 The city of Bisbee contributed a neaping measure of tribute and re- spect for the soldier dead. The pa rade in this city was probably the largest in the territory 1t was joined by the public schools and every socie- ty, including the grand army, sons of veterans and the Spanish war vete-- ans. The exercises were highly cred itable, the address by Rev. Pritcha. d and Rev. Shields, being filled with patriotism and dressed in eloquence.

THE ARIZONA UNIVERSITY.

The commencement will be held at the Arizona University beginning to
 day. The program of exercises indi-
 cates that throughout the week the university will be the center of at traction in Tucson. The closing term is said to have been the most success full and satisfactory in the history ot the institution. The attendance al the institution is pretty evenly distributed throughout the territory, and the re- suits accomplished by the able faculty has strengthened the confidence in the school in every county in Arizona. The university should awaken the pride and hearty support of every friend of education in this territory. for the institution is doing much good not only in imparting the higher branches of education to our youth a: a minimum cost, but it has attracted the attention and commendation of educators throughout the country be cause of it's high standard and scien- tific work There is hardly a con ceiyabIe excuse for any parent sending

WILL GET EVEN ON HE PECPLE

An estimate of the losses that have .cCn caused 50 far by the coal strike divides them as follows: To miners in wages. s2,594 .O00 to operators in the the price of coal, s5.2040 900; to the un- employed exclusive Of the miners s600, 900; to depreciation Of business in the anthracite region. s1 100000; coal dcmi1ed, s2,oVU,vV OI course the coal trust will expect to recoup them selves for the loss they have sustained from the public, who are dependent entirely on the trust for a supply of coal. This is why the people at large are interested in the struggle. The very fact that the operators refused to entertain any suggestion of arbitra- ton and settlement of the trouble IS proof of their arrogance and evident intention to bleed the public when the time comes for returning any loss they may have sustained from the strike. The coal trust refuses to arbitrate with the strikers, because they feel that they have nothing to lose in the end Such exhibitions Of arrogance will perhaps after a time open the eyes of the people to the evil of trust combinations

THE SALT RIVER WATER SUPPLY.

The people of the Salt River valley are in a determined mood in the mat ter of providing a water supply for that fertile section of Arizona A bill is in congress which if it becomes a law will permit that county to issuue bonds to the amount of s2,500,000 for the construction of reservoir in which to store an additional supply of water. At meeting last week in Phoenix it was decided to ask that the bill be amended in congress so as to permit of either the S2, ,500. 900 bond issue, which would permit of munich pal ownership, or the issue of only $1 100000 in bonds as a guarantee of the payment of interest on the bonds issued by a private ownership of the reservoir.
 As stated in these columns before, so long as the congressional act au- thorizing this Maricopa bond issue is so framed that by no possibility could the bonds ever become a charge against the territory, there will prob ably be no objection to the proposition outside of Maricopa county.
 The conditions under which the water for irrigation in the Salt River valley is now controlled are unfortun- ate, as compared with other systems of irrigation in the territory. The big canals in the Salt River valley are water direct to the consumer. These companies are all heavily in debt and interest charges make the price of water yer high, though the cost would probably not be unbearable if sufficient supply could be furnished.
 In the Gila valley in Graham county the canals are owned and controlle ] by the farmers and land owners. Each share of stock represents the right to so much water, usually one share to ten acres. The canals are all incor- porated and controlled by a board uf directors, who direct the maintenance of the canal and the distribution of the water. Assessments are levied t., keep up the canal work either in cash or labor on the canals. This is an ideal system, and were it possible for Maricopa county to take up the pres ent canal ownership and return it tn the control and management of the consumers, it would be desirable thing to do. Such a course might re suit in a heavy load to be carried ny the farmers of that section for 2 time, but future tiIlers of the soil
 would receive a great benefit

 The accepted retirement of Mr Smith from the congressional race leaves a clear field to a number of as pirants for the position To be a representative in congress of the high citizenship of Arizona is worthy the ambition of any man, and from the many deserving democrats of the ter ritory it need not be surprising if there are half a dozen or more candi dates in the field before the te-ritori al convention meets. Col. Wilson aud Charley shannon are announced al ready as aspirants. and Frank Cox is under.,oOl U La.e strong following in Maricopa county, who would give that county's delegation to him whenever he says he wants it. Tucson has at least half dozen avail able men who have been dreaming of a seat in Congress from Arizona.
 The field is now open and the con test will no doubt wax warm. It is three months before the convention is to be held, which will give all aspir- ants ample time to make the anvass of the several counties and make known their claims and qualifications which shoulud bring to them support

MARK SMITH
 NOT A CANDIDATE.

Delegate Mark Smith sent a tele- gram to Hon. B. A. Packard on Tues day last stating that while he had re- ceived hundreds Of letters from Ari. zona, convincing him that he could re- ceive a re-lomination at the hands G the democratic party, still he was not a candidate and would make no effort to secure the nomination.
 This statement will be received by every opponent of Mir. Smith with glee, while the great majority of the people of Arizona will read it with regret. There has been a general de sire among the people of southern Ar izona, at least, that MT. Smith would be returned to congress, and that by common consent. No man everservet a people more faithfully, efficiently, oI with more distinguished ability and honor than has Mark Smith served the people of Arizona. He has beer constant in his devotion to everj cause which promised advancement for Arizona and benefit to our people During his long years of prominenct and public service in Arizona he ha. been unselfish. modest and straight forward and honest in both his polit ical and personal bearings.

PRESIDENT ROCSEVENT'S MEMORIAL ADDRESS.

The memorial address deliered by President Roosevelt at Washington on decoration day was a studied and care ful defense Of the administration's pol. icy in the Philippines and a plea that the charity of the people of the Uni ted States should be found abundant to cover the sins of the American army towards the natives of the Arch ipehgo. This speech may be accepted as key note for the friends of the administration during the fall cam- paign. While the President does not fully commend all the brutal acts charged against the American soldiers in the Philippines, still he excuses them to the farthest extent that would be wise, considering the present tenn per Of the people. He asserts that efforts are to be made to punish all who have violated the rules of war by acts of cruelty and barbarity. It is to be hoped that this promise will be carried out and the stain on the American soldiery in the Philippines will be wiped out by the adequate and swift punishment of those who are responsible for it. The President de votes threefourths of his memorial ad dress to the conditions in the Philli- pines. Concerning an independent gov ernment for the Philippines, the Pres ident said:
 When they have shown their capac- ity for real freedom by their power of sef-government, then, ard not till then, will it be possible to decide whether they are to exist independent ly of us or be knit to us by ties of com mon friendship and interest When that day shall come it is not in human wisdom now to foretell. This is a very indefinite statement as to what shall be the definite policy in the Phil ippines. The contention of those who oppose the present policy of the al ministration has been, and is now. that there should be positive declara- uon that the people of the Philippines should be free and independent when ever they formed a stable form of government, with the assistance, ad- vice and protection of the United States. Contentment and peace in the Archipelago can hardly be expec- ted, so long as they are subjected to government of any kind, not of their own control
 This is very definite state ment as to what shall be the definite policy in the Philippines The contention of those who cp- pose the present policy of the ad- own control.
 President Roosevelt's address was a strong appeal to the old soldiers of the country to uphold and sustain the political policy now being maintained in the Philippines.

Sundry articles appear from his pen to
