AN EMPIRE WITHIN ITSELF.
If joint statehood with Arizona
should come to 1 as-, it is well to
know before hand a few of the things
it would bring us. It is a magnificent
showing. The two territories joined
would stand as followa:
Population, includiug transients
aud Indians, 000,000.
Postotfices of the two territories,
,
Gross area of the two territories,
square miles, 'oo,000.
Lauds that would be given the new
state, exclusive of salines, for the use
of its common schools and institu-
tious. acres, i, 1-4, 'iSO. '
In area the new state would be sec-
oud only to Texas, aud it would be
about 77,000 square miles bigger than
California, Texas would be still 30. -

be necessary tu sustain th .-tale gov-
ernment.
The legislature would probably
consist of about :&i state seuatois aud
72 members of the house of represen
tatives. Most of the United States officers

senators aud three representatives to
see that they were. The new -late

least four large public build up

probably get several large irrigation
projects started within its border.- : it
would prmtd? fi every India:, lep
redatiou claim ever committed within
the bounds of the new state paid, and
would get $1,400,000 to jiay the old
outstanding militia warrants, or
whatever sum might lie found to le
justly due. It would get about -000
er annum from the government to
support its agricultural colleges, and
it would protmbly get an immediate
appropriation of $100,000 to pay the
e. 1 of holding the constitutional
aflllll 1 and electing the first state
ticket.
That showing would lie worth more
to the people of the new state than all
the ambitions and bickerings 01 the
politicians ot the two territories ever
can be. The creation of the new state
would throw together new elements
politically, and would break up all
present existing political rings, and
force political parties to nominate
their best men for office: it would
brimr home rule iu everv deimrtment
of the government, and with our cou
gressional influence would force the
nomination ef home men for all na
tional offices. The people of the two
territories ought to prepare themselves
for this. They will soon have a
chan.-.e. in all probability, to say
whether they will accept it or not.
The immigration to the new state, and
the rush forward of all business enter-
prises would at once excel anything
in recent history. Albuuueruue

two of the most active ingredients of
powder were brought together and it
is very natural that when auother tire
was kindled ou the same spot a flash
might follow. This would lead to iu-
ve-iigation, and then the manufacture
of gunpowder was conceived. Whether ,
this le true or not there is abundant
evidence that the origin of gun
powder and artillery goes f:u back in
the dim ages of the past.
A New York judge has established a
new and correct precedent in reject
ng applications for citizenship in the
following declaration: "1 will not
naturalize any one who comes before
' me and is unable to speak the English
language sufficiently to make himself
' understood. 1 will compel applicants
, to answer questions regarding their
age. place of nativity, when they ar
rived in the United States, and any
other question which I deem essential
to good citizenship and if they fail to
make satisfactorv answers 1 will refuse
to grant them the necessary papers,

lhat there is a right aud a wrong way
fr unions to conduct themselves is
s truly evident. When labor unions
adopt the plan of improving the pial-
of the product they have for sale
labor instead of giving so much at
tention to tryiug to rule everybody

tbe:following dispatch from Chicago,
which recites an instance of the meth

would indicate that instead of at

finally the mob cut the Harness of
his horses into -mall pieces, beat the
animals with canes, compelling them
to run away, and then beat Thornton
badly. Thornton employs a large
number of teamsters, all of whom are
members of the union, and he never

