FLEETWOOD LETTER MEETS APPROVAL.

Commenting on the letter written by Hon. E. E. Ellinwood, chairman of the Democratic Territorial committee to Hon. W. F. Timmons, of Yuma, and published in yesterdays Review, the Arizona Republican says:
 The views of Chairman Ellinwood of the Territorial Democratic Commit tee aa 10 the duty of committeeman in the matter of the jointure question is a sound and unassailable one. It is ap- plicahle not only to the jointure ques- tion but te all questions in which is crysta llized the sentiment of the par ty at its last opportunity for expres- sion.
 Mir Ellinwood's doctrine was laid dorn in the case of a member of the committee from Yuma county who it was stated had been converted to joint u7e, and was intending to obtrude his ner.born notion either in person or by proxy upon the committee at it's next meeting.
 sThe chairman recognizes the right of tke Yuma member to entertain any onirlion on any subject and to change i. Nherever he chooses, but the mem, r4- .o--in@ed that he does not rep regent himself or his own views but the sentiment of the party at the time of the selection of the committee by 2 convention which declared plainly .g,;nst ioint,Ire. This member could have had no new instructions from the party since then, so that he must bs bound by tho old ones. If he can not conscientioualy carry out these instruc tioas it is plainly his duty to resign and associate himself with others Il his way of thinking.
 ..The doctrine is applicable to the Republican committeeman as well as to the members of the Democratic committee. for the last Republican con ventfon made an equally plain decla ration against jointure. We believe there was not the slightest dissenting opinion on that subject.
 Thus anti-joint statehood IS one O the tenets of both the Republican ant Democratic parties of the Territory.
 rThis reminds us that in its lates issue the Oasis declares in criticism of the Clifton Era: An alleged Repub Iican paper which does not favo jointure is not Republican. That's al there is to that When did anti-join statehood Republican papers cease U be Republican while standing on th most conspicuous plank of the Repuh lican platform two years ago? Ther has been no substitution for that planl since, and there could be none befor the next Republican convention.
 Admitting that the national Reput Iican convention may lay down tn principles of Republicanism for tn states and territories, there has bee no expression by that convention o any other body authorized to fix o change the policies of the party. Ther is no authority in this matter excep that which rests in the voters Of Ar zona"

Hon. E. E. EllinwoOd took the scalp of the joint statehood members of ibe democratic territorial committee with the first blow. The democrats who composed the last territorial conyen- ton laid down the party policy Cn joint statehood. That policy will he reiterated by the next convention and these who cannot agree to it should at least have the decency to retire rom the party councils.

 tention to the reports coming
 from some portions of Mexico
 concerning a proposed attempt
 to drive Americans and other
 foreigners from the country.
 He said he had heard nothing of this matter in the section Of
 Sonora south of Douglas and
 that he did not believe there
 had been any such agitation in the state of Sonora.
 He gave it as his opinion that the better class of Mexicans would not be found connected with any such move, as should the Americans and oth- CT foreigners leave Mexico practically all the industries , which now give to Mexico its unusual prosperity would come } to an end.

 "The circulars which have been posted on trees, fences and houses in Mexico warning the 'grinaos' to leave are the product of the St. Louis jun ia.
 The movement is one not so much against the Americans as it is against the Diaz government. and most Of those who are fighting the present Mexican regime are doing it because for good and wholesome reasons they were suppressed in Mexico in the commission of unlawful acts.

There is inquiry for all kinds of old to-
bacco, but the supplies to meet this de-
mand are at minimum Most Of the
transactions for the past week were for
1905 Wisconsin. The prices at which
these sales occurred may seem high, but
it may safely be asserted that they are
cheaper than the 1906 will be offered at,
as the packers have in some instances
paid as much for the latter crop as the
former is bringing

briskly, in spite of the high prices. The
inducement is simply that the manu-
facturers need the goods.
Havana. The reports from Cuba dur
ing the past week have to great extent
been of a reassuring character. 1t is
known that the cyclone did not destroy
the seed beds entirely, which means that
there is still possibility of crop. The
government, it is stated, is taking a
hand, and through its agency plants are
being distributed among the more needy
farmers. Advances are being made the
vegueros by packers; all of which is
helping to relieve a bad situation. One
firm even announces that unless further
revolutions, cyclones, pestilences and
disasters intervene, the next crop may be
considerably better and larger than the
last one. The price of seedlings has in

Tobacco growers in Miami Valley re-
port that there is unusual activity in the
market at this time, the buyers in the
field being about as thick as the worms
were in the summer.
The American Tobacco Co., it is said
started 20 men on the road Monday
morning with instructions to "clean up
the valley" and from present indications
there will not be many crops unsold by
the middle of November.
Prices are ranging from 1913 to ID
cents for Spanish, with few sales above

number of buyers in the fields previous
to Monday, the American Tobacco Co.
had not bought pound, and the fact
that the company started in with rush
is, the farmers say, indicative that they
will clean up everything within short
time.-News.

The buying of the new tobacco crop
continues steadily, though the packers
are not Illuminating their purchases with
pyrotechnics. In fact, they are going
about the buying very quietly, doubtless
with view OF not causing raise OF the
already stiff prices by unduly exciting
the market. The prices still continue at
IA to 16 cents, with few higher prices
reported here and there. Some of the
dealers, who are In position to make a
fair estimate, express the belief that
about half the crop has already been
sold. Stripping is also in progress to
some extent.
There was considerable activity in the
local leaf market last week, most of the
goods that changed hands going off in
small lots. The largest sale reported
was that of A. FL. Hershey & Co., who
sold 600 cases of 1905 goods. The same
firm purchased 400 cases of 1905 tobacco.
The packers could soon empty their
warehouses if they would let go at the
prices offered. around 20 cents pound,
but this they are not willing to do, claim
ing that they must have more in order
to get decent profit on their holdings.
The situation is embarrassing to many of
the packers, who need room in their
warehouses for the new crop. Doubtless
some are kept from purchasing new
goods because of the money still tied up
in their 1905 packings.
The cigar industry continues to boom.

