EXEMPTION IN DANGER.
Equalization Board Is Discussing the
 Railroad Laws Legality

The territorial board of equalization had hard nut to crack yesterday. The members sat down in the morning to discuss the matter of the railroads specially exempted by law from taxa tion. The subject is a familiar one with MT Skinner of the board, for he was member of the last legislature that gave the eight years exemption that now covers the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern, the road most especially in question. The question came up in the consideration of a letter, dated June 2, from Wiley E. Jones, district attorney of Graham county, in which the claim was made that the exemp- tion acts of the three last legislatures all were contrary to law and could not be sustained in the courts. The ques- tion was finally referred to Attorney General Wilson.
 Were the claims of the Graham dis trict attorney to be sustained in the courts it would mean the assessment of seventy miles of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern, seven miles of the Maricopa & Phoenix & Salt River Val ley railway and 200 miles of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix. Altogether, the 277 miles affected would, if as

EARLY CLOSING.

The early closing movement on foot by merchants and clerks whereby all stores in the city agree to close at 6 o'clock p. m. every day excepting Sat urday, the agreement to remain in force until November 1 next, is meet ing with the hearty cooperation of every business man in town. The new petition which came out yesterday is headed by D. H. Winters, who it was at first understood would oppose the movement. The swinging of the Bee Hive into line will add no little strength to the petition and is accord ingly a source of much qualification The Alkire Go. is especially active in trying to bring about this new order of things and as there is no firm in Phoenix that would profit more by late closing than Alkire's, any firm that would refuse to go into the compact would be short sighted indeed. It is said that the only opposition en- countered yesterday by the circulators of the petition was the Phoenix Dry Goods company, who as yet have de- clined to go into the movement and it it not likely that their decision is final After long hard days work indoors during the heated term, both employer and employees are certainly entitled to a few hours to themselves while it is cool, and customers are ever ready to accord this privilege. They are also very quick to see to it that any firm that would remain open after business hours gets little patronage during business hours.

Gold standard newspapers are be- ginning to hunt for a soft place to fall. Some are seizing upon the fact that the Cook county, Illinois, free coinage plank said nothing about ratio and pretended to see in that omission a chance to reunite the Democracy. Yet there is no indication that the Chicago Democrats led by Altgeld might not have had 10 to 1 ratio in their minds instead of one greater than 16 to 1 as these newspapers seem to infer they had. Others which have hinted at bolts and coercive measures are now saying that they are all Democrats and the majority should rule.

"The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of a Worlds Fair. This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor therefore, may be assured that his award will have value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave" This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con- vince the most sceptical mind that this wel1-known blood-purifer stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in 1T existence. It has cured others, it will cure you.

EXCURSIONS TO PRESCOTT.

Since the inauguration of the new and unexcelled passenger train service on the S.

Here is an opportunity for Phoenix business men to send their families to Prescott where they will escape the heat in the valley, then visit them every Sunday.
 Prescott climate during the summer IS delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep. Many people rent tents and camp out among the pines, which makes the expense of living very small Desirable camping grounds can be found within radius of one mile from Prescott.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

HOW LONG WILL IT GO ON?

There is scarcely the remotest chance that congress will take any advanced step in regard to the Cuban situation before adjournment. There has been a deal of talk about it by number of prominent senators and others, but the general disposition seems to be to let the war go on through the summer and fall without any interference whatever.
 In the meantime the dread yellow fever has commenced it's work in favor of the struggling Cubans, moving down the Spanish conscripts with more relentless hand than that which carries the machete. And word comes from Spain that 50,000 additional troops will be sent over immediately after the sickly season so as to make short work of the insurrection from that time on.
 From all that can be gathered re- garding the prospects of the Cuban pa triots their chances of ultimate suc- cess, even without encouragement from the United States government, are better than ever before. The Span fsh army is well nigh powerless at the present time, and will remain so for three months to come. The Cubans, however, are about as active as ever They are better armed and equipped than at any previous period of the struggle The well nigh paralyzed condition of their oppressors will make the landing of further munitions of war much less risky, and when opera lions against them shall be renewed they will be found in better condition for resistance than before
 This is the outlook for the Cubans, but how about the Spanish? By the end of the sickly season the chances are that the recruits promised will every one be needed to replace those who will have succumbed to the in fuences of the climate and the mis- erable food and sanitary conditions af- forded the poor wretches So the war will be renewed with not whit better prospects ahead on that side than those of year ago.
 The United States will be held by history to be largely responsible for the sad results of this determined ef- fort to continue the reign of Spanish rule over a long abused people. The destruction of property and appalling loss of life by gun, sword and disease should have been brought to an end long ago. The danger of complications with Spain leading to war in case of any sort of interference has been great ly magn1fed.
