UNIVERSITY WANTS ITS OWN
Board of Regents Suggest a Chang
 in the Land Lease Bill.

Tucson Star: When the board of university regents read in The Star on Wednesday morning that the senate committee on public lands had deter mined not to recommend the passage of the Arizora land lease bill over the presidents veto, but suggested the drafting of another bill whose terms would remove the objections urged by the president to the original one, they held conference and agreed upon a change which will be advantageous to the university
 The same day they telegraphed Del egate Murphy, requesting him to have the bill drawn providing that all pro- ceeds from the leasing of university lands should go to the university i'm stead of to the school fund, as provided in the original bill They also asked for provision prohibiting the cutting of timber on leased lands. Though the last provision is not believed to be necessary it is designed to remove a popular objection raised against the original bill.
 The board yesterday received reply from MT. Murphy in which he said that the changes suggested had been made.
 The university lands comprise sixty two sections, all in the northern part of the territory along the line of the A. & P. railroad.

LITERARY LORDS.
How Sholto Douglas and Coker Will
 Astonish the Natives.

Los Angeles dispatch Ito the San Francisco Examiner: The Lord Doug las-Lord Coker literary syndicate is fiourishing and will soon start out on it's path to fame and wealth through Mexico. All the participants are members of the English nobility and they intend to travel through Arizona and New Mexico and then go into old Mexico. They say they will visit many unexplored portions of the neighboring republic and that they have made arrangements to have the matter they will produce published by San Francisco and New York papers, and one of Harpers publications
 The most prominent member of the party is Lord Sholto Douglas. With him will be Lord Vaux-Coker, who has been for some time a writer on the local press. He is the only man in the city who wears a monocle. Lord Fred erick Willoughby de Clifft and Lord Percy de Capel Burke are the other members of the party. They come from Bakersfield, and where they met learning farming, and where thew met Lord Douglas. They will go more for sport than for literary work. Lady Douglas will remain here. She will not go back on the stage, as the moth CT of Lord Sholto has increased the al lowance of her son, providing he will

TAX ON TITLES

When a tax on 'ftatles' was sug- gested in this country during the re- cent epidemic of marriages of young American heiresses to foreign noble men of more or less consequence, the thought was laughed at, but such a tax may take tangible form in the New York legislature.
 The departure oE the young Ameri- can women accompanied by large for tunes has disturbed the peace of mind of the Honorable Mirablaw l.. Towns of Brooklyn, and he is preparing bill which 1evies a tax on the doWeries of all women marrying foreign noblemen, or having doweries paid out of the revenues of properties held in the En- pire state.
 Qneof Ilne objections to MT. Towns bill is that it establishes class of dis elction and may be for that reason unconstitutional. The exemption of
Arizona republican., 1896-03-15

non-titled foreigners might facilitate the evasion of taxes, but in the whole large revenue ought to be secured.
 In foreign countries, under similar circumstances, a heavy tax would un- doubtedly be levied upon the doweries. In. order ito keep up the gigantic ex- penses of armies and nav;es and royal families taxes of all sorts and descrip- tions must be levied One of the lead ing industries of Italy, that is the beg ging of a,ms, pays considerable rev enue to support the Abyssinian armies.
 The drain upon our country by the marriage of such young women to the foreign titled folk is larger than peo- pie generally suppose, but it is hardly possible that Towns suggestion will meet with approval

The first skirmish between the ad- ministration Democrats and the antis in Georgia resulted in a victory for the latter. The administration faction, ,eG by Hoke Smith favored tw) state conventions, while the other facticn, ], led by the Atlan&d Constitution, fav- pred holding but one. The committee decided by a two to one vote to hald but one convention. Kentucky and Missouri are not the only states in which the gold standard Democrats are having trouble.

LNQUISITIVE EASTERNERS.
Questions Asked by Those Who Ex
 pect to Become Citizens of Arizona.

It has been said that a child can ask more questions in a minute that sage can answer in year. It is something that way with the inquiries that come from abroad regarding the capabili- ties of the Salt River valley The let ters are about all from eastern people intending to here emigrate and every business man sees that they are an- swered, even though he turns them over to the long suffering secretary of the chamber of commerce. Pamphlets and general information are avail able, yet every inquirer seems to have a new and starnge list of questions to spring.
 For instance, one woman wrote to a local business man asking what an acre Of producing alfalfa could be bought for; how many chickens could find susten1nce upon the alfalfa; what increase might be expected for year what the yield would be in eggs and what would the eggs sell for, and much more of the same character, that would have required a very expert in hen oiogy to even approximately answer.
 There are questions of employment, Of climate, of average product and prices till it would seem that the very refinement of human ingenuity had been joined to curiosity to vex the souls of the local citizens who are expected to answer the letters.

The Tucson Citizen sensibly says: "The Phoenix Herald favors an in- structed delegation for Governor Mo Kinley to the Republican convention. We do not believe this should be done. We do believe, however, that good men only should be chosen to represent Ar izona, and that their hands should not be tied to any one man. Such action would be injudicious and detrimental to the best interest of the territory. In saying this we have no wish to weaken the great Ohioan in the affec- tions of Arizonans, but we are decided ly opposed to committing the de.ega- tion Ito his favor. Arizona needs much and she should not by any premature action take chances on losing it. With or without the vote of Arizona no man in the, presidential field has sure call on the nomination. Arizona is a great silver producing country, and it behooves us to tie close and fast to a friend of the white metal and in the absence of such man take the next best one to him. In the struggle of the giants it is possible that Arizona may be in position to help the good cause along, but if she is compromised beforehand and she happens to miss her guess, she is done up."

NONE BUT AYERS AT. THE
 WORLDS FAIR. /,

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 a 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 patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"
