WHY TOMBSTONE QUIT
An Explanation Which Gives the Lie
 to the Democratic spellbindsrs.

The democrats have had much to say about the fall" of Tombstone. and have charged the dccadence of that once famous camp to the republican party. Listen to the truth from the Cochise Review:
 Tn BiSbee the other night, demo- cratic pilgrim spellbinders overshot the mark in the virulence of their antago- nism to the party of prosperity, patri- Otism and progress. The principal song they sung was that the mines of Tomb stone had been closed by the "demone- tizatiOn of silver and sought to fasten on the republican party all blame for the idle stamps in the mills of this county. The democratic speakers. 10 put it mildly, erred. It is possible they intended no prevarication. Maybe they knew no better Possibly they sought to pull the wool over the eyes of the sturdy miner and then iriitate him by a recital of things that were not. But in the audience at the demo- cratic meeting were scores of men who could have corrected the blatant ora tor. Hundreds there are in Bisbee. pio- O lN why the Tombstone mines closed. for when they closed the greater number of the skillful miners came here, across the range. Let them be asked the question and they will tell you that the Contention and Grand Central shut down when silver sold for $1.0S an ounce, in December. 1884. Now. s1.0S isn't exactly decentralization" is it?
 The truth. plain and simple, is that the ore in the Tombstone mines above water level had been worked out Chlo- riders have found slender pickings in the upper levels since that time. The mines closed when the Contention got tired of doing the pumping for the en- tire camp. In the midst of negotia- tiOns looking toward mutual action for the pumping of all the properties. the Grand Central works burned down. Later the Contention plant also went up in flames. It was too severe blow. So the camp quit. But ] the owners didn't blame their misfortune to "siX- tean-t -tO-One." It was a tough proposi tiOn to tackle a flow of water that raised fifty feet in a shaft while the big pump made a twenty minute stop for repairs. There is plenty of good gold silver ore below the water level in the Tombstone mines. The camp is bound to arise again in added strength. The other day F. B. Gage and Frank M. Murphy visited Tombstone and closely investigated the conditions. Both are keen business men and, incidentally, strong republicans. They are consid- ering the advisability of forming a heavily capitalized syndicate to take over all the Tombstone mines. to drain them by the most improved modern methods and to take out the silver and gold of the lower levels But you heard nothing of this from the democratic orators"

THOSE YAVAPAI BONDS

The principal song of the democratic siren these days is 'Yavapai bonds
 It is a tough proposition that Yavapai has to pay large sum of money but other people have been made to pay just obligations before, despite the fact their pocket books were not of the plethoric kind. But to try to fasten the onus of the transaction on Cover nor Murphy is mere fiim-fam The ratification of the funding act was done in the Sixteenth legislature, which con- tained twice as many democrats as re- publicans. Among the democrats in that body were included the followin all leading lights in the councils of the party: Fred G. Hughes, Foster S. Dennis. Harris Baldwin, Peter R. Brady, eX-Governor C. Meyer Zulick, John c. Herndon, E. J. Simpson, Thomas E. Parish, J. H. Tevis, Mari ano G. Samaniego, Fred w. Heyne, J. w. Dougherty, J. J. Fisher, Gus Hoff and l.. H. Chalmers. They assented as a body and individually to the law their party now assails. Yet there could hardly be compiled a fuller list of the leading democrats of that day. The board of supervisors of Yavapai county applied for the funding of the old per cent bonds into the new per cents and Were sustained by the best element in Yavapai county. The same action had been taken already in Mari copa county, where the bonds of the Marcopa and Phoenix railway were in identically the same position. There was possibility, had the matter been taken to the highest courts, that the authority of ben counties for the issu- ance of the bonds might have been de- clared lilly based, though the lower courts have sustained their legality But had it have been done. by virtue of any technicality of law, it would have been nothing short of repudiation of debts justly contracted and justly owed. At this date there may be doubts about the public policy of sub sidies. They are, assuredly, not popu- lar with the people at large at the pres- ent time. Yet the fact is known that, only a few years ago. hardly a railroad was built without federal or local aid, in cash or in land. The country is be- lieved to have passed the stage whera such measures are necessary to secure the development of the west, yet it must be conceded that they were valu- able aids in days past.
 Ths whole agitation over the bonds today is merely a political pay" On one side are court decisions and the opinions of the best lawyers in the southwest; on the other mouthings of men who seek office by any laddsr they may find. It is not a partisan matter. The act of congress that sustained the

