OUR OPPORTUNITY.

"The time has come," said Colonel BrCdie, in his speech at Flagstaff Sat urday night, when statehood can be attained and this question is para mount to all others When statehood has been secured and the people are given voice in national affairs ra- tional questions can be discussed without limit
 This is the view advanced by the Republican from the beginning of the campaign. Every question thus far dragged into the campaign is dwarfed by that Of statehood There is no other issue SC attractive Every pro- gressive citizen Of this territory knows that if Arizona were admitted tc the sisterhoCd of states conditions here would change for the better. State hood would give a stability to values and business generally that would have most helpful effect throughout this
 rand region. There is unlimited cap ital in the east looking for investment in progressive, conservative communi- ties. Every man who has tried to en- list capital in Arizona enterprises will tell you that the fact that this is a ter ritoTy proves in most casss to be an in surmountable obstacle. The territorial form Of government does not appeal to people of means who have always lived in a full Aedged state. Swaddling clothes are never attractive; the first pair of trousers or the first dress claims deserved attention.
 While strong efforts have been made to secure statehood political conditions have been opposed to their success. Just now a change is going on. The republicans are certain to have ma jcrity in the next house. There is likely to be a good republican majority in the senate, as ths terms of many democrats are about to expire, and pc litical conditions in their states have altered since 1896. Holding control in both houses the republican leaders are certain to entertain a different at titude toward the claim of Arizona for statehood Arizona, be il understood, has come to be better known and appreciated in the east through eastern association with Colonel Brodie and the brave troopers that he commanded. The name Rough Rider is revered in the east. The president favcrs statehood fer Ar;zona, and his influence will be all powerful All that Arizona has to do is to eject Colonel Brodie as it's delegate to con- gross, and elect a republican lagisla- ture. Such action would constitute a notification to the congress that Ari- zora is thoroughly in t3uch with the republican party and therefore entitled to the fullest cons.dsrat;on at it's ; hands.
 No sensible man can deny the force of this argument The object to be at tained is wcrth any reasonable sacri- fee. Democrats can afford to lay aside party considerations this fall and make their votes count to the full in bring i ing about the logical form Of "home
 ruie." The opportunity is here, gen. 1 tlemen, and nc sophistry can becloud | the issue. Once statehood is attained
 there will be plenty of time to take up ] issues that now have no standing. ! State politics will ba more attractive i than territorial. Let us join hands in 1 electing a republican delegata and re-
 publican legislature. Congress will do
 the rest, and that quickly.

CAPITOL BUILDING BONDS
Sold Yesterday to Charles R. Mayer oi
 Columbus. O.

The sale of the capitol building bonds was concluded yesterday, the purchaser being Charles R. Mayer of Columbus, O., at par, less 21e per cent commission. MT Mayors bid, though apparently less advantageous than that of the other bidders, was believed by the commission to be really more Tn the first place it assures the taking up of the whole of the S10e.o00 issue and the immediate payment Of the par value. The purchaser also pays for the printing of the bonds and insures whatever legal expense may arise at any time, SO that the ter ritory can be at no other expense than the payment of the commission. which, by the way, comes out of the general fund, leaving the full pro- ceeds of the sale for the building fund.- The actual work of building will be begun in ninety lays. It can not be begun a day earlier. There must be a sixty days advertisement for plans. The preparation of the advertisement has been already be- gun, as well as the preparation of a circular of instructions to architects who desire to bid.
 On the acceptance of the plans, there
 will be thirty days of advertising for contracts and then the walls of The capitol will begin to rise.

ADJUSTMENTS.

1.-The Heart of Chicago drew a good
house at the Orpheum last night. 1t is
regular New York Under the Gas
Light melodrama, with the scenes
shifted to Chicago. The people are
fairly good, with some good comedy
specialists that are prominent in the
group. It is the old story of the
villainous partner, embezzled money, a
wronged child, attempted murder of
the victim of treachery, a great fire,
railroad train stopped in time, a hero
cast from lofty building, but saved
by a painters platform; the final tri-
umph of virtue and the fall of vice.
Some of the scenery is pretty, view
of Chicago from a roof garden,
perspective of one of the avenue, the
Court Of Honor of the Worlds Fair
and a railway scene. The latter is the
best and saves the play, which other
wise is cheap and commonplace and
runs in old, worn grooves. In the rail-
way scene the effect of train ap-
preaching from a distant point, and
finally drawing up head on, at the
footlights is neatly and very effective
ly worked, is original and clever and
quite worth seeing. The play is ex-
ceedingly Bowery in character, and
revels in types of the East Side" or
der. One ~of these, "a tough girl"
another a bootblack,. and still another
a tramp, are we'll done. There is a
clever Irish dialect actor, and SOU
brette who is lively, and in duet
with al ctough boy but an honest one,
creates much merriment. The same
play again tonight.

THE TIDE AS A MOTIVE POWER.

Thomas A. Edison, Jr., proposes to
astonish the world presently by DEM
onstrations of an invention, whereby
the action of the tides will be availed
of to create and transmit motive
power for great cities So far as orig
inality is concerned, the method of
Edison may be new. but engineers
have for many years been inventing
machines for the utilization of wave
and tidal motions. One of the best,
simplest and most practicable of the
wave motors was invented by a Lieu
tenant of the regular army many years
ago, while he was stationed at the
San Francisco Preside.
Edison's plan is not to use the mo-
ton of the tides direct, but rather to
transmit their power. He proposes to
erect power building over the water
which viii be some 500 feet in length
and 800 feet in width. 1t will rest upon
massive foundations. upon which also
will rest a gigantic pivot. On this
will be supported several huge steel
pipes, each fifteen feet in diameter and
100 feet in length These pipes will
oscillate as does the walking beam Of
a steamer.
Pistons in each end of the pipes
will relate to compressed air cylinders
above them BY the up and down
motion Of the pipes the pistons will
be pushed and withdrawn, thus fur
nishing enormous power in compress
ing air. AS the machinery is reversi-
BILE, it operates when the tide falls as
well as when it rises. During the
time when the tides ceases, has no
appreciable motion, immense storage
reservoirs of compressed air will serve
to keep up the pressure which gives
the engines to which the air is conn
pressed their power.
In theory the scheme appears FEAST
bic, but it remains to be seen how
far it will work on trial: The only
serious objection thus far urged
against it is that the primal machin-
cry is so massive that it will be liable
to interruption by slight causes. 1t
is to be said that the idea of utilizing
wave and tidal power by the use of
floats and blades operating upon trans
mitting mechanism to compress air Is
not new. The application, however,
under Edison's methods may be so
novel as not to cross any present pat
<ents.
