The decision of Judge Baker in declaring the banking law invalid has stricken upwards of one million dollars from the assessment roll of the territory and relieves the banking institu- tons from paying lust tax. This decision goes to the support of class of men who are better able to help support the county govern. ment than any others, and overturns several elaborate decisions of the supreme court of the United States on similar cases. If the bankers and money loaners of this country are priv lleged by our courts to escape taxation, why should farmers pay taxes?-Gazette.
 It was hardly to be expected that the honest decision of an honest judge would suit the Gazette. That kind of judges and judicial opinions are not in line with it's way of thinking. Judge Bakers opinion in the bank cases IS pronounced by every lawyer in the city as strictly according to the law in the matter. Judge Baker has not over- turned any decisions of the United States supreme court, but the law in question is in direct conflict with the United States statutes on the subject. Judge Baker needs no defense for the soundness of his opinion, so far as the law is concerned, is conceded. It is the author of the law in question that would seek to overturn the higher au- thorities, and rot Judge Baker. The animus of the Gazette, however, is ap- parent to those acquainted with it's ap- pearance heretofore in Judge Bakers court and it's criticisms of the court be- cause of the even-handed justice dealt out on that occasion.

THE CLAIMS OF ARIZONA.


 The Chicago Inter Ocean thus pre- sents Arizona's claims for statehood: It is desirable that the territorial con- dition shall cease throughout the repub- lie as soon as may be. Washington, Montana, Idaho, the Dakotas, Colo rado, Nebraska, all the territories, Nevada only excepted, that have been admitted to statehood within the last half century have given good accounts of themselves. Against each of them objections were urged upon the grounds of paucity of population, or character of the residents, or climatic conditions, or quality of soil, or lack of resources for state revenue, but the history of each of the young states, Nevada not counting, has belied the prognostics of evil; one and all have fourished be- yond expectation. As much is to be ex- pected from Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. The Democratic majority in the house is understood to be favorable to the admission of Utah and New Mexico, but to be less friendly toward the claims of Arizona.
 And yet, without disputing the wis dom of the policy that would endow Utah and New Mexico with statehood,

AN ARIZONA editor says that when the merchants and other fellows of his town want little advertising and job work done, they go around and solicit bids for the same, and the lowest bid der gets the work. The editor is now ready to receive sealed bids for sack of flour, pair of pants, hat and a cord of wood, and the pulling of an aching tooth-also for pair of brogans for his six months old baby.

we make bold to say that the claims of are as strong ss these of the adjacent territories. Arizona has not been cursed by long ascendency of polygamistic element; it has not been refuge of the lawless spirits of this Re public and of that of Mexico; it has not suffered the vicissitudes of community alternately boomed and depressed by the fortunes of mining or railway build ing speculators. Its growth has been steady and healthful; it's immigrants have been of the industrial rather than of the adventurous class. It has erect ed schools for the education oi it's h. dian population at cost of $300,000, and they are maintained at yearly cost of nearly $130,e0O. Its school houses for white children in the county of Pima alone are worth about $77 ,000, and are kept up at yearly cost of $27 ,000. The counties of Apache, Co., chise, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Marco pa, Pinal, Yavapai and Yuma are, in proportion to population, as we'll pro- vided with schools as are most districts in the we'll settled states. Higher edu- cation is available through the mediums of the Territorial Normal school and of the Territorial University, the latter with corps of eleven able professors of agriculture, mining and metallurgy, chemistry, the ancient languages, civil engineering, modern languages and literature. It also has it's school of art and several business colleges. A people thus zealous in the work of education display the best qualities of citizenship.
 The resources of Arizona already are great, and in time must be magnificent. Large areas are admirably adapted to grazing purposes. The mineral wealth, though yet barely indicated by mining enterprises, is reasonably estimated to be immense; the $4,0OO,00O or so al- ready invested in mines has produced satisfactory results. Under a wise sys- tenn of irrigation the agricultural wealth of Arizona must become almost fabulous few products of the temper ate or the subtropical zones are un- suited to the irrigated soil of Arizona. The winter climate of the territory simply is the finest in the world. Capi- tai is flowing from the settled states of the Union into this promising region, and it's projected north and south rail- way will connect the rich mining and farming districts of the south with the coal fields and lumber regions on the northern boundaries.
 The territory has an area equal to that of the combined states of New
 York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania and Delaware, and soil and eli
 mate in which the cereals of Pennsyl- vania can be produced side by side with
 the fruits of southern California. To admit Utah or New Mexico and to re- ject Arizona will be a blunder in the
 practice of state making.

There has been a lot of senseless
talk INDUCED in by partisan republi-
cans in regard to the Hawaiian ques-
ton. The temptation to try to make
political capital out of Cleyeland's
actions was too great to resist; and the
organs have been busy attempting to
prove that the presidents course has
been un- democratic and American.
Some Democrats have also raised the
same cry; and for their benefit, The
Atlanta Constitution of recent date
gives the following statement of facts:
"Those democrats who have made
it a principle to oppose every act of
the present democratic administration
sought to create the impression that
the issue in Hawaii is between a re-
public and monarchy. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The
present government of Hawaii is not a
republic nor has it any semblance Of
republicanism. If it was set up with
out the aid and consent of the people
by clique of conspirators, foreigners
mostly, supported by United States
marines ordered on shore by Minister
Stevens. 1t is an oligarchy, pure and
simple, and the only element of de-
mocracy or republicanism in it is that
the head of the clique is called "pres
idpnt''

The Milwaukee people rejoice over
the re-opening of the Marine bank.
John Johnston, occupies his old posi-
ton of cashier, from which he retired
about year ago. The Milwaukee
Telegraph Of Jan. 20 says:
1.-THE public's confidence in and ap-
probation of Mr.. Johnston was strong
ly illustrated by the number of prom
inent men who were early on hand to
to congratulate him in his new posi-
ton as cashier. OF deposits there was
a surprisingly large number and in big
sums. The first man to make a de-
posit was Mr.. Jacob Lift, of the Bijou
opera house, who handed Mr.. John
ston a deposit of $4,000. Mr..
Murphy followed in close order with
$4,000 from the Milwaukee National
bank. And then they came thick
and fast. 1t looks as though the re-
organized Marine Bank is stronger
than it has ever been before.

