PECULIAR REPUBLICANS.

An appointee of a territorial ad- ministration would naturally be thought to possess horse sense enough to strengthen the appoint ing power by supporting party newspapers. That there are ex- captions, who reside at not so great distance from Phoenix as they may later on, is now well known. The official who, to advance his private interests or to parade his so-called Independence" before the public, hawks his patronage about, or delivers it bodily into the enemy's camp, is not exactly lay ing up political treasures for him. self or associates. The political lane has its turns as we'll as the ono in the proverb, and some are not SC long, either.-Arizona Republican.
 l he territorial administration seems to have been unfortunate, Brother Randolph only in Phoenix but elsewhere. In Santa Cruz county it appointed a board of supervisors, probate judge and clerk who not only have done all they can to uphold democratic newspaper but have driven repub- licans out of office and appointed democrats in their stead. That kind of political cattle always want others to support them if nominated (and even then they knife part of the ticket, as they did in Nogales last year. but they never do any, thing to entitle them to support. As the Republican tersely puts 1t the political lane has its turns as we'll as the one in the proverb, and some are not so long, either" The alleged republican officials of Santa Cruz county will find very sharp turn in the political lane next year.

THE big conference in Chicago last week, called by the Ci''ic Fed eration of that city, to consider the trust problem divided about equal ly for and against trusts. Many strong speeches were made upon both sides of the problem. but nothing was done beyond talking. No resolutions were adopted be- cause both sides could not be suit ed, and the general sense of the conference was that much more dis cussion will be necessary before an effective plan to regulate trusts can be evolved.

IN ILLINOIS farmers are petition ing the governor to lease them the convict labor in the penitentiaries to help harvest their crops, it being almost impossible to get harvest hands, all workmen being em- ployed; in California the school trustees in various districts have prolonged the vacation to let the children fill the demand for help in the canneries; all over the country manufacturing plants of all kinds are working overtime and are six months or more behind in their orders, and yet the calamity howl CTS say there is no prosperity in the country.

WHO got the swamp lands which were ceded to various states by the general government under congress ional enactments framed in the first half of the century? Land mono polists. Who would get the graz ing lands if the general government should lease them as proposed3 Cattle companies.

NoGALEs needs roads radiating in all directions. Good roads draw trade. One-half the energy ex pended in upholding corrupt politi- clans, if directed properly would construct a good system of roads connecting the toan with outlying districts which produce trade. Less politics and more practical proposi- lions; fewer frecrakers and more fuse and powder; not so much win ing and dining and more work and direction fewer bailes and more bracing up to the opportunities and advantages of the town are needed.

SOME of the same newspapers in Arizona which are loudly declaim- ing against ceding the arid lands to the states and territories as loud ly advocate leasing of the grazing lands. Both schemes are palpably in the interest of land monopoly and should both be "sat down upon" - hard. The general govern ment should reclaim the arid lands and dispose of them to actual set tiers in small quantities. All the people should have free access to the grazing lands, and no big cat tie company should be permitted to drive the small cattle owners by monopolizing the ranges under leases from the general government. Look out for the land shark a ways, and reject his schemes.

THE public schools of Chicago have adopted the study of Spanish. A wise move for the time is already at hand when business education is not complete without a good working knowledge of that lan- guage. It is the only language spoken by fully one-half the popu- lation of the western hemisphere, and the acquisition of our new island possessions has brought under the folds of the flag many who speak it. To conduct the growing commerce with these peo- pie Americans must speak their language.

WITH GOOD REASON.

q
 one-half of the energy searching
 for something good to say, their
 readers would be more edifed.--
 Range News.
 It is with good reason that some
 of the editors of the territory ar- raign their opponents with more or less rancor. In most such instan- ces the opponent has been backed into and upheld in throat-cutting opposition by personal and political enemies of the newspaper they cam not control. The crowd behind the
 offending newspaper will not listen
 to an amicable arrangement be- tween the two by which both can
 live and make money; but to grati- fy spite they do all they can to make the opposition cause loss to the newspaper they hate.
 The Range News has at Wilcox a fair field which it fills very well. There is room for one good news paper in that field. Suppose now that SOME of the people of Wilcox, who do not like MT. Dunlap, should club together and assist another editor to establish in the town an other newspaper; suppose the peo- pie backing that other newspaper should openly and boastingly de- clare they would break up MT. Dunlap, ruin his business and run him out of town: suppose the com- peteing paper should resort to all sort of dirty, cut throat competi- ton, instead of treating him with the old time fraternal consideration which is elsewhere than rizona the pride of the journalistic proies- sion; and suppose that in spite of their evil machinatiors MT. Dunlap succeeded in floating along, wear ing out first one man and than in the conduct of the oppo- sition sheet, but that as fast as one threw up the sponge the marplots trying to ruin him would rope an- other sucker into the losing game against him; how long would 1t be before MT. Dunlap wouli lose his patience and treat his opponent to an occasional mild roast?
 Men are in the newspaper busi- ness to make money, just as other men are Ill other lines of business. But the newspaper bnsiness-in Ar1Zona-lS the only one into which men will deliberately sink money gratify the spite of others. That is why there IS so much un- kindness between newspaper editors at Prescott, at Phoenix, in Graham county, at Nogales and elsewhere. If the newspaper men ot Arizona could resolve themselves into a fraternity, as they falsely assert to be, and quit fighting each other financially because in the very nature of the profession they are opposed upon public ques- tions, there would be no trouble, and tue true spirit of fraternity

The Alleged COllOquy With Admiral
Schley ON the BROOKLYN July 3.


Schiey on the Brooklyn July B.
Admiral Schley has returned from his
visit to Denver and Pixies Peak and is most
enthusiastic over his experience in the
west. On his return here he received per-
sonal letter from Lieutenant Commander
Hodgson, navigating officer of the Brook
lyn, which effectually explodes the oft
published story that he admiral Schley)
had ordered Lieutenant Hodgson to shape
the course of the Brooklyn so as to get
away from Cerveras fleet, even at the risk
of cutting down the Texas
The colloquy alleged to have occurred on
the deck of the Brooklyn on the morning of
July 3, 1885, is as follows:
Schley-"Hard aport."
Hodgson-'You mean starboard.''
Schley-"No, / don't. We are near enough
to them 9he Spaniards) already
Hodgson-.'But We will cut down the
Texas"
Schley-"Damn the Texas! Let her look
out for herself
Notwithstanding the positive statement of
Admiral Schley that no such conversation
ever took place and that 1t was absurd on
its face, several newspapers. including the
New York Sun, have constantly reproduced
1t with editorial comment intended to dis
Lieutenant Hodgson. who has remained
silent UP to this time, has now come out in
full corroboration of Admiral Schley's re-
pudiatfon of the alleged colloquy. Lieu
tenant Hodgson's letter is as follows:
Navy Yard. N. Y, June H. 1899.
Dear Admiral Schley:
1.-The colloquy published in the New York
Sun and aiieged to have taken place be-
tween you and me on the day Of the battle
of Santiago, July 5. 1898. never occurred.
