Arizona, iu lauding his town and
state, and descanting on the wonderful
rlobes of the regiou, declared that even

ago au assay was made of suudstoue
being used in the erection of some new
buildings, and the stone showed $4 per
ton lu gold and 20 cents per ton in
silver. It wouldn't pay to mine the
buildings of Prescott, but the boomer
won his bet.

An Interesting Political Debate,
Tbe most interesting political debate
of the coming campaign was held in
Miller's ball In this city, last Saturday
evening, on the question: "Resolved:
Tbat Populist principles must prevail
or revolution will result."
C. B. Montague contended for tbe
affirmative, and C. D. Steen for the
negative. Mr. Montague held forth
in a flood of 'fervid eloquence for an
hour, giving the political definition of
the word "Revolution," the Inherent
right of a people to engage In revolu
tion, quoting Maoaulay as the author
who said, "The violence of revolutions
are proportioned to the degree of mal
administration of the governments
that produced them."
Mr. Montague then dwelt on the
spirit of liberty of tbe early colonists
and the causes leading up to the revo
lution of 1776, quoted the Declaiation
of Independence and showed that the
constitutions of the new states derived
their authority solely and directly
from the people. The wrongs we are
suffering under now are far greater
than those the revolutionary fathers
successfully rebelled against.
Sequestration of millions upon mil
lions of acres of public lands, the
heritage of all tbe people; the demone
tization of silver and all tbe woes
consequent on that infamous crime;
tbe trusts; syndicates; bonds; money
power; oppression of tbe laboring
classes; calling out the military at tbe
request of (he wealthy corporations;
Delis. Where under the blighting
rule of republicans or Democrats has
the laboring man any chance ot better
ing bis condition? Echo answers
'where?"
Then tbe late dead, and we hope
damned, republican legislature of Ore
gon came in for some scathing sen-1
tenoes from the lips of the speaker, its
unparalleled extravagance, tbe out
rageous squandering of tbe money of
the people, the wives and daughters of
senators drawing pay as clerks, a dis
grace to the state, and the best object
lesson to exemplify the fact that rep
resentatives do not represent.
No remedy for all these evils seems
possible except through tbe Initiative
aud Referendum let all the people
vote on those propositions in which all
tbe people are interested; but that
amendment will never be peaceably
engrafted into our Constitution. Tbe
money power will always defeat it.
Nothing but tbe n ight of American
manhood can ever accomplish this
most desirable result, and then only
through revolution.
Mr. Steen paid a glowing tribute to
the gentleman on the affirmative side,
whose arguments he did not attempt
to disprove, but rattier to cliuch. At
tbe close of bis well chosen words an
invitation was extended to any who
desired to ome forward and sign their
adherence to the Ouiaha Platform and
thus become members of the Populist
club of Lebanon. About 30 additional
names were added to tbe club.

fluence over the condemned boy, and

penned tbe following letter and at night
gave it out for publication :
Albany, unn (jo. ,ur., Jan, 30, vm.
Dsas Brothers and Sisters: I take
this last oportunity of w riting to you a
few lineB. I feel as though I roust send
to you one more message before my
time arrives to cross that dais river,
although my mind is not as clear as 1
would like to have it to write this last
letter to you all, and besides ray nerves
is somewhat unstrung this morning. I
fully realize that this is my last day on
this earth ; only a few hours more and I
will be no more here below, and I feel
when my soul departs irom my Body
that my name will appear on that great
register in heaven, and when the great
judgment day comes I will answer to it.
I cannot find words sufficient to explain
my feelings and situation. This life
seems to me like a dream, in fact life is
nothing but a dream; but remember,
dear brothers and sisters, that when we
depart from this life here below we must
be prepared to gain that eternal lite on
high, where there is no sin and sorrow.
And dear sister you told me you have
joined the church of God. I trust and
hone you will keep your promise to me
and live up to God's word and be bis
faithful servant until the end, that you
may wear a crown of glory in the world
to come.
And, dear brothers, I wish to repeat
to you what I have said before; stop and
tmna peiore it is too late, mat you may
b aelivered from darkness into light. I
trust and hope that you may live a long
and happy Christian life. I feel as
though the prayers for me has been
heard and answered and hope when
vour time is near at hand to die you all
can say the same, and I hope that the
good Christian people will extend a
word lor you all in their prayers a well
as me.
It seems to me hard to leave vou all
so young in life in such a way ae I have
to go, out as long as it has to be done
tbe sooner it is over the better. I am
ready to say "Jesus take me as I am."
I am ready to go and meet our father
and mother in heaven, and I hope when
your tune comes mat we win all meet
around that bappy throne where the
word tareweil is never used, and
when the race of this life is run our
Master can say, "Well done, my faith
ful servant."
Then why should we Bigh or fear to die,
When truetian in Jeuutt upou high.
Though we here should meet ao more,
Yet there is a brighter shore,
There released iron) toil ttu.l puio,
There we all may meet Kgttiu.
Now, dear ones, I will briug this to a
close. When this readies you, and oe-
foie your eyes follow these, my last
lines to you, I will be cold in death. I
feel that niv prayers have been
answered, so God be with you all, We
will meet in heaven. Farewell; fare
well, Lloyd Montoomihy.
