Referring to the profits derived from profits are enjoyed today by 56.OOO,6O0 enjoyment no monopoly IS created. The internal competition which takes place does away with everything like monopoly. and by degrees reduces the prices of articles to the minimum of reasonable profit on the capital en- ployed- It IS impossible to point to single monopoly in the United States that has been created or fostered by the industrial system. which is upheld by the Republican party.

for the mere love of it, goes great way to debauch the public conscience. There are thousands of young men who are wrongly educated in politics by every such campaign. Many of them, as their fathers before them, will retire from any active participation in public affairs from sheer disgust with the trickery and downright dishonesty which is rife in the campaign.
 In the midst of all this defamation 1t may be well to call to mind the fact that the two candidates now named for the highest office in the gift Of the people stand for something more than mere personal qualities. They are supposed to represent great political principles, and some of them radically diverse in their operation. Many years ago there was an old political waschword-"Prin- ciples not Men" The issues are greater than the men. Two public policies have been outlined by the two great parties. One IS better than the other. The dis cussion of these policies cannot be too earnest and searching. One of the great parties went to the wall nearly q quarter of century ago with James Buchanan as President, and disunion and treason nourished both in the ad- ministration and in the party. The otLer came into power in the face of such terrible antagonism that even the President elect had to be smuggled into the capital. Did he escape in any wise the storm of personal and political abuse? Two Republican Presidents have been sssassinated in office. Each was the target for every offensive missile which party hate could devise. It not strange, therefore, ths. the latest Re publican candidate for that high office should encounter the same storm of po- htical obloquy. But when it is all over the candidate will turn out to be just the same sort of a man that he was when Garfield selected him for the high office of Secretary of State.

THE Territorial Democratic Central Committee have decided to hold their party convention at Phenix. They dis regarded the request of the County Central Committee. In fact, MT. Rowe and few other members of that com mittes have ignored the southern mem- bers of their party and gone right ahead and applied the lash and cracked the whip and made theIr southern brethren dance to theIr music. Another fact: The southern members of the Demo cratic party of this Territory have had nothing to say 50 far in the campaign, and it looks very much like they would not be allowed to say anything in the future. There are several Democratic aspirants for Delegate to Congress, but take our advice and don't spend much coin upon the prospects. Rowe and his fellow workers have got the pins all set up, and they don't think anybody can knock them down.

EMERsoN's AMERIcANIsM.

Emerson's Americanism, therefore, was Americanism in its last and puIest analysis, which is giving him high praise, and to America great hope. But do not mean to pay him, who was so full of modesty and humility, the un- grateful compliment of holding him up as the permanent American ideal. It is his tendencies, his quality, that are valuable, and only in minor, incipIeDt degree his actual results. All human results must be strictly limited, and ac- cording to the epoch and outlook Emerson does not solve for all time the problem of the universe; he solves nosh- ing; but he does what is far more use ful-he gives a direction and an impetus to lofty human endeavor. He does not anticipate the lessons and the discipline af the ages, but he shows us how to deal with circumstances in such a manner as to secure the good instead of the evil influence. New conditions, fresh dis coyeries. uneXpected horizons opening before us, will, no doubt, soon carry us beyond the scope of EmersOn's surmise; but We shall not so easily improve upon his aim and attitude. In the spaces be- yond the stars there may be msrvels such as 1t has not entered into the mind of man 10 conceive; but there, as here, the right way to look will still be up- ward, and the right aspiration be still toward humbleness and chsrity.-Julian Hawthorne, in The Manhattan for August.

PHES1x has secured the Democratic When we lose m contest we are generous enough, we hope' 10 shake hands with the victor. But we want to say to the Territorial Hepuo- lican Committee that the convention should be held in Tucson, not Tor any benefit that may be supposed to be derived in favor of local candidates, but because it is easiest of access to the greatest number of delegates. The greatest number can reach Tucson by Tail. or at least B part of the way by some and all the way by others. A number can reach without staging It at all. on the other hand ALL will have to stare it all or part of the way to PheniA' therefore Tucson IS more desirable from that point of view. While We will moi make comparisons otherwise, leaving others to their opinions,the least we can say is that all our facilities are equal to those of that thriving and interesting c;.v If there were any reasons why the convention should not be held here VIC should like to know them. Our orethrei are not afraid of us, we hope. 1T Vt sbould have a candidate for delegate t' Congress. we guarantee that no nd vantage will or can be taken because ,be convention is here.

THE INDEX is not careful in its state ment about the amount of Pima coun- tvs taxation. The S37,000 school tax IS not county tax and does in no wise lm- pair or improve the credit of Pima coun- ty. The narrow gauge railroad bonds are exchanged for county bonds. The interest on these bonds are paid by the company. The amount Of taxes the company will pay when the road IS iin- ished, land not another dollar of these bonds will be issued until the amount of road required by law is built ready for the rolling stock, will be greatly to the benefit of the taxpayers generally. If the road is built and running the county can well afford to exchange bonds, as the county will be largely the gainer in wealth. and private property will be worth much more, and what IS better. it will open up s market that We are Lot likely to have unless the road IS built

CIVIL SERVICE.

On the question of Civil Service, NIT. Blaine says: The growth of the country has continually and necessarily enlarged the civil service until 1t includes a vast body of officers. The rules and methods of appointments which prevailed when the Dumber was smaller have been found insufficient and impracticabie, and earnest efforts have been made to sepa- rate the great mass of ministerial off cers from partisan influence and per sonal control Impartiality m the mode of appointment to be carried on qualIh- cations, and the security of tenure to be based on faithful discharge of duty, are the two ends to be accomplished.
