The committee of twenty-five sp pointed to arrange for the welcom- ing of Governor Murphy on his ar rival, met st Hotel Adams on Satur- day night, when Mayor Adams was elected chairman of the meeting and J. W. Benham secretary. It having been clearly established that Gov ernoi Murphy did not desire a big demonstration it was decided to ap- point a committee of five, who in ad- dition to Governor McCord, Mayor Adams and J. D. Monihon, will meet Governor Murphy at the capitol grounds station and escort him to Hotel Adams, where the reception will be held and will be entirely in- normal.

March of the Rough Riders.

One of the best descriptions of the battle of July 1, before Santiago. that has come under the notice of the writer, is that written by Kennett F. Harris for the Chicago Record. Under the above caption, he gives the following description of the charge made by Colonel Woods regiment:
 At about 10 o'clock the Rough Riders on the left received orders to close in to the Fight and advance along 6 road descending into the plain and leading to Fl Caney. They marched in column for some little distance, the 9th Cavalry on their right and the 18th and 9th h. fAntry on their left. Half 8 mile from the Marisnaie block house. which it was the intention to storm, they deployed into an open field and under a terrific fire took their posi> tiou in the skirmish line. Colonel Wood and Colonel Roosevelt were both mounted, and made no attempt to shelter themselves or their men. Roosevelt, still on horseback, led the first charge-a rush of thirty yards and bis voice encouraging his men was heard through sll the din of the guns above and the cracking rife yolleys below.
 Just as the men had lain down after a rush, Captain W. O. ONeill, of Troop A, who was standing in front of the line faced to his com mand. "Close in to the right, men, at the next rush," he called. "You will have a better chance there. !" Then he turned to speak to Captain Robert Sewall. General Youngs ad- jutant, who had just coms up. As he did so, buIlet struck him in the mouth aud killed him instantly. Lieutenant Frantz ran up and bent over him for 6 moment, but there was no time for him to do more than to assure himself that life was ex- tinct. He took command and the regiment swept on.

General Garcia was one of the few Cuban officers. for whom the JoU9- NAL MINER has had some respect and admiration. His recent actions show that even he is unworthy of it. The Cubans, as a class, never have exci- ted our admiration or sympathy ex- cept in so far as they have been sub iected to indignities and torture by their Spanish oppressor>. These nave appealed to one's sympathies as a matter of humanity only. They are unit for self government and If spain had been less barbarousin her ,featmeut of thsm. and had not ueen guilty of such en act of treach- eIy and murder as the blowing up of the Maine, she never would have been interfered with in her govern meut of the islands.
 The subscription to the war loan shows that there is neither scarcity of money or patriotism in this eoun- try. The total amount of subscrip- tions to these bonds was Sl y365,- 100000, or over six hundred Aand eighty-two times the amount called for. Had it not been known that the subscriptions would far exceed the amount required, the sum would have been doubled. The amount subscribed equals nearly 5000 per capita of the population passing it at ! 75.OO0,OOO. and yet there are those who claim that the amount of money m the United States does n )t exceed $500 per capita. Nearly one-half oi the S2OO.OOO,OO0 of bonds will be in lots of $500 or less, and no sub scriber will get over 5000.
 The republican patty has not en- dorsed any policy on the part of this government towards territory cap tured during the war, but the class of men who are coming out in favor of our giving up everything we may have captured at the close of the war, make it almost certain that the "Grand Old Party" will, at the proper time, be found advocating a policy of holding on to all we get.
 The Tucson Star is suggesting Major Brodie and Captain McClin- tock as possible republican canal dates for delegate to congress from this territory.

pIsLoYALrY IN BUSINESS.

4 short time since the press Of the United States was praising the New York Life Insurance Company for its apparently generous offer to sub scribe for SlO,OO0OO0 of United States bonds to assist in the prose cution of the war. It looked like a generous and patriotic act on the part of the great corporation. It turns out to have been simply a sell fish one to detract attention from positively disloyal act, however. While making this offer to the United States, it is charged against the company that it annulled its restrictive clauses in Spanish poli- cies, granting permission to its policy holders to enter the military or naval service, to fight the United States. without prejudice, and of- fered to loan money for the purpose of assisting to keep those policies in force, all of which are practical aids to the resources of the enemy.
 The London Review contains a scathing denunciation of the policy of this great corporation, and of its position in the present war, Tn which it says:
 1t viii be seen by our cOrrespon- dents letter that while the New York Life office was periodically offering to lend the United States government Sl00O0000 at any rate of interest the goTernmeut chose to give, it was on the other hand gen erously assuring the Spanish policy holders that they are at iUsrty tO fight against the government C. ,he United States with absolute Peaca of mind as regards the efeet;.e- ness of their policies. Surely as complicated position as any r triotic American O. ostriotic Span iard could ever expo 70 be pls ,C in.
 ~Tt becomes a or of nigh state polio as 10 bo' ar Uni Q" States gov lment Is bound to .ake notice of is action ID Spain of the New York Life. If Mir. Secretary of State Seward were in office, or a for mer secretary of war, MT. Stanton, it is rot improbable that Mir. Me Call, prs sideut of the insurance company, might hear of this, and in positively unpleasant terms. And Fort Lafayette is still habitable, we think.
 "It appears from purely financial point of view that all policy holders of the New York Life, other than Americans and Spaniards, are to be muleted of a portion of their cash to help the combatsnts fight free of all responsibility. Hardly a position for a great fife insurance company to insist on advertising, but one which involves delightful possibili- ties

SOME DEMOCRATIC LOGIC.