Men who are able to work, and who
can get work, but who will not work,
should not be given single bit of
help by the city or county.
The best way to help the poor who
can work is to make work for them
and pay them in wages instead of
making them presents.
Don't let frauds impose upon you.
Give only to those whom you know
are in need and cannot work, when
work is offered, and earn what they
need.

PLEDGES REDEEMED.

The Democrats of Wisconsin have
redeemed the pledge which they made
to the people that if placed ia control
of the state government the interest
earned by the public funds would be
covered into the treasury. That this
pledge was being redeemed has been
shown by the statements made from
time to time of the amounts Of interest
earned and credited to the several
funds. A little more than three years
ago the people of the state by their
endorsement of the Democratic candi-
dates, expressed the desire that stop
be put the vicious practice of allow
ing state treasurers to appropriate this
money to their own uses. That it has
been effectually stopped is shown by
the following summary of the matter
printed in The Milwaukee Journal of
Saturday, Jan. 20:
The returns of the state bank depos-
itories for the last quarter of 1893
have all been made to the state treas
urer. These returns permit COM
plete statement of the amount of
interest received by the state from de-
posts Of public funds from Jan 5,
1891, when the Democratic state ad-
ministration began, ur to Jan. l, 1894,
four days less than three years. The
amount Of interest earned by the pub
lie funds in these three Democratic
years is $9O,923.10, or at the rate of
nearly $4,000 year.
Of this amount $4O,677.O7 was
earned by the deposits belonging to
the general fund and $4O,O46.O3 by de
posts Of the trust funds. The inter
est has been apportioned to the sever
al funds, according to the official
statement of the state treasurer. and
the amount of interest earned in each
of the three years:

We find in The columns of The
Prairie du Chen Courier the follow
ing merited rebuke to partisan edit
ors who published the blasphemous
production entitled, "a Prayer to
Cleveland"
"Some of our republican exchanges
are publishing for the delectation of
their readers, prayers to CleI Gland,
couched in the ordinary formula of a
divine as he pleads with Deity for the
shortcomings of our race, and for His
blessings upon us. 1t is a dastardly
outrage on the finer feelings of the
people who love the life that makes
for higher character" and cowardly
stab at the spirit of prayer and ven
Grafton. The indecency of it should
cause its exclusion from the United
States mails"
The Courier is right. No stronger
evidence of ones desire to subordinate
all else to party can be given than to
burlesque the higher hopes and feel
ings of humanity, in the vain attempt
to bring into ridicule those in author
ity, because they differ with him polit-
ically. Honest, manly criticism is all
right; but blasphemous burlesque is
wrong. How can he who INDUCES in
such burlesque hope to instil into the
minds of the youth of the land obedi-
ence to law or reverence for civil
authority
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1894-01-26

by the educational trust funds OF the
state and it is added to those funds to
the amount of $40,877.O7. 1t is a very
good record for the party which was
charged with enmity toward the pub
lie schools, and it refutes such charges
more forcibly than any language that
could be employed.
The showing might have been much
greater had the Democratic commits
sioners of the public trust funds fol-
lowed the example Of their Republican
predecessors and allowed the funds to
accumulate in the treasury for the
sake of swelling the interest. Instead
of doing so they have carefully invest
ed the trust funds as fast as possible
in good and safe securities and thus
steadily added to the regular income
of the funds. The interest of the
trust funds invested under the Demo
cratic administration amounts to about
$4,000 year, the principal of these
investments being nearly 100000.
The small balances in the various trust
funds shown in the table are of them
selves proof of the closeness with
which the funds are carried into perm
anent investments.
The interest received during the
year 1891, the first year of Democratic
administration, was considerably larger
than the amount received during the
succeeding year. The reason for this
excess lies in the fact that the one
mill school tax in that year was
left in the treasury from the time of
it's collection until June before it was
distributed to the several counties.
Under the act of the legislature Of
1891 this tax was left directly with the
counties on it's collection instead of
being paid over to the state, thus sim
plyfying the business and giving the
use Of the money to the school instead
of to the treasurer for four or five
months. Under the Republican re-
gime this large amount of money, con-
siderably over half million dollars,
Wds earning interest for the state
treasurer during those four or five
months, though under the decisions Of
the courts in the treasury cases it was
eventually returned to the state.
Under the present administration each
public fund gets the interest on all
amounts on hand belonging to it.
Another year of Democratic admin
istration will increase the amount Of
interest earned by the public funds to
considerably more than 100000, to
say nothing of the large amount earn
ed by the additional permanent in
vestment of the trust funds, about
another 100000. Thus the balance
sheet will show nearly or quite $780,
900 of interest earned by the public
funds as against nothing in previous
years.
The recent payments on the Guen-
ther judgment by ex-senator Sawyer
raises the amount of interest recovered
from the ex-state treasurers to aboat
100000. Taking the two accounts
into consideration, the Democratic
state administration will be able to
show at the end of the present year a
total of about 100000 to the credit of
the interest account. The people of
the state of Wisconsin are justified in
taking the pride they do in the pres
ent administration of state affairs.
