NO LONGER ANY DOUBT.

While republicans have never en- tertained any doubts as to Col. Brodie's accepting the nomination for delegate to congress, m accord ance with his previously expressed agreement to do so, democrats have been trying to make themselves be lieye that he would accommodate them by declining Co run. Last Saturday Chairman c. R. Drake ot the Territorial Central Committee received a telegram which places the question beyond controversy.
 The telegram was dated at Halifax Nova Scotia, Sept. 24, and was signed Alex O. Brodie," and reads as follows:
 "I deeply appreciate the horor conferred upon me by the rePubli-
 cans of the territory of Arizona m
 nominating me as their candidate
 for delegate to congress. l accept
 the same as a sacred trust and shall
 do all in my power to prove myself
 worthy of the confidence reposed ID
 me. earnestly request the help of
 my friends and shall be in the terri
 tory at the earliest date possible. This telegram is terse and pointed
 and characteristic of the man. The request to his friends will be com piled with too and they will see that he is elected by a rousing ma iority. Col. Brodie has a host ol
 democratic friends scattered al over Arizona who will be found witt !, their coats of and sleeves rolled uE 2 working early and late for his cleo tion. As for republicans, they b are all his friends, and will worl with all their power to elect him. e Those erstwhile professedly dem U ocratic friends of his, who wer' 5 pleased to laud and praise him 10 . the purpose of trying to create dis cord in the republican party, nov u that Col. Brodie has shown himSel
 a true man, and true republican vii be found abusing him from now tlI '' election and will repudiate thei e former words of praise of him. 'l From expressions received iron " every part of the territory 1t is sal
 to predict that he will be elected b a very large majority, Not onl ' are the rank and file of the demo e cratic party, the great mass of vot n CTS who are unfettered by partisa Il preiudices, focking around his ban y ner but many men of prominence il y the party have openly avowed thei 't intention of working and voting 10 st him.
 O The republicans of the terriior le will support him to a man and wi d be found advancing in a solid co It umn to his support and when th D. votes are counted it will be sai d throughout the country that ArizC IS na proudly honored one ofthe bray

THE SUCCESSFUL POLITICIAN

The shrewd and successful po!iti- elan Is the one who is capable of grasping the trend of events and of doing the right thing at the right time. Mark Smith showed hls shrewdness in 1894, when he very wisely reIrsined from becoming sacrifice on the altar of his party as a candidate for delegate to con gress. When he again recently took a horoscope of the political situa- tion in this territory, and again re- fused to accept nomination at the hauds of his party, although he had a large majority of the convention in his favor, he demonstrated his political sagacity. Mark IS a born politician.
 Men who are not politicians, aud who do not know the most ele mentary rudiments of politics, bu who aspire to become politicians should initiate the example of thos' who are experts in the business, : they wish to achieve success. Col , Wilson is not a politician. It doubtful if even his most intimat friends would lay the accusation against him. In the line of doini the right thing at the proper time which, as stated, is the secret o political success, Col. Wilson shoul'

SampsOn,s p

The Baltimore Sun closes it's edi-
torial on the report of Admiral Samp-
son in the following:
In concluding his report to Admiral
Sampson, Commodore Schley says: q
congratulate you most sincerely upon
this great victory of the squadron un-
der your command, and I am glad that
1 had an opportunity to contribute in
the least to a victory that seems big
enough for us ALL" This is a singu-
larly fine sentiment and is what might
have been expected from so gallant an
officer as Commodore Schley. He has,
of course, not emphasized the value
of his own services in the great naval
battle, but has been quick to recog-
nize the skill and heroism of the COM
manders of the ships in the squadron.
Possibly Admiral Sampson may have
been of the opinion when he wrote his
report hat Commodore Schley's SER
vices in the engagement were so gen.
orally recognized by the feet that it
would be super1uous to direct the at
tention OF the Washington authorities
to his valor and skill in a more direct
and detailed manner. Accepting Com
modore Schley's statement that the
victory seems big enough for US ALL
his friends hope that he will get his
share OF its results when the honors
are distributed.

Guantanamo Bay. July ga fleet
bulletin just issued in regard TO the
investigation OF the effect OF the navy's
shells at the bombardment OF Santiago
says:
Twelve houses were completely
wrecked inside and one house was
burned. Sixteen S-inch shells struck
within three blocks Of the Gale de
Marina. These excavated the ground to
a depth OF about ten feet. The street
was m~acadamized-
cit is judged from the fact that
many of them struck near the waters
edge that a number Of the shells must
have gone into the bay. Army Off
GERS have stated that thirty or forty
went beyond the northern edge OF the
bay into the Spanish lines.
"A dozen or more of the shells had
not exploded. In four Of them the
base had been simply blown out. In
one case a 4 inch shell. which was
probably a stray shell fired In the
course Of demonstration at Aguadores
July 1st. had gone through a tree and
exploded in the ground beyond.
When the severe effect OF the s
inch shells is considered. il is a mat
ter for congratulation that it was not
necessary to continue the lombard

