Everything pertaining to school affairs in Arizona appears to be in a muddle at present. It seems that there is no money for the payment of the bills against the Normal school property. The territorial auditor failed to give notice to the vari- ous county supervisors in the territory to levy the Normal School tax, but two counties made provisions for that fund, Maricopa, and Apache. The result is that the contractors are compelled to get along with but part of the money they have earned and there is a consider able number of other unpaid bills.

There is no denying the fact that our city is very quiet at present, There are many causes for the business depression. The Indian troubles is one of the mos. conspicuous. The closing down of the great pumps on the hill is another. The many mining suits which have been in progress in our courts for the past four years have occasioned the closing down of some of the best mining properties in the district. Some of these cases have been amicably arranged, and will soon commence operations again, while others still remain in the tolls of the law, slowly awaiting its uncertain results. That a better and fairer day will soon dawn for our city, no one for moment questions, and we trust the people who have so long and patiently waited for better days to come will still keep up their courage sad await its coming.

Townshend, of Illinois, has introduced resolution in congress, pro- posing constitutional amendment, pro- viding that the president and vice-presi- dent be elected by a majority of the people. There is no doubt that this change will eventually be made, as there is very strong and growing feeling in favor of abolishing the present clumsy system, which has frequently defeated the expressed wishes of majority of the voters of this country in thelr choice of a Dvac;dant

If our law makers, at the coming
legislative session will devote a little
sensible attention to the interest law Of
Dakota they will merit the commenda-
ton Of those whom they serve. Dakota
has outgrown the day oftwelve per cent
and the maximum rate Of interest
should be reduced. Money would come
to us more plentifully under a reason
able reduction than it does under an
unreasonable high rate. Capitalists in
the east know we cannot afford to pay
twelve per cent, when money goes beg
ging at half that rate in the states, and
are therefore cautious about investing
their surplus where destructive extrav-
agance is apparent on the face of the
contract. The law as it now stands
makes the legal interest maximum
twelve per centand the minimum seven
per cent. The maximum is the prevail
ing rate in private transactions, though
public Indebtedness cannot command
more than seven per cent. The private
borrower should be placed more nearly
on an equality with the public borrower.
This is IA fit subject for the considera-
ton of the legislator e.-Press & Dako-
taian.

Prof. Foster, the Burlinton Hawkeye
weather prophet, has figured out the
weather for December. and reports as
follows: From December 4 to II will
occur some of the most destructive
winter storms Of recent years. TIE
storm force will be greater than that
which caused the great storms Of october
8 and Is, and many lives and much
property car be saved from loss by
making preparations for this uncom.
monty great storm period. These storms
will be of much the same nature as
were the terrible billiards. Of last Jan
uary 3, 7 and 10, which were predicted
by us long before their occurrence, but
the storm influence will be very much
greater during the storm period Of next
December.
During these storms railroad compan.
les will have use for an unusual numbe,
OF their huge snow plows, and snow
shovelers will be greatly in demand
The storms will be general and will
greatly affect Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska.
About December A is likely to com
n a mild, light rain with heavy
fogs, and on the 5th one of the worst
storms of the year will set in, reaching
the N~inety-first meridian near Decem.
Der 9. A great electric ground current
will sweep around the west and south
sides Of the storm on December 5 sim
liar to but greater than that remarkable
current Of January 3, which t~elegraphers
will remember almost totally disabled
the telegraph through Nebraska. Kansas
and Missouri. On December 8 these
storms will have reached the eastern
states, and will there be very heavy.
At the same time a cold wave will
spread ver these western states, while
the high winds will make tie drifting
very troublesome. These storms
will be renewed on this meridian with
less force on December II and Is. We
advise every %precaution against these
great winter storms.
This storm period will entirely break
up the drouth in the southern states.
which is now central in South Carolina,
and the drouth will move into the New
England states, while the snow and
rainfall will greatly increase throughout
the drouth district of last summer.
which was central in Iowa.
The electric, or earthquake, distur-
bance will commence on the 4th or 9Th
and will be very heavy during this
period Of great storms. We will be sur.
prised not to hear Of great electric
storms and earthquakes during this
storm period.
These forecasts are based entirely
upon the influence that the major plan
cts have on each other, through cleo
trical agencies.
