THE ANNOUNCEMENT by the electric car company of it's intention to extend it's line to the railroad depot following the declaration by the Maricopa X Phoenix road of it's purpose to operate continuous line from First avenue and Jefferson street, Is cause for congratu- latIon to the people of the city and the valley. It goes without saying that the greater facilities we have for trans portation from one part of tue city to another, or between the various parts of the valley, the better. The construction of these lines of traffic is not only promotion of prosperity but an indica- tion of it. Whether traffic makes busi- ness or whether business makes traffic IS question that may safely be left to sociologists for settlement. It is pos sible however that they are intimately related. We hope to see the time when every street will have its busy railway line. When that time comes we shall have realized the hope that we entertain of the future greatness and importance of our city. The city council should not hesitate in granting the right to construct these lines. Its only concern should be to see that they shall be constructed and operated under such conditions that they will best serve the public to the least practicable annoyance. It should encourage rather than discour- age such enterprises. Every great city owes it's importance and greatness to It's superior means of transportation, internal as well as with the outside. Let us be. in line.

THERE CAN be no valid objection to the council setting apart some portion of the city for an evil that no city has been able to abate. Nor should the council be criticised because there hap pens to be building suitable or in- tended for such purpose in the district thus set apart. The council is acting for the best interests of the greatest nun Der of people. The council should be given credit rather than criticised for making good bargain. Criticism, if any, should be in the direction of the man who for literally filthy coin per- mits his premises to be used for such base purposes.

GEORGE GOULD, the son of his father, Is making wry mouth because New York wants him to pay personal taxes on $10,0O0,000. The property was as- sessed at that sum by the surrogate, and inheritance tax on that amount was paid, but the only Jay never paid tax on more than $5OO,O0 when he was around to look after things. George thinks it is cheaper to move than to pay tax, so he has located ln a foreign coun- try, to wit, New Jersey.

THE POSTS MUST GO

Ii the present city council never did anything more than the movement al- ready inaugurated by it to tear down the unsightly sign posts which have been disgrace to the streets, it would have earned the thanks of the people.
 These poste with their jay signs have caused new corners to wonder if they had not landed in an ancient city of the Aztecs, and have been a source of an- noyance to our people until they have become what the present council de- clares them to be a nuisance.
 Not only should the further erection of posts be abated, but the marshal

THE LOST MILLIONS.

People wonder why there IS not more activity in business circles, says the San Francisco Bulletin. It is 0 little over year since the present depression began to manifest itself in the failures of banks and commercial firms on a scale beyond the ordinary. The bank troubles practically ceased last Novem- Der. Nothing unusual in that depart ment has since occurred. Failures among business firms have also showed decrease for several weeks. Never theless there is a good deal of complaint of want of activity in general busi- ness and industrial circles. These complaints are not without cause. Some attribute the dullness to one thing and some another. In the last analysis one reason for the apathy is because of the restricted amount of money in active circulation. This is not the result of any contraction of the aggregate amount of currency in the country, for the total amount of money, coined and issued, is larger than usual. It is not the volume of currency in the country that determines activity in business circles, but the amount in actual use.
 The producing and wage-earning classes have less money to spend than they had two years ago. This is be- cause of the great depreciation in the value of farm and other products. The agricultural department at Washington has recently been making some com parisons along this line. It places the value of cotton and seven cereals in 1891 at $1.979, ,094, ,056, and the same articles in 1893 at $l 1909, 7S9, ,15S, show ing depreciation in the two years of $669, 1904 1898. This loss of more than one-third in the buying ability of the cotton and grain raisers of the country explains away much of the want of activity in the commercial circles. There has not only been large decrease in the wheat and corn crops between 1891 and 1893, but an unusual shrinkage in values. The one way of light out of this condition of gloom is the hope, which all like to believe to be well founded, that commercial values have gone about as low as they can, and that the reaction, when it does set in, will be radical. Though this is the dull season of the year in this territory, the money activity, as shown by the move ment across bank counters, has been greater in the past few weeks than for some time previously.
 Another reason is the unWillingness of manufacturers to produce goods, and of dealers to order either domestic or foreign consignments pending tariff legislation. Until some conclusion is reached on that subject, trade must necessarily be dull and confined to SUD- plying immediate demands. It is the Democratic congress that has caused the country to lose these millions.

