THE women's suffrage bill before the California legislature has been defeated by very small margin, but it's advo- cates are confident of ultimate success. The sooner every state legislature in the country extends to females the right to vote, the better will it be for everybody. With the ballot ip the hands of pure minded women better government is bound to prevail. The next step in tho right direction is the Acknowledgement of that vicious class whose sole aim is to secure five dol- lar bill for their votes. The ignorant element which does not understand the idea of republican form of govern ment should also be disqualified from exercising the rights of citizenship When the privilege of participating in the selection of public officials. based on honest and educational qualihra, tions, is extended to both sexes, the people may hope to secure able and conscientious public fuuctionaries. So long as courts make American citizens out of foreigners who neither under stand the English language nor Amer ican institutions, while enlightened women are denied the same rights, will we have the present imperfect and corr1Ipt adm;nistratjop of govern wSulaj aSairS

IT is pity that the war in the East may not pr ceed until Japan can pos sAss the Chinese Empire. and thus wipe out the most ignorant. venal and cor rdpt dynasty that exists anywhere on the face of the earth. The Chinese Government as it is teddy has no right

MT. Freeman Is in Line.

MT. B. N. Freeman, president of the Arizona Central Bauk, left Flagstaff Saturday evening last for he west. He spent considerable time during the day with Mir. Hamilton at the office of the Durango, Flagstaff & San Diego Railroad Company, discussing the merits of the enterprise, the proba- bilities of success, of which he now feels fairly assured, aud the line of policy by which such result is most likely and speedily to he reached. When first interviewed on the railroad question Mir. Freeman was exceedingly reticent, even shy, but as he studied the subject and familarized himself with all the conditions and resources, and recognized the necessities for the construction of the contemplated road he immediately swung round into line and is now one of its strongest advo- cates and supporters, and will go as far as any man in Arizona to carry 1t to completion. MT. Freeman will visit Denver and Dnrango within the next few weeks, and volunteered the promise before leaving Flagstaff that he would take occasion while in those cities to bring the enterprise to the attention of prominent business men in both places. And beyond that he would exert his influence with his financial friends in Chi cago and in eastern cities. This is another triumph for Mir. Hamilton as well as for the road. because MT Freeman is wheel horse of power when he settles himself down into Il c harness for Il long. persistent. steady pull. Thls is encouraging and looks as though really good progress is being made. and about time for the croakers to dry up. MT. Freeman went even further than this. He volunteered 10 say that if necessary he would go for ward and meet MT. Hamilton in the east and join forces with him and so form strong financial combination that will guarantee success.
 To all this TIE SUN has but one sug- gestion to make, and that is that D. NJ. Riordan shall go forward also. These three, Rior,lan, Hamilton and Free man, would be Il trio of brainy men, men of honor and business qualitica. lions and good presence, and all thor oughly conversant with the country, it's conditions, resources and possibil. ities, and would be able to present the enterprise in it's true light, in such a way as to carry conviction and conyer. sion wherever they may try.
 Mr. F'reemau's letter to Mir. Hamil. ton speaks for itself. So also does Mir. Kimball's, and score of others of sim liar import from different localities all along the line.

CoCoNINo COUNTY should be well represented at the international irriga- tion congress to be held at Albu- quorque next September. The dele gates from the various localities tha, are being successfully worked by means of irrigation will undoubtedly present ideas vastly beneficial to this community when the time comes for redeeming the grand Verde valley and other contiguous lands by artificial waterways. Many eastern capitalists will be present and they should be impressed with the fact that we have land that is worthy of development.

The Ways and Means Guardianship.

