Chairman MeCord authorizes The Republican to say that a county com mittee meeting will soon be held to is- sue call for a county convention. It is not difficult to secure the attendance of the members of county commit tee. and it has been the custom to call a meeting for this purpose. On the contrary in the case of the territorial committee it is so expensive to hold a meeting that it is the custom for the chairman to issue the call after con- sultation with party men, as Judge Kfhbey proposes to do.

IMPORTANT COPPER DEAL. Bond Taken on the Rosemont Mine
 Near Tucson

Tucson Star: An important mining deal was closed yesterday MT. Geo. L. Thompson, the New York expert, acting for Lewiston Bros, of New York, took bond on the Rosemont mine owned by J. L. Rose, Wm Shaw and Wm. McCleary The bond will be in force four months.
 The Rosemont is a valuable copper property and there is little doubt that on the expiration of the bond it will pass into the hands of the Lewiston Bros. The fact that these gentlemen have obtained even temporary control of the mine is encouraging.
 There will be hum about Rosemont for the next four months and then probably the humming will be still louder. These are the gentlemen who bought the Old Dominion mine at Globe about six months ago, paying something more than a million and a half dollars
 Mining men here believe that this is only the beginning of a great move ment in valuable copper properties in this vicinity. The outlook was never more encouraging for Tucson. With the Copper Queen Consolidated in pos session of the Mineral Hill mines and the Lewiston Bros. in control of the Rosemont, and copper steadily advanc-

THE FRANKNEss OF A FRIEND

MT. Cleveland's very particular friend and betimes confidential ad- wiser, MT. E. IC. Benedict, is of the opinion that Growers thoughts are directed with the tenderest longing towards the outer gates of the White House." and that for no consideration could he be tempted to become the nominee of his party for a third term.
 And it is also the opinion of MT. Benedict that it will be impossible for the Democratic candidate to win, who- ever he may be. He thinks Governor Campbell of Ohio, would be as good a man as any to be had for sacrifice in the coming campaign and that sooner or later he will have the nomination.
 These are the frankly stated conclu- sions of one who enjoys exceptional op- portunities for observation and who is as well qualified as anybody else, if not even better, to voice the purposes and opinions of Cleveland himself The expressions were made use of in a carefully prepared interview for the correction of an unauthorized publi- cation which preceded it, and can therefore be relied upon as verbally correct.
 If he had proceeded further he would probably have said that future history would show that for period of three score years or more Grover Cleveland was the only Democrat in the White House, and that he left it in the face of the assurances of his party that he could again be named for the place if he would give his con- sent. And students of that history will draw the natural inference that there was no other Democratic citizen in all the'broad land who enjoyed the confidence of the people to a sufficient extent to get there
 The presidents confidante might go still further and say that the contem- plation of this probable historic entry is not at all distasteful to MT. Cleve~ land himself.

ing with remote prospect of its re- ceding, a roseate picture is spread be fore Pima county.
 That it will be a long time before copper goes back, if indeed it ever does, mining men are confident. The failure of the spectators to drive the metal back to the price from which it bounded last summer Is a sign that their strength has been exhausted be- fore a growing demand. Therefore the present rise is said to be not only nat ural, but uncomfortable. MT. l.. Zeck- endorf who is now in Tucson, speaking of late fluctuations in the copper mar ket, says there is no other metal which has been so manipulated by specu- lators. AS long as old conditions were in force it was a comparatively easy matter to affect its value, but when it began to go up from cents last Sep tember under the influence of increas- ing number of uses for it the specu- iators had a hard time to force it back. They succeeded in doing so, though not back to the minimum figure from which it started Within the past two weeks it has gone up from g to Il cents and the prediction is made with confidence that within month it will reach the highest point touched last fall.

tAIBUsE OF DEGRiEBs.

