brotherhood, stimulating thought
promoting discussion and arousing
new hopes and desires and fears.
Let him take warning and not at
tempt to thwart the will OF the
people by the corrupt use of money
wrung from them by the trusts and
other monopolies. The voices that
proclaim the eve Of revolution are
in the air. Every sign ofthe times
portend that we are on the verge
OF a tremendous conflict.
The new republic so graphically
described by Mr.. Bryan in his
notification speech must be the re-
suit or our civilization will be des-
troyed and we will go back to
barbarism through anarchy and
bloodshed.

British Outpost in South Africa.


Lord Roberts has issued pro
clamation annexing the Transvaa
Republic and declaring it to be
part Of the British Empire. The
Orange Free State was annexed
shortly after the fall Of Bloemion-
tein. Technically, therefore, and
as far as proclamations can bring
about such result, the Dutch re-
Dublics Of South Africa have
already ceased to exist and are
now merged into the dominions OF
her Britannia Majesty. Scarcely
a year ago Lord Salisbury stated
in speech in Parliament that the
Government oil Great Britain was
not engaged in a war Of territorial
conquest; that it was simply re-
pelling an invasion OF British
territory and enforcing respect for
the rights of the Outlanders. That
was an obvious attempt to place
the war upon high plane and to
justify an act Of criminal agpres-
sion by a mighty empire whose
victims we're two little republics
with scarcely as much native white
population-men, women and
children as the army which was
sent to su bdue them. The annex
alton OF Boer territory will make
the Dutch farmers British subjects
in name only. The memory OF the
wrongs which they have suffered
at the hands of ENGLAND will be
handed down from generation to
generation. There are many noble
pages in English history, but this
war upon the Beers is an indelible
blot upon the fair tame ofthe Brit
ish Empire. 1t was a war en-
gineered by unscrupulous politi-
clans who were inspired by the
most sordid commerciAlism and
greed oil gold and land. The time
may yet come when England will
bitterly regret the destruction Of
the Boer republics. There is
neither honor nor glory ia COM
pelling the submission of liberty
loving people with an army ten
times as great as the force arrayed
against the conqlerors. The Beers
have made noble fight against
overwhelming numbers and have
proved that the sturdy courage OF
their foreiathers has been trans
mitted from sire to son. With
anything like equality OF resources
the United States of Africa would
have been the result Of the war that
is now approaching its close. 1t
is not mercy the idealist and
dreamer who believe that in gen
erations to come the flag OF a great
Anglo-Dutch republic will float
over South Africa.

Why don't the President remove
the news censors from the Philip
pines and let the people know what
is going on there. He says the
islands are pacihed, yet through
the uncensored private correspon-
dence OF reputable citizens comes
the news that what is called kill
ings have taken the place OF bat
ties, that occasionally the Ameri.
can soldiers capture a village and
kill all Of it's inhabitan s, some
times as high as three or tour hun
dred persons and that on the other

TIE Chicago newspapers agree
that from this time on Mr.. BRYAN
will have a strong hand upon the
management OF the campaign. His
speaking dates have been arranged
so that he can be in Chicago every
week or ten days. A meeting OF
Democratic leaders from Michi-
an, Indiana, Illinois. Kansas,
Nebraska, Wisconsin and MINES.
ota was held in Chicago early in
the week, Chairman Jones being
present. 1t is understood that
Maryland, Delaware, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky will be lei
largely to their own resources and
that the National Committee will
bend their energies to the Middle
Western States just mentioned. 1t
has lately been decided to food
Indiana and one or two other
States in that region with trust
literature, as tue demand for it is
eager and the voters seem very
receptive on that subject.

CIVILIZATION or saYagery7

Dispatches fr m the seat of war
in China continue to tell OF out
RACES upon Chinese non-combat-
ants. Murder, arson, rape and
looting, if these stories are to be
believed, have followed the march
OF the allies to Pekin. The Rus
slams are specified as the chief
offenders. The French are said to
be conspicuous. The Germans
and English are declared to be at
least among the looters.
Although much oi the chronicle
OF the Chinese trouble, especially
that part Of it sent out by English
correspondents, has been unreli-
able and often wholly false, there
seems little doubt that the barbar-
tiles oil warfare have recently been
practised there in terrible form.
Il is gratifying to note that none
OF these dispatches, either doubt
iul or we'll confirmed, have men
toned the American contingent
among the offenders. General
Chafee seems to have conducted
his part of the campaign in way
truly representative OF the best
traditions OF the republic.

already to have been accomplished.

