A CENSUS bulletin prepared by F. H. Newell, of the United States Geological Survey, under direction of Special Agent Hyde, in charge of the division of agri- culture, states that there are l057 irri- gated farms in Arizona having 8 total area of 65,s2l acres, or an average of sixty-one acres each. The average cost of land, including the purchase price, fencing, blowing and water right, is $l6.92 per acre, of which $7.07 repre- sents the cost of the water right, and the average valuation placed upon the land by owners is $4S.6S per acre, including buildings, The average annual cost of water is $1.55 and the average annual value of the farm products is $l3.92 per acre, ranging from $9.26 in Maricopa county to $3l in Yavapai county. The bulletin states that the acreage now under irrigation approaches the maxi mum possible with the present water supply and methods of utilization, but that the conservation of flood waters that now annually run to waste would enormously increase the area susceptible to successful cultivation.

THE REPUBLIcAS takes pleasure in laying before its readers this morning the order of the Supreme Conrt of Arizona apportioning new districts to the several members of the court. By it the Chief Justice is allotted to the district consist ing of Maricopa and Yuma counties, an arrangement that will be eminently sat isfactory to the people of the Capital City, who entertain for Judge Gooding the highest regard. Judge Kibbey, who will leave this district with an enviable record for probity, learning and energy, will take charge of legal matters in the counties of Pinal, Gila and Graham. Judge Sloan will retain his present dis trict of Pima and Cochise counties, and the new appointee, Judge Wells, will preside over the extensive district formed by the counties of Mohave, Yav- apai, Coconino and Apache. The dis tfbution will be eminently satisfactory, and is well calculated to advance the public interests in the prompt and equi- table disposition of legal business.

TIE Democratic majority of both houses of the Legislature held caucus yesterday morning and discussed mat ters in the interest of their party, not in the interest of the Territory they had been elected to serve. The subject of their caucus was the Apportionment bill and the way in which they "fixed" 1t WAS fully in line with the good Demo cratic policy outlined in Ohio and other States. They "fxed'' 1t so that if q Republican hereafter gets into the Legislative Council 1t will be only through the graceof God and apolitical revolution. In word, they have "ger- rymandered" the Territory. By the power of the all-mighty caucus the mem- bers of Democratic persuasion have been forced to sacrifice their constituencies, to take away from the smaller counties their liberties and independence, in order to appease the appetite of the Moioch of partisansiip. The bill went through the Council as quickly as the majority could push it, and slid through the House as neatly at the spe- cial evening session. No excuse was offered for it, save that the Republicans would do as much had they the power. A smile fitted over tho countenances of even the Democratic members when one of their number referred to the bill as "a just measure.n When MT. Doran, know ing the uselessness of opposition.

rose from sense of duty to She people and stigrnatized the bill as unjust and q gerrymanier, there were none to repsy to him. The fact that the biil was a measure designed simply to perpetuase the Democratic party in power was not denied. And it passed by strict party vote. It will be alleged that the bill, unlike Mir. Baldwin's first bill, gives to each county one of its own citizens to represent it in the Council, but let 1t be noted that in each case 1t has been SO arranged that the heavier Democratic counties have been so joined to the smaller Republican counties that the larger counties shall designate who that representative shall be and it will be found that, should the bill become q law, in the next Legislature q number of counties will be represented" by men who have failed of plurality in such counties. And the apportionment for the lower house is about on par with that of the upper body. The rep resentation given is arbitrary, appar- ently cast upon neither population or vote, simply for partisan ends. The Legislature started out in discreet and conservative manner, passing many laws of worth. It would hardly seem possible that at this late date it could so soil it's fair record, cast aside the public good for party spirit and pass an act so revolutionary in it's character that it's very violence is apt to defeat att the polls the party that perpetrates it. .

THAT "the laborer is worthy of his hire' is an an ancient and trite truism If you want to be assured of good laborer, the pay must be in accordance. The House has just passed an act cut ting down the fees and salaries of terri
 torial officials from 50 to 70 per cent, slashing from all, except county treas- urers, in such manner that counter jumping would be preferable, financially speaking, to holding office. Recorders are especially scalped upon fees, to such degree indeed, that is doubtful if at the next election competent man could be found to do the work for the proposed remuneration. It is really foolishness to carry economy" tosuch a point that the administration of county governments will be hampered. g

RETURNS from The Canadian elections are not profoundly interesting to the average American. Still the result is worthy of note, as it shows that the anti Yankee, true-blue English senti- ment is still in the ascendent. It will be long before the old Tory sentiment finally dies out in Ontario. The leayen is too strong that was left by those who emigrated from the American Colonies after the War of Independence.
