On the question of retaining the Phil ippines, Bryan has not the sincere sup
 port of the masses of his HIS PARTY own party. His main NOT strength lies in the WITH HIM. southern states. but the
 southern democrats are nearly all of them in favor of keeping our territory in the orient. The south ern editors of democratic papers pres ent at the recent meeting of the Asso- ciated Press in Chicago were closely questioned on the intelligent sentim ent of their respective localities. They said it approved the policy of the govern ment in the Philippines. Nothing but the prejudice against the colored race would prevent them voting for McKin- ley. The people of the south have no sympathy with the Aguinaldo outlaws and detest Bryan's teaching on the question. They also see that their own interests are depending on expansion. A Vicksburg bank president writes a letter containing the following passage:
 "Bryanism becomes more repulsive to me every day, and thousands of buSi- ness men in this state feel as I do and will welcome the day when the people of the south can vote as their judgment dictates. As things now stand l shall not vote at all. It is humiliating to me to occupy such position, but any other course would place me in a false light before the people here. May conditions soon change"
 William R. Hearst, who runs Bryan ite papers at New York, Chicago and San Francisco, is not a sincere adher- ent of his Philippine folly. In Novem- Der, 1898, he said of the New York vote:
 1.-The vote of.thfs election is vote of approval of the war and the principle of expansion. It is both right and req sonable that the administration which, despite some mistakes, carried this glorious war to succes sful conciu- sion should receive a vote of confidence. It is both right and reasonable that the policy of expansion, ever the policy of the American people since Jefferson annexed the Louisianas, should receive the approval of the American voters, republican and democratic"
 Again, in an editorial printed in the New York Journal in 1899, he said:
 We trust that Mir. Bryan will yet range himself in line with the national aspirations for expansion. The time has come. as it comes at intervals to every vigorous nationals it has come to ours on several former occa sions-when the old boundaries are too contracted for the pulsing life within them. and when the health of the body polite demands that room. The popular instinct under r. stands the need for these periodical eX- pansions and every genuine statesman understands it, too. The popular in

HOW MIR. BEEcHER FOUND REST.

The late Henry Ward Beecher was somewhat eccentric at times in the mode of his recreations. Once he was greatly in need of a brief rest. and. de- string to escape publicity in his retreat, he hit upon d novel plan. He boarded train one day without knowing how much money he had with him. When the conductor called for tickets Beech CT gave him a handful of silver coins of various denominations and said:
 There, take me as far as that will carry me and then put me off"
 The conductor looked surprised, but said he would do as bidden.
 Beecher was well please with his ex- pertinent, and determined to remain incog. until his return home. At-er a few hours ride he was told that the time had come to get off, and he alight cl at a little town which ha had never before heard of Here ;le would find a briel refuge from the world. A s.rarg- CT in a strange town, he woull snatch a few days of needei rest.
 That evening he wenr to the village church, The preacher was young man just out of college. He arose with much
 
 out tremor, delivered one of Beecher's s best sermons, word fnr V ord. The con- gr Patior vas astonishei at the young mans .c'oquence. anI Beechcr was da?>d at his eff.Ontery.
 Young man. said the great divine, aTsI services Were ger. "hoW l;:I2 Gld flake you to prepd:f th:tt sernon." "Oh, about 30 minutes" was the glib reply. You are indeed precocious youth" said Beecher, a little warmly. that sermon cost me ten years of hard work" The bystanders were thunder struck. The young man turned pale and fled. All recognized at once the famous features of the great preacher, The little church was soon packed again with a curious crowd anxious to get better view of the distinguished pulpit orator. Beecher finally made his way through the crowd to his little lodging house. That night he had no rest. All through the night he heard voices calling to the landlord: ''Is Beecher stopping here? How long will he stay? Will he lecture tomorrow" etc. And the upshot of it was that Mir Beecher boarded the early morning train to seek again the peaceful scli- tudes of New York City.-Omaha Bee.

CHARLES DICKENS PRESENT.

Charles Dickens was always very fond of children. One day he was walk ing in the neighborhood of Gads hill, not long after he had acquird his prop erty there, when he suddenly ran into a little girl wheeling a dolls perambu- lator. Tn an instant the tiny vehicle upset, the dolls being thrown out.
 It was bad accident as far as they were concerned, for wax heads and limbs are not calculated to stand much hard usage. The little maid burst into tears. and, much to the novelist's sor- row, refused to be comforted.
 Then come home with me-" Dickens whispered, soothingly, and we'll see if we can't find some grand waxen lady in silks and satins for you"
 So back to the big house the two went. and, sure enough, up in his chill dren's nursery he managed to discover a few prettily dressed dolls. With these safely tucked in her perambulator the little girl trotted off.
 But it is in the sequel that the best part of the story lies. The child's heart was set on making some return for this kindness so her parents, who had not the faintest suspicion of her friend s personality, took her to town to choose something. Her choice fell eventually upon gorgeOusly bound book.
 When Dickens the next day undid the parcel his small visitor brought him he was surprised and delighted to see a copy of David Copperfield.
 Not until many years later, when they met again in society, did the little girl learn who the kind gentleman" was.-Spare Moments.

