what it It was perhaps, the first time that the foot-ton was dragged into political speech, but Col Wilson boldly and laboriously lugged itsintq his discussion of the sil- yer quesicn without waiting for the consent 3 any. ether nation on earth 'Suppose,s Said the colonel, "you have cubic fOot which weighs a ton.' The suppositioh is Impossible, for there is no substance cn the earth or under it SC far as is known which weighs ton or anything near ton. The cubic foot has nothing whatever to do with the foot-ton, which is nothing more than the measure of the energy required to lift a ten of anything, of Gel. Wilson for instance, a foot from the earth. It is measures of resistance to gravita- tion. sa
 That is4srsa!ly what the colone. meant all the time, but, he. failed to convey his meaning tt his hearers, or rather he coHxeysd 4era> than he meant by in troducing the unnecessary term, ''cubic foot.''y He Wasscomparing the effective energy of the United States with that of Mefiso to prove that the latter

 This opened ths way to wild com parison between, the commercial re- sources of the United Stats and those of other countries. He first made the modest and tentative statement that this country was ahead Of France. The audience. accepted the utterance. Then the colonel said the United States was ahead of France. and England. There was not wcrd of disapproval. The colonel was then emboldened to in clude Germany with France and Eng land. and before anybody had time to raise a protest he cried, ''Y5s, all Eu- rope," He was nerving himself for a swoop upon Africa, Asia and the is lands of the sea when Judge Barnes CT Mark Smith admonished him in stage whisper to let the foot-ton drcp.

KINGMAN NEWS.
Weather and Politics at Mohave's
 Capital

Kingman, Ariz, Oct 12-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- The boisterous weather that prevailed to such a disagreeable extent during the first few days of the month has subsided, and now beautiful and TO- mantle Indian summer is manifestlne itself in balmy atmosphere and clear blue skies. The Wallapai Indians are enjoying it, tco, and they are going to and fro as happy as butterflies The Wallapais are reaping Q small imam cial harvest this pretty weather gath ering pinons in the mountains only a few hours walk from Kingman- They 20 out and spend the day, long strings of them, and when they return at nlgnl each bears a small quantity CT these delicious little nuts which maJCrlty of them dispose of for small consider atious. Many Of them again elthsr null and eat the kernel or make meal oi the meat and they enjoy delicious and primitive repast. Wild pigeons are also quite numerous in the ranges ana besides supply the Indians with Hiucn of the meat they get Many Wnits hunters are bringing in thfse haif do- mesticated birds for their own taples and the pleasure derived from huntlhs them.
 The political campaign among the psople is moving along smoothly. No iarring or jostling has as yet manl1est- ed itself among rival candidates. There are several very able speakers and or ators on both sides and they are mostly absent stumping the county and set ting forth in flowing oratory their en- inent fitness fer the office to which they aspire. w. G. BlaKely and w. w. Dunbar are candidates for district a'- tornev. Judge Blakely is the present district attorney and throughout hls term of office has made a most eXcel- lent official. He was again the cnolce of the silver republican nominating convention. He is sure ct re-e.ectloh' There can be no doubt that much ais satisfaction exists among the rank and file of the democratic party oNlns to the nominations. Some or them say
 it is an outrage and they assert tha' they will not vote the tlcket A It"
 days after these nominaticns were made many wanted the democratic county committee to meet and do some cancelling of names and suDsutute othsr men.

DEWEY A REPUBLICAN,.
His Brother Charles Says He Is One
 From Conviction.