The democratic reply to our state ment regarding the attempted trust
 Legislation at Washing
 STATES ton last June is that the
 RIGHTS doctrine of \ states WON'T DO. rights" was imperilled
 by the proposed amend ment to the constitution. This has a familiar ring. We do not need to refer to the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars and over a million of lives were spent in the dissipation of this theory. The republican leaders in con- gress foresaw that the democrats would seek to hide behind the bugabOo of states rights and therefore they in serted the provision in section of the proposed law which declared that ''the several states may continue to exercise such power in a manner not in conflict with the laws of the United States"
 This concession to an exploded idea was really more than the republicans were warranted in making, but as we have said they appreciated the situa- tion and were determined to leave no foundation for democratic opposition. Yet the democrats declined to accept it. and went on record. in sufficient force to defeat the measure. as favor ing the continuation of the trusts.
 Loudly as they had talked, when it came to the vote they fell in line with Bryans declaration at the Chicago conference-"We have not met here to destroy the trusts" The facts are all against the eleventh hour declaration of our democratic friends that the states rights" idea prevented demo- cratic acquiesence with the republican plan of curbing the trusts. The repuo- licans were sincere; the democrats were insincere, and as a result there is as yet no legislation equal to the har- messing of the trusts. The republicans have shown their willingness to bring about the needed legislation in this di- rection. When the democrats conclude to join forces with the republicans the trust problem will be well solved

TWO OF A KIND

It was in conformity with the eter- nal fitness of things that Rochester Ford and Mark Smith should appear and speak jointly at the same meeting for it is well known that for six years Mark Smith was understood to be the in Washington. while Rochester Ford was fighting for the grants in Arizona. It was more than once charged against Smith, and never denied, that he was under pay from land grant owners. It is q fact of record that Smith fought the creation of the land court; that when the congressional committee re- ported unanimously Tn its favor Smith, their delegate in congress, insisted upon and had Arizona stricken from the Dill. At the next session of con- Sress when an amendment was ordered to again include Arizona Smith op- posed 1t; but Arizona was included not withstanding his objections, and the land court, then and there created re- gardless of Mark Smiths objection and Rochester Ford's opposition as the land grant lawyer. has settled every land grant title in Arizona It was an anus ing spectacle to see these two land grant statesmen CD on the stage shouting for honesty. when if they could have had their way the land court would not have been created and the land grant barons would still be oc- cupying the lands now enjoyed by thousands of people.
 The Peralta fraud which the court smashed would still be a cloud op the lands of Maricopa, Gila, Graham, Pima. Santa Cruz and Cochise counties, and these county lands would still have been covered with fraudulent land grant titles. Phoenix. Nogales, and other settlements would still be under the cloud of uncertain titles and the lands of Salt River, Gila, Santa Cruz and the San Pedro valleys would suffer the same way. Smith and Ford are nice men to call into question the honesty of others.-Tucson Citizen.

TO FOOL THE PEOPLE.

Down with trusts!" shouts Bryan, and his shout is echoed by the Tamrna- invites, who constitute the ice trust of New York, and by Chairman of the National Democratic Committee Jones, of the cotton trust. The shout is sole ly to fool the people. as not a single one of them, even Bryan himself. is sincere, as they admit that the general government has no authority to inter f. re in the matter, and the democrats in congress defeated a resolution pro- viding for a constitutional amendment whereby trusts would be placed under control of the general government.- Journal Miner

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

The election of a delegate to con- gress is more question of busine ess
 han of politics this year. It is a ques- ton of vital importance to the terri tory. With the reelection of McKin- ley, which even the d mocrats now practically conc=de, there is a chance for our admission as a state. It has been the history of every territory that as soon as admitted to stat hood capi- tai has been attracted to it, and it's de- ve!orment and progress has been rap i'd. With the election of a republican delegate and th= re-election of Presi- dent Mckinley. an enabling act would probably be passed during the coming winter, in which event Gov. Murphy would probably never take his seat III congress. In his speech on Tuesday night he said he would prefer this tn being elected and then serve under a territorial form Of government.
 Another very important point. and one which more directly affects this county but indirectly the whole terri tory, is the regarrisoning of Whfpcls barracks. While the order for rehab- ilitating it has never been revoked. it Will take work yet to secure its being carried out. and every impartial man will concede thait Governor Murphy can do more towards doing this than any other individual Arizona can send there. For this reason alone Yavapai should give, him majority of 1.2OO.
 Republicans, business men. demo- crats who place the good of the terri tory ahead of politics, arouse, bestir yourselves, and from now until the day of election put in your best efforts for the election of N. O. Murphy.-Jour- nal Miner.

