GOVERNOR MURPHY STEPS OUT.

Governor Murphy will retire from high office tomorrow to make room for his successor-Col. A. O. Brodie The retiring governor has served two terms in Arizona and a longer time than any of his predecessors. Many former governors have bean removed but We believe Murphy is the first to resign. His administration has never been Sc. verely criticised, though by his politi- cal acts he has made many bitter enemies, especially within his own party. He has always been an inde- fatgable worker for the welfare of Arizona and has accomplished much in directing capital to the develop ment of our resources. and for this he deserves praise. .-9f's@
 The greatset mistake of Murphy's political career was made when he represented Arizona in congress and was the cause of the passage of the refunding bill, which legalized the railroad bonds issued by Yavapai and Pima counties in aid of railroads which had previously been held to he void by the courts.

It is stated that the ex-governor will return. togPrescott to make his futures homo He has always been populjr thefe. notwithstanding the bond legislation. He has many warm personal and political friends through out the territory who will wish him success in the retirement of private life It was at one time reported that he Would go to Washington and engage in the practice of law. but no doubt he will prefer to remain in Ari- zopa, where he has lived so long.
 Success to N. O. Murphy, private citizen.

NEW YORK TIMES AND STATEHOOD.

The New York TinIes continues its opposition to the admission 6f the territories to statehood. It argues that Arizona and Oklahoma should not be admittedi into the sisterhood of-states because they would each have two United States senators, thus giving them equal strength in the senate with the great and populous state of New York If the theory of the Times, as applied to the admission of new states had prevailed in the past, how many territories could ever have been ad- mitted to the union. It has been shown three territories are better qualified to assume the responsibilities of self government than a large number of the present states at the time of their admission Why should a rule be in voked now. that if followed to its logi- cal conclusion would forever keep these territories from the boon of statehood and the right of self-govern- ment? What state must we become equal to, according to the logic of the Times, before we will be eligible to sit in the national circle and councils? Ari- Zona, the smallest of the three terri tories, has a greater population than Nevada or Wyoming. What state must it equal before it is entitled to state hood? Must it equal Indiana, Iowa or Missouri, or will the Times consent to Arizonas admission when it can claim a population equal to Colorado or Nebraska?
 New Mexico now has a greater pop ulationr than the four states of Dele ware, Idaho. Wyoming or Nevada Must New Mexico equal Illinois in population before the New York Times will agree to have this territory be- come a state?
 Oklahoma, the largest of the three territories now seeking admission, has larger population than either of the states of Vermont, North Dakota, Stdu, ioutdid, DticWdIc, luduO, wy oming or Nevada What state must Oklahoma equal in population before it is entitled to assume statehood?
 The Times in its recent editorials makes no objection to the admission of the territories on the ground of their lack of wealth to sustain state government or because of the charac- ter of the citizens living within their borders. The sole objection is put forth on the ground of population.
 If the Times objects to unequal rep resentation in the senate it should ad- vocate a reform of present conditions. Will it be any worse for Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma to have an equal representation in the senate with New York than it is for Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho and the Daoktas to enjoy that privilege? In asking for admission to statehood these territories are ask ing for no more than in the past has been granted to other territories.
 Let the Times name the state now in the union whose population must be equalled by the territories as a condition warranting their admission or withdraw its objection on that score.

Over in Missouri last week the re publican state convention passed a res olution declaring that Roosevelt should be the nominee in 1904 When it is known that the Missouri convention was controlled completely by Richard Kerens, the national republican com. mitteemen from Missouri, who hates the President like satan does holy wa. ter, and who is the trusted lieutenant of Mark Hanna, MT. Roosevelt will not rely on the resolution as alone bein. sufficient to guarantee for him the votes from Missouri in the convention of 1904. When the votes from Missou ri goes for Roosevelt Mir Kerens will be political corpse, if Mark Hanna beckons the votes his way.

The democrats and populists have again nominated a fusion state ticket in Nebraska
 The nomination of governor was han ded to MT. Bryan by a unanimous vote of both conventions. It wal. decline1 by the free siver advocate and then the nomination went to another dem- ocrat- The remainder of the state ticket was made up on the half and half plan. Nebraska is a very close state. and the result this fall will be watched with interest throughout the country. The fusion platform gives strong endorsement to both the Chi. cago and Kansas City platforms. If it is MT. Bryan's intention to fight for the endorsement of these platforms in 1904 he will probably be disappinted

CUBA IN .- e VERY BAD SHAPE.

VERY BAD SHAPE. a-r
 The news from Cuba is of the most discouraging character. The near ap- proach to starvation in many sections of the Island shows that the majority in the United States senate have as stunned a very grave responsibility in refusing to afford the measure of re- lief carried in the reciprocity bill.
 All reports received from the sugar. producing sections declare that there is a constant increase of poverty and distress, and serious prospects for the coming days. The gOvrnment is con- sidering an increase of the number of the rural guard, which, public opinion insists, is necessary for protection.
 In recent interviews several leading merchants and bankers of Havana as serted that there was complete stag nation of business throughout the country. and all are seeking 10 close outstanding accounts preparatory to weathering the coming days of com mercial paralysis.
 In government matters. as in indus trial. the country is faced by financial Restitution. Assertions of the sound financial condition in which the gov ernment was left by the Americans are wholly unsupported by facts. Otherwise officials would net be obliged to spend so many hours of anxious discussion in an effort to discover some method of securing the neces- sary reven la and put money into cir culation through the country, which would enable thousands of impoverish- cd persons to live by honest labor.
 President Roosevelt has practically closed up his work in Washington and expects to spend July and August at his home at Oyster bay, where all public bushes will be transacted. The President has been under a severe strain since last January. The meas ures before congress have been of unusual magnitude and many republi- can senators and congressman have ben stubborn in their disagreement with administration policies, but aside from the Cuban reciprocity bill MT Roosevelt has substantially succeed ed having his way though he has had to brin into action his most strenous and determined character on several occasions. The President deserves a good vacation and it is hoped that he will enjoy it thoroughly

