CROOKED INSPIRATION.

Upon the statehood issue as pre- sented by the Senate Committee bill last week, the Douglas Republican Club has adopted resolutions that were inspired plainly by the erro- neous assertion by Hon. John R. Hampton of Clifton, that never be- fore had Congress prescribed quali- fcations or conditions for admission of state, and that in doing so now for Arizona great injustice Is being done the people of this terri t0ry-whlch erroneous (if not maliciously false) assertion has been reiterated by every democratic newspaper in the territory without dispute from any republican paper until THE OASIS took up the mat ter recently and demonstrated the untruth of MT. Hampton's assertion by citing as an instance the admis- sion of Nebraska and the return to the people of Nebraska it's con- stitution by congress for amend ment. Following is the expression of the Douglas Republican Club:
 "That we, the members of the repub- lican club of Douglas, note with exceed ing regret the humiliating qualifications which are sought by the senate commit tee on territories to be attached to the statehood bill for Arizona, and we call upon our member of Congress, Ralph Cameron, to use all the means at his command to defeat the so-called Dilling- ham bill and have passed in it's place the Hamilton bill, which was unani- mously passed by the house and grants statehood to Arizona unqualifiedIy, in accordance with the sacred pledge of the republican national platform.
 THE OASIS learns from credible authority that in the club the reso- lution was opposed by Hon. John Doan, level headed republican who knows the history of bis country and takes not his politica inspiration from democratic bosses and newspapers Butnnfortunalely he was overruled by majority oi the club, who apparently do go to such sources for their inspiration.
 Since the action of the club men. toned the republican leaders and republican newspapers of the terri. tory are awakening, and are crowd. ing to the wall the misstatementt and distortions of history put for ward by Hampton & Co.,, and by the Kelly skindicate of corporation owned democratic newspapers. The Arizona Republican and Prescott Journal Miner have followed tn, lead of THE OASIS in demonstrating the fallacy of the assertions of MT Hampton, and Governor Sloan ha
 addressed to Mir. M. G. Burns, on, of the harmonizer committee tour ing the territory for the democrati party, in reply to a letter of in quiry upon the same senate state hood bill, an open letter that is

cause the line city offers the best climate that can be found any where short of the mild and equa- ble climate of Southern California. And being several hundred miles closer, it will be preferred for many reasons. But if the town persists in neglect of sanitary conditions that preference will disappear and valuable population that might be gained will not come.
 Every consideration goes to show that the town needs and should have a.sewer system. Yet it is man. ifest that there is great indifference to the question, if not positive hos t:lity to the proposition now in hand to bond the city in the sum of $6S, ,000, to build sewer system; and unless there is a great change in sentiment before the second day of March, on which date the election is called, the bond proposition will be defeated overwhelmingly. At the present writing 1t looks as though the vote will be two-thirds against instead of the necessary two-thirds in its support. Many who are in favor of sewer system are in open opposition to the pre- sent proposition. Under other con- ditions the proposed issue of bonds would carry easily.
 There must be some strong and cogent cause for the open opposi- tion and hostility expressed upon all sides. To THE OASIS it seems that it is not necessary to go far to seek such cause or causes. The main difficulty seems to this paper to be that the proposition has been sprung upon notice too short to permit a thorough understand ing in the public mind of all the points involved. The advocates of the present proposition aver, with some show of reason, that the ob- l jections advanced will not bear scrutiny, and that the proposition now under consideration is the best, cheapest and most economical l that can be devised. Their position may be eminently correct; but they will have to demonstrate that fact to good many minds.
 At this writing there are 107 registrations of qualified elecLoi 5 The total registration that will be is estimated at about one hundred and twenty. To carry the bonds if the vote is no greater than tn, present registration - 107 - there will have to be cast in favor O the bond issue no less than seventy two votes. Thirty-six votes cas- against the issue would defeat it THE OASIS can count among iti acquaintances more than forty wh' will vote against the bonds.

Truth Of Late Ex-Prssident's Predie-
ton Has Come to Pass.
The general discussion which Is now
going the rounds among Afro-Ameri-
cans In most all sections of the coun-
try as to the wisdom Of members Of
the race affillating In any way with
the Democratic party recalls an Incl
dent which occurred between Grover
Cleveland during his first term as
president and B. X. Bruce. who was
then register of the treasury.
As Mr.. Bruce was q Republican,
there was much speculation on the
part of politicians as to whether he
would be reappointed by Mr.. Cleve-
land and again as to the propriety OF
his accepting to serve under Demo
cratic administration should the presi-
dent see fit to make the appointment.
Early in his administration President
Cleveland sent for Mr.. Bruce and Of
fered to reappoint him. but the regis
ter pointed out to the president that
the colored people would never have
any more confidence In him II he con-
sented to hold federal Office under q
Democratic administration.
Mr.. Bruce's frankness astonished the
president. who. as the story runs. told
him that the time would certainly
come In the future when members Of
the Negro race would not consider Il
unmanly or Unwise to affiliate with
the Democratic party in an official
capacity. One need only to look at
conditions as they exist today to ses
the truth Of Mr.. Cleveland's prophecy.

Frank NJ. Nye, our present congress

Republican party and Candidate for

He Is opposed by Thos. Dwyer, a

that MIR. Nye has done much for the
Negroes of this country, and for that
reason we wish for his reelection.
We know that the Negroes Of this

We realize Mr.. Nye's fitness for the
position and recognize his superiority
over his opponent. The Nation needs
its most able men in the next Con-

and Mr.. Nye is equal to the task. We
