A. & F. Contracts Continue.

Receiver Walker, of the Santa Fe system, speaking of the recent action taken to terminate the existing con- tracts with the Atlantic & Pacific Co said it was not the intention to cease operating the Atlantic & Pacific, or to affect in any way the present arrange ments for handling its traffic. It was found by various old agreements that the Santa Fe X Frisco lines thad un- dertaken not only to make good all losses in oprating the Atlantic X facii- ic, but also to pay various other obligations, including interest at per cent bonds. These contracts could not.be carried out by the receivers, the afore mentioned roabs now being in- solvent.

Clip the last thirty years or more rom the century. and the segmen. will represent the term of the un-
 bounded popularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The opening of the year 1895 will be signslized by the appearance of fresh almanac Of the Bitters, in which the uses, derivation, and action of this world-famous medi- cine will be lucidly set forth.

THE fee bill passed by the last leg islature should be repealed. It is un- just, and was uncalled for. It was passed to spite the county recorders and sheriffs of some of the counties. The injustice of it is seen in Cochise county, where the sheriff who has been barely able to make living, is placed on & pittance that is inadequate to the work performed and risks taken in the discharge of his duty. Cocbise county has always been fortunate in getting good men to occupy the very important position of sheriff. They have heretofore been fairly paid. Hereafter if any growl is made about the insufiiciency of the service, that can be placed at the door of false economy, which prompted the I7th legislature to make the cut. Asherif cannot employ a half dozen deputies to be in readiness at moments notice unless be can see ahead of him in . financial sense.

OF the brightest and most talented OF these

tenslve work done by it in establishing suitable
relation and connection between high scno oil
and university: but "just like woman" as
some Of our brothers might say, ana 'Just ike
a man." as the sisters might retaiiate, the
speaker went "ess than hundred miles" out
OF her way 10 aIlude without praise to ano her

before adver tis-d." and then after this innnen-
do, IL not insinuation, going less than a mile
out Of her way, proceeded to give what In news

Using pun 10 private school In our city Win
which the speaker was formerly, and Is per-
haps now, pecuniarily interested. Consistency
thou art jewel!
Noting two such grave errors in half-hours
carefully prepared speech. one can but con-
slider with misirust the promise OF that purln-
cation, Of that ennobling, that eevating ele-
ment. to introduce which into politics and into
public affairs these who claim to stand on the
highest pinnacle yet reached by woman are
demanding opportunity.
While we women do such things can we con-

given-to do better than do our fathers. our

MUNICIPAL CREDIT.

The fact that the city of Paris had offers
of $500. 600, 600 in resnonse to a call for
loan of $4,000. 900 at 2512 per cent is spoken
of as an evidence thai the credit of Paris
is superior to that of American cities. But
the rate at which money can be borrowed
is but one element of credit. Credit could
not be so high that money would be offered
in large amounts if private industries af-
fOrded a reasonably safe and profit 40
use of capital. The French people accept
az per cent because they see no safe way to
get more. France is so highly developed
that new enterprises are considered
hazardous. The readiness with which
capital can be found for such enterprises
was illustrated in the rush for Panama
canal stock. There never was any security
for that investment except faith. The
French had confidence in De Lesseps and
consequently put their money in his con-
Irol. But the highest credit does not re-
turn more than it promises. Admit that
Paris is a richer city than New York. it
would not under equal conditions be able
30 borrow money at lower rate. New
York is rich enough TO pay all it will Dor
row, and Paris will do no more. France
is a maryelously rich country, but it does
not offer inducements to American cap
ital. 1t is pretty good place to spend
money In, but Americans would, in ordi-
nary lines Of industry, have hard time
in getting along. Except, perhaps. a few
artists Americans in Paris live On the
American interest Of their American

THE SWEATShOP.

The British Labor Commission has
touched vital point in its report. 1t says
Some strong measures should be taken with a
view TO the Improvement, or when that may
prove impossible, the gradual extinction OF the
lowest class OF workplaces in which Industries
are carried on.
The point for the friends of labor to
work at is always the lowest point. II the
lowest point can be raised one point higher
the point that Is then lowest may be at
tackled. 1t is of little use for the friends
of labor to work for better conditions in
the average class of workplaces while the
lower class is competing with them. The
intelligent. well-fed laborer may be the
cheapest in the long run, but in the short
run the lowest priced labor gets the work
and fixes prices. The lowest class of work.
places is the sweatshOp. In these there is
10 limit as to hours of labor except the
limit of human endurance. The use Of the
1ving-reom as workshop saves one rent.
This kind of competition with factories
which conform TO laws in respect to hours
of labor and sanitary conditions is unfair.
The factory. II save itself, lowers wages.
Now, II is of no use TO fight the factory. In
most cases it is doing the best it can under
existing conditions. But the whole force
Of reform should be directed against the
lowest workplace, the place which compels
the factories TO meet its cut in wages.
