Ex-Secretary of State Sherman may
be in his dotage, as has been charged
by the designing politicians of the
Mark Hanna stripe who are shelving
him because they could not mould him
as they wished. His recent utterances
on the war and the design of the re-
publican party in the expansion of ter
ritory, however, prove that he is still
country. In an interview with the
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic he said: sit will not do
for the men in Congress who forced
the war upon the nation to charge it to
the newspapers and join in the howl
against the inetf1ciency of the army.
The blood of our men who went forth
under the impulse of the moment to
defend our flag is upon the heads of
the men in Congress who brought on
the war and all of it's consequent suf-
fering.
"Why should we go to war with a ma
ton so much smaller than we are?" con-
tinued Mr. Sherman. ave certainly
don't need any additional territory.
We cannot consistently annex Cuba,
for we have declared that we would not
do so.
"Are we to go to the world and prove
that we get up in Congress and make
solemn declarations without the slight
est intention of abiding by them? No,
no; this whole idea of expansion is con-
trary to the best interests of the United
States, and we shall live to see the day
that we shall regret the acquisition of
territory beyond our compact and
thoroughly assimilated combination of
States.
1--WE are crying out for the Govern
ment to take the Philippines, without
stopping to consider what it means, nor
the responsibilities we shall incur. 1t
means that we shall have to keep stand
ing armies in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, and the flower of our
youth must be sacrificed in these dead
ly climates because of an unwise and
inconsiderate act of the American Con-
gress.'

positions on the ticket of mediocre in
telligence, they are assigned to the leg
islature or board of supervisors, when
the brainest men of the county should
have been selected. The democratic
county convention of Navajo want to
reverse this course of procedure in
their actions to-day. There are many
laws on our statute books that should
be repealed or amended. We should
select men who are familiar with our
territorial laws and who have the in
telligence and judgment to select the
good from the bad, and the moral cour-
age and honesty to legislate for the peo-
pie not individuals. For supervisors
they should ominate men of business
experience-broad- -gauged men-men
who are conversant with the needs and
resources of the county, and who are
capable of conducting the county gov
ernment to the advantage of the coun-
ty at large and not for the especial ben-
eft Of the neighborhood in which they
reside. They are selected by the en-
tire people of the county, and unless
they serve their constituents alike they
betray the trust reposed in them.

"Penrose will accept" was the brief
telegram received from the south to-
day by Tucson statesman who is in
the city to attend the republican COM
mittee meeting. Having found man
who is willing to embrace the forlorn
hope, there remained nothing in the
way for calling territorial conven-
tion.''
Some weeks ago convention OF the
q. O. o. was called to met at Flagstaff,
September IA, but as the only idea
then seemed to be to endorse the now
faded administration of McCord, the
edict was withdrawn and the public
has been in doubt whether the republi-
can party, the gold standard clans,
would compete in the race for delegate
to congress.
Now, that Penrose has decided to ac-
cept and open his barrel, it will be in
order for him to register and thus be-
come legal resident and vote in the
territory.
Mr.. Penrose is one of the owners of
the Pearce mine in Cochise county and
his purse is supposed to be the fattest
in the territory.-The Enterprise.

Promising Outlook for the Mining
Industry.

With peace comes promise of unus-
ual activity in mining. Competition in
other forms of business makes possi-
BILE only slight interest, if any, on the
shrewdest investments; the absence of
ruinous competitions and the unriv.
aled opportunity for cooperation must
make mining a favorite form of invest
ment. Mining was the pioneer indus
try throughout this region from the
Rockies to the Pacific; it continues
pre-eminent; it transends all others in
its commercial relation; it supplies
solid, irdestructible wealth, and upon
its success rises or falls all other pur-
suits. It has been noted that the miner
is not competitor; new farm or
new factory or new store means more
competition; new mine means more
consumers, more customers for all
other industries without competition
with any, and the miner is good GUS
toner; he excels in the number Of de-
pendent industries he keeps in opera
ton. Each miner affords employment
for ten additional men-the merchant,
the machinist, the manufacturer, the
farmer, the stock raiser, the dairyman,
smelters, mills, railroads, suppliers of
of every kind get a generous share of
the wealth he produces. He creates
the best cash market, consuming the
products of others without competing
in their production.-Mining and Sci
entific Press.

A Million Pensioners.

