CHINESE WASTE PAPER.
Every Scrap With Printed Charnc-
ter Upon II Is sacred.

You will never find upon the street
or in the rubbish heap scrap of pa
per with Chinese characters written
or printed upon it. An intelligent
Chinaman. questioned as to the rea
son. explained the matter in this way:
"Melican man never tears up and
flows in stlcct his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee lifting all same to Chinaman as

Then he still further elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the eel
lar of a Race street house, in which.
piled up before a gigantic furnace,
were bundles of paper and sacks of lei
tiers and newspapers printed in Chi
nese hieroglyphics.
Interpreted into plain English the Old
Chinaman's story was that the orieu

as so sacred that this furnace was cs-

Former Perfumes.

Our forefathers were great people for
scents and perfumes. fragrant herbs
and spices, and the astonishing amount
of seasoning they put with the simplest
dishes prepares one for almost any
combination. When to make chen!
tart they found it necessary to make
a strip of cinnamon, ginger and ''sawn-
ders" and TO add rosewater to the
icing, one can imagine how they set 10
work to cook Il cOrmorant. PERHAPS
if we remind our readers that many
chambers were provided with drafts
which occasionally required cleaning
and that rushes took the place of car
pets they will realize one of the rca-

revels or on the mattresses and bed

A True Poem.

How hard it is to tell what makes a
true poem, a lasting poem! When one
asks himself what it is, how many
things arise, how hard TO narrow the
list down to a few things. Is it beau
ty? Then what is beauty? one meets
with beautiful poems every day that he
never thinks of or recurs to again. 1t
is certain that without one thing there
is no real poetry-genuine passion. The
fire came down out of heaven and con-
sumed Elisha's Offering because Elisha
was sincere. Plan and build your poem
never so deity, mankind will not per-
manently care for it unless it has gen
uiIe feeling. 1t must be imprisoned.

Mark Hanna's slogan was let well enough alone" and during the sue ceeding two years, the trusts increas- ed at an alarming rate. Competition was stified and protected by the high tariff these monsters have continued to rob the people at home while they have sold their products to foreign countries from 25 to 50 per cent cheaper. This is the condition the American citizen confronts today and when the rank and file of the repub- lican party pray in their platforms for relief. the boss of that party issues the order to stand pat"
 The all powerful trusts have fas- teneded their tenacles around the re publican party and the government machinery of this country and now the leader of the republican party tells the people of this country that the trusts, represented by Hanna, Foraker ct al, propose to stand pat"
 The trusts, which is the creature of the republican party, will be its death. The people of the country have at last got their eyes open. They are asking that the tariff be reduced on those articles manufactured by the trusts. but they have been plainly told NO. The people are not in control of the republican party. Its destiny is fixed by the monopolies.
 The democratic party stands where it has always been, in favor of . re- duction in tariff, for the benefit of the whole people as against the few. This is the issue and the people of the United States know the party that will give them relief.

COCHlSE COUNTY TAX RATE

In speaking of the county tax rate of Cochise county the Miner has the following:
 They (the board of supervisors) did not lower the rate of taxation, but raised one hundred cents on the dol. lar. The excessive valuation has caused the tax payers to have to pay a higher rate of territorial taxes, and it is a fact that the dem ocratic party cannot deny that Cochise county is today compell- ed to pay one-ffth of the taxes of the whole territory, or in other words, the tax payers, owing to the efforts of the democratic supervisors to deceive them. are being compelled to pay one fifth of the running expenses of the territory of Arizona, while the other twelve counties pay but four-fifths be- tween them. Is this just? Is it right Will not the tax payers hesitate be fore they vote for another democratic board of supervisors? The same thing pertains to the legislature. Will the taxpayers send democratic mem bers there to insure the already heavy burden that is being imposed upon them? We think not
 We are grieved to think that one who aspires to represent this county in the next legislative assembly, should display such gross ignorance of the sheriff of this county at $4,000, while the statutes say that the office of sherifi is fee office. Now this same editor comes out with the startling declara tion that Cochise county this year will pay one-fifth of the taxes of the territory of Arizona. This would indeed be a startling state of affairs if true, because it is a wei known fact that the taxable property of Cochise county, at a reasonable valuation, does not equal one-fifth of the entire territory. In fact, Cochise county's proportion of the taxable wealth of Arizona is as follows:
 Taxable property Ari-
 zona -. ... -. ..$32, 900 900 co Taxable property Co
 chise county .... 4,O50, 484 7l From these authentic figures, the Miner will agree with the Review that Cochise county pays about one: eighth of the running expenses of the territory, and we do not know of any property in the county that has beer assessed for more than it is worth Counties pay their proportion of the territorial tax, according to their as sessed valuation. Maricopa county for instance. is assessed at $10,000. 900, and on this basis pays about onethird of the running expenses oi the territory, which is just and equit able. The Miner has simply jumped up another "bogie man" and the Re view has been compelled to knock him down before he got a good start

