FAIRY TALES.

post office to all voters in Nogales lot of circulars conveying state ments of Mark Smiths alleged ex- ploits in congress and his alleged service there for the people of Ari- zona, which is such tissue of inn agination that the reader Is driven to admiration of the writer and his capacity for exalted tergi versation. Of course this literature has cir culateG all over the territory, and 1t is calculated and hoped to stem the rising tide of disapprobation of the democratic candidate for con- gress.
 One of the brochures, of which there were two enclosed in the same envelope, is entitled "What Mark Smith has done in Congress for Arizona" and one knows hardly where to begin in branding the falsity and misrepresentation thereof. The very first statement will do as an example. It reads.
 He defeated the Land Commis- sion which was designed by Reavis and other Mexican Land Grant claimants to secure title to such grants. The Reavis Grant covered the whole Salt River Valley. The bill to establish the commission was brought into the House by un- animous report in it's favor. Smith took the floor, and in the first speech he made in Congress had Arizona stricken from the bill.
 Now there was never a bill be- fore congress creating a Land Com mission; but there was bill creat- ing the Court of Private Land Claims, to which bill Mir. Smith secured an amendment excluding Arizoua from the jurisdiction and benefits Of the court. When some of his indignant constituents learn ed of that act of Mir. Smith they made such representation to east ern congressional friends that the exclusion of Arizona from bill, se- cured by Mir. Smith, was rescinded, and the bill became law as orig inally drafted. That court pro- cee led to investigation of titles to all land claims in the region taken from Mexico, including the in- famous Reavis grant, and includ ing also the Nogales de Elias grant, both of which were decreed invalid. But for that Land Court and it's decrees the titles to the homes and properties of all the people living Tn Nogales would vet be beneath the shadow of an in- valid Mexican land grant; and that such shadow has been finally and forever removed is in no way due to the official service of Mir. Smith at Washington.
 The succeeding paragraph in the circular is misrepresentation No. ?. It reads:
 He afterwards obtained through the Attorney General a report to Congress asking an appropriation of money to investigate the Reavis .t1 AL

the Reavis Grant and sent Reavis to Che penitentiary
 The attorney for the government in inc Land Court, Mr. Matt Rey- holds of St. Louis, a gentleman we'll known in Nogales, which place he has several times visited, in consultation with our citizens who were aiding him opposing con- firmation of the Nogales de Elias grant, sent to Mexico and to Spain Mir. Mallet- Provost, we'll known expert. who detected the fraud in the Reavis claim, and exposed the same in open court. The cost of Mir. Mallet-Prevost's investigations was paid out from the contingent fund created in the appropriation for the Land Court, which fund was designed for just such expen- ditures; and with securing that ap- propriation Mir. Smith had noth- ing whatever to do. It is very easy to make reputation upon mis- representation so palpable.
 One of the paragraphs in the circular tells how he passed through the house statehood bills admitting Arizona three different times, but that they were killed in the republican senate. But 1t omits mention of the fact that in 1893 the senate was democratic, and his bill, after having passed the house, was killed in the senate by threat of a veto from President Cleveland. and the measure never got by the senate committee. President Cleve- land was doubtless appalled, by the though than tour Markn would be a United States senator should the bill become a law, and he wouldn't havei it.
 But to follow to the end the tissue of misrepresentation would fill several numbers of THE OASIS the foregoing are sufficient to con vince a reasoning man that Mir. Smith will not do. Voters should not be mislead by fairy tales.
