TIE Associated Press in its figures On
the recent Maine election says that the
republicans have lost IL per cent on
their vote for governor in 1896 and that
the democrats have increased their vote
% per ct. Applying this per centage OF
loss for the republicans and again for the
democrats to Illinois, that State would
show a net democratic gain of 168,974
and Bryan would carry it by over
26, 900 majority. The same per centages
on the vote of 1896 applied to Ohio
would give it to the democrats by
majority of 1883. Indiana would be
democratic by So, 495 and these would
be more than enough, added to the
sure democratic States. to elect Bryan.
Maine next to Vermont is one of the
most rock-ribbed of all the republican
States. The republicans flooded both
with money aud their best speakers
from the whole Union, so as to make the
best possible showing of undiminished
strength. The democrats made no
serious fight iu either State, regarding
both as hopelessly republican. Yet the
republican majority in each State falls
of heavily from 1896. The figures
show That the democrats who in 1896
voted for q third ticket or for McKln-
ley, or who stayed at home, have now
come back to the fold. In addition to
the foregoing it may be stated, that
long ago there was large purchasable
vote 10 Maine, estimated by both sides
at $1,000, and this number is not d.
minished of late by the vensl tactics OF
Hanna aud Company. There is moth
ing in the Maine election to give any
comforts TO well-informed republicans.

CONDITION OF THE PlMAs.
Agent HadIey Sees No Hope Except in the
 Building of Reservoir.
From the Los Angeles Times. l

From the Los Angeles Times.l
 The Times has received from Elwood Hadley, United States Indian agent at the Pima agency at Sacaton, Arizona, the following letter, which he desig- mates as statement of "plain facts coming under the present conditions existing among the Pima Indians:"
 "The present unfortunate condition among the Pima Indians, occasioned by the appropriation of the water of the Gila River above the reservation by the white man, and the prolonged drouth, which has hindered the irri- gation of the Indian lands, has been brought to the attention of the public through the press more or less for sev- eral months past, but very recently in a somewhat sensational manner, which does not give the public true concep- tion of existing conditions.
 "The American people owe debt of gratitude to the Pima Indians, and the Americans are not an ungrateful peo- pie. They claims which these Indians have upon our government will be re- cognized. The will receive not only the sympathy which their condition deserves, but such substantial support as they actually need. The Indian Office has already expended 5000 in the purchase of supplies for subsistence of the Pimas, which sum has not yet all been issued; also authorized the purchase of 100000 pounds of wheat for issue to the deserving, those not able to care for themselves, as needed.
 "Congress has made special appro- priation of 10000 for their relief, which appropriation is available and will be used as required. It is not true that the Pima Indians are at the present time emaciated from lack of food it is not true that they are losing their cattle rapidly from Starvation and thirst. Water can be had from ten to thirty feet deep in wells on all parts of the reservation and there is no reason why the Indians cannot pro- vide water for their stock with little labor. Grazing upon the desert is not as good as usual, yet stock seem to be in very fair condition.
 "The wants of such Indians as are really in need of assistance are being supplied by tbe agent from funds sup piled by the government for the pur- pose; but it is not the policy of the In- dian Department to make the Pimas ration Indians, if it can be avoided. The fact that the government has pro- vided means for the relief of the dis tresses has given some Indians an idea that the agent should establish regular ration system of issues, in which every member of the tribe would participate; with this false notion In- dians have been advised to report their condition as deplorable as possible, and express dissatisfaction with the manner in which subsistence supplies for the Indians relief are being dis tributed. For some reason or other there are persons who know but little from d personal acquaintance with the

That the water supply of Salt Rive

That the water supply of Salt River and its tributaries should be increased by construction of reservoirs, all will agree. The most feasible means of doing so is the only matter to be discussed. The entire west, with few exceptions, has agreed on the national system of irrigation by construction of reservoirs by the general govern ment. Any attempt to foster private enterprise by raising public funds with which to promote such construc- tion will be a mistake, as it will retard the national plan. Throughout the entire countsy there is growing seuti- ment in favor of gigantic expenditure by the government in reclai ming the arid lands of the west. Here in Ari- zona the only hope of success is in stand ing with the people of the great west. II Enterprise.

Forty Years Among cannlbals.