The Flagstaff Gem asserts that ''the silliest rot is the assertion that a delegate in political harmony with the administration at Washington could secure statehood for Arizona" It then proceeds to demonstrate that its own assertion in the matter is the silliest rot by stating that, ''the national administration is opposed to the admission of Arizona for political reasons. The political friends of the administration know the fact, and it shows unlimited gall to assert thssss e measure could or would he put through if asked for by republican delegate. Now there is logic for you. The national administration is opposed to the admission of ArIzona for political reasons only" That IS because the territory elects a democratic dele gate to congress, hence if the voters should place themselves in harmony with the administration by electing a republican delegate, statehood would be knocked sky high" of
 political reasons. This is a ''gem" for logic. The natural and reason able sUpposition would be that, if admission is opposed for political reasons only. the moment the terri tory puts itself in harmony witL the administration by alectiug 9 -epub- lican to represent It, this opposite would cease. Should statehood be promised on those condition
 though. many oi our democratic friends would not accept it. Tn : do not want ststsbDl @ mucL % they desire party s ss p:

TsE CARRIER MUST PAY.

The war revenue law requires stamps to be affixed q receipts issued br common carriers for Tsckages' etc. delivered to them. Express companies have ruled that shippers must pay for the stamp, while they affix and cancel it.
 The question having been brought to the attention of Assistant Secre- tary Boyd, he has made the follow ing ruling on it: "The law makes it the duty of every railroad and steam boat company, carrier, express com pany. corporation or person whose occupation is to act as such to ls'1e to the shipper, consignor or his agent or person from whom any goods are accepted for transporta- ton, a bill of lading, manifesto or some other evidence of the receipt of goods, wares or merchandise re- ceived for carriage and transports tion and this bill of lading, mani festo, or memorandum, requires a revenue stamp to be affixed to it and cancelled. In case of failure to issue such bill of lading, the law imposes A fine of $50 upon.the carrier guilty of such failure.
 "The penalty for failure to so atti1 stamp is not more than SlOO. The purpose of the law is clear. It was to tax the corporation and not the shipper, and those provisions un- doubtedly fix upon the express com. panies and other carriers the duty of providing, afixing and cancelling the stamp, and their failure to so provide, affix and cancel such, sub iects them to the penalties provided by law. It is suggested that some of the carriers are refusing to re- ceive goods until the shipper pays the tax. While it is not my pro vince to advise as to the recourse which the shipper may have in in- stances of this kind, yet l am sure that laws are ample to require pub lie carriers and express companies to receive goods rendered for ship ment, or suffer damages for such refusal"

The wisdom of President Me Kinley's policy in opposing the recognition of a Cuban government at the outbreak of hostilities IS be- ing faIly demonstrated, as the abso- Iute sel6shness and worthlessness of ,te Cubans is being demonstrated. The Cubans had no government to recognize in the first place. They had a make shift which they callsd such. but it was possessed of no force CT authority. The Cuban has dem estrated Lis. ability to eat American food. blt has demon strated that he cannot be relied on 10 fight. His idea of war is that this government should feed and clothe him, furnish hIm with arms and ammunition, which he will not use, and then when a territory IS captured. it should be turned over to him to loot and despoil. It be- gins to look now as if the United States would have to lick Spain sin gle handed and alone, and may probably be compelled to lick the CubaDs, too.
 France cannot conceal the fact, which is a disgrace to her, that her persecution of Dretfus, and Zola. is due to the fact that they are Jews. During Rola's recent trial the pub lie prosecutor charged that Zols vas stunning a trial, to which his counsel replied: We will not shun trial if we are allowed to bring our proofs This statement led to a great upro4r in court, and cries oi "Down with Zola!" Down with the JewsF' "Out of France with theml The real snImus of the case was thus revealed although it has been apparent to all disinterested fair minded men for a long time that religious prejudice was at the bottom of these prosecutions. No wonder that a native of France, re- siding in Prescott, recently wrote to his brother in his native country that he was proud that he was an American citizen, and sympathized with his relative, for being citizen of a country which has always boasted of its love of liberty, m dependence, and freedom ofthought but which is now governed by bigotry and prejudice. These cases are enough to bring a blush oi shame to the cheek of any true Frenchman.

May Enter Mexico.

According to Mexican advises, the Goulds have become much in- terssted in: the republic and may begin the work of railroad building beyond the Rio Grande. It is stated that their representative has been in Mexico for the past several weeks making 6 careful inspection of the Monterey & Mexican Gulf railroad, with a view to its purchase from the Belgian bondholders. h the event of the requirement of this line a direct connection will be made with it at Monterey by build ing an extension of the Intern ational & Great Northern road from Laredo, Texas, to the former city. This ex- tension would parallel the Mexican National road, and would give Texas points a direct deep water outlet via Tampico, Mexice.-Ex.
 Rev. and Mrs. c. K. Jenness and the latter's sister returned last eve ming from an outing of five days, during which they visited Camp Verde, Montezuma We'll, Jerome and other points of interest. In crossing the Verde river . single tree broke when their team started to turn round, and threatened disas- ter to them. To sdd to their per plexities was the trescherous nature of the bottom of the stream which contained quick sand. A Baptist minister happened along at an op- perfume time and being more used to the water assisted them out of their unpleasant situation. On the return trip they stopped at Haskell < Kirwsggen's ranch, where they were very hospitably received and were astonisked at the beauties of the place. While the peach crop is total failure this year, there will be an abundance of apples, while the melon and tomato crop is inn mense. They stopped one night at Jerome and were very much enter tained in the wonders of that place. Near the summit on this side of Je- rome they report having seen dead COW standing erect against some bushes. Just how she came to be in this position, dead, they could not explain, unless killed byflightning. While they are considerably bronzed they feel much refreshed from their experience.
