THE nUNICIPAL ELECTION.

| In the month OF Nav next the PEG
pie Of Franklin will b. called upol
again to elect Il mayor and five
councilmen from the fact that the
term of service of the present tow
government will have expired by tina,
time. 1t would be well for us. before
we seek new material. to reflect upon
| thOughtfully and consider we'll the
benefits received by our municipality
| from the wise administration of the
| present incumbents. If this is done
with dispassionate and judicial fair
| ness: if their acts and their work are
Judged impartially, we do not hesitate
to say that all OF our citizens who de-
sire the continued betterment and
prosperity Of our public service. will
unite in requesting them to stand for
reelection. They have inaugurated
material improvements themselves,
and continued to success those com
menced by their immediate predeces-
sors. They have met with prompt
ness every obligation of the town as
1t became due, and have done this
to without imposing any undue burden
on our people. They have admins
tered the public funds with signal
honesty OF purpose, and have faith
fully seen to it that not one cent of the
peoples money was spent other than
for the public good. They have not
performed miracles they have not
erected prodigious improvements by |
placing on our town crushing bur-
den of debt, in spite of the radicalism
of some of their would-be advisers,
but they have given our people a
wise, forceful and prosperous admins
tratiOn.
This has been accomplished largely
by the efficient tirmness, wise judg-
ment and fOrceful conservatism of our
present able mayor. Mr.. John &. Lew
IS. Mr.. Lewis has been for years the
right man in the right place. With
lim surely public Office has been a
public trust No matter what con-
urgency has arisen which affected the
peace, the rights and the betterment of
lis town, he has always been found at
he post of duty, a determined, faith
ul and able defender of the rights of
he people whose public affairs have
)een entrusted to his care and keep
ng.
We have not mentioned the subject
o Mr.. Lewis, and know not whether
lie will accept the burden of his trust
lgain: but nevertheless he is the BAN |
YER, candidate for mayor. And if ;
merit, competency and faithfulness to s
rust, receive their just reward, he is !
he choice OF all the people, and will
'e the next mayor of the town of
franklin if he will accept the position.

Hello Bill" by the Geo. Samuels |Opera Company last night at the Dun can made distinctive hit with those present The crowd was small. but the appreciation was we'll shown. The performance furnished one continuous laugh, from the time the curtain went up in the first act until the final drop. Theodore Marston, who took the lead ing role as MT. William Fuller, was ex- celient. and the scrapes he got himself into and his attempts to extricate him. self. furnished an abundance of amuse- ment. J. ".

Thornton, was another Imaginable feature, and helped to make up the excellent performance.

The passing of General Joseph Wheeler removed from this life one of the nations heroes, the truest type of the American citizen-soldier. A graduate of West Point, at the begin ming of the Civil War he resigned his government assignment and hurried away to the Southland 10 defend with his life that which he believed to be right. After those dark days were passed this brave young soldier bowed his head in submission to the will oi the Almighty, and we find him pursu, ing the peaceful pursuit of a states man and planter until the bugle cali sounded again, when he was among the first to answer the call. No incl dent served so well to prove the unity of the North and South as the picture of Old Joe Wheeler. the famous Con- federate cavalry leader, leading an army Of the Blue and the Gray in the charge up San Juan Hill. General Joseph Wheeler will live long in the memory of the people of this nation as the highest type of the loyal, patri otic American citizen. Peace to his ashes

 Arizona, however, cannot be per suaded. There have been some con yerts among the office holders. the rough riders, and among small CO terie of politicians at Tucson. but they have been unable to make but very little headway in creating pub lie sentiment Four newspapers in the territory have finally declared for the Beveridge bill on the theory that half a loaf is better than no bread al all.

The mass of the people, the business interests. the miners. and all who are concerned in the material welfare of the territory, remain stub bornly opposed 10 a union with New Mexico, and it is believed that if a vote is taken the majority against joint statehood in Arizona will be very large.
 MT Beveridge has been assured from Tucson that it will not be large enough to offset the favorable ma iority in New Mexico, and there will De no danger in accepting the Foraker amendment, provided the votes of the two territories are to be punched. But he is not willing to take any chances if the votes of the two terri tories are to be counted separately,
 The disposition of the Senate gen erally is against forcing joint state hood upon an unwilling people, and there is decided majority in favor of a referendum. The opposition to the Beyeridge bill includes some of the strongest men on both sides. Sen ator ForakeT will, as before, take the lead. He will be supported by Sen ator SpOOner, who has been indiffer- ent to the question until this session. and by MT. Flint, the new Senator from California. who brings with him such a reputation for ability and force that Mir. Beveridge declined to permit him to become member of the committee on territories of which he tBeyeridge) is chairman.

THE ORGANIZERS"
 ARE AWFUL LONESOME.