The great growth of mining busi- ess in the southeastern part of the .rritory will soon be the cause of in- easing the railway facilities over the arious short lines and the building of sveral new roads, says the Republi- III. The Arizona Copper company of lifton and Morenci has sent out sur sying party along the line of the arrow gauge road which reaches for distance of D miles from Clifton to ordsburg. and in short time will be rading and building bridges to turn
 into a standard gauge, thereby reatly increasing the capacity of the pad and bringing it into condition to 4eet the growing shipment of ore. ians arc being made to extend it from eming to Fl Paso. The Detroit Cop sr Mining company is building road
 om Guthrie to Morenc;. Work is now bout half completed and will be con
 uded within three months. connee- ons will bc built between the two ues, and big reductions made in the eavy tariff which has hitherto been 1posed by the Southern Pacific. sev- al other stub lines will be surveyed to mining countries which are now accessible. Surveyors are now sur, wing for a railroad between Magyar I'd the Crown King mine. which when .mpIeted will open one of the richest ming districts in Arizona.

Forty Years Among Cannibals.

The French adventurer who was a captive among cannibals in Central Africa for forty years, has decided to write 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 8 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 a sufferer from dyspepsia, constipation, indiges- tion, billousness, nervousness or in- somnia. Don't fail to give it trial. Ask for Hostetter's, and do not accept a substitute. The genuine has Private Revenue Stamp over the neck Of bottle.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.

Our next congressman, Hon. Mark A. Smith, arrived here Thursday and the same evening spoke at the Court House to large and interested audi ence. The Filarmonic band furnishing the music.
 After the meeting had been called to order w. ". Wilson introduced Delegate Smith whose remarks were repeatedly applauded and cheered.
 His arguments were able and con vincing and showed conclusively the difference between the two records in congress.
 The fact alone that MT. Smith se- cured an appropriation from congress of $2O.O0O for the Indian Appropria- ton bill, should be enough for any Pi- nal county voter.
 Mir. Wilson in his speech accepting the nomination two years ago, ac- knowledged that Mir. Smith could have had the nomination on the first ballot, at that time, had he not seen fit to decline, and that his popularity has increased will be fully demonstra- ted at the convention.
 It was unnecessary for the reporter to "minglc with the audience to ascer- tain their appreciation of Mir. Smiths ability and work while in congress, as their actions spoke louder than words conld possibly have done. At the conclusion of the meeting three hearty cheers were given for Delegate Smith, after which the crowd dispersed.
 The meeting was a success and Pinal county can be counted as safe for Mir Smith.

Important Surveys Made.

In an interview with the El Paso Herald, Mr. Newell chief of the hydro graphic survey says in part: .Irriga- tion is an art almost as old as the world. 1t is new to this country be- cause thie influx of population came by the Atlantic sea board instead of by the Pacific and so great areas of humid country were appropriated and settled before the arid lands were reached. When l view the progress that has been made, however, in informing the inhabitants of this humid region of the United States of the possibili- ties lying in the arid region through a great system of national irrigation, and when I see the evident interest which is being manifested by them to-day, l think that the prospects for the west to receive a full recognition in the near years of the future, are very bright and promising.
 1.-The survey which the government is carrying on along the irrigation lines throughout the arid west interest deeply not only that section of the country, but likewise many interests in the east. For their future highest development the east and the west must necessarily pull together. One country, one prosperity. No section of the country benefits that some other section does not likewise profit. Take the east and the west in broad, general sense. The cast is a great manufacturing region. Her factories are scattered about in every eastern state. They must find markets for their goods. A home market is the more preferable. The west is a great producing region. Under complete irrigation it's population and product iveness would be ten times doubled and ships of commerce would pour its pro- ducts into the Orient. But this vast western population would draw heavi- ly upon the manufacturing east for products of those same factories look ing for markets for their goods, and the gold of the Orient and the west. would go back to the eastern manu- lecturers, whose increased labor de- mands would likewise draw heavily upon the products of the eastern farmer.
 ''In no other country having an arid belt has the government done so little in the matter of irrigation develop ment. Everything in the United States has been left to individual en- terprise, and to state regulation, until in many of the western states and territories, water rights and the like have come to be in badly tangled condition. It needs the hand of the central government to adjust and con trol matters which are interstate in character and until this is done settle ment, investment and the develop ment of the country cannot but be retarded. The sooner the west in- structs it's senators and congressman to work for a system of national irri- gation, the sooner the west will reach state of highest development and production.'
