 HOW standard is ruinous to BUSINESS merchants and manu-
 MEN facturers.-From Bry-
 WERE ans Madison Square
 RUINED. Garden speech, August
 12. 1896.
 Never in the history of the United States, except in the years 1880 and 1881, was there such a small number or percentage of business failures as there was in 1899. IN THE YEAR THE NUMBER OF FAILURES WAS 9.S37, THE LOWEST SINCE 1883, WHEN TT WAS 9,1S4. The total amount of li- abilities last year was s90,S79, ,SS9 which was the lowest in any year ex- cept the two years designated. Com pare with this magnificent record the record of 1896, or 1885, or 1893.
 IN 1896 THERE WERE 15,OSS FAIL URES, WITH $226, ,096 S34 LIABILI- TIES; IN 1895 THE NUMBER WAS 13,197 WITH LIABILITIES AMOUNT ING TO $173,196, ,O6O, AND IN 1893 THERE 1922 FAILURES WITH S$46. .779,SS9 LIABILITIES
 "Ruinous to merchants and manu- facturers," said Mir. Bryan. Let us see. In the first place, one of the best indi- cations of the conditions of this class of business men is the size of their bank accounts. For business deposits the national banks are used almost exclu- sfvely by merchants and manuf2 ctur- CTS. In 1896 the deposits in all the na tional banks of the United States were s1,6S6, ,O00,0 900. The year following Me Kinleys election they increased to $1, ,76S, ,0OO GOO; IN 1898 THEY AMOUNT ED TO s2,O7S,OOO, GOO, AND IN 1899 THEY JUMPED TO $z,5O7, GOO, ,000, AN INCREASE OF NEARLY ONE BIL- LION DOLLARS IN THREE YEARS WHICH MEANS THAT THE BUSI- NESS MEN WERE THAT MUCH THEY WE'RE IN 1896.
 Another demonstration of the fallacy of MT. Bryan's prediction is found in the figures showing the exports of manufactured products during the last five years. In 1896, the value of the manufactures sent abroad was s22S,- 571,17S and this amount has been near ly doubled since.

CANApA,s NEW LEADER.


 Quebec-The advent Of a new con- servative leader in Canadian politics is just now arousing great enthusiasm in the party's rank and file. Sir Charles Tupper is in his eightieth year and, though still possessing the physi- cal and mental vigor of a very much younger man, he is more or less dis trusted by friend and foe alike for his many broken promises. His signal failure at the general elections which followed his acceptance of the premier ship in 1896 has had a discoura ging ef- feet upon his party. Sir Charles has just summoned to his aid the only son of krs old friend and leader, the late Sir JChn A. Macdonald. Hugh John Macdonald, who is just 90 years old, possesses many points of resemblance to his distinguished father, the great est statesman that Canada has yet produced. Hugh John,' as he is af- fectionately called by his fathers old friends and admirers, not only bears strong facial resemblance to his fath- CT, but possesses much of his power of personal magnetism and political sa- gacity. In some of his characteristics he is decidedly his fathers superior. He has already developed a greater power of oratory than his father ever displayed, and has carefully avoided the evasive and procrastinating man ner of dealing With political friends that earned for the great statesman the soubriquet of "Old Tomorrow" On the other hand Hugh John is nick named by his friends The man who keeps his word,' title first given him by the Indians of Manitoba.
 It was only last year that MT. Mac donald accepted the Conservative leader ship in that province, and so great was the confidence reposed in him by all classes of the community that at the provincial election which quickly followed his re-entry into po- litical life, he succeeded in defeating the liberal government of the day, and has since occupied the place of premier Of Manitoba. The prompt manner in which he has fulfilled all his ante election promises has justified and per petuated his Indian name of "The man who keeps his word"
 MT. Macdonald was for some time member of the Dominion parliament and in 1896 was minister. of the inte- TlOr in Sir CnarleS 1uppe4 . SON Si II ment He represented Winnipeg where fer many years past he has practfced law In re-entering the De- minion parliament. it will, of course become necessary for MT. Macdonald to resign the premiership of Manitoba. He has decided to oppose the Hon. MT Sifton. one of Sir Wilfrid Lauriers catinet ministers. in Brandon, and the contest will be very severe and one or the most important in the whole course of the campaign, as the whole strength of the federal executive will be em- ployed to bring about MT. Macdon- aids defeat. The friends of the latter' however. seem to regard him as invinc- ible. and though he is nOminally run ming as one of Sir Charles Tupper 5 leading Lieutenants, few people doubt but that he will very shortly, in the event of q conservative victory at the polls. supplant his present leader as prime minister of yae dominion of Can ada.

ALL SHOULD REGISTER.

Every voter in the county ghouIl register if we are to expect statehood. A small vote, representing 25.0OO to 4O,COO inhabitants, will not assist our delegate to congress in his efforts to secure statehood for Arizona Every miner and prospeotor is deeply inter- ested. There will be ten dollars avail able for investment in our mines with statehood where there is one dollar now, and certainly there are none more interested :n bringing about such a condition e things than the miner and prospeccor. All this cry about anti-corpor&tioas is humbuggery and demaSoguery of the rankcsr kind. What would cur miners do if it were not for corporations? How many mines were ever opened and operated by in- dividuals? The miners of this terri tory shorld not be fooled by such non- selsicai talk. If the people of this territory do their duty this fall and elect republican legislature ard a republican delegate to congress it will mean millions of dollars to the terrI- tory in the shape of investment in le- gitimate enterprises. From all indi- cations, the citizens are awake to their interests and Governor Murphy will undoubtedly receive an overwhelming ajority.-Journal-M Miner.

