MLEAN ON THE PHILIPPINES.

Mr.. John r. Mclean. the democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, ought
to enlighten himself on the events of
the last eighteen months before under
taking to speak on them. In an adj
dress on Saturday night he denounced
the president for pursuing a course in
the Philippine islands without au-
thority of congress" The trouble be
gan, according to Mclean, when Gen
eral Merritt was sent to the islands,
and refused to cooperate with Aguin-
aldo, ordering that bribe-taker and his
men to withdraw from Manila. Appar-
emily Mr.. Mclean, although a resident
of Washington city, has overlooked
the fact that a session of congress has
been held since General Merritt re
turned from the Philippines, and that
congress not only sustained the admin
istration in all that had been done but
it voted in favor of a large increase in
the army to put down the Aguinaldo
rebellion, and appropriated all the
money necessary for that purpose. I'm

no power to turn the islands over to

TELEPHoNING THROUGH EARTH

DR. Peter Stems has apparently come
from St. Petersburg to London to clear
up a few remaining points on which
medical men and electricians are in
doubt. Having already assured US
that he will make the deaf hear and
the blind see, he now offers a few ideas
about wireless biography and tele-
phony. He gave an interview in ref
erence to Sir William Freezes new
method of using the Morse code in con-
nection with the wireless system This
is what he said:
Il have read some account of
Freezes wireless biography expert
ments. but am not working on any
thing like the same principle. I am
not working on the Herzian waves at
all. My principle is that of using only
one means of conduction, namely, the
earth. I simply send electricity through
the earth from one apparatus to an
other in sympathy with it. No high
poles, nor balloons, nor anything of the
kind are required for my system
MY apparatus is small and portable

structicn or method of use. [ contend

TRADE AND WAR.

The United States was on the eve of
a [business1 boom when the Spanish
war was declared. The struggle in the
Philippines has not retarded it any
more than the previous conflict did.
England's threatened trouble with the
Boer republic does not retard the rush
of trade in the British isles. The en-
pire in all its parts was never so
crowded with evidences of prosperity.
From the Cape of Good Hope to Alex
andria bay, in Africa, the rush of COM
merce is evidenced. India's progress is
marvellous. China and Japan and the
whole orient are bending their energies
to keep step with the procession. Rus
STA can be credited with causing much
of the hustle and hurry. The develop
ment of Siberia is a remarkable work.
The example set by the United States
to the effect that TO excel in war a ma
ton must also excel in industry and
commerce, has apparently changed not
only the political situation, but also
the industrial and commercial situa-
ton of the world, It certainly begins
to look that way.-Galveston News.

THE EXPANSION OF AMERICA.

There is no doubt that expansion IS
the tendency of this age Of concen-
trated manufacture. Having developed
our domestic consumption through
protection, we are now reaching fer
ward fer new markets. We have a
hundred thousand millions CT prop
erty in the United States, 50 that we
are rapidly taking a mere important
position than ever before IN the
worlds commerce What relation to
this business expansion our victories
in the Antilles and Philippines will
have remains to be seen, but there is
lietla doubt that the general public IS
hopeful that Dewey's and SIMPSONS
work will not prove a curse either to
American commerce or civilization.
The fact that six millions OF Ameri-
can money are g'1.ng into the new eiec-

The reorganization of the Buckeye
Canal company, which was effected
here yesterday, will doubtless re-
suit in the improvement of the
canal and the further develop
ment of that fertile region. A
great deal of California capital has
been invested in the Buckeye country
during the last year and the deal
lately contaminated was backed by a
we'll known Los Angeles capitalist, of
whom Attorney-General Ainsworth of
this city is the representative. The re-

Ainsworth and his son are now direct

ONLY TO BE EXPECTED.

As might be expected, the Springfield
Republican attempts to twist Admiral
Dewey's utterances into an argument
for anti-imperialism. His statement
that the Filipinos are a remarkably in
telligent race and may at some indefi-
mite date be capable of self govern
ment, is construed to mean that he
stands shoulder to shoulder with the
whole unpatriotc gang of Atkinson
ians- This frantic clutching at straws
to save an unpopular and losing cause
is the best evidence of the unpopuIarfty
of that cause. On the other hand. the
admiral distinctly states that at pres
ent the Filipinos are emphaticaIly unfit
for self government. AS to the feast
bility of Withdrawing the army and
navy from the islands and exchanging
for anarchy, it is useless to
inquire Dewey's opinion.-Worces

Burma is not one which is likely to
bring about much land trade between
China and the provinces of Burma, on
account of the difficulty of the inter-
vening country, and the advantage of
sea carriage over that by land. The
interest of Russia in northern China is
to India somewhat of a safety valve,
giving Russia an ample feeding ground
for her ambitions, and tending to pre-
vent her from undertaking the adVen-
ture which would be involved in the
gradual absorption of portions of Al
ghanistan, with a view to the attempt
to destroy in India a British govern
ment, which, in the course of time. the
British colonies will be interested in
helping to defend.-Sir Charles Dixie

A CARNIVAL SUGGESTION.

