AN imperative duty devolves on the legislature to reduce taxation in Ari- Zona.-Star.
 This can readily be done by changing our criminal code and wiping from our statute books the disgracefnl laws that make fish of one class of property and flesh of another There IS no earthly reason why the county should be taxed to death to protect class of property that pays only one fifth the taxes when that same property could be better pro tected if placed on 8 common level with other values instead of being dignified with fifty times more costly process. Under the law as we have heretofore stated the theft of two bit hog must 20 to the district court with it's long and formidable array of concurrent expen- ses, for hearing and punishment, instead of being settled before the nearest jus- tice at the,time the witnesses were exam ined and the culprit bound over. If this is done it means punishment sure and swift to the perpetrator of the crime, but the moment he is bound over to the district court that moment loophole is opened for his escape and an almost bot tomless pit is yawning wide for the peo- ple's money. With proper adjustment of the laws ID question the court expen- ses would be reduced fully half and the taxes of the county lowered at least one | third.

A CHANG OF LOCALITY.

The following notice has been pro- mulgated, signed Eugene V. Debs:
 The general offices of tbe American Railway Unlon and the Railway Times have been removed to Terre Haute, Ind. The directors having been sentenced to prison, this change was made so that the work of the order could be efficient ly and economically done during their co:, fine ment. The work of organizing ana equipping the A. R. U. will be push ad with uDabated zeal as soon es It can be done under temporarily trying circum- -tsnces. All correspondence should be addressed to Eugene V. Debs, Terre Hsute, Ind.
 TERRE HAUrE, Ind, Dec. ?, 1794.
 Future orders from Mir. Debs will doubtless be dated Cook county jail Chicago" Meantime it is interesting to note that the A. R. U., which its founder declared to be as ''open as the day." is be made into a secret organiz stion, thus abandoning another of the sounding pretenses on which 1t was started out. Assurance" IS also to be held out as proposed attraction, but insurance requires money, and mean time the A. R.

THE erection of 8 new county out oi southern Pima IS already cropping out as 8 question for the consideration oi the coming legislature. Should the people of that county agree upon division as in the case of the people oi Yavspai when Coconino was created there will undoubtedly be twelfth county made in the territory.-Pboenix Herald.
 The people of Pima county do not wsnt the division referred to. If left to a vote of the county the scheme would be defeated by st least four to one. Ii Msricops county is seeking new coun- ties we trust she will confine her efforts to nearer home, but let Pima county alone.

A suit wes entered last fall to e!ec Hon.

MT Finley dissented and the board Of sup, ervisors were of like way of thinking. I. was maintained by Mir. Finley that his appointment to fill an upexpired term meant the remsiuIDg life Of the term and not till the next general elec- ton as his opponents sought to oonstrue it. A case of like import has recently come to the fore in Los Angeles. Con- menting on it the Herald of that city says:
 Some people were under the impress rsion that the supervisors could only ap- point Mir. Burr to hold office uStil the next general election two years hence. This is 8 mistake. By virtue of the laws of 1893 Sheriff Burr will remain ID of- Ace, until the next general election !, kbut the end of the term, which Is

HE PERFECT MAN.

One in . Thousand May Come Up to These
 Measurements.
 Physical Doctor Studer has done a great deal to improve the condition of young and old men in this city, s.ys the Detroit Tribune. His success is based on his scientific ideas. He be- heves in the old maxim that you must have a sound body to support a sound mind. He says that if you will bring him boy at sixteen years of age, and will agree to leave the lad in his hands for period of four or five years, by means of regular exercise, he can ac- complish almost anything as far as that boys body is concerned. He can change his height, his weight and his temperament; he can equip him with force that will be fine and robust; he will give the youth fund of strength and energy that will fit him for with standing any great and sudden mental or nervous shock, such as comes to all at one or another time in this life. As an incident of his work he can rid his patients of the blues, regulate their livers and stir up sluggish blood. He is the physician of arms, legs, lungs and heart, following natures remedies, air, water, sunlight and sensible, con- sssent exercise. When you decide that you ought to look to your body and you call on Mir. Studer, he begins by giving a physical examination. It is as searching and exact as science. Nothing is left to chance. He jots down twenty or thirty important items which tell the story of your physical life. Next he takes a small sheet of paper ingeniOusly arranged in parallel and horizontal squares, and records thereon in fine, straight strokes of the pen a chart OI your phy sicai condition showing your relation to the normal standard.
 That normal standard is the very sub stantial perfection of the imaginary one-thousandth man. In other words 1000 men, of all ages and conditions in life, were carefully measured, a gem eral average struck, and the result is made the basis of all the records of the school. Never yet. on first measure ments on entering the school, has a sub jeet presented himself whose bodily perfection chanced to score accurately with those of the very perfect one thousandth man. In one or two in stances that record has been ap- preached, but it yet remains to be du- plicated. The measurements of this ap- proximately perfect ''one thousandth man" will interest every lover 0x his race. They are given as follows:

