AN EXHIBITION OF BLEEDING.

%--
 jured, and last week gave an exhibi ton of bleeding that has been enough to melt a heart of stone, much less the kind and sympathetic creature that guides the destiny of the Review
 The Copper Era, in casting about for
 meat for an editorial, hit upon the Review for an easy mark. and in a tumble of misstatements regarding the eight hour law, charged The Review with securing the passage of the bill and added that millions of dollars had been diverted to Mexico as a conse- quenoe-all of which was false and the Era knew it was so at the time. The Review has become accustomed to obstreperous individuals, looking The Review the little Era has crawled into it's hole and covered itself with a mantle of virtue and dignity that al this distance is truly touching. The Review apologises for having hurt the Bras feelings and caused a shock to the gentleman's m0desty. but it re mained alone for the Era to make this discovery Whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad" and the editor of the Copper Era is very. very mad.
 After calling the Review and its editor bad names to the extent of half a column. which to a certain ex- tent relieved his pent up spirits. the Copper Era commences again to dis c0ss the eight hour law and at the Same time make another show of its ignorance. There is nothing in the bellowings of the Copper Era. at this time, and the injection of the eight hour law into its columns is a lame excuse for lot of cheap political bun comhe dictated to the editor of the Era by the faithful followers of the G. Q. P. in the Clifton Morenci district.
 The Review did say that the G. O. P. in Arizona, at the last election. was placed in the same class with enn- tleman named Pete Kitchen. lately returned from Sonora, and the present Attitude of the Copper Era will tend to make this condition worse at the next one. As The Review stated in a previous article, the miners had de- manded an eight hour law. They lad made the reGnest two years pre- vious and had been turned down a"i hsf re-entered the contest with determination to win. If tie eigh. hour law had not been passed. the Era would have seen a succession of strikes and demands aimed at almost every mining company in the territo. Colorado and Utah have long 6go passed through the same expert ence with the result that the eight hour law is now enforced in those states.
 ] The published statement in the Era to the effect that the passage of the eight hour law had been a serious drawback to Arizona and that Mil lions had been diverted to Mexico as . consequence was what The Review objected to. During the past six months mining in Arizona has never been more active. New companies have been organized during the past 6 months, since the passage of the eight hour law and have come to Arizona to develop their properties, and the at tempt of the Era to show horrible state of affairs that does not exist, is indeed small business. It has at last been driven into the open aud has arrayed itself against the working men of this territory in their endeav- or to secure a shorter working day underground and has allied itself with the classes against the masses. where according to the teachings of the re- publican party you may always ex- pect to find an organ of that stripe.
 The Review denies the charge that the mining industry of Arizona has been injured as a consequence of the passage of the eight hour law The eight hour day for miners is in exist ence all over the west and Arizona was too tardy, if anything. in falling into line. The eight hour law has come to stay in this territory, the Copper Era and the c. O. P. to the contrary notwithstanding.
 We hope the Era won't be offended at this article. We know, that the ErA's home Is in a town of such beau uful morals and virtue that a person from Bisbee feels like taking off his hat while crossing the bridee