PRICE REMOVED
FROM OFFICE
Surveyor General's Of
fice Cleaned Out.
Chief Clerk Murphy Has Been Sus
pended Pending Further
Investigation.
A telegram was received iu Phenix
yesterday to UM effect that Hugh H.
Price, surveyor geueral for Arizoua,
with headquarters at Phenix, had
been removed from office by Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock, while the
ease of Chief Clerk W. K. Murphy is
beiug investigated by the civil service
commission. Murphy seut iu his res
ignation but the secretary refused to
accept it suspending him pendiug the
investigation.
Hon. Krauk S. Ingalls, of Yuma,
Ariz., has lieen appointed surveyor
general to succeed Price, lugalls will
take charge of the office at once, and
the investigation of the office will be
continued.
Surveyor Oeneral Price's removal
was the result of au investigation
wariest was maile puhlic today, charges
having been tiled against both Price
and Murphy, who are accused of re
ceiving illegal fees for rushing work
in the office. As to what the result
of the iuvestigatiou iu the case of
Murnby will lie is uot known, but it
is believed that a prosecutiou will fol
low. Speaking of this well known case
the Phenix (iazette says:
"It is uuderstood that charges were
tiled against Price aud Murphy by
Senator Pettigrew aud Harry Carpen
ter, who represented Senator Petti
grew's interests here. The charges
tiled were the result of exorbitant
fees beiug charged mining men who
wished to secure patents on mining
claims, ana did not care to await the
routine of the office. Inspector Axliue
found that wheu applications were
made for patents and the owner of the
mine was in a hurry, be would lie told
that it would lie two, three or perhaps
six mouths liefore tie could be accom
modated unless he wished to pay ex
tra for the work to be done over time
by the office force. The price fixed
is said to have lieeu $.'10 a claim, and
iu some instances it would cost one
man from $400 to $000 to secure his
patents within a (reasonable lengtb
of time. Objections were made by a
number of mining men, but they
could do nothing but pay aud be glad
to get their mines secure on account
of prospective sales. A unmlier of
cases were found iu Yavaai couuty.as
well as iu Cochise. Pima, Crabam,
Yuma aud other places, aud in each
instance it was discovered that exor
bitant fees bad been charged, which
the department at Washington desig
nates as illegal.
"About two mouths ago the investi
gation was set on foot and Insjiector
Axline and several others were sent to
Phenix for the purpose of making a
report w hich reached Washington sev
eral w eeks ago and the chief clerk was
mmediately suspended. At that time
:
it was believed that the surveyor gen
eral bad sent iu bis resignation, but
this was later denied.
"The appointment of Frank J. In
galls. was not a surprise, although it
was believed that another gentlemau
stood jus Hs good a show as the
former representative from Yuma
county. Mr. lugalls was a member
of the last legislature, and as such
spent considerable time here. He was
also a deputy under Surveyor Oeueral
I'rice, aud is well acquainted with
the work in the office.
Condition of Crops.
The following is taken from the
bulletin issued by the department of
agriculture for Yavapai county, Ari-

Ily manufacturing and selling a

lumbia Pbouograph compauy bas ac
hieved the and for which it has beeu
striving tbe reduction iu tbe price
of its high speed moulded cyliudri
cal wax records from fifty ceuts
each, to tweuty five ceuts. Simultau-
i.-ly with this reduction iu price a
new record, greatly siiierior to any
that has ever lieeu offered for sale is
babag furnished -a black, sujier hard
ened record, both durable and brill
iant and comhiuiiii! sweetuers aud
smoothness with remarkable volume.
These records will fit all talkiug ma
chines using cylindrical records aud
the facilities for manufacturing them
have been increased to au extent that
will enable the Columbia Phonograph
company to produce a praBtinally lim
it b supply.
While improved pfoeaaaM of inanu
fiicture ami tbe simplifying of talking
a leMtM eoii-i net ion have resulted in
i he :. jceof jiraphophones U-ing re-
bsced. from time to tune, until they
are now sold at figures that biiug
tin mi arUain lb ' reach of all. tka prist
of cvlinder rec mis bas. iu tbe mean
time, remained at fifty cents each.
For many insuperable reasons it has
never been possible until now to sell
records at the popular price that has
finally been fixed for them. But con
tinued and unceasing improvement in
Columbia facilities bas, at last,
brought the output to a point where
it is possible to cut the price iu half
while, iustead of impairing the qual
ity of the product to secure this end,
a better article is to be furnished
than ever before. This could only be
done by increasing the sales t-ithe en
ormous figures they have now reached
aud which are certain to assume be
wildering proportions, with the reduc
tiou iu the price.
The Columbia Phonograph com
pany, the pioneer and leader iu the
talking machine art, was the first to
furnish a really meritorious record for
fifty cents and while its records are
far superior to those of previous
years, the tact is adiniueu, on an
sides, that Columbia records, iu all
stages of their development, have al
ways lieeu the best that were made.
Aud (his is truer now than ever be
fore. While the superiority of Co
lumbia records would justify their
sale at a higher price than that of any
competing record, their reduced price
means that the purchaser is to have
the very best records ever manufac
tured aud to have two of (hem at the
price be formerly paid for one.
Preparations have been made with
the utmost thoroughness to meet the
emergency which a reduction iu the
price of cylindrical records to twenty
five cents each, was certain to pre
cipitate. Iu auticipatiou of au unpre
cedented demand for the new and
vastly improved records, the factory
of the Columbia Phonograph couqiany
is runuiug day and uight and every
possible arraugemeut has been made
to till all orders with reasouable
promptness, however heavy those or
ders may become.
To make better goods than its com
petitors and sell them at popular
prices has always beeu the aim of the
Columbia Phonograph compauy. De
sirous that the public should test its
claims as to the superior quality of
this new product it offers, for a limit
ed pel iod, to give a record, free, to
any user of a talking machine who
will call at any of its stores aud men
tion the type of the machine he is us
ing. If uot convenient to call, a rec
ord will be mailed, on receipt of teu
ceuts, to cover postage, aud the infor
mation as to the type of the machine

