hired a hall, and Wilson's faction, ditto. Later both committees came together and after very heated and animated session, both combines came to the political center of gravity and sealed their disapproval of the scheme by muzzling both candidates. and em- phatically refused to each the right of free speech. Great interest was manifested in the deliberations of the joint committee, and when the decision was given out, the action was sustained by democrats generally. Colonel Wilson immedi- ately left the town, going to Winslow, while Mark Smith in a private con veyance went to Oak creek on a fish ing excursion. The sentiment of dem Ocrats in COconinO is now in favor of rebuking the twins still further and an open endorsement of Governor Murphy is very probable.
 A dispatch from Williams of Satur- day gives another account of the Will son-Smith head end collision in that town. Here it Is: The minstrel show billed to perform for the benefit of the Galveston sufferers was forced to postpone the engagement and crowds focked to the opera house. Wilson headings small army of retainers had forced an entrance against Smiths commando, delegated to hold forth there. It was a brilliant coup and landed Wilson on the stage where he wound himself into fury and at last thoroughly exhausted, nestled in an alcove on the stage to listen to Smith who had also dragged himself into the arena.
 Wilson announced himself as the regular candidate and cited Cushings manual in support of his assertions. Smith claimed the same distinction and warmly accused Wilson of con spring with Gov. Murphy for the dis ruption of the democracy
 Smith was angered because Wilson made a proposition to ''toss a coin, and he ranted in a furious manner un- til Ellinwood admonished him to pro ceed cautiously.
 The Smith and Wilson factions clashed repeatedly at the depot and the opera house, but although many had feelings hurt no blood was spilled.

Another transaction of Saturday that carries with it especial signif- canoe in the commercial rating of Prescott, is the purchase by J. w.
 Wilson of the old Kelly x Stephens corner of 120 feet square. Mir. Will son is a tried and true" townsman and so firmly has he been linked to Prescott and Is now for that matter, that he has concluded to drive down and deep the last stake and go into camp in Prescott for good. He states that he will cover the new purchase with a substantial brick and occupy the corner for his own business pur- suits. The work will be commenced at once all along both streets. Taken in all, these latest deals in real estate transfers carry for this city great weight, as the two most desirable corners of the city close two of its biggest gaps. In short, it indicates the way the wind blows. With new Montezuma street a solid block, the new Burke already looming" up in majestic form, the Wilson corner filled in, the Richards building at

AN EXCELLENT MEETING !
Republican County Candidates Have a Clean and Enthusiastic Meeting
 at Mayer on Saturday.

One of the signal political meetings of the republican county candidates took place at Mayer on Saturday evening, the event being conducted under the direction of the Mckinley Roosevelt club. An excursion train on the P. & E. road induced over one hundred to go from Prescott and Hu ron, as many more ladies dressed in their incest and neatest for the dance. came from all immediate surroundings while from every nook and corner in and around Mayer centered many to participate. Wisely and to vary the mOnOtony of political doings the cele- brated Aitken orchestra of eight pieces was secured for dancing. This made an agreeable combination for an even- ing of instruction and pleasure, and if Ar. Emmert, the assistant to the president of the road, had permitted his watch to be turned back a few more times, there might have been real Sunday service with sacIed mu- sicat the regulation hour. All in all the gathering was successful one and the candidates may feel pleased over the reception given them and their cause.
 George E. Brown was unanimously chosen chairman of the meeting and in a thirty minute speech drove a number of sledge hammer blows into the solar plexis of the enemy. He showed up in a clear and comprehen- sive manner the false and unjust man. ner in which Governor Murphy has been assailed by the democrats for political gain. He was loudly ap- plauded which was a splended index as to the feeling of gratitude the peo- pie in that community have for what r. N. and \. 0. Murphy have done for them and the whole county and territory.
 He was followed by short addresses from nearly all the county republican nominees who modestly presented their claims to the franchise of the voters.

