BRYAN WILL COME.
Threats Against Him Made By
HaIIam and Kingsolomon.
Will Not Deter The Great Leader
From Speaking For The
Democratic Ticket.

Frankfort, KY, August 5.-The
Democratic Campaign Committee
has received complete and detailed
reports of the situation throughout
the state, and it appears that no
Democratic disaffection worthy of
the name exists outside of the Coun-
ties of Campbell, Kenton, Bath and
Montgomery. In each of these cour-
ties the cause of the disaffection is
easily traced. In Kenton the per-
sonal enemies of Senator Goebel,
who have been fighting him for
years, are keeping up their pace.
Their opposition has always been
presented whenever Goebel has been
a candidate. In Campbell, Bath
and Montgomery counties the es-
.pousal of the Goebel cause by one
faction of the party gave him the
opposition of other factions before
the convention. Some of the men,
bers of the opposing factions have
now espoused the boilers movement.
What Is Its Strength.
1t is difficult to say what number
of votes these men will control,
though a number of the leaders
have on some occasions had diff
Guilty in controlling their own.
There is sprinkling, however, of
men who have had influence and
followlngs. They have never before
>sttempted to lead their followers
out of the party. How we'll they
will succeed remains to be seen.
Reports from various parts of the
state show that the Brown bolt con-
tinues to stir Democrats up to more
active efforts. Dozens OF letters
have been received by members of
the committee from former friends of
John Young Brown expressing their
disappointment in his present atti-
tude and their disapproval of his
course of action. The impression
that his Lexington speech failed
utterly to justify his bolt grows
more general, and the opinion that
he is seeking to divide the party,
defeat Blackburn and obtain a seat
in the Senate as a reward for his
cooperation with the Republican
party, is widely held.
Mondays rIeetings.
While the Democratic campaign
does not formally begin until next
Saturday much interest has been
manifested in the speakings which
occur on Monday, and large crowds
are expected at all the various
meetings. On next Saturday, at
Mayfeld, Sena Goebel and Hon.
J. c. S. Blackburn will formally
open the campaign, and they VIII
continue their dual stumping tour
until election day. The committee,
in arranging their tour, has left a |
number of dates vacant. They will
be filled in as seems best during the
progress of the campaign.
Especial attention has been paid |
by the committee to the disposition
of the boilers to threaten Bryan for
his agreement to speak in behalf OF
the regular Democratic ticket. 1t |
is plain that the real projectors Of
the bolt-the railroad corporations
and gold bugs-are cautiously en-
couraging expressions against Bry-
an with the hope that they may be
able to extend the split in the party |
sufficiently to defeat the great Ne
braskan.

FOR COUNTRY FIRST.

The majority of Americans are so
constituted that, in the time OF war,
they are for their own country. Nc
matter about the beginning of the
trouble, or whether the war might
have been avoided or me-, after it is on
and the American soldiers are in line
and the colors are in place in the front
and center, the sympathies CT the great
body CT Americans are with the Amer
lean soldiers and the flag they uphold,
and not with the parties who are firing
at both. This is not a defense CT their
pCsition-it is merely statement OF
fact. The Americans who are just
now opposed to sheir country and are
in favor of its enemies who wish for
the MILITARY success of the FiliPinoS.
are against an overwhelming majority
CT their countrymen. The Tagals will
be whipped and their friends will BE-
whipped. 1t has been tried before,
this American opposition to America
in war times, and it has been disas
trous to the opposers. 1t means such
oblivion and disgrace as followed the
democratic party after its stand in
favor of the rebellion nearly forty
years ago.-Kansas City Star.

TEe Republicans evening contem-
porary, which no one will accuse OF
being prejudiced in favor CT this pa
per, is fair enough to tell the truth
about the board of trade pamphlet, and
says:
Seems like good deal of fuss has
been made over the little pamphlet
that is now being printed by the
beard of trade. A slight blunder was
made in compiling the subject matter.
The printer filled the stipulated con-
tract. The work was remcdaled at
$39 expense to the board of trade.
That is the thing in a nutshell.
At the board of trade meeting
Tuesday night it was publicly stated
that work on the pamphlet was pro-
gressing; that the error in compila-
ton had been corrected at the cost re-
ported above, and that The Republic
can had complied with the printing
specifications in every particular. Yet
the Morning Moribund had neither the
fairness nor decency to print this
piece of news The original edition of
$4,000 pamphlets will be issued on
schedule time and will be distributed
by the board of trade as was in
tended from the beginning. The Re-
publican invites every member of the
board of trade and the, public gen
orally to visit our job rooms at any
time and see the pamphlets being pre-
pared for delivery. The fellows who
are feeling so sore because they failed
to secure this contract should console
themselves with the fact that they
have done their best to make mon
keys of themselves and have sue
ceeded admirably.

