BONNER AND THE REPORTERS.

Il Is related of the remarkable jour
nalist and ph:lanthropist. Robert Bon
ner, who lately died in New York, that
he sympathized with young reporters
who were facing the trials and buffet
ings inevitably to be encountered in
news seeking. During the delibera-
tons OF the session of the Fifth Az
enue Presbyterian church Of New
York a, the time that body was trou-
bled with discussions over the seIec-
ton Of a pastor to succeed DR.. John
Hall. and every effort was made to
maintain secrecy, Mr.. Bonner would
never refuse to inform reporters of the
progress that was being made, so far
as compatible with his position in the
church Frequently, too. he would
impart to them some Idea as to how
matters in the church were shaping
themselves, intimating. however, that
he wished nothing 10 be published Of
those affairs for the time being. And
in no single instance was a reporter
who had the privilege of Mr.. Boomers
acquaintance known 20 break conf
dence with him. We believe similar
testimony to the honor of newspaper
men has been given by DR.. Chauncey
NJ Depew, than whom no man in
America has been oftener interviewed,
and by Judge Noah Davis. whose long
career on the bench gave him wide op-
portunity to test the stuff that is in
reporters Each of these men, like
Mr.. Bonner, had every confidence and
every personal request respected. The
must and will have the
news; they prefer TO have it right. but
they are often compelled to get it by
dark lantern methods, the blame for
which rests not on them but on those
who attempt a. foolish secrecy. Those
who sometimes complain that much OF
the news of the day as printed is IN
trustworthy would have less ground |
for the charge if the policy of Bonner.
Depew and Davis were more general. |

CONCERNING PRINTERS INK.

One of the least of the so-called
trusts to get into working order is the
com bination of the printers ink MAX
ers, a concern that comes pretty close
home to The newspapers of the coun-
try, which must have ink or smut up
shop. The fact that the ink combine
has discharged it's drummers and
raised the prices has given a new i'm
petus to the octopus chasers of the
press. and this particular trust is now
being pointed out as a horrible exam
pie of the effects Of consolidated cap
tai But there is no need yet to feel
very great concern over the combine
that seeks to exercise despotism over
the printers. For a while it may ap-
ply the screws to some who do not
know that good ink is made and sold
at rock-bottom prices by others out
side the trust. but in the end it VIII
suffer the inevitable fate of all those
who seek 70 ove-rule the law of supply
and demand. That trust will be long
est lived which serves its patrons best.
There is none that dare 80 beyond
certain lin,5t without inviting and
meeting competition Not even the
powerful Standard Oil could raise
prices without provoking instant riv-
airy IN the market. and the secret of
its wonderful growth and strength IS
that it has 50 employed its opportu-
mites that no rival can hope to enter
the field and serve the public so well
and so cheaply. The only road to sue
cess for this ink trust or any o,hsr
trust is along the same lines. Compe-
tition may come more slowly to big
corporations but when it does come
it viii be more powerful

MORE OF THAT HISTORY.

Elsewhere will be found an article
coTfed from the Arizona Republican
of July 19, which contains many per-
rinent facts well worth consideration
by the people of Yavapai county We
know of our own knowledge that GER
tain people of Prescott used their in
f1Uence with Thomas Bullock to pre-
vent him Bullock from selling his
road to the present S. F. P. & P, rail-
way syndicate. And their principal
argument was 10 this effect: IF you
sell them the road it will be continued
on to the Congress mine, and eventu-
ally on to our rival. Phoenix, which
is a thing we don't want done" Fur
thermore, these same parties said to
Bullock: Don't you worry over the
matter: they Will never construct a
competing line; il would never pay
them to do so, and there is absolutely
no danger in that direction" Their
idea was, that should the road pass
beyond the town it would xiii the
place, and they wanted Prescott to
forever remain the terminus of the
Bullock road. John H Marion was
the principal agitatOr in favor of the
Bullock road; he and others lobbied
for legislation in its favor. 1t was a
measure pushed through by democrats
in TACT, if job, it was democratic
one from first to last, and the demo-
cratic party of Arizona alone is re-
sponsible for tax exemption - and !
sequentially for "taxless toots." For
heavens sake be consistent, and If
you have put your foot into it, then, !

and not play the '+baby act. Prescott |

Regarding the adverse decision OF

PHOENIX. JULY q. 1899.
OUR OFFER.

The movement to advertise
this town and this valley in the
east has been advocated by The
Republican for the last three
years. The Republican knows
the value of advertising; i,
knows also that thousands c.
people in the east who might be
induced to make their homes
here or at least to spend the
winters here have no knowledge
of Arizona or its resources. The
board of trade has taken hold
of the matter in a bu-iness-I:ke
way. Unfortunately the move
ment has been opposed by an
element that does not stand for
progress, and the board Of su-
pervisors IS not likely to coop
crate in the way contemplated
by the law relating to the ap-
pointment of an immigration
commissioner. There has been
more or less talk of a Job" il
connection with the board Of
trades plan, but the Knockers
have failed to say where the
Job was to come in. The Re
publican is convinced that the
movement has been business
like in every particular. In or
der to show its faith in it The
Republican makes this offer to
the board of trade, to hold good
for year:
II will print either books OF
pamphlets descriptive of the
valley, or devote a portion of ito |
space each day to advertising
matter prepared by the board,
at cost, the board to be permit
ted to inspect bills for paper and
labor and satisfy itself that no
profit is made by this newspaper
on such printed matter. A few
hundred dollars spent in this
way would be of great benefit to
Phoenix and the Salt River val
ley.
What says the board of trade?

It Is lats in the campaign for Gen
era1 Otis to conclude that he can use
cavalry to advantage. But as it is not
too late, and as the real fighting for
the possession of the interior of the
islands is to take place after next Oc-
tober. the generals request for author
ity to form brigade of cavalry and
for enough horses for twenty-five hun
bred men ought to be promptly grant
cd. There will be great expense in
getting tbs horses to Manila and it s
doubtful If General Otis himself has
any certain idea Of the ability OF
American quadrupeds to endure the
climate of the islands. But the civil
war SO well illustrated the superior
qualities of American officers and men
on horseback that even an expensive
