EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT

special guardians of Arizona. We are
all familiar with the spirited action of
Senator Quay and the compromise that
was reached, by virtue of which the
Statehood bill will be taken up for
consideration in December. If the
political conditions in the Territories
that existed when the compromise was
effected are maintained, there is not a
reasonable doubt that the bill will pass
the Senate. The Democrats are not
trying to elect Delegate in either
Oklahoma or New Mexico. If the Re-
publicans of Arizona preferred State
hood to small plunder, they would
make no effort to- elect a Republican
here.
But the people of Arizona as a whole
should look at the situation calmly as
it exists. Arizona must not affrOnt
the Democrats of the Senate by licking
the hands that tried to smite her. Ari-
zona must be true to herself and to
her future. Statehood is great prize
and it must not be imperilled. To in
sure Statehood it is necessary that J.
F. Wilson should be elected Delegate
to Congress by no uncertain majority.

tion and technical ability partly In the
packing houses and partly on the ranch.
An experienced buyer Is likely to re-

his ability to tell by moments In
Spection what quality Of beef will be

The buyers work is not arduous, and

pens. Some he passes by without
pause others he stops to inspect more

his interest in group by asking
question or two of the man in charge.
Long experience enables him at
glance to distinguish between grass
fed steer and a corn fed steer, to de-

IGNORING UGLY FHCTS


That kind of optimism which results
from ignoring disagreeable facts thrills
the soul of our true-bIue Republican
contemporary. the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, so upliftingly that it exalts
it's voice in glorifcation of the char
mony' now existing in the G. o. P.
It finds "the Republican line intact
and sees in every direction "evidences
that the Republican leaders are acting
in harmony on all the great questions. -
One of those evidences" is the fact
that Speaker Henderson takes occa-
sion to tell the country that he is in
line with the President and all the
rest of the real leaders of the party on
the tariff and all other questions of
any consequence"
The Globe-Democrat appears to be
deaf to the storm of abuse which the
Republican organs are still hurting at
the head of the hapless Henderson.
For example, the New York Press, or

hALLOW E'EN

What a. world of merriment and
light-hearted diversion are clustered
round the traditional observances of
the occasion. Throughout Christen-
dom, in all the calendar, not even ex-
cepting Christmas Eve or Shrove Tues
day, there is no sprightlier time;
spritelier we might say, for popular
superstition has it that on this date
sprites, fairies, witches, imps and elfs
Of all varieties are especially potent
and energetic.
Considering that it is a period dedi-
Gated to peering into the future, it is
but natural that the part playful, half
earnest invocations of young people of
both sexes for revelations of the wives
or husbands fate has destined for theu
should form the basis of most of the
mystical ceremonies, for in the for
tune of youth, if the unknown is to be
penetrated. the first and strongest i'm
pulse is for gleanings of the mate
they dream of.
The young. however, do not monop-
olize all the witching of the celebra-
ton. There are practices fraught
with representation for all ages and
conditions; and it is very tough

Let all circles draw closer together
on this eve, and crack their jokes and

tions.
Then as the evening wanes and the
fire grows dim, what if there is that

ing in atmospheric nonchalence Just
back of one of your shoulders; what
if you do hear strange sighings and
rappings that appear to emapate from
no normal source. you have only to
sit closer, for fellowship and solace
are at hand.

