and somebody who sees a stake worth while, else he would not take this des- perate gamblers chance. We might turn to those forces which tried by bribery and intimidation to force the original Hamilton bill through con- gress, but we can hardly bring our selves to believe that they would spend their own money in this hope less venture. The bribes they had of fered consisted of the peoples money and the land. the birthright of this 1 region.
 "we must look else where for the sorce of the Arizona jointists' sinews of war. There is the syndicate which ! has bought up s90o.00o worth of New Mexico's repudiated bonds and an in- definite volume of those million or more dollars worth of militia war rants.

WHO Is PAYING THE FIDDLER

There is one thing connected with the campaign being made in Arizona 1T, favor of joint-statehood which is caus- ing great deal of speculation and guessing. Who is paying the fiddler while C. F. Ainsworth and Tom Fitch are carrying on their statehood skirt dance through the territory? All who are acquainted with Ainsworth and Tom Fitch know that they would not sition in Arizona to joint-statehood unless they had received a retainer; they are both lawyers and with law yers, while their profession makes them available for the defense of all classes of criminals, they are always spond with the heinousness of the crime of their client On this basis the compensation of Messrs. Aims worth and Fitch, who have undertook to defame the good name of Arizona by declaring from the stump that it was inferior to New Mexico and that the subservient mining vote in Ari- zona should be overcome by the ranchers and sheepherders of New Mexico. The Arizona Republican has been energetic in trying to find the source from which comes the supply of gold to keep up the jointists in this territory and we believe the Republi- can has discovered clue which will be we'll worth following up. In its last issue the Republican says:
 We cannot shake off a feeling Of mild curiosity regarding the source of the money used in carrying on the joint-statehood campaign in Arizona It is certain that it is not contributed by the residents of this territory There is no financial property inter- ests here which could be benefited oy jointure. The broken down politi- clans of Arizona and those who htve not yet been able to 'break in" are not the angels" for they haven't the
 money. But the money is here. Judge B. S. Rodey, of Porto Rico. has not travelled 5000 miles for nothing and Col Thomas Fitch would not outrage
 his conscience for paltry sum. Judge Ainsworth can htrdIy be supposed te have become suddenly improvident oi

MIR. CANYONS BOUQUETS.

The bouquets which Speaker Can non is flinging at Missouri these days are not repaid with democratic smiles. They do not at all requite the great wrong he did this queenly state by voting in the past session of congress the six republican proxies he got from Missouri against Missouri interests up- on every occasion.
 Though living just across the river since his youth, Mir. Cannon seems only just now to have discovered Mis- souri and the rich endowments which nature has conferred upon her. In the novelty of his find he seems strangely fascinated by the mountains and streams, the minerals and forests. the glorious scenery, the genial eli mate and the fertile soil of the best state among the forty-five.
 It must seem to Mir. Ca~-~1 a shame that this garden sI.a, C. ne earth, this paradise of tic NOIl4, should have been so yilelr F!a7dCrad by the republicans who oAIos ,..c priv ileSe of living in it, and so hindered in the realization of the blessings it possesses by the adverse legislation of republicans elsewhere. It is too much to hope that a tender conscience will prompt him to devote the remain der of his vigorous old age to vindi- eating Missouri and repairing the wrongs she has suffered through re- publican legislation.
 But MT. Cannon's admiration of the good things of Missouri is more than open to the suspicion that it is taint- ed with envy and covetousness. Hav- ing found Missouri republican con- gressmen in his hands as clay in the hands of the potter he naturally wants to keep those he already has and to get more if possibue.
 There was a mental reservation or two in the warm indorsement which Mir Cannon has given to the Missouri

THE VOICE OF \ FRIEND.

The country's sense of fair play will doubtless be gratified by the action of Arizona in refusing to be bound to New Mexico. Both of these territories are developing rapidly. and it was a mistake to attempt to destroy their individuality ana limit their expan- sion. Railroads are tapping rich ore fields in both territories. Irrigation is working it's wonders in their valleys. Their forests of pine are the largest in the country. snl are supplying all the adjacent ter ritory. Population of the right sort is pouring in. The conditions which existed in New Mexico for half cen tury are rapidly passing. while Ari- zona's immense resources are attract ing a permanent population. Each of these territories will soon be entitled t- statehood, if 1t Is not ready now.
 we lieve the time will come when the eoo,e of New Mexico will be gratefa. ., their more independent neighbors for defeating the attempt to make one state where there should be two.-washington Post

MANY WHY'S ON THE MAIN QUESTION.

