Arizona republican., 1901-07-29

truly said that a feeling akin to sad ness spread like a pail over the entire county. Men of all shades of political and personal sentiment joined in one unanimous expression of respect and admiration for the man who had al ways borne himself with fidelity to hi: employers. with kindness to his asso. ciates and with justice to the commln- ity at large.
 1t Is now quite authoritatively am nounced that We are really to have 6 shelter in Tucson. This information seems to emanate from an authentic source and considerable confidence is felt and expressed on the subject by our citizens generally.
 It is alleged that wealthy men east have secured large interests in valuable mining property in southern Arizona which fully justifies this investment and secures them for an unlimited pe- riod a good supply of ore which will keep the smelter running.
 This is a project which has on vari. ous occasions engaged the attention oi business men from the west. pre- scented thls matter myself to eastern capitalists and endeavored to organize a company for the development and ex- plotting of Arizona mines. But this attempt was made at a critical busi- ness period, when a democratic admin is,ration under Mir. Cleveland was dis playing those brilliant feats of states manship which were the inevitable pre- curses of soup houses. The panic of '94 came along and the development oi Arizona or any other country was rele- gated to the limbo of "marana." Now however. under the guiding star of men and patriots, every conceivable enter prise for the advancement and better ment of the nation Is being encouraged Capital which under democratic mis- management concealed Itself behind the bolts and locks of treasure vaults is coming to the front with that boldness which confidence In public rulers al- ways inspires. In every direction cap ital is seeking investment, because in- .telllgent American genius is at the helm.
 There Is no reason, therefore, why a smelter enterprise or any other enter prise should not nov be inaugurated Hence am disposed to credit this i'u- nor. Under democratic adminlstra- tion such report would appear in the light of fairy tale. but under the wise and patriotic administration of Me Kinley It is likely to occur.
 At the dedication ceremonies at Bun- ker Hill the immense crowd pushed and surged with such terrific fury that the ladies who had reserved seats in front could not get there. At this juncture Daniel Webster arose and In stentorlan tones shouted: "Gentlemo n, get back; the ceremonies will not proceed until the ladies are seated" In reply one united cry went up. Impossible. ' Webster turned, and with majestic mien and flashing eye. raising his hand he said: ''At Bunker Hlll anything is possible!" It Is needless to add that the crowd immediately gave way; and So say now. under McKinley's admins tration any thing great is possible For this reason We can afford to indulge in the illusions of hope for Arizona with some assurance that they may end In fruition.
 The Republican has recently an nounced the possible return of Gov. 2u- lick to Arizona. Shades of Nacosari! Amid all the manifest benefits which appear in store for our territory this consummation would be the only blot upon the otherwise fair camera of prospective delight.
 When Philip of Macedon received in. formation of the birth of Alexander the victory of his celebrated general Parmenio and the winning of the race at the Olympic games by his favorite horse, all on the same day, he exclaim- ed: "Oh, ye gods! send me some slight disaster at once to partially neutralize the effect of SO much good fortune. T surmise, therefore, that the same gods may possibly send us Zuick for the same purpose.
 The intense heat and dust have con- tinued almost without intermission r,n- tii Saturday. when we had a fine shower. On Monday. however, we had genuine old fashioned storm. The rain fell in. torrents and the streets were transformed into miniature rivers Tor about an hour. This was the first substantial rainfall since the early June downpour The early rain, instead of being the precursor of wet summer as our weather prophets predicted. seemed rather to pu; a damper upon Jupiter Pluvius. who has decreed us drouth ever since. In this regard Jup- iter is somewhat paradoxical in his per formances.
 A recent editorial in The Republican n on the subject of prayers for material the subject of prayers for material benefits meets with universal approt,a tion. It does seem passing strange that in this enlightened age and in free America such folly should still be per- petrated. Truly. the reflex of medie valism stIIi glimmers and exerts a powerful influence among the moi pollok"
 The Republican we'll said. in sub stance. that if evils could be averted and blessings secured through the efi- cacy of prayer chaos would come again and the immaculate designs of nature would be Distorted and revolutlonized by the frantic appeals of ignorant hu- manity. for the qualification of selfish lust. blind ambition and remorseless greed.
