The Republican Governor Of Arizona, the
4 Hon. N. o. MURPHY, has incurred criticism
\ lately on account Of proclamation Of his
4 In regard to the mining enterprises OF that
4 Territory. The Governor, who seems to be
frank and fearless sort OF person, hon
i estly concerned for the present and future
) welfare Of Arizona, with which his lot in
a life Is cast and where he personally has
\ large business interests, undertook as
Y Chief Executive to distinguish between
legitimate concerns actually developing
the rich mineral resources Of the Territory,
= and the other sort Of company. namely,
a that which mines chiefly in tho pockets of
0 distant and unwary investors.
/ The Governors proclamation has nat
urally subjected him to attack by the repro
\ sentatives Of some OF the mining companies
[ unfavorably mentioned. They accuse him
Of unfair discrimination, and injustice to en-
4 terprisss which are really sound and legiti-
4 mate. That may be; human judgment in
such matters Is fallible. The main attack,
however, proceeds from those newspapers
In Arizona which are the bitter adversaries
Of the Republican administrations, State
and National; and manifestly political is
4 and Populist journals to represent the
Governor as Arizonas worst enemy because
he has tried to tell the truth about the
/, methods Of fake mining.
Tho Republican press Of Arizona, without
4 o single exception so far as we are aware,
upholds the Governor in the position he
has taken. Before and since his appoint
ment by President MCKINLEY for the term
OF four years ending in 1901, Gov.
MURPHY has been one OF the leading
factors for honest money and sound Re-
publican principles in the Southwest.
i Arizona used to be considered surely
Democratic. Whenever the question OF
the Territory's admission to Statehood was
4 considered 1t was taken for granted that it
II would come In, II at all, as Democratic
I State. Yet five years ago when Mr.. MURPHY
!, ran for Congress- he actually succeeded in
Sosrrying the Territory by Republican
I plurality Of 97s. reversing Democratic
Z plurality Of nearly 1000 in the election for
delegate two years earlier.
While that remarkable achievement in
1894 resulted in measure from the per-
Bonal popularity Of the candidate with his
A fellow citizens. the process OF Republicaniza-
ton has proceeded steadily under his adj
ministration OF Territorial affairs. The
Democratic plurality has been reduced
from 1875 In the Bryan year to s2s last
year. and the Democratic majority in the
Legislature has been cut down from II on
Joint ballot In 1893 to in 1899.
Tho credit OF Arizona never stood 40
high as 1t stands under the Administration
Of the Governor appointed by President
MCKINLEY. The business prospects Of the
Territory, In respect to legitimate mining
and every other industry, are exceedingly
bright The material development is
rapid. The spread Of sound political and
financial doctrine is steady; and it looks

leading advocate Of Statehood for Arizona.
would succeed in bringing in the Territory
By and by a. safely Republican State.

begun, and a prospectus OF the East
African Railway Company with capital
OF $2.5oo,ooo was issued on March z,
1887. As the work was not completed in
the time specified in the contract, the
Portuguese Government took possession
OF the road and cancelled the concession.
This was on June rs OF tho same year
that the prospectus was issued. Litiga-
ton ensued and in 1890. Mr.. MoMURpo.
the concessionnaire, having died, the
| Portuguese Government consented to arbi-
trate the question OF liabilities, and in
| conjunction with the British and American
| Governments requested the Swiss Govern
ment to appoint three tnrists to form the
Court OF Arbitration. In the meantime the
Portuguese Government paid S140,0 900 to
the British Government Professionally for
the railroad company.
The Court Of Arbitration met at Berne on
August 9. 1890 and notice Of the facts
was sent to them on November ~.
1892. Since then the court has held
many sittings to examine reports Of
experts and hear arguments, and one
Of the members Of the court visited
buo Luo idSI year db tuo TCQuobU VI HlS
colleagues. Final Judgment was to have
been delivered last June, but ct the request
Of the British Government 1t was deferred
until next month. 1t was expected that
the decision would have awarded to the
family and assigns of Mr.. MoMUnDo
something like ten or twelve millions
Of dollars. to be paid by the Portuguese
Government; and ID was over the ques-
ton OF who was to pay the money
on behalf Of the Portuguese Government
whether the Transvaal or the British
Government, that the final crisis between
these two countries was looked for. What
effect the new condition created by the
death Of one OF the arbitrators and the
notification Of the labors Of nine years will
have on the dispute, remains to be seen.
1t may be noted in conclusion that some
such termination Of the case was expected.
as on July 20 last, in reply to a question in
the British Parliament on the subject, the
Hon. ST. JOHN BRoDRIoK. Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, said. "thsk the death

France.

A little calm reflection will show how
wrongful 1t would be for this or any co,ln.
try to adopt the plan Indignantly urged
that France should be held guilty Of DREY.
FUSS conviction and punished accordingly.
This second crime against DREYTus is not
to be credited to France but to the French
army. Whether the army can be relieved
Of the evil that disgraces it. or whether the
nation can subordinate it to its own will is
question for the future.
Five years ago DREYFUs's condemnation
as a traitor aroused no comment. The
French public suspected nothing and knew
OF no cause for suspicion. The muttering
that it was based on injustice sounded
like a baseless attack upon the highest
soldiers OF the army more than ever
looked upomthen as the bulwark of national
security.
DREYFUS's innocence meant crime
throughout the army's first rank, some
thing that was incredible, and the public
men Of France who sustained the court
martial were too many and too exalted to
admit the thought that their Judgment
was unfounded. Yet during the last
three years the forces making for justice
have grown to be 80 powerful and
have labored SO unwaveringly against
the tremendous influence OF the army and
its allied politicians. and against the
threats Of political peril to the Republic.
that finally France has President chosen
distinctly as Revisionist, Legisla-
ture that has sustained him in his efforts
to that end. a press in Paris Of which the
majority admit by silence or proclaim
openly that DREYFUs, by the evidence, is
guiltless, and a supreme court, the Court
Of Cessation, that, in effect, has declared
him to be innocent.
DREYFUs is still in the grip Of the army,
which by it's recent verdict has pract ically
notified France that 1t is the nations mas
ter. But we cannot believe, and apparently
no one believes, that the resolute move
ment to restore France to her accustomed
place Of dignity among nations Is to stop
short Of success. We cannot believe that
as the end Of it all the vice which rules the
army will triumph over France and her
people be made to wear an inefYaceable
mark Of shame.
