w. A. CLINE

The recent republican convention
of Yavapai county knew what is was
doing when it came to the selection
of a candidate for the office of treas
urer. Having in view the men who
are competent as we'll as trustworthy,
the men who are identified in a ma
terial way with the upbuilding of the
country, as we'll as having done so, a
logical outcome of such deliberations
is manifested in the candidacy of W..
a. Cline for this Office. Thirty years
of a residence should go for some
thing, and in this long service Mr..
Cline can point to the past in many
ways. The old firm of randall and
Cline, will te recalled by this gentle
mans candidacy, a business venture
that brought to Prescott its first hard
ware enterprise. They did a good
business with the miner in 1876, and
they prospered in trade like so many
others have done in assisting that in,

ties of the same. In the early SOS

While Mr.. and Mrs. Toile have made

From Arizona comes the pleasant
news that the territory is likely to

Smith-The Smitb-at the same time

unto the column of repubIieanism.
Smith is the individual who distIn-

which he abused a senior of the state
that then was giving him its hospital

JOE ROBERTS.

There is an old saying, "Give credit
to whom credit is DUE Such is ex-
emPlified in the candidacy of Joe Rob-
ers for the Office of sheriff of Yavapai
county on the republican ticket, and
is directly applicable to him. Mr..
Roberts desires to succeed himself,
and for the benefit of the community
at large it is but proper to say that
this will be his second term. If re-
elected he will not under any circum-
stances or conditions whatever endeav-
or to again make the race.
During Mr.. Roberts incumbency of
this Office his record has been an ex-
ceptlonably able one and we doubt if
in the history of criminal work per-
formed has be an equal, and which
the records will substantiate. The
Goddard murderers called for not on
ly the cunning exercise of methods
known only to the criminal, but like
wise did it require the executive abil-
ity of this officer to successfully bring
these high handed murderers to Justice
and later to the scaffold. For the
first time in many years the Goddard
executions we're practically the first
TO be expiated, and through the efforts
of our sheriff was this due. Hun
dreds of lesser crimes, involving all
classes of lawlessness, from the petty
to the murderer, have likewise been
run down and intercepted. But one
of the many have escaped, in in this
instance the sheriff personally was not
on the scene, nor could he be there
under the circumstances. A striking
illustration of the capability of this
officer is that in a career Of two years
not an escape has been made from the
county Jail, which in itself is in direct
contrast with this Office heretofore.
Mr.. Roberts has performed a high class
of detective work that is of especial
significance, also. Fugitives from
justice have been run down in neigh
boring states, and in this respect it is
but just and proper to say of him in a
financial sense he has personally
borne the biggest end of the expense
incurred therefor. Taking this young
man all round, he has made an eff
cient officer, and we believe the op-
position will accord him that distinc-
ton also. A time honored custom in
this county calls for officers to sue
coed themselves for a second term.
This rule applies to Mr.. Roberts, and
on the basis of his record is he again
himself to the people. a
aside from this he should be elected
for the reason that he has been duti-
full and a successful officer to society, |
no breach has been created legally in
the performance of his duties, and
taking him for what he is and has
proven himself to be, he should be /
and will be reelected: As a matter /
of justice, and not as question OF
charity, the people should endorse
his administration of that office.

MINING NEWS.

One of the most important mining
deals of the past week, says the Phenix
Gazette, is the formation of the Bon
ANA and Golden Eagle Mining com
pany, corporation recently organlz-
ed under the laws of Arizona and the
transfer to that company of the entire
properties of the famous old Hargura
Hala mines. This group of mines is
on of the oldest properties in Arizona
and has been a large producer for
many years. Mr.. A. g. Hubbard
originally developed the mines and
made his stake out of them since when
they have been in the hands of an
English company. The property con-
veyed to the new corporation consists
of the Bonanza and the Golden Eagle
groups located in the Harqua Hala
mountains, Ellsworth district of Yuma
county. There is a fully equipped,
forty stamp mill on the companies
newly acquired property, together
with a complete cyanide plant and
pumping plant and pipe line.
There are already over seven hun
bred tons of ore all free milling gold,
on the dumps and the new company
is already operating its mill three
days week.
The new owners are all Arizona peo-
plet, thoroughly familiar with what a
producer these Harqua Hala properties
have been in the past and confident
that there are still fortunes to be
worked out of these mines.
The officers of the company are H.
G. Hauge Of Harrisburg, Arizona,
president; j. B. Martin of Harrisburg,
Arizona, vice president and general
manager and AnciI Martin of Phenix,
Arizona, secretary and treasurer.

