THE NATIONAL union of furriers has
lust adopted resolution prohibiting
any of its members, who may want to
rest from their trade for while, from
going on the police force. 1t also pro-
hibits its members from joining volun-
teer military companies. The union
referred to, by its action, has directly
ipsulted its own members, as that action
implies that they are opposed to the
preservation of law and order, and are
therefore anarchists. A plasterer at
Savannah who agreed to work for less
than the wages prescribed by his union
was taken out by his fellow unionists
night or two ago and severely logged
with laths. But men who deliberately
surrender their own personal liberty
deserve no sympathy for the legitimate
results of their folly.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY OF, 1898.

No LESS than seventeen foreign ma
tons, nearly if not all that are repre-
scented at the Chicago fair, have with
drawn their exhibits from competition
Tor award, and their example is being
followed by some of the American ex-
hibitors. The fair managers say the
fair grounds shall be open on Sundays,
but the U. S. Attorney General says the
whole power of the government, in the
premises. will be exerted to keep them
closed. As the act of Congress provid-
ing an appropriation for the fair is
absolutely unconstitutional, it is, OF
course. null and void, and Mr.. olney
has really no more to do with the fair
than any private citizen. But for all
this as the fair was doomed to failure
from the time its site was determined,
the best thing its managers could 90
would be to close the gates, not only on
Sundays. but on all other days.

To Stop MAKING SILVER DOLLARS.
The order suspending the coinage of
silver dollars at the United States mint
at Carson City after the 1st of July has
caused number of inquiries to be
made as to the policy indicated by this
stoppage. The reason given for the
suspension of the minting of the silver
dollars is that they are not needed, as
there is no demand for the redemption
of treasury notes in silver dollars. 1t
is simply useless, therefore, to keep on
piling up coins for which there is Meth
er demand nor use. The expense of
coming is very heavy, and by thus
closing down on work great saving
can be effected at the various minis.
No silver dollars are being coined at
San Francisco or New Orleans, and but
very few at Philadelphia. The only
coinage now being executed is that of
fractional silver at Philadelphia, San
Francisco and New Orleans. This
fractional silver is made out of the
wornout, uncurrent fractional silver
coins taken out Of circulation, and the
difference in weight is made up from
silver purchased by special appropria-
ton made by Congress for that purpose.

SHERIFFS HAVE NO sINICURE
The Economical Seventeent Makes a Big Cut in Fees-7Joe Scott Talks.

"A sheriff can't help the fee laws of that legislature, but he can resign"
 Thus spoke Sheriff Joe Scott, relative to an enactment of the last legislature that very, very economical seventeenth entitled An Act to Regulate the Fses and Salaries of Certain County Officers"
 The act Tn question cuts down the fees. From the manner in which 1t takes money from the sheriff's pocket and puts it iato the lltigant's one might think that the sheritfs of Arizona are getting rich.
 Even so, at the end of last quarter Sheriff Scott remarked that the sheriff's office of Pima county hadn't realized ex- penses for the quarter. And that, too, b fore the going into effect of that "Act to Regulate the Fees of Certain County Officers" And Sheriff Brown, by no means an eItravagant man, dld not re- tire to live on the income of the emolu- ments Of that office for hls two years.
 The old laws provided that where varIous processes were to be made in case, so far as possible they should be served at one time, and that single milage should be charged.
 But the new law is queer one. In part 1t reads:
 Provided fur her, that in travelling in serving any roc ss or subpoena, not otherwise pro vlded for, the sum of thirty Ients per mile for each mile actually and necessa ariiy travelled, by the most direct and usual y-trayelled rout. to be charged one way only; if twJ more persons De named Tn the same proc or subpoena ia the same case. or In different proc ss sub peena m different cases but one miisge sh Il bs charged, allowed or pad, and that for tbe most distant person served in the same general direction.
 Thus it would seem that were two civil suits to be served with processes in the same locality at about the same t. me, one being trifiing 6ffair invoiv- ing say S2O and the other involving say SlO.OOO, in case the S20 suit was a quarter of a mile the farthest fir, m the court house it would stand the costs and mIlage, while the Sl0,OO0 suit would have service gratis.
 Or perhaps that last clause quoted may not be interpreted as providing that the m farthest away must stand the whole cost In that case the question of how much of the whole he would stand arises; whether it would be for the last quarter of a mile, or half of the milage or half the milage to the S10,- OOO man plus a quarter of a mile. Matters have been sadly complicated by that law.
 Sheriff Scott "supposes" another case. Suppose he We're to serve papers in three criminal cases, all at La Osa, eighty miles away. The serving of papers in the three .ses would be S9. And counting milage as provided in the extract quoted but S24 milage is allowed. This is is total of s33. To make this trip will take four days. Teams are worth s5 a day. There goes S20. He must leave man in the office those four days which at Sl200 salary would be Sl6. Total. S36; fees allowed, S33. It might be said that the sheriff's four days is something, but that is paid for. His salary is $500 year.
 With milage in each case his fees, all |. expenses considered, would not have been very eXtortlonate.

