'>Wm. Trainor Killed.

From August Joerss who returned Saturday from Wilcox, an ORB reporter learns that Wm. Trainor was shot and killed by a cowboy named Goodwin at that place on Friday.
 Trainer was deputy cattle inspector and while inspecting some hides for Fulghum x Goodwin had some words with the latter, but went on with his duty and then went to town. While he waswaiking along the street, Good win came up behind him and fired four shots into his body, killing him in- stantlY. Goodwin then mounted his horse and rode off. The officers at once started in pursuit and up to the time MT. Joerss left nothing had been heard from them.
 Trainor is well known in Cochise county and has been here for nun Der of years. He was an employe of J. H. Slaughter for some time and afterward worked for E. J. Jackin when the war broke out last spring he enlisted ins a "A" troop of the Rough Riders and when dicharged he returned to Will cox. He was noted as being one of the best pistol shot in the country and could handle gun to perfection. Eg

"A Fatal Cave.

This afternoon about 2:3O, while Joe Doust was working in the Holbrook mine, the ground suddenly gave away and he was imprisoned beneath several tons of earth. He was extricated as quickly as possible by hisfellow miners and taken to the company hospital, where he lived but few moments. He body was badly bruised and mangled as also was his face.
 The deceased was an ohl timer in the camp and has worked for the Copper Queen company for a number of years. He was about fifty years of age and has q brother in thls county who at present is prospecting in the vicinity of San Bernardino.

Already the United States govern ment haa been requested to pay several mll- lion dollars of claims made by American cit- ixens, and assumed under the treaty with SpaSa. but the claims ot these foreigners are entirely separate. and there Is no obligation. either moral or implied, requiring their payment by this government.

The people of the United States con have no possible use for the Philippine islands be- yond an opportunity to extend their trade. and that can be done without taking posses sion ofthe country and assuming the ex- pense and responsibility of colonial form of government, something we are not pre- pared for and can reap no benefit from. It Is true that we paid our millions for the title of Spain to the land and its inhabitants, but, according to the long established American ideas of liberty, 1t is doubtful if we have any 'rfghr there a moinent lot ger than the peo- pie of those islands can form government and take up the reins of administration. Our present position h the Philippines is certainly the result of mad jingoism and as soon as the Filipino government can be made to acknowledge defeat, and not before, the American troops should be withdrawn to Manila, where we should establish such a depot of war material us will give us 6ase for the striking of a deathdeath blow to any foreign foe.
 It Is true the administration has made mistakes, and many of them. and will con tinue to make them as long as cheap and corrupt politicians of the Alger stripe are allowed to handle the affairs of government, but that isno reason for declaring war off in the most critical moment of struggle. The nature of the people we arc dealing with will not permit of that, and. althong it is tolerabiy certain that the Americans brought on the bloodshed, the war must be carried to successful conclusion if any American is, ever to set foot on those islands again.
 Too much cannot be said against the men for the present condition of affairs, and 1t is perfectly right and proper that those opp posed to the idea of expansion should ex- press themselves in becofhinsoo and strong language, but ask no sacrifice of national percentage. especially whom the eyes of the world are upon us, and so many are waiting to take advantage of our apparent weak ness.
 The poor Filipino is shedding his blood for what he considers his liberty, and every humane and Christian man gives him sym pathy, but he is half child and half devil, and has no, understanding of kindness Since animal life first came to his native land in the form of man forcc has been the only ole- ment of government, and cruelty is its chief characteristic. The Filipeno would not appreciate the withdrawal of the Amer ican troops at this stage, end his only under- standing would be that it was caused by weakness, an inability to core with him on the field of ba t'e, and woo to the unlucky American who lapI enel to wauder across his path.
 Now that we are into a war, with neither principle or shadow of + gatto sustain our cause in the eyes of man or Gcd, we must make the best of a bad bars ain. ard fight 1t out to n finish, Thtn we con settle wigh those responsible for our trouble aGd dis grace by retiring tLe;n to pr,vate !iso. .-El Paso Graphic.

THE cessation of hostilities in the Philip pines seems near at hand. were it not so Ad- miral Dewey, would have never consented
 leave those waters. In fact his homo com ing meas to n majority of the people that the fight in tho Orient has been won, and that his presence is no longer needed there. Ad- miral Dewey's return to kis home will be Q triumph accorded to few men in American history. He Is the favorite of all parties and factions. Not m American has ought to say in dispar agement of Admiral Dewey. There is nothing in the gift of the people of Amer. lea, that they would not give him without the asking. Thero Is ono ambition smoul- dsring In the heart of every native-born American. There is no man who first saw the light under the Stars and Stripes who would not, if he could, be president of this great republic. It is a laudable ambition, one which consumed such mon us Clay and ey so truly American in everything else would be diHorent from his countrymen in this.

Then let presidential candiJ of all factions, sections and parties look to their laureis.