THERE are indications of coincider

THERE are indications of coincident, if not concerted, movement abroad against American products, particularly cattle and beef. The latest action ir this direction, says Brsdstreet, has been taken by the Belgian government, which has closed the port of Antwerp against American meat and live stock This action is of greater importance than appears on the surface, owing to the fac. that the Swiss and part of the Austisn supply f American meat ksf come through Antwerp in large part Ia Frsu ce, IS recent consular report informs the state department, there is 6 movement to limit, If not to prevent, the importation of American meat. Thesf incidents, following upon the prohibi lions enforced ia Germany and Den mark and the action of Spain in refer ence to duties on American four, seem to point to 6 general European move ment, probably in the interests of the agricultural producers, to limit the share America has been acquiring ir foreign markets. Doubtless notice oi some kind will be taken of the move ment by the Washington government but of what kind has not yet been made apparent.

IN wishing our friends Hll prosperity 1 for the New Year we can assure them i that 1t opens with bright prospects, for those engaged in the miaeral industry. The magnificent and varied resources of our silver producing states are being developed to sn extent which will snort iy make up the heavy losses occasiOned oy the depreciation of silver, and wi ich
 will afford broader snd more durable foundation for Q greater prosperity. Ii It is true the prices of nearly all pro- Iucts are extremely low and the margin If profit small, but ihe enormous quan- fities produced hav+, Tn great meas ure, compensated for the small margin yer cost. The United States manu- lecturers are now demonstrating that they can hold their own against the world, and are gaining new markets in almost every country. Those who had T foreign market came through the panic and hard times Of the past two years with far less trouble than those who were limited to our own paralyzed consumption. It is highly gratifying 10 know that our markets are widening. Every article sent to foreign country helps our own market and also our bal auce of trade, and that in turn helps us in other ways, improving our national finances, which at the present time are the most serious drawback to 8 general revival of business. We can all conf deutly look forward to the coming year as full of encouragement and promise Of fair profits and increasing business. The foregoing is from the Engineer ing and Mining Journal and would be 'ull of hope for the future but for the continual circumscriting of our markets oy the governments of Europe. Under
 reciprocity, as established by Blaine, the
 markets of the world were open to uR, but with the snnulment of treaty rights | by the present misfit administration
 these markets were either circumscribed ! pr denied and the result has been dis
 astrous to our commerce with Europe.
 With 8 continuation of the same policy
 in force we fail to see where a reaIiza-
 tion csn be had of the sspguine out
 look taken by the authority quoted.
 We, of course. hope for the best even if
 ae have to meet the worst, but time
 alone can divulge what there is in store | for us.

lissions extant. and promised the gen.

missions extsnt, and promised the gen. tlemen accompanying him that If they would furnish him with the facts and figures for the complete reproduction of the exterior, ana interior of the church including the frescoes, gliding, and paintings, he would work for a congressional bill for its complete re- storation. Our citizens failed to com ply with Senator Tellers request, and left the senator practically on his own resources. Nothing daunted he got bill through congress appropriating 5000 as starter. and thIs should be used exclusively to restore the outside clustering to prevent further decay from the atmosphere, and in the mean t;me, in justice to ourselves and to our friend Senator Teller we should go to work to make complete estimate for the entire reproduction of the grand old monarch of past age standing out on the desert like a sentinel watching over an imposed trust.
 To reproduce the paintings an old Spanish artist, experiencing every
 little detail of the work should, of necessity be employed. The old San Xavier mission church is a relic of an- t:quity that Tucson. and her citizens may we'll feel proud of, and once restor- ed it will be mecca that will turn foot steps of many a wandering traveller. Strangers to the situation cannot appre ciate what gigantic undertaking this great church was at the inception of its construction. Situated far out on the desert, apparently distant from every possible building material. Surrounded by hostile Apacnes, and ignorant and superstitious natives, this tremendous work was undertaken and energetically pushed forward, until temple of wor- ship reared its high towers against the line of horizon, and exercised humane and kindly influence over the savage and ignorant tribes surrounding it. Senator Teller will visit Arizona again in March for the benefits of our climate. We send him Gall hail."

King was an invalid, says the St. Louis Repu bile, but his friends urged him to take sec ond place on the ticket with Pierce in 1852. Both were elected, but Mir. Kings health failed so rapidly that he was forced to go to Cuba early in 1853, some two and half months before in- auguration day. Not having returned to the United States by March f, con- gress passed a special act authorizing the United States consul at Mantanzas, Cuba, to swear him in as vice president at about the hour when Pierce was talk ing the oath of office at Washington This arrangement was carried out to a dot, and on the day appointed, at a plantc ton on one of the highest hills of Mantanzas, Mir. King was made vice president of the United States amid the solemn "Vaya vol, con DiOs" God will be with you) of the creoles who had as sembled to witness the unique specta- cle. Vice President King returned to his home at Cahawba, Ala, arriving at that place on April F, 1853, and died on the following day. His remains were laid to rest on a plantation known as ..Pine HillSv

The only condition of permission that the heads of the Knights of Pythiss would allow the examination was by initiation of the examiners. This was refused.
