designed for laughing purposes only,
enough bright and witty dialogue be-

scene requires more mechanical skill
and ingenuity than has ever before

depicting a genuine cyclone with

the speed of any modern railroad train

"The Road to Ruin" will be seen in
all its entirety at the Grand Opera
House next Saturday night. The play
as yet never has been seen in this
city, and should, therefore, draw a
crowded house. inasmuch as it created
considerable notoriety during it's run
in New York city, where it had its in
itial production. 1t deals with the
events of the famous badger game
worked by Fayne Moore in New York
city some years ago which caused a
sensation throughout the entire world.
The scenes and events of the Road to
Ruin" have been taken from incidents
connected with that event and have
through the influence of one of the
most famous writers of this class of
plays, been woven together and COM
bined into a well laid plot. Some of
the scenes OF the play are very truth
fully shown, especially the famous
badger game. There are several
scenes of famous New York locations
shown. and with the cast engaged to
present the play good production can
be looked forward to.

Throughout, the plot of the powerful
new comedy drama, "For Love and
Honor" by William w. Lapoint is
thoroughly consistent and coherent
and realistic in the extreme, avoiding
that which tends to the impossible.
For Love and Honor" will be the at
traction at Grand Opera House Thurs
day night, and has drawn large and
appreciative audiences wherever il has
been presented. The story opens in
Vermont on the day of the opening of
a new branch railway built by an am
bilious merchant of a small town to
connect it with the main line. This
he does with view of popularizing
his candidacy for the State Legisla-
ture. A large sum of money is stolen
from his safe. the property OF the rail-
way contractors and by the villains
wiles it is made to appear the pay
master is the guilty one. He separates
the paymaster from his wife and drives
him to enlist in the army and in con-
junction with a band of Wall street
crooks endeavors to cheat the mer-
chant from the possession of a valuable
copper mine On this a terse and
powerful story is told replete with
dramatic incident introducing real

Great Britain could do nothing different in the matter. For more than three centuries it has been
 the rule of the British government
 to protect Britons and their in-
 vestments in all parts of the
 world. Whenever and wherever a
 British trader is imposed upon by
 local authorities a gunboat is sent
 to his relief and a landing party
 sent ashore. A display of force is
 usually all that is necessary and
 full amends are generally instantly
 made, together with restitution and ample indemnity. But, if necessary, (and such is the proud and appropriate boast of Britons) the whole power of the British army and navy will be exerted to compass such restitution and in- demnity. The Boers had done upon colossal scale what Great Britain has time and again inter- posed to check and prevent in all parts of the world. She could do no less. She has made good her word that her sons shall be protected wherever they may be in the wide, wide world. It has been at fearful cost that the imper- ial word has been kept, but it has raised to a loftier height than ever before the potency and power of the protection of the British flag. As for staggering humanity" the lies with those who set at naught that imperial word and detied that imperial power.

"lr IS high time," says the Cop pera Era, ''that business men should be elected to the Arizona legislature" That is what THE OASIS has contended all along. But business men will not stand for the billet. Too much work too little pay-too much cussing too little glory. And there you have it. No man of ability will have the place--so it is left open to such that you must chain up your back yard to keep them from stealing it.

SENATOR DUBOIS declares that it would take 150 years for the Phillipine trade to repay what the islands have cost. The senator should stop and figure how long it took the Louisiana purchase to return first cost. The opponents of that measure, (ninety-nine years ago) said the first cost would be never returned. In the light of later events there is no difficulty in seeing that it was splendid transaction. The Phillipine prop osition will prove out all right.

STAGGERING TO HUMANITY"

