The SILVER BELT is not greatly con. cerned about the prediction that a bill forcing joint statehood on Arizona and New Mexico will pass congress at its next session. We rather agree with the Oasis that any such attempt to compel Arizona to accept union with New Mexico can be defeated by the people when they are called upon to vote on n constitution that the practically unani. nous opposition of the voters in Arizo- na, aided by the votes of the disaffected in New Mexico, would be sufficient to defeat the ratification of a constitu- tion. Nevertheless, it is not bad idea to prepare the public mind for such an eventuality and by every means possible to create sentiment against the proposed misalliance.

According to statement emenating from Territorial Auditor w. F. Nich- ols, the operation of the Gowan law fully justifes its enactment Tb9re is reason to beheve that the territory will realize from incorporation fees from Si0, 900 to $50,00O annually which previous to the enactment of the law, was retained by the secretary of the territory. However, the legisle- ture was shortsighted that it did not increase the fees to several times what they now are, and thus enlarge the revenue from that source proportion ately. New Jerseys income from the corporation business amounts to Sl, 400, GOO q year, and the laws of that state are no more favorable to corpor atious than are the laws of Arizona. There is no good reason why this ter ritory should not have an income from foreign corporations organized under its laws, of several hundred thousand dollars

The report that the Rock Island hai decided to construct line of road dI rect from Alamagordo, New Mexico, tc San Diego, California, means that Ari zona will soon have another important trunk line of railroad If the Rock Island builds direct from Aamogordo to San Diego independent of other connections it would probably pass down the Gila river from New Mexico to Yuma. There is an inn pression that the Rock Island has been seeking to reach the coast over the Fl Paso X Southwestern and over the pro- posed Phoenix X Eastern road, but such route would not make good the statement that the Rock Islands new hno to the coast would shorten the dis tance to the coast more thon hup- dred miles, whereas this would be ac. complished over n route that followed the Gila through Arizona. .- Bisbee Review

A Debauched State

Mir. Kennan, Tn his exposition of Ad- dicksism in Delaware before the Reform club, of Boston, did not add any in- formation to that which he had before given the public in his letters in The Outlook. But he compressed the whole startling and dishearteniug story into a single striking speech.
 The most depressing thing about bis disclosures is that he sees no hope for the future Corruption has even got into the church, so that leaders of Methodist classes sell their own vo'e and collect commissions on the votes of their classes Ministers ceGuot de- nounce corruption without losing their places.
 The attorney general of the state, the only official who can take action in cleo. ton cases, has been for nine years Mir Addicks' counsul. Mir Kennan is al most certain that Addicks, two years from now, will buy his way into the United States senate. It is a melau- choly chapter in American politics.

Copper situation Strong

There has been no pronounced change in the copper situation during the past week, although one anamoloul feature of the market has been elm mated, namely quotations on the New York metal exchange have been ad vanced to l5@l5i cents, to agree witl the actual selling price of the meta adhered to by the producers. There has been DO copper sales of consequence made for some time below l5 cents, and as the total sales on the New York Metal exchange during the past thir teen months have aggregated but 5000, 900 pounds of copper, the trans actions upon that board arc not taken seriously.
 There IS unprecedented activity iu the copper and brass trade, and the urgent and strong buying demand Is shown by the statement of John Stan- ton, that all of the copper mines in which he is interested are sold ahead to next August, his last sale having been made at l5s cents per pound Mir, Stanton says he could readily sell all the copper his mines will produce thi- year at an average of l5 cents pe, pound.
 George L. Walker, in his last weekly copper letter, says "Adyices from thr workshops of the largest consuming interests tell a story of activity that is unparalleled in past experience. Brass workers in the Connecticut valley, who for several months have told their cus- toners that they wore three weeks be- hind their orders, have recently sent ont notice that six weeks will for the present be the minimum limit of tune on which deliveries may be expected. An increasing volume of business is reported from all centers. The head of the brass trust is quoted as stating that the concerns under his direction consumed B per cent more copper in the first three months of this year than the corresponding period year ngo.
 Another anomalous condition has been the weakness of copper stocks in the face of strong marke, for the metal This is accounted for by the tightness of the money market, which hss been n deterrent factor of no small proportions, and liable to continue for some time yet

