"With the defeat of Murphy,
the last hope Of statehood for
Arizona is gone, " is the general
tone of the republican newspa-
pers throughout the territory.
Such statements are the most
nonseniCal rot. If Gov. Murphy
and the republican party of the
territory are sincere IN their pro
testatiOns for statehood, state
hood can be obtained at the ses-
sion of congress which meets in
December. Our present dele.
gate, Col. Wilson, will bring tC
their aid every single democrat
in both branches Of congress.
Let the republicans of Arizona
get one-fOurth Of the republican
members of congress to support
Col. Wilson IN his efforts IN that
direction and statehood for Ari-
zona will be an accomplished
fact. VIII they do it? THE
MAIL answers, no. And goes
further. Neither Murphy nor
any of the leaders OF the repub-
lican party in Arizona desire
statehood. If there is any like
lihood of Arizona becoming a
state at the approaching session
of congress, Gov. Murphy will
be seen rushing to Washington
as fast as steam can carry him
to lobby against it. Help Viii
son get statehood. Show your
faith by your works, or cease
your false yawp about Murphy
and statehood. It is becoming
nauseating to all sensible indi-
vidualS.

Press Censorship ALLOWS Little news
From Ladysmith.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-The. severity of the
censorship at the present moment pre-
vents the special correspondents from
giving additional information to supple
ment Gen. Buffers latest dispatch. The
success of the movement depends almost
entirely upon how far he proves able to
| outmaneuver the Beers, whose available
forces are doubtless larger than his own.
The chief difficulty lies in the ability OF
the Beers to transport men, stores and
ammunition quickly and to intrench new
positions Secrecy regarding Gen. Bull
ier's progress, therefore, is essential anu
the public press Is quite content to wait
patiently. ssst ~
From the information which the censor
has allowed to pass it Is as yet Impossible
to form a correct notion OF the BRUSH
tactics. One thing, however, is quite
clear. The British commanders have
protited by experience and are now avoid
ing Infantry charges, giving preference to
the more .judicious use Of artillery. The
general idea is that Sir Redvers Bulier,.
with some 5000 men and some eighteen
field guns, is holding the northern BANK
of the Tugela at Potgieter's DRIFT, Whlle
Sir Charles Warren with about 12000 men,
thirty guns and large force OF cav
airy is working around the right uanK
of the Beers, eight or ten miles away.
One account of Saturdays fighting says
that the British had few killed. Little
reliance can be placed upon these re-
ports, and, although the main position OF
the Beers has not yet been attacked ana
nothing is known as to Its strength
Saturdays and Sundays fight, which can
hardly be described as more than outpost
affairs, evidently entailed serious losses.
The Beers are following their old time
tactics, making a show of resistance and
then retreating in good order to prepared
positions, and as they are working from
the interior OF their lines they may be
able to bring strong forces to defend the
main position. @t#n
Nothing is heard regarding any counter
attack by Sir George White from Lady

THEIR ADVERTISING VALUE.
George p. RoweIl Pays n Compliment
to Western Dailies.

George r. ROweH Pays n COmpIim ent
to Western Dailies.
George P. Rowell, of New York, pres
ident of the American Newspaper Dlrec-
tory company, is at the West hotel. He
is combining business and pleasure on a
trip through the West, and will leave for
California today.
The newspaper directory, which was
founded in 1869. contains names and facts
about 21,000 papers in every state in the
Union. OF that number there are over
1000 dailies. The newspaper directory
sustains the same relation to advertisers
that mercantile az encies have in the
financial world.
The fact to which particular attention
is paid in the directory is that which has
to do with the circulation Of the differ
ent papers.
when a firm wishes to engage In
newspaper advertising said Mr.. Rowell,
'it is particularly interested in the a.:
timated circulation of the prospective ad-
vertising medium. The paper in a given
locality which has the largest circula-
b ton is naturally the one which appeals
the most to advertisers.
while our statistics could not pre-
tend to be infallible, We aim to make our
statements as near being right about the
number of bona fide subscribers Of a
the financial standing of corporations and
individuals For that reason it is only
natural when we come in contact with
the circulation liar that we should take
his representations with several grains Of
salt. We know that circulation liars
are ambitious, and that they are, as be-
comes their fate, often somewhat given to
exaggeration. Each of them wishes it
understood by the great yearning public
no he OF yuhi
sent are in point of circula ton the big
gest things in the country
In percentage of population, Mr. Rowell
says that the West easily distances the
East in number of daily papers. Believ-
ing that the Western people are greater
advertisers he says that Western dailies
yield greater returns as advertising me-
diums than do their esteemed contempor-
aries in the East.
