The Air

Is full of politics just now, and there is going to be great bargains for the ward ''heelers'' between now and Dc tober 1, 1901. Any promises made by office seekers from now on are made in good faith. We remember one man who had nineteen delegates out of twenty-five promise their votes to nim at a convention; when the ballots were counted he received four, and, queer to say, every solitary man of the nineteen waited on him next day and assured him they were sorry he was rejected, but they all swore they voted for him. He hasn't had that sickness called political fever'' since. Well, it does not matter whether our next mayor understands how to run a postofiice, or run a clothing store, or know how to prescribe for any kind of sickness, or even if he's a man equipped with instruments whereby he can move anything from the weight of feather to a ten ton safe a thousand miles. our store will continue to sell first quality Tea and Coffee at very reasonable prices. Four bars of soap with a pound of our warranted Tea. Our COffees are always fresh roasted. and ff you try some of our 24-cent Butter you'll come back for more. The quail ity at the price is what will please you at

ABOUT STATEHOOD.

A new agitation has been started on the question of statehood. Many of the eastern papers speak more fav- orably of the admission of Arizona than they have done in the past. It is also stated that President Roose- welt is in favor of admission. So far as sentiment is concerned argument is all in favor of admission and the only argument that can be adduced against it is the financial condition existing. With one or two exceptions the several counties of the territory are on the verge of bankruptcy and are only kept from being precipitated into that condition by high rate of taxation which almost amounts to con6scation. There seems to be no hope for improving this condition of affairs, as each succeeding legislature only seems to plunge it still deeper in debt, and appropriates money for all manner of useless and unnecessary objects.
 At present the governor, secretary judges and legislators are paid by the general government. The salaries of governor and legislators are made quate to the services required, and the territorial legislature has no power to furnish relief. One of the first things which would come up before a state legislature would be a bill increasing these salaries, while judging from the history of territorial legislatures, regular flood of meas ures would be introduced for public improvements.
 That a state government is pre- ferred by investors to a territorial form, on account of its greater sta dility is true and the moment that Arizona becomes state there would no doubt be large influx here of i'm migration and capital for investment and with an increased population and an increase in taxable property, and the right sort of men to enact our laws and manage the business of the territorial and county governments, decreased rate of taxation would en- sue.
 The governments donation of lands for school and university purposes would also be made available as source of revenue, and no doubt the bill providing for our admission would be accompanied by a further donation of land as it has been in other states, which would help to raise the young state from the slough of financial despond in which it is at present as a territory.

A LIBEL ON THE GOVERNOR.

'Gov. Murphy evidently believes in Barnum's theory that the American people loved to be humbugged. Bar mum did humbug people, Murphy statehood talk humbugs no one. As to statehood, he reminds us of the fellow who is always bowling for work and praying that he does not get it."-Courier. No more malicious libel, direct or by insinuation could be published against any man than the above. There is not a more ac- tive, earnest or conscientious worker
 for statehood in the territory than Governor Murphy. He has advo- cated it for years and has been sin cere in his efforts to secure the ad- mission of the territory. Immedi- ately after the election of last year, when the voters of the territory elected a democratic delegate to con
 gress, Governor Murphy, with a mag nanimity seldom witnessed, made a trip to Washington at his own ex- pense to urge a republican congress to admit democratic territory as a state. His work has not only been earnest and sincere, but it has been effective as well, as he succeeded in winning to the cause of statehood

CASSATT ON THE WAR PATH.
He Issues an Utimatum to The Goulds in the Way of Demanding Some of The Latter's Railroad Prop
 erty.

4. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, has demanded of George Gould the sur render of the Wabash railway system and the Wheeling and Lake Erie at a price which will net a profit t9s the Goulds, under threat of cutting of the whole of the Western Union tele- graph lines from the entire Pennsyl- vania railroad system, as well as from the Vanderbilt lines, which have agreed to the deal.
 This is a threat that means a war greater than any that has ever taken place in this country. The penalty means that the Western Union will suffer the greatest blow in its history and will lose many of its profitable lines, which will be turned over to its great rival, the Postal Telegraph com pany.
 This ultimatum means more than any other railway deal in the history of this country It is believed that the Gould's will accede to the demand and that the Pennsylvania will not only add nearly three thousand con- comitant miles to its trackage, but will also get rid of rival for the Carnegie steel business, which is the largest factor in the whole matter, re- sulting from a contract made by Mir. Carnegie with the Wheeling & Lake Erie before the United States Steel corporation was formed, and to carry out which the Goulds were trying to build line to Pittsburg.

 The estate of the late President Mckinley is valued at from S200,000 to S250,000. He bequeathed it all to his wife and at her death it is to be divided, share and share alike with his brothers and sisters.
 That Journal Miner criticismof the Examiner, which the Courier appro- priated to itself, as being specially fitting to it, seems to be still troub- ling the latter's conscience, as it con tains two column explanation this morning of it, interspersed with the usual "Journal-Murphy" mutterings. It also attempts to explain an epithet applied to Governor Murphy, by the very far fetched assertion that the word used is Persian one denoting honor.

DESTINY OF CUBA.

The editor of Anglo-American pub. lished in the City of Mexico is one oi the most out spoken newspaper men in that republic. He has an off hand sort of dash to his writing that one cannot help but admire him though differing from what he outlines and with his manner of sayingit. In speak ing of the future of Cuba he gives vent to his feelings as follows:
 An American paper asks whether or not the Cubans can govern them selves. If they can't, the Anglo American knows who can-ard will The average American goes into every proposition from politics to poker with the most seraphic intentions but he never gets far before his hoggish propensities come to the front. When the war with Spain began there was not one American out of one thousand who was animated by any feeling but a Godgiven inspiration to free the suffering Cubans. Six months later half the nation was trying to find excuses to hold onto the Pearl of the Antilles. As I have repeatedly said, Cuba will be free; free to raise the devil; free to fight at the drop of the hat every pollution who disagrees with every other politician; free to show its utter inability to compre- bend what freedom really means and to distinguish between liberty and license. Cuba Libre will be a picture on earth of anarchists in hades. Yet the Cubans will be given a chance to show their unftness. When they have demonstrated to their uttermost their insanity, the great and good American nation will again intervene in the interests of humanity and the processof benevolent assimilation will be recommended"

THE BIC BUG MURDER.
Mystery Surrounds the Killing which Was Done in Most CoWardly Manner in Daylight and on
 Public HighwaY.

Later details cnncerni.S the cow ardly assassination of Bruce Profit at Big Bug and the arrest of Thomas Powlas, charged with the crime, in- dicate that there had been trouble between the two men prior to the shooting. Profits wife and children have been visiting in Riverside, Cali fornia, for about a month and it is said that both of them had intimated to Powlas that they had separated, and the latter, it is alleged, had been in correspondence with Mrs. Profit and had also sent her some money. Some of this money, together with the coTespon dence, it is stated, was returned to Mir. Proiiit They also are said to have had trouble over a mining claim.
 On the other hand, Powlas claims to have been quite a distance from the scene of the shooting when it oc- cured, and no gun of any kind was found in his possession or in his cabin and it is stated that he was never known to own one.
 When shot Profit was on the pub lie road and team had just passed him a short time before. A force of graders were at work within forty wards of the scene of the shooting, yet no one heard the shot or saw any one leaving there.
 After being shot Profit dropped his dinner pail and ran about eighty feet, when he fell, dying instantly, it is supposed, as it was estimated from the time the team passed him until his dead body was found that not more than three orfour minutes could have elapsed.
 Another man with whom Profit had trouble was in camp on the morn ing of the shooting but has not been seen there since. but it Is said that he left there three or four hours before the shooting occurred.
 Puwlas is spoken of as a very quiet, industrious and peaceable young man, man not addicted to drink, and who never had any trouble with any one of a serious nature.
 On receipt of the news of her hus- bands death Mrs. Profit wired to hold the remains until she arrived and she was expected to arrive there today,

UNSOLICITED ADVICE.

