THE engineers of the Taxpayers Ticket have nominated straight list of democratic candidates, and they are seeking to whip into line democrats to vote for it upon party lines. It was shrewd move, but THE OASIS very much doubts that it will win. Many democrats are not to be led by the nose in that way, and it is widely conceded that Nogales has not yet reached a size where it would be either ad- visable, necessary or wise to draw political lines in municipal matters.
The oasis., 1904-04-02

DURING nearly ten years in which it has been published in No gales THE OASIS has never hesi- tated to stand for what it thought right, regardless of consequences. And it has been always ready to present the faith which is in it." In the present municipal campaign it stands for what it believes to be right. Of course it prefers to win for the right. But it prefers more to lose than to win in the wrong. It would be wrong to restore the women to the saloons, and HE OASIS takes its stand upon that issue.

PROPOSED JOINT STATEHOOD.

public mind, and that is the fact that the action of congress in shap- ing and passing the proposed joint state measure for Arizona and New Mexico, will be by no means final. When it is all said and done the proposed constitution for the new state will be submitted to the people of the two territories,
 and very likely voted down by
 overwhelming majorities in each.
 If it is not so voted down there
 will be the very best of evidence that those now so fiercely battling
 the proposed measure do not re-
 present public sentiment. If it is so voted down that will be the end of the proposition; and there are the proper time and place to end
 it-at the polls and by the people. But to hear and read some of the fulminations against the p TO : posed amalgamation of the two territories into one state, the in
 ference seems plain that the full minators hold to a view that the act of congress will force the pro- posed consolidation whether their people want 1t or not. But such is not the case, as the fol- lowing enumeration of the various steps to be taken will show.
 The enabling act provides that the people of Arizona and New Mexico shall call a constitutional convention to frame a proposed constitution for the proposed new state of Arizona, including in it's  geographical area both territories. If the enabling act becomes a law under its provisions the governors of the two territories will call elections in the various counties for selection of delegates to a convention, to as- semble at Santa Fe at specified time, and frame a constitution.
 Then that constitution will have
 to go 10 vote of the people. If they approve it, why there is nothing more to be said, and the state officials selected under pro- visions of the new fundamental law will take charge of the affairs of the state, and its senators and representatives, elected by virtue of the same, will be seated in the United States congress. If the people reject that constitution, there is the complete and final end to the matter.
 That it wi l l be so rejected and by the people of both terri tories-there is every reason to be- lieve. Upon all sides it is plainly that there is wide variation between the educational systems of the two territories, the systems of county government, n d procedure of local courts etc, which cannot be reconciled; and there is every where firm determination to not

DOUGHTY INDIAN FIGHTERS.
Eerolc Defense of a Little Band of
Soldiers Against a Fierce
Attack.

DIR. Cyrus T. Brady, in his stories of
Indian Fights and Fighters" in Pear.
cons, describes a battle at Powell's cor
raj as follows:
While all these preparations were be-
ing rapidly made without confusion or
alarm. the surrounding country was fill
ing with a countless multitude of In
dams. It was impossible at the time to
estimate the number of them, although
ii was ascertained later that more than
5000 warriors were present and en-
gagged. Red Cloud. himself, was in com
mand, and with him were the great chiefs
of the tribes of The Sioux. who were ali
represented -Unkpapas, Miniconjous,
OGlalas. B"ules and Sans Arcs, besides
hundreds Of Cheyennes.

that, contrary to their ordinary prac-
tice, they had brought with them their
women and children to assist in carry
ing back the plurderl These, magsed
out of range on the farthest hills. con-
stituted an audience for the terrible
drama about to be played in the amphi-
theater beneath them.
1--WE can well imagine the thoughts of
that little band Of 80. surrounded by a
force that outnumbered them one hun
dred to one. Their minds must have
gone back to that winter day, some seven
months before, when twice their num-
Der had gone down to defeat and de-
struction under the attack of two-thirds
of their present foemen. 1t is probable
that not one of them ever expected to
escape alive. The chances that they
could successfully withstand an attack
from such all overwhelming number of
foes of most extraordinary bravery were
of the smallest. But not a man finched.
not a man faltered. They looked to their
weapons, settled themselves comfort
ably in the wagon beds, thought of Fet-
terman and their comrades, and prayed
that the attack might begin, and begin
at once.
Such vas the courage and desperation
Of these Indians, that. in spite Of repulse
after repulse, and slaughter awful to con-
template, they made no less than six
several and distinct charges in three
hours upon that devoted band. After the
first attack made by the men on horse
back. not a single casualty occurred
among the defenders of the corral. 1t
was afternoon before the Indians got
enough"