Peaceful MT. Roosevelt.

The change which has come over our late strenuous, misunderstanding Presi. dent is surpassed only by that which Stevenson attributed to the unfor- tunate physician in his story of Dr. Jellyl and MT. Hyde. Whereas MT. Roosevelt was formely accustomed to stalk about Washington in all the reck- less abandon of a western ranger, faunt his views in the face of con- gress and run down evil-doers with a seant regard for party obligations that would have done credit to Joe Folk, he now extends the "glad hand" to Gloves" Littauer, weeps upon the shoulder of Lou Payne and holds se- cret conferences with Gas" Addicl6s.
 There was a time when the public thought the President very independ- ent man, but now he seeks the counsel of his followers and scans the field of approaching batue with dubious eye. In truth, it might be believed the doughty leader of the republicans was afraid were it not for the fact that he mas so ortel bearded the mountain llon in his den and made western plains ring with his triumphant shout.
 In truth, change has come over MT. Roosevelt He mixes no more in labor affairs. and all other subjects that are apt to cause him trouble are carefully avoided. His letter of ac- ceptance has received a pruning that was denied his books, while the na- tions chief executive has done less and had less to say since Judge Par ker's nomination than at any time since he entered politics. The exam pie of wise and conservative candi- date on the shores of the Hudson who never did anything more spectacular than to plunge into the waters of the historic stream has evidently given the erstwhile disciple of strenuosity food for reflection.

Mimic Warfare.

A great many people who do not take time to consider duly the import ance and value of such a movement may criticise adversely the proposed sham repetition of the battle of Man. assas, in which large attachments from the regular army, and regiment of the national guard from each of the states are to participate.
 Tn truth, there is practical wisdom in such an enterprise, and the appropria- ton by the government for such pur- pose ought to meet the approval of every patriotic American. "In time of peace prepare for war" was wisely suggested. If organizing and equipping the militia of the several states be wise or necessary, certain it is that the volunteers should be trained in the art of war, and in mimic warfare the only practical opportunity is offered for the citizen soldiery to become pro flcient. The drill hall, and the man. ual of arms afford but the A B C's to the soldier.
 The national guard is one of the real safeguards of our country, and the most economical one that is main tained. Besides affording home and internal protection, it stands as ready reserve force for the nation. The standing army of only about 60,000 men could not maintain the dignity of a protective or aggressive force with out the assurance of ready and will ing reserve. And yet this standing army is larger than it would need be, if more encampments were given, more liberal appropriations made and more training afforded the national guard.
 Let the mimic warfare at Manassas proceed. It is not to be vain play, but practical demonstration of what is the soldiers duty and how he should per form that duty.

Bulldinu Activity.

The most striking thing about Bir mingham just now is the large number of houses in course of construction Fine records in building were made here in 1902 and 1903, but the record this year, so far as the number oi houses goes, will surpass that of all previous years.
 There is no section of Birmingham where new buildings are not seen Many of them are large and handsome while nearly all of them are substan- tial and tastefully designed.
 This is a great home-building town, and 1t is a fact well worthy of note and most encouraging that the charac. ter of residential houses now being erected shows on the average a marked improvement in point of con. struction over anything in this line in past years.
 As an example of what Is being done, seventeen commodious and beautiful residences are in course of erection in single section of the North High

The Horse Will Stay.

