AN oBIter LESSON

THosE who have SO great fear that in the new state New Mexico will dominate and work injustice to Arizona can see an object lesson in some of the counties in Arizona. Pima and Yuma are cases in point. In each there is q strong statehood sentiment. Neither party has dared to antagonize that sentiment, but has put jointure men upon it's ticket. In Pima there are three lointureites on the democratic ticket, and four on the republi- can. And the platform of the re- publican party in that county has not a word to say about jointure, and endorses Cooper very feebly. In Yuma county the republican platform says not word about statehood, and does not even en- dorse Cooper. The point is that in both parties in those counties they dare not antagonize the state hood vote. Now in the new state it will be the same way. Politics will be played there just as they are being played now in the two Arizona counties cited. The New Mexico politicians in both parties will be looking out for votes in the Arizona end of the state; and they will carefully refrain from any thing that will alienate Arizona voters. That is all there is to it.

THERE Is pending in the courts right now suit or suits against the last democratic sheriff of Santa Cruz county for money illegally collected from the public treasury. It takes long time to get back into the treasury money lost in that way. But the eminent dem- ocrats then seated on the board of supervisors have never yet explain ed how they permitted the then sheriff to get so deeply into the county finances.

not going Go desert nov those who had supported hum T6g Otps discredits tbe entire story fl tbe offer was made there is no doubt that tbe tepl, credited to Judge Ainsworth is the one Chat was made But it does not believe that anyone from Cooper made any such offer. The story looks like an effort on the part of the Bisbee Review to break whatever force the canvass of Cooper among the miners has had. There is no doubt that with his Typographical Union card and his working of the labor union string Cooper has cut into the Smith vote in the mining camps. and the Review and it's echoes wish to nullify that. Sc the story told was invented and circulated.

SATURDAY last the Bisbee news. papers arriving at Nogales Sunday published a special telegram from Phoenix stating that representa- tive of Cooper had approached
 Ainsworth and offered as an in- ducement to the latter to withdraw from the contest for congress, to throw d large part of the republi- can vote to joint-statehood. The telegram stated that Ainsworth re- fused the offer. He had gone into the fight as a matter of principle, and to win if possible He was
