On Tuesday Afternoon, while car
load of steers were being unloaded on
Chase Greek for the Clifton Meat
& Cold Storage Co., one of them
escaped from the herd and raised
general Commotioa all over the
works. He first struck the boiler
shop, but after sizing up Foreman
Dan Lynch, he wisely concluded to
"cut it out" He next visited the
b.acksmithshop, and the machine
shop, and scattered the men gally-
west. Foreman HugheY Forbes of
the blacksmith. shop, was caught
with the goods, as it were. He had
no opportunity to make a graceful re-
treat, so he grabbed. the steer by the
horns, and was thrown about twenty
feet, but even then the steer was not
satisfied, for he pursued him and
trampled upon him after he was
down. He then charged the mould
ing shop, and had everything his own
way, for his reputation had proceed
ed him, and the boys lost as little
time as possible in their getaway.
After roaming around through the
works he again visited Chase Creek,
and fell off the bridge into the creek,
where he was roped by Jim Norte
and Joe Dial. 90.

ON Saturday last the central COM
mittees of both, the republican and
democratic parties hefd-meetfngs- at
Phoenix, at which ringing resolutions
were declared against jointure, and
,4ledgipg both parties to7a .nen-politi-
cal campaign. There we're a few
members of the democratic central
committee who, were. favorable Ito
jointure, but they we're read out. of
the party and men who were in har-
mony with the party named in their
place. Several jointists, nearly all
of whom carried proxies, attended
the, republican committee meeting
and made a hard fight, but they were
SO overwhelmingly sat upon as to
leave no doubt as to the sentiment of
portant of all questions for the
future welfare of Arizona. The re-
publican party has manifested its
patriotism for Arizona, and in doing
SO has eliminated the question of
politics from the issue. 1t has even
done more than this. for it has de-
clared most emphatically against
jointure, and every man who has
political ambition will be guided
thereby. No man who ignores the
platform of his party can expect
anything in the future in the way of
political preferment. Those who
favored jointure in the meeting of
the committee are as a class Office
holders, or men who. are anxious to
secure office, and take this means OF
securing favorable consideration
from the administration at Washing
tom -They~certainly have a right to
vote as they choose, but as republic
cans they have no right to fight the
platform of their party. They
should be treated as the democratic
central committee treated it's mem
bers who ignored the platform of
their party. AS a whole the@republi-
can party has done well, and will be
greatly strengthened in the terri
tory. e There will be time enough in
the future to- take care of those who
would sell Arizona's future welfare
for a political office.

home Monday evening from FL -Paso

which took place-on Saturday-and
Sunday. From all reports the Cliff.

no trouble in slzinning their oppo-

put up an unusually good series, but
they were so Thoroughly outclassed
by the Arizonans that the result was

accompanied the boys and it is said
lost his voice roofing for his
favorites. Just when FL Paso will

played good ball and represented
Clifton in a creditable manner by
bringing home the two scalps. They
were met at the depot by the Clifton
band and shown good time upon
their arrival home.

THE following editorial from the
last issue of the Bulletin shows the
stupidity of its editor, and also
proves.that he is attempting to in
feet politics into the statehood fight:
"The democratic party of Graham
county is outspoken upon the ques-
ton of joint statehood. There is no
quibblinrg in the straightforward
resolutions adopted by the demo-
people in this county who favor joint
ure are leading republicans, and it is
doubtful just what stand the central
committee of that party would take
upon the question: OF -courst~@ the
rank and file of Graham county Re-
publicanS are overwhelmingly Op-
posed to joint statehood, but the
rank and file in thearepublican party
have very little voice in shaping the
party's attitude upon public ques-
tions. From Washington to Graham
county the republican party is led by
d few "divine right" bosses and the
party voters follow like sheep. 1t
would, therefore, not be surprising if
in this county, where it is safe to say
that there are not 100 voters who
favor jointure, the republican party
would Officially" declare for the ad-
ministration.'
This article was printed several
weeks after Chairman Kibbey, of the
territorial central committee, had
issued a call for a meeting of the
committee to taking action against
jointure, and eliminating politics
from the campaign. 1t was printed
more than three weeks after Chair
man Cleaveland, of the Graham
county republican central commit
tee, had issued a call for a meeting
of the committee for the same pur-
pose, and one week after the meeting
had been held at Morenci and pre-
sided over by the chairman, in which
democrats, socialists and republicans
participated, and at which time and
place strong resolutions were passed
against iointure. These resolutions
declaring for a non-political cam
paigfl were printed in the local
papers, and also IN the territorial
press the same week the above edi-
torial appeared in the Bulletin. The
editor must have been aware of these
facts, therefore it is apparent that
he is willing to jeopardize the cause
of statehood, hoping to thereby gain
a slight political advantage in county
affairs. 1t is probably not necessary
to add that the editor of the Bulle-
tin is a Johnny-come-lately. No man
who has the real interest of Arizona
at heart would stoop to such petty
and contemplate methods for any
purpose. There is too much at stake
in this matter to inject dirty politics
into the statehood campaign, and be-
sides that the facts are -diametri-
cally opposite to the editorial state
ment of the Bulletin, whose editor
has written himself down as an ass.

that brought forth protests that could not be per-
manently disregarded.
The measures the passage OF which the presi-
dent regards as of the most vital concern are the
railroad rate bill, the meat inspection amendment,
the pure food bill, and the measures dealing with
free alcohol, the Panama canal and reform of the
consular service.
1t will not be forgotten that the principle Of
several of these has for years been main
tained by the Democracy so that while the credit
of enactng them into law undoubtedly belongs to
Republican congress, credit for the original sug
gestion and advocacy of them unquestionaby be-
longs TO the Democracy.
Though congress has enacted these laws which
of conspicuous merit and likely 10 prove of
great advantage TO the people as whole, it has
failed signay to perform its full duty in some
other respects
Among the things left undone that should have
been done are the revision of the tariff with rela
tion to the Philippines and the prohibition OF con-
trbutons to political campaign funds by national
banks and other corporations

chievous practice in the other, bills were passed
