Strangely Out of Place.
Mobile itcm

The Birmingham News objects to the young Kentucky woman taking a hand in the Democratic campaign. Perhaps. after all. The Sews is right. A wo- man Is strangely out of place in the hustle and hurry of politics. The trouble Is. the woman Is unable to ele- vate politics, and a pure woman should never engage in any enterprise that she Is not able to elevate by her pres ence and efforts.

Export Values versus Home Value.

The same expert who obtained the export prices for the Democratic Ma ttonal Committee made accurate esti- mate of the value of the cargo of the steamship Aros Castle. which sailed from New York April 20, 1904. for South Africa. The cargo. which was put on board by the firm of French, Edye X Co, of Nos. and II Stone Street New York city, cost It's buyers In South Af- rica S212,564. The same cargo. at do- nestle prices, If sold to buyers in New York City would have cost $246.04b. Thus, on the cargo of this one small steamer (of only 2.s7O tons register) a rebate of $s3,4s1 was made in favor of buyers in South Africa. In other words, owing to the power which Re publican high tariff taxes give the trusts to charge high home prices without fear of foreign competition. this one small cargo would cost Amer ican buyers s334sl. or 15.7 per cent more than tho trusts are glad to sell the same goods for to buyers on the other side of the globe. When the re bate on the cargo of a single small steamer on single trip amounts to SS3,4S 1t Is clear to anyone at all ia miliar with the fact that hundreds of | ships and steamers are engaged In car rying American goods to foreign buy ers that the sum total or rebates to foreigners must amount to an enor- nous sum; and persons experienced in the export trade know that the sum to- tai of rebates to foreigners must amount to an enormous sum; and per sons experienced In the export trade know that nearly all exported goods are sold at lower prices than charged in the home market. These facts are known to the customs officials, and should be known to the Secretary of the Treasury. yet Secretary Shaw re- peats statements that have not only been disproved, but are refuted by nu- merous oficial reports of his own De- partment

English Testimony.


 The Chamberlain Tariff Commission, comprised of some sixty of the leading business men of Great Britain, began taking testimony and securing evidence some months ago relative to the gen. eral subject of tariff duties. The re- port of this commission fairly bristles with such items as these:
 Firms Nos. 1510 and 1511:
 Our experience is that We are fast losing the Canadian market for tin plates. and the Americans have recently sold at least 100000 boxes there. while 1t Is reported that they have also taken orders for Australia.
 The Iron Age of February 4, 1904. gives the price of 20 by IA tin plate at s3. 64 f. o. b., Chicago. or 15s 9d. a box. The present price of English tin plate is about 10s 9d. net f. 0. b. Swansea. Not withstanding this difference in favor of our tin plates, the Americans have booked Canadian orders at a price de- livered Canada less than f. O. b Swan sea price of English plates. The tar ms put on tin plates by the United states have completely killed our trade With that country. except as regards small export of tin plate for reexpor- tatlon on which rebate of 99 per cent. Of the tariff Is allowed" ."

COPPER EXPORTS ARE
 STILL VERY HEAVY

Boston, Oct. 3l.--All the repor tS from the best copper authorities still agree that the metal situation is mak ing steady improvement. Each day now is showing an increased demand, both from foreign and domestic sour ces. Lake copper is holding strong at l3lc, and within the past few days local representatives of Lake produc- CTS have refused that price for round lots.
 New York metal brokers report that heavy orders are now being placed for shipment to Germany during the first quarter of 1905. The exports thus far this month exceed 2l, 900 tons, and it looks at present as if record breaking shipments would bs made in NOvem- Der. Conditions generally remain phenomenal, and the best opinion still holds that l4.ceEt market is just ahead. Indeed, report came from New York yesterday to the effect that one of the largest producers of Lake copper would enter the market today as sellers at l3tc.

A GREAT ELECTRIC PLANT

A sample of the great progress the world is making in electrical develop ment is noted from the Lake Superior copper country. At it's smelling works and stamp mills on the shores of Torch lake, at Lake Linden, the big Calumet X Hecla Mining company has under way the construction of q mammoth electric plant, the putting in commis- sion of which is to be followed by sweeping changes in the mechanical departments of the mines and mills, says the Mining World. The founda- tions for the buildings are practically completed, and as the necessary equip ment, including two 6000-horse power generators, has long since been con tractsd for, the plant will uuquestio n- ably be in service next year
 As thoroughly as possible, it is stated, it is intended to introduce electrical power throughout the Calumet X Hecla system, Eventually power will be sup oiled from the Lake Linden central plant to every department, and except for that used to operate the big hoist ing engines at the mines aud the stamp heads at the mills, steam will be elim: mated. The machine shops, carpenter shops, blacksmith shops and railroad shops will be equipped with individual motors for the use of electrical power, already extensively used for under ground pumping, and at tue mills much headway in superseding steam has already been made. Even tue waterworks system on the shore of Lake Superior and the company's saw. mill at Lake Linden will, it IS stated, utilize electrical power.
 It is expected that the item saved in the fuel account will be surprisingly large The discontinuance of fuel shipments from Torch lake to the mines and the water works will in itself result in big saving, The annual coal receipts of the company are now about 225, 1000 tons.

