FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
= Recommendation That Cities OF L 900
People be the minimum.

4 Recommendation That Cities OF 10, 600
People be the " inimum.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The Acting
First Assistant Postmaster General in his
annual report says that the number of
new post offices established during the
year was greater than for several years.
OF the free delivery system he says
Long experience has shown this system of
delivery more acceptable to the people than
the old mode of Office delivery, that it is more
accurate and thorough, that it reduces the
number Of dead letters, stimulates mail and
local correspondence, increases postage on
people, and yields larger surplus postage on
local matter alone above its costs, nOtWith-
standing this class of matter for which it gets
credit IS only about % per cent. of The ma ter
handled by the carriers. In view of these
facts do not hesitate to advise that the law
governing the establishment of this system be
SO changed as TO authorize its extension
to places of l0,0)0 inhabitants, provided
that the postal revenue for the preceding
fiscal year at such places amounted to $l0,0O0
and also that IN the case of sew
or place the revenues from all offices may be
aggregated and taken as the standard entit-
ling such places to this system, provided it
mas the required population. | would also
cal attention to the class of towns in more
densely settled portions of the country within
short distances of one another, each with it's
separate post office, which cannot be reached
by law as it now stands, having in the aggre-
gate the required population and revenue, but
none of which singly reaches the requirements
of law, viz: 10000 population and S2O. 600
postal revenue. The law should be extended
This could easily be done by establishing SER
vice at the most important and central places
branches of the central office. The resnif
would be a diminution in the number of
offices. and more intelligent, economical and
satisfactory system.
After renewing the recommendations
contained in last years report Mr.. Mari
concludes as follows:
/ suggest that the attention of Congress be
invited to the subject of erecting buildings for

and upwards where government buildings are

1 suggest that the attention of Congress be
invited to the subject of erecting buildings for
post offices in all cities of 10000 inhabitants
and upwards where government buildings are
not now built. Such policy would greatly
improve the service, especially in the COM
munitles directly benefited, and would be a
measure in the interests of practical economy.

TIRE prospects of the city of PAuenix for a railroad were never brighter than they are 10 day. A substantial and amply able company now have the matter ID hand, and are at work on the proposition of building railroad in the Territory, aid it is already settled that the section between Maricopa and Ph9- nix shall le built at the earliest possible time the company is able 4o accomplish it. Whether the road will extend further south to the Quijotoas and elsewhere in that di- rtction, depends very much upon the development of matt IFS at QuiN jotoa- If that place should become sn important mining camp, the road would undoubtedly be pushed south at once.
 Of cl ching We may feel assured Chat the project IS in good hands, and furthermore that the road Nsill come along in due time There would be no surprise in the matter if we should ship our crops Of thls season out by rail.

 goas. this is ali well enough, but
 possibly Mr Murphy has over-
 looked inc fact that Arizona has other even more impor:aDt indus
 tres than mining. MT. Murphy is mining man, he dea's in

 nothing but ihe inning interests.

 inc fact that in Arizona lies the
 most important agricultm al regions of the eAtrcme southwest, and thAt
 10 day they gre attracting more ats

We know tbat this seems ID be drawing thc matter in strong lines, consider 1 ing the time our mining irdustry has had to grow; but let us look over the field and ask how many { mines il the Territory arc paying [ dividends to-day? The answer will bear Us out in the assertion we have made. Furthermo there is not the least doubt that the next two ears will see the agricultural pro ducts of AIizona qusdru?lcd.

 What large section cf lhe Terri- tory would wish 10 see Mir. Murphy do wou'd be to f. rn his attention to securing capital 10 invest in cer~ .aiLty rather thGu 9 osSibiliiy.

A VICIOUS p~EDAGoHUE.
who Plays the Brute wish N Large
Girl.

The following is a dispatch from Fresno,
California, Dec. l. 1t may not be true.
Very often the first telling Of such a story
goes wide of the mark. 1t is q noteworthy
fact, also, that in such scandal cases the
vindication of the ~pedagogue, il he be the
really innocent party, Is often tardy and
incomplete. If, however, as charged in
THIS dispatch, a schoolmaster does a
dirty trick he should be punished as Sc
yerely as possible. for the ample reason
that his responsibility and trust are so
grave, and because he should be always an
example to his pupils of purity and madli.
ness:
The preliminary examination of Newton
Phillips, a school teacher, charged with
having committed an outrage on one OF
his pupils, Mary Francis Hogan, was COM
menced in Justice Barton's court ON Sat-
urday with closed doors. Owing to the &C.
crecy in which the affair has been kept,
but little information can be obtained.
The girl is about II years old, and is the
daughter of John Hogan, a farmer in the
foothills. In her testimony before the
Court she stated that she was a pupil in
the Hill Valley school, in which the de-
PENDANT was teacher; that on the 10th
OF May last. in the afternoon, the school
was dismissed for recess, and the teacher
sent the children away from the school,
house. She had been detained to work
out an example. He then made an
indecent proposition to her, which she
rejected. He then caught hold Of her,
and placed his hand over her mouth,
threw her on the seat and accomplished
his purpose; and that he then made threats
to kill anyone who might modest him.
She went home, but said nothing about it,
until about a month ago her parents sus-
picions were aroused by the condition she
was in, and after being questioned she in
formed them of what had happened. Her
father then swore out a warrant and had
Phillips arrested. The examination was
then continued until Monday December s.
The defendant, Newton Phillips, is a
young man of family, and a son Of Super
visor Austin Phillips. He has always
borne q good reputation heretofore.