the squadron had prepared to do. The
effect of these latter would undoubtedly

WAR SHIPS OF THE UNITED1
STATES

That whatever the final outcome OF
the wal the United States will build
a larger navy and make it every way
equal to that of Russia, Germany,
France or Italy, if it is not now, is
almost assured in advance. The in
telligence Of this country will demand
that, and will be content with nothing
short Of it. Great Britain is now and
will long continue to be the great sea-
power-mistress of the seas as she has
been for more than two hundred and
fifty years. Her navy is necessarily
immense because she is a small coun-
try territorially with vast outlying
possessions. Her navy is nOt only
great in number, but her ships can
defeat the ships of any European ma
ton vessel for vessel of equal weight.
Her present navy is given at fifty-two
battleships, eighteen armored cruz
sers, ninety-six protected cruisers,
sixteen unprotected cruisers, eighteen
coast defense vessels and one hundred
and eighty-three torpedo vessels. In
process of construction she has eigh-
teen battleships, eight armored cruz
sers, twenty-four protected cruisers
and forty-six torpedo vessels. Her
navy is really in fighting strength
greater than that of Germany, Russia
and France combined. We do not
doubt that in a war at sea with all
three the end would be favorable to
Britain. The nav of Italy is about
as strong as Russia's, but hardly
equal TO that of Germany. At this
time the United States nave five bat
tleships, two armored cruisers, four
teen protected cruisers, eighteen I'M
protected cruisers, twenty-One coast
defense vessels and eight torpedo YES
sells. In process Of construction she
has eight battleships, eight armored
cruisers, one protected cruiser and
ffty-two torpedo vessels. In the next
five years they should greatly
strengthen the present navy. 1t will
be done. They are able to do it.
Let it be added that even English
men are praising very highly our wal
ships, and one recent writer contends
that our country not only now builds
the best sea fighters, but will ere long
revolutionize war ship-building, and
become the great constructors of the
world. Captain Philip, so justly
praised, is a great ship constructor.
New York was built throughout un-
der his direction, and he Overhauled
and improved the Texas.

Uew York. July 81 Lieutenant
obs arrived early today from Nor
ristown, n. J.. and went at NICE to the
offices OF the Merritt & Chapman
wrecking Company. where he was in
consultation with the officers OF the
company for two hours. At the end
OF the conference he aid that the con-
tracts for the raising OF the wreck OF
the Cristobal Colon were about con-
Guided.
The contracts. OF course. must be
approved by the judge advocate gen
eral OF the naval construction board"
he said. They are not fully complet-
ed. I go 70 Washington tonight and
will know more about my future plans
after / have seen the officials there.
The air bags with which IL is proposed
to raise the ship will probably be con
~structed by n rubber company in New
York. They will measure about Skis
feet and viii have a capacity OF
about thirteen tons each. Fontoons or
the size required 10 assist in raising
the ship viii probably be constructed
at once"
When asked If there was any truth
in the report that he was engaged tn
a young woman from Kansas and the
engagement had been by
her. he said: Il really don'r know what
you are talking about. / am sure l.
know nothing OF the matter"
Severa visitors came To the office OF
the wrecking company To see Lieuten-
ant Hobson and he chatted with each
a few moments. He said he might
make a short visit to his Alabama
home If he returned to the fleet via
Key West. but he was afraid IL would
be impossible on this trip. as IL woul
be necessary to get back To his work
at the earliest date.
There was no demonstration "a he

by two friends. and only a few per
sons recognized him. He left for

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
eat the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread ell over n
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another ~scrofulous o
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also o Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods S~arsaparille, for which l feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mrs. s. s. WROTEN, Farming

Every thing progresses well in the
Porto Rico affair except typhoid fever
being among the soldiers. Miles
changed his plans and surprised the
enemy. More is to be feared from the
few . than from the Spanish bullets.
TIL far in Cuba there have been
2,138 cases Of fever among the Amer
lean troops. The fact that Spain is
inclined to peace on her own terms
perhaps is lot to be overlooked. She
asks for the war to end. What she
will accept is a matter of speculation
now. We suppose that both Cuba
and Porto Rico will have to go, n
that his country will not make terms
short of that. If the war should
speedily end the results will be sat
iefactOry as to what has been accom-
plished-two fleets completely de-
stroyed and the two chief islands Of
Spain lost to it. Other losses of prop
erty and considerable loss of life,
amounting probably to some thou
sands will make up the sum total.
The trouble will begin after peace
comes with Spain to manage the two
islands. The indications are hal if
the Cubans have control in Cuba the
rule Will be far more barbaric and
cruel than it has yer been by the
Spaniards. There will be occasion
for a great deal of wise craftsmanship
and caution. AS to the Philippines,
they may yet involve our country in
wal with some European powers.

Willoughby Still, a stanch New Eng land clubman. Both are to be married. and on the eve of this serious step they scheme to attend the French ball at the Madison square Garden.
 Two demure young women, betrothed to the above mentioned clubmen, plan to spend their last night at the same French ball. One of the girls is, un- known to her betrothed, a vaudeville queen; the other has had no profes sional experience, but is, nevertheless, able to hold her own. Of course the four come together in many merry complications during the progress of the ball.
 Of the supporting company are: MT. Webster, Tony Williams, William Half ford, Billy Barry, J. Hays, J. Kenny, Miss Mai Raymond, Miss Mildred Con- nors, Miss Viola Raymore, Miss Rosa Crouch and others.

Morosco's.

The production at Morosco's next week will be Oliver Byron's comedy melodrama, ''The Plunger'' The piece was produced once before at the Grand, but will be presented this time in a more elaborate manner, and with a stronger cast.
 The story of the play has to do with the fortunes and misfortunes of Walter Glyndon, young bank clerk, falsely accused by the cashier of Rexford's Bank, of forgeries really committed by the latter. Glyndon becomes a fugi- tive, but is finally acknowledged inno- cent through the efforts of Dexter Digit, "The Plunger," a fellow clerk of Glyndon's and a well-known sport about town.
 The scenes of the bank robbery, where Rexford is murdered, and the railroad scene, where the heroine is tied in the path of a laundering ex- press train, are principal of the excit- ing events that lend interest to this type of drama