NEWS. NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Coal operators have posted a notice for an advance of ten per cent in miners wages and it is thought the big strike will be called of. Admiral Kempff telegraphs that there is no truth in the unfavorable reports concerning the Villabolos or her crew. A Manila paper of Sept 8 published the false reports. The Vil- labolOs is the American gunboat re- gently reported lost.
 Emperor William has pardoned German-American named Schuh, in Kehl, who, after twenty years ab- sence, had visited his relatives and been sentenced to six months impris- onment for cOntravening the army regulations.
 The mosquito fleet, built for the United States customs service in Gu ban waters, has sailed from Philadel- phia. The five boats carry rapid fir ing guns and will be divided for use in the different Cuban ports.
 The supreme court of Nebraska has denied the petition of the attorney general of that state to compel the production by the Standard Oil com pany of its books and papers. The court decides that the action was pre- maturely brought.
 President Diaz, of Mexico, has ex- pressed his intention of visiting the scene of the military campaign that is being waged by the government troops against the Maya Indians in Yucatan, with a view of adopting further measures looking to an early suppression of the unconquered In dians.
 Nearly 2000 prehistoric skeletons were discovered in Galevstcn just previous to the great storm which wrecked the city. Apparently city in prehistoric times was engulfed on the spot on which Galveston stands a fact which at least shows the Gal vestOnians of today fared somewhat better than their predecessors.
 A New York paper says that con servative estimate of the total amount of relief sent to Johnstown, Pa, after the great food at that place, was s. 100000. The loss at Galveston was undoubtedly much larger than at JOhnstOwn. There is no danger that the contributions for the Texas city will be too great.
 Lord Roberts telegraphs from Pre- toria that a convoy of twenty-two wagons, escorted by sixty men, was attacked by 140 Boers October l near De Jaggers Drift on the way to Vry- held. Twelve escaped. The fate of the others is not known. The BOers derailed a train near Pan yesterday evening. Five COldstream Guards were killed and nineteen injured"
 4 New York telegram says that the sugar market Is demOralized. The American company reduced prices of refined forty points. Arbuckle Bros. reduced their list prices 20 points. It is rumored that other independent re- liners are making reductions of p per cent The American company made the first reduction of 15 points, fol- lowed by Arbuckle at 20 points, which caused the American company to make an additional reduction of 9 points. Late in the afternoon the Arbuckle company made another re- ductiOn of 10 points.

A Shooting School Teacher.

UniOnville, Mo-, Oct. 3.-This city was the scene of a tragedy this fore noon. Ollie Magee, a school teacher, living near Graysville, this county, was followed into a restaurant by Roy Bennett and Ed. Hargrave, who were after his scalp for some imaginary wrong. They began throwing dishes at Magee, who ran to the dining room in the rear, followed by his assailants. Magee fired three shots, one of which struck Bennett in the stomach, pass ing through the intestines. There Is little hope of Bennett's recovery. Magee and Hargraye are under ar

He said: "You shall not toss Mankind upon a cross
 Of shining gold" ''Nor press his brow with thorns, Nor tread upon his corns
 When he is old" He said: "No fires will burn, No wheels, no spindles turn,
 Without my hand Is at the nations helm; Dictator of the realm
 Chief of the band" He said: "The metal white Is strictly in the fight
 q lugged in). We're on free silver beat, Without the worlds consent
 And it will win" The voters heard him shout, Then straightway went about
 To give him fits; They said: "We want no stuff Half money and half bluff,
 A dollar worth four bits" It took his breath away When the people had their say
 In N-O-V. But he's got his second wind, Thinks he'll not again be skinned;
 Wait and see.

STAND UP FOR CAPITAL AND EN- COURAGE IT WHEN IT SEEKS IN- VESTMENT.--FoSTER HOME EN- N TERPRISES AND IF AN EVIL EXISTS MN THEM SEEK REDRESS IN CHAM NELS OF 4 HIGHER ORDER THAN
 PERSONAL SPLEEN.
There is No Distinction in Capital. It is Kindred in its Aims and Should be Accorded a Fair and Earn
 est Welcome.