THE NARROW GAUGE BONDS

The people of this county are en-
deavoring to select the best men for
Office. In doing this they are consid-
ering all the facts one way and the
other, so as to arrive at correct de-
termination. What light can be
thrown on the merits of the candidates
will be appreciated, but every honest
voter will resent efforts to hoodwink
him or to lead him astray by false
hood
In their desperate efforts to carry
their point few of the Republican
leaders all, for most of them
would not stoop to do so-are circu-
lating lies which are not only made
out of whole cloth, but are so silly that
they are not even plausible. Among
these lies some of the most grotesque
are those regarding the Narrow Gauge
bonds
Now the facts are, as shown by the
record, which even a campaign liar
can not impugn. that this infamous
debt was saddled on the county by the
funding act of June 6. 1896, passed
while N. 0. Murphy was the Republi-
can Delegate to Congress. The bonds
had been declared void by the supreme
court of the United States, and but for
the Murphy act would have remained
void. His act validated the bonds
and brought them to life The SUI
preme court of the United States so
decided in the case of Utter VS.. Frank
lin. ] 2 L. S.. 416, January 8, 1899:
~We are therefore of the opinion that
it was made the duty of the loan COM
missioners by these acts to fund the
bonds in question, and that the order
of the supreme court of the Territory
must be reversed"
When suit was brought to fund these
bonds the supreme court of Arizona,
which was then Democratic, held that
the bonds could not be funded.
In this case of Utter VS.. Franklin,
where the opinion adverse to Pima
county was rendered, the interests of
the county were represented by Re-
publican lawyer, the late Hon. c. w.
Wright, and by no one else. He was
the only attorney appearing for the
county or loan commissioners in the
supreme court. The campaign liar
does not seem to see that in suggest
ing blame for the loss Of this case he
is traducing the dead and villifying
one who was prominent member of
the Republican party. The fact is, in
spite OF the wretched insinmations,

speaking of Mr.. Henderson's con-
stituents, says: The wrong which
Henderson might have done to the
party of his district, his State and the
country by his effort to put it in a
false light has been more than offset
by the frank and firm action of the
Republicans whom he misrepresents.
They have rid themselves of Hender-
son-there. could be no better riddance,
not though it should be Grosvenor of
Ohio, marked with the same Hender-
son stripes. "
Other Republican papers are even
more brutally' severe than the Press in
their treatment of the Speaker, but
they do not join that paper in its
continuous and venomous assaults on
the venerable Grosvenor The plain
truth is that on the question of tariff
revision and the trusts, the Republican
lines, instead of being Intact" as the
Globe-Democrat finds them, are 'all
torn up" There is an imperative, and
in spite of the efforts of the Republi-
can leaders to repress it, a growing
Republican demand for reduction OF
schedules that by affording shelter tC
monopblistic combines directly pro-
mote extortion. The Republican
masses see no reason why the sched-
ules which Mr.. Dingley frankly said
were 'purposely made too high" in
order to afford room for reciprocity
dickering, should not come down.
If our St. Louis contemporary is
unable to hear the tumult in Iowa, in
Minnesota, in Wisconsin and in Illi-
nois. it can not be expected to note the
war in Massachusetts, where, in spite
of the most earnest efforts of the State
machine, half the Republican Congress
sional candidates have declared in IA
vor of radical revision of the tariff
And yet it is not strange that these
Massachusetts Republicans should
stand where Ding1ey stood when the
bill that bears his name was being
framed. Is it unnatural that they
stand where Chairman Babcock of the
Republican Congressional committee
stood from February, 1900, to July
1902?
And these Republican reformers
will ultimately see what they are con
tending for effected. The people vii
not submit to the gross injustice o.
high, unnecessary taxation much
longer, and will entrust the Demo
cratic party with power. The Repub-
licans were stronger in Congress il
1890 than they are now, but the people
swept them from power without cere
mony. The people can do the same
thing again, and they will There arr
as many Republicans opposed to th'
existing tariff as there were Demo
Gratis opposed to, the free coinage o
silver. There will be merging of th'
tariff reform elements one of thes
days, and then the trusts will hun
their holes.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

