The salaries received by Russian dipIo-
mats representing the great northern en-
pire at foreign courts are not on nearly so
large scale as those enjoyed by her Brit
annie majesty's representa- ives abroad, al
though they compare favorably with the
rate of remuneration paid to the ENJOYS
of certain other European powers. The
Russian ambassadors at Berlin, Vienna,
Constantinople London and Paris receive
each 5000 ruhles per annum, while their
colleague at the court OF King Humbert has
to be satisfied with the lesser sum of 40 900
rubles. The Russian ministers at Wash
ington. Toxic Madrid and Pekn are each
paid $1,000 rubles a year; the post at Te-
heran is worth 25,OOO rubles. and those at
Athens, Brussels, The Hague. Copenhagen.
Mexico. Munich and Stockholm 10000 ru-
bles each. The Russian ministers resident
at Bucharest, Belgrade. Lisbon, Rio de ia

QUESTION OF ROADS,


 Good roads are the best investment that can be made by the country. They bring it nearer to the markets, where it's products are sold.
 If we had good roads leading in every direction from Phoenix, the value of the farms of Maricopa county would be vastly increased, for the farmers could bring twice as much to town and carry twice as much back at load, or they could come and return in half the time.
 With good roads land ten miles from Phoenix would be as valuable as that five miles distant is now, for distance is matter of no importance. It is the time and effort necessary to cover the distance that is important.
 Roads that would make it possible to haul twice as much as can be hauled now would quadruple the area around this city from which products could reach the market in a given time, or with given amount of effort, for the area of circle is four times that of an. other with half its radius.

debarred from proceeding in that man. ner to bring about the reclamation of their arid lands.
 Laymen as a rule may not be able to follow the fine distinctions upon which this decision rests. The question IS, What constitutes a public use? It will readily be seen that there is marked diffe, ence between the purposes for which property is ordinarily taken or taxed for the benefit of the public and the plan of obliging a person to inn prove his property internally or con- tribute toward the internal improve ment of the property of others.
 Judge Ross, who is one of our ablest judges, has decided that the purposes of the Wright law do not come under the generally accepted definition of public uses, and until that decision shall have been affirmed or set aside those who are interested in the creation of irrigation ditches under a similar law will have their hands tied. Capital. ists will not take district bonds in the face of such a decision, and the effect will be to suspend operations in many states until the whole subject shall have beer EaaIiy disposed of by the courts of last resort.
 This state Of affairs ought to turn capital in the direction of Arizona. The laws of this territory affecting irri- gation are very favorable to the in- vestor, ln fact more so than in any other state or territory in the Nation. Investments can be made here in large or small amounts with the perfect as- surance that not only is the principal safe, but that the interest will also be promptly paid.

And now while enjoying himself at a Ger man watering place what does the lucky colonel do bat find one of his old time Nevada bonanza friends, several times a millionaire, without relatives and dying; and what does the friend do but make 8 will in Colonel Fitch's favor and then peacefully pass away!
 Colonel Fitch will return 10 Arizona shortly from his vacation and will make very extensive investments in Phoenix, where he expects to end his days, which THE REPUBLICAN hopes may be many. We congratulate both Colonel Fitch and Arizona.

PHGNIX. AUGUST 2, 1895.
SHOULD LOOK TO ARIZONA.

The decision lately rendered by Judge Ross Of California, affecting what is generally known as the Wright law" continues to be discussed by the news- papers and people of the irrigation states.
 Ii the decision announced by Judge Ross respecting the Wright law is to stand, it will do away with all legisla- tion in other states modelled after that act. The Idaho law passed at the last session of the legislature contains a provision that is substantially the same as that which Judge Ross decides to be unconstitutional. This is the bonding provision. The bonding of district is decided upon by vote of the district and renders all property in the district liable. In effect, Judge Ross holds that mans neighbors cannot vote 8 mortgage upon his property for such purposes as the act contemplates. These purposes, he holds, are not of a public character, in the sense in which private property may be taken for pub. lie purposes. Therefore, the law is held to be unconstitutional; and if the decision be affirmed all states will be

GA. R. Cheap Railroad Excursion.
 The wisdom of the national commit tee in selecting city so centrally To-. cated, easy ot access, as Louisville, Ky, for the tWenty-ninth annual encamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, September 11th to 14th, is fully justified, judging from the numerous inquiries received from all parts of the country relative to transportation facili. ties, passenger rates. limits of tickets, etc.
 In anticipation of very large atten. dance, the Baltimore & Ohio South western railway (formerly the o. & M. R'y), the leading route to Louisville from the west, north and east, has made preparations to afford visitors every facility, both in the way of low rates and fast trains, handsomely and comfortably equipped. from all it's ter minal points. Three daily trains St. Louis to Louisville; two trains daily (except Sunday Beardstown and Springfield to Louisville; three daily trains Cincinnati to Louisville; two daily trains Parkersburg to Louisville. Rate via B. & 0. S-W By will not ex- ceed one cent per mile. Tickets will be on sale September Sth to 11th, in- elusive, good returning until October 9th, 1895.
 One of the principal events following the close of the encampment will be the dedication of the Chickamauga Nation al Military Park, Chattanooga, Tenn, to which excursion rate from Louis vile, Ky. will not be higher than one cent per mile. In addition there will be cheap excursions run from Louis. vile to the various battlefelds in the vicinity. The citizens of Louisville are a unit in their expression of according to their guests royal eutertainme nj during the encampment.
 Any further particulars desired will be cheerfully furnished on application to A. C.. Goodrich, passenger agent oi the B. & o. S-W. Ry., Kansas City Mo, or to J. M. Chesbrough, general passenger agent, St. Louis Mo.
