has this to say regarding the status of the statehood bill: When I left Washington last Saturday, statehood had much more than an even chance for passage, but l want to say that any assertions that Senator Quay will weaken in his efforts to secure the passage of the omnibus bill is without authority. The Pennsylvania sena- tor will not only push the bill with all of his marvellous ability during the remaining days of this session but if an extra session is called he will attach the measure to the appropria- tion bill and fight it out to a finish, and if he fails then, he will devote the remaining four years of his term to pushing this measure to his utmost. He is in this fight with all the earnest ness and force of great mind and nothing can daunt or stay him until he succeeds. I have Mark Smiths word for this and as Mark sits at his side in the senate every day and sup plies him with ammunition to demol- ish his opponents, it is evident that Marks knows what he is talking about"

INCREASING JURY FEES,

House Bill No. 26, introduced b. MT. Henry, of Gila county, provides that hereafter, each juror for eacl days attendance on court shall bt paid by the county, three dollars, an, for each mile actually and necessarily travelled by the juror from his resi- dence 10 the court, twenty cents to bs computed one way only, and to b, paid by the county.
 The bill is a just one. The pc diem jury fee has been s2 in the pas which is not enough to pay board at a first-class hotel. All other officer: required 10 attend court receive am pie pay for their time and we do no believe it is right to require a man t' attend court as 8 juror without least paying enough to meet his actua expenses. --.-.

4 PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

Kean St Charles has introduced primary election law for Arizona. The measure, if enacted, will place every candidate for office, and candi- date for party nomination, on his merits before the people. The pri- mary election for all political parties will be held ou the same day and un- der the Australian ballot system. The name of all candidates for Q Domina- tion on any party ticket will be print ed on the ballot to be used under ap- propriate headings and vignettes des- ignating the several parties. 4 man when he goes into the primary cleo ton booth will choose the party which he desires to affiliate with and desig- mates his choice of candidates 10 make up the ticket of that party in the general election. The expenses of the primary election is to be paid by the county and it is to be held in accordance with the law regulating general elections. On the ballots will appear the candidates for the centra committeeman of the county and ter ritory. The Review is in favor Of tht primary election system for nominat ing political candidates and hopes ( see Mir. St. Charles push his meas ure successfully.
 The primary election law has it. advantages and is in successful op eratioD in many of the states of tho union. It places the nomination O any candidate for office absolutely in the hands of the rank and file o that party and under its provisions the political boss" and wire puliel who does an active and Lucrative business about convention time' would find himself completely out O a job.

The bill now in the legislature which provides for five members of the boards of supervisors in first class counties is not a desirable one in cur opinion, but we heartily en- dorse the proposition to divide the counties into supervisorial districts. As Q rule the board of supervisors, as now composed, are slow enongh in transacting public business, and if there were five members instead of three, the business would be simply confused and delayed.

There is a bill in the legislature which provides that common councils of incorporated towns shall be al lowed 10 determine whether or not they will publish their proceedings. We presume that this bill is proposed for the purpose of relieving small villages from the expense of publish ing council proceedings. This would be all right, but the bill should be amended so that it will only affect the small villages.

PRESIDENT NOT SATISFIED
Explanation Given Him By Sena-
tor Dietrich Not Satisfactory.
Considers Charges Made Against
the senator OF Selling Pos Of
flee Worthy of Attention.

