TERRITORIAL FAIR.

Now that the irrigation congress has come to and end in Albuquerque it is we'll to remember that it is impor- tant to have Cochise county we'll rep resented in the exhibits at the territor- ial fair at PheoniS. which will begin on the ninth day of November. Coch- ise county did well in attracting at tention at Albuquerque by sending a mineral exhibit which was the equal of any other at the exposition. Coch- ise county already has an attractive mineral exhibit at the fair, but we notice that call has been made for a supplemental exhibit of certain ores found in this county and other coun- ties of the territory which have not yet been provided at Phoenix.
 Not only should Cochise county supply the very best of it's minerals for exhibition at the territorial fair, but it should also send an exhibit of it's varied industries and enterprises. During the present season we have seen fruits brought to Douglas from orchards in the Sulphur Springs val ley and in the mountains which would
 
 attract attention if exhibited at the Phoenix fair; we. have seen vegetables and melons brought in from the SuI phur Springs valley ranches that are equal to any grown in the west. All these products should be shown at Phoenix as an evidence of the ad vance of the agricultural interests in this section of the territory.
 Information which has been com ing to the fair commission is to the effect that unusual interest is being manifested throughout the territory in the forthcoming fair and it vii be surely the most interesting ont ever held in the territory. Cochist county should be represented there in proportion to her importance and the several commercial bodies should get busy in the matter of soliciting exhibits from every source. In tho county there are several manufactur ing establishments and each should be urged to have an exhibit at the coming fair.
 Arizona is making rapid progress every year and there is no better place to make this known than by showing the results of industry to the many thousand visitors who will be present at the fair in Phoenix in November.

For a political game played by the willy ones the slaughter of Galen F. Humbert, of Bisbee for the nomina- tion as a candidate for district at torney in the republican convention last Saturday was certainly the limit. The republicans are now paying tri- bute to the ability of HumBert and his excellent qualification for district attorney; but these same republicans are the very ones who handed the lemon to Humbert after he had gone out into the county, secured the con fidence of the people and won a large majority of the delegates in the con vention. Evidently it was thought that the presence of MT. Humbert on the ticket would interfere with some of the favorites of the republican machine in hie county. We'll we de sire to add to the testimony of the republicans that MT. Humbert is a very fine gentleman and that he is qualified to make a good district at torney of this or any other county, hut MT. Humbert is not the Republican candidate having been handed the cold init by the machine and that, too, after he had secured a majority of the delegates.~IThe defeat of Humbert in the manner it was brought about will no doubt cause the gentlemen in the future to consult the republican mach inc in this county before offering him self for office.

STATEHOOD ISSUE.

The republican speakers last night stated that Mark Smith had in his past campaigns promised the people of Arizona that if elected he would secure the passage of statehood bill for Arizona. Mark Smith never made any such promise in the past or in the present campaign. The republi- cans are the ones who have always raised the howl of statehood as a cam paign issue, claiming that it was nee essary to elect the republican candi- date in order to have the good will of the republicans in congress. This claim the democrats have always de nied and deny todaS. and the correct ness of the democratic position has now been proven by the direct prom ise of the republican national conven- ton for the immediate admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states, regardless of whether they elect democrats or republicans to con gress.
 We defy the Morrison Brothers to point to time or place when Marx Smith promised to secure the passage of statehood bill Cor the territory if he was elected to congress. No dem ocr;Sic paper has ever predicted that the election of Mark smith would in sure the passage of statehod Eill.

MAINE JOINS oREeoN.

It will be news to most people that at the recent election in Maine con stitutional amendment was adopted providing for the initiative and refer endum. Thus the extreme northeast eln state joins the state nearly simi- lariy located on our northwestern coast.
 The vote was nearly two to one, which shows the extent to which the east is becoming infected by the radi- calism of the west" and that the old hard-heads of the state from which only the young remove and to which nobody immigrates are gaining conf dence in their own wisdom.
 The act is -ather more carefully safeguarded than that of Oregon. It provides for referendum following the enactment of an initiative law, and requires large petition in all ether instances.
 The chief provisions are as follows: Legislative enactments are not to take effect until ninety days after their passage If during the interval a pc tition signed by ten thousand voters is filed demanding the submission of an act to the people, the act is not to go into force until and unless approved by a naority at the next general election.
 In other words, laws will not be laws in Maine if challenged by the Trescribed number of voters unless a majority of the voters ratify them. To initiate measures. petitir ms signed by twelve thousand will be required. Any pI, ut ga! so peuitioned for must be enacted and, a. the option of the legis- lature, referred back to the people at general election for their adoption or rejection.
 There is probably no other state in the union where it would be as safe to place the right to directly enact and repeal laws with the people as in Maine. There is TO other whose pop ulation is so fixed and has remained for years so stationary. Nor Is there any other as little mixed in its popula- tion-Duluth News-Tribune.

