JonN BARRETT, late United States min ister to Siam, gives eight reasons why the Philippines should be retained by the United States. They are as follows
 1. They form an unsurpassed com. mercial basis in the far east.
 ?. As England has Hong Kong and Singapore; France Saignon, Russis Port Arthur, Germany Kiao-Chou the United States would have Manila as an American capital in the far east.
 3. We would have in the islands one of the greatest undeveloped opportuni. ties in the world.
 ]. Manila is large and wealthy city, located on fine harbor.
 5. The possession of the islands would place American merchants and manu facturers in closer relation with ali Asia
 6. The islands under rational govern. ment would become self-supporting.
 [. They are necessity as a styate eical naval base.
 8. The growing importance of the Pacific, of Pacific commerce, requires their possession.

Ir will be seen by the following from the Phoenix Republican, that Colonel McCord is not to remain in Arizona, and that those who planned his removal from Arizona's political arena, were not countiong without their host, and that when McCord doffed his official robes as governor of this territory he was polite ally dead, 90 far as Arizona is concerned. The Republican says: "The bids oi the railroads for tho transportation of Col McCord's regiment to Lexington, Ky, were oreued at Prescott yesterday and the contract was awarded to the South ern Pacific. The figures of the compet- ing com panis are not known. The regi- ment will, therefore, come through Phoenix. The regiment will leave Whipple On September 2l." Adios, colonel.

TIE Republican conventlon 10 nomi- nate a man to be "knocked down" will assemble in Prescott on the 2Gth instant, few days after the the Democratic host have nominated Mark Smith for the fifth time to represent the cause Of the people. The Cochise county delega- tion consists of w. r. Nichols, Lewis Williams, c. c. Warner, G. W. Swain and William Schilliam, all good repre- sentative citizens who recognize that their interests can be best subserved by sending to congress man who is both able and capable, and it is their wish that Mark Smith succeed himself. While they are chasing rainbows the gentlemen have not committed them selves as to who is to be slaughtered, but some one must be placed to the fore that the g. O. p. may not lose it's iden- tity in the Treasure Territory. Any thing to let the public know i've are hero," and so they have determined to place. Captain Jim McClintock as a tar get, caring little about his shattered
 limbs if he will only come before Amer ican ballots and pull through horde of office seekers who are 10th to relinquish the reins which guide the public to re- plenish the treasury which maintains those who spin not. Cuban sodies are revered, but the politiciars, who would thus belittle patriot that they them selves might prosper, will receive the most deserved rcbuko that a poltroon ever had occasion to sneak away from Captain McClintock is gentleman who would not lend himself to such subter- fuge; he is honest, capable and patri- otic; he has fought for his country with out bis republican friends receiving a scratch. Now that he has proven him. self man it is not fair that the "stay- at-homes" should ride into prominence at the expense of one who has suffered for the public veal. But there is no telling the length of thepoliticians cable tows

THE ORE is pleased to note that our friends, the enemy, has about decided upon choice to the upper house of the territorial legislative assembly, and we are more than pleased that they have chosen well in selecting the best that their ranks afford. Captain G. w. Pit tock, the lifelong republican and inim- itable correspondent of the Tombstone Prospector has succumbed to his party's needs and will submit himself in defense of the principles he 50 ab-y espouses. It speaks we'll for the republican party when it puts to the front such sterling men as G. w. Pittock. He is by far the most able and popular man at th cir command. True, Mir. Pittock has been scarce two weeks in Cochise county, but by his indomitable energy and strict reliability for republicanism he has en- deered himself to the g 0. p. and will now receive the reward of the faithful. In the event that Mir. Fittock fails to receive the republican nomination for the legislature he will continue edit the democratic department of the Tomb stone Prospector.

ONE OF THE ISSUES.

