The Republican has not come to pull down but to assist in building up. IUilkoad rumors a surely presage railroad building as smoke denotes the presence of fire. Thk MoKinloy tariff bill is daily gaining strength, not only with Congress, but with the people also. Phoenix is in need of a perfect system of sewerage and liberal concessions should Iks made to tho same. Thk.

fanner and the minor have a community of interest, each helping the other where the other is weakest. The next legislature should abolish tho feo system. Very good men can be secured to fill the county ollices on salaries. K.VbTEKN people who imagine that there is no titer in Arizona should make a pilgrimage to tho Salt River Valley. Those who regularly read The not find it difficult to seo where this paper will stand on all public questions, Goveh.nok Cami-uem.

intimates that tho Republicans will carry Ohio in the next canvass. This must be shocking to the Democracy. The advocates of statehood will do well to remember that the Republicans will keep control of the senate for tho next dozen years, at least. The est has had quite enough of that blatant fraud, Maj. Powelll.

That he is no friend of the arid land regions has been abundantly demonstrated. Wh tho Salt ltiver Valley needs most just now is moro money at a reduced rate of interest. No business can pay 18 to 'J4 per cent, for money. Tmi Australian ballot law has taken a firm rooting in this country. There is no mistaking that fact and practical politicians are studying the system.

Kentucky should send Carlisle to the Senate. Ho not as able a man as was Mr. Beck, but ho stands heads and shoulders above any of his competitors. Nellie Mlyism has seen its day in the journalism of the country. With other evilafovjwhich tho "blatherskite" press iarcsponsiblo it has disappeared, hav- Inbound' its level.

OKA should be up and doing in the matter of the World's Fair. The whole west is preparing, to make the Chicago exhibit notable one and Arizona cannot allbrd to lag behind. What the peoplo of Pluenix should In at onco Is to follow Dana's itdvico to the disrupted Democracy "Get together." There is too little of unity and too much of pulling in opposite direct tions. The first subscription to the daily edition of The Akizo.va Hei'ujilicax was for one year and the paper will go regularly for that period to O. J.

Scofield, in Waukesha county, Wisconsin. That he may live many years to enjoy this potent messenger from tho valley of tho Salt Kiver is tho hope and the wish of the publishers. Aside from hereditary predilection, every man resident in tho Salt ltiver Valley should be fighting under the Republican banner. The great system of protection, under which the country has mado a progress that has challenged the admiration of the world, covers and festers every industry calculated to up build this Territory. The inulo is credited with tenacity of purpose, but ho is no circumstance to an Arizona Democrat holding on to the public teat.

Tho Arizona Democrat may cry that "private station ia the post of honor," but ho isn't hankering after honor. Ho prefers to make a holy show of himself in clinging to office which ho holds illegally. Tucson is nun ing in the direction of a sanitarium and pleasure resort on a largo scale. It is proposed to erect on the military plaza or some other eligible site a handsome structure, designed and built with especial reference to tho climatic conditions. In the clear, bracing atmosphere ot tho second city founded on tho continent, such an enterprise should prove great There arc few schemes in which Tucson capital could bo so profitably placed.

Aluminum is daily growing more and more plentiful and is a real danger to silver. A firm in New York is preparing to manufacture it on an extensive style in the shape of table service instead of silver. It looks as well as silver, is lighter, indestructible and never tarnishes. For many of tho uses to which silver is applied aluminum will give greater satisfaction. Tho miners of Arizona should keep their eyes open for this mineral.

Wendell Easton is tho head of the largest real estate firm on the Pacific Coast and ono of tho most experienced real estato men in the country, lie annually spends hundreds of dollars in advertising. Consequently ho is an authority on the subject and his advice is frequently sought for that reason alono by large landed proprietors. In a recent lecture at San Francisco Mr. Kaston said: "In my lifetime I have written hundreds of books and pamphlets on real estato subjects, but (after all this experience of twenty-soven years I havo como to tho firm conclusion to do no nioi of that, but advertise in the newspapers. Everybody reads them, and they havo reserve space which peoplo know where to refer to for real estate bargains." THK UKI'UUMCAN.

This paper is tho outgrowth of a visit to tho Territory by tt nowspaper man in search of health. It is issued as a straight forward business proposition. Its management is in the hands of persons who are newspaper men by profession, who have served many years in tho harness, who risk their money and their lalxirJn tho enterprise. They are conviueod that here there is a field for a paper of this character and have full faith that tho immediate future of the Territory will justify tho present outlay. Tho paper will lo issued cry day in the year, becauso it is a daily paper.