TRUSTS AND

POLITICS.
 One of the developments of the presidential campaign this year is the fact that the people have made up their minds to in the future have nothing to do with any candidate or politician if it be shown that he has any connection now or has ever had connection with the Standard oil com pany or any other predatory corpor- ation. This was shown in both the cases of Foraker Snd Haskell; both parties recognized that these men could not be permitted longer to con tinue in the campaign of their respec- tative parties while they were under charges. The elimination of these gentlemen from their party ar- filiation does not necessarily mean that all that was charged against them was true. but it does mean that both parties recognize that there has grown up such an adherence of trusts in the public mind that neither party can afford to be tainted with an even remote connection with these preda- tory corporations.
 If this be the state of public mind, as it undoubtedly is. what may we expect to see happen to the repubr- can party this fall? What will the people, who will tolerate neither For aker or Haskell, because of their trust alliance history in the past, say to continuing the republican party in power in the face of the fact that this party has been sustained in the past by contributions from the very men with whom Foraker and Haskell are only accused of having had past at- filiations? Is it any less a political crime for Foraker to accept fee as a lawyer from Archbold than it was for Cortelyou, the republican cam paign manager, to take from Harrl- man the $260.o00 which that railroad magnate contributed to the Roose- welt campaign four years ago?
 If the trust taint has proved fatal to individuals will tt not prove fatal to the party which has been paying its election expenses with funds supplied by the trusts?

WHAT A FARCE

Did you ever stop to think what farce the convention business is in
 this great Territory of Arizona? Here the county supervisors advertise four weeks notifying the voters of a pri- mary for what? For nothing as the Leader looks at it. Simply because ,he political parties hold mass meet ing few days before the day set for the primary and there select the dele gates 10 the county convention and then at a great expense to the county they hold election primaries just to ratify their nominations. This is not all, but they select IA to IS delegates on each side of the question and when the day comes for the convention three or four fellows go to the conyen- ton carrying the other fellows vote in their vest pocket. Do you call this If you do we fall to see it. In the first place if we are Co hold conventions why not let the different parties select their delega-

The republican platform of Cochise county did not go very strong in it's endorsement of Ralph Cameron. It simply repeated tfe old cry that the republican party will never grant the people of Arizona their just rights until they decide to vote the repub- Iican ticket. If Cameron is the only hope of statehood, then. indeed. the people of Arizona are doomed to wan der on in the territorial wilderness.

Christmas of 1857 dawned cold and
cheerless in the Walla Walla valley.
Chill was the wind that b,eW over
the snowy plains, and down along the
creeks edge the vapor arose from the
snow. Snow as far as one could see,
nothing but snow, save where the val
ley was cut by one of the small
streams that gave it the euphoni-
Gus name of "Walla Walla."
From the crest of the farthest noun
tain, clear down as far as the eye
could see toward the breaks of the big
rivers to the west, was the robe Of
snow, cut only in few places by the
water that flowed through, or patched
by an occasional clump of trees or
brushes. A dreary waste of moS.
monotonous white. on which wandered
no living thing, and through which it
was almost folly to venture
The huts of Fort Walla Walla, then
in its second winter, were huddled
cheerlessly against this background of
white and the few trails that led from
the enclosure all went one way, to-
ward the water Along the water was
the food for the horses and along the
water the men herded them every day,
returning at night before the early
shades of dark settled over the snow
white of the prairie
Around the campfres on this Christ
mas morning were gathered the men
who composed the garrison. The talk
that morning was of but one thing,
the scrap" between Bud Bentley and
Big Jim ballard. who was reckoned one
OF the hardest men in the fort. That
Bud had dared answer him when call

that Big Jim had not smashed" him

So it was arranged this way. The
boys fixed it up to '1et on like
they were not in the game. AS Red
had prophesied, Bud was eager to get
out of that scrap and half an hour
after. when Bud had scarcely entered
the place, Red dropped in and said:

With a heart lighter than it had