An Unholy Comparison.
The sjieech of t In- li t:. Heurv Ash
urst, the moruiug an . iar
of democracy iu Cooouim . uuty,
delivered at McCabe on the occasion
of the celebration of Labor Day, was
for the most part a very beautiful
one. and sparklet) with many gems of
pure ami noble thought, but the
whole thing was made ridiculous by
the following gust of very decidedly
hot atmosphere thrown at that arch
demagogue aud chief of yellow journ
alism. Little Billy Hearst:
"Let uot his bitterest enemy deny
to bim the name aud fame of the
greatest friend of the laboring people
since Jesus walked the waves of Gali
lee and suffered iu the garden of
Gethsemaue. "
O, ye gods! Has it come to this?
That the meek and lowly Jesus, who
weut aliotlt doing good and teaching
all maukind to love one auother and
to live in peace, should be compared
to a man like Hearst, whose greatest
ambitatiou on earth seems to be to set
himself up as a great dictator and to
constantly stir up strife and turmoil
between the classes of the country
that HE might profit thereby.
It Didn't Work.
A few nights ago while inspecting
some men at the Santa Fe depot that
were to lie seut up the line to work,
Antonio Sierra, the popular inspector
for tbe local immigration department,
created quite a little amusement in
inspecting one man. The coutract
called for the shipment of married
men as the -mule men would not stay
with a job as long as the married men.
One Mexican made application aud
was turned down, as it appeared that
be was not a married man. He agreed
to prove that he was married aud pro
duced a woman who he claimed to be
his wife. Mr. Sierra had learned,
however, that the mau bad borrowed
the womau from another Mexican aud
to ciuch him told him that if the
womau was bis wife he should bug
aud kiss her, to which the applicant
for the job was willing, but the right
till husband of the woman appeared
ou the scene and called a halt. Al

Valencia Bound Over.
Juan Valencia, who had bis prelim
inary examination before United
States Commissioner J. C. Forest yes
terday ami today, was this moruiug
bound over to appear before th KJ. S.
grand jury iu the sum of H800, iu de
fault of which he weut to jail. The
crime for which he was arrested was
that of attemptingg to stop the stage
which carries the LT. S. mail lietweeu
Martinez and Congress and when the
stage driver would uot oliey his com
mand to halt, he Hred his pistol at
him the bullet bitting the wagon bow
just above the driver's head, and
would probably have killed him had
he not dodged down just liefore the
shot was fired. The witnesses for the
defense, who were all Mexicans, at
tempted to prove au alibi, but they
did not have their stories very well

likely go pretty hard with him.

Must Speak Spanish.
The Mexican government has issued j
a decree which requires all conduct- I
ors, ticket agents aud other employes
of railroads in the republic, includ
ing electric aud other street car lines,
to lie able to answer ordinary quer-;
ies of passengers and travelers in the
Spanish language. The decree pro- ;
vides that proficiency shall tie estab j
lisbed by a regular examination.
Some think that the problem of get- I
ting sufficient help uuder this order
for the border railroads w ill lie a ditfi
cult or, It seems that the class of
Mexicans capable of becoming good
agents and conductors do uot as a rule
care to enter the service and work up,
while the class of Americans who
drift in and bunt job.- are not as a
rule acquainted with the Spanish
language.
However, it is said that with little
tudy and constant practice gained in
the daily routine, almost anybody
can pick up iu a few months enough
of the language to enable tbem to un
derstand aul answer the ordinary
ipieries of the traveling public. Can

THE GEXUIXE VS.
COUNTERFEITS.
The genuine is always better than
a counterfeit, but the truth of this
statement is never more forcibly real
ized or more thoroughly appreciated
than when you compare the geuuiue
DeWitt's Hazel Salve with the many
counterfeits and worthless substitutes
that are ou the market. W. S. Led
hetter, of Shreveport, La., says:
"After using uumerous ot her remedies
without benefit, one box of DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve cured me." For
bliud, bleeding, itching and protrud
ing piles no remedy is equal to De
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. Sold by