It ill publish the full Associated Tress dispatches of six thousand words a day because it pre' tends to be a newspaper. It is Repub lican in politics because its editors and proprietors are adherents of that party and believe in its policy as the best adapted to the present and prospective needs of the country. It will be Re' publican in the broadest and widest sense. It will not bo tho mouthpicco of any set or clique or faction. It will not descend to abuse, vituperation or villifi cation of other political parties or indi viiiuai members tnereoi.

it win be as decent and manly in olitics as in every other relation. The management has few promises to make. It will givo Arizona the first full news service she has ever had. It will work for the upbuilding of the wholo Territory. The friends of Arizona will be our friends her enemies will Iks our enemies.

Agriculture, railroads, irrigating canals, mines, mills, smelters and everything calculated to build up tho Territory and enhance the interests, of the people ill receive the earnest and un divided support of Tin: Rm'uiimcan. No man need Inn any fear of taking this pajier into his homo or permitting his children to read it, as the utmost oversight will be exerted to prevent ob jectionable matter from finding its way into its columns. In short, The Rei-uhlican is willing to stand on its merits, and asks to bo patronized only on tho record it may make. To the charge that we 'are hero in un just competition with other pajHirs and to stare them out, we say: In our par iicuiar lino mere is no competition in the Teiritory. No other paper pub lishes so full a telegraphic service.

The Republican paper already here is an afternoon publication, occupy ing distinctively a field of its own. If it should change into a morning paper, someone else would occupy the evening field in a month. The remaining paper is Democratic and enjoys to tho fullest measure the party's support, including tho official "pap." Our subscription price is tho same as that of tho existing paier.s and our advertising rates are more man notibio wnat they now charge. There is no "mean, unmanly competition" in this. Ah wo start, so will wo continue, ever maintaining honest rates, hiring honest Union labor, doping to see our competitors prosper and wax fat and to livo in perennial peace.

We come to build up, not to pull down. Tin: Arizona Republican will be as broad as its name implies. It will attempt to cover the entire Territory.serv-ing the paper in every section on the day of publication and on the trains. Its news feature will secure it an extensive circulation and thus enable it to do good work for Pheenix and the whole Territory. The Weekly Republican will bo issued every Thursday, beginning May 29.

ARIZONA GRAIN' AND It is safe to say that all the valleys and mesas or table lands of Arizona can lie irrigated and made wonderfully productive, either in pastoral or agricultural products, incident to a climato of almost perpetual spring. This is made so by tho easy facilities for water storage that exist in all parts of the Territory to an extent rarely, if ever, found in any other country where irrigation is required. In all cases where water has Wen brought on these lands the results hao liecn astonishing, so rich and inexhaustible is tho soil and eo genial is the climate to all egetablo, cereal or arboreal growth. In alfalfa, three and four crops, of two tons to the aero each, of tho very best and most nutritious hay, is tho rule. The grain fields, after yielding a harvest of two to three thous and pounds per acre in May or June, can be irrigated, and will, in early fall, give a large crop of grain hay from the seed shelled by tho harvesting, or they may be allowed to lay by until fall, and then, by irrigation, produce a half or two-thirds crop tho following spring.

This may bo repeated for another year and a second volunteer crop lo raised, making threo annual crops from one sowing. This, while each year's yield pays to harvest in a diminishing ratio, is not to be considered good farming, but as it has been done in so very many cases, we merely state tho fact to show the productiveness of tho soil. Wheat and barley are tho principal grain crops. Wherever grainhas been sown, oats follow, secnling to bo almost 4 i.i.Jfit-..,iit"tf.r-uc svHjjmj, vuujiyw.fej!!, little of this grain ia sown, however, and it is usually cut when quite green and used as hay. Sjigarnlantsoi do remarka bly well.

Louisiana sugarcane and nor-ghum givo tlu'eg, annual paying yields irom tho nrst year's planting, beets grpw rapidly mid of wonderful size. Vll these give largo percentage in the nac- charine product. Cotton, pronounced to bo of the best fibre by experts, has been successfully grown, a halo sent fiom hero to tho great Now Orleans Fair attracting special attention. Of the fruits, small, large aiulspmi-jtrop-ical that are now growing in a healthy profusion and flow that beats any other section of tho union, wo have scarcely room to speak in this article. Oranges have no insect pests, blooming in March and" ripening in November, with a glove rind so pure and clean that thoy will not soil a lady's white handkerchief when plucked from tho treoj great pearaBart-lett, Ncllis, of tho finest grain and unsurpassed in flavor; peaches in ecry variety, ripening from June until lato in December apples that yield to none in Hpicy tartness or juicy sweetness do best in the higher mountain valleys.