Abuse of Al resting White Men for Sell
ing Liquor to Indians stopped.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 17.-Judge
Bellinger of the United States district
court has determined to put a stop to
the abuse of arresting white men for
selling liquor to Indians. Deputy
marshals in remote parts of the state
have made a business of arresting and
bringing TO this city at heavy cost all
white men found giving liquor 10 the
Indians. The average cost to the
government In each case was about
$500, while the fine impo, ed on the de-
fendant was seldom more than $40.
Recently Judge Bellinger held that
Indians holding lanGs in severalty
were TO be considered citizens and
amenable to the state laws. An infor-
nation was filed against two white
men. charging them with selling liquor
TO an Indian while ward of the
United States and under the charge of
duly authorized Indian agents. This
is new departure, so far as the charge
usually Is concerned, but he distric;
attorney was not successful in having
1t accepted. Judge Belinger refused
to allow any such information to be
filed in his court. He held that ''if
these cases were of sufficient import
ance the district attorney must proceed
with them by indictment. The BUSH
ness had become farcical. If the cases
were of enough consequence as to
require action in the district court
there would have to he such punish
ment to the offender as will have de-
terrent effect OH the commission of such
crime. The court does not feel author
lied to impose such punishment except
when there has been an indictment by
the grand jury. Such is the practice
in the districts of Washington, Idaho
and Nevada, and there is no reason
why the same rule should not be OH
served here. Ii the cases are frivolous
they require but small punishment
Inc stale authorities can take care OF
them and the state law is more drastic
than the federal"

HOME AT GRAY GABLES.

The President VIII Visit a Few Hours
With His Family.
BUzzARDs BAY, Aug. President
Cleveland arrived at Gray Gables today
and was atfectionately greeted by Mrs.
Cleveland and the children. He APP
peared to be in good health and was
delighted to see his family. The light
house tender, John Rogers, steamed
into the bay past the island shortly
after 8 O'clock. During the night a
coal schooner had appropriated the
Gray Gables mornings and the Rogers
drifted idly toward Monument beach.
Then there was slight delay, when
she steamed back To point opposite
Gray Gables and anchored. A few
minutes laIer President Cleveland, ac-
companied by DIR. O'Reilly and party,
entered the boat anu were sent ashore
at the Gray Gables landing.
Mrs. Cleveland said she mad talked
to the president very little and could
not say what his plans were. He would
remain AT home but few days, how.
ever, as important business would
compel his return to Washington.

The Case of Genera Ezeta Grows

BEYOND THE REACH OF RESCUE
Warrants for the Arrest OF the Fugatives

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. III requi-
sition papers for warrants for the arrest
Of General Antonio Ezeta aud three
other refugees from San Salvador were
dispatched from Washington on the
nth inst, as the authorities here led
the public to believe, it Is conceded that
the documents must have been IN San
Francisco at least two days. Notwith-
standing this fact, however, the gum
boat on which the refugees are priso-
ners is still cruising off the shore.
There is every indication that she is
TO be Kept at sea Indefinitely. This
morning Lieutenant Stoney came over
from Mare island, chartered the tug
boat Sea King and went To sea again
with another big supply of fruit, veg
etables and fresh meat for the Benning-
ton, indicating that ii is the govern
menps intention to keep the refugees
outside the three-mile limit and beyond
the reach of habeas corpus for at least
day or two. This strange delay is "A
puzzle to the local federal authorities,
who are all but certain that the neces-
sary documents in the case have ar
rived from Was hington and are now
in the hands of the San Salvador Off
cials here.
The only plausible explanation is
that the local officials of the govern
ment of San Salvador, some of whom
are known to be friendly to Ezata, ale
all fighting among themselves. The
president of San Salvador appointed a
new consul here on Saturday last. 1t
is considered probable that the deposed
consul, Yrigoyen, who Is a close friend
of Ezeta, and who hurried Off 10 New
York recently to confer with Carlos
Ezeta, the deposed president, has re-
fused to deliver the documents 10 his

China's Inquiry for Loan Is Ad-

NEGOTIATIONS YET IN EMBRYO
Late News From the Orient-Japanese
People Enthusiastic over the
War With China.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Inquiries made
by reporter of the Associated Press at
the Office of Jardine, Matheson g. Co,
London and China merchants, and at
the offices of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai banking companies, show
that the loan which the great banking
institutions Of Berlin are said to be
floating for China, amounts to 10000
600 toels and not 100000, 900, as pre-
vious announced here and ia Berlin.
A .Jel is estimated to be worth about
,.ae ounce and one-Lhird in silver
roughly speaking, 6 shillings sterling
or Sl.40, supposing that these amounts
represent value of the weight of one
toel.
1t appears that about a month ago
China inquired through "a Hong Kong
and Shanghai bank for the rate at
which such loan, to be made in silver.
could be effected. The bank immedi-
ately offered to loan the Chinese gov
eminent $1,000, 900 sterling, or S5.000,-
900. JardIne, Matheson d Co., who
also had been consulted in regard 10
proposed Chinese loan, offered to lend
China another million pounds or as
much more as the government should
require, but Viceroy Ii Hung Chang
declined both offers at the time, saying
there was no immediate necessity for
the money, as China had plenty to go
on with.
There is great scramble among
financial circles, including London
brokers of all ranks, TO get on the in
side of the operation and there is no
doubt that the loan is obtainable in
London twenty times over. The hard
ness of the silver market is most pro-
nounced and il has ympAthetically
hardened the price of copper.