PHOENIX. OCTOBER 6. 1899.

The suggestion made by a cor
respondent of The Republican that a
cabinet of Arizona mineral specimens
be collected to be placed on exhibition
by the board of trade, is one worth
considering by that body. Arizona is
approaching the front rank as a pro
ducer of precious metals, yet there is
not single large mineral cabinet at
the capital. The various counties
would doubtless gladly contribute
specimens, if a showing by a respon-
sible organization like the board was
guaranteed. Specimens of all the
Minerals produced by Arizona, col
lected from the larger mines would
make a valuable and instructive ad-
Junct to the board of trade

THE LESSON OF IT ALL.

When the dewey celebration is all
over, and the admiral has been re-
ceived with the royal hOnOrs reserved
for real heroes, the country will be-
gin to realize that in honoring him
it has awakened in itself emotions
which will reinforce a proper and self
respecting pride in country, and lead
to a more conservative view Of the
obligations that have come as 2 result
of his victory in the far east. Today
it is all music and marching feet To-
morrcw it will be reflection The next
day enlightenment, and sc on through
the different steps until the only pos
sible wholesome minded conclusion is
reached that our duty in the Philip
pines is marked out fer us and that we
must enter upon it without faltering.
And above everything else we must
cease to quarrel among ourselves CVsr
the inevitable, and postpone the cen
sideration of methods of government
until peace has been restored and our
authority respected.-New Haven r.

IRRIGATION IN ARIZONA.

There is no section of the Union
which owes more to. irrigation. or
which has proven it's great value more
than Arizona. 1t is not SO very long
since this territory was regarded as the
most worthless and f1rbidding porti-n
of the Great American desert, yet
within the past few years, under the
magic influence of water, it has deve1-
cped wonderfully, and it is doubtful
if more prolific and fertile stretch
of country can be found than is pre-
seated by the Salt River and Gila val
leys, both CT which have been reclaim
ed from the desert by an extensive and
effective system of irrigating canals
The necessity Of more water than is
afforded by the natural flow of the
Arizona republican., 1899-10-06

streams, however, is becoming appar-
ent, and the building of great storage
reservoirs, for which the territory Of
fers many excellent sites, is attracting
public attention, One OF these is To-
Gated On Tonic creek, on the Vlrde
river. Work was started On this in
1898, but the panic of that year put a
temporary stop to the work, which Is
now to be resumed. The completion
of this reservoir will add many thou
sands CT acres of land to the fertile
area Of Salt River valley. A scc-nd
great irrigation enterprise is also I'M
der way which when completed will
redeem another 900 acres of land
from the desert and make the Salt
River and ella valleys one OF the NEST
extensive horticultural sections in the
west. Goverro or n. o. Murphy and his
brother, F. M Murphy, president of the
Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix rail
road, are heavily interested in both
these enterprises, which gives assur-
ance Of their merit and early consum-
mation.-American Agriculturist.

THE BANE OF UNIFORMITY.

More and more the fact is becoming
evident that teacher may be well
qualified to do his work and yet be
utterly unable to do the work accomp-
lished successfully by another teach
er. The time has gene by, at least in
soma educational circles, when every
teacher is expected to be able to give
satisfactory instruction in every sub
ject A man who holds a position as
demonstrator of anatomy is not neces-
sarily familiar with the latest discov-
cries in philol-gy, and the expert bot
anist is ofsen far from being an accom-
plished mathematician. A man may
be the best linguist in his state and be
the most successful teacher in his de-
paTtment, and know little about chem
istry or electricity. This idea of lay
ing cut an iron-bound course and com
pelling every teacher TO walk in it IS
being relegated to innacu0us desue-
tude.
All our colleges and universities are
recognizing The fact that a student
should be able to do one thing well
rather than many things tolerably-
and elective courses are coming into
favor everywhere. An all-around man
is not necessarily a complete man, as
building or a ship may be admirably
calculated to accomplish certain pur-
pose and afford facilities for certain
kinds of traffic and yet lack many
things which are needed by another
Ecuse or another ship which is equal
ly well fitted for its work Wise edu-
caters no lCnger require all teachers
to fellow the same course of prepare
tion fer their work, Such a require
ment smacks of antiquated methods
and obsolete ideas. Some OF the best
instructors in mathematics are poor
grammarians, and if Horace Greeley
had been Obliged to pass an examina-
tbcn in penmanship he never could
have taught school in Arizona.

