PROPOSED DRILLING CONTEST AT THE ST. LOUIS Ex-

It is proposed that there be held a drilling contest at St. Louis. and we hope that the efforts now being ex. erted 10 that end will be successful If the management can see its way to offer purses in the amounts suggested is e.. s10.000 to s2O.000. it will bring together in the competition the most expert drillers in the United States, and be an educational object lesson to many thousands of people who. al though interested in mining. have nev CT visited the operating mines.

the absence from 1t of SO many of the old leaders of the Arizona democracy, the men who, possessing ability, ex. perience and character. have in the past been the bulwark of strength and to whose wise councils the nraty Is indebted for its past successes We would not convey the idea that the membership of the convention was entirely lacking in knowledge and pru' dence Almost every one of the county delegations contained men of ability and conservative ideas, who repre-. sent the most influential faction of the Arizona democracy, and to whose guidance the party could be safely in trusted.
 The Hearst movement is an irides cent dream, which will vanish at St Louis on the 9th of July. and the party in Arizona will then regain its sanity.-Arizona Silver Belt.

Smith, who with her daughter, Claudio. a o<2rnsng young woman of some twenty years of age, was resi- dent of this city for some time. leav- ing here two months ago for San Francisco. where the daughter was to study for the stage, an engagement be- ing promised her al the Orpheum in the event that she qualified for the po- sition
 Their departure has developed the climax of a romance such as occurs in few lives. Eighteen years ago MT. Smith. who is railroad constructing engineer by profession, was engaged in building a railroad in Honduras, Central America. Before his contract was completed a revolution broke out in that turbulent and tumultuous gov ernment. and for safety he dispatched his wife and daughter to the United States. They took up their residence on the Pacific coast, and for a time Mrs Smith. corresponded regularly with her husband. Suddenly all com munication ceased The wife spent an anxious year trying 10 learn the fate of her husband, but could hear nothing and was al last forced to the sorrowful conclusion that he had met his death during the revolution.
 It seems that during the time Mrs. Smith was unable 10 locate her bus band he was confined inccmmunicado in Honduras prison. having been on the losing side in the outbreak. He was in durance vile for several years.

newspaper account referred 10 qu5te. MT. Hearst as saying fundamental re lations are not changed and the asso ciations do not interfere with proper and legitimate control of men. have all the control necessary fer the con duct of my business
 This statement. rather strangely perhaps. on the part of the official re- port, does not appear in the official printed record of the hearing at all
 The personal organ of the Congress man-candidate, the New York Ameri- can. in its issue of February :, report ing the passage of the Naval Bill in the House said:
 Through the efforts of sixteen Dem ocrats, led by Benny and Hughes. of New York, Wade of Iowa, and Wynn and Livernash of California. enthusi astic advocates of a great navy, the program was carried through against all protest and legislative hostility.
 The Congressional Record of that day must be in error if this statement is correct. On that day the Demo crats sought to recommit the bin with instructions to strike out the provis- ion for the construction of two ar. mored cruisers, and on this motion there was roll call This motion certainly had for its purpose the re- duction Of the proposed increase of the naval establishment and those "en- thusiastic advocates of a greater na. "" Supporting the proposition ap pear to have taken a strange position for those who were seeking to build up greater navy. And, too. the of cial record shows that Mir Hearst. Mir Rider and NIT. Wade were recorded as not voting. Mir. Hearst was paired against the proposition to construct the two armored cruisers.
 On the same day an amendment pro viding among ether things that the eight-hour law should prevail in ship yards doing government work was voted upon and on this also NIT. Hearst IS not recorded as voting. MT. Hearst s paper says of this matter:
 ~Messrs. Liyernash. Hearst and Wynn conferred together and prepar. cd the plan of action and accomplish ed the result of demonstrating to or ganized labor that the House was no. favorable to their interests, etc.
 The record shows that Representa-. tive Meyer. of Louisiana, 'by request and Instruction of the minority of the Committee on Naval Affairs" offered this amendment. The record does not show that any of the other gentle men named had anything to do with it. This record of congressional absent. eeism and negative action makes an interesting study in American politics

WAS NO SURPRISE.

The convention held in Tucson on Monday was in no important feature a surprise. It was called 10 elect six delegates to represent the Arizona de mocracy in the national convention to meet in St. Louis, and also to name the national committeeman from this territory For a week previous to the assembling of the convention at Tue son it was known that a large major ity of the delegates whom had been chosen from the several counties ia vored w R. Hearst as the party's can didate for the presidency.
 Doubtless, the fact that MT. Hearst had considered the support of Arizona as of so much importance that he sent his confidential agent into the terri. .ory to work in his interests, flattered the common people," for whom the young Napoleon of journalism" is reputed to have labored with SO great assiduity. There were others who, shrewd enough to see through Inc glamor of the Hearst protensions, yet experienbaeenae pnxo ,bDterateaat saw in the unreasoning adherence of those but poorly informed and with out experience in politics, a golden op- portunity to play the demagogue and thereby further their own personal interests And it is not strange. therefore. that many of this stripe of the Arizona politician were found in the late convention at Tucson. and at whose dictation platform of high sounding but empty phrases and ful some nattery of Hearst was adopted with wild acclaim.

THE STORY OF THE pRUMMER's ovERcoAT.

It is proper that the president O
 the United States should be accord ed all of the courtesies possible in ttt way Of travelling in such manner as will comport with the dignity of the highest official in the land, but in the interests of economical administration of a1airs of the nation, Theodore the First is subject somewhat to criticism
 In another column of the Review IS given a list of special trains" pro vided for the Strenuous One since his advent to power, and who pays for them will be interesting to the reader. Can the president of the United States accept these "courtesies" and still do his cuiy when bills come before nm affecting the great railroad inter ests of the United States? IL will be remembered that these bills for specials" were included in the post office appropriation bill before con gress before it adjourned. and the manner in which they were included reminds one of the story of the drum mer's overooat. The fdrummeT on returning from his first trip for his new employers, which had been ex t7emely successful, judging from the amount of goods sold he was called in 'on the car..et" before the head of the firm and asked to explain certain items in his expense account, among others "one overcoat s20," and the claim was disallowed on the ground that this with other items were who'll ly of personal nature. and could moi be allowed. On returning from his second trip, the drummer was con graduated upon his continued success ful trip and congratulated that the per sonal item of overcoat had been cut cut. "Oh, well,' said the drummer, it is there just the same" And so in the inland railroad appropriation tenn the presidents overcoat, or rath- CT the presidents special trains" were there just the same.
 These remarks are pertinent at this time because the president has been most prolific with "homilies" and lectures to every delegation that has called upon him. reminding them of their duty to the couse of civic hon esty" and national righteousness" which are not accepted as an equival ent from him as to why he breaches of national righteousness 10 others while placing himself under obligations to the railroads in accepting these speci- al trains.
 The country win not have failed to notice that although the president con sumed some 16,00O words of space in his las. message to congress. he was unable to find space to discuss one of the chief causes for the upbuilding of the trusts-freight rate discrimina tions-discriminations in violation of law, and by the very railroads which accord him the courtesy of special trains