Those who have been led to believe that automobiles. street cars and the like, which are driven by gasoline and electricity would drive the ever faithful horse out of service, were wrong," re- marked a lover of horses at the Morris.
 "The horse is in as great demand today as he ever was. In Louisville the other day it was necessary to abandon a pa- rade because not enough good horses could be obtained, which Is strange news from state noted for it's fine animals. Good horses are said to be so scarce in Baltimore that some officers are finding difficulty in securing mounts for the ma neuvers on the Manassas battlefield which will take place in few days.
 "A United States consul in South Ger many not long ago said the demand for good horses in that section was so active that Americans can make money by sending over some good stock The prices he quoted were double those pre- vailing in this country
 ''rhe horse has not yet had his day, and not all the inventive genius of man can supplant him in his sphere of useful ness.'

NATIONAL POLITICS.
The lndependent Vote.
From the Baltimore Morning Herald,

From the Baltimore Morning Herald.
 It is generally conceded that if the country had adopted the silver standard as advocated by Bryan 1t would have proved harmful to our progress. But one service, though done unwittingly. that the Nebraskan, probably more than any other man, performed deserves the thanks of the country. Mir Bryan by his bold doctrines liberated the thinking voter
 Before 1896 man practically could not change party allegiance He was ostra- cized by men of his former faith and but coldly received by those to whom he went. Everything tended to mold party lines as strict as those of caste. Party discip- line was as unmereiful as 1t was fre- quently' narrow and mercenary. But in the campaign of that year an increasing tendency found opportunity to express itself. Thoughtful citizens on both sides refused to sacrifice principle to organiza- tion. The result is well known Both democrats and republicans experienced great changes. Since then it has been looked upon as proper to overstep party lines when reason demands it. A con scientious conversion Is admired. A fine illustration is those republicans of Mas saehusetts who voted for Bryan in 1900 on the single issue of imperialism though disagreeing with him on every other point. Much in this direction remains to be done, but 1t is none the less true that remarkable progress has been made.

If these shall rejoice over his retire. ment, certain it is that the masses of the democrats throughout the country will regret to lose from active particl- patton in the contests that are to fol low from time to time the services of a strong factor in the affairs of the party whose highest boast has ever been: q am a democrat"

Belmont Needed.

From the Chattanooga News.
 The New York Sun rdicules the appear ance of MT. August Belmont at democratic headquarters making his presence there conspicuous by iong accounts of his con- ferences with the leaders. The Charleston News and Courier sees in this an effort 10 discount the effect of Mir. Belmonts ln- fluence in the campaign, and adds: "The influence of MT. Belmont in the conduct of the democratic campaign. which the Sun affects to ridicule, is just what the republicans fear. In this campaign it is the democratic party that has the enthus- asm, 1t Is the democratic party that has the sympathy of the independent voters, and if the campaign is properly managed it is the democratic party that will win The business experience, the genius of or ganizarion, the systematic methods of Mr. Belmont are just what the democratic party needs"

MT. Hill to Retire.

No matter what may be the result of the national contest in November, there is to be a change on the pro- gramme of American politics, at least a change in the cast of characters.
 On January 1, 1905 David Bennett Hill will retire from public life, and devote the remainder of his active days to the profession of law, in which he has risen to high distinction despite the time and attention he has given to the political affairs of his state and country.
 MT. Hill makes the announcement of his intention thus to act in language unmistakable, and he is an honorable man. It may be charged by some that he makes the announcement thus early for prudential reasons: that Judge Parker and tn, democratic psr..f nay not be handicapped with any opposi- ton that has arisen or may arise by virtue of his early and persistent act i've support Of the nominee for the presidency, linked with opposition and jealousies engendered by the very strength and strategy of the man who found the standard-bearer, formulated the plans and executed the deeG which made Judge Parker the leader of de- mocracy and the highly probable suc- cessor to President Roosevelt,
 If this is the motive prompting Mir. Hills determination to resge from political life ard forego the honor of high office anl power wa.ch seemed within his grasp, it was another act of patriotism, which goes te his credit in the pages which are to be one day written os this consistent partisan ard strong pubic man.
 Though comparatively young in years, being only 61, Mir Hill is old in political service ana in the harness of public duty. He served as city attor- ney, alderman and mayor of Elmira; was a member of the legislature, lieu tenant governor. governor for seven years and United States senator for four years. He therefore retires full of honors, and with the balance to his credit on account of political service
 Perhaps the most distinguished off cial service rendered by Mir E!n was when he was in the senate. His posi- tion, his contention and his argument on the income tax bill were upheld by the United States supreme court on every point. AS an advocate of the repeal of the Sherman law he made master strokes. As logician, a de- batter, and aggressive opponent of what to him seemed wrong, and defender of the faith that in him lies, Mr Hill has ever been a prominent figure.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
h the Waltlna Rooms.


