integrity of the government and the
equally positive belief that the condi-

I feast of the most unselfish and innoc
uous description. The very magnitude
| of the recent political triumph should
serve to free it from all personal rancor
and it will probably be remembered
| that in the succeeding Fifty-ninth con-
gress it will be a distinction to have
been sent to it by the defeated party.
| A Democratic representative in con-
gress is distinction indeed of which
several states have been deprived.
Both Nebraska and West Virginia will

| men of only one political complexion.

Some lawyers have been puzzled over President Roosevelt's statement that "there is no common law of the United States" If he had said lin" the United States his assertion might have been called in question. As each state is independent, 1t has it's own common law, and the Supreme and other Federal courts must recog- nize it. Probably the Claw mer- chant" or the custom of traders and bankers, comes as near being common law as anything. Chief Justice Mar shall recognized that there is no com mon law of the United States. In Slocum V. Mayberry, ? Wheaton, p. 4, he said: Congress has refused to the courts of the Union the power of deciding on the conduct of their off cers in the execution of their laws, in suits at common law, until the case shall have passed through the state courts, and have received form which may there be given to it.

News comes that pupils are docking by shoals into the colleges throughout the land. There is another evidence of the prosperity and confidence which everywhere prevails, as we'll as the belief that the future will offer unex- ampled opportunities for educated men and women. Yale university re- ports registration of over 5000 stu dents, the largest number in it's his tory. Wellesley has new fresh- woman class of $50 students; the Law school alone of the George Washing ton university in the District of Col umbia has over $50 students. Surely the country will have to grow fast,
 and is so growing, to make room for all these professional men and women,

A protective tariff is not robbery of the many for the benefit of the few, as the democrats charge. A protective tariff is the thing that makes busy factories and steady employment for workingmen, and these are the things that make demand for what the far mer produces. Every class of people is benefited by protective tariff and nobody is robbed by it. Search his tory and see if you can find when the American people were ever prosper ous during low tariff period. You will search in vain.

B. s. Rodey present delegate to con gress from New Mexico and who was defeated for re-nomination has an- nounced that he will be an indepen- dent candidate. Mir. Rodey says: ''I am impelled to this action by the re- quest of thousands of my fellow re- publicans, who do not consider that the convention held at Albuquerque on the 18th of September was in any manner representative of the wishes of either the delegates originally elected thereto, or of the republicans of the territory. I therefore acquiesce in the almost universal demand and most respectfully ask for the sutfrages and support of all good and honest people at the polls at the November election" It is the opinion of New Mexico politicians that Mir. Rodey will defeat the regular nominee, MT. Andrews, and elect a democrat.

The Prescott Courier in reporting a republican meeting says of R. E. Morrison: Hon. R. E. Morrison closed the entertainment with a char acteristic republican speech. Mir. Morrison is one of those intense re- publicans who look forward to poli- tical campaign as a sort of open sea- son to hunt male democrats, and dur ing this season, if the Lord admitted a democrat into Heaven, MT. Morri- son would promptly express his dis pleasure. When this open season is not on, MT. Morrison is just like other republicans; and can see lots of good in his democratic friends"

When the first republican President, Abraham Lincoln, was elected in 1860, we had l23, ,O0O factories, with LOGO, 900 workers. Now, under the protective tariff, we have 600, ,0O0 factories, with 1000, ,000 workers. For all time 477, 900 factories aud 6,000,000 workers stand as victory to the credit of the protective tariff and the republican party.
 Since the birth of the republican ad- ministration in 1860, savings bank de- posits have increased by nearly S3,- 900, 900, ,000; annual exports by over $l, 300, 900, GOO; bank clearings by Sll3,- 900, 900, 900, yearly; money circulation by S1, l22, ,0O0, 900; values of farm prop erty by sl5,OOO, LOO, 900; factory capital by S9, 300, 0O0, 900; steam railroads by lS4, ,0O0 miles; telegraph lines by ESQ., 900 miles; telephone lines, an entire increase of over l,OOO, 900 miles, States of the Union from 3l to 45, and so on, through the long, long list of mater ial advantages.
