Trill "N" r tives for the consiuerauuu ui j-" 14671, introduced by" Mr. Michigan. It is the bill Hamilton of To enable the people of Oklahoma and of the Indian Territory to form a constitution and state government and be admitted into the union on an equal footing with the original states; and to enable the peo ple of New Mexico and of Arizona to form a constitution and state govern ment and be admitted to the union on an equal footing with the original states-' otherwise, the bill which pro poses to join the territories of Arizona and New Mexico in one state. Four hours will be devoted to debate, under the special rule brought in yes terday, and then under closure the measure will be put upon its final pas sage. Strong speeches will be made for and against the bill, and Delegate Wilson is expected to make the ef fort of his life in a speech of opposi tion. Our delegate cannot vote, but he tan address the house, and as the time will be equally divided between the friends and opponents of the bill it is certain that leader Williams of the democratic side will give Col. Wil son all the time he desires in order to show up the iniquity of the bill. Dele gate Rodey of New Mexico will make a fiery speech for the bill, and some sharp pase&ges between him and Dele gate Wilson may be expected. The bill to be considered is unchang ed from the form adopted by the com mittee and published in The Republi can, with the exception that the repub lican caucus decided upon an amend ment requiring the constitutions cf the states of Arizona and Oklahoma to contain a clause forbidding the sale of Intoxicants to Indians. That the bill will pass is a practical certainty. If the action cf the republi can caucus, held last Friday night. Is to govern. There is a ray of hope, however, that republican insurgents will stand out in sufficient number to defeat the measure; it is assumed that the democratic membership will solid ly oppose it, as the democratic caucus decided to make it a party Issue. Some of the California congressmen are very much opposed, personally, to the in justice which the committee on terri tories has decided to perpetrate upon the people of Arizona, and the Hon. James Carson Needham, of the Sixth California district, has been emphatic ally outspoken in his opposition, since learning from Mr. Fowler and the newspapers the sentiments of this ter ritory. In fact there is a spirit of re volt among the Pacific coast members generally, all of whom feel friendly to Arizona, and should some republican member be bold enough to take the lead It is possible that he would have a sufficient following to defeat the merger scheme In the house. In any event, however, as we have stated before, there Is no occasion for the people of Arizona to become ex cited. The programme Is to pass the bill In the house and leave It asleep in the senate until next winter's ses sion. It Is by no means certain that a majority of the senate can be com manded then or at any time for the Joint-state plan. Two elements In the senate, heretofore bitterly opposed, will combine in opposition to this bill sen ators who are hostile to statehood legislation of any kind, and the sen ators who believe that statehood should be granted to the territories la accordance with the omnibus bill of the la-t congress. Senator Bard of California, It is said will prove him self a frlfiid of Arizona in this regard. Mr. Hard drew upon himself an ava lanche of bitter criticism from the citizens of this territory when he stood stubbornly against the omnibus bill, and he will redeem himself somewhat if he nhall oppose as steadfastly the bill now before congress. Arixorui has learned that it will not do to attach a great deal of import une to the action cf the house of rep resentatives on statehood measures. Hills for the admission of Arizona have been )aeK.I by the house several times in the last dozen years, and the action new contemplated Is a mere rep etition In a different form of what has been done before. And in any event, were a majority of the senate to favor the Hamilton bill it would bo in the power of the minority to talk the measure to death, just as was done by the minority in the case of the omni bus bill. This is made possible by the fact that the second session of each congrecs ii a ehort gesgipn, lasting but three months, all told, out of which comes a holiday recess of two weeks. It is altogether probable that state hood for Arizona and New Mexico will be passed- up to the Fifty-ninth congress. VasllI Verestchagin. The last battle scene placed on can vas bv Yasili Verestchagin, the famous Russian painter, was the "Battle of ; San Juan Hill," in which Col. Theo-, dore Roosevelt and his Rought Riders have a prominent place. Indeed, the portrait cf Mr. Roosevelt is one of the chief features of the painting, and is reported to be exceptionally fine. The work as a whole is said to rank with the best pictures by the great Russian, and it takes on an added value and interest now that its creator has met a tragic death in war. Verestchagin was on beard the ill fated Petropav lovsk when It blew up, and the pre sumption is that he was killed in-s-tanlly. All that is known is that he perished, with the gallant officers and men of the battleship. The "Battle of San Juan" was paint ed at Washington for Mr. Roosevelt, who