Apricots ripen in May, and this seems a country notably adapted to this fruit. This is the earliest orchard product of the year and can be marketed from Arizona two weeka earlier than from any other part of the United States. Strawberries ripen in successive crops from February until November. Figs grow as naturally as weeds wherever a cutting is planted near the water. Such cuttings begin to bear the second year and tho trees yield three to four crops every season.

This is tho chosen homo of tho grjpe. Kvery variety from the finest raisin to tho common Mission does well and often yields two crops a year. TJio climate is so well adapted to curing tho raisin that there is doubt if any country can com' peto with us when this industry shall be fairly established. STANFORD'S IDEA. Bishop Newman has adopted the land theories of Senator Stanford and the Democratic press is howling at his lujels.

Tho idea of making farm mortgages the oasis oi a national banKing system is new and novel, but it is not as absurd as the subsidized press of tho country would have it appear. Indeed, it is based on sound financial sense. It doesn't suit the speculatoi, but the man who wants a safe foundation to tho National finances raises no objection The farm is the basis of all financial acuvuy ami muionai prosiierity. it a circulation based on silver bullion, vhy not one based on liens on tho farms of the country? The National banking system which the Republican party gave tho country is the financial triumph of modern times. The extinguishment of the National debt means death to tho nya- tern at an early date.

The phenomenal premium on government londs has already crippled it. A new idea was needed and Senator Stanford may havo furnished it. Whether ho has or not it is one that is beginning to command serious attention and is not now treated the frivolous manner it was when first enunciated. Silver cannot 1x3 mado the basis for National bank notes. The silver men aie not seeking relief for silver as much as they are contending for a great financial theory the equality of silver with gold as tho circulating medium of the country.

They consent to the issu ing oi treasury ceriincates based on silver bullion as a matter of convenience, just as a valid check represents cash in the bank on which it is drawn. To store silver and make it tho basis of bonds would lw to divert it from its an cieni aim proper uses. nat then is there upon which to predicate the bonds securing the circulation of national banks that will compare with the farms of the land? There is no industry that contributes so much to the welfare of tho people. There is none that employs so many people. There is no other that has received so littlo consideration, and none that so urgently needs cheap money.

Why not loan tho surplus moneys of the Government on the farms of the country at 2 or :1 per cent, interest per annum? In't that tetter than to pay tho Iwnd-holders from 2H to 117 per cent, premium on their securities? As a business proposition Mr. Stanford's idea would seem to commend it self. It is certainly too important to be dismissed in a flippant way. It will be heard of again and it is not safe to wager that ridicule will kill it. INDICATIONS J0F GROWTH.

As will bo seen by an interviow with Mr. Hine, tho Phoenix Water Com-qany will at an early day mako extensive improvements in tho water supply of tho city. Should all tho now work in contemplation be carried out, the supply would be nearly trebled and its effectiveness greatly increased. There is no surer evidence of the prosperity of a city than for capital to flow into channels of this character. Tho gentlemen who are behind the Water Company seo "the handwriting on the wall," and read there that here will be gathered a largo iopulation in the near future.

Everything is most propitious for Phoenix and for the whole of Arizona, and great stride! in material progress will soon bo made. When these extensions art) made to the local system of water supply, it Mcill be perfectly reasonable to demand a lower rato of insurance. The Pacific Insurance Union is rating risks very much too high now, and with improved water facilities a material reduction should be insisted upon. WORLD'S FAIR COMMISSIONERS. Exercising his duty and his right under the Columbian Exposition act, Governor Wolfloy has appointed two commissioners to represent Arizona at tho World's Fair.

On tho part of the Republicans he has named ox-Mayor Georgo F. Coats, of Phomix, and on tho part of tho Democrats, William Zeckendorf, of Tucson. TIlPKA ftr ilihnirqlili. nunnliitimnita wu, oo regnrueu oy mo poopje oi the Territory. They are both repre sentative men of their respective parties but, what is much more important, they are representative business men, of tho highe'st stanfling inj them- mumucB in wiiiciii uiuy uve ami wim unblemished reputations.