Washington, Nov. 23.-In order to be
on hand promptly to answer the
charges of selling a post Office appoint
ment at Hastings, Neb., and if possible
hasten his trial, Senator Dietrich left
Washington Saturday night for Ne
braska,
Twelve hours after he left the capital,
w. s. Summers, United States district
attorney, who is to prosecute the case,
arrived in Washington to answer to a
hurry call from President Roosevelt
and Attorney-General Knox. 1t is de-
clared that the president is rot fully
satisfied with the explanations given
him by Senator Dietrich. Nor is he
satisfied with the information on hand
giving the details of the evidence with
which Attorney Summers expected to
prosecute and upon which the grand
jury found its indictment.
For several days the long-distance
telephone wire between Washington
and Nebraska has been busy with ques-
tons from the attorney generals office
and answers from Mr.. Summers. This
method of gaining information was
finally given up in disgust, and Mr.. Sum-
mers was ordered to take the next train
to Washington.
Senator Dietrich did not know that
Mr.. Summers was coming to Washing
ton. He left for Nebraska with the
intention of obtaining an immediate
connection with the district attorney
through his own counsel, and in con-
junction with him and Judge Munger
to get an advance of his trial on the
docket, so that the case can be prompt
ly taken up and disposed of.
Mr.. Summers, when seen sunday
night, absolutely refused to discuss the
matter in any phase. His only remark
was that he had not expected to come
to Washington at this time, and was
anxious to get back as soon as posi-
BILE. He had a long interview with Mr..
Knox.
The sudden summons given Mr.. Sum-
mers to come to Washington, together
with other occurrences of the week, in
dictates the intense interest which the
president is taking in this sensational
indictment of a United States senator
for selling patronage. There appears
to be every effort to clear Senator Diet
rich of the charge, but as the latter's
political opponents are watching every
move, it is realized that the case must
be handled with the utmost are.

ANXIOUS TO END SESSION.
Reached to Vote on the Cuban
Bill December 10.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The senate
will begin the week in a state of I'M
certainty as to whether a final adjourn
ment of the extra session will be Sc
cured during the week or the regular
daily sessions continued. A majority
of the senators are anxious to bring the
session to a close, and to this end an
agreemH mt has been practically entered
into for a vote December 16 on the
Cuban reciprocity bill. The acquies-
cence of the house of representatives
in the programme, however, has not
been secured, and until the two houses
reach an agreement no definite an
nouncement can be made. Leading
senators on the whole are rather con
fident that ar adjournment will be
brought about, and say it will be i'm
possible to hold a quorum Of either
body after Thanksgiving.

MORROW AND BARRETT TRIAL,
of Conspiracy and Fraud Against
the Government.

st. Louis, Nov. 23.-By agreement
between f. w. Lehman, attorney for
Al W. Morrow, charged in the federal
court with naturalization frauds, and
District Attorney Dyer, the trial of
Morrow, was set for tomorrow.
Morrow is indicted jointly with
Thomas E. Barrett for aiding and abet-
ting in securing naturalization papers
for aliens with the intent to use the
same for registering and voting, and
upon an additional charge of conspir-
ing against the government.
The indictments against Morrow
and Barrett charge that they procured
false naturalization papers for ten Ger
a living in st. Louis county, and
that the said Germans used the same
for registering and voting without
making application or making oath be-
fore any court of record that they
were entitled to the papers.
The charge against Barrett is prac-
tiCaliy the same as that upon which
he was convicted in connection with
the Italian naturalization cases, tried
last week.

~Inevery country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a neverfailing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:

Dear SiE-"The young girl who
used the Peruna was suffering from

of the treatment was most safisfac-
tory. She found great relief, and
after further use of the medicine we
hope to be able to say she is entirely
cured."-Sisters of Charity.

CLAUS SPRECKELS' ILLNESS,
The Illness of the Western Sugar
King Not Nearly as Serious
as Reported.

San Francisco, Nov. 22.-The sensa-
tlonal reports of the illness of Claus
Speckels, the millionaire sugar manu-
facturer of this city, greatly exagger-
ate his condition, which is not consid-
cred at all serious by his physicians.
According to the statements of the fam
lily and the medical men in attendance,
AR. Spreckels is merely suffering from
a. cold, which does not cause the
slightest alarm. Some weeks ago he is
said to have had a light attack of
paralysis, but from that he entirely re-
covered. 1t is expected that he will be
out in a day or two.
