For weeks past Rojestvensky and
Togo have been "sparring for an open
ing" and battle has been expected
hourly for days. As neither admiral
now seems to know where the other is,
or where he, himself sis a" the world
can go on enjoying its three-squares
same as before. Now it is announced
that fighting is imminent between the
great armies of Oyama and Linevitch.
The latter is said to be ready" what
ever that may mean in Russian, and
the brown men are "spoiling for a
fight" This looks good deal like the
preliminary negotiations between mon
archs of the 24-foot ring, who are en-
deavoring to swell the gate money. If
both sides are ready, we are, so go to

CHICAGO STRIKE RENEWED

The latest advices by wire from Chi
cago Indicate that all hope of a peace
able settlement of the teamsters' strike
has been abandoned and that thousands
of sympathizing union men will be
called out in other lines, thus increasing
the terrors of the situation. A resump-
ton of the rioting which marked the
earlier stages of the difficulty is ex-
pected. There is evidently determin-
alton on both sides to fight finish bat
tie. AS the police force and sheriff's
possess have been barely able to cope
with the sit uation as it is, an appeal for
military interference may be looked for
any day. The scenes of the great rail-
way strike are likely to be repeated.

THE CITIZENS DUTY

On Saturday next, May q. the anti
Joint statehood convention will be in
session at Phoenix. The governor of
Arizona will greet the governor of New
Mexico hundreds OF leading Arizonans
will contribute the influence of their
presence many of them will raise their
voices-i in thoroughly Analysing the
situation which confronts the people of
the two territories and the organization
to be perfected will endeavor to formu-
late a plan which shall secure single
statehood for Arizona, or at least de
feat the double-headed infant plan of
the machine politicians at Washington.
1t is well known that President Roose-
welt is not inclined to listen with much
favor to the arguments of democratic
politicians and that he has been furn-
ished with queer pair of "specs by
the schemers of the republican ma
chine, with which to view the statehood
proposition.
Therefore the convention should be
prominently citizens meeting with
politics relegated to the rear. A mons
ter petition from the people, on which
there was no name of an office holder
or prominent politician of either party,
would probably cause the presidents
eyes to open wider than all other
methods.
1t is the duty of every citizen of
Arizona of Globe to attend this
meeting, if possible, and the railroads
are doing their share to make the bur
den of expense light one. Tickets
from Globe to Phoenix, good to leave
any day, Friday inclusive, and to return
May %, have been placed on sale at
one and one-fifth fares for the round
trip.
1t may be worth many times $40. so
to record your protest against this
iniquity. Other cities will send large
delegations ; Globe cannot afford TO let
the occasion pass unrepresented.

The unsettled state of foreign affairs,
together with the effect of alarming
cables manufactured in the British.
French and German exchanges, have
given the Wall street bear enough Of a
foothold to start a sharp downward
movement in stock values. Non-divi-
dend payers and wildcats have slumped
heavily, and even the gilt edge variety
have had sympathetic declines just at a
time when the general conditions are
such as to make good old fashioned
bull market. The rule of contraries
seems to be in effect just at the
moment.

Another handful of chopped horse

The Gar of Russia g. has at last seen
the error of his ways" as the late
ARENAS Ward was wont to say, and
granted to Poland and the people of
the Balkans the reforms which they
have begged for many years and but
recently denied. What has brought
about this sudden reversal of form :"
on the part of the Russian autocrat
does not transpire, but the people af-
fected are not disposed to question mo-
tives in view of results.

Illinois will soon test the new law by
which candidates for U. S. senatorships
must go to the primaries and their
nominations depend on the result of this
quasi-popular vote. If the right peo-
pie attend the primary elections an ex-
preston of the voters preference may
mean something, as the members of
the legislature would hardly dare coun-
Ter the implied wish of the popular
voice but it is not the history of
primaries in general. The expense of
each candidate will probably not be
greater than before, only the fund "
will doubtless flow in new channels.

when the dam is completed. The
Roosevelt people are not losing any
sleep over this coming disaster (?) as
their buildings were all constructed
with full knowledge of where the
water level will finally be, and they
will build no arks in preparation for a
flood. A thriving town will be located
on the high ground, facing the great
lake and it will be permanent, hand
some, and its name Roosevelt.

