A DIFFERENCE.

lT is estimated that if all who are paid out of the public treasury of the counties and territory were compcn- sated at the same ratio for work done, as are bOOkkeepers, salesmen and other professionals. that the tax bur dens would be reduced at least one fifth and there would be just as many applicants to perform the services as now, and of equal ability. There must be something done to reduce the tax burdens of the people. and the work must begin with those who are rcceiy- ing double the compensation paid for equally responsible services in other lines of work. Star.
 But if bookkeepers, salesmen, etc. had to get out into the country every two years, and put in two or three months setting pins to get or keep their jobs after they had once got them, the salaries of all such positions would advance to very near if not quite the figure paid public officials. A democratic form of government de- mands rotation in office and must pay for it. This continual cry about tEc cost of free government is out Of place. The only way to make public servants feel they are servants and not masters is uncertainty Of tenure. And that very uncertainty of tenure makes tine service cost more than were the place held through lie tenure. Everything that can be said in favor of keeping officials in place during good behavior can likewise be said of the chief magistfacy. If America is to be ruled by monarchical notions why not go the entire tiekec and create a king? But if we are Co have free government with frequent returns of power Co the people, we should be will. ing to pay for the boon and not whim- per.

THERE is no more reason for reviy- ing the grade oflieutenant general for Schotield than there was for reyiying it for Hancock, Sicklcs, Crook or How ard. His service has been no more conspicuous than was that done by number of major generals who were never mentioned for lieutenant gen eral. His fame as general rests up- on the battle of Franklin, and there he did no more than did Sickles at Gettysburg, Hancock at the Bloody Angle, Corse at Altoona, Thomas at Chickamanga or Logan in front of Atlanta. All these soldiers reached fame and performed service as great as Schofeld. Their places in history rank his and he should not outrank them in title aud reward.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ARIZONA.

Some of the bucolic and COW county journals of Arizona are in a decided state of mind through fear that Gov ernor Hughes, in his forthcoming mes sage to the legislature will recom- mem the adoption of woman suffrage some of them asserting that the wo- men of Arizona don't want to vote, and others even going so far as to re- new the old, exploded assertion that they cannot vote intelligently. Since when were the sapicnt editors to whom this alluS0n is made the c0nti- dants of the wants and needs of the fair sex of Arizona? TIE OASIS will venture the assertion that at Phoenix Tucsod, Prescott, Nogales and other centers of progress and intelligence in Arizona, large body of the best, most highly educated and most refined wo- men are ready and willing, if not anx- ious, to exercise the electoral fran chise.
 The other assertion that the fair sex cannot vote inteligently is absolute hardihood falsehood, perhaps, would be q more fitting word. The recent election in Colorado demonstrated that the women voted farmore intelli- gently and discriminatory than the men. They had far more thoroughly mastered the intricacies of the Austra- Han ballot; and none of them were obliged to ask aid from the ballot clerks in making out their ballots, while their tickets were all clearly and intelligently marked. without any of those palpable errors which clearly yitiated the whole ticket and caused it's rejection, as was the case with the tickets made 0ut and voted by many men. Those who wanted to vote split tickets did so with remarkable ease and facility, and those who wanted the straight ticket had no ditlicultyin in plainly designating their choice. which is more than can be said of many men.
 The real trouble with our objecting contemporaries they are all democra- tic--is that the Colorado election has demonstrated that the great majority of the ladies vote the republican tick ct. That accounts for the milk in the cocanut.n With woman suffrage republican ascendancy will be assured for many years, and the hidebound, mossbacked democratic journal looks upon the rising tide Of political equal ity for the sexes with a sentiment akin to horror.