pesed frequently for the painter, and the various features of the paint ing had the benefit of Mr. Roosevelt's artistic criticism and suggestion. Former Rough Riders posed for some cf the figures, and as photographs were utilized. It Is just possible that the face of one or more Arizonians can be recognized in the picture. The world of art has lost its master painter of battle scenes. No other painter of any age possessed such a magic touch in bringing out the hor rible, gruesome side of war the real side and depicting it on canvas. Vasill Verestchagin was bcrn Octo ber 26, 1842, in the district of Novgo rod., Russia, and until he arrived at. the age of 17 attended the Marine school, at St. Petersburg. Leaving the Marine school he took up the study of art. He went to Paris In 1SG4, and there attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts, studying under Gerome. In 1S71 he entered the studio of Hor schaldt, in Munich, to finish his sketches made during Kaufman's ex pedition to Central Asia. In 1874 he visited India, and his paintings made after the journey show the wonder ful filiexee work with which the buildings of that land are bedecked. Verestchagin was a realist. He paint ed things as he saw them, and noth ing could induce him to change his views. He has shown us all the hor rors of war, and in doing so has sought to teach the world a lesson In peace. In his "Apotheosis of War," dedicated to "all conquerors, past. present and to come," he shows the cost of strife; the field is covered with frozen corpses which the ravens are picking; the brutal, bloodthirsty Turks are mutilating the dead and torturing the wounded the whel making a picture and teaching a les son never to be forgotten. He served in the Causasus and in the Russo-Turk ish war; was present at the storming of Plevna; acted as secretary in the nego tiations for peace; and went to India again in 13S2 and 1SS4. Many of his painting3 are at Moscow, in the Tret- jakoff collection. Among his other pictures is a cycle of 20 from the his tcry of India, a cycle of 20 from the campaign in Turkestan, 20 from the Russo-Turkish war, and a number of sacred subjects. In 1S97 he was given the great prize of $60,000, awarded on the Nobel foundation by the Nor wegian parliament. Although erestcnagm painted war with a view to making war a terrible object lesson to humanity, the carn age and the horrors of battle had a peculiar fascination for him, and - he doubtless knew full well the risk3 he took when he insisted upon seeing from the deck of a Russian battleship the details cf an engagement between his countrymen and their enemy. Mr. Hayden For Congress? By way of Tucson comes the news that Mr. Carl Hayden of Tempe is an aspirant for the democratic nomination for delegate to congress, and that he expects to have the Maricopa county delegation with him in the territorial convention. If the young man does succeed in carrying this county in the primaries he will stand an excellent chance to get the nomination. Already the ancient antagonism between the supporters of Mark Smith and J. F. Wilson Is getting fanned into an un comfortable heat, although there has been a considerable shifting back and forth of Smith and Wilson's partisans. The opportunity for a dark horse can be seen by everybody, and numerous Inquiries are heard why some other democrat, a resident of Maricopa county, does not go after the nomina tion. It is conceded that Frank Cox could get the support of the Maricopa delegation if he desired the nomina tion, but it is understood that Mr. Cox values his Southern Pacific con nections more than he does a possible seat in congress. Judge A. C. Baker, Eugene Brady O'Neill and William B. CJeary each have friends who think they would adorn a eat in congress, and other democrats are "mentioned" occasionally. Somehow, though, the democrats of Maricopa county as a rule seem to entertain no ambition for congressional honors, with the attend- ant expense and' the uncertainly of beating the republican candidate an uncertainty which increases yearly. Mr. Hayden is the first man in whose behalf it has been assumed that he would be willing to seek th? nomina tion, and if he dees not contradict the announcement of his candidacy there will be a general desire to know more about him. At present, we believe, he is chair- man or the county democratic central committee, ar.d it is said that he has 1 a practical knowledge cf politics. tin : ; is a young mar. of considerable means I and is one of the leading citizens cf Tempe. As a candidate he would be able to carry into the campaign a war bag well stuffed with financial sinews, and this feature of his candidacy will not lack in attractions for the gentle men whose business it Is to save the democratic party. Escpus, the home of Judge Parker, when spelled backward seems to define the platform on which the judge stands. Kentucky has deserted Hearst for Parker; Indiana has deserted Hearst for Parker: Illinois has deserted Hearst for Parker, and most of the southern states are solid for the New Yorker, who will also have the entire delegation from his own state. It ap pears to be a wild scramble now, to get Into the Parker band wagon. The Hearst democrats in Arizona are standing firm, however, and they will doubtless keep their flag flying until the