QUITE A HAIL STORM.

The consumption of projectiles and powder in the Santiago naval battle was probably not greater than was necessary. It was probably just about what it might have been expected to be. For that reason the exact figures denoting the weight of the shell and the powder are interesting. The Ore gon's report has been published, and it shows that in all 56,S40 pounds of steel were hurled at the Spanish ships from that vessel alone Tbat is little over twenty-eight tons. The amount of powder used for the charges was prob ably a little less than half as much, or che may reckon it at ten tons, to be on the safe side. The battleship fired aI average of seven shells per minute for the four hours during which she was engaged. It must be borne in mind that these figures relate to ship armed with only few quick-firing guns, however. If the armament had been of the most approved sort, like the BICoklyn's, Captain Clark would per baps have doubled that rate of dis charge and he might easily have trip led it. The report from the Brooklyn, which has five-inch quick-firers, will probably prove this.
Arizona republican., 1898-07-21

The story or Captain General Rlanco's attempt to commit suicide vixen he heard of the defeat of Ger vera's squadron may very likely be true. One of the captains of the doomed vessels took his own life, and cnly four years ago at Wei-hai-Wei a Chinese naval commander did the same thing, though in the latter case there was an additional incentive in the knowledge that he would probably be beheaded if the imperial authorities get hold of him. Self destruction is. of course, unjustifable, but we must remember how deep the grief of an officer may be who loses his ship. He has come to associate her with every thing dear to him. She seems to him a thing of life, not a mere inanimate hulk of wood or steel It is like taking the life of an intimate friend before his eyes to pour shot and shell into her sides. No wonder a sailor weeps to see his ship pounding on the rocks or sinking in mid-ocean.

BAD POSTAL FACILITIES.

The Republican is accommodating charge that the postal facilities in this territory are not perfect in that second class mail matter is discriminated against. Of seven Republicans sent to a subscriber in Flagstaff in the last week two have gone astray. The sub scriber assures us that he does not re- ceive more than five Republicans in any one week. Some take twenty-fOur hours to make the trip; others require fcrty-eight hours. Under the existing schedule The Republican leaving Phoe- nix on the morning of publication should be in the postofice at Flagstaff about 10 o'clock next morning.
 A subscriber at Buckeye complains that he does not receive his paper reg ularly. Frequently he gets two pa pers at once. We are convinced that Ia pcstoffice inspector could find plenty of occupation in this region. The Re publican intends to keep up this agi- tation until every person who handles seccnd class mail matter has the fact in pressed upon him that every news paper passing through his hands must receive the consideration contemplated by the postal law. A paper properly addressed should not be treated with contempt by a postal clerk if it hap pens to fall on the floor. The postal clerk and the people employed to sort mail in the territorial postoff1ces are in honor bound to see that every news paper they handle is directed into it's proper channel without unnecessary delay. Before this crusade is ended the newspapers of Arizona are certain to get better service. The postoff1ce department cannot afford to tolerate the present inefficient methods that operate against newspapers all over Arizona.

A YEAR OF GREAT EXPORTS.

The statistics of the principal arti- clcs of domestic productions exported during the year ending June 30, 1898, are completed by the treasury depart nent, and a remarkable showing they make. Manufactures are not included in this statement, which is confined to food products, cotton and mineral oils Of these we exported in the fiscal year just closed the enormous value of $799,- 007, ,519. This is an increase of $153.- 242,275 over last year, and of $273, ,316,- 57S over the year ending with June, 1885. That is, our foreign trade in these articles has grown more than 50 per cent in three years.
 The greatest increase is in bread stuffs. Of these, last year the United States exported s324, 706,O60, which is S153.615,619 more than the year before, and s213,738, 1902 over the exports of breadstuffs in 1885. That is, in three years our export sales of breadstuffs have increased nearly 200 per cent We have sold abroad nearly 100000 bales of cotton more than last year, and nearly 60,000,000 more gallons of min eral oil, but the lower prices prevail iTs; for these articles has produced a smaller return in money. But the grand total of close upon $500, ,0O0, ,0O0 for the years exports in these products ie record hreaEar

The friends of Governor Murphy wh,

The friends of Governor Murphy who are planning to give him an enthusias- tic reception can hardly carry out their idea in the face of his expressed wish that no demonstration be made upon his arrival in Phoenix ''It is my wish" he declared yesterday in a dis patch from New York to Mr. George w. Vickers, auditor of the territory, that TO reception or public demon stration be had on my arrival. Please notify the press" The fact is recalled that when MT. Murphy was governor he repeatedly declined to take part in receptions or demonstrations proposed to be arranged in his honor. He is plain man without any desire for os- teltatious display. Now, when he assures his friends here that he de- sires to take office without any flour ish of trumpets they are bound to re- spect his wishes There will be time for public reception later, if need be, when hundreds of Ari- zonians now enjoying them selves at summer resorts have returned to their homes and the pol icy of the governor, which is certain to command the respect of the people, has been entered upon.

The New Time, "a reform maga- zine" which in general appeals to the demagcgues and popocrats, draws the line at the present democratic policy of opposing the war and the points thereof, and scores inferentially Jones of Arkansas, White of California, Bai- ley of Texas and the other pinheads who Head" the democracy. Here is a sample of the New Times denuncia- tiCn:
 The time was when there was some pertinency to the remark that the democratic party was a half-educated mob commanded by capable and tall ented leaders. Today it is more nearly ccrfect to assert that the democratic party consists of a fairly intelligent rank and file misled by stupid, incom- petent and blundering generals.
 We see no signs of desire on the part of the democratic party to change leaders. The chances are that it will take another first class beating under the same old crowd of spellbinders.

never expect to be granted home rule or statehood until congress is con- vinced that we are capable of home rule or statehood. Of this. congress will never be convinced until we send a delegate to congress that the United States senate would be willing to ad- init into social terms of equality. Gov ernor Murphy could have carried the statehood bill through had it not been for the silver issue which stood in the way. He carried through nearly all other bills he introduced with a re- markable degree of success. He was personally popular on the floor of con- gress as well as in the senate chamber. Star.
