The Cuban Policy.

The Cuban policy adopted by the Admin
LFtration Of President McKinIeyis is generally
being mentioned in the press As a continua-
ton Of that OF his predecessor in office
Such view, we think, is calculated to
doinjustice to the President, and unneces-
sarily to dcpress the friends Of the Cuban
Republic in the United States. AS far
as we can Judge the attitude of the = dmin-
lstration, it amounts to a reversal Of the
policy pursued by Cleveland and Olney in
al essential particulars.
In the first place Mr. Mckinley has
given unniStakahle though courteous no
tice to Spain that treaty rights and con-
siderations OF humanity must be respected
fn relation to American citizens, or those
Claiming to be such, in the Island of Cuba.
There is not a shadow OF doubt that he
means all that the English language is
Capable OF conveying when he says this to
Mr.. Dupuy de Lone, and the sudden change
OF conduct on the part OF Captain General
weyler is evidence that the hint is ac-
cepted with the full conviction that it is
loaded primed. and cooked Except in
the not Impossible event Of general
Spanish mutiny and massacre in Havana
II is probable that Americans Will fare
better in future than they have previously.
With regard 10 the question Of Cuban
recognition, 1t does not appear that this is
a matter OF vital import at the moment, as
long a the Administration does not CON.
TtitUte itself the ally and private detect
Ives of Spain, which is what Cleveland did.
Upon any basis short OF actual recognition
The present position perhaps is better and
more equitable than an intermediate one
would be. The Cuban patriots do not ask
recognition, though naturally they would
be reJoiced if 1t were extended, and we
do not suppose that they would particularly
care to be granted belligerency by thil
country. That would make it the duty OF
the government to prevent the sale Of arms
or munitions Of war to either party; where
ss. now, the United States could not ir
Justice prevent such sale. The Cubans have

Mass Meeting.

Arrangements are being made for mass
meeting at an early day at which the col
ored people, or a large body of that people,
will discuss the public schools OF the Dis
trict. The details will be arranged by q
committee, of which Mr.. o. c. Black is
chairman.
The discussion will turn largely on the
conduct of the schools for colored chill
dren 1t is understood that one of the
points, IN fact, the main point, to be
made is the discrimination against black

It VA. very shrcwd Southern
Senators voting for q tariff ON
cotton. The few growers of Sea
Island cotton will reap some adj
vantage from it and their crop is
perhaps two per cent Of the total
Southern cotton crop. Mean.
while, the Republican Senator's
argue that since manufacturers
must pay duty on imported cot.
ton, higher duties should be pluc-
ed upon all tho products Of the
cotton mills. So they propose TO
add a compensatory" extra duty
of ten per cent, for the one per
cent yielded to the cotton grow
crs.
Every farmer wears cotton
good. The duty ON the raw cot
ton will help a few farmers: the
the few who produce long staple
cotton ON the Sea Islands. Scna
tors Bacon, Clay, McLaurin and
Tillman have succeeded by their
espousal of protection aud bctray-
al of democracy in furnishing the
republicans with plausible ex-
cuse to tax in much greater degree
all the farmers of the South. As
they will discover when the prices
of cotton goods are marked up.
A plausible excuse is all that the
republicans desired and they got
it--by throwing crumb to gud-
geons.

simple enough to undertake to
beat fakjrs at tbeiI own game.

ONE of the first acts of the Supreme Court, after being organized, will prob ably be to return the Federal Court of the Second Judicial District to Flor ence, where it properly belongs, from which place it was removed as piece of spite work by judge who dragged the ermine in the dirt by so doing. Florence contains Court House and jail well fitted for doing the United States business, while the same cannot be said of the place to which the Court was removed. A jail, from which a condemned murderer recently escaped by digging through the walls with his
 finger nails, is hardly the place to con fine United States prisoners.

Important Purchase.
From the Tombstone Prospeotor.I

From the Tombstone Prospector.I -ys deal has been consumated by which the famous copper mines of Nacosari, sonora, have been transferred by the Gugenheims of Monterey, to a naw syndicate of Americans composed in part of the firm of Phelps, Dodge 6 Co.,, of New York, who are the owners of the Copper Queen Con. mines of Bisbee.
 The deal means a great deal to the copper pfoducing industry of the country in general and to Cochise county in particular. The building of railroad, or rather the extension of the Arizona and South Eastern. from Bisbee to the mines, will be one of the first moves under the new management, toward the rehabilita- tion those famous mines; as it is generally conceded that if the pro- perty had received such careful and economic management as has always characterized the Copper Queen, they might have been made dividend pay ing long ago; but lack of facilities have been too heavy a handicap and the transfer of title will no doubt, soon demonstrate the truthfulness of this assertion.
 A reconnaissance having for its ob- ject the permanent location of the line of survey is now being made, and since the Copper Queen people have taken hold we confidently expect to hear of the beginning of construction within n very short period
 The ores, which are rich sulphide, will probably be run into matte and shipped to the works at Bisbee for further refinement.

The NewIy-AppoIntea Judiciary.
LFrom the Tncson stnr |


 Telegrams announcing the appoint ment by the president of the following named gentlemen to compose the iu- dietary of Arizona, were received in Tucson yesterday afternoon: Hiram c. Trnesdale, chief justice; George R. Davis, for the first judicial district 1; Fletcher M. Doan, second district, and Richard E. Sloan, fourth district. Judges Truesdale and Davis are com paratively recent acquisitions to our territory, they both dating their acquaintance with Arizona at some per- iod during last winter, when they reached Phoenix. Soon after Judge Truesdale was admitted to the bar of Maricopa county, but so far as we are informed, he did not attempt to enter into practice, being understood to be interested in some irrigation enterprise of that section. He is from Minnesota, and said to be an acqu aintance of At torney-General McKenua. Judge Davis is from Ohio, and said to be personal fsiend of President Mckinley and also of Senator Hanna. He is about 37 years of age, and was during the cam paign of '96 member of the Republi- can state central committee. From those who have met these gentlemen in Phoenix we gather that they brought with them from their former homes the reputation of ability and standing in their profession. Personally they have favorably impressed those with whom they have been brought in con tact, and if, as stated, they are per sonally known to-the higher officials responsible for their appointment, it is but reasonable to suppose the ap- pointees are fully capable and worthy of the appointments.
 Judge Doan is by no means a stran- ger in Arizona. For eight or nine years he has been a resident of Pinal county, and filled the office of district attorney in that county in the years lS95-6. He has not been active in pol itics, nor especially so in the practice of his profession, giving his attention largely to his agricultural and irriga- tion interests. Personally and profes- sionally he has the confidence and re- spect of those who best know him. He is from Missouri Originally from the state of ohio) and said to be per sonal friend and formerly warm polit- ical supporter of that Republican war horse chauncey I. Filley, of that state.
 Judge Sloan is so well known here that it is unnecessary to refer to his record.