The walking organizer" who re, cei,es $500 per head for ever joiner
 he can secure for the I. w. O. A. is Illdiug Bisbee a fearfully lonesome resort. Instead of being received with open arms, he is given the mar ble heart, and if he persists in his ef- forts to organize a local union here, cent of the union miners, the organiz- CT, or organizers (the tip has gone out that more are coming), will find Bis bee not only lonesome and dull. but unhealthy as well.
 Just as the Review stated. the min
 CTS themselves are opposed to the in stailation of local union here, and | they are determined to stop it. not be, cause they do not believe in the prin. ciples Of unionism among working
 men, but for the. common sense reason l that there is nothing to be gained in 1 Bisbee by such move On the con- | trary, there is everything to lose. and these union men, who make no effort
 to conceal the fact that they are un- ion men, are plain and outspoken about what they propose to do if outsiders persist in their efforts to force @ con-
 diuon upon them which they do not
 desire, and 10 which the community
 at large is bitterly opposed.
 Organization of workingmen into a
 union has invariably been brought about for the purpose of combating organized capital with a tendency to linflict an injustice upon their employ ees. Where such Q condition has ex-
 isted there was no need of the 'or- ganizer' to fan the flame of discon- tent Injustice and Sunbearable condi- tions force organized opposition, but where none of these exist. 1t is not strange that the 'butter-in" mischief maker is given the cold shoulder in Bisbee. There must be a sense of ip- jury before there is a revolution.
 There will be no miners union in Bisbee at the present Mark the pre- diction. Not so much because rne mining companies are opposed Jo such . move on the part of their employees. not se much because the business men are not in sympathy with the move nent, but for the very good reason that the miners do not propose to have 1t,
 Tbe Review would suggest to the; organizer that he draw his salary in a more profitable field. Co to some locality where employees are not be- ing treated fairly and receiving low wages for long hours. Don't bother abou: Bisbee the union men in this town are all right, and what is more, they know good thing when they see t.

While the practice of carrying concealed weapons is not to be en- couraged, nevertheless will arrest no reuutable citizen for carrying a gun in going home or coming down town In the evening"
 This vas the statement of peace officer today.
 In view Of the recent burglaries, fires and the attempted hold-up last evening a number of citizens have stated that they will carry their guns in the evening, owing to the limited police protection here.
 There is no longer any doubt but that a gang of crooks are operating in this city. While they are dressed as hoboes, it is believed that this is merely a sham, and that they are experts in the criminal line. The robber of the Melluish jeweiry store, together with the burglary at the Kilt residence, both show that instead of having been the bungling efforts of amateurs, the jobs were neatly exc cuted and showed every indication
 A of the professional s' Whether it is the cold weather that is diving the hoboes and toughs to this place. or whether Tucson Is re- ceiving the advance guard of the gang which terrorized Douglas and Bisbee but few days ago is a ques- ton.

They drift in on freight trains and immediately seek the near est saloon. because it is warm there. It has been suggested that if the city had rock pile and chain gang perhaps the toughs may pass this city by.

IN THE SENATE.

Wm. E. Curtis, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record Herald, sends the following article concerning the chances Of the joint statehood bill in the Senate:
 Tt looks very much as if the joint statehood bill, making two states out of four territories would be passed by both houses. but the opposition is evidently strong enough and deter mined enough to secure the adoption of what is known as the Foraker amendment, providing that in the case of Arizona and New Mexico the union of the two territories as one state shall be contingent upon the consent of the people,: Wt-lErnr that provision the bill cannc- pass t1e Senate
 The advocates of join statehood insist that a majoritr or -Ea s.eoPIe of both territories are !a.oralle 10 their proposition They. ais- -cEad.ate the suggestion thai they are forcing a union upon an unwilling community. Hence they cannot consistently re- fuse the 'ad referendum amendment I understand that even Senator Bev- eridge is willing to accept it. He told me that he had no objections, but thus far has not officially signified his assent, and it is expected that he will insist that majority on joint bal lot, so to speak, shall be accepted as final. That, however, will never be agreed to by the opponents of the joint statehood btH. The Foraker
 amendment provides that unless Q
 majority of lawful voters in each of the territories shall accept the con stitution, the action of Congress shall be null and void, and that the two territories shall preserve their sep erate existence as at present until further legislation.
 Until recently 10 one outside cf AL buquerque. which hopes to be the capital of the joint state. and a few scattering politicians in New Mexico. was in favor of joint statehood, bu., since the president has declared him. self so strongly in favor of the prop cs:tion, near.y all the office holders the republican central committee. ar ? otfsr ambitious polif clans have now whIried around, which shows how m. fnenfjal man we lave in the White House. And his determination 10 do everything in his power to secure the passage of the joint statehood bill. recommended by his message, is in- dscated by the fact that he would net reappoint Governor Otero because of his attitude on the question. and he would not announce he nomination of young Mf. Ragerman as Oterc's successor until that gentleman had climbed on the platform and de cIared himself. Since those decIara- tons ] understand that public opinion has been changing quite rapidly. The people are becoming convinced that 1 their territory will never be admitted 1! to the Union except as q part of the state Of Arizona, and that they must | take advantage Of this opportunity or ! remain territory forever That ar Eunsent is being used with good es- feet, and it is predicted here that the once holders, the republican central committee. and others supporters of | the president win have sufficient in- f'oence to secure majority of the voters for the joint statehood consti- tgtsoD whenever tbat question comes 10 tbe polls II is assumed, there fore, that, f The Foraker anendmenti

The Western miner has a pretty fair idea of what constitutes the square deal" So long as the min. ing companies in the Warren District are disposed to do the right thing. it's a safe policy to let well enough alone. When the mining companies switch their policy, it is time enough then for the employees to switch theirs. Don't you.