In community the size of Prescott 1t seems unreasona- ble that there should exist in its limited avenues of wealth and population but one absolutely necessary evil. In the same strain 1t seems per plexing likewise to pause and reflect that of the many hu- man ills Prescott and Yavapai county have been face to face with from the beginning, Is encompassed in the Murphy Brothers-Frank and Oakes solely and exclusively. For a decade every move made by either of these men, whether 1t be of a political or industrial character has met with the condemnation of the Courier in such villainous and scurril- ous terms, in either open abuse or cowardly silence, as to be. branded as heinous and un- just. In a word the under handed work of this cancerous and demagogic sheet has been to assail and break, to wreck and ruin, and no corner or mercy whatever has 1t shown either of them personally or their interests or the interests of the country to which they are attached and which also they have been endeavoring to bring up to the plane of the greatest good to the greatest number.
 Today the candidacy of N. O. Murphy for congress Is es- pecially assailed and abused, while Ill the sphere Of its com mercial existence the railroad Is yet permitted to bear the odium of its scum and viii lainly. In a nutshell the sun never shines on either of the above men or their interests; blackguardism rules and ruin must wreck them.

The history of the s. F. P. & P. is the history of a new era in Yavapai. Without ti Jerome, Congress, the Octave, the Crowned King, and scores of other established mining centers would have frittered away in decay. The road is now projected to the Brad shaws, and 1t IS also stated that a branch line to the Hill side IS now under considera- ton in the Prescott offices of this company. With these i'll operation Prescott will be a commercial pivot and reap ac- cordingly. We believe in the railroad more than any other developer, and the progress of Yavapai and the stability and confidence of Prescott and her interests relegates the silurian journalist as a calamity how Ter and wild alarmist of the first water.

In line with the harangue of the Courier and its open
 hostility to capital, and the masked battery 1t is muzzled with III refusing to counte- nance any good to result from any act of the Murphy boys either official or otherwise we desire to state that the can date for congress, if elected, will do more to redeem the
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1900-10-10

fallacious impressions of the folly of the past in Arizona and place 1t in a better light for the investment of capital than could be consistently urged by any other candidate. Moreover we believe the right ful and logical channel to as sist recognition among the wealthy is through the gate way of statehood. With such change from vassalage the mining interests will prosper and rank as the foremost. The scores of miners who to- day are nestled to the gulches and peaks of our mountains in an idolatry and fascination no one but themselves can know or feel as they hang on to and nurse their prospects, will feel and know of the change. Commercial channels, here as elsewhere when once underline statehood regime, will be stim- ulated and prosper according ly. In short we believe Ill capital and any combination or element of such a character be 1t democratic or otherwise i'll its individual make up that will assist i'll our development.

AN OFFICIAL
 CLINCHER
THE BOND POODLE" QUESTION OF YAVAPAl AND HOW IT WAS HAND- LED AND CONSIDERED BY A FAIR AND JUST CONSTITUENCY.

We believe the people of Arizona, and profoundly so the people of Yav- apai, are entitled to know the relation of Governor Murphy to the bond case that is now so viciously and mreas- onably being Haunted in the face of the voter. The question is candidlya legislative one, and is clean and clear outside the vale of personal or pOliti- cal channels. In justice to the re publican nominee for congress, or for that matter any individual, the official record on the matter is printed below to guide the voter honestly and fear lessly. Here is the document:

