PhiIadeIphia Convention

A. S. Meserve, warden of the New
Castle county workhouse. is attending
the National Prison Association in
philadelphia. Yesterday the whipping
post was discussed and Warden Me-
serve put himself on record as oppos-

which preserves the whipping-post and
pillory. and the law requires that the
warden is the person who must ply the
whip.
Warden Meserve says he does not be-
lieve in the whipping-post 1t is not
used on first offenders. and he believes
that to old offenders it has no terrors
because their moral as we'll as then
physical fibre is usually tough. The
other day. for instance. he says he
whipped a fellow for the sixth time.

DEMOCRACY AND STATEHOOD.

Two years ago democrats ignored the argument that statehood de- pended on the election of a delegate in harmony with the administrator. A democrat was elected and the state hood bill is in the same hole it has been for the past dozen years or more. Democrats two years ago said that there is no politics inJ the ad mission of state, in the face of the struggle that has oce drrcd over ad- mission of states for the past half century and more. They argued that men elected to congress were too high minded to be actuated from partisan motives. This year they have attuned their political song on different key. Mark Smith now tells us that the democrats in the senate will not vote for statehaod unless Arizona goes democratic, and he is already been echoed by all the
 small fry democratic speakers and
 the democratic press of the territory. Of course the inconsistency of this is apparent to any one. The idea of being compelled to elect a delegate not in political harmony with the ad- ministration or with the majority of congress, but that the people of Arl- zona must cater to the minority in order to accomplish their purpose is so ndiculously absurd that Mark Smith must be presuming on the Courier's much talked of Ignorance in Arizona" to win votes. That there is large undercurrent of opposition to statehood in the territory Is fact well known, while there is no open opposition to it, and Mark is evi- dently appealing to this class in covert, indirect way, as he certainly knows his assertion will not be taken seriously by thinking people. No man who really wishes to express his desire for statehood by his vote in November will vote for the demo- cratic nominee. After all there is whole lot of buncombe any way in this continuous howl about statehood which we have heard for the past dozen or more years.

 The republican party of this county also pledges its candidates for legislative positions to do every thing within their power to reduce the fees of the sherif's office to at least one half of the present rate, as We consider said fees exorbitant and entirely out of proportion to the ser vices rendered and should no longer be paid by an already over taxed people.

TO TIE TAXPAYERS.

The following resolutions were adopted by the republican convention of Yavapai county, and covering as they do the future government of the county by republican success are worthy of consideration in the line of retrenchment and reform which is pledged accordingly:
 Resolved, That we pledge our nom- inees for the legislature to work and vote for legislative bill fixing the salaries of all county officers at a fixed and certain sum per annum, and that all fees collected by any officer of county be turned into the county treasury, and that no county officer receive any other or further sum by way of fees or otherwise except the salary to be fixed by law.
 Resolved, That the rate of taxation in the Territory of Arizona is exces- sive, and we hereby pledge our nom inees for the legislature and the board of Supervisors to thoroughly investigate this subject, and to en- deavor to lower the present exorbitant rate of taxation by the enactment of proper legislative laws and by just and equitable taxation Of all property in the Territory of Arizona.

STATEHOOD AND PATRIOTISM.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
 under the head of "The Contest in the Territories" says:
 Probably the result of the election of delegates Tn the territories will have some effec on their chances for admission to statehood in the coming session of congress. At the present time Arizona has a democratic dele gate in the house of representatives, while New Mexico and Oklahoma are represented by republicans. Under the present republican conditions it is expected that Arizona will join the other territories on the republican side in November. It is said that a great deal of interest is taken in the canvass in the three territories named and large vote is promised in each.
 The partisan loanings of a terri tory, of course, should not have any influence for or against its chances for statehood. Population, intelIi- gence, business importance and pros poets are the things which should de- termine the fitness of territory for the larger duties incumbent on states. But, as every one knows, the partisan attitude of territory often has a big effect on its prospects for Each party is guided, in a considerable degree, by political considerations in the matter of ad- mitting states. This has been ihe case from the beginning of the gov ernment. The partisan fights waged on the question of the admission of Missouri in 1Sl9-2l; California in 1850 and Kansas in 1S55-61 are his toric.
 It is to be hoped, for their own welfare, aside altogether from the effect which they would have on their chances for admission, that the three territories now looking for statehood will be carried by republicans in No vember. Such an alignment would undoubtedly add to their chances of admission, providing the republicans carry congress in the coming cleo tion, and they probably will The ques tion of admission will come up in the senate early in the coming ses- sion of congress. and the prospects are that it will pass. The territories themselves, however, can render ad- reasonably certain by rolling up good sized republican majorlties few weeks hence.