Old Dominion a Favorite

The Boston News Bureau quotes "one of Boston's brightest copper share brokers" as saying; For spec ulation, believe Old Dominion to be the cheapest copper stock in the Bos ton market, if copper is to rise, be- cause it will represent next year more pounds of copper as compared with it's selling value than any other copper stock. l figure that it will have four pounds of copper output to $l of pres ent stock market value. Calumet has F pounds and Greene has pounds.
 "Old Dominion represents tD date nine years of disappointmsnts, but the realization Of t1 hopes, think, will come under the Phelps Dodge man. agen,ent next year"
 h another issue of the same paper 1t is stated that opinion as to what stock on the Boston board is cheapest is about equally divided between Isle Royle and Old Dominion.
 Hayden, Stone & O. were large buyers of Old Dominion. IL is thought much of the buying was for New York account.

Republicans are today going around over the territory telling the people that Arizona need expect no favots from the government in the way of aid for the reclamation of arid lands un- less they elect B. A. Fowler, the re. publican candidate to congress. Not only has Fowler and his supporters tried to drag the question of national irrigation into politics, but they have imported Geo. II. Maxwell, the rail. road lobbyist and land grabber to as sist in this work of trying to hoodwink the people of this territory. The at tempt to drag the question of irriga
 ton into the Arizonl campaign is de- grading to the republican party of the nation. It IS saying to the people that tue republican party proposes to use the irrigation fund provided under the reclamation act only for campaign pur- poses and that no section need expect to receive any assistance in their ef- forts to develop and reclaim the arid west who will not agree to vote the re- publican ticket What greater depths could party reach than to stand for proposition on which Fowler is asking for votes in Arizoua?-B Bisbee Review.

BANK OF YUMA
 CLOSES ITS DOORS

The Bank of Yuma closed It's doors last Friday morning and while the condition oi its affairs will not be de iinitely known until Bank Examiner Christy concludes his investigation and announces the result, the Yuma Sun states that the banks Liabilities exceed assets by sl2,000
 Cashier R. s. Patterson has been absent, in Texas, for two months and W. A. Bowles has been in charge. MT. BOwles, in a statement to the public, disclaimS any responsibility for the condition of it's affairs. He finds that the trouble has been brought about by bad loans, the paper being such that it could not be real. ized on when money was needed.
 He endeavored to sell the bank to J. x. Porter and $. F. Sullenoerger, of Globe, Arizona, and hoped tO the last minute of closing deal with them, but after thorough examina- tion made by them, they decided that the affairs of the Bank of Yuma were in such a condition that they would not be justified in attempting to handle 1t.
 The Bank of Yuma was a private institution, established in January, 1901, by Levi Spar and other capital ists of Williamsburg, Pa, with capi- talizatioD of sl0,000. The bank did a thriving business, apparently, from the very start, and the cashier, Mir. k. $. Patterson, had the confidence of the entire business community, as was shown by the fact that large deposits were made only the day before the doors were closed,

ZEAL WITHOUT DISCRETION

For some time past it has been known that Wm. Sparks, member of the Arizona Rangers, who is stationed here, was openly disregarding tie in structions issued by Governor Brodie to the ranger force to refrain from talk ing any part in local politics. Mir. Sparks has openly advocated the elec- ton of Pollard Pearson, republican candidate for sheriff, and in doing so, has seen fit to cast aspersions on the character of the democratic candidate for the same office, Ed P. Shanley.
 Mir. Sparks has also asserted that there has been illegal registration of voters, particularly in the Roosevelt precinct, and upon his representations and at his request, Ranger Peterson was sent here and will, we understand, proceed to Roosevelt, where on cleo ton day he is to exercise surveillance at the polls and decide who are and who are not entitled to vote. Mir. Sparks, it is said, will attempt to use his authority in similar manner at the polls In this precinct. although Sheriff c. R. Rogers has stated that he needs no outside assistance to main tain order at the polls or to protect the sanctity of the ballot, in any precinct in the county.
 The democratic county central com mItte has taken this matter up, and yesterday informed Governor Brodie by telegraph of Ranger Sparks atti- tude and program.
 While MT. Sparks has made an ef- ficient officer and his record, for the most part, is commendtble, yet his lack of discretion has impaired his use- fulness in this county, and it IS our candid opinion that he should be trans ferred to some other point.

The success of the Mark Smith meet ing here and the very heavy defection of republican voters from the support of B. A. Fowler, their party's candi- date for delegate to congress, has had a demoralizing effect upon the local republican organization, and impared the chances for the success of republi- can county candidates. On the other hand the splendid demonstration in be- half of the democratic leader has given confidence to the local candidates of that party and practically assured a democratic victory at the polls next Tuesday.

There has been some discussion as to the right of an elector to vote in an other precinct than the one in which he IS registered, and the general con census of opinion is that he can, as he cannot be challenged on that ground. There are only six causes for which a voter may be challenged, as provided in Par. 237l, Sec O3, as follows:
 lst. That he is not the person whose name appears on the register 2nd. That he has not resided within the ter ritory for one year next preceding the election. 3rd, That he has not resid- ed within the county for thirty days next preceding the election. 4th. That he has before voted that day. 9th. That he has been convicted of felony. 9th That he has made bet on the re- suit of the election.

The republican party of Arizona has made two bluuders in this campaign, either one of which must have proved fatal to their chance of electing the delegate to congress. The first serious mistake was in selecting Mir. Fowler as their candidate, man almost unknown outside of Maricopa county aud out of harmony with the people of the terri tory. The second blunder was made when George H. Maxwell, the $50, 000 railroad lobbyist, was imported from the east to stump the territory for Mir, Fowler while the most influential re- publicans of Arizona, with two or three exceptions, have refrained from giving NIT. Fowler that support which he had reason to expect and without which he could have no possible hope of success. lt becomes more and more every day that Mir. Fowler was put up by his party for slaughter.
