sympathy for the mother country has been developed lately. Yesterday was
 marked by two incidents which aroused a great deal of feeling. The first oc- cured at the city hall. City Assessor Long on his way to church stepped at his office As he went into the hall two Mexicans were standing ip the corridor looking at the decorations They were soon joined by third, who just as the assessor came out of the office, tore down a small American flag
 and jerked it loose from its staff. Mr.
 Long called to him and he started out The assessor put his hand on his hip pocket and ordered him to stop. The
 Mexican did so. Then the assessor
 compelled him to pick up the flag and
 bring it to him. He furthermore con-
 pelled him to kiss it. and in order to
 inspire him with a deeper respect for the flag, led with his left, landing hard
 on the Mexican's forehead.
 Later in the day H. H. Travis was going along the street and was met by Frenchman and Mexican speaking
 Spanish. As MT. Travis approached
 them his coat was blown back, dis
 closing the national colors of his Grand
 Army badge. There" said the
 Frenchman, "is one of the -" ap- plying a most offensive epithet
 The feeling was considerably height ened by the production of several cop ies of Ell Democrata, published by the incendiary, Pedro G. de la Lama. many
 of which were as rabidly favorable to
 Spain as if they had been printed in Ell Epoca or Fl Pals of Madrid. Re
 garding the designs of the United
 States on Cuba, Ell Democrata says: "A senator of the congress of the United States half drunk, who was elected to the place by his money and not for his ability, has introduced a
 measure that this nation compel Spain
 to give Cuba her independence Does he think, the fool, that the Spanish are

 It is hardly fair to the Mexican peo-
 pie to hold De la Lama up as a rep
 resentative Mexican. His teachings are disturbing He has been located variously at Ell Paso, Solomonville and Clifton and his exit from each was un der pressure. He was one of the ch1et l movers in the last insurrectiOn against l Mexico from this side. The better class of Mexicans are not likely to be inspired by Fl Democrata, but the more Ignorant are likely to be impelled to acts which will involve them in serious 1 trouble.
 The Mexican-Spanish sentiment at
 Tucson is more general and pro nounced than it is in Phoenix. At a | late meeting of one of the militia com
 panies composed wholly of Mexicans seventeen members out of twenty who
 were present resolved to abandon the
 national guard in the event that it
 should be called out to fight Spain.
 MT. Obermuller, who is engaged in
 mining in Mexico, recently returned to Phoenix. He said the sentiment in
 favor of Spain is not only surprising, i hut alarming

ness and to look at the old pueblo. The party was driven through the city, and then to the university, where Mrs. Gilbert spent the day with Mrs Le Chance and other friends The party looked over the university grounds and buildings, while the gov ernor held a consultation with Presi- dent Parker.
 The governor is looking well and seems to be on exceedingly good terms with himself and all mankind. He is on the alert concerning the necessities of Arizona arising out of the present relations between the United States and Spain, and he will see to it that nothing is left undone which should be done for the protection of every in- terest along the frontier.
 The governor and members of the party were kept busy the entire day answering calls from our leading c1tt- zens. They returned to Phoenix this morning, as urgent official business called the governor to the capital Tucson Star.

TO COMPEL PATRIOTISM.

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: Events of the last few days in
 which certain people who have en-
 joyed the freedom and protection of
 the American flag have responded to
 that freedom by denouncing Ameri- cans and insulting the flag, call for
 prompt action on the part, of alr loyal American citizens. If any man be in this country of Spanish blood or of Spanish descent who does not approve of the action of the American govern
 ment, the way is open to him to leave the country and no tears will be shed at his departure. In these times there are no republicans, no democrats, no rish-Americans, no British-Amer1cans.
 no German-Americans, CT any other hyphenated Americans, but Americans all and all the way through. The 1n- cident in the city hall yesterday and such remarks as addressed by one Spanish-speaking man yesterday morn ing to another when passing MT.
 Travis on the street and seeing his
 Grand. Army badge are proof that there is dangerous element in our
 midst that needs looking after. MT.
 Editor the time to stop a fire is in it's incipiency. So in this case the time
 to stop disloyalty and insults to the flag by a lot of ignorant foreigners in
 our midst is before they have become
 bold and strong. Vigorous action now
 will undoubtedly prevent serious trou- ble and bloodshed in the near future. For myself, I am ready at any time to
 be one of a committee of one hundred. or such number as the American citi | zens of Phoenix may designate, to be known as a Committee of Safety" | which will see to it that insults to the | flag merit the prompt and speedy pun l ishment they deserve. To this end I would suggest a meeting at the court house at 10 o'clock this morning.

in the name, of reason should we coin o,I
issue irredeemable paper currency? Run

Sing1e-Tax Theory.

The single tax advocates find encour-
agement for the adoption of their pet
theory in the fact that several of i+s most
jealous champions have been nominated
on the Democratic-Populist ticket for
high positions of, honor and influence.
There is a difference of opinion among
the friends of this new economic meas
ure as to its practical application. All,
think, however, will agree that 1t is pro-
posed to collect all of the revenue for the
support of the State, county and munich
pal government public schools and other
institutions by direct tax upon land
regardless of the improvements. 1t is
not clear to my mind why the owner Of
property situated upon Market, Mont
gomery and other streets In this city
should be exempt from paving taxes
upon improvements that bring an income
of $4,000 per month, while his neighbor,
who owns a similar lot, but is only able
to construct a cheap building, capable Of
yielding an income barely sufficient to
pay insurance and interest. should be
taxed equally heavy. Why should railroad
cars and locomotives, banks, merchandise,
money, jeWelry and all other personal
property be exempt from taxation? Why
should the burden fall upon the farmer
who tills the soil early and late to make
a living? Why Should the poor man who
has small lot upon which he has built
a home cottage be compelled to pay all
of the taxes for the support of the Gov
eminent, while the rich personal prop
erty holder is exempt? The reason is not
clear, unless it be based upon the prin-
ciple that they are always willing to let
others bear the burden and heat of the

The coming election, following hard
upon the heels of war, while the terms of

to the people of this State, but it rises
to the dignity of national Importance.
Aside from the election of a Governor

Railroad Issues.

Now, what are the real issues before
the people in this political campaign
Certainly it is not the railroad question
or national politics, nor is 1t State poll
tics. The question of freight and fares
is being settled, not by Democrats, Popu-
lists or Board of Railroad Commissioners,
but by competition. California is not OPP
posed to railroads as railroads. Its atti-
tude toward them is hostile only when
they are oppressive or when they step
aside from their legitimate business to
influence legislation or to secure the de-
feat or success of political candidates.
In verification of that statement l have
but to call attention to the railroad re-

that his predecessor had arranged for a

complained of any lack of vigor in the
premises.
1t also demands the repeal of the poll
tax. and exemption of small homesteads
and personal property from taxation; but
lance tax. AS an income is personal prop
erty, and such property passes by inheri-
lance. it is somewhat difficult to see how
such taxes can be levied when personal
property is exempt from taxation.
The platform views with alarm the
number of unemployed people. A good
way to stop that would be for the Popu-
list to go home vote the Republican
ticket and stop forever hammering poltti-
cal tomtoms that frighten men from en-
barking in enterprise. Let him insure US
an undisturbed Republican administra-
ton and l will insure him that no one
with a pair of hands and a willingness to
work will remain unemployed.
