THE Mohave Miner, Of Kingman,

Arizona, is evidently in favor of c. NJ j..

Mark Smiths withdrawal from he
congressional race, or rather his re-
fusal To become candidate. in no wise
takes him from the race. He is not
the first man who has been nominated
TO Office after entering an emphatic
refusal. Mr.. Smith undoubtedly
wants his nomination to be unanimous.
but he sees that such cannot be the
case with 80 many men in the field.
Each one must surely have followers
and the fight would he n warm one il
he conclued to stay. Charles NJ. Shan
non is now the candidate that will APP
peal To the southern Arizona demo-
Gratis and we believe that he can get
the nomination. He is bright man,
rich and popular.
The Miner also trots out John Doe
for the republican candidate. John
will need plenty of dough il he runs
against shannon.

THE explanation made 10y the friends
Of Mark Smith, concerning the appor-
tionmcnt Of delegates to the Con>titu-
tional convention. should be entirely
satisfactory to every fair-mindcd man.
The representation was made on the bas-
i, that has existed for so many ycara.in
tho apportiOnmcnt OF representatives
and councilmcn to the territorial lcgis-
laturc There have been several efforts
made To change the representation
through Legislative enactment which,
however, have not been successful.
There can be- no doubt that the repre-
scntaticn provided for in the enabling
act is an injustice To several counties,
bat the blame should attach to the
legislature, and not to Mark Smith.
The territory should be rc-apportioncd.
and the representation based on the
present population.

THE international OF Douglas, in
an able editorial on the withdrawal OF
MIR. Smith, takes occasion to endorse
MIR. Shannon, as follows:
The withdrawal of Mr.. Smith has
thrown down the bars to many aspir-
ing Democrats who would like to 90 to
congress Some OF these new candi-
dates did not wish to enter the lists
against Mark Smith for fear of his
strength. and others on account Of his
friendship. Among the latter are
Mr.. Ives and MIR. Shannon. Either of
these gentlemen would make a good
candidate, and il elected would doubt
less make n good delegate. OF the
two. however. the International would
prefer Mr.. Shannon. lie has been Il
resident CT Arizona for Il long term of
years. has done his share toward the
development of the resources of the
territory, has held official positions,
and during all this time no breath of
scandal has been attached to his name.
He is also able to mentally and social
IL reflect credit on Arizona at WASH
ington should he be nominated and
elected. Another and by no means in
significant consideration l. that he l.
also well equipped financially
to conduct vigorous campaign.
Another reason. merely as 4 matter of
policy, why the nomination of Mr..
Shannon would be the best one the
party could make, is that having not
been an active participant in politics
for number of years, he has not en-
Gcudered any bitter animoSitieS, With
the nomination of Mr.. Shannon the In
tcruational believes that the little
rift caused in the party by the struS-
gle between Smith and Wilson would
be healed, the party would present a
united and solid front and again carry
the territory by a handsome majority.

AFTER all the fuss made by the Tue
son Citizen and Senator Ives, Judge
Kent has decided that Auditor Vickers
was not gdilty Of wrong doing in APP
proving warrants on the contingent
fund drawn by Governor Murphy. The
public had been led to expect much
from this case, and the decision there
fore comes a. IA great surprise. Scna-
tor Ives has not acquitted himself with
any great credit in this matter. He
was evidently fooling with a sort of
political boomerang.

last day Of her life than one told today
by a person who knew her. In the ac-
counts of the fire the newspapers said
that the body Of Mrs. Foster had been

HAMMOND ON RHODES.
Says His Faults Were Better Known
Than Virtues.