A rumor is current that Secretary
Paul Morton will shortly retire from
the cabinet. For the information of all
who are anxious as to his future move
ments we give the latest authoritive
statement MIR. Morton will soon
resume his position with the Santa Fe
at the request of President Ripley; -
Paul Morton will become partner in a
Wall street banking house on retiring
from the cabinet :" Mr.. Morton has
been secured by Geo. Gould as mana
ger of the Wabash " the statement
that Mr.. Morton will retire from the
circle of President Roosevelt's advisors
is denied by those who are supposed to
be informed by the inner court.

REFRIGERATOR CAR MONOPOLY

One result of the beef trust investi-
ton is already manifest and the people
win. The refrigerator ear monopoly is
doomed and it is reported that the Ar
mour line cars are for sale The great
railways have all signified their inten-
ton of at once purchasing the requisite
equipment and will compete for the
fruit and produce transportation form
erly controlled by the great ring of
owners. 1t will be interesting to note
the charges for freight, re-icing and
demurrage, etc. under the new regime
and easy to determine whether this is
square deal or only another Of
those gentlemen's agreements with
Armour's fine Italian hand in the back

DON'T WAIT ON THE LAW

There are conditions which sometimes
arise, and there are times in the history
of every community when it is perfect
ly justihable for the people to take
matters into their own hands and not
wait on the tedious delays of the law
to furnish protection to their homes and
families. Such time has come in the
history of Globe, the welfare of the
community demands immediate and
drastic action. There are two crying
evils which need to be remedied and at
once. and there is no time to question
whether there is a law covering the
case, or whether there is an officer
sworn to enforce the provisions of such
law il it is in existence. 1t is time to
act and every citizen is in duty bound
to assist in the work of safeguarding
his home, his business interests and the
life and health of those dependent upon
him.
There are many structures of fiimsy
character, roughly built of inhammable
wood which becomes as dry as finder
in the long summer season, and only
requires spark to kindle into flame.
The rubbish which is TO be found in the
rear of our business buildings mass
of paper, straw and excelsior packing,
empty boxes and other waste which is
merely kindling is often piled against
fences or walls and closely adjacent to
oils, paints and other inhammable stuff.
Should a carelessly dropped cigar
stump, cigarette end or lighted match
fall on such place a terrible fire might
result which, on windy day, would sweep
away the fortunes Of many of our most
thrifty citizens. Such things have hap
pened, do every year, and why the peo-
pile of Globe should consider themselves
immune from such a possibility is hard
to understand Yet by carelessly al
lowing these accommodation Of rubbish
in dangerous places they are really in
viting disaster.
The second danger which menaces
our peace and happiness as commun-
ity is the old time habit of allowing
all sorts of refuse from the table, the
kitchen and persisted perishable oifal
such as fruits, vegetables and like germ
breeders to accumulate in unseemly
places. whereas, the simplest thing in the
world is TO burn all such trash every
day before it has the power TO breed
disease and SOW pestilence. There is
enough decaying rubbish in the bed Of
Pinal creek wash to cause an epidemic
of dozen different diseases having
their origin in these germ hot-beds.
Let the people arise en- masse and
correct these evils Let each citizen
organize himself into vigilance com
mittee of one and see to it that these
elements of destruction are not allowed
to remain longer in this thrifty com
munity and Danish the danger from so
much of this fair town as he may have
personal jurisdiction over. We know
you're awful busy and everybody is
doing very nicely, thanks /" in the
way of general prosperity but there is
time TO spare for the correction of
these evils and that time has come
A splendid observance of decoration
day in Globe would be TO decorate the
entire city by washing its face clean,
stamping out all possibility of danger
from the above causes and taking out
general blanket policy of insurance by
removing the danger of fire from the
exposed localities.