Candidate Wilson, in his speech Sat urday night included in his cargo of misrepresentation the statement that Admiral George Dewey is a democrat. The Republican directed attention yes ferday to the falsity Of this statement Now comes the Iowa State Register, published at Des Moines, with the fol- lowing:
 Charles Dewey, the eldest brother >of Admiral George Dewey, is stopping in the city, having arrived from Lin coin, Neb., over the Rock Island late last evening. MT. Dewey is accompa- nied by Mrs. Dewey, and Mir and Mrs T. B. Smith, also of Montpelier, Vt. The party is registered at the Savery. where the members were visited by a reporter for the Register.
 MT. Dewey is a man of striking ap- pearance, and the resemblance be- tween him and his famous brother is noticeable. Though 72 years Of age. he is far more active than many men who are his juniors by many years, and he is accustomed annually to take trips similar to the one on which he is now engaged, giving to his business, which represents many million of dol lars, his personal supervision.
 Speaking of his brother, the ad- miral, MT. Dewey says that it is not by accident that he was placed in com mand cf the Asiatic squadron. In a letter to his brother dated in Novem- Der of last year, Commodore Dawey forecasted hostilities, and stated that the Pacific was the place for him if he desired to make a reputation The commodore then sought the appoint ment as commander of the Pacific squadron, securing it through the in fuence of Senator Proctcr of Vermont.
 This says MT. Dewey, 'disposes of the statement that George became the hero of Manila purely by chance George worked hard in the first place to secure his appointment in the naval academy, and after that was secured, he devoted all his time and attention to his studies and his work, appre- ciating that in So doing he would bs able to gratify his ambition
 Another statement so frequently made concerning George Is that he is a democrat. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is a republican, though not a politician. He is a re- publican from birth and conviction, as all the Deweys are'''

ARIZONA WAR DANCE.
The Territorial Volunteers Liyino UD
 10 Reputation.

| Col. c. W. Johnstcne lately received letter from Sergeant c. w. Moves oi Col. McCord's regiment at Camp Ham 1 ilton, Lexington, Ky. Sergeant Noye: complains in the first piace of moist ure of climate, to get an Arizcnian used to which occupies time He says though, that the regiment is camped in nice place in the Bluegrass re- zion. Though about 600 soldiers oi the whole force, 1S,0OO, at Camp Ham ilton are sick, not member Of the i Arizona contingent has been ill.
 Of late changes in the regiment, Ser geant Moves says: Captain Frank Russell has been promoted to major i First Lieutenant Crenshaw to adju- tant, Adjutant George Christy to cap i tain, and Second Lieutenant F. w Hill is now in command.
 Corporal Claude Early became in volved in trouble While the regiment was on its way he left the train to at- tend to some business of his own, fore seeing no immediate hostilities with Spain or anybody else, and did not show up at the camp until five days after the arrival of his regiment. He was warmly received was court mar tia1ed, sentenced to ten days curryirg horses, and performing other menial but military duties, and was stripped of his bars and official honors." Col. McCord's regiment, Sergeant Moves says, has the best band in the camp, under the direction of Professor Otto Eberhardt. The Arizona mem- bers while waiting for the war are amusing themselves and the people ct Kentucky by giving a series Of war dances en costume, which consists Of a coat Of paint and,a ges-string. The boys were billed for dance in the city and another at the fair at Lexington Said Sergeant Ncyes: "The east ern people blush, but we've got cur reputation going and we have to -.eep it up. Everybody is arraid of us. It's wonderful to see the number of people that come to the camp to see us. They think we are savages. A Lexington newspaper printed an article the other day saying we were dangerous to be kept in the service, as we we:e only a half civilized race of people from Ari- zona and that we could net 1sarn any thing"
 The regiment had a hot time in St Louis. They shot up the town, get into a collision with the police and were extricated by Major Russell, who told the blue-coated defenders that he would soon turn his command loose unless the policemen chose to behave themselves.
 Some Of the members e the regi- ment wen honorable distinction by licking the toughest toughs Of the ro- torious New York regiment. which according to eastern newspapers, is the worst in the ssrvice of Uncle Sam
 Sergeant Moves was apprebensive oi trouble the next day after the date cf his letter. It was to be pay day. which had always been succeeded by horrors and a full guard house. In the course of his letter the sergeant says Col. Me Cord and Major Russell are the two best of the several hundred officers of all grades in camp.