The French adventurer who was a captive among cannibals in Central Africa for forty years, has decided to write a book, which will no doubt prove interesting We can sympathize with his release from his terrible cap tivity, which must have been as that of man who finds himself suddenly released from the captivity of refrac- tory stomach, by that peerless remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
 has done more to promote health than any other in existence. This is the
 medicine to take, if you are sufferer from dyspepsia, constipation, indiges- tion, billousness, nervousness or in- somnia. Don't fail to give it trial. Ask for Hostctter's, and do not accept a substitute. The genuine has Private Revenue Stamp over the neck of bottle.

THE MONTANA STYLE.

From the methods adopted by H. J. Allen, Senator Clark's republican major domo at Jerome, it Is getting to be well understood how the bitter fac tional fight now going on in Montana was precipitated, but it can hardly be possible that it is Mir. Clark's wish to have the condition duplicated here in Arizona. He can get it, however, if he wants it. It is true saying that no man here ever looks for trouble without finding it, yet ours are a peaceful people who consider that the easiest way is generally the best way.
 These remarks are called forth by the recent utterances of Mir. Allen re- garding the Congressional candidates before the democratic convention, one of whom The" is going to elect and the other one "he" will defeat, as if "he" were the Whole Thing.
 This plan might work in Montana, but here tLe people are not yet e5- ucated up to the idea that money can do all the talking. There is sufficient manhood in Arizona to give Mir. Clark the fight of his life if he proposes to stand sponsor for Aliens high-handed acts. Did he but know it, he is invit- ing on himself and his business a con fiict that is unnecessary and foolish, and one that will not die in day.
 Arizonans have been disposed to gloss over Mir. Clark's record and career, believing him not so black as he has been painted. The press nd people generally have spoken kindly of him. Although he is taking mill lions out of our territory and spending it elsewhere, this gives him no right to dictate as to who shall represent us in Congress. Furthermore, he is a stranger, comparatively unknown, and not citizen of Arizona. The man he is seeking to defeat, through his agent, has hundred friends in the territory where Clark hasn't one. Hence it will be pretty fight if it comes off.

conditions, who seem very anxious to spread reports of a more or less sensa- tional nature concerning the Pimas.
 "As Indians the Pimas rank high. They may, however, be overestiInated. They are not too proud to ask for help, and many not needing assistance in the least will be found in the front. They have just enough of human na- ture about them to be very unwilling to labor for bread solong as they think there is any possibility to get it with out working for it. Instances are known of Indians who have received wheat from the relief fund and taken it to trading post and bartered it for other articles. The officials upon the reservation are we'll aware that the prospects are very dark at present for the Pimas by reason of the prolonged drouth.
 ''The Indian office has full cognizance of the situation as we'll. This years wheat crop is estimated to be not more than one-fifth of an average crop, and this quantity is not well distributed, , some villages having raised nothing The crop of mesquit beans is not so good as in years of more rain, yet there will be quite large quantity gathered for use us food.
 "The United States Indian agent is exercising, and will continue to exer- else, every precaution necessary to prevent suffering from the present par tial famine that exists. He will keep the Indian Department advised of the needs of these Indians under his charge. He will endeavor to give the Indians opportunities for self help by employing them upon government work and by assisting them to find employment outside the reservation. Just at present the agent dose not find the Indians very willing to work. for the simple reason they are not snffer- ing from a lack of food at present, and so long us they can get along in their old way of living, they will not try to find other means of support.
 "Let it be understood, however, that the time is not far distant when, if the drouth continues, these Indians must be fed, moved away from here, or they will starve. They are known to be an agricultural people, very indus trious in their own way, we'll acquaint- ed with the principles of irrigation, peaceful and docile. The Gila Valley is fertile and that it can be supplied with water has been demonstrated be- youd reasonable doubt. The pro- posed dam at the Buttes, above Flor euce, would make the Gila Valley a veritable paradise and provide home for the nomadic Papagoes as well. To begin this grand project and em- ploy the Indians upon the work would be wise and economical way to enable the Pimas to help themselves. This would not only be a means of tiding the Pimas through their present difi- culties, but be means of preventing repetition in years to come of the same conditions
 Behind the darkest cloud there is a silver lining" With faith that the next congress will roll this darkness away and show the people beautiful lake of water, the life-giving susten- ance, every effort practicable will be made, both by the Indians and officials, to make the best of existing condi- tions."
