RELATIVE SIZES.

THE two Americas are, combined, al
most the area of Asia.

is not improved and cannot be under the
present Democratic government.
The expenses are running ahead OF
the receipts at the rate of sc, 900 900 to
SIS, 000,000 a month, which means the
issuance OF more bonds and constant
increase OF the government debt.
The restoration OF pensions thrown
ont by the interior department against
which adverse rulings have been made
the supreme court of the United States
will increase the outlay by $50 900 900.
And there is the income tax test case
now before the supreme court. Ii that
is decided against the government, as it
probably will be, there will be loss
of revenue amounting to $50 ,000, 000
Altogether our Democratic friends have
succeeded in only one thiug-provlng
conclusively that they are not equal to
the situation.
Only one thing can probably save
the Democratic party against the next
presidential election and that is war,
say with Spain. which would result in
the annexation of Cuba. But that
wouldn't save it. | can't think of any
war glorious enought to popularize the
administration in the face of its series
of awful blunders."

AN EASTERN VIEW.
Return Of MIR. Franklin Hall
From Philadelphia.
He Speaks of Republican Majorities
and the Prospects of Returning
Prosperity.

Mr.. Franklin Hall arrived in the city
from Philadelphia on Sunday morning
after an absence of eight months. He
was not accom- panied by Mrs. Hall and
his daughter who will spend the spring
months at Old Point Comfort, Va. Mr..
Halls visit is one OF mingled business
and recreation.
Some time before the election last
fall Mr.. Hall wrote the REPUBLICAN
that the Republican majority in
Pennsylvania would be 100000 He was
reminded of this yesterday and said:
1--WE had a very light vote go the
majority was only $50 900 At the next
election it will BE- $4,000 and at the
next we will make it unanimous Re-
publican."
Concerning the outlook in the east
Mr.. Hall said: There appears to be
slight change for the better, due I
think solely to the change of season, for
the financial condition of the country

The HIGH SCHOOL.
The Proposed Consolidation Of
Eight Districts.
Ii 1t Succeeds the High School Dis
trict win Have a Radius
of Five Miles.

The project for the formation OF q
high school district under the new law
is meeting with greater favor than the
most sanguine expected, not that it had
been anticipated at all that the project
might fail. 1t would have really no
opposition in the Phoenix district, but
the broader proposition to consolidate
che adjoining district and thus create
sufficient funds foT high school second
10 none in existence was at first
preached with some misgiving.
The nitIatory step under the law is
to obtain the signatures of two thirds OF
the trustees in each of the proposed
districts OF the high schools districts.
Superintendent Wollam, has made q
canvass ef six of the seven districts
adjoining Phoenix. They are No. Or
Wilson's district southeast of the city !;
40. IA or Creighton's north of the
asylum: No. or Usb ,rn's, north of the
cay; No. 80 or Grand avenue; No. q,
Alham bra: No. 5, Isaacs. The remain
ing No. 2 or Mesquite, lying west of
the civ on the lower Yuma road, has
not been canvassed. The only opposi-
is in the Osborn district and it is not
very strenuous. The consolidation OF
these districts will consti ute high
school district with radius of FIVE
miles.
The election at which the high
school question will he voted on will be
held on April 20. just how the people
in all these districts will receive the
proposition cannot be known until the
votes are counted, but the weight of ex-
preston so far made is heavily in favor
Of the high school.
Many farmers have already moved to
the city within the past three years to
give their children the superior ad-
vantages afforded by the city schools
over the local schools, and others are
con templating such removal if they can
be assured that these superior facilities
are real and will continue or be in
creased. Every farmer who has chill
dren expects at some time to place be-
fore them the best educational oppor-
tunity within his means. Others take
q financial view of it and realize that
acres are worth more per acre in COM
munity blessed by first class school.
So sure are the friends of the high
school of favorable vote that they
have already begun to consider the de-
tails OF it.. Whether it is made up in
Phoenix district alone or with the aid
of surrounding districts it is already
clear that there must be another school
house, or tha present facilities are all
employed. In the former event another
ward building would have to be erected.
In 10 q no ht1I
ing would pro ba bly, be used exclusively
for lower grade purposes and au exclu-
sive nigh school building would be
erected.
A great deal of credit is given Super
inten lent WoIlam for his activity in
the matter. He will not teach again
and has no other interest init than any
good citizen ought to have.

What Allied Him.

A young sunday-school teacher in
~ of the Philadelphia churches has
successfully cultivated the acquaint-
nnce of the little ragamuffins Of the
district and has organized a class of
seven bright but untutored boys. One
Sunday he secured an addition and
mentioned to the class that an eighth
member would be present the next Sun
day. The boys protested earnestly that
they didn't want a new boy, but the
teacher was in1lexible. Then, one after
another, the boys remarked: ".He can't
sit side Nv me-" and the teacher added:
"Well, he can sit by me-" This settled
the dispute until after Sunday school
was over and one little fellow lin
gered to catch the teachers eye. Put
ting his mouth close to her ear, he
whispered: you'll soon get tired of
him. He's got fleas."