Governor N. O. Murphy was nomi.. mated yesterday for the office of dele
 gate to congress by the
 OUR strongest and best con-
 NEXT ducted convention ever DELEGATE. held in Arizona. In a
 spirited contest with Captain George D. Christy the governor won by forty-five votes and he was nominated by ac- clamation on the motion of Cap tam Christy's spokesman on the floor. The attitude of the defeated candidate and his friends appealed to every lover of fair play They made a stiff fight and when the contest was over they joined with their former opponents in a demonstration which amounted 10 a declaration that the republican party in Arizona is united and will make . memorable fight in the campaign thus ar,p:cTously opened. The speech of acceptance by Governor Murphy was happy in the extrame. If there, were any doubts in the conven- tion hall as to his ability as a leader they were dispelled by his easy and powerful presentation of the issues in voIved in this struggle. The govern or's speech appears elsewhere In this newspaper. It shows a determination on his part to make a winning fight, and accepts as conclusive the ia >r made so plain during the closing mo- ments of the convention, that there are no factions for the candidate to deal with and no obstacles in the way of d successful canvass.
 The convention was fortunate In hav- ing as it's permanent chairman that prince of presiding officers. Col. W.T. liam Herring of Tucson. His speech on assuming the chair awakened the en- thusisam of the great assemplage. His rulings were decisive and fair. He permitted the delegates just enough H. cense to enliven the proceedings, but at no time was an opportunity afforded

A BEAUTIFUL GEORGIA BELLE

In her early youth Julia Hurt was an exquisite specimen of willful, adven- turous southern girlhood, and was known far and wide for her daring es- capades on horseback. When quite young she married Captain Colqultt, United States army. who was soon af- ter killed in the war. leading a confed- crate division. The young widow soon after went to Paris. It was just about this time that Napoleon III summoned young Jerome Bonaparte of Baltimore, an officer in the United States army. to the French court. It happened that Captain Colquitt and Jerome Bonaparte having been classmates at West Point, were warm personal friends, and, nat urany, the formers widow no sooner

HIS LONESOME FIVE MINUTES.

Colonel A. K. Mcclure has stood on many platforms, has addressed assem- plies large and small political, social and religious. He is noted for his self command under any circumstances, but on one occasion he was distinctly enl- barrassed and ill at ease.
 On this occasion Colonel Mcclure was the chief speaker at a large assembly the audience being made up mainly of farmers, or other persons who had driven to the place of meeting. In the midst of an eloquent speech it began to rain. One after another of his hearers jumped up and hurried out, until the speaker was left with an array of empty benches before him.
 Colonel McClure's face flushed crim- son. He had said not a word that could give offense, and he naturally failed to understand the sudden leave-taking; but his embarrassment was quickly changed to amusement when the chair man arose and said:
 It's all right, colonel; they're only going out to look after the horses i; they'll be back pretty soon."
 The orator sat down until the farm CTS returned, and then resumed his speech.-Saturday Evening Post

It was the general expression among the people of Phoenix yesterday that the republican convention was com posed of the best material and was the most truly representative political gathering ever assembled in the terri tory. The delegates were from all the walks of life and their keen, intelligent faces, so typically American, were in themselves a whole sermon in favor of statehood. There was not a semblance of bosssm or dirty politics in the con- vention. Substantially all of the dele gates came uninstructed. and, indeed, without any bias or prejudice in the matter of candidates. Altogether a more intelligent independent and pat riotic convention could not be as sembled in the United States.

The supporters of Captain Christy in yesterdays convention have no cause to feel downcast over his defeat. He put up a clean, creditable, and good humOred contest for the nomination. and accepted the result with a grace which won for him many new friends A young man of his tact and ability cannot fail to make his mark.

The proceedings of yesterdays con- vention brought out the fact that the republican party of Arizona has with in its ranks a number of excellent ora tors. Jerry Mil.ay in his speech nom- mating Captain Christy won new laur- els as an eloquent platform speaker, and the lucidity of thought which was apparent throughout his remarks caused his hearers to feel that in the territorial council he is sure to acqult himself with credit. The speeches of MT. Doran, Colonel Herring, General Sampson and Captain Christy were all of a high order, while Governor Murphy demonstrated, as he has so often done before, that he is thoroughly at home on the platform.

