EXEMPTION SAFE GUARDS.

In considering the subject of passinga railroad tax exemption law, as suggested in THE REPUBLICAN yesterday, there are many safe guards necessary before such a measure will be entirely satisfactory to the people. One of the chef incen- tiyes for granting subsidy for a north and south road from Phoenix has been to secure a competing line. There is decided opposition to any movement that will but result in the extension of the Southern Pacific or the building of a branch that will be but feeder to that system. What the people want is com petition in railroads. The north part of the Territory wants 1t as well as the south. There are several propositions under way for north and south roads that would be greatly encouraged by tax ex- emptiOn for twenty years. Not only the line to Prescott by way of Congress, or the other by way of Big Bug, but the Mineral Belt road from Flagstaff, and the Tucson and Calabasas, from Calaba- sas to Phoenix, via Florence, with q branch from Florence to Globe.
 In order to secure these lines let the exemption law provide that no exemp- tion shall be granted to any company or corporation until fifty miles of road shall have been completed and in running order, and that no exemption shall be granted to existing lines where they shall merely change or alter their exist ing roadbed. This would prevent the building of little spurs of fifteen to twenty-five miles for the mere purpose of shutting out other lines, and would in no wise be unfair to the proposed lines mentioned above, as all of them will far exceed the fifty mile limit if built at all As will be seen by an interview pub lished elsewhere, Mir. Reynolds says work on the north line, via Congress, would have been begun ere this had the subsidy bill become a law. Now that this measure seems destined to failure let us take the next best, but throw around it such safe guards that we will not be in the control of any one line or system.

TIE chef stock in trade of those Op- posed to the creation of Miles County seems to be "They are not ready for it" Among the arguments advanced by the opponents of the new county yesterday was that it would contain too limited d population to sustain county. Let us see as to that. The precincts in the proposed county cast at the last election about 425 votes, Yuma County cast al the same election but SIS votes and yet she is prosperous and maintains her county government without any hard ship. Mohave County cast only 4S' votes and Pinal 632. There has never been any complaint from these counties that they wanted to be reannexed tc the old counties or that they were mol able and willing to maintain their county government. In order to equaIizt the indebtedness of Cochise County the bill provides that the new county shaIl pay to COChise part of the indebted ness that shall be in proportion as the taxable property of the new county is to the old. Surely an equable and fair basis of segregation. But they even SC farther than this and offer, if it is so de. sired, to leave the adjustment of the proportion of the old indebtedness that each shall pay to arbitrators, whose de. cision shall be final and binding. The stock argument that the new county will not prosper 30 well is not borne out by the experience of other counties. Ii the population was sufficient to have the counties composed of twenty to thirty townships it would be better for the Territory. The creating of new counties shows advancement and pro- gress, shows that the Territory is pushing towards that goal of statehood for which all are 80 anxious. The people within the borders of the new county almost to a man ask for it's creation, and surely their wishes should be given great weight, from the fact that they are the ones most in terested,

TIE Senate yesterday followed up the action of the House in adopting the Conference report on the Fourth Judge bill for Arizona, and it will now go to the President for his approval. This measure is one of great benefit to Arizona. One especially commendable feature is the fact that il makes the Appellate Court of sufficient number to decide all questions of appeal without the judge before whom the case was first tried again sitting upon the case. It also gives a black eye to the corrupt move to establish Circuit Courts, and will tend to aid and help the present able and efficient Judiciary of the Ter ritOry

HANDSOME HELEN caused ten years Of fercest fighting about Troy. It was not strange, then, when bevy of pretty women took seats in the Assembly chamber, Thursday afternoon, that the members quickly "spruced up," cigars went out and all but one pair of loung- ing legs slipped off the members desks to the cocoa matted floors. ChivaIry still sways the hearts, even of Arizona's Apache-resisting, w-project- ing Hassayampers, their legal success ors, representatives and assigns. Each statesman held himself alert to achieve some spurt of verbal prowess worthy the admiration of Grecian Helen's Nineteenth century prototypes.

"LrrrLE CHAL" flung open his vest. That is a habit of his when heavy work is on hand. Then he tlOated out on the turbid sea of discussion, with speed rivaling our superb new cruiser, the San Francisco, and, with forceful words, rendered more telling by sharp, desk-tapping gestures, the young law yer drew distinction between those matters of municipal legislation which come under the ban of particular, in- dividual enactment, and that broad field of police regulation which every govern ment, State or Territory, must neces- sarily exercise without other restraint than the wisdom and good sense of its own legislators.
 It was a good point to make and doubtless those twenty-three Ot6er Assembymen, to whom legal distinC- tions are in general mystery, will never forget that, in spite of prohibited special legislation, the police power can never be abridged. Tom Parish tried to break the force of his youthful col
 eague's energetic charge, but the twenty years of public, parliamentary tOurna- ments, although they gave cOolness and dIliberation to the older disputant, could not pale the sparkle of his juvenile Op- ponent's onset.

HELLoi CHEAP TELEPHONES.

People who are paying high prices for
telephones here will be interested in the
advertisement of New York corpora
ton, which proposes to sell Bell tele-
phones in South America, Mexico and the
West Indies, setting forth the terms upon
which they will sell the instruments. The
advertisement states that for $50 they will
sell an outfit consisting of ''two Bell tele-
phones, two Blake transmitters, two mag
neto call bells, two back boards and bat
terry boxes, two Lelanche battery cells to
operate transmitters, two flexible cords to
connect telephone and call bells, one
mile of No IL galvanized iron wire, 35
pony glass insulators with wooden
brackets, 100 feet insulated Office wire,
spikes for brackets, staples for Office wire,
screws, etc." By discounts this price may
be reduced so that the complete outfit for
a private telephone line one mile long,
with all the Bell instruments and appli-
ances, may be obtained for SAG %. This
not for rental but sale, so that the fortu-
nate denizens of countries south of us
can own their telephones at cost less
than Pittsburgers pay for yearly lease of
an instrument hedged in with all sorts of
rules and regulations more or less vexa-
tious. Some idea of the profits in the
telephone business can be gathered from
this.

WHAT WILL THE SONG BE?

The writers of songs are not usually con-
scious of the responsibility they incur. If
they were some of them would be silent.
Only the hardened criminals who can muir
der rhyme, reason and rhythm in cold
blood would keep on composing ballads
for theatrical and barreLorgan purposes.
At this moment the country is waiting
with forced calmnesS TO see what ditty will
be the instrument of torture this season.
Last year it was Comrades" the year be-
fore Down Went McGinty," and, if we
remember rightly, "Where Did You Get
That HAITI" robbed life of more than
half its joys in 1888. What does
the future bold in store for us? Is the
triumphant carol to be of the "White
Wings pattern or the "Some Day" stripe;
will it be comic or sentimental, the chan
son of the soubrette with the blonde curls,
or the beloved Of the Irish comedian with
the red nose? This is momentous ques-
ton. No laughing matter, surely. Over
in New York the other day crazy woman
was taken to Bellevue Hospital who per-
sisted that her name was Comrades, Com
rades, Ever Since We Were Boys" and we
are afraid that hers is not the only brain
that has been turned by that terrible tune.
1t is not the theater-going public alone
that is interested in this matter; for the
popular song is soon waited far and wide
by whistling boys, ground out by organs
and pounded in by peripatetic bands. If
there were any chance of touching the
hearts of the song-writers, we would plead
with them to turn their attention to max
ing laws rather than songs for the nation.
