interests of himself and associates. Mir. Stevens has been in a good many of the New England towns of recent months and finds a great deal of in- terest manifested by people of means in western mining investments and says that people are in real earnest about securing authentic information on the subject. They are anxious to learn of the practical features pertain ing to the conduct of gold and copper mining and are beginning to realize that stock selling is not mining. He finds the east over1owing with money seeking profitable investment and the numerous industrial collapses have served to direct the attention of inves- tors to the mining field.
 Thousands are beginning to realize that legitimate mining returns larger percentage of earnings on the invest meEt than any other industry but they are also beginning to learn that stock ownership does not necessarily mean ownership in a r4al mine. They stand ready to put up money and go in on propositions of demonstrated merit, but they want to be shown.

LINCOLN'S GREAT GETTYSBURG
 SPEECH.

November 19, 1863.
 FFourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this conti- nent a new nation, conceived in liber ty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on great battle field of that war. We are met to dedicate portion of it as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never for get what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather tc be dedicated here to tue unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly re- solve that the dead shall not have died in vain that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the peo 2le, shall not perish from the earth

IS JOINT STATEHOOD SETTLED?

Below will be found the expressions of two reliable authorities-the views of an individual who knows, and the voice of a paper that is recognized as 1uential-covering the question of statehood for Arizona. The telegram cannot be disputed, while the journal istic sentiment of the Denver Republi- can is complete reversal of its for mer self and of less than one year ago. In either event, there is no disputing the fact that sn far as single admission for Arizona is to be figured out under the conditions apparent at this time, there is but an idiotic belief that Ari- zona will be recognized. On the other hand there is a great possibility that the bill as it passed the house and is before the senate, calling for joint ad- mission, will prevail. There is every thing to support thisl belief, and there is nothing to expect otherwise. In the event of the passing of the jointEbill 1t will serve Arizona perfectly right
 At time when it was demanded that a man be sent to congress who would be in harmony with the dominant par ty-in the white house, in the senate and in the house-every influence desired in our behalf has been openly and notoriously insulted by the eIec- tion of the strongest democratic par tisan in the territory. Under these conditions we have again demonstrated our unfitness, and if We have to pay for the folly of again doing so none will be to blame for the passage of the joint bill but those who sanctioned it with their ballots. They demanded practically of congress what is believed now to be crystalizing. ....... !

Bernard, democrat, is elected joint councilman from Pima and Santa Cruz counties, over Dickerman, republican, by a scant majority of but one vote. The official count changed the reported election of Dickerman. This gives the democrats seven countcilmen in the next legislature, instead of six, and they will have accordingly majority of two instead of the council being a tie vote between the two parties.

THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.

Some very earnest religious bodies have energetically renewed the agita- tion for the introduction of the Bible into the public schools, while others are insisting that the government of the United States shall force the CIT culation of the Bible in the Turkish empire.
 The San FIancicso Call very perti- nently asks if it is not possible that these good people misconceive the purpose of the public schools and the functions of this government?
 The public school is an entirely sec uIar institution, says the Call. It is supported by taxation of all the peo- pie, regardless of their religious views. The theory of the public school as an American institution is that the well fare of the secular state depends upon the intelligence o6 the people. There fore the state takes charge of their education and provides the means of imparting it, for the purely secular purposes of perpetuating government that requires general intelligence for its own preservation. Is it not true, then, that the state under our sy stem has nothing to do with the spiritual affairs of the people, which belong to kingdom that is not of this world?
 If the Bible be used as literature in the schools, it must be subject to the same explanation and interpretation as other literature, and the state will find itself involved in supplying an official exegesis of the various proof texts of the scriptures, the varied in depreciation of which has caused the division of CbrIstendom into many sects. 1t may we'll be insisted that such exegesis is not proper function of government, yet it would be una voidable If these jealous people have their way.
 The constitution of the United States forbids religious test or the recogni- tion of any religious establishment, and it is best to abide by the broad idea which inspired that constitution al requirement. If the schools cease to be secular by introducing the Bible, the spirit of the constitution requires that the Bibles of all the different re- Iigions that are here shall be used. If only one be introduced it will amount to recognition of one religious estab- lishment to the exclusion of others. These will plead their constitutional right and there is no doubt that the courts will enforce it.

