Democratic Editors Make Predictions
 lnsures Success.
 The nomination of Marcus A Smith by exclamation, insures Democratic victory in this territory next Noyem- Der. Mir Smiths long service at Wash ington has fitted him to conserve the interests of this territory at the na- tional capital better than any new man could conserve them. Having 10 vote a delegate from a territory can not advance or protect the interests of his constituents except through the personal influence he may exercise over senators and representatives to whom he is bound by the ties of friendship Friendships are not created in a day but by years of per sonal contact Mir Sma,h'S ten years in congress has enabled him through his attractive personality. 10 win the friendship of majority Of the leading spirits in the senate and house and he seldom appeals to them in ven on a measure affecting the in terests of his constituents. At this critical time in the history of the territory it would be folly not to send him as cur representative. There are others, of course. who are as strong mentally and as rich in ac- complishments as is MT. Smith. but they are lacking in that one essential to success at Washington, strong per sonal friendships that have develop ed through years Of pleasant social intercourse. Pinal county will be found in the Smith column by large majority Blade.

Bisbee daily review., 1904-09-30

A "company of soldiers may be ade- quately armed for ordinary service with rifles only-if the rifles are mod. ern and of loIg range.
 A Regiment, if operating indepen- dently in actual service, must needs have at least a few field guns," per haps seme breach-loading rapid-fire 'three-pounders."
 A Brigade, isolated from it's base, must carry at least small Artillery Corps. equipped with field guns large enough to pound" fortified enemy, or to cover either an offensive move ment or a retreat.

The little store. like the company of soldiers, may get along with little ads, if they are placed in long-range med iums.
 A Digger store," like a regiment, must have some display space-some field guns for offense and defense.
 A still-bigger-store," like a Brigade, must carry bigger guns," must ex. tend its display advertising from inches into columns.
 A really "BIGv store, like an Army Division, must carry the biggest guns" must use whole pages of ''broadsides," and must make it's ad- vertising it's mailed fist" for compe- tition, and its "gloved hand" for pa- irons.

New York, January 21.-Prices eased off when the market opened today Cables were rather hesitatng, the fact being that some bulls expect an uninterrupted improvement day after day. and eagerness to take profits causes halt in the up- ward movement. Big bull leaders were reducing their estimates to GOO bales today Short time agitation in England seemed to disturb small waisted bulls.
 Receipts are watched as never before and the expectation is that they will not only continue to decrease but to a striking extent Feeling as a rule is that we are far from top prices, every little break brings in the plenty of buyers and there is a general disincllnation as heretofore to be caught short of the market Receipts at the ports were but 20,000 against 2S,000 last year There was little cotton offered during the morning. New Orleans was understood to be grabbing all the actual cotton possible and under the eircum- stances nobody was prepared to risk a squeeze. The export wing of the trade are especially nervous. in fact while talk ing of the danger of high prices, they are buying right along. The market im- proved during the morning. July was bought on a good scade by European firms.

 Liverpool cables say that the weak op- ening was due to profit-taking but cotton for sale was absorbed quickly, as there is a good undertone, and any favorable circumstance will cause an advance Later advices from there claim that industrial circles are becoming bullsh, and that Manchester was a free buyer on pros poets of a better business with India and China. The supposition is that they had received advanced information on the prospect of a peaceful solution of the eastern imbroglio, as English consols closed 4 higher than the opening The circulation of a telegram from New York after Liverpool closed saying that cables from St Petersburg state that advices re- ceived from Japan infer that fears of war are dispelled changed sentiment here, and as spots were firm and statistics bull ish. prices advanced sharply. reaching the highest level so far this season.
