San Francisco, May 6.-Ensign Fred
Perkins. son of Senator Perkins, who
,,on distinction in the Philippines on the
rinse of the Bennington, confirms the
story of young officer who has returned
recently from the Philippines that there
no between 500 and 800 volunteer officers
now at .. 'front.' who have rendered their
destinations to General Otis Only a
few of the designations have ever reached
Washington. Most of the officers are
voung men who were appointed from
::ivil life at the outbreak of the war and
wore not trained for the trade of war.
The principal reason they give for want
inc to return home is that it means sure
death from disease to remain in .Ae
philippines under existing conditions.
"The trouble is" said the young otti-
Ger. that the boys are not permitted to
90 after the enemy and finish them, as
i generally understood to be the thing
in warfare They have to do a sort Of
police duty, and that means lying in the
rain soaked camps and only occasionally
having a brush with the enemy. Death
from disease always stares them in the
face. When a man gets sick he is sent
TO the hospital and gets excellent treat
ment, but wnen he becomes convalescent

THE DEMOCRATIC SWEEP IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

North Carolina and all the people
thereof are to be congratulated on
the clean sweep made by the
Democrats in Thursdays election. No
body who was at all acquainted with
the conditions in the Tar Heel State,
or with the temper of it's people,
doubted for n moment that just what
has happened would happen. Never
theless. it is pleasant to know the re-
suit. SO desirable from every point OF
view. was achieved without the attend
ant scenes of violence which were an
ticfpated by many.
While the main objective of the cam
paign was the elimination of the negro
as menacing factor in politics, n con-
summation assured by the adoption of
the amendment to the States Constitu-
ton. what will be a matter of no less
keen qualification to many Tar Heels
is the effectual quietus the sweeping
victory of Thursday puts upon as sor-
did and despicable Il cabal OF politicians
as ever cursed q Southern State in re-
construction days. 1t was not only a
victory for white supremacy" which

1t was no less victory for decency in
public affairs and for order and sta
bility in government. The Tar Heels
are conservative folk, but they have
contrived to give to the political huck-
ster. who bargains for office as he
would for cabbage, trading on the
votes OF his ignorant and vcnal follow
ers. such singing rebuke as he shall
have cause to remember for quarter
of century.

4 Comparison of Bonds.

The Journal-Murphy would have people believe that there Is no simi larity in the Pima county and the Yavapai county bond cases. Both sets of bonds were issued under the same act of the Arizona legislature" '" Courier.
 Of course the above was written from memory. If the writer had taken the pains to investigate he would have discovered that such a statement was not correct, hence he preferred to depend on memory. They were passed by the same legis- lature as was also the Maricopa county subsidy act. but not the same act.
 The dissimilarity occurs in the fact that the railroad for which the Yava pai bonds were issued was built and the interest on the bonds paid, for seven years and S27,000 of the prin cipal was paid. The Pima county road was never built and the county never paid any interest on them.
 Another dissimilarity in them and one which was fatal to tine Pima county bonds was that the latter pro vided for the immediate issue of the bonds, whereas the Yavapai county bonds were issued only as each ten miles of the road were completed. It does not take a very high order of le gal lore to distinguish between the two classes of bonds. One was is sued without consideration, the other for consideration.
 Oucontemporary, which hasall along claimed that the supreme court had declared, in substance, that the Nava- pal county bonds were illegal, now takes another tack and says that ''the supreme court had decided the Pima county bonds illegal, and the Yavapai bonds were rapidly taking the same route.
 As Pima county had not paid any interest on her bonds and as they were issued without consideration, they were not legalized by the latter act of congress, and do not come un- der its provisions.
 From the above, any one can see the dissimilarity between the two class of bond. The Maricopa county

While everybody does not know that those bonds would now be defunct, had not that act legalizing them been passed, every one does know that refusal to pay them would have been rank repudia- ton and any other bonds wanted for public improvements would not have been worth fifty cents on the dollar.

He has been in con gress tenyears and should he be tbere ten more the territory would still be knocking at the doors of congress for recognition.

Irresponsible Assertions.

 again into the bond question. They say" now that the bonds were bought up at fifteen cents on the dollar. The they say" formerly used was that they were bought up for ten cents. Will our contemporary inform its readers and the public generally who they" are who say this. As matter of fact these bonds never sold for any such figures. The old P. & A. c. railroad bonds did sell for ten cents after Mr. Bullock refused to sell to the :. F. P. X P. railroad and the pur- chasers at this price lost all their in vestment.

A big republican rally will be held in Prescott on Tuesday evening next, October 23d. at which Governor \. O. Murphy and others will speak.

MurphY Meetinps Successful.

A telegram to the Republican from Graham county says that Governor Murphy addressed a big audience at Morenci yesterday afternoon. He was most cordially welcomed and great enthusiasm prevailed. He re- ferred somewhat to national issues, but spoke at greater length on the question of statehood and the oppor- tunities now offered to Arizona to grasp the coveted prize. He also re- ferred to the bond matter in which he had been greatly misrepre sented, and told the facts regarding the notable Yavapai securities. His address was right to the point and was loudly applauded.
 At Clifton a mammoth rally was held last night. Governor Murphy has always had a large number of warm friends in this camp and his visit here has made him many more. His speech was largely on the subject of statehood and it was made plain that the conditions that now exist are such that a democrat could do little little toward accomplishing the one great thing expected of Arizona's next delegate. The matter of the Yavapai bonds was, of course, dis cussed, their true history was given and the falsehoods and misrepresen- tations that have been peddled around over the territory were laid bare. The governor has greatly strengthened his cause in this county.

the wheel and elect a man to congress who will put Arizona into the union. Let Mark Smith and his spacious promises and smooth hammered speech go for a time; let him continue in his practice of law in Tucson and send Governor Murphy to congress. Secure the admission of Arizona to the union; then Mark and his friends will be given an opportunity to cross swords with the republicans on issues that are dear to the hearts of every citizen of this territory. The time and con ditions are opportune. President Me Kinley is absolutely assured oi a reelection; the same solid phalanx of republicans will sit in the national congress for the coming two years. The same old time leaders Of the party will take the lead in all matters pertaining to ad
 mission of new states and other i'm
 portant propositions, that will be be
 fore the nation for consideration. Now Is it not absurd for Arizona which will
 come before that body, to send a life
 long and well known democrat to that body to ask for political favors? The admission of new states is purely 8 political question with the dominant party to consider whether the admis. sion of two senators and one congress
 man to the national congress will mol endanger the majority party. You can talk about your liberty and yom rights under the constitution till you are black in the face, but the way tC get republican favors is to show that party that you will bestow like favors upon it. No man likes to bow the neck to the party whip but there are times when in the interest of ouI country and our homes, it becomes necessary. We in Arizona have stood by what We called "Our rights" fo1 years and sent a democratic delegate to a republican congress, and the man has always returned to us empty handed. Now We ask our citizens who have lived under territorial gov. ernment sufficient length of time tc consider these questions well; consider that there are forty-five states in the American union and that it has al. ways been the dream and the hope oi each one of them in its youth to be
 come a state in the great republic
