No FREIGHT rate has been announced
yet by the north and south road and
none will probably be made until the
road is completed to Phoenix. But local
merchants are already enjoying well
defined advantages of railroad compe-
tition. One merchant has already
purchased large consignment of mer-
chandise from Los Angeles to be laid
down in Phoenix via. the Santa Fe.
The price is based on rate from Los
Angeles 10 Phoenix equal to the present
Southern Pacific rate from Los Angeles
to Maricopa. Though the rate is made
by the seller and not by the railroad
company the seller may be presumed to
know what he is doing.

BISHOP POTTER is sensible man. He
does not sympathize with the notion OF
certain religionists that the liquor traf-
fic can be checked by mere attempts at
impressions. The most effectual rivals
to the low groggeries that work so
much injury among the poor, he thinks
would be decent, cheap restaurants,
with unexceptionable surroundings.
No doubt beer would have to be sold by
them in order to attract and keep the
trade, and this is one reason why all
the enthusiasts for prohibition frown
upon practical attempts OF the sort to
regenerate the lower classes.

A WOMAN was committed by the pro.
bate court yesterday to the insane
asylum. The commitment was neces-
sary to save little child from lifelong
degradation. The examination did not
disclose startling mental wreck. Her
unsoundness of mind was purely con-
structive. 1t did show, though, a
moral obliquity which perhaps could
be ascribed only to hidden insanity.
A point may have been strained in
committing the woman. But the end
was worthy and the means employed
reflect credit upon the gentlemen who
made use of them.

Finley's quickness to seize tail hold
on passing situation.
1t happened that the persons who
most ardently opposed the woman
suffrage measure are coincidenta1ly the
same persons who are clamoring for the
suppression of the female saloon singer.
Accordingly Mr.. Finley picked up the
stuffed club, ''the refining influence of
woman" thrown aside when the
other fight was over and welded
it with devastating effect. In his
opinion there was no institutio
this eide of hades which could stand
refining influence in heavier or more
frequent doses than the saloons. Would
the gentlemen in their wild career of
reform knock out the last prop of the
saloons and permit them to sink down
in to the lowest depths of degradation
Mr.. Finley may have been joking
grimly, for there are some things which
even women cannot reform. Many
people believe that saloons are beyond
their reach and others believe that
politics and the polls are pretty far
gone

THE COMMITTEE Of Pennsylvania
lect the best of lot of samples of but
ter submitted for prize must have
been slightly annoyed when they were
informed after their award that the
sample they had selected was some arti-
ficially colored oleomargarine. Never
theless, neither they nor others will
probably cease to maintain that oleo is
highly undesirable commodity, the
sale of which ought to be punished by

ONLY twenty-five years ago, as the
New York Times shows by referring
to its files, a winter passage lasting a
fortnight was quite an ordinary per-
Torrance even for the "crack" ocean
liners of the day. And today many
moderately fast ships take only little
less time in crossing when they have
heavy gales to contend against. These
facts should be borne in mind by nerv-
Gus persons when another racer fails
to arrive on schedule time.

PHOENIX. FEBRUARY FL. 1895.
A BORROWED CLUB.

Representative James Finley of Pima
county, is of a logical turn OF mind and
the possessor of a retentive memory.
Mr.. Finley was among the most cordial
opponents of the woman suffrage bill
when it was before the assembly.
Among the weapons used by the advo-
Gates of the measure, and thrown down
when the fight was over was the argu-
ment that the presence of women at
the polls would be refining influence.
Yesterday another bill in which
which women figure was before the
assembly. 1t was a measure to prevent
women frequenting saloons or being
employed in places where alcoholic
drinks are sold. II was aimed more
particularly at that institution of the
Pacific coast, the prima donna of the
western saloon whose generally
wretched warbling passes without
criticism by the male frequenters who
are not apt to be hypercr1tical. The
prima donna is usually we'll paid and
the tvmpanum of the auditor dulled
along with his other senses by frequent
observation OF the ceiling though the
bottom of an inverted glass is not parti-
cularly outraged. Only those suffer
whose acute moral or musical sense is
assaulted as they pass in front of the sa-
loon where the din is in progress.
There are usually two sides to
street and it seldom happens that there
are singing saloons on each side.
In the event however of such coinci-
dence there are usually parallel streets
not so infested and to which DIRECTORS
to the singing have access. But this
may be construed to be an argument in
favor OF the continuance Of the prima
donna, which is not intended; besides
the Immediately foregoing remarks are
irrelevant and have nothing to do with
the original purpose to describe Mr..

WHILE SOME Of the reports of suffer
ing IN the Northwest have been ex-
aggerated, there can be no doubt of the
discomforts with which many of the
inhabitants of Nebraska have had to
put up during the last few weeks.
Trustworthy reports declare that the
suffering in that state is still consider
able, and that outside help is still de.
sirable. 1t is to be hoped that the
advent of milder weather will alleviate
the condition of these much burdened
people.