APPoINTIVE JUDGES.

To citizens OF Massachusetts Il
seems like a traVesty of justice for
! judges to defend bargain and sale as
necessary conditions of their elevation
TO office. In this state, which fCrtu-
nately knows no politics in its judicial
| appointments. where republican gov
errors select democrats and demo-
cratic governors select republicans up
on the one test of fitness, tie New
York method and the degradation in
! high places to which it leads are posi-
lively horrifying. The evil inheres in
the system, and the political OrganiZa-
tionS of New York are well calculated
to develop and make active all the evil
there is in it. Even the citizens OF
that great Babel which is usually 50
patient and. submissive have b9en
stirred by the revelations before tn :
committee, and voice has been given
to demand fer law thai shall make
illegal the levying. of assessments up
on judicial officers or the payment of
assessments by them. But that would
not eliminate the evil 1t would sim
ply drive it to cover. As long as the
elective system obtains thesa scandals
will continue to exist in one form or
another whenever interruptions men
are in power, and wherever the au-
thority OF a political boss is acknowl-
edged, there they are sure to be found.
Yet with these object lessons to warn
us there are those who desire Massa-
chusetts to change her method and
throw the best judiciary in the coun-
try into the miro and dirt of politics.
Fortunately, there is not much present
danger that they will be listened to-

sion at 2 a. M, and is said to have
made considerable progress in the d.
rection OF q new combination. These
two candidates together received a ma-
jority of the votes of the convention
on the last ballot, and may be able to
bring about q nomination II they can
get together.
Up to a late hour tonight there Is
two of the Democratic candidates for
Governor. and it seems likely that the
first ballot taken when the conven-
ton meets. to-Inorrow morning will re-
suit just as about as the eleventh did
on Saturday might. Candidates and
their managers have been on the go
all day out of one conference into an
other, but so far to no purpose. The
1892 delegates in the convention are
divided SO evenly that there is not a
difference of thirty votes in the
strength of the three candidates,
Stone, Goebel and Hardin. But Of these
Goebel is the strongest because of the
solidity Of his support. He controls his
following absolutely, and can vote them
for himself or throw them to either of
his opponents at will. Neither Stone or
Hardin can do this, and for that rea-
son neither is in position to make
advantageous terms.
Meanwhile, the three-cornered fight
grows warmer, and the delegates who
have spent nearly a week trying to
nominate State ticket may yet nave
to look outside the trio now occupying
the ring to find leader upon whom
they can unite.

THE OLD CHINESE WALL.

About to Tear it Down.
CHICAGO, June Ca special to the
Times Herald" from Denver says: Ac-
cording to Frank Lewis, a Chicago
civil engineer, who was to-day a guest
at the Oxford Hotel, the Chinese Gov
eminent contemplates the destruction
of the ancient Chinese wall that sep
arates China proper from Chinese Tar
tary. He is en- route to China to as
sist in tearing down the famous struct-
ure.
Mr.. Lewis is a civil engineer, and
goes to China on behalf of syndicate
of Chicago capitalists He said:
Il understand that the enterprise Is
one of the Chinese Governments own
conception, and is independent of the
Russian, German or French influence.
The cost will be great, involving mill
ions of dollars. The concessions that
will be granted will be worth the candle,
and I anticipate there will be sharp
competition"
Mr. Lewis said he has information
that a New York syndicate Is the only
other American concern after the pro-
ject, and that there are two British
syndicates out, French syndicate and
three German companies. The Chicago

NAVAL CHANGES.
Will Affect Commanders Of the
New York. Texas and Indiana.


