Kibbey succeeded in getting another appoint ment from Roosevelt as governor, but in his annual report to the secretary of the interior he omitted any men. ton of the fact that Arizona was en- titled to statehood or that the people desired it.

SOME FACTS ABOUT VENEZUELA.

NENGE0G@A-
 Venezuela. which is attracting al. tention once more through the demon. ,stration which is being made against 1t by Holland, is a country of 593. .4ss square miles of territory. and with a population of approximately .2,4o0, ,OeO inhabitants.
 The coast was discovered by Coium- bus in 149S Ojeda and yespucci wis ited it in 14ss and found in Lake Mar acaibo an Indian village whose houses were constructed on piles to guard against the rise of the water, where upon they named in Venezuela, or Little Venice. the name subsequently adopted by the whole country. vene- zuela remained colony of Spain Gntil lS11, when it rebelled, but went back to Spanish rule until two years later, then forming with Ecuador and New Granada the republic of Columbia. In 1880 it withdrew from the confedera- sion and has since been independent.
 It has an extremely warm climate along the coast and through the river basins, that of the Maracaibo valley being the most torrid found on the continent. SIoping back, however, the land rises to an altitude of from 20O0 to 1000 feet. which greatly diversifies the crops. The principal industry is agriculture. and cc1ee, cocoa. sugar cane. maize. cotton and tropical fruits are raised Copai, rubber sarsapariIla and cinchona are either gathered or raised and much valuable cabinet wood Is exported. Herds of sheep, cattle and goats .graze on the upland regions. and wild animals abound in the. forests, large portion of which have not been explored.
 Mines of gold. copper, coa., salt. silver, lead, tin and iron are worked, the Fl CalIaO gold mines having a yield of ss.oOo,OOO Der year A mum. ber.of asphalt lakes also exist and it is through the franchise for exploiting them that much of the difficulty which has existed between Venezuela and other countries has arisen, foreign in terests claiming that they have not had fair treatment at the hands oi fheUenezuelan officials and courts.
 In 1898, there were 1882 miles of telegraph lines, and in 1899, there were only 52e miles of railroad in operation. The highways being very poor, the principal means of trayel is by river. There arc but 214 post, offices in the entire country.
 The government of VenezueIa is patterned after that of the United States. By the constitution of 1901 it is divided into twenty states, fed era1 s.asstysef. two national. settlements and four territones. It has a con gress of two houses, and president elected for asterm Of six years ,Fhe history of the country has beer large Iy thai of usurpation of the pfesi dency by some successful revolution ist. and his becoming dictator.

NEW BOARD OF
 SUPERVISORS.

The board of supervisors of Cochise county after tho first of January will be changed in political complexion by the retirement of William NJ. Riggs. democrat, and the coming to the board of Jake Shearer. a republican. The new board will be made up of Johnny Bowen of Risbee. G. J. Mic Cabe of Hereford. and Mir. Shearer. Bowen and McCabe have served to- gether on the board during the past two years. Mir. Saearer, the new member is a pioneer resident of the couzaty and one of it's most substan- tial citizens. Until recently Mr. Shear 1 CT had been in the cattle business in fhe sulphur Springs valley for more than twenty-five years. Selling his l,eattIe interests he removed to Doug. I las, built for himself and family a handsome residence. besides invest. ing in other valuable property in the city. Mir. Shearer may be reiied on to stand for economy and the square deal between man and man and be tween the county and its citizens on every matter presented for consider ation.
 Mir. Bowen has served for six years continuously en the board and IS therefore the senior member. He has made good record and at all times has shown good judgment in passing on matters coming before the board, He has always favored a public spir- tied policy, but at the same time in, sisted on economy.
 Mir. McCabe was elected two years ago and was reelected last month for the long term of f"Gr years. He Is one of the best known men in Cochise county, as well as being universally i popular He resides on a ranch in i the Huachucas where he went to live at the end of a term as postmaster at Bisbee. Owing to the political com plexion of the board and the past ex, perience of Mir McCabe it Is the general expectation that he will be made the new chairman after the first of the year. MT. McCabe has during the past year taken a deep in. terest in the investigation of the meth cd of dry farming and has been carry ing on personal experiments near his home in the Huachucas
 While those who ran for supervisor and, were defeated had many friends who regretted the political results in their cases, still there hardly will be found any to doubt that the present board of supervisors of Cochise coun, ty will be capable and efficient in pub, lie duty. N.-.
 Governor Kibbey and Ralph Gamer on are still in Washington, but there are no tangible evidences that state

Last Saturdays dealings on the New

crooked that even the complaisant code
OF ethics which rules that institution
called for action of some sort and an
investigation is promised to discover the
crooks who engineered the game. In the
face of enormous transactions. there
was so little change in prices as to

group was making matched" sales.

the business were selling through one
set OF brokers and buying back the
same stock through other brokers'

IN THE OTHER FOOT.

When sagacious old Mark Hanna
ruled the destinies and pOcketbook Of
the Republican party, he directed his
main appeal in campaign fights TO the
workineman. The full dinner pair' OF
Mckinley fame was one of his pet slo-
gans. and he worked it night and day
for all it was worth. Naturally opposed
10 organized labor in any form. he was
still wise enough TO avoid antagonism
OF labor organizations. and among his
ueutenants. mercenary lieutenants,
were some of the abIest labor leaders in
the country.
This was the period in party history
when the Republicans promised any
thing union labor asked, but promised
il. for future delivery. After Hanna's
death a new regime came in. II IL had
heen left to Roosevelt's control alone
there would have been no break with
organized worNingmen. Ample evidence
of this was the presidents message on
the employers liability bill and his mes
&c ON the need of modifying the in
junction laws. II was proved further
by mis- efforts TO incorporate in the Chi
cago platform a plank on injunctions
which would meet the views of Mr..
Gompers.
II happened. when this question came
mn. that the men in control of congress
were hostile to any legislation demand
- by the labor organizations. Not only

this, but they were ready to slaughter
any measure the president favored, so
there was dual object in killing the
bills asked for by the president and de-
feating his labor plank at Chicago.
Now that the fruits of their opposition
is seen in the trend of labor toward the
Democratic party. the Republicans find
nothing too bitter to express their
hatred of Mr.. Gompers. who represents
the Federation of Labor. and who is
doing his utmost TO defeat Speaker Cam
non and such other candidates for re-
election as were antagonistic to the leg

last session. The full dinner pail NJ
longer is a symbol of the benevolent at
titude of the Republicans toward the
laborer: il is no longer full. and it calls
up sad memories of the day when Han
mas legions of noble Iaborers shouted
for Mckinley and his party.
The shoe pinches now and there Is no
apparent way of stopping the pinch.
But II is entirely pertinent 10 ask now
why it is wrong for Mr. Gompers or any
other leader of labor to support Mr..
Bryan if it was right for equally con-
spicuous leaders TO support Mckinley
and call on their brethren in labor TO
follow them into the Republican camp.
The alignment is 1t stands is entirely OF

the masses of the people; they ought not
to complain now at the result since
they might have foreseen il months ago,
and, indeed, invited 1t openly.
Further. the attitude of labor is only
an incident expressing the attitude of
the great majority. the common folks
who are tired of seeing monopoly con-
troll legisla ton and direct the govern
ment. The time has come for a new
deal In which the people shall rule: and
l1t is only natural. not only that labor
should take part in the general move
ment. but that every man who depends
up0n his own exertions for bread should
rebel against party that prefers to use
its political power for the aggrandize-
ment of monopolistic corporations al
the expense of the whole country.