We print elsewhere in this number Of The Republican a communication from MT. Aaron Goldberg on the sub ject of water storage. Mir Goldberg would have the county bond itself for one-fourth of the sum required to con struct a reservoir and become a part ner in the enterprise, CT, if necessary, donate half million dollars to any company that would under take and complete a reservoir. MT. Goldberg realizes, as does The Republican, that it will be neces. sary to rely on private capital to Sc. cure water storage. Capital stands ready to embark in the enterprise, only waiting for the county to decide whether it vii; show faith by the ap- propriation of a substantial sum. With the drought becoming more and more oppressive it is to be hoped that the water storage committee will soon be able to make a recomm andation.

STRANGE CASE OF TELEPATHY.

The following remarkable incident was published in one of the leading pa pers. which vouched for its accuracy:
 Three gentlemen were strolllng down one of the principal avenues of the Bois de Boulogne, chatting, when suddenly one of them, overcome by some mysterious influence, stopped short and ceased talking.
 "Over his sense a cloud descended.
 The scene in the Bois went from be- fore his eyes and the sound of his friends voices fled from his ears. He was only conscious of being in the midst of a vast plain, upon which SOW ly appeared a coffin, in which lay his sister, dead.
 The vision faded from his mind.
 "On recovering himself he found his friends staring at him in alarm, while he was shaking as though from cold. Much alarmed, he told them what had happened.
 He hastened to a telegraph office and wired to enquire the state of his sisters health. She was 5000 miles from Paris
 When the reply came it stated that she had died at the very moment when he had his vision.-Paris Herald.

territorial treasurer pays it. The amounts thus disbursed, however, are charged to the counties on whose ac- count they are paid, and when the levies are received the proper entries are made. This fact is so patent that The Republican did not consider it necessary yesterday, Tn dissecting Judge Bakers incorrect utterances, to refer to it. The -cople who are spread ing misinforrIl' ion concerning the bonds will fir this a mighty slim reed on whicn t) lang their case.

The fact that Yavapai county has not yet made a levy to pa the interest on the funded Yavapai bends. does not alter the contention of The Republl-

UNIFORMS OF MANDARINS

Mandarins in China may be distin- guished by the birds that decorate their uniforms as well as by their but tons. Mandarins of the first rank have a bird known as the flung embroidered on their clothes. Mandarins of the sec ond rank have their robes adorned by the figure of a cock. Mandarins of the third rank have a peacock. Mandarins of the fourth rank are adorned with a pelican. Those of the fifth rank are easily distinguished by the -silvec pheasant.

bezZling note teller Of the First National
Eank OF New York city, is the concern of
every amateur detective in st. Louis. The
reward of s500o offered for his capture has

ST. Louis SO persistently that visitors have
been annoyed by their close scrutiny.
Five thousand good. hard dollars for the
Identification of man Is tempting offer.
and the belief that the dashing note teller
OF the First National has sought st. Louis
as 4 hiding-piace. because Of the absence OF
sufficient street lights. is growing to be a
public nuisance.
Early yesterday morning stranger ap-
peared at the desk Of the Southern Hotel.
His manner was deeply mysterious. and he
seemed to be laboriEg under great excite

in a sepulchral tone:

The Rev. William Hoffman and
Brothers Widow Ended Their
Courtship by Marriage.
IGNORED ALL OBSTACLES.
Evangelical Seminary, His Alma
Mater, and Bri1egrOom's Mother
Were Powerless to Thwart
His Plans.

The Reverend William Hoffman, whose
engagement to his brothers widow nearly
cost him his doctors degree. was married
yesterday afternoon TO the woman OF his
choice. Louisa Hoffman. His mother. who
always opposed the match, is still unrelent-
ing. and does not speak to her son any
more. His brothers and sisters accord him
the same treatment
Hoffman had been student of the Evan
gelical Theological Seminary. one of whose
rules is that no student OF the institution
may marry. become engaged. or pay any
attention to women in the course of his un-
dergraduate course.
In the last semester. on the completion
of which William Hoffman was TO receive
his diploma. the faculty learned that the
young man was payiEg marked attentions
to the widow of his brother. The faculty
brought AIR. Hoffman before them He ad-
mttcd that the charge was we'll founded.
The faculty refused to grant him diplo-
ma although he successfully completed the
course.
At this moment tf trial a heavier blow
was struck at the young suitor by his
mother, who lives only two doors south or
him. at No. 1928 Lin: :on avenue. She refused
to hold further co nmunication with him
or with her daughter -in-law. Following the
mothers lead, his brothers and sisters be-
gan to avoid him. Yet Hoffman persevered
in his suit. both against the faculty and
for the hand of his beloved Louisa.
In both was he successful For finding
that he had inst tuted civil proceedings
against them. and would in all probability
win his case, the faculty agreed TO a COM
promise. paying costs and granting Hoff-
man a certificate, with the assurance that
a regular diploma will be given him at the
next granting of de srees, Then by his own
request Mr.. Hoffman was transferred to
the English Evangel lical Church.

brought to a happy ending yesterday. AT 10