4They arc men of affairs, of recognized 'business qualifications and preeminent executive ability. The World's Fair will bo a bussiness enterprise, requiring tho services of business mon, a fact which the Governor seems to have-borne in mind. Beyond this, Mayor presents tho soldier element, "to wHch the Governor himself belongs, and Mr. Zeck-ondorf'a appointment is a graceful recognition of the Hebrew race, an "element of considerable in tho population of tho Territory Unit has always. been toremost.in commerce and banking and, indeed, everything that has tended to( build up and advance tho importance ofAf izona.

jTiieRepublican haa no doubt that tho appointees as alernaties will be men of equal eminence and acceptability and their hands tho interests of Arizona at Chicago in 1893 will beamp1y taken care of. All that is now needed ia that the people of the Territory uphold tho hands of their Commissioners to tho fullest extent. The Tucson Citizen has the following "With the press of tho Territory almost a unit on this proposition (statehood) Congress can have no valid reason for refusing to admit her into the Union." This reads all right, hut states are not created that way. Politics have consjd-earblo to do with the creation of new states. Organization and intelligently directed effort alone can win statehowl.

Newspaper gab never will. That is an interesting story of an old Indian murder of white miners on Black River, which somo Mexican prospectors stumbled on and tho details of which appear in this issue. Happy for Arizona and the brave, hardy prospectors who are developing her that the murderous Geronimo and his tribe are forever beyond our borders. It is quite safe to say that if the Louisiana Lottery Company ants a renewal of its charter in Louisiana it will succeed, despito the fact that it will require a Constitutional amendment and vote of the people. The Lottery company practically owns Louisiana and has for years controlled its politics.

The foolish free trader, who sometimes masquerades as a Democrat and again as a tariff reformer, attributes the American farmer's financial troubles to Protection. How does he account for the British farmer's difficulties? The British agriculturist is infinitely worse off than his American brother. It is a just compliment to tho schools of Phucnix that one of its pupils should have carried away the prize in an essay contest on tho American flag by so ex cellent a journal as Youth's Companion. The Republican congratulates the schools and the successful young author. A vfky determined effort is being made in the Sixth Congressional District of California to run Stato Senator W.

Rowers, of San Diego, as the successor to Gen. Vandevcr. California could secure no more active representative in the National legislature. The first exchange to reach The Republican was tho Los Angeles Exprett, the only evening paper of the city of the angels. The Expreis is a live, newsy and readablo paper, which we heartily welcome.

Eveky loyal citizen takes an interest in Memorial Day the day when a grateful nation lays asido tho routine duties of life to pay tribute to the brave and gallant men who died that the nation might live. Stockmen are hopeful of better times. While they do not look forward to a boom, such as prevailed in 1882 and 1884, they think beef will bring fair prices and that is all they ask. Tukhk are many good reasons why the new county of Coconino should be created and a just and reasonable bill would unquestionably pass the next legislature. Thk splendid sale Mr.

Fred Scofield made demonstrates that it pays to im prove land in the Salt River Valley. Cultivation represents the between 25 and (200 an acre. Revision of the tariff upon a strict lino of protection to American industries and American labor is what the McKin-ley bill proposes. Tub. Republican shall bo guided by to his.

No stkanoek should be allowed to leave Phoenix without being shown some of the country about tho town and espe cially the great canals. The Republicans of Phoenix should organize a permanent Republican club.

Such an organization would be a powerful factor in the coming campaign. The San Francisco Chronicle is deserving of much praise for the efforts, it haa been making in behalf the World's Fair. There will bo considerable, oftjio.freq" lanco about The Republican, but it 'will never folter in its advocacy of pure Republicanism. The silver men are making an able fight and will win, whereupon the coun try is to bo congratulated. Mkssks.

The good politician never "jumps to conclusions." Many papers are now. wheeling into line for statehood. m. askuce is taiKeu oi ior council from Pima county. Ratiieii early to begin killing off senatorial aspirants, isn't it? The fellow's who always want everything should bo given tho "go by" this fall.

All county could bo inducodfo' accept renomi nation from party. Ik all that ia said of Christ, of Nogales, bo true, wo may well ask "what is there in a namcf" Tombstone decljncd to disincorporate. Tho movement, it is said, was fathered by of Qochjsc county. Many Democratic papers arc now urging cx-Judgo Wright for Congress. What's tho matter with Marcus Aure-lius? Ik the Democrats, hope to succeed this Fall lwcauso of 'dissensions in the Republican ranks they arc doomed to dis-; appointment.