The name of Richard Croker was not shouted at Saratoga. The name of his prototype, Devery, was more resounding and scarcely less forceful
 After the democrats having a plat form manufactured to order two years ago, after the close of the demo- cratic convention, and after the ter rife efforts put forth by the Courier to have it palmed of on the people as a genuine article, that paper is naturally suspicious about platforms. Judging republicans from a demo- cratic standard, it suspects them of practicing the same sort of deception which it did two years ago.
 Democrats are moving heaven and earth to keep the rank and file in line at the coming election. 4 core spondent of the Courier this morning makes a strong appeal to their sympathies and prejudices by charging the coal strike in Pennsyl- vania to the republican party. This is about as far fetched as anything that has appeared in print yet. Much as one may sympathize with the striking miners or bitter as he may feel towards the coal operators, neither the republican or democratic ticket in this county can have any effect on it. If Arizona politics are to be m huenced in any way by that strike, the republican party should be the one favored, as it has been through the efforts of a republican president that the coal strike is being brought to an end. There is, however, some thing more potent than the coal strike to appeal to tine voters here, and that Is the present condition of affairs in this county when the taxes are at a point which coal barons would consider good rate Of interest on their money. If voters do rot permit themselves to be side-;racgei on issues which have no bearing on their interests, and if they will vote according to their interests the re- publican party will be victorious.

THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE.

The anthracite coal miners and their families number about 100000 people. Of this number about 140,- GOO are voters. If these chaps could ever get educated to vote as solidly as they strike, they would soon be able to regulate matters without striking, and in a far easier and more sensible way. The trouble with them has been that they vote for the same crowd that they strike against. Courier.
 Our contemporary has made a wrong diagnosis of the above case. About 10000 of the 10000 workers are boys under age, and of the re maining 100000 it is safe to say that S0,000 and probably 90,00O of them are not American citizens, hence not voters. It is also safe to say that seventy-tve per cent of those who are voters vote the straight democratic ticket, as that party comes nearer represent.iy the socialistic and anarchistic tendyncies inherited by them in their native country and brought to the United States than any other party in this coun-ry. They vote solidly enough now, that is those who do vote, but in supporting the democratic party they vote the wrong way. If there were enough of them to carry elections their way, they certainly would soon be able to regulate matters without striking" as our contemporary says, having in mind probably the way matters settled themselves during Cleyeland's administration, when the only strikes were for bread and work.

MT. Devery has joined the ranks of the representatives who do not repre- sent. It Is but just to add that he tried to do his part, but was not al lowed to do the convention.
 During the Grand Army encamp- ment in Washington, a former mem Der of Mosby's Guerillas entertained fifteen members of the G. A. R. Thus old time differences are buried in the patriotic pride of the pre- sent.
 It is no discredit to President Roos- evelt to say that today he occupies a more prominent place in the eyes of Europe than even Emperor Will liam. Europe is interested in trusts more than it is in military glory, just at present, and Roosevelt is to Europe the embodiment of the fight against them.
 A prominent democrat, and one of the old hickory stripes, who votes a straight ticket as a rule every time. remarked recently that the ghost of old Joe Walker, one of the best men Yavapai county ever had, would haunt every ballot box in the county on election. Wonder what he meant by the remark?
 We'll well. Mir. Bird s. Coler, a trust magnate, on an antitrust plat form! But democrats sometimes do queer things.
 Whether he prove successful or not, President Roosevelt has earned the gratitude of the American people by his efforts to end the coal strike.