MUCH interest is being shown in the
recent announcement of First Assistant
Postmaster General Hitchcock that he
will recommend TO the next session of
congress substantial increase in the
pay of employees of the postal service. As
a matter of fact the ordinary run of fed
eral employees are all on salaries SO low
that it requires scrimping and scraping
on their part to make both ends meet,
and this is especially so now that higher
prices for the necessities of life makes
their compensation seem relatively
smaller than ever before. In the postal
service, however, it is absolutely essen
tial to have active, alert and capable
men in charge of the work, and the de.
partment has been much bothered II
late in trying to secure the kind of men
needed for this work at the salaries Of
fered, while its troubles in this direction
are increased by the frequent resigna-
tions Of old and therefore experienced
employees, who find they can do better in
other fields of effort.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Several of the growers have their to-
bacco all taken down and stripped.
Others have it nearly all down, perhaps
one or two acres still hanging. These
last are looking for another damp, so as
to finish taking down. Those VINO had
sold their crops early were very anxious
to have it ready to be delivered among
the first of the bunch, since all were
promised when the crop was contracted
for that the tobacco was wanted as soon
as the grower could get it ready.
But the majority of the packers have
only limited amount of room, SO it ap-
pears doubtful whether all will be ac-
commodated at the first or even the Sec
ond time of receiving at the warehouse.
Knowing full we'll the shrinkage on the
unsorted tobacco in the bundle will
amount to about one pound in twelve, it
makes quite prize to be worked for.
With tobacco in bundles of 35 pounds
each the shrinkage will be about 3
pounds, and this at l8c per pound if de-
livered as soon as stripped, is as good as
19c paid after standing three or four
weeks, and 20c if the bundles are kept
into January.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Montague, Mass: II have the sale of
Donaldson & Brown to report at 16c in
the bundle, about acres. Other crops
are being held for higher prices, as the
tobacco in this vicinity is very fine as to
color and cure" Hinsdale, N. H.: "To-
bacco is being stripped. Some of the
growers are all through, and some are
only partly through with their crops.
The crop is an extra fine one and the
growers are expecting to get good prices.
There have been lots of buyers here
with only a few sales. A. B Davis &
Son sold AZ acres at 19c in the bundle
to George Billings of Hatfield Mass.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 1906.
1t was Wisconsin week again in the
market. The trading in Wisconsin bind
or leaf amounted to several thousand
cases. Being the binder leaf for mass
production Wisconsin is chiefly sold in
large lots to large manufacturers and
large manufacturers have TO provide
themselves in season with an ample sup
ply not to be caught short at the tail end
of the season in a bare market. And
considering the high figures at which
this years crop was contracted for by
the packers the prevalent market price
for last years crop may serve as furth
er inducement for the manufacturers to
stock themselves up with the compare
lively cheaper though somewhat dam
aged binder crop. But the binder move
| meIt extends also to other growths be-
sides the Wisconsin SO particularly to the
state crop. In the wrapper market the
Sumatra, just now, holds almost exclu-
sive sway. Trading in Sumatra seems
to become smooth affair as agreeable
to purchaser as profitable to the seller.
/ The Havana market is somewhat reliev-
ed of it's anxiety by the later reports on
the effects of the late destructive cy
clone. The damage done is being easily
repaired, as the farmers, who lost their
seedlings, are being succored by the
government with fresh supply. Plant
ing will of course, be rather late, and
though the crop will undoubtedly be a
short one, it is expected that it will make
up for it's shortage in quality provided

Strenuous times still ir the local cigar
factories and no signs of abatement. AS
the holiday season approaches, orders
continue to pour in in ever increasing
| volume. Things, indeed, have now come
! to such pass that many manufacturers
are taking steps to stem the flood OF
business. In some cases statesmen are
being recalled from the road, while in
others their function has come to be to
explain to their customers why their
firm cannot fill orders more promptly.
Other manufacturers again are raising
their prices to new customers, and large
orders are being turned down every day.
Curiously enough, however, as comment
ed on editorially in this issue, the govern
ment returns show considerable de-
crease in the cigar output for the month
of September as compared with the cor
responding month of last year. The dis
crepancy thus revealed is difficult to
reconcile except on the supposition that
manufacturers have been somewhat
over optimistic in their reports or that
the alleged activity of the industry is
mainly local In the matter of cigar
cites, however, the government figures
show great increase, which would in
dicate ready augmentation in the pro-
duction and entirely confirm the reports
we have been receiving for the last few
months from the factories. journal.

Buyers are still actively engaged in
cleaning up the remnants of the 1906
crop, which is now generally conceded
to be so closely gathered in that only
scattering lots remain. 1t is believed
that the crop is more closely sold even
than year ago this date. Strong prices
prevail for every grade of leaf to be got

Some old leaf is being disposed of in
small lots to manufacturers all the time,
but large transactions by local packers
are unfrequent.
Casing weather during the week has
given buyers a chance to inspect their
purchases and they are generally we'll
pleased with the looks of the cured leaf.
The next damp spell will see some por-
tion of the hanging crop removed for
