Capt. r. W. Austin, q. S. Marshal
for the eastern district of Tennessee,
said of public sentiment in his state:
"The most popular man with Tennes-
seeans is President Mckinley, whose
course in the war won for him the ap-
probation of men of all PARTIES. The
idea of retaining every acre of conquer
ed territory is favored in our state.
The opening up of Cuba and Porto Ri
co will be of immense advantage to
the south, for it will give us splend-
id market for our coal and iron, flour
and other products. To "a man we are
in favor of building the Nicaragua can
al, the construction of which would
add millions to the revenues of the
southern states"

Hon. Binger Hermann, commissioner
of the Q. S. Land Office. who repre-
scnted an Oregon district in the House
for twelve years, thinks the republican
gains in the far west this fall, will
surprise those who accept the apathy
in Maine and Vermont, which resulted
in large stay-at-home vote, and con
sequent reduction of republican major
tiles, as representing the general con-
ditiOn of the republican party. He
says: This country has fought with
brilliant success. a great war since
President McKinIey's election. The
west. fired with enthusiasm over our
territorial acquisitions in the Pacific,
and enjoying an era of great crops and
a plentiful money supply, will be heard
from empha ticallY in November;I think
the casting up of votes out there will
be a surprise to nearly everybody"
And Mr. Binger never said anything
so full of the truth. The great west,
the southwest will be the
beneficiary of the new character and
the new enterprises our government as
such has and is about to assume The
loyal citizenship of the people of the
Pacific coast and especially of the
southwest will be shown in no uncer-
them the opportunity.

The administration of President Nc
Kinley will pass into history as an
epoch marking administration. AL
ready We have seen the annexation of
Hawaii, soon to be followed by the an
neXation of Porto Rico. Cuba has
been liberated and VIII ultimately be
annexed. And while the fate of the
Philippines is as yet problematic it is
safe to assert that they will become
United States territory. Next in this
epoch-marking period will be con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal. 1t
is as certain to be built as that the
readers of the HERALD will be alive
tomorrow and it is altogether likely
that a bill providing for the building
of the canal will be passed at the short
session of Congress this winter.

Aside from inundoes and insinua-

withdraw and place Colonel Brodie on

A1aricopa county Republicans have
a duty to perform for the whole peo-
pie of this county that has not often
presented itself; it is their duty to
elect their entire legislative ticket. If
this is not done the great interests of
Maricopa county citizens will suffer in
consequence. Why? Because the
nominees for the legislature on the Re
publican ticket are the only men we
are likely to get into the legislature
who will have the ability to defend
those interests. There is more to be
done in a legislature than merely to
vote for or against a measure; that
duty only comes after the great work

The republican platforms both
county and territorial have endorsed
rhe referendum idea in so far as it re-
Iates to the contraction of public in
debtedness and the saddling of finan-
cial burdens upon the people. BY so
doing they have taken another step
forward. That is they have voiced a
sentiment that has long been recogniz-
ed as one of the underlying principles
of Republicanism, though 1T is to some
extent a new departure in this terri
tory. The basic principle of Repub-
fcan form of government is the idea
that the people make the laws. The
Republican party is now as 1T has
ever been, the champion of the rights
of the common people, and when the
abridgment of these rights becomes
apparent that party has been the
means through which the necessary
reforms have been accomplished. The
theory of the referendum is now prac-
ticed to a large extent in several of
the eastern states, admittedly Republl-
can and at the instance of that party,
and has been found to be largely sue
cess. The theory is incontrovertibly
an ideal one; the only objection that
any fair minded man can raise being
the seemingly unwieldy process of ac-
complishing results. To what extent
it is practicable remains to be proved
only by actual experiment. All that
has been asked for by its most ardent
supporters at the present time is an
honest and fair application of the prin-
ciple to matters affecting the burdens
of taxation and in this respect the
principle has been already applied to
municipal and school district affairs.
Why not extend it to territorial af-
fairs? This the Republican party has
pledged itself to do, should opportunity
offer. VIII you give that party the
opportunity9

Nothing more than amusement is
felt concerning the story that Aguin-
aldo, the head of the Philippine insur-
gents, intends to drive our army out
of the Philippines and turn the islands
over to Germany. Admiral Dewey and
General Otis are not men TO be driven
by any country's soldiers, and the idea
of their being driven by the rabble
which composes the fnsurgent army, is
too ridiculous to be entertained for
moment, and that Germany has any
idea of openly assisting the insurgents
in any movement against the Ameri-
cans is not at all probable.

The conference of Gov. HOlcomb
and Col Bryan at Washington has ad-
ded to the belief of the republicans
that Nebraska is coming back into the

ing from Mr.. E. F. Meyerhoff is a fair
sample of the talk of Nebraska repub-
Iicans: There is a very decided de-
cline in the free silver sentiment in Ne
braska, and 1 do not think the state
could be carried again on that issue.
Mr.. Bryan, too, L think, lacks a great
deal of having his former popularity.

would carry the state and that if they
did, the chances for again heading the
democratic Presidential ticket would
not be promising.
According to Dun's reports the busi-
ness of August this year was the larg

who will doubt Dun's statement.

The report, If true, that the railroad
people in the east are discriminating
against the southwest, Arizona espec-
tally. is a very serious matter and
should receive the immediate attention
of the business men of this city. If
true it is probably the result of the cut
ting of rates by the Canadian Pacific

tition does not touch the southwest bus
mess the old passenger rates prevail.

When people of the county are in

not an invested dollar in the county,

ed at the presumption. Have not the

| experience in that line that has just
caused them a loss of nearly $4,000,

chances? THE HERALD does not
believe it. There are plenty of respon-
sible people among citizens in the
county from whom to select a County
Treasurer and the Republicans of the
