TO OUR PATRONS AND READERS

As senior proprietor of the ARIZONA SILvEn BELT l wish to express my thank and appreciation to the press, to the patrons of this paper and to my personal friends, for the many com plimentary notices and expressions of praise which the recent improvement of the SILVER BELT has called forth.
 At the same time I wish to correct the wrong impression which seems to largely prevail that am still engaged in editorial work. and shape the policy of the paper. More than year ago increasing physical infirmity com pelled me to relinquish active partici- patton in the editorial and business management of the SILVER BELT, since which time my nephew and partner, Jos. II. Hamill, has had en- tire control, and in enlarging and inn proving the paper he has satisfactorily carried out my wishes.
 MT. Hamill has been associated with me as partner since 1885. He is thor. oughly versed m newspaper work, and ] feel that in transferring the bussness to him 1 leave the ARIZONA SILVER BELT in competent hands.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Sept. 1.-THE
final business session of the annual con-
vention of the United Typothetae of Amer
lea was held to-day. The heated discus
sion which was expected in connection
with the ant-union resolution, tabled from
yesterday, did not materialize. This reso-
luton urged the employment of non-union
foremen and superintendents only. 1t was
very quietly dropped, C. w. Edwards, of
Philadelphia, the proposer, offering the fol-
lowing substitute:
Resolved, That the members OF the
United Typothetae of America, in conven-
ton assembled. reserve to themselves the
right to employ whomsoever they see fit in
the management of their respective off,

This was unanimously adopted.
An interesting discussion followed of the
methods employed to prevent rate cutting.
Various plans were proposed and 1t was
finally left to the executive committee TO
formulate a plan. 1t. was also tacitly ac-
cepted and hereafter the social features OF
the typothetae conventions be confined TO
evenings, in order that local typothetae Or
ganizations might not be put to the ex-
pense made necessary by the lavish enter
tafnment of delegates.
Kansas City was chosen as the place OF
the next convention, the date being left
to the executive committee and the Kan

SID CLARKE FOR FUSION.
Writes n Letter Urging the Opponents
of Republicanism to Get
TCrether.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 15.-(Special.)
Senator Sidney Clarke, of Oklahoma City,
who, it is generally believed, is making a
still hunt" for the Democratic congress
sional nomination. has written a long let
ter, showing why the opponents Of Re-
publicanism should get together next year.
In 1t he says:
Look at few pertinent facts. At the
election of 1890 the total vote for member
OF the legislature at large was 9,17S; DEM
ocratic, 3,151; Republican, 4,002; Populist,
2,025. In 1892 the total vote for delegate to
congress was 2l,3G5: Republican, 9,496; DEM
ocratic, 7,4S; Populist, 4,3iS. In 1894, total
vote 49, ,932s Republican, 2O,39o; Democratic,
12,66S; Populist, 1914. In 1896, total vote
53,7O6; fusion, 27,425; Republican, 26.267. 1t
will thus be seen that the total Democratic
and Populist vote was 56.4 per cent in 1880.
555 per cent in 1892, 57.3 in 1894 and 81 per
cent in 1896. At no election in the history
of the territory has the Republican party
had a majority of votes except on the vote
for delegate to congress in the election of
1898. At that election, according to the
official returns. the total vote for delegate
for congress was only 4s,sl9: for members
of the council. 42Si5, and for members of
the house, ,229. Mr.. Flynn received 2S, 456,
but the total Republican vote for council
men was only 20,200, and for the house
1886. Mr. Keaton's vote was 19.0SS, while
the anti-Republican vote for councilmen
was 222TS, exceeding the Republican vote
for the council by 2,445. and for the house
by 3,3l7. Barring typographical errors,
these figures are believed to be substan-

rection of the church organiSl, Richard

ices, and Chopin's funeral march was
played as the procession moved up the
aisle. The only floral tributes at the

ROBINSON FOR JUDGE.
Miller County Man Who FIopped
From RepubIicanism in 1896, to
Succeed ShackIeford

JEFFERSON CITY, Sept .15.-(Special1
Governor Stephens this morning appoint
ed Thomas B. Robinson. of Tuscumbia,
Miller county. to be Judge in the Four
teenth district, succeeding Congressman
Shackleford. Up to a late hour last night
1t was thought that the place would go to
either Morgan or Moniteau county. but the
arrival here late yesterday afternoon of a
strong delegation Of Miller county people
headed by s. r. English. chairman of the
Democratic county committee, and COM
posed of leading business men and Demo-
Gratis, changed the whole thing. Judge Rob
inson accompanied the delegation. The
only objection that was urged against him
in any quarter was that his physical con-
dition was such that he could not dis
charge the duties of the office The bitter
ness of the fight among the rival factions
in Moniteau and Morgan had much to do
with the selection of Robinson. He is an
able lawyer and good man. Judge Rob-
inson has been for many years one Of the
leaders of tie bar of Central Missouri
Until 1896 he was a Republican and be-
came n Democrat on the silver issue 1t is
understood that he will not be a candidate
for another term.

KAFIR CORN IN FAVOR.
Kansas Acreage Has Increased From
48,041 In 1892 to 5S2,s9S
in 1890,

Topeka, Sept. 15.-(special) The re-
turns of assessors to the Kansas board Of
agriculture show the acreage of Kafir corn
to be 47152 acres, or about per cent, great
er than last year. The counties now hav-
ing 10000 acres and more are Green
wood with S3,oS5 acres; Lyon, 2I,246; Butler,
e, ,76S; Dickinson, 22,SI7; Pratt, 1882; Nor
ris. 1858; Reno. 16.sl5; Harper, 1908; Clay.

worth, 11,510; Coffey, 10.S47; Comanche, 10,-
35S, and Russell, 10,0OS. These fifteen coun-
ties comprise 4o.5 per cent or nearly one
half of the entire area of the crop in the
state. In the remaining ninety counties the
acreage ranges from ninety four acres in
Sherman county. to am acres in Marion.
An interesting feature in the returns is
that the foremost corn counties, compris-
ing 52 per cent of the total corn acreage,
have 80 per cent of the total area of Kafir
corn. The rapidity with which Kafr corn
has found favor among feeders and farm
ers Is demonstrated by the fact that seven
years ago. when the crop was first report
ed to the state board of agriculture, there
were but 46,941 acres, while the returns now
give 5s2S95 acres, a marvellous increase of
l.142 per cent. showing that it has taken
rank among the most valued foods for live
stock in all sections of the state.

his mind between now and the 1st of Octo-
Der. Senator Emmert Dowell, of the Clark
county district, and a member of the COM
mittee that is engaged in compiling and
codifying the revised statutes, will be a
living example of one Missouri Democrat
who can tear himself loose from salary of
IS a day. Senator Dowell announced to-
day that he would resign as a member of
the committee October l, to go home and
attend to his law practice, which he claims
is being sadly neglected and run down at
the heel while he is indeXing laws at the
state capital. The real reason why he will
resign is that he wants to prepare for
making a campaign for the Democratic
nomination for attorney general.
