AS TO COPPER.

The copper market stands out In bold relief in striking contrast with the general business situation. The copper situation is as firm as Gibral- tar. Wars and rumors of wars fail to affect adversely either the demand for or the price of the metal. Copper con- tinues to advance both ln the United States and abroad, and its statistical position grows stronger each day the natural consequence of consump- tion running ahead of production. The past week has been a broken one, yet copper in London, both spot and fu- ture, has advanced over half pound per ton, while lake in this country is firmer and fractionally higher than it was a week ago.
 While the production Of copper 1n this country for the first three months of this year has shown a ma terial increase over previous years the increase in export of the metal over the corresponding period of pre- vious years has been even greater. At the same time European production of the metal for some reason or other continues to show heavy falling off United States production of copper Qong tons) for March, 1898, aggre- gated 20,3S1 tons, compared with 1S,- 572 tons the previous month, and 1S,283 tons March, 1897. Exports of copper from the United States Qong tons) for March, 1898, aggregated 13,- "A tens, compared with 9,611 the pre- vious month and 11,232 tons March 1897. On the other hand European copper production Qong tons) foI March, 1898, aggregated 7,121 tons compared with 1908 tons the previous month and S,35S tons March, 1897 In other words the export of copper from the United States in the month of March, 1898, increased over March 1897, by 22.1 per cent. In the same month the production Of the United States increased by only 11.5 per cent while the European production fell off by 14.S per cent. With the Euro pean production decreasing at a great CT rate than the United States produc- movement from this country increas- ing two-fold over the production, and with visible supplies both here and abroad at the lowest for years, it would seem that unless there was an unexpected 1et-up in the demand cop per would become a scarce article be- fore the year was over and possibly sell at extremely high

The Arizona Republican promises to take another step forward at an early date, by adding new type setting ma chine, in addition to the one now in use. Aside from it's editorial page, which is believed to have an umbilical connection with Gov. McCord, The Re publican is all that could be expected in the way of newspaper in Ari- Zona.-Arizona Bulletin.
 The editorial page of this newspaper is conducted on the basis of entire in dependence of narrow mindsd crea- lures, some of them Journalists" who assume that a newspaper that does not endorse their peculiar views ought to be tabooed. The Republicans pol icy is meeting with the success to which it is entitled. All that The Re- publican asks of the Bulletin or any other Arizona newspaper is fair treat ment, which the Bulletin in particular is not disposed to give.

NEWS VS. FAKE BULLETINS.

The only reliable news bears the inn print of the Associated Press, and we have small sympathy for those who permit themselves to become agitated and excited by fake bulletins coming from no one knows where or from whom. Subscribe for The Republican able news. It is getting tiresome, this being questioned with reference to these bulletins, "Is it true?" "1s there anything in it?" We tell you now that there is nothing in it unless it bears the imprint of authority. And such authority you will fail to find either in saloon or in front of meat block.

The salaries of the governors of territories are not regulated by the inn portance of the latter in respect to population or the public revenues. The governor of Arizona receives $3,5O0 a year. The population of that territory was 5000 by the last federal census. The governor of New Mexico, the pop ulation of which was in excess of 15O,- 900, gets $2,600. The governor of Alaska receives S3,000. The governor of Indian Territory gets s1,50O, while the governor of Oklahoma (which was taken from the Indian Territory), gets S2, ,6OO-New York Sun.
 The governor of Arizona would be pleased if the Suns article was based on facts. He receives in reality but $2,60O a year, the remainder of the $3, 800 supposed to attach to the posi- tion being "held up" by the house committee on appropriations. Uncle Joe" Cannon promised to fix the mat ter, but it has not yet been adjusted.

SAFETY AT HOME.

There are several ways by which
 patriotism may be shown, and it
 makes but little difference in which form it is made to appear-it always will receive the credit it car ries as an intrinsic accompa- niment. It is accepted without attempt at contradiction that the very highest order of patriotism is that in connection with cur country, and the citizens of this country are, as a rule, born with the true blood of patriotism flowing through their American veins But it is not given to us all the enjoy ment of opportunity to display national patriotism as an active working duty. Neither is it true patriotism to seek, through pleading or by the use of in- of opportunity which fails to knock at our door.
 The next best order of patriotism. and it is not one whit less dignifed in degree than national, is that of pro- tecting ones native or adopted state.
 And next, and who shall question it's high dignity, is the patriotism of pro tecting ones own home and fireside.
 While our military boys, and others who have recently been busy in per- fecting the organization of volun- teer cavalry regiments, cowboy rang CTS, and such like creditabIe aids to
 
 ally disappointed in view of the infor- nation from Washington that the ter ritory would be called upon for it's quota only, and that less than two hundred is the total of that quota, we desire to pour timely oil on the wounds of their disappointment
 Just at present there is no danger from local sources in our territory. but let us look the situation squarely in the face. The regular troops are withdrawn. Suppose that some fool Indians should take it into their heads 1 to commence series of depredations. Suppose some fool outlaws should be- come similarly inspiritedl Suppose, too, that all of our territorial militia and our cowboy and ranger contin- gents should have left us to force themselves into an uninvited field! In such condition of affairs, if it should arise, will the organized and morgan ized natural protectors of this terri tory and its people be able to furnish laudable excuse for their desertion?
 If the country needed all these men the people of the territory with one voice would say to them, go and do your duty. The country has said to them, i've do not need you" There fore the people of the territory may we'll say to them: Stay at home, boys, You are our safeguards against home evils. You are our menace to the low CT elements upon and possibly with in our borders. We must look to you for our protection and defence in any event. Therefore stay at home, boys and show a patriotism which we will appreciate as fully as though you had gone forth to the defense of the na- tion's honor on the call of that na- tiOn''

Mark Smith complained some time since of not being able to get Speaker Reed to recognize him to make a speech on the Cuban question. After failing to catch the speakers eye he was recognized by the Phoenix Ga zette and has his speech printed in that paper.-Journal-M Miner.
 Of course. Didn't you know that the Gazette was Marks supplement of the Congressional Record? Any time you fail to find his speech in the latter it is because it got in too late for the first edition, and on such occasions the manuscript is wired to Phoenix.

A Spanish official in Cuba says there are 1 400, 900 persons on the island who favor the scheme of autonomy The last census of Cuba gave the island a population of 100000. Four hundred thousand are said to have starved to death, and two hundred thousand more have either been in or are still in the Cuban ranks, to say nothing of those who have fled the country. Just where the 1,40O,000 advocates of autonomy are to be found is another mystery. In these figures no allowance is made for minors. The Spanish official is clearly talking through his sombrero.

Now that war is on In earnest would it not be well for some of the papers of this territory to uphold the administration instead of barking and snapping at it constantly? Not be- cause these papers can do any harm but for the reason that it would be more like true Americanism, besides evincing a desire to appear sane.
