RALLY ROUND COOPER.

Hon. Wm. r. Cooper returned to Phoenix this morning with even great CT confidence of success than he felt when he passed through the city on his tour of the northern part of the ter ritory There is nothing now to be done to assure his success but for the republicans of Arizona to stand behind him.
 It is the widest folly for any re- publican to support his democratic op- ponent for any reason connected with the statehood question. Republicans for years. that is. many republicans have been supporting MT. Smith in the hope that he might secure the admis- sion of the territory. It is unnecessary to recount the reasons why he failed. No democrat could have done more but we believe there have been times when a republican delegate could have sue ceeded
 We do not believes there will be an agitation of the statehood question in any form within the next two years. There will, therefore, be other work for the delegate from Arizona to do. There will be public buildings to get and there will be other things for congress to bestow. Who can better do it. republican delegate or a dem ocratic delegate?
 MT Cooper is a gentleman of per suasive manner and the most untiring energy. He proved that in his two terms as district attorney of Pima county. He is believed to be the best district attorney that county ever had. He will accredit himself no less as delegate from Arizona.
 Some of the jointists believe that with MT. Cooper as delegate there will be less probability of an early reopen '. ing of the joint statehood question. We do not know how widespread among them that belief is but it is not a good reason why any republican joint ist should vote for MT. Smith. As We have said. there is not the remOtest prospect of jointure during the term of the next delegate to congress. who ever he may be.

THE WATER WORKS QUESTION

It is stated that steps have been talk en in negotiation with NJ. H. Sher- man for the purchase by the city Of the Phoenix waterworks. We think that in the circumstances, if the al ready existing water works can be se- cured at fair price. their purchase would be generally approved as a good business proposition. It is needless to sav that The Republican 'has been Of the opinion that the city would be-bet- ter off without waterworks of its own; the policy of municipal ownership has seaerally been found to be an unprof- ifabie one. and more cities are aban- donine it now than are adopting it. A sufficient majority of the taxpayers ot Phoenix. however, thought otherwise. } and voted bond issue of $300.OO0 for the purpose of building a competing system Or waterworks,
 It Is contended by experts that $SOO.- bDn win not supply Phoenix with an adequate system but that before long it would be necessary to have another f,and issue ln order to make prac- ticabge use of those already issued. w" do not know what the Sherman system will cost. but it is said that it can be procured for much less than $300,0OO- It is not such a system as Phoenix would require in a few years. but r. is susceptible of extension and en- fargement. Another thing to be taken into consideration, the requirement Of the present system would obviate Q more or less disastrous competition for the next ten or a dozen years of the life of the Gardiner franchise.
 It is true that under the terms un- der which the S3OO,OOO bond issue was authorized, the proceeds of the bonds could not be applied to the purchase of the existing waterworks but with the consent of Phoenix taxpayers, congress could be asked to extend the authority of the council to expending the money for the purchase instead Of the building of water works. We be- lieve that a majority of the taxpayers would give such consent.

tram abutor?" This accusing interrOg- atory has rung down through nearly twenty-One centuries, still hot with the indignation of the great consul orator against the man who sought the de- struction of Rome. The soul of Cicero spoke in the terrible indictment of the conspirator. He was engaged in the saving of county.
 It is a long way longer it is true, than can be mee"ured in centuries, from Cicero to Col. Fitch. but we be- lieve- that the colonel could have done better if he had been saving a territory instead of urging it's destruction.

From reports from San Francisco, we judge that the death angel on Aprll IS last was neither very thorough, nor very discriminating. A great many more of the citizens could have been spared than were taken away. It may also be remarked that the outlawry which exists there by official apathy if not by official sanction, is not eX- pediting the appearance of Greater San Francisco of which We hear so much.

AIDS TO ORATORY

The popular impression that the ora torical powers of Col. Thomas Fitch are in rapid decline. has been gained from his progress through the terri tory in the course of his jointure cam paign. It has been everywhere re- marked that there is a sad absence Of that old fire and magnetism, that apt wit, that logical reasoning and that clear, ringing voice all of which com bined for nearly half century to make him easily the leading orator of the Pa citic coast.
 We are not sure though, that Col. Fitch is less an orator than he was twenty-five years ago. True, ne is well advanced in years, but he is a younger man than Gladstone at a time when there had been no diminution of his great oratorical power. There are scores of public speakers in this coun- try older than Col. Fitch, whose power over their audiences is as compelling as it was in their physical prime. It must be confessed that there was a manifest weakness of voice, wit and thought in Col. Fitch's address on Saturday night, as it is reported there was at all his previous appearances in the territory in the course of the cam paign. But may it not be that Col Fitch was handicapped by his cause? May he not have been embarrassed by shame? May not his position have talk en the heart out of him? An orator at his best. nut have the approval Of his own conscience and must be buoyed up by moral and physical courage.
 Col. Fitch was without any of these necessary aids to powerful effort Without them, it is no wonder that his voice had lost it's former volume and was weak and thin by comparison. It is no wonder that he halted and stammer- ed and that his logic was ragged. The words were there, but they were empty and without power to move the audi ence as they had done in other years.
 On a public occasion in Los Angeles only a few months ago. Col Fitch de- ivered a patriotic address which was described as a masterpiece of oratory. IL is said to have eclipsed the best eff forts of his earlier years. We can hardly believe that he could have so sadly aged since then.

THE Talk of the Town

Every one has good word to say about anything they like. Take our valley. for instance. Every one is in love with it. Just take a trip east or
 west. north or south. over the valley, you find great fields of alfalfa, large herds of cattle. great hocks of chick ems. fine vineyards of luscious grapes and hundreds of acres of good land that the government is going to re- claim. One cannot stay here a year and then stay away. Massie has tried it three times. and he is now back and head over ears in work. selling goods to his friends. who are all looking him up. He handles everything new and second hand. and his prices are surely lower than the lowest.
