Republicans Queer Reasoning

In his advocacy of the election of Mir. Fowler, NIT, Maxwell, in his self. asserted desire to rise above politics, dwelt on the futility of sending dem ocrat to congress to get us statehood when the majority there is not demo, cratic; that a republican delegate could do more against joint statehood than democratic delegate. Now, as the present republican administra- tion, from president down, is known to be in favor of joint statehood, just now giving more strength and en- dorSement to that majority is going to prevent joint statehood is more than we can understand.
 MT. Maxwell's idea of giving help and endorsement to majority in or. der to avert a measure which that ma jority fayors, is strange process of

Mark Smiths Able Speech at Tempe Received with Great
 Favor by Farmers
FOWLER THE PAID PROMOTER
Is Correctly Measured by the Farm CTS of the South Side, who Know the Fallacy of his Claims. Re- publicans Favor Joint State.

From Press Report of Mark smith Speech
 at rempe,l
 Irrigation is the all-absorbing ques- tiOn here, and, as was tO be expected, the principal part of Mir. Smiths re- marks were devoted to a review of the action of the government on this question, and the means which he personally took to bring irrigation to the forefront of practical politics. Every argument adduced by Mir. Max we'll was closely examined by Mir. Smith, analysed with the incisiye in- sight and logic of which MT. Smith is past master, aud these quasi-irriga- tlOnists were shown to be throwing dust in the eyes of the people of AriZo- ma, and attempting to claim credit for obtaining money from the government for irrigation, when neither they nor any other person could obtain one dol, lar through personal influence, unless that dollar had been first recommend ed as being necessary by the hydro graphic engineers in the field.
 The people here have made irriga- tion study and a part of the work of their lives, and they know the utter fallacy of the claims advanced by FOw- Ter and Maxwell. But Mark Smith last night clinched the nail and the "doers of things" are known for what they are worth.
 The people here know Fowler, and have refused to mortgage their farms to secure their payment of the three million dollars appropriation which Fowler claims to have secured. Their actiC n has been justified.
 Mir. Smith next dealt with the state. hood question, and asked the people were they content to be dragged at the heels of New Mexico in an unholy and repulsive union. Democratic vic tory in Arizona would effectually bar all further attemps to secure joint statehood on the part of the Republi. cans. The moral effect alone would go long way towards giving Arizona what she had right to, viz, separate and untrammeled statehood.

The copper market is active, strong buoyant. The one element that has been lacking has now been introduced through larger contracts placed by domestic consumers for both lake and electrolytic copper. It is estimated by those in position to know that domestic consumption during the last quarter of the year will be nearer 40,- 900, 900 pounds than 3O,00O, 900 pOunds. That is, in the neighborhood IS,0O0 tons, intead of 16, 900 tons, which has been the estimate heretofore. This means that the combined foreign and domestic consumption of copper dur. ing the last quarter will be greater than the current production and im- ports combined, which means a fur. ther drawing on surplus stocks. The result is reflected in the higher prices.

Japan's Qreat Cold Dlscoyery.

Japan at an opportune time has dis covered new gold field estimated to contain $500, 900, 900 gold, which can be recovered at the rate of $50, 900, ,OoO yearly. The Japanese section in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy at the Louisiana purchase exposition is sufficient argument as to the akill of these artisans of the occident in min ing and metallurgy, and if profitable fields of gold have been discovered on the Japanese islands, the Japanese themselves can be depended upon to develop and exploit them fully and according to the best modern prac- tice. Such discovery may be of great moment to Japan, but it hardly offers much to the outsider, either in the way of furnishing machinery, or capital, or acquiring an interest by location or purchase.

Whiskey 10 Indians.

OF course, it is a fact, that Indians
have no difficulty 10 obtaining liquor
from some source, and apparently with
out any great difficulty. 1t is a lament
able fact that some men are so lost to
honor that for a paltry two bit piece
they will overstcp the bounds of law and
furnish liquor to an Indian. They
know that should an indian while intox-
icated burn the town or commit murder
that the person who furnished the liquor
is Ms guilty as the real offender. But
they are too low to ever let such a small
deed influence them. There has been
confined in the Jail this week two In
dams, arrested for drunkenness and each
sentenced to five days Imprisonment.
1t is a pity but what the officers could
nab the person who gives the indians
whiskey 30 that they could be placed in
Jail together, for the person who sells
liquor to the red face" is not as good as
an Indian.

AS a token OF the esteem Ia which they

at the M. E Church Monday evening
and marched in a body to the residence
OF Mr.. and Mrs. William Licking where
they sprung a surprise upon Mrs. Lick

for the East. This surprise was really a
genuine ons. Neither of those in whose
honor the party was gotten up bad re.
ceiyed the slightest intimation of what
was going on, and we're much astonished
and pleased with the attention shown
them. However, they soon recovered
and set about to make everyone feel at
home.
All present was in for having a good
time and there were music, games, feast
ing and conversation that made the
hours slip away all too rapidly
1t was about IL o'clock when the as
semblage arose and sang, God be with
you till we meet agaiL," after which
Mrs. Licking spo Ike a few kindly words
by which she showed her appreciation
Of the honor conferred upon she and
her uncle and grasped the occasion to
express her thanks to everyone present.
As the guests left for their respective
homes, they wished Mrs. Licking and
