ToN FITCH, he of the silver tongue, who Is now in Honolulu, has lost none of his old-time power of language. The following extract from speech on the death of President Mckinley is full of beautiful thoughts:
 It is not fitting that should on this occa- sion indulge in lengthy review of the charac- ter and career of the hero and statesman who has gone. Do I say gone2 An. no. when great man dies and we gaze at his unfinished efforts and cry out for some proof that the work goes on. some thought some echo. some subtlest sign-what dull ards are we all
 Can we not discern that the testimony of the soul is the only testimony that we dare not challenge? That the echo we SO fain would grasp repeats immortality in every voiceless storm. in every viewless. measure less length of space2 Lived ever in our con- nciousness more surely. more potently. our murdered leader than he lives to-day.

 And SO we bid our President for while farewell.

The spirit with all Its garnered riches of wisdom, with it's per- sonality beatified but not absorbed by the new light, sallied out of this earthly night Into the radiant morning of another life Upon that morning our mortal visions can never rest.

AsrATEHooo CONVENTION.
Governor Murphy Suggests Tsatthe coun-
 ties Send Delegates.

Governor Murphy came to Tucson this morning, says the Tucson Citizen, and has been feeling the pulse of the old pueblo regarding statehood, during the day The Governor says that every body who counts for any body in Tue son is in favor of statehood, and that the same sentiment practically exists everywhere throughout the territory.
 h conversation with presentative of the Citizen, Governor Murphy said that it would be necessary, he thought, to hold some kiud of convention or conference. II came over to consult with Mark Smith" said he, "as to the best method of procedure. The Phoe nix board of trade is actively at work. and l am iu hopes that the Tucson board of trade will also take an inter- est. There will be meeting of the Phoenix board of trade tomorrow 1 night to take action regarding state- hood. ] have been invited to address the meeting and shall try to be there. 'sl have no authority to issue proc lamation calling convention, but l can issue semi. proclamation suggest l ing that the counties send delegates to a conference or convention. Twill sug- gest to the Phoenix board of trade to- morrow night that Phoenix pay the ex- pense of such convention. don't know that Phoenix will accept my sug. gestion. am satisfied, however, that we should do something. We must make 1t plain to congress that the peo- pie of the territory favor statehood. We must also avoid partisan politics. All the people must act together. h my opinion We will stand Il good chance of being admitted to statehood by the next congress. don't think the cor porations will fight the proposition, although we canuo. count on their sup port to any great extent
 Statehood, I feel certain, will dou- 
 ble tue population and wealth Arizona in couple of years and for that reas or think it IS the duty of all the people to do everything possible to achieve it.
 "We ought to have convention or a conference of the strong men of the ter ritory, to talk over the situation aud devise means of procedure. Oklahoma and New Mexico are actively at work and We should not lag behind"
 The Governor has been invited to at- . tend convention called by the gover- nor of New Mexico to meet at Albu- querque, and deliver an address. Hs
 will probably accept, and make homs rule speech.

UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila River at San Carlos. in Arizona. because this im- provemen. would not only bring under cul- tivAtlon large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians. who are now in starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of ofirriga- tion on large scale, but. also an act of mercy and justice.-lLos Angeles Time. Editorial. Feb. 12. 1901.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infam con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have rum bling souud or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out ami this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de, > troyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

RAILROAD BUILDING.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Complete Plans
 for Extension.
From the Chicago Tribune.l

From the Chicago Tribune.l
 It is learned that the Santa Fe and Rock Island railroad systems have com pleted plans for the extention of their lines into the southern part of Arizona.
 The chief engineer and staff of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix rail- road will begin at once survey of the country from Florence to Benson, up through the Gila and San Pedro valleys, as far as old Camp Grant. The Santa Fe several years ago made a survey from Phoenix to Florence and will take up the lost thread and continue east.
 The action of the Santa Fe is said to have been hastened by the fact that the Rock Island has been constructing a line southwest to El Paso from Liberal, Kansas, and the late traffic ar engagements made by that road with the Phelps Dodge copper syndicate for the use of trackage in Arizona. This, it Is said, practically gives the Rock Island the control of the line from Benson, Arizona, to Ei Paso, Texas.
 Whether this Rock Island extension will eventually cross the Colorado desert and tap San Diego as a south western outlet has not been disclosed, but 1t is claimed that Rock Island sur veyors and others have skirmished the country between Phoenix aud Yuma.

 AN EMeEZZLEMENT CASE.
Two Young Men of Casa Grande Seek
 Ing Their Fortune.
IFrom the Pboenix Republican.l

From the Phoenix Republican,
 A. Price of Casa Grande arrived in town yesterday morning to look up some personal property lately belong ing to D. c. Stevens of Florence. Some thing more than week ago young man by the name of Lane and another youth, stepson of Mir Price, hired an outfit of Stevens. It consisted of a gray horse and bay, covered wagon. tent, cooking outfit, Winchester rifle and revolver. They were start ing out to seek their fortune, but it was not expected that they would con- sider Mir. Stevens property to be part oft.
 They came directly to Phoenix and took lodgings at the Dublin corral, where they sold the entire outfit for $80. short time afterward the proprietor of the corral sold 1t to W. c. Barber for the same money.
 Word of the transaction reached MT. Stevens, and Price came over to see whatcould be done about the recovery of the property. The proprietor of the corral could do nothing, and Mir Barber was not inclined to see wheth- CT he could or not
 Price began an action iu replevin ir Justice Burnett's court and put up a sufficient bond. The property was seized by Constable Martin, who will hold it pending the trial of the title The whereabouts of the young mer who have tangled things up in thi. manner is unknown.

Construction work was commenced this week on the extension of the Ari- zoua aud New Mexico railroad from Lordsburg to Clifton, and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible. The New Mexico Southwestern is laying steel out of Deming at the rate of nearly mile day at the present time. The Arizona and New Mexico will make it's junction with the road from Deming a t a point about three miles east of the old mining camp at Hachita, where they have scripped land in most de- sirable location. A town will be laid O if there which in the near future prom ises to be place of some importance. The town will be about forty miles from Lordsburg and little luther than that from Deming. It will be called Hachita. Good mines exist in that sec tion, but owing to the lack of trans portation and the low price of silver for some years past, they have been idle but with the coming of the railros many of them will doubtless resume operations, and many new ones will be developed. The town of Hashita has
 bright future before it.-TCopper Era.

Charles Rose, who was recently pa roled from the Yuma penitentiary, declines to accept the freedom granted by such action. He says he believes the reproach of paroled convict will be greater than that of an imprisoned one; that he would rather remain in the penitentiary making record for good behavior, so that if he should ever be pardoned he can emerge into full citizenship at once. Another reason why he objects to parole is that he is professional prospector, and without citizenship he would be debarred from making locations of mining claims. He has been model prisoner and is said to be one of the most intelligent con- victs at Yuma. a.-lJournal-Mine

Cruz Sisneros, a twelve year-old boy, was shot and killed near Clifton by Francisco Castillo, aged fourteen years, last week. The Sisneros boy was talk ing to another boy when Castillo came along and drawing .45 calibre pistol, shot the boy through the head. A few days previous to the killing Castillo had trouble with another boy over 6 pair of spurs, and doubtless mistook Sisneros for the other boy.