DO YOU WANT STATEHOOD?

According to every unbiase1 rJpGr, that has come from every part of the union, the election of William McKin- ley is sure. The New York Herald ia last to give authentic evidence of this fact. The Herald is an independent paper. It has no axes to grind on eith- CT side. It would tell the truth even iS the truth We're unpalatable to the management of the great journal It has made a canvass of the entire coun- try and the result is: Mckinley. 2sl electoral votes; Bryan 166. The bet ting in the centers of population runs as high as five to one on Mckinley. It is probable that Bryan will not carry even his own state. The peopls are satisfied with the past four years of progress; they cannot understand the brand of patriotism that would surre,, .. der any pat of the nations domain to a horde of savages, comparable only to the Apaches who once devastated this part of the west; they stand against Humiliation at home and abroad and against the degradation of the flag. Mckinley Is going to be elected, and by much larger majority than he re- ceivei four years ago. Back of him will be publican congress.
 What is Arizona going to do? Is she going tC get into the procession. or is she going to suIkand ruin her own pros poets i9 an enieavor to pique the rest of the nation? Would statehood be gained by defiance of thz voiced will of the nation? We w0t nos. If statehood be wanted the best thing for Arizona to

Nugent of Yuma, Bernard. Fin ley and Samaniego of Pima, Skinner of Graham and Peterson of MaricDpa.

It Is conceded that the men who make practice of betting on campaign
 issues are usually well
 A BUSI- posted concerning the NESS PROP political situation. For

 tified. with bets at 5 to l on Mckinley being made in New York and other eastern centers, in assuming that Mckinley will win by such tre- mendous majority over Bryan that the latter will feel as Greeley did after the election in 1872. Not only will McKin- will be safely republican. Every state which a month ago was considered doubtful Is now regarded as surely re- publican, and as election day aD- breaches the figures supplied by the experts at national headquarters con- stantly grow larger. Bryan will be in luck if he secures three sl.atts north of Mason's and Dixon's line. The peo- pie are thoroughly aroused to the ne- csssity of giving Organism it's quietus and the job will be done in the most effective manner
 Conditions being what they are. the people of Arizona should look upon the coming election with purely business eyes. What would 1t avail the terri tory to fly in the face of the national verdict and thus bar the way to state hood? As a people we are agreed that statehood Is of prime importance. It will bring with it confidence in our in- stitutions, and a train of population and wealth will follow In its wake. This has been the experience of all the commonWealths In the west that have been admitted in the last ten years. and there is no reason why Arizona should prove an exception.
 The only reasonable action of Ari- zona voters in this campaign can be to work and vote for N. O. Murphy for delsg gate to congress. There was not a more popular man in Washington than he during his service thsre. Arizona's interests were well guard tu Uy HlIH dHu II eI-ClSu lHlS ldll he will be a tower of strength in the next congress, for he will be among his friends and he will be able to offer unimpeachable evidence that Arizona is In line with eastern sentiment and entitled to it's consideration.

If the republican party is given four more years of power the trusts will be so strongly entrenched. that it will re- quire almost revolution at the polls to dis,odge them.-Arizona Bulletin.
 The fact is indisputable that. the rulings of the supreme court having shown that as the constitution now stands congress can only regulate trusts engaged in interstate commerce, an amendment to the constitution is necessary to enable congress to deal efectCally with the trust question. The republicans last June introduced an amendment which covered the ques- tion thoroughly. The vote stood 14S republicans for and 13O democrats against. Needing a two-thirds vote it was defeated solely by the democrats. This is history and We supply it to the Bulletin in the hope that it will be useful

Some out and out free traders have consistently objected to such protection
 as Bryan now has on BRYAN'S his book, ''The First PROTBC- Battle" The American

 on protecting the work of the head as well as of the hands. Hence MT. Bryan's book is protected by copyright. His protection is much more thorough than any that manu- facturer enjoys, for he has in fact a complete monopoly-a regular book trust-and no one cal compete with him at any price. Getting rich off this monopoly, he has the audacity to insist on stripping protection away from other people who are in fact not half as well protected as he. Ingratitude is despicable fault
