CONSISTENCY STILL REMAINS A JEWEL.

The Benson Press, with Roosevelt and Fairbanks flying from it's mast head, continues in its weak and silly effort to create sentiment among the taxpayers of the county against the administration of affairs by the pres ent Board of Supervisors, but up to the present writing has failed to point out just what particular branch of the county government has been misman- aged, CT along what particular line economy should be practiced.
 As a feeler the Review suggested that the Reform School at Benson might be abolished; also that the Ranger force. perchance, could be dis pensed with, but to these suggestions of retrenchment and reform, the Ben son Press stands upon its hind legs and enters most real and strenuous objection.
 The Press positively refuses to be consistent A few weeks ago the Territorial Board of Equalization vas in session at Phoenix, Ca Republican board, by the way,) at the same time the County Board of Equalization was wrestling with the tax rate in this county. The reader will please bear in mind that the Board of Supervis- ors of Cechise county is Democratic Board Happily for the tax payers of the territory at large and Cochise coun- ty in particular, both the territorial and county tax rates were reduced.

NO IMPROPRIETY IN MIR. FAIRBANKS CASE.

Mir. Fairbanks has not resigned his Senatorial office and Mir. Tom Tag gart is asking why. Judge Parker did not hesitate about his position in the Court of Appeals, did he?" inquires the Democratic chairman.
 The two cases are not parallel. The precedents are all in favor of Mir. Fair banks position. Douglas did not re sign his Senatorial office when he was nominated for President. Neither. we believe, did Garfield. Van Buren did not resign the Vice Presidency when he was nominated for Presi- dent. Mcclellan was a majoT-general when he was nominated, and resigned on election day. Grant did not sur render his commission until he took the oath of office. and then he held to the position that his assumption of the duties of Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy nullifed his com mission as general of the army. Han cock remained in the United States Army until his death. Neither Til den nor Cleveland resigned the Cover norship of New York when nominated for President
 In Mr. Fairbanks case there are good political reasons why he should not resign, even if his election to the Vice Presidency were assured. Sev. eral Indiana Republicans have an nounced their candidacy for the seat. If he resigned the Governor would make a temporary appointment. and this might prejudice the coming con test before the Legislature
 Mir Fairbanks is violating none of the proprieties in retaining the office of Senator. He is under no obligations to bet his Senato-ship that he will be elected Vice President.

children to send to school.
 While the levy for the bond fund was slightly reduced this year, the fund for the roads and bridges was in- creased, so it will be seen that the run ming expenses of the county as repre- sented by the expense fund. have been reduced, and the reduction would have been still greater had not the demand for the maintenance of our schools been increased.
 We fear the Press has undertaken an impossible task-an attempt to dis gruntle the taxpayers in the face of the results. Just censuTe of a public board for extravaganza is to be com mended, but harping on nothing, in the face of a reduction in the county tax rate. will become boomerang.

THE REVIEW THREE MONTHS FOR $1

The political campaign of 1904 will be one of the most memorable and hardest fought battles in the arena of politics within the history of the Amer ican nation. IL is not so much a cam paign of Republicans against Demo crats, or Democracy versus Republi- canism. It is protest of the people of the United States against ROOSE- VELTlSM, with all the odious features which the name suggests. Odious in the carrying around of the Big Stick" like a policeman, among na- lions, odious in the extr. Yagance of the party whose powers he has usurped, odious in his assumption of the rights of the people, odious in his party's care for the rich few, through high tariff, and the burdening of the many poorer citizens, contributing to the coffers of manufacturers who sell American made goods for half the price in Europe, freight added, than our people are compelled to pay for the same articles here.
 These are but sllusions as to what wtll be discussed politically during the campaign approaching. The BISBEE DAILY REVIEW is now the only daily paper in Cochise county receiving the Associated Press reports (the only authentic and reliable news agency practically extant).

THE sPooNER COMPANY
Will Appear in the Opera House Sep
 tember 12.

Speaking of the Spooner company, playing in Phoenix this week, and which is coming to Bisbee Opera House the week of September 12, the Arizona Republican says:
 For the Sake of 6 Woman" would be better title than Tobias Craig for the beautiful drama presented by the Spooner company last night. To bias Craig has the atmosphere of the day and work of Charles Dickens. It is indeed a classic. In language it is exquisitely chaste and there is charming purity in it's plot Its situ- ations call for nothing unreal. There is no bombast and no heavy leads. One can imagine Mir. Nat Goodwin in the role of NIT. Vincent. which MT Wallock so cleverly essays. There is something delightfully."- real and simple about the entire production. Tobias Craig himself presents a character who would delight Denman Thompson. IL is in this role that MT. Spooner far transcends anything previously scored to his credit at Eastlake and he has offered us many successes. Every member of the company seems to have entered into full sympathy with the quiet and altogether sweet spirit of the little play and the work of each was characterized by and evenness that gave the cast perfect balance In nothing have they been so at one with themselves. Miss Spooner has given us charming portrayals of many strong heroines, but she seems to understand Helen Wiiioughby gest of all and to clothe her with exquisite womanliness. In the character of Miss MauTine Will lougbby there is just enough of the soubrette to make Miss Katherine Van Esse entirely bewitching. Miss Lille Shrewsbury is seen as the prettiest of boys in a nice little part in which she is quite chic and refreshing MT F. P. Hillman and Mrs. F. E. Hillman have one appearance as Mir. and Mrs. Tompkins, which is amazingly rich. Mrs. Spooner, as Sheba. the servant, is astonishing. In the dishbreaking episode, the only unayerted calamity of the evening, her stunt was followed hard by a vivid flash Of lightning which put out the lights and which was the foreTunner of a terrific crash Of thunder.

