PIMA'S VALUATION.
Assessor Buehman Says It is Gem
orally Higher than Previously.

The assessment taken in the county
between the first Monday in March and
the first Monday in June, by Assessor
Buehmap, has been completed and is in
readiness for the board of equalization,
to meet early in July.
Questioned as to the comparison be-
tween the assessment of 1891 and that
OF previous years Mr.. Buehman saws
that property values throughout the
count y, but particularly in Tucson, are
higher that heretofore. This statement,
however, must be somewhat qualified.
Owing to immense shipments of stock
during the past winter and spring con-
siderable portion of the increase OF
the country has been withdrawn, ac-
eelerated by provisions made by the
board of supervisors, that the tax valua-
ton of cattle should by 81, whereas 1T
vas $50 previously. However, the loss
on the stock assessment is more than
compensated in the general increase.
Regarding the city values, Mr.. Bueh-
man says that in some parts of the city
their growth Is almost phenOmenals
This is particularly true IN the yic.nitles
of Military plaza and the old cemetery
ground IN the vicinity of M.S.Suyder and
B ID. Fairbanks residences, IN the north
end Of town. The rising tendency IL the
plaza vicinity is doubtless largely due to
The hotel project, and the cemetery lots
to the bGildiHg Of several good residences
which had the effect of making all
nelghboring property more desirable.
Lots in this neighborhOod that four
years ago were valued at $50, today will
as easily bring $500.

The members of the constitutional
convention are or should be, sedulously
studing the constitutions CT the west
ern states 10 squeeze out of them what
OF good there is in them, and what will
apply TO the conditions that prevail ir
Arizona. Among all that will be found
10 contain the most practical hints, is
the constitution of CalIfornia.-Herald
OF the constitution makers tive
things will be required that even the
constitution OF California does not con-
tain, the first because there is no oc
-casion Of it and the second for the
Ieaeon that tie Inevitable has not
yet reached her golden shores. We re
fer to the Test Oath and Universal Suf
ferage bills. To the first the republican
members OF the constitution are pledged
10 man, but as they are in a hopeless
minority there will be no test oath and
in the end no state. AS territory the
Norman church may dominate the dem
ocrscy and send Mark Smith to congress
with the only majority it is possible For
him to receive, but the church will
never be allowed to dominate the state
The democrats know this and the sooner
they commit political hari kari by
standing in with the republicans on the
test oath, the sooner they will enjoy the
blessed privilege Of living under the gov
ernment OF q sovereign state. On the
subject OF universal suffrage no two men
agree, but for one we are religiously in
favor OF bill thst will give every Law
abiding American citizen orer the age
of q years, the right to be represented
by ballot in the government of the
country. The majority OF the men who
oppose this measure do SO from concien
tious motives. They say that woman's
pace is her home, and that the womRnly
and wifsly charms are lost in proportion
ate ratio to the steps taken without the
charmed circle, others again are jealous
OF woman's supremacy. They fondly
hug the foolish Ge.usIon that they the
lords OF creation, are much smarter than
women and that they alone should
make the laws and woman obey them

TuK INDEPENDENT W OMEN vO-

Among the political factors, says the
Boston Daily Traveller, in the nation to-
day, none bid fair to be more powerful
than the women's organizations. The
fact that in several OF the states women
are allowed voice in government ahairs'
and in many other school suffrage, Is
swak ening women throughout the
country to a sense Of their need or the
ba Hot for self protection. Among the
first to receive political recognition were
the women OF Massachusetts,, the right
of school suffrage being granted them in
1879. At fret only about 1000 women
used the privilege. The year 1882 found
5000 women in line for service, an issue
having arisen, in the fact that school
houses were being vacated, that liquor
dealers might obtain licenses. This oc-
CURED in Boston, and greatly aroused
the women. Up TO 1888, although some
active women kept Whist forces they
could in line, by the aid OF the Massa
chusetts School Suffrage Association
and ward and city committee, yet there
was not a very effective organization
At that time the Loyal Women OF Amer
lean Liberty and the Bunker Hill Wo
mems Educational League were formed,
the latter e The Charlestown district.
Owing to the SwInton's history controv-
ers, 10000 women assessed in 1888, 3d.
600 registered, and IL 600 voted, although
the day was very inclement.

1t may be asked by those not conver
SAINT with the work in Boston what class
OF women become voters. Scarcely with
out exception they IRE women OF intelli
gence, and some of them OF influential
and wealthy classes. The women il
the medium ranks of society show deep
interest in the advancement of their sex
Very few can be found outside OF Prot
estant ranks although in 1883 over 5000
Romanist women voted. The women as
rule take very firm stand for the
right and prove troublesome element,
il politicians desire TO use them TO gain
unworthy political advantage.
They are prompt and faithful in ser
vice, and know their duties so well, that
were it found necessary, the 105 mem
bers Of the ward and city committee anc
2O5 precinct officers could be called to-
gether at very short notice. They are ex
tremely tenacious OF their rights, ano
once having gained ground determinedly
hold it in spite of all opposition. They
are fearless and persistent, and require
OF their candidates perfect loyalty anc
morality. They are unwilling to com
promise, and by intuition ofttimes dis
cover movements set on foot that would
work to their disadvantage, and thwari
them, 80 nobly have they done
their work. that politicians fear to give
them full suffrage, and are aiming even
now to deprive them of school suffrage.
A factor in politics that has proved thus
helpful, should command the respect
and secure the confidence of all men
who believe in justice and right doing.