 It is very interesting to observe the various articles of baggage deposited on the long tables in the waiting rooms at the union passenger station" said com mercial traveller last night. Before the departure of trains the station is crowded with outgoingspassengers. and these tables are filled with the multfarious pieces of baggage.
 Gladstone bags. canvas telescopes, pasteboard boxes. suit cases and parcels wrapped in newspaper are placed to- gether Umbrellas, walking canes and eandboxes are also in evidence. Some peo- pie insist they can read mans charae- ter from the luggage carried, but l think you can tell more about his occupation For instance, that suit case scratched and bruised by frequent contact with bag gage trucks, likely belongs to eommer- cial traveller, while that black Gladstone is the property of a clergyman or law yer. The canvas telescope bulged out or shape with the straps bucSled In the last holes, belongs to bucoic brother who has spent the day in town and Incidentally purchased a supply of merchandise from the Birmingham shops. The new suit case with an umbrella slipped in the straps belongs to a young man staruhB on his vacation.

PsychoIoqical Side.

Death By Rail.

Why Is it that so many more people are killed by the railroads of this coun- try than by the roads of Great Britain?'' asked a travelling man of a railroader last night.
 'The figures show that the railroads of Great Britain and Ireland in 1903 car ried l194,sS3,00 900 persons, of whom 123 were killed and 1912 injured American railroads carried only 1891 ,5S5 persons, of whom S55 were killed and s2s1 injured, Including employees the railroads here killed 9S40 and injured 76.553 while in Great Britain the total death roll was ll59 and the number injured 67S5.'
 T do not know how that is" responded the railroader. but I do know that the juries of this country make the rail- roads pay like the mischief for all dam ages; therefore I further know that it is not voluntary slaughter on the part of our companies.''

N view of the present serious illness of Senator George G. Hoar of Mas sachusetts and in as much as the race question promises to be an im- portant factor in the national presiden- tial campaign the distinguished senator's sentiments on the question will be of un- usual interest. In an address before the Union League club of Chicago several months ago he said:
 "I know how sensitive our southern friends are on this matter of social equality and companionship, and l think 1 might say fairly and properly-and that perhaps l have right to say it-that 1t is not wise for the people of the north to undertake to deal rashly or even to judge hastily of feeling so deeply lm- planted in their bosoms.
 ''rime. the great reconciliator. will re- concile them to that if in the nature of things and in the nature of man they ought to be reconciled to it. And if in the nature of things and in the nature of man time does not reconcile them, 1t will be sign that they ought not to be reconciled to it; and that some other mode of life for them must be devised.
 Now my friends, having said what I ought to say on this question, perhaps may be indulged in adding that, all though my life politically and personally has been life of almost constant strife with the leaders of the southern people, yet as l grow older I have learned not only to respect and esteem, but to love the great virtues which make up the strength as they make up the glories of their states. Their love of home; their chivalrous respect for women; their courage; their delicate sense of honor; their constancy, which can abide by an opinion or a purpose or an interest for their state through diversity and through prosperity, through the years and through the generations, are things by which the people of the more mercurial north may take lesson. And there is another things-covetousness corruption, the low temptation of maney has not yet found place in our ssuthern poli- tics.
 Now, my friends. we canAot afford to live. we do not wish to live. h a state of estrangement from pa who pos