last. But we expect that the Ari zona delegates to the democratic con vention will, in the Interest of good feeling, consent that the nomination of Judge Parker shall be unanimous. Aiming to stamp out tuberculosis in the United States by striking at the source of the disease, the National Anti-Tuberculosis association, the nu cleus cf which was recently organized in Chicago, is about to- enter upon a unique campaign of education. Through the medium of personal col umns of newspapers throughout the land the association hopes to instruct the human family in the best methods of warding off the disease. Dr. Walter B. Metcalf, president cf the associa tion, said: "The public will first be aroused to a full realization of the seriousness of the diseas?. Tersely written 'personal advertisements' will be published setting , forth the many ways in" which the disease i3 easily and unconsciously contracted by perse ns ignorant of its extent." .,........ ..... ...... .... CURRENT COMMENT t DEMOCRATS HAVE NO ISSUE. The party that Is out cannot com mend itself to the country by a mere i desire to "get in." It has not in the ! last eight years been winning con- ' fidence sufficient for that. It has the ' confidence of the country yet to win, if it wou!d have any hope of success, and it is not to be had by mere attack upon what has been done. There must be some affirmative policy that will commend itself to the people and a 1 premise of doing something rather , than a possible undoing with doubtful consequences. Nothing has been gain ed by assaults upon the administration for accepting the responsibilities of an I irresistible national expansion, and it is certain that nothing can be gained i by promising to abandon such he- j spnnsibilities. It is hardly conceivable that there should be any such folly as turning back from the progress that has been made In financial policy. Mere indiscriminate attacks upon combina tions of capital and threats of destroy ing them root and branch would only play into the hands of the party in power. N. Y. Journal tf Commerce. THE TELEPHONE IN POLITICS. The telephone costs the farmer In the back country a dollar a month some times less. A postmaster or country merchant is not 'or busy but he can run the exchange, dividing' the emerpriae with a partner who looks after the poles and wire?.

Perhaps the, far mer, in making a trade over the 'wir.?, suffers because he cannot ece the face of. the other fellow. Out in Missouri, where the telephone has come to be an institution, the IjchI bosses complain that it spoils the game of politics. It is no longer prs-.-ible to call pnap prhoaries or steel a march on the simple voter. Only a few years asfo the farmers were completely out of. the world in primary time. They did not have the benefit of a daily pa per and had to wait until the chore? were done or the hay was in the ba.tn before they could hitch tip and drive over roads, mirv or rough, t tli nearest postofflce to ler.rn the re-u't of a caucus. lrural d(,iivry brought mem tm newspaper lut the telephone gives them the news before it is print- ed.

The two battleships ordered for Ja pan in England will be larger tli'in the latest representatives cf American- na val architecture. The Virginia or II hod e Island class will, in theory at least, be infeiior in destructive power and probably in other respects. Tiie diffeter.ee will be slight, but it will, nevertheless, be real, and our navy de-' partment will take note of the Japanese ccntiact. Should Jjpan secure a hall dozen such vessels and preserve its present tleet until the clo-:e of the war the control cf the Pacific would lie with her. This, is not a prospect that wor ries us at the present time, but it of fers plenty of food for cons:dcr.iti:n ut Washington, no matter how frier.d y America now feels toward Japan. Pro vidence Journal. THE HUSBAND GOES MARKETING, i A well known officer has an idea that he can manage the affairs of the pantry better than his wife. "My dear,' 'said he one dry, "that baker of yours i.s cheating you. He ought to give ycu seven of these bu:i. fcr sixpence. 1 can jet seven for that price. " Fo the major set off for the baker's shop. On arriving he pointed to r. pil; of burs on the counter and said in his reverest way: "I want seven cf those bunn for six pence." "But " said the girl in attendance "No 'buts' In the matter," roared the major. "If you don't give tne seven I'll go elsewhere and get them." "Well, sir, if you Insist," said the girl. "I'll " "I do insist," said th rpjor. So the girl counted sven buns into c. paper bag and gave them to the ma jor who went home giea'ly elated with his success. "Look what firmness ran do." he said to his wife. "L got seven for six pence." "Yes," suld his wifr "but you have been cheated. The?? are ha'penny buns!" Spare Moments. How often you hear it remarked: " It's only a cold," and a few days later learn that the ' man is on his back with pneumonia. This is of such common occurrence that a cold, however slight, should not be disregarded. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has gained its rreat popularity and extensive sale by its prompt cures of this most common ailment. It always cures and is pleasant to take. It counteracts any tendency or a cola to result in pneumonia. (I . i ?' ' a rru.c isBrse aize 50c.