THE ORACLE HAS SPOKEN

The republican campaign has open ed in Ohio with Mark Hanna, Senator Foraker, and Secretary of War Root in the main points. The utteranoes of the leaders of the republican party in Ohio has been watched for with a great deal of interest by the republi canS and democrats all over the coun- try. The withdrawal of Speaker Hen derson from the congressional race in Iowa, on account of the antagonistic position assumed by the party of his state regarding the tariff question, has been the sole topic of conversa- tion in political circles for the past two weeks. Speaker Henderson saw plainly the handwriting on the wall and got from under the impending av- alanche. What influence the action of Speaker Henderson would have with other leaders of his party was anx- iously awaited. The climax was reached in Ohio on Saturday when the republican leaders threw down the gauntlet on the tariff question, and Mark Hanna commanded the re- publicans to stand pat"
 In a speech at Akron, Ohio, Mark Hanna said on Saturday:
 "A year ago it was my privilege to attend the opening of the republican campaign, and after looking the situa don over, I came to the conclusion that I should give you a piece of ad- vice: Let well enough alone That was the whole chapter that there was in the campaign Today I say. stand pat. Senator Foraker and Secretary Root have made reference to the i'm portance of retaining a republican ma tority in the house of representatives All the success of the administration in continuing the policy of MT. Me Kinley and President Roosevelt is de pendent upon the question of keeping in power a republican majority in con gress. I believe the tarif is good enough as 1t is."
 The command of the boss of the republican party and the staunch friend of the trusts, is to stand pat.
 In the opinion of MT. Hanna the tariff is good enough as it is-that is for the interests of the trusts The Iowa republicans who in their plat form declare for . revision of the tar fn in the interest of the people and asainst the mcnopolies, are told by fhe 'boss" to "go away back and si down" Mark Hanna is the boss o the party erd win make the issue. tt suit himself.

Cochise county will poll the largest vote in its history at the coming No vember election, and from present in. dications the democrats will carry the county by not less than three hun dred majority. Advices from Naco and Douglas are to the effect that both places are overwhelmingly dem ocratic.
 Bob" Morrison, the republican can didate for congress. is a dead duck in Maricopa county. The Mormon vot- CTS of that county know the feelings of the republican candidate against ! their people and are taking an active part to accomplish his defeat
 James Howell, whose name appears on the democratic ticket for the as- sembly, is proving an exceptionally strong candidate. His friends, who know him intimately, say he is emi- nently fitted for the position and will make Cochise county one of the best representatives we ever had. James O'Conpell and Steve Roemer add strength to the entire ticket. Roemer has had two years experience and has shown that he is alive to the in terests of this county. Around Phoe- pfv ssCfovo', fc ovfrov,,o1 nop,,Jor and during the last session, was a great favorite in both houses. Judge O'Connell is a lawyer of ability and will be a power in the next legisla- ture. His thorough knowledge of the statutes will make him a valuable member of the judiciary committee Every man on the legislative ticket is deserving of the support of a united democracy, and the democrats must bear in mind that the next legislature in Arizona must be democratic
