 Will Bacon came up from Bisbee last week and has gone to Salt river tolook after his mothers ranch and stock.

the girl s mother, perhaps, and after

Not day passes that some man does

cumbersome red tape, followed when

came U. S. Volunteers for the war with
Spain, may be avoided without offend
ing the principles or prejudices of those
who are sticklers for the rights of the
States in all dealings with the Federal
Government, 1t is not an easy task,
but those who are charged with the du.
ty of considering it, are hopeful of sue
cess. All those interested will have
ample opportunity to be heard before
any plan is settled upon by the War
Department, as it is the desire of the
Department that plan be reported tc
Congress which will arouse no serious
opposition.
1t is quite certain that a tariff war
will be fought in Congress, winter, un'
less something occurs to distract public
attention from the question. The agl'
tation started by Representative Bah
cock, of Wis, when he introduced the
bill to remove the duty from all prod
ucts of the big steel trust, has grown
steadily, and Mr.. Batcock says that the
idea has been so widely endorsed that
he intends to broaden it by introducing
a bill as soon as Congress meets, proyld-
ing for the repeal Of the duty on all
trust controlled products While Mr.
Babcock would prefer that this war be
confined to the republican party IN Con-
eress, it is obvious that it will not be.
The democrats have already noted the
advantage they think they can gain for
their party by supporting Mr.. Bah
cocks idea, and they will probably at
tempt to carry it even further. On the
other hand, the more conservative re
publicans are likely o be found oppos.
lug the bill, not so much because they
are against its provisions, as because
they regard it as an attack upon the
principles of protection, which they
claim to be the keystone OF success OF
their party as we'll as Of the country 6
p. osperity. which they cannot safely
encourage. The attitude of the people
will probably decide the result Of the
fight. On general principles, regardless
of party, the people are overwheImngIy
in favor Of legislation that will curb the
poweu of the trusts. This, MIR. Bah
cock claims his bill will do. The argu'
ments presented by the supporters and
opponents of the bill will be the deter
mining factors Of the attitude OF the
people.
