of her last effort, and. we had expect
ed that Paris would be as far ahead of
the Chicago show this time as she was
beaten by Chicago, but she is not.
In fact the Chicago exposition was a
much better show in every way than
this one is, and venture to say that
nine-tenths of the people who saw
that one and then come to Paris and
see this one will be disappointed. I
know that have .been"
The American visitor who pro-
nounced the fair failure should have
taken the same view of it as this Eng
lsh nobleman, who is one of the few
who are spending their time in sight,
seeing instead of fighting the Beers
in South Africa.
Speaking of fairs reminds me of a
pointer that I have intended giving
those who expect to visit Paris this
year. If you want to court the good
graces of the Parisians do not speak
OF the exposition as a fair, call it an
exposition. The 'Parisians have
learned to distinguish between the
two. Chicago had far, and big
one, it is admitted. but Paris has an
exposition, and expositions are in a
higher class by themselves.
No matter whether the visiting
American be disappointed or not; no
matter whether he pronounces the
Paris effort failure or success,
venture to say that he Will find many
things inside the exposition grounds
that will be interesting and instruc-
tive. He begins to see things from the
time he comes within range of the
monumental entrance to the exposi-
ton. It is we'll that the authorities
here provided the beautiful entrance
that they have, it takes much of the
curse away from the remainder of the
show. To the person who visits Paris
with the intention of making compar-
isons this entrance gives first good
impression in favor of Paris, for Chi
cago had nothing to compare with it
excepting the water entrance which
comparatively few people used. This
entrance is colossal in proportions. It
is formed of three great archways,
with an opening of over IS feet each.
They form triangle and cover more
than 29,5Ov square feet. The gates
through which visitors pass are so ar
ranged tnat 10000 persons may be ad-
mitted per hour. The artistic decora-
ton of this entrance has been secured
by the extravagant use Of mu}ticol-
ored imitation stones from which dur
ing the day the suns light is reflected
and at night the light from countless
electric lights.

grounds. They are crowded about the

said without detriment to the Paris
exposition, for while the side show

to-practically every visitor, it was but

An old man of 80 years, living but
1S miles from the business district of

of land which he has refused So 900 per

years from now will be worth double
that price. He secured the land which
will make of him rich man when he
sells it from the United States gov
ernment as a homestead claim when
Chicago could hardly be classed as even
village, and when he first settled
upon it the Indians begged food and
tobacco of him at his cabin door. The
old man still farms his laud, and says
that he will continue to 10 so as long

 soldiers of the army are subject to the control of their officers. And We will grant this. But do these people who are crying out against "militarism" and what danger there is to the United States government from the army controlled by the officers. ever take into consideration the fact that more than four-fifths of the army off cers come from that class which MT. Bryan is pleased to plagarize from Lin coin as the plain people,"

with great glee thaC the democrats hail the strike in Pennsylvania. The pros pect for higher prices for coal, io be paid by the rich and poor alike seems to be a tonic tc the democratic spirits for they figure on making political cap ical capital out of the strike in Pehn- sylvania. The general impression in the east is that It is a democratic strike originated and fostered by the demo- cratic leaders for political effect i, this presidential campaign. Of course every man who knows anything is perfectly aware that the republican party and the national administration have noth- ing whatever to do with the strike nor grievances of which the miners com pain. Every democratic orator on the stump and the democratic papers have already begun to hold the republican party responsible fer all &he ills that may grow out of this strike and which may have deplorable consequences be- before it ends. A strike inaugurated solely for political effect Is nothing short of crime.

NEW DANGER FROM BOTTLES.

It has been discovered that many of the prairie fires that have destroyed the grass on the ranges in Montana and in the western part of DakC.a have been started by the concentration of the rays of tie sun upon broken beer bottles that are scattered freely along the trails and wagon roads, which offer a new argument for the use of tenn perance folk, says an exchange. Nu- meTous fires have started far away from human haunts and habitations, miles beyond the reach of sparks from a locomotive, and farmers and ranch men have been 90 n1ystified as to their origin that several Investigations have been made. When a fire has been traced to it's source in almost every instance a broken bottle has been found with evidence around it to con vince the investigators that it was the cause of the mischief.

 Under the stars and stripes Ameri- can institutions will be introduced and American Improvements. The people will be made familiar with liberty and equal laws. Their property and per sons will be protected. Justice will pre- vail. As these institutions are estab- lished the people will be educated for the full benefits of the constitution. This scheme follows all our precedents for newly acquired territory in the past century.
 The insurrection has retarded the work and the insurrection has been fomented and kept alive by the Bryan :te policy which was adopted not in sympathy With the Filipinos. but in partisan prejudice against the admin istration. If from the first" as Sen ator Beveridge says, there had been united support of the American gov ernment in upholding the American flag in the Philippines, no bloodshed would have been necessary-no lives of American soldiers required to keep 1t floating there.''

The charge made by democratic pa per that County Recorder Sheridan had refused to appoint democrats recom- mended by the democratic central com mittee as registration officers is far fetched indeed. On the contrary, two democrats have already been appoint ed by MT. Sheridan to register voters one, Andrew Thoman, at the request of the democratic county organization, and the other, w. L. George, because of his general fitness for the place. Bu. one republican, William Doheney, has yet been selected by MT. Sheridan as a registration officer. Every justice of the peace is authorized to receive reg istrations. as is the county recorder himself. This being the case. Mir. Sher- idan has not felt that the situation de- manded further help, especially from democrats.

We now send abroad about sSO.OOO,OOO annually for rubber. If all of this can be pro- duced in our own dominions, besides sending an equal amount to foreign na- tlons, so much the better for the United that there should be no ''scuttling" pol icy in the Philippines.

 The copperheads say, why not give the Philippines their independence, just as we give it to Cuba? Senator Bev- eridge says, better for Cuba to remain under the stars and stripes, and some day she will come back to 1t, and full fill Jefferson's dream. Cuba can, how ever, set up an imperfect self govern ment. for there are many bonds of unity in the population, all speaking the same tongue, all practically of the same religion, using the same customs of life and habituated to the same political conditions. In the Philippines it is all the opposite.

The bstting so far has been altogether in favor of Me Kinley's election. Odds of two to one are freely offered, with but few takers. So far Boss Croker is the only democrat of prominence to take the Bryan end In any considerable amount, and as he Is In control of the immense sum Tam many Is raising for the campaign in New York city, his action is easy of comprehension. Here in Arizona the betting is all one way-the Bryan men want big odds.
 Desiring statehood as the people of Arizona do, their only reasonable ac- ton In this campaign can be to work and vote for N. O. Murphy for delegate to congress. It is conceded that MT. Murphy made first-class representa- tive during the two years he occupied a seat in congress. There was not more popular man in Washington than he. AriZona's interests were well guarded by him, and if elected this fall he will be a tower Of strength in tha next congress for he will be among his friends and will be able to present the unimpeachable evidence that Ari- zona is in line with eastern republican sentiment and entitled to its consider ation. A vote for MT. Murphy in No vember will be a vote for statehood. Republicans should keep hammering this fact into the voters of Arizona.