The Kansas City Journal has been always one of the strongest opponents of the proposition to make one state Of Arizona and New Mexico combined. That paper has published from time to time many articles showing why neither New Mexico or Arizona should consent to the jointure. In an article published a few days ago the Journal submits Q number of pertinent ques- tions, all of which are important to the people of the two territories in their consideration of the all import ant question of joint-statehood. The article follows:
 ''why should either New Mexico or Arizona wish to. unite?
 "why should either territory pre-
 fer to be represented in the United States senate by two men insead of four?
 ''why should the people of Arizona prefer a journey of eight hundred
 miles to Albuquerque to reach their capital, as against journey to Phoe- nix?
 "why should the people of either territory prefer single state govern ment spread over an empire further in extent from east to west tran Chi cage is from New York as against two state governments administering the affairs of two states of asca25le size?
 Why should the people of either territory care to cooperate with those
 narrow and selfish customers Happily few in number) who seek in every way possible to minimize the political
 pwer of the growing west? ''Why should the people of either l territory wish by their votes to in
 dorse the slanderous" and insulting re- port of the Washington committed
 that saw in the might kingdom be-
 tween the Pecos and the Colorado
 nothing but worthless desert and i hopeless people?
 "why should the people of either representation in national affairs for | all time for the sake of pleasing a few office holders or prospective can l didates who see personal advantage in 1 immediate joint statehood? Why should the two territories give themselves the bother of strug-
 gling for years to harmonize their di- vergent and almost irreconcilible sys- | tems of law and finance? Why should the Mexicans of New
 Mexico wish to hasten and emphasize their inconsequence in their own na- l tive territory by adding it to the non-
 Mexican population of Arizona? | Why should the non-Mexican peo- | pie of Arizona desire to be annexed
 to the large Mexican population oi
 New Mexico and for long time be
 almost wholly ruled by it? why should the people of eithel territory wish to abandon the political and social structure which they have toiled so long and so brayely tt l create?
 Tn short, why should the people oi
 the territories prefer one state to two
 when they are sure to have two 1T the near future?"

NEGLECTED IT
 PUBLISH GALL

On account of the neglect on the part of the International Light & Gas Co. to publish the call for an election to determine the sentiment of the taxpayers of the city in regard to granting a franchise to use the streets of Bisbee, that company has now for feited the right which the city coun- cil granted.
 There was great many legal tech nicalities in connection with the granting of municipal franchise un- der the laws of the Territory of Ari- Zona, and unless they are all complied with, the franchise may not be grant ed. Following out the procedure pre- scribed by the territorial statutes, the International Light & Gas Company, through it's attorneys, presented an or dinance embodying the franchise they desired to the city council about a month or six weeks ago. The fran chise granted to the company the
 right to use the city's streets for the laying of wires, erection of poles when necessary, and all other pur- poses incidental to the installation of a complete and efficient electric light ing service. The ordinance, how ever, contained some matters which were not acceptable to the council, and the ordinance was referred to the city attorney for his approval. After taking the matter under considera-
 tion, the city attorney reported cer- tain changes, which were also ac- ceptable to the attorneys for the com pany, and were inserted in the ordi- nance.
 The council then accepted the or dinance, and approved it. The next step was to call an election, to as- certain the sentiment of the tax pay CTS of the city in regard to the mat ter, and the result of this election | would deterine whether or not the | franchise should be granted. The council designated November 18th as the date upon which the election l should be held, at the expense of the | company, and the matter of publish i ing the necessary election call, which 1 is required by the statute, was left to the attorneys for the company. i The statute requires that the call ! shall be published for thirty days pre- | ceding the day of election and as
 the company has neglected to comply
 with this requirment, it is probable
 that the city council will take the
 matter up at their next meeting and | declare the privilege forfeited.

By Train to Havana.

Work is in progress which will make
it possible within two or three years
for traveller to enter railway car in
Jersey City and leave it at dock in the
city of Havana. The line now running
to Miami is in process Of extension to
Key West. Surveys and soundings
made some years ago demonstrated the
feasibility of filling some and bridging
others Of the channels which separate
the little islands, or so-called keys, that
extend westward from the tip of the
florida peninsula. Key West will soon
be the terminal OF this coast and island
railway route.
The proposal is to establish ferry
system, with boats Of train carrying
capacity, between Key West and Havana.
The through journey should be made In
about fifty hours With traffic to war
rant we'll ballasted roadbed, heavy
engines and fast ferryboat, the run
might even be made in forty hours with
out breaking any speed records.
1t is safe to predict not distant day
when Cuba will become winter resort,
not only for tourists but also for American
residents. 1t requires no stretch OF the
imagination to see a time when Cuba 3

westward to the United States naval
station at Bahia Honda will be dotted
with the winter homes of Americans.
A trolley system is already pushing out
in that direction. There is now no
proper ground for doubt that day will
soon come when the New Yorker may
board train at the new Pennsylvania
station in Seventh avenue and leave it
only to take trolley car or his private
automobile to his winter residence or a
hotel in Havana, Mariel, Cabahas or

may perhaps be questioned, because
under the new German tariff the Execu-
tive would be at liberty to levy even
on those American products which are
now on the free list duties as high as
90 per cent. ad valorem In favor Of
retaliation on our part, however, IL
might be argued that as the most i'm
portant American commodities on Ger
many's free list are copper and cotton,
which her manufacturers must have,
no imposition OF duties on them would
be tolerated. In word, from whatever
point of view tariff war between Ger
many and this country Is regarded we
should get the best OF it.
We presume that as an equivalent for
his temporary suspension Of the maxi
mum duties Chancellor Won BtLow will
request our Government to do what it
can to modify some Of our customs regu-
lations and proceedings. German manu-
facturers have complained long and Bit
terly of the mode OF valuation followed
by our custom house officials. Those
functionaries often, IL not always, we
are told, decline to accept the valuations
certified by the United States consul at
the port Of shipment and substitute
higher valuations Of their own. The
German manufacturers hold that when
their products are valued for tariff pur-
poses the export price and not the
domestic price" should be taken as the
basis of calculation. In Germany, as
in some other countries-Russia, for
example-there is a material difference
between these prices. 1t may be that
Secretary RooT and Secretary SHAW
will be able to make such changes in our
methods of computing duties as will
meet the wishes of German shippers to
a certain extent.
