AROUND THE WORLD.

Arrangements have been made by the Sunday schools and young peoples societies of the South Methodist, Pres byterian and North Methodist churches for a course of three costume lectures, to be given by Rev. A. M. Lumpkin of Peoria, Ill.,, on his recent tour around the world MT. Lumpkins has been featuring in many of the principal cities of the south and west during the past winter and wherever he has been his lectures are spoken of in the highest terms.

But the lec- lures will be free to everybody, the object being not only to furnish three evenings of excellent entertainment for the young people of the city, but that they may receive the benefits of tn educational force of the lectures
 MT. Lumpkins has large number of curios brought by him from the orient. and also costly costumes from the vari- ous nations through which he passed

EVERYBODY FOR IT.
The Road to Globe the Leading Street
 Topic Yesterday

That the meeting of the business men Wednesday evening at the Hotel Adams for the purpose of making pre- liminary arrangements for the con- struction of a road to Globe has borne good fruit is not surprising Repre- sentatives of The Republican have for more than two weeks been canvassing the valley for the views of the people as to the feasibility of the undertaking and had become well satisfied that all that was needed to start the ball roll ing was a little push with enough en- ergy behind it to suggest earnestness This push it has been the privilege of The Republican to give, with the re- suit that the proposition yesterday was more of a leading topic than the news from Washington
 Many of our business men who could not find it convenient to attend the meeting of the night previous ex- pressed regret at their inability to at tend but were enthusiastic after read ing the report in detail in The Repub- lican yesterday morning and are anx- ious to be recognized as enlisted and mustered in for any duty, influence contribution or personal service until the last blasS has been made and tho last shovel of dirt has been thrown on the artery which will connect Globe with Phoenix.
 Speaking of the benefits to result from such a road, one of cur leading men yesterday afternoon said. 'I have l been making a rough calculation in the matter and I arrive at this con- clusion: Globe now has 2,00O inhabi- tants. Figure that it costs 50 cents a day to provide for each person and you have sum of S1,0O0 per day. That
 means, say, S30,000 per month, S3eO, 900 per year. Divide this in two. a very low estimate of the necessities Of any civilized community in this day
 and age, and you have S15,O00 per
 month, or s130,000 per year. Cut it down still smaller and say that these
 people will expend not more than S100,O00 year for what they need that amount would come into this val | ley-every cent of it-and becomes a | circulation of cash not to be sneezed | at, especially if it can be had for an
 original outlay of only S10,000 or S15,- | 000 with but little cost per year to | maintain it.
 And then, too, you must take into consideration the fact that Globe and ! it's surrounding country is growing and
 as it grows so it adds to the sums
 mention as reasonable expectations That road will be a great benefit to every merchant, hotel man, rancheI 1 and land owner in this valley and not
 one of them will, feel sure, hesitate | abut contributing share of the cost of it's construction"
 Many similar remarks were heard
 during the day SO that it would seem
 as one man put it, "outside the realm of doubt that the result of the agita- tiOn is already assured.

going to be war.

When on that same dread day the heavens are parted and rolled together as a scroll these same skeptics will observe that it is another, Arizona sand storm, and when at last the earth begins to be consumed with a fervent heat, they will mop their brows and remark that we are having little touch of Yuma weather,

SMITH OF ARIZONA.
Whatever Doubt of War Existed Is
 Now Removed.

There seems to be no way out of it. Gentlemen may cry Peace! Peace! but there is no peace. The war is ac- tually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north Gin this case from the easD will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms" This is according to Bodega bulletins, one of which was received yesterday and the other the day before. It had been addressed to the Gazette and stated that the majority in favor Of the house foreign relations committee re- port had been greatly augmented by the support of Smith of Arizona. MT. Smith not only voted for the resolu- tion, but he voted in loud voice, so that nobody who heard his sonorous Aye" could have mistaken it for No" MT. Smith is indubitably in favor of war
 Another bulletin yesterday carried information that Smith of Arizona is speaking in the senate. Strongly ad- vocates a declaration of war and the independence of Cuba" Phoenix will not be surprised today to see the posting of the following bulletin: Smith of Arizona at the NGlite House
  Spain and has ordered out the naval and military forces of the United States"
 To people who have only super ficial knowledge of public affairs it may seem that Smith Of Arizona is overstepping his constitutional limita- tions. They did net suppose he had a right to vote at all, and they will in quire what earthly business he had haranguing the senate upon a matter which has not been presented for con- sideration yet-a declaration of war. These superficial people will think they see a mistake in the course of Smith of Arizona. If war is declared by his vote and at his instance in an irregular and unconstitutional man ner, the United States cannot hope to enjoy the fruit of victory. Spain, they think, will appeal from the bloody arbitrament on the ground that the war was not regularly begun, inasmuch as it was precipitated by and with the cOnnivance of Smith, who, under the constitution, is not al lowed a vote and is not permitted to be heard on any subject which does not pertain to his own territory. These superficial folks think that Spain will have good ground for appeal, that the judgment of battle will be re- versed and the whole thing will lave to be gone over again.
 But the folks do not take into con- sideration all the circumstances. This is an emergency to which men like Smith of Arizona are expected to rise The men who framed the constitution debarring Smith from voting before Smith was born and before they knew what manner of man he was going to be, are to blame that Smith of Ari- zona was deprived of the privilege of voting and restricted in debate, and Smith ought not to be made to suffer for the error of others. The American people will stand by Smith of Arizona The war which he may declare today goes, and if Spain gets licked, as she undoubtedly will be, she will have no remedy.
 But there is another class of people in Phoenix who do not think there is

to call on Mr. Smith and impress upon him if possible that that hole in his trousers constituted some sort of a lien on the property. Wakeman went away and the city attorney was absent from the city several days. When he re- turned Wakeman called again.
 Well, I saw MT. Bennitt,'' said he.
 And what did he do about it?'' asked the city attorney
 He laughed" replied Wakeman.
 And then what did you do?''
 T went to see Mr. Smith,
 What did he have to say?"
 3'He told be to go tell; not in those exact words, but that was what I in- ferred. You know MT. Smith is rather fleshy and speaks with a sort of a jerk, but that's what I gathered from what he said," replied Wakeman
 That's about what I expected he would say" said the city attorney
 "Now," he continued, ''Im not gc- ing to let you start a city suit fo, satisfaction against MT. Bennitt or any body else. You can bring a civil ac- tion against him for damages"
 ''But I'll have to get lawyer and that'H cost me something," replied Wakeman.
 "Of course" said the city attorney land that reminds me that you've taken up my time, for which I would have charged client much more thar your whole suit is worth. I wish you i wouldn't bother me any more. Talk your trousers to tailor, have them mended and tell him to send the bill to me-"
 Wakeman left and passed out of tht judges mind until yesterday, when he received the bill for repairing his trousers.