1t seems quite certain that the demo. cratic territorial convention will adopt resolutions denouncing, among other acts of the republican territorial admin istration, the refunding of the old Yava- pal county railroad bonds. This refund. ing has been distinctively territorial republican measure, begun by Oakes Murphy when he was in congress and completed whepa republican governor was appointed for the territory. The democrats have consistently fought this measure, not with desire to repud;; late any just obligations but from sense of justice to the community tt.,at has been victimized. Several Of the democratic county conventions have spoken out on this subject wi....n no uncertain sound. The democrats of Maricopa county, for instance, said:
 Ir,e funding of nearly $300,000 of Illegal bonds, the payment oi every spu- rious claim against the territory, the en- fsrcement of an unjust contract at Yuma, are samples of the recklessness char acterizing the McCord administration" :"
 The platform adopted by the demo- crats of Gila county has the following:
 "ln support of these charges we cite the gross mismanagement of the terri torial penitentiary and the iniquitous ao.called prison contract law; the fund.- ing of the Yavapai county boads and payment of interest thereon without waiting for judicial determination as to their validity and while the issue as ts whether or not they were valid was and is enjoinned in court" etc.

AMoNG the offices of the most import
 ant in a county is that of Assessor; we
 should not put forward one who would capitalize his influence for personal agrandizement or pefpetuation of party
 principles; we need broad-gauged business man, one who has interests in common and who will do his duty con- scientiously to himself and, in the
 event of he himself being a contributor
 to the public fund the larger donators will not suffer but will be adjudged pro ratta. The Democratic party of Cochise has determined to put forward none but the best in every department, men who are above reproach and who will be an honor to the party and favor ties with the public. To this end F.. NJ. Mckay of Bsbee is being strongly urged by tho proprrty-holders of the county to allow his name to be placed before the Democratic Nominating Con- vention as candidate for County As' sessor. Mir. Mckay needs no common dation at our hands, being we'll and favorably known throughout Cochse county, his sterling character being sufficient recon mendation for any posi- ton the public may call upon him to occupy. We hope Mir. Mckay may ac- cede to the demands of his friends.

THE next legislature should pass some law to prevent such frequent changes in books for public schools in Arizona. A change every four years is too tempt ing a bait for speculative deals which work untold hardships upon families who are unable to stand the cost. In every neighborhood in Arizona there are large families with houses full of school books of recent approval, and these families are now called upon to expend froai $l0 to $25 and $40 each for new books. A great many oi these fam flies are simply unable to buy the books, and to appropriate district school moneys for that purpose will have tendency to ehorten of school.-- Prescott Courier.

THE mastering out of the volunteers is likely to be popularly regarded as a slow and tedious operation because of the necessary formaiities attending it. The war department has prepared a blank form which calls for every i'm portant incident of each volunteer 'a career in the service of the government, especially with reference to his sickness, wounds or other disabilities. This in- wolves a physical examination of every soldier, and the information thus ob tained must be based on the official records of the organization to which the volunteer belongs and on his personal knowledge of the facts in his case. 4 volunteer will not be mustered out until his entire company has been examined and made It's declarstions.--The Silver Belt.

WHILE Murphy did less for Arizona during the two years he was in con gress than has our present delegate during any similar period, he was &C., tive and demonstrated he could secure the passage of bills. The attempts to grab the normal school timber lands and the Murphy addition to the fund.- ing law. under which the Yavapai bonds were ioisted on the territory, are evi, dences of his handiwork. Smith has not done much for Arizona; neither did Murphy. The latter gentleman, however, did something to the terri. tory, for which he will never hold another elective ofIice.--PhoeniA En- teyprlse.

THE group oI m,nes recently pUr- chased by the SOUTH BfspEE COPPER NlNIsG AND TOWNSHIP IMPROVEMENT COMPANY are situate on the south west side ot this copper basin, and extend from the top of the moun- tains on the west to the center of the basin on the east. Few people have any conception Of the orc bodies or the unlimited amour of mineral that lies in this basin. The Copper Queen Company has been operating here for eighteen years and are down only 5O0 feet, simply because they found sufficient ore be tween there and the surface, to keep them in constant operation. It is said by parties who have the oppOr. tunity to know, that they now have sufficient ore in sight to maintain their present output for l5 years witstcut having to sink another t0ot; and what is true of their property must be true of this Oompauy's property when developed.

Every dollar of the proceeds from the sale of shares of stock and from the sale of the Company's town lots and blocks, which we estimate will be large sum, will be invested in sinking shafts, development work, the erection of hoisting works and modern smelters, and all necessary movements, to make this enter prise successful ln every way.