Statehood will give the people of
Arizona an opportunity to administer
on their own estate. 1t will elevate
them from the position of minor to
that of an adult 1t will enable them
to elect their own officials, to select
their own judges-in fact, to be COM
plete masters of their own affairs.
With Statehood established, Arizona
will have two Senators of the United
States, and a voting member of the
House of Representatives With
Mark Smiths long service in Congress,
he would be now the chairman of one
of the most important committees of
the House if he were full-dedged
member instead of a Delegate. No
Delegate ever gets beyond the tail end
of a committee, and he must be a
strong and popular man like Mr..
Smith if he succeeds in getting mem
bership on any committee of i'm
portance.
The great appropriations for public
Improvements of all kinds made by
Congress are generally divided up pro
rata among the States by the Senators
OF course a Territory, not being rep
resented in the Senate, gets very little
benefit from this distribution of the
fruits of public taxation. With full
representation in the Senate, Arizona
would be as strong in that body as
New York, or Illinois, or Ohio, or Mis-
souri,, or Texas. Two Senators of the
United States would be worth several
million dollars year to Arizona,
In order to effect Statehood, to be-
come beneficiary of all the great
prizes and privileges that spring from
Statehood, the people of Arizona must
elect J. F. Wilson Delegate to Con-
grsss. It is not probable that the Del
egate to be elected next Tuesday will
ever have much to do in Congress
But in order to make Statehood sure
the existing conditions must be main
tanned, and Arizona must show Dem
ocratic majority. When the Statehood
bill was before the House it was an
tagonized by all the Republican leaders
in that body. 1t was passed over the
protest of Speaker Henderson. 1t
never could have passed the House but
for the United action of the Demo
Gratis, who declared for the bill in
caucus, in response to the appeal of
Delegate Smith. The Democrats of
the House constituted themselves the
special guardians of Arizona. When
the measure went to the Senate, the
Democrats of that body declared in
favor of it, and like their brethren in
the House. constituted themselves the

Judge Wright made every effort possi-
BILE for his client. He had been in the
case from the very start of the litiga-
ton, and had gained the case in which
the bonds had been declared void, and
it was without a particle of fault of
his that the case of Utter VS.. Franklin
was lost. The supreme court held
that under Murphys funding act the
bonds must be funded, and neither
Judge Wright nor any one else could
induce the court to change it's view.
The facts are thus that the funding
act was passed by a Republican Dele
gate, Murphy, and the case was lost
yer
1t was not till after the adverse de-
cision of January 8, 1899, that addi-
tional counsel was employed to assist
Judge Wright in still further efforts.
The records of the board of supervisors
show that on January 16, 1899, Judge
Wright was again employed in the
case, and on petition signed by the
heaviest taxpayers of the county, one
of the signers being Hon. Andres Re-
bell, the present Republican member
of the board of supervisors, another
attorney was employed to assist Judge
Wright, in the hope that the supreme
court might be brought to reconsider
its former decision. Judge Wright up
to the time of his death, and his asso-
ciate, exhausted their efforts in behalf
of the county, but the supreme court
still held that Murphys funding act
was imperative, and that neither the
Arizona legislature nor the courts
could change it.
Republican Delegate N. 0. Murphy
loaded the Narrow Gauge bonds on
| Pima county. He is responsible, and
no one else.
The Democratic legislature of Ari-
zona did it's utmost to avert the cal
Council memorial No 8 of the Nine
teenth legislature and House memorial
No / of the Twentieth legislature set
out all the facts in full, showing that
the Narrow Gauge bonds were a. COM
plete fraud. and that it never was in
tended that they should be funded. and
petitioned Congress to take action to
exclude these bonds from the provis-
ions of the Murphy funding law Of
1896. A Democratic legislature also
on March 13, 1899, passed an act to
abolish the loan commission. Dele
gate Murphy was then governor, and
/ he vetoed the bill, but it was passed
over his veto
These memorials of the legislature
were brought before the supreme court
of the United States, and the facts were
set out in detail, giving history of
the bonds and the Narrow Gauge road
from the incorporation of the COM
pany to the present time. Absolutely
nothing in any way connected with
the matter was omitted, but it was all
unavailing, because the court held
that Murphy's funding law was i'm
perative and the bonds had to be
funded whether they were originally
fraudulent or not. The wound that
\ Murphy inflicted by his funding act
was one that neither the legislature
nor the courts could cure.
In attempting to distort the facts
the campaign liar seems to have
reached the desperation of madness.