The most important news of the week is the termination of the Boer war, the details of which
 have been made familiar to all through the columns of the daily
 press. The occasion is siezed by many of the journalistic guild to parade ghastly array of statistics as to the cost of the war to Great Britian in blood and treasure, and to read homily upon the greed and aggression of the conquering nation. We are told that with 500.000 men in the field, first and last, the official list of British casualties shows the death of 1920 officers; 20,03l enlisted men; off, cers missing and captured 3S4; enlisted men, 9,1S1; making a grand total of all casualties footing up 30416; and an expenditure of $1 1,25O,OOO,OO 100000
 Following the foregoing statistic statements the papers quoted go on to repeat, parrot like, President Paul Kruger's prediction at the beginning of the war that it's cost in lives and treasure "would be staggering to Humanity" Whether that be the actual fact cuts no figure ia this disquisition. What ever the cost of blood and treasure and precious lives, THE OASIS most unhesitatingly, and without any reservation whatever, affirms that the result is aoorth aU it cost
 For the sake of partisan advan- tage, in all parts of the worll, there has been a great deal of mis- representation about the causes for the Boer war and the conditions which led up to it. It has been very popular to represent the Beers as struggling for their in- dependence which Great Britain was endeavoring to destroy in or der to secure possession of the great gold mines which had of late years been developed within the territory of the Transvaal re- public. And we have been gravely assured time and again that it was British greed for gold which was destroying the liberties of two in- i dependent republics"-that tn cause of the Boers was just as holy | as that of the American patriots in our own Revolutionary war. Right there Is the first misrepresentation of the true facts of the situation. British capital atready owned the Rand mines. They were bought with British money from the

Boers, developed with British
 money, the companies owning
 them are British corporations, with
 their official homes in London
 From the very start of their dev- elopment the British owners of those great properties were sub jected to all sorts of impositions and exactions, levied by the Boer government for the benefit of d few favored burghers who made immense fortunes from the mon- opolies granted them, all of which were wrung from the British stock holders in the Rand mines. As an instance it is stated that every stick of dynamite used in those mines had to be bought from a monopoly, the head of which was Paul Kruger, the Presi- dent of the Transval republic; and that Mir. Kruger's individual profits from that monopoly had, up to the time of the breaking out of the war, exceeded thirtv-fve millions of dollars. Before discov- cry of the Rand it is alleged Mir. Kruger's possessions did not ex- ceed in value one hundred thousand dollars. Within a few years thereafter he became many times a millionaire, through manipula- tion of his official position as head of the little South African republic. How much his associates in the dynamite monopoly made has not been stated-but their gains doubt less footed up into the millions. And that was not the only mon-
 
 opoly thrust upon the British owners of the Rand mines by the thrifty Boer burghers.
 These impositions and exactions by the Boer government were long the subject of negotiation between  the companies and President Kruger. Then after many fruit less attempts to secure justice the British mine owners appealed to their home government to protect their vested interests in the Trans vaal. Patiently and with consum- mate skill and tact the London government devoted months of to fruitless effort | toward composition of the diff fculty. But Mir. Kruger and his associates would not listen. TheyI ioould not obondoa their immense They preferred war. They thought that by precipitat- ng war, which they did, and ap- oealing 10 that chivalric sentiment n the hearts of men which always 'ympathizes with the weak against he strong, they would secure oreign intervention, and retain heir monopolies, or, perhaps, vrest from the British owners the ntire Rand properties.

THEODORE H. PRICE
ON COTTON,

New York, Oct. 1.-THE weekly sta
tistical statement of the cotton move
ment made up this evening by the New
Orleans Cotton exchange discloses the
following facts: Amount of cotton com
ing into sight for the week is 45.4S5
against All 982 the same week last year
a deficiency of II, 493 bales The amount
of cotton brought into sight thus far for
the season is 2,303034 against 1,753,276
last year, an excess of $40, 1853 bales.
This excess is entirely due to the heavy
September movement, the in sight move
ment during October being 1876 bales
less thar last year. The visible supply
of American cotton tonight is 1,S63,41
bales against .700987 at the same time
last year. The visible supply of Ameri-
can on September 1st was 77S,000 bales
against 925 900 at the corresponding time
in 1901. 1t IS evident, therefore. that the
world has taken out of sight 100000
bales more during the AZ days of the
present season TO date than during the
corresponding time last year, represent
ing an increased absorption this year
as compared with last of $4,000 bales per
week. OF at the rate Of 1S75,0OO bales
per year.
III the above visible supply Iherc IS
in America this evening only 10000 bales,
against 9S8 900 bales last year. The visi
bic supply in America on September list,
1902. was 100000 bales, against $4,000
bales on the corresponding date last
year. 1t is evident, therefore, that there
has been taken out of America during
Inc A days of the current season to date
| i0S0 900 bales more than was taken out
during tho same period last year These
| figures indicate consumption beyond all
| previous records. My advices are that re-
ccipts have now reached their maximum.
! Only in two years out of the past ten
! has the movement failed to reach it's
maximum BY tho third week of October.
Thereafter it has declined In the two