The Fifty-fourth Congress will shortly
assemble in Washington. II IS settled
beyond question that ex-Speaker Reed
will be chosen to preside over the House.
The memorable Fifty-hrst Congress prov
ed that he is the man for the place and
by the common consent OF the party the
speakership will go to him, an honor
worthily bestowed.
Pre-eminently important will be the
framing OF the House committees, Most
important among these will be the Com
nittee on WAYS and Means. The abso-
lutte necessity of providing revenues TO
meet the running expenses Of the gov
ernrnent, and the fact that the people,
as Enthusiastically shown by the elections
OF 1894 and 1895, demand that such
revenues shall be only raised by the ap-
plication of the principle OF protection,
will place upon this committee immedl-
ate and responsible duties.
Next TO the speakership the chairman
ship OF the Ways and Means committee
is the most important position IN the
House. It should be filled by man OF
recognized competency, and onein whom
the party has full confidence. Allegheny
county has a representative who poss-
esses these qualifications in the highest
degree. No better man could be chosen
for this place than John Dalzell, repre-
sentative from the Twenty-second dis
trict
With the exception Of H. H. Bingham
and A. c. Harmer, OF Philadelphia
neither of whom have served on the
WAYS and Means committee. Mr.. Dal-
ze1l has had longer continuous service
than any other member Of the Pennsyi-
vania delegation. He has for eight
years represented Allegheny county, the
banner county for protection IN a state
that has never wavered in its adherence
to protection. His district has the great
est iron, steel, glass, tin plate and coai
industries Of the country. No one IS
more familiar with the tariff question
than is he. He knows it III its very de-
tail Serving on the Ways and Means
committee in the past, he understands
its work and duties. In the House he
is ready and powerful in debate. Mr..
Dalzell IS, in every way, the m an for the
place.
There are, in addition to Mr.. Dalzells
qualifications for the
of the Ways and Means
committee, other good and sufficient rea-
sons for his appointment He comes
from a State whose industries are as
great as her Republican majorities are
magnificent. Pennsylvania merits re-
cog1ition at the hands of the Republican
party, and it can be most becomingly
granted when the man she presents IS
one whose ability, experience and fitness
commend him to the positlon.-Pitts-

Surrounded by Death.

A grim story is published in London
taken from private letter from Constan-
tinople. according to which diver, while
recently engaged in assisting in the work
of driving piles for a new pier at the
Golden Horn on reaching the sea bottom
was surprised to find himself surrounded
bv the bodies of number of men appar-
emily standing upright around him.
Upon investigation, the diver discover
ed that trey were the corpses of students,
MANY OF whom were known to him per-
sonailv. who were recently arrested by
the Turkish police and afterwards taken
out in boats and drowned in the Bos-
phorus for taking part in the recent DIS
turbances at Stambul. All the bodies
had leaden weights attached to the feet,
which kept them erect. The diver SAID
there were from forty to fifty bodies IN
that spot alone.

tinople says that the opinion prevails III

WASHINGTON is said to be un usally
quiet, though Congress meets next week.
In the years when new Congress assem-
bles Washington is usually in turmoil
for several weeks before Congress meets,
owing to the campaign for the no1nina-
ton Of Speaker Of the House. This year
there is no Speakership campaign. 1t
was settled when the votes cast at the
Congressional election, last November,
were counted that Hon Thomas b. Reed,
of Maine, should again be Speaker OF the
House. There remains only the minor
Offices Of the House to be determined
upon, and although the friends of the
several gentlemen who are candidates for
each Of those Offices are greatly interest
the gocd-natured contest they are wag-
ing So it is easy to understand why so
few members Of the House are in Wash
ington and why everything is 50 quiet.
Major Mcdowell, the Pennsylvania
candidate for the House Clerkship and
Mr.. Glenn, the New York candidate for
Doorkeepcr, have opened headquarters
in the same hotel and are understood to
be working together. Ex-Representative
Wade, OF Missouri, may be candidate
either for Doorkeeper or for Postmaster;
Ohio is said to have candidate, not yet
named, for Postmaster, and Captain Sher-
wood, Of Michigan, ex-Pcstmaster Of the
House and Of Washington, is also can
didatc for the same place. Ex-Repre-
sentative Henderson, of Illinois, is can
didate for the Clerkship Of the House,
and he is said to have declined entering
a combination az a candidate for Ser
geant alarms, position for which Mr..
Russell, the present Speaker OF the Mis-
souri House Of Representatives, is can
didate. There are half dozen candidates
for Chaplain of the House, but the friends
Of Rev. II. d. Fisher, Of Kansas, says he
is certain to get it.

gIG CUBAN VICTORY.

A messenger who arrived Monday,
at thcCuban headquarters in New York
from Cuba by way of Tampa, Fla, brings
news Of a fight Novemberr9 at Paguasco.
The engagement IS said to have been OF
even more importance than the one at
Bayamo some months ago, III which Gen.
Campos was nearly captured.
The Spanish force, which numbered al
most 10000 men, was led by General
Valdez, Luquc and Aldove. The Cubans
under General Gomez, abont a, 900 strong
held advantageous position at the foot OF
the hill. The fight lasted So hours, ac-
cording to the story, but the Spanish
troops were unable to dislodgc the
Cubans.
General Antonio Maceo, who was in
the vicinity, came mp at this point, the
messenger says, with $500 men, and
after fierce conflict the Spaniards were
routed. The Cubans then advanced 20.
