SOMETHING should be done to put a stop to the calf stealing go- ing on in Southern Pima county The trouble seems to be the diff culty of conviction, which makes the thieves bold. The cause of this difficulty is the excessive pen alty. An average jury balks at sending a man to the penitentiary for the term of five years for steal ing a ten dollar calf, when were the crime misdemeaner instead ot a felony, the offenders would go to jail six months or so, and in little time the trouble would be com pletely stopped.

 At Prescott, Tuesday, the ter ritorial republican convention nam ed candidate for delegate to con gross who is invincible. and will be elected iI November by the heav- jest majority ever before given a delegate from Arizona. Colonel A. O. Brodie, one of the heroes of Santiago, was strong man in Ari- zona before his military fame was achieved. With that added be is a an ideal candidate. Taking in con nection herewith the fact that his opponent is one of the weakest and most unpopular men in Arizona, Colonel Brodie is assured of a walkover. This is a republican year anyway, which will make Colonel Brodie's victory all the more pronounced.

 We congratulate the republicans n, Pima county on the fact that they are united, and that the earnest and honest desire Of all of us Is to nom. mate men who can be trusted with public affairs, who will accept an office as a public trust, and whose names and characters will be platform in and of themselves. guaranteeing economy, honesty and faithful service. and with these we pledge hearty. united and an earnest support.

 As American citizens. although resident in territory, we believe that we are entitled to all the rghte and privileges enjoyed by those res iding in states We believe that we should be admitted to statehood; but, failing in this. we believe that we should be given tue right to select our territorial officers, aud the judges Of our courts, in the same manner as we now select our county officers, aud we strongly adhere to the true Am erican doctrine that he who shall receive majority vote of our own people shall alone be elegibe to serve.
 We condemn the dlsgracefu record of the last democratic legislature ef Arizona, which Dy Juggling win statutes, turned loose without tral persons under indictment for homicide and which also legalized the illegal and dishonest acts of defaulting coun' " officials
 In unmeaSured terms we desire to express our condemnation of the uismanagementof of county affairs by the democratic officials Of Pima coun- ty: and We pledge our republican candidates to an earnest effort to reform the abuses of the past and to give tous conservative. economical and honest administration.
 Tn conclusion. we take the liberty ot expressing the hope that the repu0- licans of Pima county will unite with us iu the earnest aud honest support of our candidates and will work not so much for individuals as for 8 straight ticket. If they will ao this we can promise them that Pima county will once more enroll hersell as d republican county, which eyery tarpayer and honest man in tue county should most heartily desire

THE LINE OF CAMPAIGN.

New York. May Si.-A Tribune special
from Washington says;
The president told some callers tonight
tMonday) that he expected Commodore
Schley TO attack Cervera within twenty
four hours. General Miles made no secret
before leaving Washington OF the imme-
dlate departure OF the army from Tampa.
though he declined TO encourage any spec-
ulation as TO It's destination for obvious
military reasons. II Is known however,
that ever since the fret reports announc-
ng the arrival OF the Spanish squadron at
SANTIAGO last Saturday night he has been
thoroughly alive to the practical pro-
hibitive dangers which would have TO be
encountered by an American feet In fight
INK ITS way past the elevated batteries and
up the narrow and tortuous channel or
that harbor to force battle with the
Spanlards and he steadily urged upon
the authorities the necessity OF a land
attack on the place as the quickest ana
most effective method OF dealing Spain a
crushing blow. His plans have been fully
matured with that end in view. and the
only question on which the departure or
the army from Tampa rested was that
OF Cervera's lndisputa0le presence at SAN

sufficient power to prevent his egress ana

ascertain that their formidablllty has
been greatly exaggerated and determine
to force his way into the harbor and COM
plete the wreck without the assistance.
Should this occur, the feet OF transports
and warships In the Windward passage
would quickly secure the news from
scout ships and the alternative destination
OF Porto Rico would at once be known.
The promptness wiIn which the depar-
ture Of the army from Tampa has been
Effected after the last doubt OF Cervera's
presence at Santiago was removed will,
perhaps. not be known Tor several days.
although confidence Is expressed that the
celeritv Of the movement win prove re-
markable. In fact, Il Is lntimated in
high official quarters that several OF the
transports have already reached the rem
devious at Key West II. indeed, the
entire fleet Is not alrea0y on the way.
At Key West an effective addition to the
landing force has been provided in the ma
rine corps battalion in the transport
Panther. This force is composed OF
trained men, especially drilled to land
under fire. and Il Is expected 70 be the
first force ashore wherever the attack is
made.
General Miles counts on the active sup
port Of the insurgent General Garcia, who
was visited by Lieutenant Rowan and TO
whom oouriers have already been sent
Informing HIM OF the purpose to Invest
Santiago should necessity arise to destroy
Ceryera's fleet. Colonel Hernandez OF
Garcla's STAFF who accompanied Lleuten-
ant Rowan to Washington. has been con-
stantly consulted by General Miles for
the last three or four days, giving him
invaluable Information regarding Santiago
province and they will accompany the ex-
redlti0n from tampa and act as guides
for the army after the landing is effected.
General Miles dlspelled all doubts as to
his own active part In the expedition by
announcing that he would be able to en-
bark at Tampa on Wednesday on one OF
the fastest small cruisers which viii take
him quickly to the scene Of operations.
The size OF the force to be landed near
Santiago does not exceed l5,OO0 men, OF
whom 1t is expected not exceeding 5000
will take part in the seige. the others
oelng held in reserve for use II extraor-
dinary resistance is eneoutered. The OUT
look, however is for quick and decisive
action and there is confidence among mil
itary men that the city will fall in ten
days. II is not the intention of General
Miles to remain at Santiago an unneces-
sary hour after the capitulation Of that
port and the surety of accomplishment
of the purpose OF the invasion. on the
contrary, most OF the troops will re-em-
bark on the transports and the combined
military and naval forces will proceed
directly 10 Porto Rico. being reinforced
for this purpose by additional troops from
Tampa, These reInforcements win consist
largely of volunteers Including those who
have exhibited the highest efficiency
among the commands now at Camp
Thomas, Chickamauga park.
Perhaps some OF these commands will
reach Key West about the time the main
expedition starts from there and they will

to destroy him If he attempted to reach
tho open sea.
In the transports at Tampa, in addition
to the large quantities of supplies needed
by tho army whatever its destination,
have been stored a number OF powerful
selge guns, which will be effective for
shelling the entire basin In which the

REVENUE TARIFF FOR MANILA.

As result OF the Investigation the
treasury department has been making
into the question Of tariff for the Phil

button during the occupation of the ISL

mlnistration has practically decided 10
enforce the existing Spanish schedules
only with such changes as circumstances
may make necessary. The experts OF the
customs service have made an exhaustive
study Of the Spanish tariffs with special
reference to the course to be pursued in
the Philippines and the results Of these
labors have been laid before the president
by Secretary Gage.
The first proposition was to adopt a
new tariff drawn from the American
model. as was done when this country
occupied Tampleo during the Mexican
war. In that case which has had fur