New York March 2S.-Jchn Hays
Hammond who was for many years
and up to the time of the death of Ce-
Gil Rhodes intimately associated with
him in the development OF South At
rica. was consulting engineer of the
British South Africa Chartered COM
pany and the Consolidated Gold Fields
Of South Africa, in which Mr.. Rhodes
held important interests, had this to
say Of Mr.. Rhodes:
Mr.. Rhodes, whose sun went down
when 1t was yet day, dies in the forty
ninth year of his age. He leaves no
posterity, but leaves his name on the
map Of Africa (Rhodesia). sponsor for
a commonwealth nearly as large as our
western stateg- Had ne lived he would
have devoted the remaining years of
his life and would have spent severy
dollar of his fortune in equipping thaz
commonwealth.
Unfortunately, his character was
misunderstood in America. Judged By
American standards. Mr.. Rhodes was
truly great man. He was not only a
great empire builder but also a cap
tain OF industry He is oftener re-
ported as a shifty. INSCRIPTIONS finan-
cier, in league with capitalists to coax

order 10 steal the mines OF the coun-
try. He is also reported as giving his
entire life TO the amassing Of large
wealth, and ready to employ the most
interruptions methods to that end. But,
by even the most bitter Of his enemies
cOnversant with the facts, such ale
cations are Tapudiated.
''The truth is that Rhodes cared lit
tie for money beyond the power it gave
him tC assist in the development Of
South Africa From a most intimate
connection with him in his business en-
terprises, I am able TO state that his
methods Of finance were not only
scTupulousiy honorable. but were char
acterized by unusual liberality. He
was known to South Africans as
man Of unbounded generosity. and one
on whom they could depend for the
furtheTance Of any deserving local en-
teTprise or worthy charity.
Personally. Mr.. Rhodes was demo-
cratic in his tastes, and colonial in
his political and social bias. He was
fond Of the simpler and better pleas
ures OF life, devoted especially to out
OF door life on the veldt. and had a
CONTEMPT for and disdain Of social con-

which came near being a tragedy. Mr.
Harriman's party started for a horse

LONDON NEWSPAPER ooMmENT
Great Journals of the Metropolis Pre-
sent Varied Opinions.

LoIsdon, March 27.-In estimating the
career of Cecil Rhodes and its effect on
the history CT the British empire. news
paper editors are largely Influenced by
their political views. But the opinion
IS unanimous in the press here that in
spite OF the defects and the limitations
OF MS forceful character few men have
more profoundedly impressed the i'm
agination Of their contemporaries or
played a larger part in the worlds af-
fairs than Cecil Rhodes, and that the
empire IS poorer because of his death.
With the expressions of admiration
for his great services are MINGLED
kindly regrets for the disastrous esti-
mates made in the Jameson raid.
The Standard says: There was a
certain largeness and maganiminitv
even in his failings. He remains an
impressive and inspiring figure and a
real lover of his country, who sacrificed
much to make England great and
powerful
The Daily Mail describes him as the
successor Of Lord Give and Warren
Hastings, and says:
The virulence with which he was
hated abroad IS the measure Of his ser
vice to England"
The Daily Chronicle says:
There was nothing in the career Of
cecil Rhodes to support the charge
mat he was vulgar money grabber
There was nothing small about him;
even his blunders were colossal"
The Daily News, which bitterly at
tacks Mr.. Rhodes, on account of the
Jameson raid. declaring that not even
Randolph Churchill shattered a more
brilliant career by more conspicuous
act of folly, and defends him from the
charges Of money-grabbing
The Daily Telegraps says: IF Cecil
Rhodes was guilty of a great blunder
in 1885 he paid as dearly fer it as his
most bitter foe could wish. Now that
he has passed beyond the reach Of
malignity or CensuTe, only the mag
nifcent services he rendered the en-
pire he loved will be remembered"
The newspapers all devote much
space TO sketches of the career of Mr..
Rhodes. to "reminiscences of the man
and the impression of foreign opinion
concerning him. Much curiosity is
evinced as to the probable disposal Of
his property and interests. Th-[ gem
eral notion is that the bulk Of his
property VIII be beqUeathed not to al
individual, but to public interests in
south Africa, and that DR. jameson
viii be designated to succeed, 50 far
IS anyone can succeed, to the charge
of his Rhodesian interests. Matoppan
Kills, where Mr.. Rhodes wished to be
buried, is the scene of his historic con-
ference with the Matabele chiefs.
