By strict att ,ention to business he has succeeded in building up a house which in it's line is far and widely known as one of the best and most reliable in Southern Arizona. Giving to the public business the same care and attention to details which has made his own so successful MT. Hogan will unite with Mir. Tener in giving the people safe, careful and eco- nomical administration, which is just what Santa Cruz county needs. Now one more such republican and business man as the two who are announced, is wanted as a can- didate. THE OASIS suggests MT. John Lyle, of Gro Blanco; K. K. Richardson, of Patagonia or Geo. W.

ga Desperate Came"

Under this head the New York Sun
day Sun fully verifes our allegation
that the great coal strike now on is in
cited and engineered by the Democratic
leaders as forlorn hope, last resort
in their gigantic effort to humbug the
American people. The Sun says:
1.-THE anthracite coal strike, to great ex
tent, doubtless, is Democratic device for
bringing about the calamity which the Bry-
an prophets of 1896 predicted in vain. 1t
is political blow at the prosperity and in
dustrial contentment which have made the
Bryanistic appeals for support sounding
absurdities.
AS disaster refused to follow Mckinley g

precede election day in 1900, or his re.elec-
ton is sure.

"Later and Better"

The best illustration of the difficult
ties in the way of the Democratic at.
tempt to extract consolation from the
Vermont election is given by Hon.
Hugh Henry of Chester, pension agent
for Vermont and New Hampshire, in
a letter to the Concord Monitor. 1t is
a gem, and is as follows:
"The attempt Of your neighbor, the Peo-
pie and Patriot, to extract Democratic con-
ISOLATION out OF the result OF Vermont's
election last Tuesday, when the Republi-
can plurality increased 5000 over that of
two years ago and exceeded by 1000 or over

about 1000 gold Democrats voted with US,

Barre, S4.45 from Mortified, 1886 from
Waterbury, with cOrrespoudiugly low rates
elusive Ottawa, apart from being the seat
of government of the Dominion of Canada,
offers many attractions. The national
buildings as they stand so prominently on
Parliament Hill, will always be the main
feature of interest. Ottawa has a number
of handsome parks, possessing almost
matchless natural scenery. An excellent
electric railway service is main aimed be-
tween the parks, where band concerts are
given every evening. Ottawa is one OF the
largest lumber markets in the world; IL is
situated on the Ottawa river and r dean
canal. and has a population OF about $1,000
Inhabitants.
The route will be via Swanton aud Cana
da Atlantic railway, or via st. Johns
Grand Trunk railway and Coteau Junction,
passing over the new steel bridge over a
mile in length at Coteau, spanning the ST..

Candidate Stanchfleld,

The Democrats of the Empire State
did not nominate Comptroller Bird S.
Coler as their candidate for Governor.
No one familiar with the political stu
alton in New York believed they would.
Tammany, in the person of Richard
Croker, dominates Democratic politics
in New York, and Coler was the last
person in the State Croker wanted
nominated. Moreover, David B. Hill
wanted Coler nominated, and that was
another reason why Croker did not
want him and would not have him.
The nominee, John B. Stanchfeld
of Emira, was formerly law partner
of David B. Hill, but long since dis
solved his personal allegiance to that
chieftain. The New York Sun des-
cribes him as "a foxy jury lawyer, and
good fellow personally, who has the
advantage of looking younger than he
is" In 1896 he radically opposed
Bryan and the whole Chicago platform.
In his speeches since that time, when
it became clear the Organism had be-
come Democracy, he took his stand
with Bryan and is allied with him in an
alliance that is not unlike that in which
PLATE and Herod were once made
friends.
Mr.. Stanchfield is on record as op
posed both to Mr.. Bryan's financial
theories, and particularly to his views
on the acquisition and government OF
the new territory the United States hat
acquired from Spain. No Republican
is more stout imperialist than he hal
been. In proof of this fact the New
York Sun republishes the subjoinet
extract from speech made by Mr.
Stanchfield at dinner at Delmonicos
on certain occasion, on the evening o
Feby. II, 1899:
/ am just enough of Democrat to TAX
the floor and be on its equality. On the 9th

We have repeated them time and again,

cusSOn Of the merits of The C &c at this
lime, therefore, IS rs uuuecessar, as q
discussion Of the right or wrong of The
lxecuLion OF John Brown.
We have not tho slightest objection
to referendum, or any serious doubt
rs to its result. We believe that with
a sober and careful consideration of the
subject in all it's bearings majority OF
the people of Vermont would vote to
retain the present law. Under our
peculiar system of town presentation
it is possible that general assembly
may be elected which will coutan a
majority in favor of local option. L. is
barely possible that that condition al
ready exists, but We will continue TO
doubt it until such a 70 e is declared.
With confidence in the better judg-
mept of The people of Vermont, We
believe that popular vote today would
result in retaining the principle of pro-
hibidon. For this reason we do not
believe that a majority Of the people
would uphold and endorse the coming
Legislature in repeating the present
law, even allowing that the enemies of
the law had the votes to do it.
Therefore and finally, let the refer
endum come. Having faith in he st
judgment OF the people and in tho
righteousness OF the principle Of the
prohibition of disaster, crime aud mis-
cry, we have no reason to be apprehen-
sive of carefully considered verdict.