Sofia, Oct. 19.-An open air conven-
ton here by the Macedonian commit
tee was attended by 10000 people. M.
Michailowski, president of the local
committee, described Turkish misrule
in Macedonia and was loudly cheered.
The meeting passed one resolution ap-
proving the revolutionary movement
and another condemning Turkish
atrocities. 1t is reported that Turkish
troops have occupied the Kresna pass,
thus becoming master of the Siruma
Valley, and that all the insurgent posi-.
ions are now untenable.

Lumber in Cotton Class.

Many Of the insurance companies
are now canceling their policies in
this State on lumber. Lumber, like
cotton, has always been insured by
blanket policies with a co-insurance
clause. When the companies took
action on cotton, refusing to issue
any more blanket policies, at the
beginning of this season, lumber
policies were not disturbed, and the
rule as to lumber was not changed.
heecntly, however, a heavy lumber
less in South Mississippi called the
attention of the companies to the
fact that their blanket policies on
lumber with the co-insurance clause
were collectable, under the decision
Of the Supreme Court, for their face
value, and hat no deduction could
be made for failure Of the insured
to keep the lumber fully insured.
This discovery has been causing a
wholesale cancellation Of lumber pol
Ines.

to . White Woman the Cause of
the Trouble-Troops Hurried
to the Scene.

Birmingham. Ala, Oct. ia ter
rife race riot is on at Littleton in the
western part Of the county, twenty-five
miles west of Birmingham, and there
is no telling how many people have
been shot and killed.
A meager report from the place says
that three men are dead, and eight
negroes either dead or fatally injured.
Sheriff Burgin was called on for assist
ance and at 1890 o'clock he sent out
a heavily armed posse.
The operator at Littleton at 10
o'clock wired to the city that forty
armed white men were in his office
waiting for the posse and II the off.
GERS were not there before morning
there was going to be very serious
times In the place.

battle followed and the white men
were worsted, one of them being shot
to death. The white men were forced
to retire but succor soon arrived and
the negroes We're put to fight. Rein.
forcements for them arrived also.
There has been shooting all night at
the place and it will be morning be.
fore the result will be known.
The Victims.
James Thompson, white, was shot in
the abdomen.
The white man who was shot
through and through and killed in
stantly, went to work yesterday for
the Sloss-Shefield Company. His name
was not known by the operator. One
white man is missing. A gang Of ne
groes broke into a magazine and stole
a lot of ammunition but it was recap
tured. The arrival Of the posse will
probably end the riot, though the re-
ports from Littleton say there is great
excitement and everybody is armed to
the teeth.
Appeal From Citizens.
The following telegram was received
by Sheriff Burgin at $50 o'clock:
"Littleton, Ala: White man shot
dead and one missing; negroes armed
and highways blockaded. Things are
serious. Send posse here on 10 o'clock
train without fail.

ed that three white men and eight ne
groes were dead.
List of Casualties.
A newspaper man who has just ar
rived from Littleton reports the stu
alton fully as serious as reported. So
far he has obtained the following list
of casualties and says there are many
more to come:
UNKNOWN MAN, shot dead.
JOE THOMPSON, white, shot in
bowels, serious.
IRA CREEL, white, missing. was.
with Thompson.
JOHN BAER. negro, shot in heel.
WILL TOLBERT, who shot Thomp-

Case Dismissed.

A young farmer Of Choctaw coun-
ty was arraigned before the Federal
District Court at Aberdeen last week
on the charge of retailing liquors
without revenue license. The testi-
mony developed that a gallon Of
whisky had been ordered by mail
for Christmas use, and that the
young man had yielded to solicita-
tons Of a friend and sold him a half
pint of the liquor, and that was all
that he had sold. Judge Niles dis
missed the case with the declaration
that the transaction did not consti-
tute a retail dealer under the United
States statutes, but that if the man
had been a younger about town." in
possession of a gallon of whisky, the
circumstances would have been diff
ferent and more suspicious.
Purchase of Beauvoir Not Contaminated.
Much to the disappointment of
many delegates, the purchase of
Beauvoir was not consummated be-
fore the adjournment Of the Sons of
Veterans at Jackson last week. The
matter was brought up for discus
sion on report of Treasurer George
G. Meyers, showing $3.50 available
and the proposition to borrow the
additional amount necessary dis
cussed. It was the sentiment of the
convention that no debt should be
contracted, and after a rather
lengthy deliberation it was decided
to appoint Treasurer Meyers as
agent to canvass the State and col
lect the amount needed from the
subscriptions made, but which have
not been paid.
Gen. Meyers was authorized, as
soon as he gets the $4,000 in hand,
to receive the deed from Judge A. C.
Kimbrough, who is acting as agent
for Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and to pay
over the purchase price.
The board of directors will meet
and elect the board of managers for
the Beauvoir home Immediately after
the transfer takes place. The con-
vention then adjourned sine die.
