imposed upon articles of foreign prod uct and manufacture, so that the grasp of the trusts in this country might be in 8 measure loosened from the throats of the people. but there was no possibility to get such a meas ure before the house under the "standpat" edict of Speaker Cannon.
 Discussing the present condition of the one-man rule in congress, the Den yer News says, editorially:
 The pure food law and the state hood bill. as well as the beef inspec- tion matter, have called renewed at tention to the tremendous power pos sessed by the speaker of the house. The rapidity with which he can get action when he wants it is proven by the statehood bill, but the pure food measure passed after sixteen years by the senate seems to be hopelessly buried in the house by will of the same supreme czar. The bill is with the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, and only the speaker can bring it out.
 The Literary Digest gives a large collection of clippings from papers of all parties, showing that the public is fully aware of who is responsible for the delay of the pure food bill and determined to make Speaker Canon feel the effect of public reproach.
 But more serious than the fate of the pure food or any other bill is the danger 10 democratic institutions in having such a ruler in the nation legislative halls that any one man can defeat a measure in spite of favora ble majority"

THE TERRITORIAL EXAMINERS REPORT.

There has been much ado about nothing with reference to the terri torial examiners report. Rumors have been rife, most of them evidently eminating from the office of the dis trict attorney of the county, to the effect that the report would call atten- tion to gross neglect of duty on the part of various county officers tthe office of the district attorney except ed,l and that when the report was made public several Democratic county officials would be on the run.
 Last night the report was present ed to the board of supervisors. It proved to be a harmless instrument and of so little importance that the board of supervisors put oil it's cor sideration until the regular quarterly meeting In July.
 The reported story, told to the Re view by the under sheriff Of the county. who gave as his informant the district attorney regarding the treasurer's report, proved to be man ufactured out of whole cloth. There is not a word in the report that re- fleets upon the integrity of the county treasurer in handling the pubic funds or in the conduct of his office.
 Neither is there line in the report that shows that any county officer has been guilty of misconduct or mal- feasanee in performing the duties of his office.
 From a reading of the territorial examiners report it does appear that in some instances a different con- struction has been placed upon cer- tain paragraphs of the statutes by some of the county officers and the territorial examiner. If the examiner is correct in his construction of the law, county officials will be willing, no doubt, to follow his advice. but no- where in the report Is it charged that any county official is short in his ac- counts, or have the interests of the county suffered by a failure to per form an official duty.
 The promised sensation has not been forthcoming.

ONE MAN POWE H.

The present session of Congress will come to an end during the next few days. During the days of its con tiruance no fact has been so indelibly stamped upon the public mind as the one that the Republicans, who held control of the lower house, agreed that all national legislation proposed should be subject to the will of one man-the' speaker of the house. It was demonstrated during he session HOW closing that Speaker Cannon was able ao defeat any measure de sired regardless of the convictions of tEcse constituting the membership of the body over which he presided. Only in one instance did he fail to have his autocratic way and tbat was not because of any protest coming from congress, but resulted from a storm of public opinion which poured in upon Washington from every section of the country. Sneaker Cannon failed in his purpose to force the people of Arizona into statehood with New Mex ioo against their unanimous protest because it became plain that the peo- ple of the United States would never approve of such a bold trampling upon Ihe rights of any people living beneath he folds of the American flag and on American soil
 Under the present rules of the house iC lies within the power of the speaker with the assistance of the committee on rules named by him, to prevent the appearance even on the floor of the house of any measure which be is opposed to. and it lies within his power to cut of all debate. as was shown by the manner in which the statehood bill was whipped through last winter.
 All the Democrats and many of ire Republicans of the present session were desirous of modifying at least . number of the customs duties now

TOMBSTONE, June 22.-When the matter of entering up the judgment in the case of c. R. Bostwick came up in the district court this morning, At torneys Sutter and Goodrich for the city made an objection to the part of the judgment as claimed by the plain tiif for interest on the amount as found by the jury m the sum of $500. The plaintiff had the interest figured out from November 20, 1902, to date. When the matter was acted upon by the court he decided that the plaintiff could only recover $500 and interest on it at legal rate until it had been paid by the city, together with the costs of suit that amouned to s54. By the ruling of the court, Bisbee will save in the neighborhood of some s40O.

The people of Arizona expect to see Governor Kibbey stand pat for his
 convictions on the question of state hood for Arizona. Governor Kibbey
 has been firm in his opposition to the proposition to join Arizona with New
 Mexico as one state, and that he will remain so, regardless of his chances for remaining in the governors of flee, is the unanimous opinion of those who are acquainted with his makeup. In our opinion there is just as much probability of Governor Kib- bey changing the views of Roosevelt

sition to joint statehood as he ever was. The Arizona Republican, the ac- knowledged leading Republican news paper in the territory. would never agree to an endorsement of the state hood policy advocated by Roosevelt. The Republicans in every country in the territory, along with the Democrats, have been earnest in their efforts to save Arizona from joint statehood with New Mexico. Will the Republicans of Arizona now aban- don Arizona at the command of President Roosevelt? They did not during the long and bitter fight in congress. and We have a better opin. ion of them than to think they will now, notwithstanding the predictions of the Star.

President Roosevelt may give to Arizona a new governor, if he will, but this fact would only increase the majority against the joint statehood bill In this territory and prove be- yond controversy ehat every word spoken by Mark Smith about ithe aeans adopted by the president and Speaker Cannon in their effort 70 force Arizona into a joint state with New Mexico was the gospel truth.
