PRINCE IS RETURNING
Member of English Royal
Family Now on Way Home
From Quebec.
CELEBRATION CONTINUES.

Quebec, July 29.-The visit of the
Prince of Wales came to an end last
night. At midnight he sailed for home
on the battle ship Indomitable.
His departure was marked by the
same scenes of enthusiasm that &C
companied his arrival a week ago.
Troops lined the streets and another
great crowd was out TO give him a
rousing farewell.
The prince drove in an open carri-
age from the citadel TO the Kings
Landing, accompanied by his suite
and attended by a mounted escort.
AS he went aboard the ship the inter
national fleet roared a parting salute.
Quebec will continue to celebrate
for several days, but the departure Of
the prince and the official guests prac-
tically closes the tercentenary. This
visit of the prince has been in every
way a success and he has been high
ly pleased with his reception and ex-
perience. One of his last acts before
leaving was to send the mayor 100
pounds to distribute among the poor.

UNITED STATES
WILL NOT INTERFERE
Netherlands Can Paddle Cas-
tro If She Chooses.

Washington. D. c., July pa cris-
is in the affairs of President Castro
and of Venezuela that he will not be
able to put aside is believed to have
been forced by the demand of Queen
Wilhelmina, backed by the guns of her
navy.
Nothing short of an absolute at
tempt to annex territory on the part
of the Netherlands, according TO the
best advices here. will move the
United States to increase the Monroe
doctrine for the purpose of interior
ing with the program of the Neither
lands.
In fact. the United States has
wished for some time that some power
would lead off in the gentle purpose of
ment had thought public sentiment
would have sustained so radical a
measure, measures would have been
taken long ago by this country in the
premises.
The Dutch can go as far as they like
with Castro and ii is pointed out that
even If they establish a camp in Ven
ezuela and settle down to wait for an
apology this government will not take
hand.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK IS BRILLIANT.

The New York Herald which pos sesses a skill and accuracy seldomly equalled in feeling the political pulse is astonished at the result of it's re cent investigation About the first of September they estimated that MT. Taft had POS sure electorial votes and that MT. Bryan only had 161 votes of the PAP necessary to elect. In recent issue of that paper they declared that Ohio, North Dakota, Kansas and Oregon, which they had placed in the sure republican column must be taken out and placed in the doubtful column with strong demo cratic leanings. The New York Her aid during the last twenty-eight years has been an unerring political pro phet and while it is an independent paper, the forecast that they maKe shows that Bryans' election is nov almost certain. This discovery was great puzzle to tue Herald at the outset, but they have now discovered the secret. It is Roosevelt's despot ical dictation to tbe republican lead CTS that has resulted in a feeling O. disgust and apathy not equalled il Harrison's overwhelming defeat il 1892. All the leading republicans feel that the nomination of MT. Taf was not made by the republican par ty but by the direct appointment O Mir. Roosevelt himself This is a kin, of political game not -elished by re publicans and it is said that hundred of lifelong republicans in every re
 publican county are going to cas their ballot for NIT. Bryan as a rt buke for this dictatorship. They wan to teach NIT. Roosevelt a lesson tha

to the cattIemen of this territory many thousands of dollars by passing a law through congress allowing them te return their stray cattle from Mexi- co without the payment of duty; in tine face of the fact that he introduced ar secured the passage of the first b;n through eonsress appropriating m, ney for the storage of water for rrrigating purposes; in the face Of the fact that Mark Smith was closely connected with the fight in congress for the passage of what is known as the national reclamation act under which Arizona was the very first to get the benefit in the building of the Tonto basin reservoir; in the face of the fact that Mark Smith passed the law by which the counties of Arizona were refunded the money they had expended in the prosecution of In- dian offenders, amounting to thous- ands of dollars.
 In the face of all these accomplish ments and great many others not enumerated here the Risbee Miner and other republican papers have the su- preme gall to ask the question, What has Mark Smith done in congress?' He has done enough to forever endear himself to the people of this terri tory and to insure his triumphant vic tory in November despite the cam paisn of sIander now being waeed upon him.

MUD SL!NGiNG.

It was hoped by members of both parties that this campaign would pass off without any bitterness or mud singing being indulged in. It has remained for Mir. Roosevelt, the president of the United States, to lower himself to the level of ward politician and to revive the old dis gusting methods of mud singing cam paigns. Every man in the country that knows the record of Alr. Bryan, knows that he is as incorruDtible as Lincoln or Washington ever where, and superior to Roosevelt or Taft Everyone of the policies that MT Roosevelt claims as his own was talk en bodily from the teachings of Mir Bryan ard democratic platforms and it is a fact that Mir. Roosevelt never originated a single one of them. This is what makes Roosevelt so mad.

Cochise county republicans are just now very busy smelling the woods for candidates to be placed on the repub- lican ticket this fall. Aside from Jack White for sheriff there are only two other avowed candidates for place on the republican ticket and they have not been in the county long enough to become fully acquainted with the hopeless task of sealing the democratic breastworks.