It was not long step for President Roosevelt from the position he occu- pied last year fuvoring moderate revision of the tariff 'by it's friends, " to one of opposition to any changes in the present schedules, at least until after the next presidential election. Therefore there is no occasion to be sur prised by bis speech made at Mime apolis on the tariff question, yet there are not lacking evidences of dIsappoint- meut in parts of the west with the presidents changed attitude If any doubt remained as to the tariff policy of the administration, 1t was dispelled by the speeches recently made by Secretary Shaw and Secretary Root. Tt address of the latter before the Home Market club in Boston was sufficiently explicit Mir. Root declared that no tariff changes should be made while a presidential election is impending, and when the proper time (sic) for revision did ar- rive, the operation should be performed ny frioudly hauds-all of which has very familiar, even chestuutty, sound. The republican leaders, last Tail, hall- " promised revision and other re- forms in the interest of the people, but success iu ;he congressional elections hardened their hearts. They remind one of the couplet

Copper mining pays, notwithstand- ing the many failures. In the Lake Superior district, for instance, total Of sixty or more operating and explor- ing companies have been formed. Rec ords of these, more or less complete, are at hand, and though less than twenty of them have so far reached the dividend stage, the mining industry in that district has been a very successful one. More money has actually been advanced for the development of cop per mines in the Lake district than in any other In the world. An average of three-quarters of a million has been put iuto each of sixty companies, to- tai of about Si6, ,O00,000 Estimate the amount expended in undertakings of which no record is obtainable at S9,OOO, 900, and it appears that total of S55, ,00O, 0CO has been invested in the business of mining copper in the district bordering on the shore of Lake Superior.

FOR PRESIDENT:
HON. A. p. GORMAN,
OF Maryland.
''nEN AND EVENTS"

One of the most interesting
and instructive columns pub
lished daily in the Baltimore
Morning Herald is that written by
Mr.. Paul Winchester, who is
probably better acquainted
with public men than any
journalist in the State. He is
an easy writer, and in his
column in the Herald under the
caption of "Men and Events"
assumes style and range of
subjects that is attracting the
attention of business men and
leaders in politics in every part
of the State. In the Herald of
Wednesday, Mr.. Winchester
had the following regarding
Governor Smith:
These are strenuous times
with his eXcellency, the Cover
nor of Maryland. With his at
tending school commencements
and making addresses to young
men and women as to their
duties in the life before them,
with his long list of addresses
of welcome to prepare for the
numerous conventions to be
held here this summer, with his
business affairs to look after,
and last and most important,
with his senatorial campaign
just opening, he has his hours
filled from morn till eve.
The Governor, however. does
not seem to be worrying about
all these things. He is going
on as calmly and sedately as
usual, smiling at the city and
county politicians who call on
him in large numbers, enduring
with smiling equanimity the
vigorous 'leg-pulling" which
has to be undergone by one i'm
such a position, and altogether
is to all appearances perfectly
unruflied by the trying ordeals
which are enough to drive any
ordinary man to the insane
asylum.
The Governor made up his
mind years ago to be Governor
of Maryland. He succeeded at
last. He also made up his mind
TO be a United States Senator.
He tried to get it in 1892, but
failed. Nothing daunted, he is
trying again, and this time he
is determined not to fail. To
that end he is working night
and day.

CANDIDATES for State offices
are now being brought to the
front by both the Democratic
and Republican parties. Mr..
Warfield has announced that
he is i'm the fight for the Guberna
torial nomination to a finish,
and quite a number of the coun
ty papers of the Republican
persuasion have declared them
selves in favor of Hon. Steven
4. Williams of Hartford County
for the same office. One paper
suggests, that as Mr.. Warfield
does not intend to spend much
money in the contest, and Mr..
Williams is a comparatively
poor man that they might enter
j into an agreement to the end
that no money would be used
-oy either party with which to
purchase votes. Those who
are actively engaged in politics
would not take much stock in
such an argument, because the
Democrats have already made
overtures of a similar character
to the Republicans which were
spurned and ridiculed by the
Republican leaders, and it is
well-known 10y all that money
defeated Hon. James L. Ellie
good for Congress in the First
Congressional District last
year. In every point but one
Mr.. Ellegood was his COMPETE
tors superior-money. 1t did
the work, and his superior
intellect did not cut much of a
figure when the votes were
counted. The only names men
toned for the office of ATTORNEY
General are those of Hon.
Joshua w. Miles of Somerset
and Isaac Lobe Strauss, of Bal
timore. Mr.. Strauss PLAYED
politics in the Legislative SEES
sion of 1902 and he was anathe-
matized by nearly every Demo
cratic newspaper in the State.
We do not know how the others
feel on the subject but we have
not quite forgotten the session
of 1902, and the principal actors
therein.