The annual report of the commits
sioner of pensions, now in course of
preparation, gives the surprising in
formation that the government is sup
porting over 100000 pensioners. More
than a generation, thirty-three years,
has passed since the close of the civil
war, and yet there are now more PEN
sioners than ever before. There are
twice as many as there were ten years
ago. In 1890 the mum Der had gradually
increased to the half-million mark and
from there it has so rapidly advanced
as to add another half million in eight
years.
The amazing statement is made now
that more than $1,000 original claims
were granted during the past year.
And the total annual payment will
probably approximate $150,O00,O 900 now,
an increase of nearly one-third in eight
years.
Tt seems impossible that such figures
can be compatible with an administra-
tion of the pension department. Lax
management of the bureau must be
largely responsible for the vast and
alarming enlargement of the pension
rolls. There is no apparent solution
to the mystery. except on the ground
that the government is being outra'
geously swindled by pension agents
and lobbyists.-Los Angeles Herald.

Our Secretary of the Treasury has
the courage of his convictions and the
manliness to let the world know them
He has disapproved of Alger's conduct
of the war from the beginning, and as
it progressed his disgust became SC
great that he refused to recognize the
Secretary of War even at Cabinet meet
ings. It remains to be seen what action
the administration will take in regard
to the charges being made against Sec
retary Alger. If an investigation is to
be made, it should be by persons who
are compentent, impartial, honest, and
in no wise connected with the army.
Otherwise the administration will lay
itself open to the charge of whitewash-
ing.

An Arizona volunteer who had been
through the campaign of Santiago was
overheard conversing with an old friend
in New York, says an eastern paper,
about as follows: aI never saw any
thing like it. Talk about the prodigal
SON and the fatted calf! Why, they
weren't in it all The prodigal son
doesn't figure. / could give him cards
and spades and beat him out on his
own deal. Why, there's nothing too
good for me. The folks kiss me when
l go out and when 7 come in. I can
take my bicycle in the front way-a
thing I never dared do before. I can
smoke in the parlor. It all goes. No
body says word. / never amounted
to anything before. I was always in
the way about the house. But now i
own the block. The girls all look at
me as If I were little deity. Why,
even my sister, who never had any use
for me before-said / was stupid and
never could do the right thing at the
right time-is doing the loving en-
brace act every minute. Why, believe
I could sprinkle the sitting-room floor
with ashes and she would never regis

During the progress of the war the
affair of the Maine has been subordi-
mated in public interest to the events
in which the American army and navy
were participating, nor was the matter
mentioned, SO far as the public knows,
in the preliminary peace negotiations.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that
the matter is to be ignored. It cer-
tainly ought not to be. The American
members of the peace commission, when
that body convenes in Paris, must re-
member the Maine and insist upon an
indemnity for the loss of that battle
ship, and also for every American
sailor murdered at the time of the de-
struction of that vessel. - Chicago

It is a curious fact that red-headed
pleople are far less apt to become bald
than those whose hirsute covering is
of another hue. The average crop on
the head of red-haired person is said
to be 10000 hairs. Ordinary dark hair
is far finer, and over three dark hairs
take up the space of one red one; 1885,
600 are about the average. But fair
haired people are still better off; 140,-
600 to 100000 are quite common num-
Der of hairs on the scalp of fair
haired man or woman. A curious cal
culation has been made to the effect
that the hairs on the head of fair
haired person, if they could be plated
together, would sustain weight Of
something like eighty tons, equalinR
that of 500 people.-Medical Record.

The cattle returned in the five coun-
ties, Gila, Graham, Cochise, Pima and
Pinal. aggregate 254, 700, or over 64 per
cent of the total number. That is,
practically, two-thirds of all the cattle
in the territory are found in the five
counties named. Graham ranks first
with the number of cattle, with Co.
chise close second. Some we'll in
formed stockmen believe that, if the
truth was known, Cochise would take
first place. Yavapai has the largest

That American live beef is finding
favor in England rapidly is beyond all
question, aud that intimate relations
will soon be established between Texas

sumers by means of exports from the

successful shipment of live stock
from Galveston to England exceed
those on shipment North as rule by

The people of Kingman are anxious.
ly watching the new railroad scheme
which promises to put road from that
point to the Colorado river, termin-
ating at the Temple Bar camp. The
completion of such a road would pre-
cipitate growth in the mining indus

try whose mineral resources are excep-
tionally valuable; at the same time it
create havoc among the freighters who

The closing of the war must be very
distasteful to Senators Hanna and Ell
kins. It also closes their contracts for
supplying the navy with coal from
their mines, at price 30 cents per ton
higher than superior coal could have
been purchased in Alabama and deliv-
cred on board at saving OF 10 per
cent on freight charges. These patriots
and the official patriot who authorized
the contract, have the sympathy of
the country for the losses peace brings
them-loss of money. loss of position
