is Adoption Was on July /. 1776. and
the Actual Signing Took Place
on August 2.

A correspondent OF the New York
Sun says; In strict technical accuracy
It is an error to say that the Declare
tion OF Independence was actually
signed on July 4. 1776. The declaration
was adopted on that day. Delegates
from five colonies. namely, Massachu-
sets. Rhode Island. New Jersey, fvr-
ginia and North Carolina, voted solid
ly for it, Eight. New Hampshire, Con-
necticuts New York. Pennsylvania
Delaware. Maryland. South Carolina
and Georgia. did not vote solidly for it,
but gave majority. The vote BY dele
gates was A In favor 10 26 against.
1t is interesting In recording its his
tory to note that on Friday, June z,
1776. Richard Henry Lee. a delegate
from Virginia, offered the following.
which was seconded by John Adams,
OF Massachusetts;
Resolved. That these United Colon
les are, and Of right, ought to be, free
and independent states; that they are
absolyed from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political
connection between them and the state
OF Great Britain Is, and ought to be,
totally dissolved"

PLEADS FOR THE TARIFF ISSUE.

| Judge Lambert Tree, of Chicago, one of the prominent old time demo- crats, who is earnestly desirous for the success of his party takes no stock in the fight being made by democrats on the administrations Phillipine poli- cy, or criticisms of the acts of the army in the Archipeligo. He man tains, and with warmth and vigor, that the tariff and trusts furnish a1 interview published in the Record Herald Judge Tree says:
 Today the people of the Unitei States are talking more abnuJ the taUiT than any other subject. They believe tariff is largely respo. sibls loc the hi1 n price of all commodities which en- ter into the cost of living. They believe that the tariff is the base of the trusts. The cost of living, the monopolistic trusts, the high tariff, run together and form the greatest problem with which the Amercan people have to deal today. There is the issue which comes home to every man, to every woman The people are talking about high prices; they are talking about trusts; they are talking about the tariff. They care lit tie for the alleged wrongs of the Phil ipinos, and are willing to trust the American army and American civil agents to work out that problem. But they care very much about the cost of living They want to know if it has increased faster than wages They want to know to what extent the tariff is keeping up prices and making a few rich at the expense of the many.
 The trust system is the outgrowth of the high protection system. We have been told that the trusts would cheap en commodities; that they would in trobuce scientific economies, and by making production cheaper would make prices lower. But they have not done it. They have suppressed or minimized competition, and prices are higher than ever. If there are econo- mics in the new industrial develop ment the consumers are not getting the benefit thereof The savings are going into the pockets of manupila- watered stock"

There may be just complaints because or certain features of the city govern ment. We know of no ideal or perfect governments either big or little, ii there are objectionable features to Bis bees government, certainly it will be agreed that there are benefits to be had from it. Instead of efforts being directed towards disiIoorporaion it would be better to try to remedy any existing evils.

ment especially desirable. There seems to be much objection to the scav- enger wagon. The best way to get rid of this is to agitate a system of sew craze. Many objections are urged to the licenses imposed upon the busi- ness men of the city. The license may be high, as applied to certain lines of business, but no one should object to that mode of raising public revenue, as certainly those who carry on the business in any town should bear the extra portion of the expenses. There are many things to be accomplished by the city government, which would add to the comforts and convenience of our citizens. which could be ob- tained in no other way. Among these are:
 Street Improvement.
 Better Water Supply.
 A Sewerage System.
 Fire Protection, by the regulation of building.
 A new City jail to take the place of the den on O k street which has been long a disgrace to Bisbee.

Washington advices are to the ef- feet that friends of a national system of irrigation are yet hopeful that con- gross will pass a measure which, while not being all that is desired by the west. still will be a beginning. When ever the government undertakes the business of national irrigation It will soon be proven to be productive of great industrial expansion which will return immense profits in the making of prosperous homes and the creation of great wealth.

TUCSON GETS
 THE CONVENTION.

The democratic central committee decided in Phoenix that the next del egate to congress should be named i1 Tucson. It seems the decision of the committee was made a test of strength betwenn the Mark Smith forces and the Wilson forces in the territory and the result was a victory for the friends of Mir. Smith. It will be just ten years since the democrats assembled in Tue son in connvention. The last conven- tion held in the old pueblo was for the purpose of elecung delegates to the national democratic convention.
 Among the delegates chosen at that time were A. G. Oliver, of Prescott, E. E. Ellinwood, of Coconino, Judge Bak- CT, of Phoenix, Mike Nugent, of Yuma Charley Shannon was made national committeeman. Cleveland was nomi- mated and elected! Hughes was ma ie governor, Baker got the chief justice ship, Ellinwood was appointed Unite1 States attorney and Charley Shannon was made internal revenue collector for the district of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The convention is to be held on Sep tember 3. The democrats of Tucson will give to the territorial democracy hearty welcome, as that place is no ted for it's hospitality. Tuscon is now better prepared to care for and accom- modate large crowd than ever before as hotel facilities there have been en- larged and improved

CAUSE FOR THANkFULLNEss.


 The inhabitants of the city of Ha vana and other important cities o1 Cuba, occupied by American authority snce the Spanish war, will have much cause for remembering with gratitude the period of occupancy by this coun try. Everywhere there has been grea, improvement in the sanitary condition and the diseasestricken localities have been cleaned up and made healthy Especially is this improvement notice able in Havana where Governor Wood exerted every influence and all his power to rid the place of filth and dis ease and introduce and sustain mod ern sanitary conditions.
 What a wonderful sanitary change has been wrought in this old town is graphically told by Major w. M. Black in the National Geographical Maga- zine.
 Shanties and sheds that had been for decades breeding places for chol- era germs were ruthlessly swept away; streets never repaired in the memory of living man were cleaned or re paved; sewers were rebuilt, and houses were unceremoniously entered and dis infected. All this work has been done, not spasmodically, but systematically. Cleaning squads were sent from house to house; apartments were cleaned regardless of the protest of their inmates. The accumulation of years from cellars were thrown out. Such an arbitrary procedure would, no doubt, raise a storm of indignant protest from the people of North America But the health and safety of Havana demanded it.
 The most admirable work of all was the cleaning of the sewers. Not since the day when they were first built had they been looked after Many of them were choked by the refuse of decades. The American authorities not only managed to repair the sewerage sys- tenn and render it in every way ser viceable, but did so without injuring the life of single laborer The streets of the city have been cleaned, and in many cases transformed. A magnifi- cent sea wall and a promenade have been built; parks have been cleared and converted from haunts for thieves into pleasure grounds for the people
 Ia hol iv, the Hospital Militar. To be carried to that place was like being carried to ones grave Not more than 30 per cent of the patients who entered i;s walls ever came out alive. American surgeons avoided it; soldiers held their breath when they passed it The sanitary squad of the Engineer Corps took possession of the building, cleaned it from attic to cellar, coated it's walls again and again with white wash, and finally left the building clean and wholesome. It is now used for a schollhouse.
 Naturally the slothful Cubans dis liked the fumigated and disinfection process to which they were subjected What was good enough for their grand fathers was good enough for them they thought. Probably most of the Cubans, if the matter of cleaning the city had been put to popular vote would have decided against the trans formation of the town. Now that the streets are cleaned, the parks trimmed and lighted and the sea promenade enjoyable, they have revised theil opinions of Amercan extravaganza and have even begun to take a certain pride in the new capital.