THREE YEARS LABOR COLT.
A Fine Piece OF Mexican Drawn Work
Entirely Ruined Just After Its
Completion.

To spend three years upon a riece OF
work and then, by the simple overturn-
ing OF an inkstand, ruin it all is not
conducive to good spirits. but such was
the case of a Germantown woman who
for three years worked INCREASINGLY
upon a piece of Mexican drawn work,
says the Philadelphia Record. A few
days ago marked its completion, ard it
was laid out upon a table to await the
inspection of a purchaser, who had OIL
fered a sum far beyond the limit of what
one would imagine fancy work to be
worth in any quantity. The proud
owner of the work was suddenly awak-
ened from a nap by a scream from her
little daughter, and, looking at the
drawn work, imagined she was in the
midst of a nightmare. for the greater
portion was dripping with the black
contents of the inkstand, upset by the
little child. Chemists and drug stores
were telephoned to for recipes and arti-
cles for removing the stain, and after
using d quantity Of acids the ink had
faded away, and when the drawn work
had been placed In the sun to bleach,
peace was partly restored in the upset
household. When 1t came to bring in
the precious piece of linen, the first
touch made it practically dissolve into
nothing, so thoroughly had the acids
eaten into the fabric.

GROWING PLANTS IN WATER.
Corn Grows without the Aid
of Any Soil.

1t would surprise q Massachusetts
farmer to see Z healthy. prolific stalk
Of Indian corn growing from a vessel
of clear water, but such a spectacle /:
now often presented at the Harvard
botanical gardens, says the Boston
Advertiser. Fer years Prof. Goodale
has been experimenting with different
plants and different chemical sub
stances to determine ju5t what part
they play in the necessary nourish
ment of plant life. and it is a result
of these experiments that plant
growths can be made to flourish with
their roots entirely submerged in wa,
ter, without the least particle OF soil
OF course, this knowledge cannot vet
be applied to commercial purposes di
rectly, but it is applied indirectly by
the farmer who learns what chemical
agents are valuable as fertilizers CT
stimularts to plant life.
Indian corn has been mentioned a.
an Illustration because it has been the
most conspicuous. but there are in.
Vulnerable vegetables and even shrubs
and trees which thrive in, water which
has a deposit Of cersain,nhemical sub
stances, such as chloride of potash
sulphate of magnetic, phosphate OF
iron, phosphate o. potassium and some
OF the nitrates, With the use of these
it has often been sound that a plant
will grow, even though the water in
which its roots rest may be partly
frozen. Tho chemical elements are
just as active, and the growth shoots
upward in its natural manner.

WHY CIGARS COME UNRoLLED.
They Get Twisted in One Direction
in Ia Factory and in Another
by Smokers.

ut is an everyday occurrence to hear
men complain of poorly made cigars
said a well-known tobacconist one day
last week in discussing the matter with
one of his patrons, according to the Phil
adelphia Record. 1T is not always be-
cause a cigar is indifferently or badly
made that the wrapper curls up and
comes off. Very much oftener this comes
from the cigar having been rolled by a
makers left hand and later smoked from
the hand of a right-handed man.
"All ~cigarmakers must use both
hands equally we'll, and economy, both
in time and material, is the prevailing
rule in the tobacco factories. When a
piece of tobacco is cut from the wrap
per it is cut on the bias, andirolled from
left to right on the fllero and at the
same time by the other hand the remains
ing pieces are used being necessarily
rolled in the opposite way. For this
reason the nan VINO holds a cigar in his
right hand, which always receives a few
twists during the curse OF a smoke,
rubs the wrapper the wrong way, and
easily enough 1t becomesl~oQsened."