Fer An Independent Ticket
 (Graham Guardian.)

Graham GuaTdian.)
 An effort is being made to consol- idate the Republicans and Socialists and Independents. and nominate an in- dependent ticket. Whether this is ac- complished or not depends largely upon the Republicans.
 That the movement has been start ed is clearly shown by the fact that petitions are being circulated asking for signatures calling for a convention. We understand that one of the gentle men who took a leading part in the Democratic primary is circulating a petition. We do not know what en- eouragement he has received. Follow ing is the petition:
 This is to indicate that, owing to the present unsatisfactory political conditions, locally, ia Graham county. we, the undersigned, believe that 2 Non-Partisan, Independent or Peoples Convention should be called, after full and fair notice. for the purpose of nominating a satisfactory ticket in Ora ham county. Please return tn.s to the inclosed address within the next ten days"

Levy for 1903.


 It will be observed that the Board of Supervisors were enabled this year to make reduction in the Expense Fund amounting to .341, but the extra levy necessary for the maintenance of our public schools amounted to .226. This increase in the cost of maintaining the schools is accounted for in a partial manner by the large increase in the number of school children in the coun- ty and the establishment of new dis tricts. Then in 1903 there were large forces of railroad builders employed in the county, each one of whom contrib uted 10 the school fund $2.50 as his poll tax. This revenue amounted to several dollars which will not be avail able this year, and while all the fines of both justice and district court, the gambling licenses and the poll tax goes direct into the school fund the Board found that it would be necessa- " to increase the levy for school pur- poses, which was done and which ac- ton will receive the hearty endorse ment of every taxpayer in the county, especially the bone and sinew of the county, the men who have families and

although, so far, failing 10 point o1; a single remedy for an evil which ex sts solely in the imagination of the editor of the Press.
 Pursuing this same policy the Re view, in a polite and courteous man. ner. suggested to the Press that, in order to be consistent, the Territorial Board of Equalization sholli be cen sured for not making a further reduc tion in the Territorial rate. But Lot so. The Territorial Board os Eqrali- zation reduced the Territo -ial tax rate to the lowest notch in orler b proper ly administer Territorial affairs, md is a lovely" beautiful" economical Board. The County Boari of Equal ization of the county did :he same thing. putting the tax rate Iowa to the lowest possible 1gd.a, after listen ing to the reports and estimates of the county officers and going oFef the fig ures presented day after day. anl for this they are to be censnrod. Co., sistency. thou art-a jewel"
 Hark to the mede of praise bestowed upon the Republican Terrho:ial Beard of Equalization:
 "The Review says that to be consist ent, he Press should no point out to the Territorial Board whereby the Territory could manage nicely on ore half of the present Territorial rate. The Territorial affairs arc beng ad- ministered on an eeo1on,cal ard busi- nesslike basis. aud we hov, 10 sTG- gestions to make 10 tle Territo: ial Board"
 Now, isn't that lovely in the Press?
 And the following is the thanks the County Board of Equalization receives at the hands of this partisan organ:
 "The Review thinks the Board of Su- pervisors deserves great credit for re ducing the tax rate from s4.20 to s3.2O in two years. The credit is mainly due 10 the rapid advancement of the county, but the yearly rates have all been excessive. far beyond the needs of economical government"
 The end is not yet There are leaks, according to the Press. and the last tirade brings promise of more to fol- low, in the following closing para graph:
 The Press will, in due time, as soon as we can obtain the data. show some of the leaks in the public treas ury."
 The tax rate for the year 1904, and the final assessment Of the county was definitely fixed by the County Board of Equalization last week. The amount Of assessable property in Cochise coun- ty aggregates the sum of s6,S50,132. The tax rate for this year is s3.20 on each s100 of valuation. From this amount is to be deducted 95 cents on each s100 for Territorial purposes, and the remainder of the levy, amounting to s2.25, is to be available for county purposes. Just about the time the taxpayers of the county were begin ming to feel happy that at last there was to be some relief from heavy tax rate, the Benson Press emerges from its moss covered shell. and says the tax rate is too high. it ought to be re- duced

listing on Twentieth
Street.

Robert E Frisk. who, in association

known as the Keystone chop house on

been driven out of business after a
weeks trial by the depredationS of
hoodlums in the neighborhood. Il
think the public should know about
this thing." said Mr. Frisk, land all the
circumstances in the case. l opened
the Keystone chop house under the firm
name of Frisk Bros. Monday. Dec 10.
and closed il the following Saturday,
when l had almost three weeks rent

paid for. and money enough to run a

The rear door was besmeared with de-
cayed apples. tobacco guilds, ETC., and
others INDUCED in slurring remarks in
front of our place of business. This was
too much for us to endure-patience has
its limits; consequently, we thought