with a screwdriyer or cold chiscl we go
around to each hive, puff little smoke
in at the entrance and pry the body
loose from the bottom board, as it will
always he stuck down with propolis. 1t
may yield with a little gnap, and it will
be necessary to use little smoke to
make the bees behave. The bottom
boards all lOOsened, with an assistant
and a couple of hive carriers we proceed
to carry the bees into the cellar.
1t is to be observed that our hive car
riers are simply a couple of lengths Of
wire bent in the shape Of letter '. IN
ordinary wooden pail handle being slip
ped through to the middle of the wire.
Both ends are bent down in the shape
shown in the cut in the enlarged view.
The ends are then bent in the form of a
hook so as to catch on the bottom board.
Now, then, to pick up the hives and
carry them into the cellar we lift the
front end Of the bottom board up lit
tie and slip the hooks of the hive car
rier under. In like manner we catch
the rear end Of the bottom board, when
the hive is picked up as shown in the
cut, bottom board and all. We then
proceed to the cellar and deposit the
hive near the place where it Is supposed
to stay through the winter. Along on
two sides Of the cellar we have previous
ly laid scantling, say, IA or Is inches
apart, depending Of course upon the
length of the hive. We then pick the
hive Just brought in up by the hand
hoJss, lift it off it's bottom and lay 1t at
one end ON top Of the scantling and lay
the bottom board in one corner of the
cellar.
In like manner we bring in another
colony, lift it off the bottom board and
deposit it by the side of the other colony,
leaving inches between, and so on. We
bring in other colonies until the scant-
lings are covered with hives inches
apart. We are now ready to commence
another tier on top. The next hive that
is brought is piled on top of two others
in such way that the bottom covers the
space between two hives below, and 80 on
we pile the rows of the hives. The next
tier is followed up in the same manner,
until we have three or more tiers high,
each hive placed over the intervening
space between the two below.

CIeauierics DOuble Dairy FRONTS Where
They Are Run Right.
Creameries are money mills. tits put
ting it extremely mild to say that they
have doubled the dairy profits OF the
places where they are successfully run
ming. The buttermaling of the future
will be in creameries. They are here to
stay. But they are not here to stand
still In any sense. They must run, and
run by constantly improving methods.
Some fellow is always getting ahead OF
the average Of creamery operatives, and
others 10. IL o-t and come mp alongside
and perchance outstrip him. The race
is to the quick witted and observing. To
stand still is 20 fall back. To progress
slowly, even, is TO fall back in the pro-
cession. All must be on the alert or they
will be left in the rear.
This is why we so often refer to stan
dard topics. such as flavor. etc. One
third of our creameries are no credit to
themselves nOr TO the business. 1t is
not enough that they make better look
ing butter than the curdy humps their
patrons make at home. 1t is no honor
to compete with packing stock and
particolored grease. The competition is
with creamery butter made as it should
be made, and the good butter catches
the prices that are quoted with pleasure.
It is this laggard third that we want to
spur up, and we want to encourage the
winning two-thi.ds and keep them up
to their best efforts. Experience that
don't track is poor experience.
Making all the creamery butter gilt
edge will be benefit to the whole busi-
ness, as it will give it a better name. We
find the demand for private dairy butter
is kept up by the fact that some one sons
time saw the inwardness Of some dirty,
ill starred creamery, and ever afterward
he went around grooming in a cultural
undertone the refrain about creamery
butter looking well, but he had seen 1t
made and did not want any" Help each

I'd ucating Colts.

The writer was not long ago looking
ut a mixed lot of Ontario and western
colts. along with the breeder Of the west
erners. The latter took occasion TO re
mark on the docile temper of the eastern
colts, saying: isn't it strange these
beasts are 50 quiet. Ours would kick ua
TO pieces If we handled them the same
way. 1 suppose they have been used to
h6ndIing all their days" 1t does not
uced much horse lore TO see that colts
accnstomed to run nearly wild and get
habits in conformity with that usage
must be much less reliable than colts
familiar with all the variety of sights
and sounds that come in the way of the
colt reared in sight Of a railroad and
busy city. But there are elements of
value quite as important as those just
named. Even in the country one colt
may be found that will make little fuss
just because it has got accustomed to
trust tie superior being who at the time
controlS it.
There are colts tEat after year or

excited creature gets of the cause Of itG

things that will put value into young