The history of the s. F. P. & P. is familiar. It is chap ter of the survival of the fit test of energy and intelli- gence triumphing; of the shov- ing aside of the old for the new; of developing and reach ing our resources rather than decaying and smouldering the life out of them in idleness and despair; of more than this, the building up of a gateway the country has been piteous- ly and earnestly calling for from the day of the fabulous wealth of Weaver to the won- derful riches of the United Verde. It Is the same old old story again today. The Brad shaws on the south and the Santa Maria on the east are just as eager today to receive the benefits of a "taxless toot" as were the generous and lov- al in this section imbued with the spirit of progress and pros perity way down i'll the dark era. The building of this railroad under a tax emption clausewas strictly and emphat- ically an industrial proposition and the intention of its promo ters-and F. NJ. Murphy and Governor Murphy in particu- lar-was to carry out the ob- jects demanded of 1t, namely a release from industrial bond age and commercial inactivity that was driving men with their blankets and their inte- rests out of the country on every trail. If the Courier in its dyspeptic rage must as sail individual integrity on the this railroad question, 1t must also rebuke the democratic members who openly assisted by their votes III accomplish ing that face to face with us. Will 1t do 1t? Or dare it ad- vance all argument that dem- ocratic principles are retro gative? If 1t does neither, its continuation of a socalled tax less logic is personal hatred and scum, in either a political or a financial balance.

Frank Wright, of the Prescott Flee tric Light and Telephone company, received yesterday five carloads of poles which are being mloaded at the company's works in West Prescott where they will be painted and put in shape to support the wires of the improved system of telephones and electric lights which Mir. Wright pro poses furnishing the patrons of the company. Most of the poles are in tended for Gurley and Montezuma streets and will be as fine in appear ance as any ever placed in the streets of Prescott. They are sixty feet long and capable of supporting large num- Der of wires. Mir. Wright has faith in future of Prescott and is investing the money he made here in improvements which will give the new city better ser vice in electric lighting and telephone arrangements than any other place in the territory. Progressive citizens like Mir. Wright are the kind Prescott needs to hurry it to the front.
 The enterprise of which Mir. Wright is the head of, is deserving of special recognition, and should be fostered as a home enterprise to the letter. We believe in home institutions from top to bottom, and believe in showing aside the foreign and nomadic concerns who take everything away and give nothing back.

Whether Mr.. McKinley's part
nership with Ii Hung Chang
is to be permanent or is merely to
be used to try to postpone the
action Of the powers Of China, I'M
til after the election, is question
of much interest just now. 1t is
significant that just before the adj
ministration decided to practically
sever its connection with the allied
powers in China, Mr.. Mckinley
had a long private conference with
Ex-S Secretary Of State John W.
Foster, who was LII Hung Chang's
attorney and advisor when that
shifty and crafty chap was nego-
tiating for peace with Japan who
is believed to be acting in the same
capacity now. Mr.. McKinley's de-
cision that the American troops
should, with the exception of a
heavy legationE guard, be at once
withdrawn from China, had a dou-
BILE purpose. 1t was a concession
to that portion Of public opinion
which has been asking why they
were, not withdrawn ever since Pc
kin was taken and all American
citizens were out Of danger, aud
at the same time give the adj
ministration about 1000 soldiers
who can be sent to the Philippines,
where the war is again raging, not,
withstandiug administration as
sertions that it was over many
months ago. The partnership with
Ii Hung Chang crops out in that
PARTON ofthe diplomatic note to the
powers which informs them that
the U. S. Minister to China has
been instructed to arrange the pre-
liminaries for opening negotiations
with Ii.
The extent OF Mr.. MckinIey's
control OF Hanna will be shown by
Hanna's future conduct. Mr.. Nc
| kinley left Washington last week,
fully determined to stop Hanna's
speech making, having been con
vineed that it was making Bryan
votes by the thousand all over the
country. Since then, Mr.. Hanna
has spent day with Mr.. Mckinley
at Canton. If Hanna makes no more
speeches, it will show that Mr.. Nc
KiHley retains some say i'll the con
duct of tile Republican campaign
If Hanna continues to make
speeches, it will show that he is tht