Tnr situation in Cuba is delicate, br

THE situation in Cuba is delicate, but, 'sfrom present appearances, the native Tafmy will be induced to disarm without serious trouble. It is not difficult to understand the hesitation of the patri- '- oss 0fthe war fof Independence against Spain to give up their arms. since, in doing that, they place their aspirations z for independence at the mercy of the United States. The annexat'onist cry in this country is strong enough to reach 'Stheir ears. and when they hear it they naturally grow suspicious of American purpoees. Bat the Cubans will make no mistake in trusting the American people, for.the pledge to give Cuba in. dependepce is indelible, and cannot be violated without national ,iishonor. General Brooke will have earned high 's'praire for tact and discretion if he gets the Cubans paid of and disarmed with out disturbances. It has been difficult situation for him, and thus far he has acted, it seems, in careful, diplomatic, consiliatory manner.

THE growth in copper production of Arizona during recent years is very grat- flying as shown by the following figures: 1887, I,OS5 tons; 1898, lS,60O tons; 1897, 6,O9C0; 4S,S59. The ore is of much higher grade than the average in other copper producing sections. This pro- :. duct has been obtained largely from the Clifton,a Globe and BSbee districts. Arizona will make very large increase in her copper production for 1899.

THE attorney general of the state of Ohio has studied trusts, especially the Standard Ol concern, and he makes some very valu- able suggestions to the committee now in vestigating the great combinations for the control of trade. He says they can best be handled by controlling the railroads and shutting off discrimination In their favor in freight rates and telegraph toll. He believes the failure to properly central the railroads should be followed by the loss of their char tors. There is undoubtedly great deal of good in the proposition advanced by him, especially as to the Standard Oil people, for with them freight rates enable them to oom- pete in any muket in the land, even against the home producer.

Free silver at l6 to l-und no other ratio can he considered for moment-wouid give us much higher range Of prices of Silver nations, which alone would bring the com mcrcial nations to bime tallisi,l, so as to more surely maintain the metais.at fixed relative values. Again, free silver would destroy the destructive competition with us in the worlds markets of grSat nations doing, and that will continue to do. business with q cheaper money than gold. It would be no lonser possible for their wheat froWers to sell bushel of wheat in Europe for 30 cents in gold and then take this a6ld asid buy a dollars worth of silver and coin ft into that much of their money and pay with it double the debts. taxes and fixed charges our farm CTS can pay with their bushel sold in foreign markets. And the price of the wheat sold abroad iudeadly competition with the wheat of silver countries regulates the price of every bnshel sold at home. This enor- nous difference in the debt paying power of a bushel of wheat to the wheat farmers of silver lands and our own has become possi- ble only since we, by shutting the hints to silver aud leaving them open to gold, have driven the two dollars apart, till gold would buy twice the silver that 1t would once and that 1t ought to buy now, When an ounce of gold would buy only sixteen ounces of silver, then fifty cents in gold would only buy fifty cents in silver and the power of
 bushel of wheat in all lands would be the same to pay debts taxes and the charges that do not fall with the price of products such as charges fixed by monopolies, trusts, custom and law.
 The wheat growers of silver soahtries, who are our principal competitors abroad, can sell bushel of wheat for the same amount of silver they always could, for they can get 1t coined into about as much money as .or- merly. But we can't get it coined into mon- ey at all any more, and can convert 1t only into one half of the gold money we could ohce> f-This gives them their old profitable price and gives us the ruinous half prices of recent years, and has made this mightiest of our farm industries very unproftable, un- less we happen to have the unprecedented crops of the last two years and they have a wheat famine at the same time.
 We can destroy this ruinous competition only by open hints and the restoration of the old ratio, But even if we could not re- store the ration quite, we could greatly re- duce this deadly competition in any event. By the way, the Times wonders if the farm CTS who voted for Mckinley and dear wool, instead of for Bryan and dear wheat, are satisfied with themselves f- Fl Paso Times.

., IT IS often the case that public off, cials as soon as lnducted into office lose the respect for ordinary mortals they wore want to have. They seem to live in an upper strata and soar aloft until some "plebian" takes the "iall" out of them, when they usually come back to earth and become, sometimes, quite do- cile, and in some cases appear to think that even the "common herd" are en- titled to some consideration. Apropo to this the Denver Mining Reporter r'tonches up'' the customs officials in that district in the following style: ''Mining Reporter made an inquiry at the custom house in Denver, recently, desiring to obtain the quantities of lead ore imported into the Denver district in 1898, whether from British Columbia, or from Mexico. Also the same data for the four months ending April 30, 1899. This information was refused, ' the reason given being that the office could not spare the time to prepare such
 . statement, as it would take three hours to transfer the totals from the "sheets" and foot the results. This in- quiry was made in deferential quiet manner, which" may have been the %reaaon for the excuse of lack of time; be that as it may, Mining Reporter very respectfully suggests to the officer in charge of the system of book keeping, at the custom house, that it would be we'll Co 60 arrange his accounts that matter Of as grave importance to the mining interests of this customs district, as is the importation of lead ores, can be given to such journals as desire to pub fish the' facts, in less time than three hours. Mining Reporter has not yet obtained such data," and very appro. priately asks Eff the Denver cusl on house officials are in cahoots with the lead trust"?

Unsorupulous capitalists may form great combinations for the purpose of charging us exhorbitant prices for our loco- and sewer pipes and bar iron and steel bill lets, but it is not likely that they would dare to make any move looking toward the con- trol of or even @ moderate restriction of the output of sauerkraut, knowing, as they must, that such a move would at once pre- oipitate the long-predioted revolt of the people,