Our contemporary has commenced advising President Roosevelt as to what he should and what he should not do. Of course the suggestions and advice is not disinterested en- tirely. Democratic advice to a re- publican never is. Here is what is said:
 "Following the recent statement by Dollar Mark Hanna, that he would never again be interviewed, comes the newspaper report that Hanna has expressed great and profound confi- dence in Roosevelt. This Hannite confidence is a recent growth. Roose- welt will do well not to cultivate that growth too much, for as it increases, the confidence of the people in Roose- welt may decrease. Unhorse Hanna, Mir. President, and throw overheard his satrap in Arizona"
 or course nothing would suit the democratic party better than to see an open rupture between Mark Hanna and President Roosevelt for the ad- vantage that would result from it to the democratic party. Mark Hanna is the brainiest political organizer and manager that this country has ever had in any party. Twice has he mar shaled the republican hosts of the country, in solid phalanx, sending to earth their political opponents with majorities never before experienced or even dreamed of in this country.
 No wonder the democratic party would like to see him unhorsed by President Roosevelt so that he would not further take an active part in the councils of the party. Mark Hanna is too good patriot though to sulk in his tent, and President Roosevelt is too smart man not to appreciate the value of the advice and counsel oi MT. Hanna, so that our democratic brethren need not hope for the reali- zation of their desires.
 The amusing feature of the above quotation is in the sentence which says: Roosevelt will do well not tc cultivate that growth (the confidence of Hanna too much, for as it increases the confidence of the people in Roose welt may decrease"
 The editor of the above paper evi- dently has very short memory not to remember that Mark Hanna wa: the late President McKinley's closest and most intimate friend and ad- wiser and that no man who ever occu- pied the presidential chair, won the confidence and esteem of the whole people, even of his political oppon- ents, to such a great degree as he did Were a man to offer President Roose welt advice in the interest of his OWL success, popularity and in winning the confidence of the people, and tC do so from the history of the past, il would be directly opposite to that of fered by the Courier. President Roosevelt, however, needs no advice from anyone, and particularly iron democratic sources.
 Again in the closing sentence oi this friendly CD advice the Courier discloses its real motives, in its desire to have Governor Murphy removed to whom it applies the epithet oi ''Hanna's satrap in Arizona"

FRYING TO SQUARE HIMSELF.

Senator Wellington has written a letter to friend in Washington in which he tries to wriggleout of the very unpleasant situation in which he finds himself through his incorporate ut terances over the assassination of President Mckinley. The senator has been expelled from several organiza- tions in Maryland, of which he was a member, and has also been the sub lect of very severe newspaper criti- cism, and he has discovered his mis- take. In this letter he says he gave no interview to the newspapers ex- pressing indifference to the shooting of President Mckinley but refused again and again to say anything for publication "for the reason that Mckinley had done me such injury that I could never forgive and I felt that it would be better to say nothing at this time." He adds: As to the crime of Czolgosz, I hardly think it necessary to say that I, like yourself, sbhor an assassin, and I am as much appalled, at the crime which struck down the president as any of his warmest friends. I do not think that anyone who knows me would for a moment believe that I would look with indifference upon an act of this kind, when it strikes at the govern ment itself and affects every citizen therein. Our list of murdered presi- dents has been far too great, and some drastic law should be passed to prevent another national tragedy like that enacted at Buffalo"
 If the senator had made such a statement as that at the time he was asked for an expression of opinion instead of saying ''it was a matter oi supreme indifference to him.. he would have saved himself from much criticism, as we'll as from the present very unpleasant situation he find, himself in. He would not now fee called upon to write any letters of ex planation, either.
