just as they were before that wave
swept over. 1t is admitted, however.
by many OF the stauncheet supporters
of the other Candidates that few more
waves like that would make Gov. Nc.
kinley's nominstion a certainty. OF
course bis supporters insist that his
nomination is already assured, and
some OF them are even saying that they
wouldn't be surprised to see the thing
made unanimous by the withdrawal of
all the other candidates. The support
ere OF the other candidates say that Gov
McKinley's greatest danger arises from
his great strength; that he is strong
enough to lead the field, but not strong
enough to be nominated on the first
ballot.

SOUTH AFRICA.
An Inter esting Communication from

A letter wss received in this city

months ago. His impressions OF Johan-

II can tell you this is immense place

the Lord knows how many blacks. The
mines extend for q space of 100 miles
On either side of town, and are all big
properties, mostly paying dividends.
The rock is mostly low grade, going
about So ton. The work is ell done
by negroes and bossed by white men.
The majority CT the men here are
English. There are about 1000 or 5000
Americans here In South Africa. There
are American managers at most Of all
the big mIues The business here ls
nearly all carried on by the Jews, they
controlling nearly all branches. We
have q stock exchange and money is
made and lost very quickly.

streets wide. There are no sewers here

but / suppose that will change some
day. The postal department here is
fearful. They are very careless AID half

'Tne prices of things are not so high,
but every thing is sold by auction. The
farmers haul their produce in or OK

AN era of public Improvements has
set in in Tucson aud We have reason to
believe that there will be neither halting
nor turning back. The latest move in
the right direction is the opening Of a
new street between Stone avenue and
Msiu ste This will be done by wild
sning Maiden Lane and continuing 1T
through to Main street. 1t is the pur-
pose of the promoters to cut thirty feet
from the buildings on the west side OF the
Lane and thus increase the width of the
street to sixty feet. If this is done it
will, to say the least, make it one Of the
most prominent business streets 10 the
:ity. The new chamber Of commerce
has the measure in hand and will, it ls
understood, push it to finish.

The people of Arizona should know
that Congressman Taft OF Ohio of the
house committee op territories is the
bitterest enemy of statehood in con-
gress today. He Is not only bitter but
unfair and persistent in his attacks and
e;oops to belittle the people OF the ter
ritories and abuse them "a unworthy
the rights and privileges of American
citizens. Ii Mr.. Mckinley wants a vote
from the territories in the St Louis
convention he will at once proceed to
change Mr.. Tafts position to the support
OF measures looking to statehood II
NJ. Taft is voicing Mr.. Mckinley e
sentiments on statehood, and the gov
errors hosts OF friends hopes he is not,
then Mr.. Mckinley will lose the terri
torial vote As sure as the sun sets, and
Mr.. Taft will continue to abuse and be-
little Arizona in congress and TO deprive
the people of their rights.-Phoepix

An Early Conner.

In 1892 when the late G. Columbus
discovered this country he was surpris.
ed to find the natives of dark red color.
He thought they would be surprised at
the sight of white man. When be
had learned their language he asked
them if they bad never seen a white
man before. An old chief told him thst
to the west across sea and land many
moons travel, where two mighty rivers
met, at the spot where tradition ssid the
devil had moulded the hinges of hell. in
vIllsge known as You-Msy, dwelt a
white man named Dorrington, peace
fully engaged in the publication of a
newspaper. Cortez, when he sacked
Montezuma's palace, found q file of pa
pers, the Sentinel, in the royal library.
When Coronado reached Colorado, he
found Dorrington he'd the county pint
ing grabbed. He Immediately started a
new paper to divide the patronage. CO.
ronado went busted when he prirted
the land cffice notice for the original Ps-
ralts. Baron OF AriZouac, and got beat
out OF bis pay. Dorrington bought 10
the Coror ado of6cs aAtise .heriff's sale
ard piled the outfit up il bic back yard.
Since then, governors, congressman,
judges, railroads, water comr anies and
irrigation companies hsve started parers
at the confluence of the Gila and the
Colorado. DOrrioRton has purchased
them all from the sheriff ami piled them
up III his back yar1. Now new csndi
date for fame and bankruptcy has 8p-
peared on the scene 10 the person of a
red headed school director, who propos-
to start new paper. This is too
much I r Darlington. A red headed
school director for q rival Ugh! The
worm has turned. The back yard is
filled. Dorringtop now swears he will
not help out another bankrupt print
shop. The sheriff has received the last
bud from him. If another paper is etart-
ed it at the peril OF the starter. He is
Liberal.
Every word of the foregoing is true,
bat it must be born 10 mind that it was
an inducement held forth by the CITI-
ZEN that brought John to the country

