is
I unskilled and can only be turned
j to account in a crude fashion.
The cutting of stone into shapely
building blocks was an industry
that could be worked to advantage
but the expense of shipping it to
the prison would eat up the profit.
It was only at the quarterly meet
ing of the commissioners held this
week that the fact dawned upon
them that right at the prison.doors,
in fact the ground upon which the
prison *is constructed contains as
tipe a quality of granite as Arizona
can boast of.
It is not neoessary to go into de
tail of the value of the discovery,
s'raply let it be stated that every
able bodied prisoner of the 170 now
confined there will be at work
within a fortnight dressing ibis
rock for the use or the territory in
constructing public buildings. The
rock takes a most beautiful polish
and will also be valuable for many
purposes besides that of erecting
the walls of buildings. The above
aptly illustrates the human fault of
rushing to distant fields for wealth
which lies at our doors.—Prospec
tor.
A young Baltimore beau en a
recent visit to Chicago was riding
in a crowded car in that city, when
two bustling women who entered
exclaimed, “There’s no chance of
getting a seat in here.” The Balti
raorean doffed his hat and invited
her to take his place, to her utter
surprise. Tiie car became still
more crowded, and madame’s shrill
voice said, “Won't you sit in my
lap?” The courtly Baltimarean
bowed again and said, “I do not
deem myself worthy of that honor.”
“Why, I didn’t mean you. I was
talking to Eliza,” was the indignant
answer. An acquaintance of the
Btltimorean told the story on his
return to this city.
The Star says: “The public
school system of Arizona was in
augurated in Tuc3on twenty-three
years ago. To is was school for
boys which was taught by Jo in A.
Spring. No girls were in a'tend
ance. The following year the first
public school for girls was opened
by Mrs. L. C. Hughes. From
this small beginning we have now
hundreds of school houses and
teachers, and yet a quarter of a
century has not passed since the
opening of the first public Bchool in
Arizona ”
The saliva of dogs and cats is
especially rich in bacteria, that of
latter containing a form which is
seldom observed and so fatal that
rabbit* and guinea pigs inoculated
with it die in twenty-four hours.
The dog’s saliva contains an even
greater number of bacteria plus oc
casional eggs of intestinal worms
and so on. Tiiose fond and loving
women who are prone to waste
their caresses upon lapdogs will be
interested in this item.—Pharma
ceutical Era.
The era of economy which has.
been inaugurated by ihe territorial
administration will eventual! ylcad
to a much lighter burden of taxa
tion on the people of Arizona. —

Tiro Railroad* to Yuma.
National City Record: The
rapidiiy with which we are acensn
alating railroads to Yuma is start
ling, not to sav !»■•*w l l liin r. Dir
ing the past week Mr. Bramin re
turned from San Francisco and de
clares that he will b iitd ins road to
Yuma if the loud subsidy is raised.
He only staid in th * city two days
and then departed for the east with
the avowed intention of pushing
the road And then comes “Our

that we will get no r >;vd at all.
There should be a concentration of
energy uoou one scheme or the
other, anil (He sooner biitr of the

Go?. Hughes’ Ylsit. *
Governor L. 0. Hughes attended
the meeting of the Board of Prison
Commissioners Wednesday, for the
purpose of devising some if
possible, whereby the prison labor
can be utilized and the' institution
pub upon p self sustaining basis, by
the expenditure of such a sum of
money as the territory can afford to
devote to this purpose. The Gov
ernor has an caglq’s eye upon the
best interests of the territorial in -
stitutions, and their management,
and seems determined that they
shall bo run on a strict business
basis, and for the best good of all
concerned.—Sentinel.
Prison Commissioners §. O. Bagg
and A. G. Williams, held their reg
ular quarterly session this week,
commencing on Tuesday. They
found the prison in excellent shape
and werß well pleased with the im
provements made by Superintend
ent Gates. The commissioners
have g lined the respect of all with
whom they have had business re
lations, by their promptness and
business-like method of dispatch
ing the work before tham.—-Semi
ns!.
A rather strange story is told
about the way the men operating
theGunsight mines pay thßir min
ers. Ttiey e n iloy Mexicans at thn
rate of one dollar a day, compel
them to live at the company board
ing house, charging them one dollar
a clay, and only give them five
day’s work a week. If thik story
is true these thrifty Eistern gentle
men should bo ruu out of the
country.
A large party has been organized
in Southern California for a trip
down the river and into the gulf.
They have made arrangements to
take one of the steamer company’s
barges for going down and when
ever they get ready to come backja
steamer will go down for them.
The party numbers about 50 peopl*
and expect to spend a month on
their trip.—Yuma Times.