Arizona as a State.

During the last few years of it:
 Territorial history Arizona has made
 magnificent progress in every mat
 erial province, and is now fully
 equipped for her entry into the
 galaxy of States. That this will : shortly be accomplished there is nc reasonable doubt. As a commen-
 oration of this probable event, and
 to still further aid in the progress
 and development, the Herald will
 compile and publish Souvenir
 History of Arizona, setting forth the past struggles of the Territory and their splendid fruition in the present. The book will be the hand somest, as to typography and illus trations, that has ever been published in Arizona, and no expense nor care will be lacking to make it a worthy and attractive publication.
 In the furtherance of this work we ask no aid from the Territorial treasury, but we do seek individual aid of citizens, as in helping this enterprise they help themselves, and and through this Souvenir History the attention of people all over the United States will be called to the exceptional facilities Arizona affords for investment of capital, or settle ment by individuals.
 Territories, like persons, must either advance or reuograde, and If we rest contented with our efforts in the past, we shall surely lose ground in the strife for progress with neighboring states. There has never been better oppor- tunity than now to elaborate the re- sources of Arizona and the fruitful yield they present to the capitalist, miner, farmer, stockman, merchant or settler. Many pamphlets have been issued on this subject, but generally being published in the interest of some particular corporation or enterprise, they were specific and not general in their scope. The Souvenir History will embrace all the salient features ofthe Territory, and be most valuable incentive to examination of the resour- Ces. as well as a handsome demonstra- tion of their successful availability by Arizona people.
 This work will be gratuitously dis tributed over the United States, and in the presentation of the merits of the work by canvassers, the hearld be- speaks for them the courteous atten- tion of all citizens. The general pur- port of the Souvenir History is to man. ifest, in literary way, the capabilities of Arizona, just as the Columbian Ex- position displays, by objects, the capa- bilities of the common country, and in this laudable and worthy pupose we solicit the assistance and cooperation of the public sitizens of Arizona.

AN UGLY AFFAIR.
Three Swapping Young Mexicans
 Carry Away a Young Girl.

A seduction affair that may develop into a charge of rape occurred last night.
 Three strap ping young Mexicans took charge of house belonging to an old man named Navarete, where lived also Navarete's wife and adopted daughter, Concepci'n Navarete, twelve years old. At least the girl claims she IS but twelve years old. She is large for that age.
 From the story of the old man up to the time that he remembered DO more, connected with the story of the woman, and what the girl can remember of 1t, it seems three Mexicans, Aristo Cruz, Carlos Trusado and Juan Martinez, full of driGk and more in bottles, went to Navarete's house, became hilarious, and made the Jld man and girl drunk.
 Then, much against the protestations of the woman, they took the girl from the house by force. In the course of the affray the old man aud tbe woman were both struck by the Mexicans.
 Officers were called, and the girl and Cruz, both quite d. unk, were found in bed in a house three blocks from the Narvar te place.
 The affair is likely to be pretty seri- ous one for the Mexlcans They have already been given sentences in the re- corder's court for disturbing the peace, and on expiration of their sentence will have to answer to warrants on the charge of seduction. Possibly also charge of rape may be sustained. Either are grand jury offenses.
 Before the recorder Martinez and Cruz plead guilty and were given seven days. Trusado plead not guilty, was convicted, and got ten days.

On the 25th the aff .ir was thus:
Windmills for Irrigation.

The windmill season is again at hand. Many of the small ranches in the canyons and valleys of Arizona are pro- vided with that very cheap power, "the free air We breathe"
 A good wheel will raise water enough to irriga'e quite an extensive orchard. Chas. Hoff, the aermotor man, says that twentyfoet wheel will raise water enough to irrigate twenty acres of trees. And very good work is being done in tbe territory with smaller wheels.
 For lawns the small wheels are in great demand.
 Mr. Hoff has lately sold aermotors in Pima county to J. NJ. Berger, school district No. F, Mrs. Oliver, M. c. Sama- niego, M. Moreno and Sue Kee. He shipped two this week to Mesa.