State Senator Garfield, son or the late president, is already making name for himself in the legislative body of his native state. MT. Garfield has proposed a bill which will com mend itself to the friends of education in every state, being aimed at an abuse that has made what was designed to be mark of distinction, in many in- stances jest and a byword.
 In Ohio there are thirty-f1Ve insti- tutions that have the power to confer degrees; but of the entire number there is not one that has a reputation extending beyond the limits of the state 1t has Iong been a standing re- proach to that great commonwealth that it has such considerable num- Der of alleged colleges that are merely degree factories"
 MT. Garfield proposes that all of these colleges shall be called up and examined as to their fitness to confer degrees. He has prepared a bill to create a state college and university council of ten members, appointed by the governor, who shall pass upon the fitness of each college to confer de- gress, and upon their report must rest the standing of the institution.
 Of late years the college degree fad has been as much abused as the title of "professor" We are surrounded by doctors" and masters" of all sorts and descriptions. We live in an ar oma of degree wisdom. Young men and old, especially clergymen, are filled with the degree hunting craze. We find that an ordinary young preacher, distinguished neither for ability nor learning, bobs up before his awe-stricken congregation as a doctor" and the happiness of the minister is complete. The degree may come from a remote and obscure col 1ege, but the holder has it, and for all visible purposes it is as valuable to him as though it had come from liar ward, or Yale or Johns Hopkins.
 The ordinary degrees are, however. about exhausted, and every once in a while a new-fangled and bandangled degree is sprung upon us as a start ling surprise. Unfortunately, the holders of the high sounding degrees do not write the name of the college that confers them, and so the public is left in more bewilderment. It may be that the new degree man possesses some scholarly traits of which the public knows nothing until a famous or humble institution found him out" Stuu luollS u uiS lCdl uCu iUl U w
 The degree abuse is twofold. Col ieges that are reputable abuse their powers. and then there are seekers af- ter the degrees Often a college mere 1y to make a friend, will confer a de- gree, hoping that it will prove, indi- rectly of pecuniary benefit. Often the S seekers for honorary degrees conduct q regular political canvass to accomp- fish their end. Really learned men do not bother much about degrees.
 It is to be hoped that MT. Garfeld's s bill will prevail There is no better state in the Union in which to try such law, and its success in Ohio might lead to the appointing of similar

Few Changes in the Rules.

Washington. Jan. 9.-The changes in the house code of rules prevailing in the fifty-first congress proposed by the com mittee on rules. as expected, are few in number, and but one Is of any great consequence. That relates to the count ing of quorum. The method pursued by Speaker Reed in the fifty-frst. con gress has been abandoned and the follow ing, which ]. Randolph Tucker proposed in the fortyseventh congress, substituted: : ''Whenever quorum fails to vote on any question and a quorum is not pres >ent and objection is made for that cause, there shall be a call of the house and the sergeant-at-arms shall forth with proceed to bring in absent members and the yeas and nays on the pending question shall at the same time be con sidered as ordered The clerk shall call the roll and each member as he answers to his name may vote on the pending question, and after the roll call Is com pleted each member arrested shall be brought by the sergeant-at-arms before the house. whereupon he shall be noted as present, discharged from arrest and given an opportunity to vote and his vote shall be recorded. If those voting on the question and those who are pres ent and decline to vote shall together make majority of the house the speaker shall declare that quorum Is const- tuted, and the pending question shall be decided as the majority of those voting shall appear. And thereupon further proceedings under the call shall be con sidered dispensed with"

The Gresha,n Raw Demonstrated.

Because in all ordinary business mat
tiers the best quality of goods sold at a
certain price invariably drives out an
inferior quality sold at the same price.
the silverites deny that if under 10 to
free coinage law silver forced gold out
Of use it would show that the silver
money was worth less than the gold.
IF, " they ask, "a good quality of -four
or tea drives out inferior goods, why
does not the same rule apply to money!"
That it does not is due TO the fact that
whereas goods of all kinds are sold on
their own merits, cheap kind of money
is forced on the public by laws which
make it legal tender. This is clearly
shown in the operation of the Sherman
silver purchase law, under which legal
tender notes representing silver bullion
were issued. The effect of that law ON
the kind of money used in paying GUS
toms duties at the principal port of en-
try in the United States is stated as fol-
lows by ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Charles Foster in a recently published
letter: "The Sherman law alarmed the
financial centers as to the disposition of
the government to maintain gold pay
nents.
"Then, i'll the financial centers, the
quality of our money was critically con-
sidered. While gold, silver and treasury
notes are legal tender, yet the fact is,
silver is the least valuable, and treasury
notes not SO valuable as gold.
"Under the alarming conditions re-
ferred to the Gresham law was put to
test under the severest possible condi-
tions and was found to be infallible.
Customs dues were paid in silver, in the
main, and in treasury notes. Gold pay
ments for customs dues practically
ceased"
For the fiscal year 1901 the gold re-
ceipts at the New York custom house
were $110, 800, 600; for 1912 they
were $31, 600, 900, and for 1923 only
SO. 400, 600. The cheaper money was
used instead Of gold, the dearer, as it
always will be.