It is the opinion of theMohave Miner that "everv Territorial hold-over official would tender his resignation, were they assured of their salaries for the past year." Says tho Nogales Sunday Herald: "Tho Democrats were victorious in the Pliomix city election. But then no one is surprised: Phoenix was sliced off Missouri." The (jlobo Siher Belt, a Democratic pajwr, and one of tiie best in tho Territory, speaks of Ex-Governor Zulick as "a moat excellent" man not to elect to tho legislature." 'Tis said that Delegate Smith, having been able to save only $5,000 out of his first year in Congress, docs not propose again to be a candidate for re-election, butavill fettle in Tncson for the practice of the law. It is said that Fred. Smith is enjoying tho money of tho homesteaders of An zona in tho City of Mexico, and that he still occasionally airs his democracy. He would tike to hear irom "Steve." Says tho Tucson Sar: "The can didate is beginning to ripen ho is becoming mellow, in some instances sweet.

Some of them are liable to ripen too early, which means they will bo cast away when tno market is open." Let Republican generally paste tho following from tho Nogales Herald in their hats and consult frequently during the Summer months: "It is time for Republicans to quit fighting and begin stopping holes before their fences get in irreparable condition." Little Steve's pet measure in the last legislature was one to prevent hors from running at large. At this range it is apparent that a motion to strike out insert "Democratic oflicials" was order. There is no doubt that Steve often thinks of this as his pet joke. Speaking of Mr. Herring in connec tion with the Congressional race, the Valley Bulletin says Herring "has never been one of tfie boys' in Arizona poll tics and ho would not suit both factions of tho.

Iteiuiblican nartv. Her ring" says the Bulletin, "is the man who inquired of a friend during the last campaign if Gen. Wilson was running against Mark Smith tor fun." Wondehful how iiiinds will disagree, Here is the Mohave Miner with this opinion: "A number of Territorial newsnaners havo been denouncing Gov crnor Wolfley for his actions in regard to the or hold-over omciats. so far as tho Miner lias been able to judge in tho matter, the Governor has treated the hold-over officials fairly, and has granted them many things to which they, under the circumstance's, are not nntiilivl JOURNALS AND JOURNALISTS. The Republican ljae already an awakening all along tho.litie.

It has accomplished so much good, at least. The Florence Enterprise is a journal that would be a credit to any country, editorially and typographically. Oun esteemed contemporary, tho Gazette, holds a high rank as an authority on altaffii, according to the Nocnles Herald. auk iuonave Miner is published in a community comprising less than five hundred souls. It ia a better paper than towns of 5,000 can boast of.

Mr. is issuing a splendid paper and judging, from its patronage 'the people of Kingman appreciate it. The Clifton Clarion is again dead, this timo because Steve Dye, the lessee, skipped. The naners down that way are making it hot for Dye, who is alluded to ''liilV WliriTanrv l.ic says he will wager what is duo him, that Dye, who is a little man. "for size and weight can carry more, red liquor than a'ny man in the.To'rritory." The Southwestern Sto.kman has just entered upon tho seventh year ot its iiublieation.

Tho Stockman is the only ournal of its kind in the Territory and, despite the depression in tno stock: range industry, it is prospering, as it deserves to do. Mr. Hunsnker is giving the people of Wilcox a paper of they have occasion to be proud. Says the Ouray Solid Muldoon: "Albert K. Cutting, tho rpmancer who wanted to whip some months since, waH severely beaten.by his wife at Spckano Falls, last week.

C. had declined to Hupport, the printer any longerKana(1in, resorting to force, lie underestimated her abilities as a thumper. Would there wero more Mrs. Cuttings." The death of Ottomar II, Rothackcr, which occurred, at Omaha a few' days ago," removed from journalism one of its most shining lights. In tlio use of pure English ho had few equals, and he was a clear, logical thinker, as well as rhetorician.

Though he detested, the ordinary routing of newspaper work, his twenty years' service in the sanctum left the impress of his individuality on the journalism of the west Beginning his career in the nomc- oi nis boyhood, Cincinnati, he worked successively in Louisville, Denver, Colorado, and finally at Omaha. IIio lifo was a wild and stormy one, the natural outworking of so impulsive a nature. Tho end was not in keeping with the natural hopes that, talent so great justified. The writer, who engaged him. in many; a to, see 'some of the Irving coyotes, kicking tho dead lion.

Roth, had his faults, but he had virtues that'more than counterbalanced them. Those ho knew intimately will be content to "write his faults in the rsands of thVsea, and engrave his virtues on tne tablets ot memory." W. ll. Taylor, President. S.