WILLIAM SBILLIAN, of Benson, is out
in protest against threatened star
chamber proceedings by the Cochise
county repu blicsps. From what can be
learned several schemes are afoot to
send a close delegation to Phoenix
without going before the people.
Against these Sbilh M protests aDo
rightly maintains that preference should
be expressed at the primaries. Unless
it is done the threat to even up at the
next general election will probably be
made good. The warning should be
needed by every good republican. The
suspicion of wrong dong can Only be
avoided by steering clear of back room
delegations and submitting to the will OF
the people.

| the printing for the various pubic H.

Glad to know, George, that you have

ing official fetness on republican Joo

ed that in the late ultra democratic ad-

the Star Office was strictly in it. The
CITIZEN Office is republican office and
justly claims to be one of the beet equip

we were not even allowed tyr
bid on the university bulletins, but
were told that such prIDting
was Star cffice perquisite and az such
it would go to them whether We bid on
il or not. When the writer demanded
of the regents ga fair deal" he was told
that iD case sealed bids were called for
and if upon opening them it was found
that the BID of the Star was anywhere
near that of the CITIZEN the Star would
at all times be- given the preference.
We know. furthermore that the Star
refused to bid on work
involving hundrt de Of dollars OF the
public money, but demanded that the
work be give q to them of right and they
would fix the price later on. Finally
We were not even given the cold priv

NEW MILITARY TELEGRAPH.
To be Placed Through the Country
Subject to Apache Raids.

Denver Repu ublicsn: Active steps
are being taken by the department oi
the Colorado to prevent ary repetition
by the renegade White Mountain
Apaches Of the recent outrsges perpe-
trsted by these savsges upon Arizona
settlers. The murder and mutilstlon
uf Alfred Hands, not far from San
Simon q few days ago, has determined
the department to push the extension
OF rhe United States army telegraph
lines from Cedar Springs, short dis
tsDce north of Fort Grant, into the
Gsiiuro mountains, throug which the
renegade Apaches make their escape
TO the Mexican border after one of
their raids into the United States terri
tory.
Work on the extension is to be CON-
menced within a week. TIE new line
will enable Col. e. V. Sumner. in COM
Wand of the Seventh cavalry, y. s. A,
AZ Fort Grant, to obtain immediate in-
fotmatlon OF any outrage committed
IN tbe territory south aud west Of the
San Carlos reservation. and send his
troops\ in speedy pursuit of the ma
rauders.
In equipiDg the new line materials
from a line between Fort Stanton, n.
VI, and Holorook, Ar!z., will be used.
Fort Stanton was abandoned last sum
mer, 50 the poles and wires that con
nected 1t with Holbrook are of no fur
'her use in their present position. On
the lob OF this month body of soldiers
will commence taking them down. As
rapidly rs possible they will then be
carried 10 Cedar Springs. and beginDio
at that point, c instruct on work will be
commenced on the projected telegraph
line. which is to be about sixty miles ID
length.
At p-eeent the military telegraph line
in Arizona runs from Holbrook, on the
Atlantic 4 Pacific, almost to Wilcox,
oD the S lutbern Pacific. 1t connects
the fr' Dtier military poets of San Carlos,
Fort i psche and Fort Grant with one
another, giving them all connection
wi b the railroads and the outer world.

from that point TO Dunlap's ranch, from
there through the Aravsipa can, on,
