ERODE AND STATEHOOD.

The enthusiasm that is displayed q wherever Colonel Brodie goss in this territory can not convey any ether meaning than that the people are in sympathy with his candidacy IL is not human nature for people to enthuse over one whom they intend to antago- niza. Colonel BTodie is not an orator and makes no attempt to convince the people that he is at home on the stump. He maintains that if elected he will make a good agent of the territory at Washington, and a good agent is what we need. We do net require an orator. for the best orator in the congress without a vote would cut but an in- different figurs Colcnel Brodie knows, as all people know who are acquainted with legislation in Washington, that the most effective workers in both houses are not these who have a rep utation as speakers. There are men in the senate and the house who never make speeches who yet exert a tremen- dous influence in behalf Of their con- stituents. These are the men who at tend committee meetings and who shape legislation without appearing in the public eye to any extent. To az complish such work requires high or der Of ability and knowledge of men. and human nature. It is truthfully said of Cclcnel Brodie that he is one Of the best mixers" in the southwest. He meets men, makes a good lmpreS- sion upon them, and they are ready to do him friendly turn when opportun- ity offers. Such a man cou-d dc Ari- zona a world of good at Washington. Colonel Brodie, a common sense repub- lican, stands On a common sense plat form, and he will be elected on the common sense issue of statehood Once elected and with republican legisla
 ture to point to as a certificate Of the earnesiness Of the people cf Arizona, he will have no difficulty in setting the statehood machinery in motion. Eve.y Arizoniaa ought to stand by Colonel Brcdie in this emergency. If he should be defeated statehood would be set hack feu years cf 1e3St

A FRUITLESS EFFORT.


 Some democrats affect to believe i that the criticism Of the war depart
 ment begun months ago by yellow i journals and subsequently, adopted by i the democratic leaders as q campaign i issue will prove effective in overeom- ing the wave of Americanism that has swept ever tha country as one result Of the war with Spain. As we'll might they undertake to move the Rocky
 mountains bodily to the seaboard. The American people have a good deal Of sentiment in their makeup. Thsy sometimes make grievcus errors-as
 witness the duplicated elevation Of
 Grover Cleveland to the presidency,
 but in the long run they come close to doing justice. The war with Spain was a righteous war, and it was undertaken
 in the face of the fact that the country was unDrepared for struggle with
 even a fifth rate power. Our military
 and naval resources at the beginning
 Of the struggle were notoriously inad-
 equate. In every department there was lack Of material. It ought to be {;
 matter of pride to every American citi- zen-it is to the masses-that the gov ernmsnt was enabled to put both branches cf it's fighting arm into quick and effective service and in 113 days complete a war that has made the United States g. world power, with pos sessions that give local application to the English boast that the sun never ceases to shine On British territory. If the sun is not shining at all hours cn American territory the intermission is too slight to be of account. The record made by the government and the spirit have served to create a sentiment in favor of the retention in power Of the dominant party that no puny attempt like that of the war department critics can overcome.
 Democrats here and elsewhere are but illustrating the truth So often told of them that when the ques- tion Of patriotism is in the scale their leaders are certain to take the wrcng side. They are today presenting the spectacle to the world of a party that is trying to dis credit an administration that in less than four months revised the map Of the world. And yet some good demo crats insist that the democratic party is 8 party of principles.

 The dsmceratic charge that Col Brcdie has surrendered his principles in this campaign is disproved by the candidates utterances on the stump. He declares without reservation that his views have not changed, but that he regards statehcod as the paramount issue at this time. If Col. Brodie saw that the financial question was of mere importance to the people of this territory he would not hesitate to say so. He is not a coward, either morally CT physically. His whole career gives the lie to any assertions that may be made affecting his hcnor. A close cb- server, he appreciates the fact that now is the time to work for something that is tangible and within reach rather than to devote valuable time to the mere enunciation of a principle. Col. Brcdie is a representative citizen and tie voters who stand by him will have the satisfaction Of knowing that he will make first class territorial agent in the congress.

The friends Of Captain James H. Me Cin.ock are determined that his ab- sence from the territory at this tima shall not operate to his disadvantage They are doing their utmost to gain votes for him and the outlook for suc- cess is very good. The bsst of req sons keeps the captain away from Ali Zcna at the time when he should be locking after his candidacy for the council-an injured ankle that was un- equal to the task Of wi;hstanding a Mausar bullet fired by a murd Spaniard in Cuba. It is a good reason frosn the American sstandpaint and there is no doubt that it will prove po- tent with majority Of the voters Of the county.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR.

The Journal-Miner supplements Joe Alexander's letter to Colonel B-odie with the following:
 Right in the same line vas con- versa tion the editor Of the Journal Miner had with Captain Frank FrantZ, who is also a strong democrat polisi- cally. Captain FrantZ has returned to Arizona expecting to rsmain here. He says that while he is personally and politically very friendly . Col oael Wilson, the great est rist3ke that Arizona could make new would bs to defeat Colonel Brodia. This terri tory. he continued, received more fa- vorable nctics from the people cf the east On account of the soldiers it sent to the war than through anything which has happened for years.

Dispatch Boat Lost in the Harbor
and Narrowly Escapes Destruction
Spaiu Opeus Fire.

A special from Key West says: The
first shot from Spain was fired Sunday
night when Moro Castle opened its bat
teries on the United States fleet. The
news was brought here by Capt. Usher of
the Ericsson, who says his boat was or
dered out early Sunday night on scout
duty.
The American fleet was about eight
miles off Havana. The lights were out
and all hands were ready for action. One
little craft scudded swiftly towards the
enemy and brought up almost under Nor
ro's guns, being enabled TO reach such a
close point because for the first time the
Morro light was then burning.
At II p. m. the Spanish artillery roared
out its first welcome to the American
fleet, but not a shot struck. The Amerl-
can fleet maintained silence.
Before the firing began, the newspaper
dispatch boat, which had lost her bear
ings, got within three miles of MORO Cas-
tie, and before she knew her where
abouts, the boat found MORO Castle firing
on her. She got away unharmed.
When the Ericsson left the squadron
lay spread in line eight miles long,
maintaining a blockade. According to
proclamation, the ships of.neutral pow
ers are allowed to pass.
Ensign Christy, with crew of sixteen
from the Detroit, and four from the flag
ship, brought into port the captured
steamer Catalina, Captain Fano, 8, 49l
tons, which left Cadiz March z, and was
bound from New Orleans for Barcelona,
via Havana, for which port she was
making when taken. When the first shot
was fired her captain made a desperate
effort to escape his pursuer, and the chase
was prolonged for eight miles. Finally
q solid shot brought her to. She is carry
ing cargo of 5000 tons of slaves.