The territorial press has taken
to be held in Phoenix November POPS.
The event is greeted with enthusiasm
all over the territory. This is all the
more reason that it should bear the
stamp of being 4 territorial affair. The
time is so short in which to make
preparations or to prepare exhibits
that the counties other than Maricopa
will be handicapped. To offset this it
has been suggested that the carnival
committee adopt a custom which pre-
portant feature of the Mountain and
Plain festivals held annually in Den
yer. 1t is simply the sending by the
several counties of a delegation to the
tvs handsomest ladies. The delegations
should appear in each days parade as
the official representation of the
counties of Arizona. The executive
committee of the carnival could ar
range for the accommodation of these
fair delegations and should supply if
required, the necessary vehicles for
their appearance in the parade. The
costumes and decorations should, of
course, be left to the originality of
the counties. Perhaps it would be
wise in order to create additional in
terest to offer a suitable prize for the
most striking and original costumed
delegation. If each county would in
the matter of decorations contribute
allegorical figures representative of
their principal industries and produc-
tions general interest would be added;
the artistic and spectacular effect
would be enhanced and the material
benefit to the counties increased ten
fold
The Republican is of opinion that
every effort should be used to make it
a territorial carnival as nearly as pos
sible. The event will bring thousands
of strangers to Arizona. Phoenix must
do the entertaining. We must not be
narrow in the distribution of our IA
vors. This is the capital and as such
must look to the welfare of every
county. The method suggested would
be a novel and attractive one, by which
the whole territory could take a rep
resentative part in the carnival with
out extensive preparation and at
small outlay of time and money.
If any one can offer more suitable
way by which the desired object may
be attained we shall be glad to hear
it. The Republican wants a big
broad-gauged carnival that will
nothing small about Arizona in general
and it's capital in particular

A territorial mineral exhibit at the
capital under the care and direction of
the board of trade would prove the
greatest drawer of capital that has
yet been suggested. Some of the finest
cabinets in Arizona are to be found
in Prescott and Kingman and have
no doubt added materially to the
wealth of those towns in past years.
Phoenix should be known as a place
minerals can find the most comprehen-
sive mineral collection in the whole

which to supply the specimens.

The board of trade is enjoying a
brief respite from the vil1ainous at

characterless publications here which
sought TO be1ittle that body by making
a cloak of the pamphlet being printed

BLUR the board or intimidate The
Republican these fellows have paused
for wind. So far they have only made
monkeys of themselves and gained
the contempt of their readers. AS soon
as their numerous lies were nailed
their power for evil ceased. 1t is re-
ported that one of the trio is prepar-
ing to open up again in the near fu
ture with the intention of trying to
embarrass the board of trade by abuse
of The Republican. Will not some
kind friend give this fellow a "hunch"
that his methods are not the kind that

FOREIGN INTERESTS IN CHINA

The particular point to which Brit
ish policy at Pekin is being specially
directed is that which the government
have called the discourag cement of all
preferences and exclusive privileges TO
foreign powers in China generally; and
this is a policy in which the United
States as a future exporter of railway
iron and locomotives has an enormous
interest. Russia must advance in
China by mere weight; but the rate of
that advance is a very different matter
and depends largely upon the prudence
of her rulers. In the meantime great
Anglo-American interests may have
grown up, entwined together in the
heart of China, and may lead ultimate
ly to a partition between Russia in the
north, and an English speaking COM
munity in the center. in which Aus
tralia, as well as the United States and
the United Kingdom, will be heard, for
Australian capital will play a part in
the Pacific. When I am asked, as I
have been, whether China is not more
possession of the Indian empire, than
it ever can be to the United States, I
must answer that the connection be-
tween China and the Indian empire IS
somewhat shadowy and vague India
has her natural frontiers. She is cut
off from China by great mountain
ranges, and even her extension into