PENSION COMMISSIONER LoCHREN has ? given the country an exhibition of ex- treme political partisanship that was never surpassed even during the ad mInistration of that most partisan presi- dent, Andrew Jackson. This is all the more surprising because from his judi cIal training fairness at least was ex- pected of him. It has been the custom ever since there have been medical boards to examine applicants for pen sions to make those boards non- partisan by having them composed of two mem bers of the party in power and one of the opposition, but this custom has been overturned by Lochren who boldly an nounces bis purpose to make these . boards entirely democratic, and to add insult to injury he has the audacity to call this rank injustice to tue repub bh- can party and the veterans reform, Such reform" is but anoih r name for narrow-minded partisanship.

THE possibility of establishing a thousand homes in the Santa Cruz valley should not be lost sight of by our Board of Trade. It can be done with advantage to the city and county, to say nothing of the thousands such move ment would bring happiness and com- fort to. In almost any other country the advantages offered for homes on the Santa Cruz would be acted on and util- ized in a day, but with us years are thrown away and We are content to sit and see the tide of progress rush by us. If We are not drifting into ruin We are doing nothing to build our resources up. Silver mining is at a discount, the ranges are bare of grass. business is dull and money scarce. While our citizeus are not accountable for much of this condition of affairs they are neverthe- less at fault for lack of more energetic acting. The agricultural resources of the country are stupendous, but so long as We allow them to lie dead and proftless no change for the better can be expected. The result is in our own hands

Bees Helped Him to Win.

News reached Raleigh, N. C., the other day of remarkable fight in Cleveland county, near the South Caro- lima line. Two men, named Trout and Hutchins, were removing a beehive about which they had wrapped cloth. Two men named Mcdaniel met them and a quarrel and fight followed. Hutchins stripped the cloth from the hive and placing it over his head held the hive in front as he advanced toward the McDaniels. Bees poured out and savagely attacked the latter, who had to retreat. One of them shot Hutchins in the shoulder, but he ad- vanced with his novel Gatling gun,and, aided by the bees, drove the McDaniels over the line into South Carolina.

NORTHERN ARIZONA.
A Grand Country Cheaper Lumber for Tucson Soon Sheep Industry.

Northern Arizona IS now, practically, almost as far away from southern Ari- zons hs New Orleans or San Francisco. The opening of the north and south road will make great changes in this respect.
 T. A. Judd, back from the Odd Fellows grand lodge there, reports that northern Arizona is a fine country. Great sweeps of forests await the wood mans ax, miseral of almost every kind is abundant, and boundless cattle ranges spread in every direction.
 At Flagstaff sawmill turns out CO., 900 feet of lumber day. For last year the average run of the mill was 55.000 feet day. The concern also manufac- lures mouldings, sash and planed lumber, lath and shingles. With the new road will come the death blow of the adobe in southern Arizona. Lumber -first-class pine lumber-sells at the mill for s17 thousa1d. Add to this freights to southern Arizona and unless freights are great deal higher than they should be, lumber will reach Tucson for prices that will permit of the exchange of the unsightfy adobe for neat and pretty frame structures.
 The same principle applies on pota- toes. In Flagstaff potatoes retail for two and half cents, and wholesale for from S17 to S25 ton. Such figures as those, plus freight,will permit of selling potatoes in Tucson for less than four cents, as at present.
 The new north and south road, says MT. Judd. is beng built in the most substantial manner. It is strictly first class throughout. Three new engines are now in use and seven more have been ordered.
 A feat of engineering is loop where the track at one place is but mile from where It is 900 feet lower. For six miles the track makes a terrific clint b around curves, through big cuts, over trestles-there are ten trestles in tba six miles, one 100 fest high,-back to within a mile of the starting place, but 800 feet higher. It looks as though one might throw a stone from there down to the lower track.
 SHEEP GROWING.
 Sheep growing is great industry in northern Arizona. This years clip was 8 fair one. Two clips a year are made. These are nearly as heavy as the tieeces cut in the east but once a year. Con- sidering, too, the rapid increase and the fact that so far as he goes the sheep is as good meat as cattle, and that he can thrive almost as easily as the Jack rab- bit, it is obvious that sheep-growing is profitable.
 Good rains fell through northern Ari- zona recently and the range was much improved thereby.