AID WANTED FOR
 UNFORTUNATE
Communicated ]

The Crittenton Home is not local institution. Its mission is to give help in cases of need throughout Ariz- ona and New Mexico. The needs aad the appeals for help are largely tae same in these two territories. Cur frontier position subjects us to condi- tions almost unknown among people who live more closely to their neigh boIs Hence it is that this institution has claim and is ready to give help far away as well as near at hand. Where women or children are in dan ger or need in New Mexico or Arizona there the Crittenton home has :ts work. Where there are public spigit- ed citizens in either territory there the Crittenton Home claims its friends.
 Our call of duty ii in favor of wom- en and children who are unfortunate. We are not asking, as condition of giving help, whether the unfortunate condition is resultant from fault of theirs or fro m circumstances o7er which they had no control. Thare are young girls who have gone astray without realizing what they were do ing. It is trying position for them and they cannot climb back into re- spectability and honor without help from some one. There are women Efo have gone astray and knew what tkey were doing. Yet later they come to a change of intent and long for a heip- ing hand which shall give the upjift without which they cannot regain light and relief. Others have not gene astrey and should be so safeguarded that they shall not be injured by sny of those who are ever watching to aob the body and spirit of its purity and virtue. Still others are not in danger of moral ill but sorely need tempor- ary shelter and wise counsel to tide them over a period of distress. All of this and more the Crittenton Home is established to do. Women and child ren who are in need have right of @ay here and must and do have careful at teGtion.
 The management of the Home has engaged NIT. Lyle Conner and his wife to spend some time in New Mexico and Arizona telling of the need and the organized effort to supply that need; furtheriDg the full organization of the work; finding cases of need; giving citizens and visiting people an opFor. tunity to contribute toward the sup port of the work. They will oragniZe Crittenton circles wherever they can; they will hold public meetings and they will gladly hold private conver sations. The couple are now in Pres colt and the board of control of she Crittenton Home respectfully asks tor them an audience with our fellow sit izens and with visitors and we pledge ourselves to every effort to make the home all that it should be in giving proper care and counsel to women and children needing help in these terri tories.

Private a6vices have been received in Prescott that the probability Is that the senate in the forthcoming session will pass the statehood bill as it is before them, in which event Arizona will be hooked on to New Mexico, and joint admission will pre- vail. The same authority stated that there will be no amendments made to the bill and the possibility of fillibus- tering is discountenanced. The bill will be early considered also in the forthcoming session.

Mukden, Dec. 6-The report that Gen. Renenkepff has administered heavy defeat to the Japanese continues to circulate among the Russian troops, but it has not yet been officially con firmed. To earlier rumors mentioned there is added the report that the Russians have succeeded in carrying off twenty four guns which they cap tured in the rout of the Japanese, but were at first unable to remove them owing to the crossfire from the Japan ese force. No general change in the condition at the front today.

The special telegram to the Phoenix Republican of Saturday from Wash ington says:
 Delegate Rodey of New Mexico reached the capital this morning to renew his fight for statehood for the territories. MT. Rodey is outspoken and positive in the declaration that statehood for New Mexico and Arizona as a single state and Oklahoma and Indian Territory as another state is absolutely assured. He has assurances from prominent men of his party which he believes cannot be gainsaid.
 "We also hope to have the number of representatives in the new state in creased from two to three, and will base our claims upon the population now actually in the territory, as shown by the recent registration and election.
 Another amendment we seek will be an increase from s1O0,O00 to $50, 900 of national appropriation for the current expenses of holding the first election and constitutional conven- tion.
 Discussing the statehood situation the Denver Republican says editorial Iy on November 30th:
 The question of admitting the re- maining territories as states will pro- bably occupy a good deal of the atten- ton of coIgre ss during the winter ses- sion. A bill is pending to admit New Mexico and Arizona as a single state, and 1t seems to present the only pros pect for statehood for those territories in the near future.
 It is understood that the measure has received the approval of President Roosevelt, and it is asserted that it is joint statehood or none at all. So far as the present congress is concerned, there is no question that New Mexico and Arizona will be excluded unless they come in as a single state. What they might look for in the more or less remote future is different mat ter.
 United they would make a great state, and each is so little developed as yet that they would easily and speedily grow into each other if placed under the same state government. Their resources would be great enough to support a large population, and the new commonwealth would speedily rise in strength and dignity.
