DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS susIsEss

A press telegram from Omaha dated the 2rst, says: Colonel w. J. Bryan's battalion is having an unexpectedly disagreeable time at camp with no rations. fnel. dishes or blankets. They have been hours without water supply; the buildings are desolate. The government off, cials are snubbing the late presiden- tial candidate" !"
 Which goes to show that Colonel Bryan doesn't understand his busi- ness and has not had sufficient sense to call to his aid in organizing his regiment some old veteran or regular army officer who has had experience. Army officers don't punish regiments by snubbing their commanders, and whenever a regi- ment suffers it is usually from mex perience among its own officers.

SOUND DOCTRINE,

Annexation of territory is the true democratic policy. Under demoratic presidents, mainly, has the territory of the United States been added to and extended. Fer tile land is the backbone and sup porting pillar of all other wealth. No nation can have tto much of it. We are an annexationist, regard less of politics: Let us annex all we can, and keep all we get. The stars and stripes are broad enough to float over 1t all, and those who owe allegiance to those stars and stripes are strong enough and brave enough to keep them ever floating under the eternal rays of a sun which never sets.-Prescott Courier.
 For once the Courier has present. cd a sentiment THE OASIS can en- dorse. True patriotism will respond to the above utterance with a fer vent amen.

senators from Oregon, and could be

 All the old objections to territorial
 expansion of republics have disap-
 peared before the progress of mod
 ern invention.
 Knowing the facts outlined above
 objectors to territorial expansion
 have adopted the false and uuwar-
 ranted theory that annexation of
 more territory would be against the
 traditional policy of the American
 people. Acquisition of new terri
 tory has been the policy of the
 United States from the time of the creation ofthe government. With out taking Alaska into considera- ton the present area of the United States is about four times what it was when the constitution was adopted. Have all the vast region west of the Mississippi and Alaska been acquired in opposition to the traditional policy of the American people! On the contrary, it strikes the average citizen that expansion has been the traditional policy. Whenever the American people have had good chance they have taken a fair slice of new soil. The only occasions they ever refused was when Charles Summers per 'onal spleen against General Grant prevailed upon the senate to reject he Santo Domingo annexation, and when Judge Greshams hostility to Ben. Harrison caused withdrawal rom the senate of the first Hawaii m treaty of annexation Neither he enlarged spleen of Charles Sum- Ter nor the disordered liver of Wal CT c. Gresham constitutes the policy of the American 'eople in annexation of additional erritory.

IOWA, Indiana. and Michigan have followed the proper course in designating their regiments enter ing the army in the present war. For instance in the war of I86t-s Iowa sent to the front forty-eight regiments of infantry. The three regiments nov sent are numbered forty-nine, fifty and fifty-one. A regiment is an historical organiza- tion, and for the sake of future ac- curacy in history no two regiments should be designated or numbered alike.

The population of Arizona has been slightly on the decrease during the past week. A man in Yavapai county killed another for the trivial offence of stealing his knife; . depu- ty constable in Phenix killed a Mexican because he was drunk and could not speak English; a man in Pima county killed his wife be- cause she had minated that she would like to attend ball, and Yuma county, came to the front with cold-blooded murder and cowardly suicide at La Fortuna.

Thursday evening Mr. W. J Lyon Of Hermoslllo left for Telaquah, h. dian Territory, summoned to confer with the committee from the Dea- ware and Cherokee Indians, whose visit to Sonora was described in these columns some weeks ago. Mir. Lyon submitted to the gentlemen the lands of the Sinaloa & Sonora Irrigation Co.,, in the lower Yaqui region, and the present summons indicates that they are ready to deal. This involves a two million dollar transaction, and will convey about 10000 acres of some of the finest land in America to a colony of about 10000 very wealthy people who will be a permanent and very valuable addition to the popua' tion of Sonora.

TRADITIONAL POLICY.

 fear they have always opposed ex

 purchase. In one generation the
 impelling motive was opposition tc slavery, the party supporting which (the democratic) was then the party of aggression and territorial exten- sion in order to permit expansion of that peculiar institution. Opponents of slavery condemned annexation of Texas and acquisition of California and New Mexico (now composing Arizona, Utah and Nevada But most of the opponents ofterritorial expansion based their opposition upon the ground that in great area of territory on account of fremotcness and distance in point of time and space it would be impossible for a republic to successfully conduct public business, for which reason great republics had always ended in despotism. On these grounds acquisition of Louisiana and Oregon was opposed. The supporters of the theory thought it better to maintain republican institutions in small and inconsequential repub- | lie than to let the country grow in greatness to ruin them. Yet Thom- ] IS Jefferson, one of the earliest ad- 'ocates of that theory, was the president whose administration Louisiana.

tion and reelection in order to have time to give his policy a fair trial. Under such circumstances he is often compelled to be a politician first and statesman afterward. However much he may desire the advice of economists and even avail himself of their services, he is often deprived of the power to utilize them, and it too often happens that the economists, in their encour- agement of independent voting on each national issue as it arises, deprive themselves of that influence within the party councils which Is necessary for carrying any issue whatsoever to it's logical test and conclusion.
 But things are by no means at their worst. On the contrary, if we compare the conditions of to-day with those of thirty years ago, we see a very marked increase of economic methods and eco- homie influence in the work of govern ment. Particularly true is this in mu- nicipal affairs. It was there that the need for good business administra- tion came most directly home to the cit izens.

amount being placed at several million
pounds. The stock Of copper in this
country at the beginning OF the year
is not accurately known. but the fact
that producing companies are now well
sold up. and that many will not take
bids for prompt or future delivery
would intimate that these stocks are
not regarded as heavy. The consump-
tion o; copper the world over is large,
and it looks evident that the present
advance is based on something more
than mere speculation.
Under such circumstances the develop
ment OF the Colorado copper deposits
should be rapid and profitable. Tho most
favorable indications have been found
in the Unaweep canon and in the Para
dox valley, above Grand Junction, and
already prospectors are hocking to these
sections. While copper mining is expen-
sive, it has nevertheless proved enormous
ly profitable and il the Colorado deposits
shall prove to be as rich as present indi-
cations point to, there will be no trouble
in securing all needed capital for their
development.
In view of these facts The Times
would call the attention OF Eastern in.
vestors to the Grand river country as
place where enormous profits may
reasonably be anticipated from an in
vestment of portion OF the funds now
lying idle in banks and safety deposits.

chase Cuban freedom by guaranteeing

Colorado Copper mining.

The recent discovery Of rich and ex
tensive deposits OF copper in the Grand
river country gives promise Of adding
very largely to the value Of Colorado's
mineral products During the past two
months there has been decided ad-
vance in the price Of this metal and the
demand considerable exceeds the visible
supply. indicating still further increases
in its market value.
In this connection the last issue Of
Bradstreet's contains significant ed.
itorial, as follows:
The advance in copper since the be-
ginning Of the year has been very
marked. and at the present outlook the
advance appears to be statisticaliy
sound. The strength Of the market has
come from Europe; where consumption
is in excess Of arrivals, causing mater
ial reduction Of the visible supply ON
hand. The advance in the price Of cop.
per hore has developed since February
1. when the price Of lake ingots in New
York was II cents. The liberal export
call added to fair local consumption.
has forced the market fully cent per
pound higher, although large contracts
were made by the producing companies
when the market struck IN cents.