the convention to get away from the business in hand. Barring a slight mis-
 understanding 1t the beginning thsre was no sign of friction during the day. | The friends of Captain Christy played and were good humored throughout The speeches were of a high character MT. A. J. Doran of Yavapai, the tenn porary chairman, made many good points. Col. Herring, who resigned the chair temporarily to place the governor in nomination, presented the claims of his candidate in a most forceful man ner. Jerry Millay, who nominated Captain Chrlsty, added flesh Iustre to his reputation as a public speaker Dur ing a short interval while the com mittee on resolutions was preparing its report General A. J. Sampson, United States minister to Ecuador, reused the enthusiasm of the convention to a high pitch by spirited talk on national is- sues. Captain Christy, who was in- vited to address the convention at the close of its deliberations, made a most favorable impression. He is a ready talker and has a fund of information concerning Bryan's paramount issue" The captain will be heard frequently upon the stump this fall and is certain to make a name as a first-class cam paigner.
 Republicans from all parts of the territory were discussing the conven- tion last night and the consensus of opinion was that it dad been successful beyond all expectations It has quick ened the republican pulse, and it's ef- fleets will be apparent in every voting precinct throughout Arizona This Is pre-eminently republican year and there is no doubt that republicans are prepared to take the field and send a republican delegate to republican congress. That statehood will come to Arizona as the result of such action Is as certain as anything can be ir/ this world. It is well known that if Ari- zona goes republican this fall the pres ident in his next message to the con- gress will recommend that statehood be given us. The governor is fortu- nate in his selection of John c. Adams as chairman of the territorial central committee. Mir. Adams is an organizer of first-class ability and will make an aggressive fight. He will be ably as sisted by w. c. Foster, the secretary of the committee.
 The Republican congratulates the re- publicans of Arizona on their magnif- cent showing in convention, and on the splendid prospect of success. It as sures them of its best support. The fight is on, gentlemen! Let us see that the pressure is not relaxed before elec- tion day.

TIGERS NOT PLENTY ABROAD.

Assistant United States Attorney General Beck tells of an amusing incl dent that marked the recent dinner given in London by the bar of England Mir Beck, it will be remembered, while on government business abroad was a guest at the dinner. and answered to the toast, The bar of America" At the conclusion of the address three cheers were given for America. One of the enthusiastic American guests added a vociferous "Tiger!'' A high English ofhcfal who sat next to MT Beck at the banquet table asked the eX-United states district attorney what was meant by the tiger" that followed the cheers. It was explained that the extra shout was a sort of cheer of emphasis. which was generally added by cheering Americans. short time afterward Queen Victoria was toasted, and three hearty cheers were given, after which the high English official who had lis tened to Mr. Becks explanation uttered rousing Tiger" The English guests were surprised. but quickly caught on and took part in the laugh all around.

This committee is already at work
aud later, when it has agreed upon q
measure, lit will be presented to the
stockmen o. the west f0- approval and
amend ment. When finally agreed up
on it willshe presented to congress. In
tie meanwhile the association has re-
oeived assurances that none of the
measures now pending, and which are
not satisfactory to the stockmen as a
whole, will be pushed, and that any
measure the stockmen may agree upon
will receive atten tiOn at the hands of
congress.
As the matter now stands, the Ma
tional Livestock association has sim
ply declared in favor of leasing the
public grazing lands under such re-
strictions as will protect the actual
settler and homestesder, and commit
tee has been appointed to see il it is
posslb BILE to prepare such q measure.
Until this committee has acted, there
is nothing for thestockmen to consider,
as it is understood that all pending bids
are for the time laid aside awaiting
action by the stockmen. The National
association. in convention. declared
that the small s5Ockmau
and homesteader should frst'be protec-
ted, and unless a measure can be
prepared that will accomplish that
purpose the National association will
not support 1t.
1t may be'said in conclusion, that OBJ
from the headquarters of this
association shows almost every corpo-
ration and syndicate to be outspoken n
condemning any leasing proposition, in
sisting that they will never pay one
cent to the government for grazing
their stock on public lands. So all the
hue and cry about this being q cor
pOration measure .is absolutely with
out auy foundation

Prosperous Outlook For the Grant
County Mining Center.
Special Correspondence OF the HERALD.


LoRDSBURG, Mrrch S.-This Grant
county center, hustling little place
of 1000 people, $50 miles west of Ell
Paso on the Southern Pacific, is the
shipping and trading point for the min
ing camps OF Shakespeare and Gold
Hill.
Both of these camps were worked
quite extensively some is years ago,
hundreds of thousands of dollars being
spent In shafts, levels and drifts, and
in the erection Of various kinds of ma
chinery which have since been stand
ing as monuments of someone's folly,
who doubtless thinks now that he
has gathered mining knowledge
through bis experiences.
These camps have been laying
dormant for the past ten years, until
q few months ago when party of Ell
Pasoaus put a prospector into the
field to hunt for mining property.
He examined and bonded the Super
ior mire, situated 3 IL miles west of
rdsburg and l-2 miles west of
Shakespeare. The company purchased
the mine, put on a gasoline hoist and
began shipping ore and up to date
have shipped into Ell Paso about S15,-
600 worth, giving copper, silver and
gold values. The stock of this com
pany went from Is cents per share to
so per share within 90 days. The