NEW YORK, June s26.AA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Captain S. c. Taylor, who, commands
the Indiana and whose tour Of sea duty
has expired, has applied to the depart
| ment for permission to- remain on his
present duty until November, when the
department expects Rear Admiral
Sampson to relinquish command of the
North Atlantic station. About the
same time the tour of sea duty of Cap
tain Sigsbee, commanding the Texas,
will expire and he will be placed on
shore duty. When Rear Admiral Samp-
son hauls down his flag, Captain F. E.
Chadwick of the New York will prob
ably request shore duty. slr
As the New York, Indiana and Texas
are crack ships of the home squadron,
no trouble will be experienced in get
ting officers willing to command them.
There are already several applications
on file.
One hundred and twenty-five men
who will comprise the regular crew of
the Hartford, which will be placed in
commission under the command of

Brooklyn for Mare Island. Commander
Hawley has received reports from re-

Talks Of His Announced Candidacy for

Thinks It No Reason Why He,
Should Resign From the Cabi-

Three American Officers Create
q Riot in Cienfuegos.

WASHINGTON, June 2o.-Secretary
Alger returned TO the city tonight at
ter an absence Of three weeks. He
says he has enjoyed his outing very
much and he appears benefited by the
change
To all callers at his house during the
evening the Secretary talked freely re-
garding his announced candidacy for
Senatorial honors and of the printed
statement of the probability of his
leaving the Cabinet because of his al
,Mance with Governor Pingree, who it
has been stated, is opposed to the Ad-
ministration of President Mckinley. He
made it plain to his questioners that
he did not propose to resign on this ac-
count. as he does not consider his can
didacy for the Senate any reason why
he should not continue his position as
q member of the Cabinet. Governor
Pingree, he said, is for President Nc
Kinley first, last and all the time.
He was not prepared to say any
thing tonight for publication respecting
what, if any. increase is to be made
to the troops under General Otis COM
mand; that matter will be talked with
the President as soon as he returns to
Washington from his New England
visit
The Secretary, in conclusion, said he
had no knwledge of dispatch alleged
to have been received from General
Otis in which that officer intimated his
inability to conquer the Filipinos with
the force under his command and that
he would be obliged to abandon the
ground already taken unless reinforce
ments were quickly sent. All dispatches
from General Otis were forwarded to
him, he said. and he had seen nothing

THE TAGE PUTS TO SEA.
Opinion Gains Ground That She
Went to Meet the Sfax.

BREST, June 25.,The French first
class cruiser Tage put to sea this even.
ing, the official explanation being that
she has gone to experiment with carrier
pigeons. She is, however, much
larger cruiser than the Sfax,, which is
bringing Captain Dreyfus, and the dis
patch of big vessel with carrier
pigeons is quite unprecedented. Usu
ally a torpedo boat is sent, and the
opinion therefore gains ground that the
Tage has gone to meet the Sfax and
to take Captain Dreyfus on board. The
pigeons can be used to announce the
transfer, and the Tage might proceed
to another port to land the prisoner.
AS against this theory, and as an
indication that the landing of Dreyfus
will be effected here, there is the fact
that a large number of gendarmes
from the country around Brest are ar
irving or expected to arrive to-night.
The Treasurer of the famous League
of the French Fatherland reached
Brest this evening from Paris, and as
this organization has been at the bot
tom Of the anti-Dreyfus movement it
is thought he has probably come to
organize a demonstration.

NEW KLoNDIKE EXPEDITION.
The Company Composed Of Promd-
nent Eastern Politicians.

NEW YORK, June Pa new Klon-
dixie expedition will start from this city
in a special car over the Vanderbilt
road next Thursday. A steamship will
be at Seattle ready to start for the
American gold fields, which are a thou
sand miles nearer the United States
than Dawson City.
The expedition differs from most
mining ventures in that its capital
stock is all subscribed. The principal
officers are Senator John P. Jones of
Nevada, President; James s. Oliver,
Vice President; Oliver H. P. Belmont,
Secretary and Treasurer There are
many stockholders whose names are
well known in local politics.
The party expects to stay sixty days
at the mines controlled by the COM
pany. A mining expert of interna-
tional reputation will be taken along, as
well as a cargo of machinery with
which to develop the property, which
includes both quartz and placer mines.
The mines were secured a year ago
and have been extensively worked. A
camp of considerable proportions, called
Belmont, after the Secretary Treasurer
has been established. All the insiders
are politicians and they expect to get
rich out of their holdings.
