a strong man and President Kruger may
have taken advantage of this. But. when

THE BUILDERS OF ARIZONA.

MonteZuma street win have more up- months than any other town of like size in the southwest The late fire
 wrought havoc with many, but, being
 imbued with the true western spirit
 of progress the buildings now being erected in the wake of the relentless
 flames are an evidence that the people
 of Prescott have an abiding faith in the future of the city of pines Nothing can fail when backed by such confi- dence. The old timers of the country have contributed to keep Yavapai county at her high standard of pros perity. uncovering her hidden treasure and demonstrating to the world that nowhere on earth are there greater possibilities or more generous remu- neration for those who labor. Those who have been instrumental in deVel- oping this section of Arizona are not of a jealous disposition, but extend the hand of good fellowship to all who may conie and assist in the further develop ment of this incomparable region. It matters not from whence he comes. of what political faith he may be, what creed he may embrace, it is all the same to the oldtimer-justs so long as he is honest and lends a helping hand in furtherance of the work begun and un- der way. Let his mite be ever so small the old Hassayamper will give gener- ous recognition. And for this reason if for none other the Murphys are en- titled to, and have gained, the respect and esteem of the horny handed miner, the rancher. and the public in general. It is useless to dilate upon what Gov ernor Murphy has done for Arizona; it would be idle to enumerate the inn provements inaugurated and carried to comple ton by Frank Murphy. These two gentlemen have been tireless Tn their devotion to the upbuilding of Arizona. inducing capital into our midst, enhancing values and making il possible for the immediate development of our unparalleled resources when. otherwise, the country would remain dormant inactive and productive. as are those who decry progress and belittle the active, successful business man. Would that we had many more such men to construct railways in Ari- zona, eXcavate irrigating canals, open up and operate mines erect business blocks and contiue us on our high road to prosperity. There is no fear that Governor Murphy will fail of hearty indorseH:ent at the polls on November 6. His election as congressman will be an assurance of early statehood, with all attendant blessings that will fail to fall to our lot if we neglect to send a good man to the seat of government.

POLITICAL HYPOCRISY.

The bonds of Yavapai county. over which the democratic candidates and orators make so much fuss, was either q just debt or an unjust one. If just it should be paid and the bonds should have been validated. No one has ever declared the debt unjust. Those criti- cizing the loudest the validating of the bonds have never assailed the justice of the debt. Congress would not have validated the bonds were the debt un- just. Now. upon the other hand, the Pima county bonds were not just debt The consideration for which they were to be given was never executed. And they cannot and never will be validated. To assail Governor Murphy now for the part he took in the vali- dation of the Yavapai bonds is a piece of rank political hypocrisy. It is just as dishonest to assail him as it would have been to repudiate the just debt. Yavapai county got the railway for which the bonds were issued: it was not the fault of those who bought the bonds that the road was afterward re mOVed.-Nogales Oasis