Let 1t Come.

The st. Albans Messenger, in clos
ing lengthy editorial discussion Of
proposed liquor legislation, says:
"Let us settle this question and settle it
emphatically. Let us find out whether the
majority of the people of Vermont are in
favor of prohibition or whether they are not,
and, when we have ascertained the will OF
the people, let rs make the law they want
and enforce It,"
This apparently assumes that ma.
jority of the people of Vermont no
longer want prohibitory law. This is
like the Scotch verdict, not proven
We will not present any arguments as

Theodore Roosevelt writes a trench
ent letter accepting the nomination TO
the vice presidency. The letter is
shorter than that of his chief on the
Republican ticket, but it is marked by
the writer's customary incisiveness in
discussion and in the statement of a
political proposition. There is no ''im-
perialsm" or "militarism" involved .,
he says, in the present development of
that policy of expansion which has
been part of the history of America
from the day when she became ma
tion, pa statement which Gov. Roose-
welt sustains by reference to the coun-
try's history. He concludes with the
declaration that "we must continue to
put at the head of affairs in the differ
ent islands such men as General Wood,
Governor Allen and Judge Taft" and
esteemB it ga fortunate thing that we
are able to illustrate what ought to be
done in the way of sending officers
hither by pointing out what actually
has been done" To turn over the
Philippine islands to Aguinaldo and
his followers would not be to give self
government to the islands; under no
circumstances would the majority thus
gain self government. 1t would be
government by syndicate of Chinese
half breeds, more corrupt than the
Tweed regime of malodorous memory.

Organization OF the Legislature.

ton of a new Legislature always at
taches to the choice of speaker of
the House of Representatives. The
speaker is an official of greater power,
in his influence upon legislation, than
any other legislative or any State Off
GER In the makeup of the committees
the issues of legislation, in a large
measure-are in his hands. The course
of law making is Immediately within
his control and dependent very largely
upon his capacity for the intelligent
and orderly dispatch of business.
The desirability of the office, as @

personal honor, was exempli6ed by the
circumstance that candidates began to
be heralded, not merely before the
Legislature had been elected, but many
months before the day Of election, or
people had begun to think Of the Sep
TENDER election. In midwinter the
Herald and News o Randolph an
nounced the candidacy of Curtis S EN-
ory of Chelsea. In midsummer Fetch
or D. Proctor of Proctor entered the
arena. Later on the name of Franklin
ID. Hale of Lunenburg was mentioned
in connection with the Office and there
were scattering reports of other posi-
bic contestants.
AT the present time there is but one
recognized candidacy, that of Col.
Proctor. In the past twenty-four years
the speskership has been held eighteen
years by men from the east side.
Among other considerations this cir
cumstance has had it's effect in winnow-
ing out contestants and in leaving the
field to the one representative from the
west side. Among Republicans Col.
Proctor has no competition for the high
honors and weighty responsibilities Of
tie presiding officer of the House. Col
Proctor has served in both branches of
the General Assembly. He has there
fore practical familiarity with the brs-
mess of legislation in all its depart
ments. He has wide acquaintance
with the men OF Vermont. He has a
large experience in important business
affairs. He has all the equipment for
the speakership except such as is de-
rived from actual service in the Of
fee, and as a man without this special
qualification has to be taken, in COM
parison with other aspirants Col. Proc
tor was at no disadvantage in this res
pect. So, as the smoke lifted from the
field after election and it was known
who were the chosen of the people, the
speal ership contest was predetermined
in favor of the westside candidate.
Thomas G. Cheney of Morrisville
has had large experience in the office
of clerk of the House. He had served
as assistant clerk and in 1898 was
elected to the chief Office. He has
performed all the duties of the office,
as assistant and as chief, with practi-
cal efficiency and with entire accep-
lance to the body whose recording
officer he has been, and that he will be
reelected is subject only to contingent
cies that are not customarly taken into
consideration in shaping human af-
fairs.
In the Senate, the lieutenant gov
ernor, by virtue of that office, is presi-
dent of the Senate The elective Of
fee of chief interest or Importance is
that of secretary. Max L. Powell of
Burlington, by virtue of native ability
and unusual aptitude, reinforced by
practical experience in the office, is
without competitor, so far as the
JOURNAL is now informed, as the
chief official scribe of the Senate.
The Legislature, thus differed in its
chief executive and clerical offices,
ought TO take up the important work
of the session with energy and carry it
forward to its completion with due
dispatch.
