For the first time in years,
perhaps in the history of the

chant steamships rave been
in port at one time. and to
accommodate these five
steamers there were but two
WharveS. Evidently COM

ing apace. There can be no
doubt of it, with a rapidly
neutrality-suspicious. of Asia
tic students and merchants
there is no reason why the
demand for merchandise Of
one sort or other should not
increase, and as there are no
manufactures here, the pro-
ducts of other countries must
be brought in ships.
We find it the best means,
as the trans-Paciflc train SER
vice is irregular. We get a
lot of freight by these steam
ers, valuable goods sold at
prices which defy compe-
tition. Just now we want
to call your attention to Ser
ges and TWeeds, in blue or
black and light or medium
weight. These are for men.
We have Serges in the

the Geary-street ears and Gripman
FullalOve's that when Campbell board
ed his car a shorter and q thicker-set
man was standing at the curbstone
with him and told him that was the
car to take.
The defendant, Black claimed, was all
the time acting as a man would who
was trying to build up an alibi in ad-
vance. But the proof the defendant
had introduced of his whereabouts was
entirely consistent with Campbell's
statements of the times when Winthrop
was at the cottage.
Of the effort made by the defense TO
discrelit Urquhart Black said there
could not be record produced TO show
that he had ever been convicted of a
felony.
Winthrop remark to Cody when the
latter discovered on him the clippings
from the papers about the case, that
the jig's up, Cody; you're right" Black
held, was the remark of a guilty man
fully cornered.
In closing Black urged that whatever
the feelings of pity or sympathy the
jurors might have as men for the wife
and children, upon whom the blow
would fall heaviest, they could not let
that Interfere with the discharge OF
their duty if the evidence convinced
them of the defendants guilt.
| Judge Wallace's charge to the jury
was conceded to be eminently fair tC
| the defendant, even by his attorneys
1t stated the propositions of law gov
erning the questions of the presump

and moral certainty. OF the facts them

The jurors retired at 1875 O'Clock
| Five minutes latter they returned wit
I their verdict. The penalty for robber
; is a term in the penitentiary of froI
one year to life. The almost universe

among those who have followed tn

sentence or a term SO long as to b
equivalent to a life term.

1t Finds Striking Counterpart In Re-
cent World Triumphs.
Napoleon knew well the value of a
victory After Austerlitz the world
seemed his. Fame invited, fortune ia
vored, everything stimulated his as
piring ambition. With growing power
he gathered the fruits of victory. And
so has it ever been. Success succeeds.
A notable illustration of this truth is
furnished by the great victories won
at the Worlds Fair in '93 and the Cali
fornia Midwinter Fair in "a by DR..
Prices Cream Baking Powder. Ever
increasing sales and popularity have
been the result. The people have
promptly ratified the official verdicts
that declared DR.. Prices, for leavening
power, keeping qualities, purity and
general excellence the foremost bak-
ing powder in all the world" Quite
as quickly as the great Emperor do
they know the value of a victory that
means worldwide supremacy.

MAN AND MONEY GONE.

A few weeks ago the good people of Phoenix were shocked by the announce ment that E. B. Kirkland, late deputy clerk of the board of supervisors of Maricopa county, was a defaulter to the county for more than S700, which he had acquired by raising county warrants and other dishonest methods, and blown in at the gambling table. Kirkland having acknowledged his guilt, his friends came to his rescue by rendering the amount of the deficit, which was accepted, and Kirkland's offense condoned. Kirkland quietly departed for pastures new, some say to South Africa, while others say that he is at the Luke mine in Yavapai county. Last week Clerk Sheridan, who had been checking up Kirkland's accounts, discovered other discrepan- cies. A warrant for $80, to pay the stenograper's fees in the Tewksbury trial, had been raised to $160, and sums aggregating $400 or more had been collected by Kirkland in excess of the fees justly due him. Now that Kirkland has flown, indignant citizens express an intention of presenting the matter to the next Territorial grand jury. It is not long since the board of supervisors were accused of mis- appropriating some $2O,000 of county funds, and it is not surprising, in view of the very loose administration of county affairs in Maricopa county, that the clerk of direlict board should have got his finger in the pie.

Contraction of Currency.

The estimate of money circulating in the United States March ], prepared by the treasury, is the first authorita- tive statement of the bond issue s actual results on the nations currency. This bulletin shows that the supply of gold coin and certificates in use out side the treasury has decreased during February S60, ,0S3,9 1925, and the net supply of government notes s5, 533, ,902, while bank circulation has increased 5, ,464, 4S2; SD that, including all other changes, the months net decrease in outside circulation has been S60. .97s, . 5a0. This estimate, it will be observed, is entirely independent of gold imports, which went directly into the treasury
 It leaves, moreover, upwards of $40, ,000. 900 circulating currency still due on bond subscriptions, nearly one half of which is deposited in banks, subject to call from the treasury. Now, the very essential conclusion from these figures, compared with other dates, is that the money supply in out side circulation has been reduced, since 1894, some Sl30, o,000, with an ultimate total contraction in view of Sl70, ,000, 900, or nearly Il per cent The actual present circulation is the smallest since midsummer, 1891. .-En- gineering and Mining Journal.

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE.

In the West, greater interest will attach to the Democratic national con vention than to the Republican. It is generally admitted that the silver cause has nothing to hope for from the Republican convention, while from present indications the silver delegates from the South and West to the Chicago convention will be sufficiently numerous to make an interesting fight. Representative Livingston, of Georgia, believes that the convention will adopt free silver platform and nominate a candidate who will favor silver. He declares that silver will have majority in the convention, with which the two thirds rule can be repealed and n silver candidate nominated.
 The only difficulty to be apprehended in carrying out Mir. Livingston's pro- gramme is the question of numbers. It is by no means assured which fac I'tion will be in the majority in the convention. If, perchance, the gold men should control, the repeal of the two-thirds rule would operate wholly in their favor, and greatly assist the nomination of the administration can didate.
 The two-thirds rule has played an important part in the selection of Democratic nominees, and has blasted the hopes of several prominent can didates who otherwise might have reached the goal of their ambition-the White House The rule requiring q two-thirds vote to nominate was adopted in the Baltimore convention of lS44, and admirably fulfilled the expecta- tions of its authors by defeating Mar tin Van Buren, who received majority of votes on the first ballot, but was finally defeated by James K. Polk, who, prior to the convention, had not been thought of as a candidate for the Presidency.
 The two-thirds rule has served no other purpose than to defeat the will of Democratic voters, and should be repealed, no matter how it may affect the fortunes of the opposing gold and silver forces in the coming convention.

Commissioner Kinney warrants were isSaed for tho arrest of twenty of the offenders, in addition to the two Indians indicted by the Gila county grand jury, and although Deputy United States Marshal J. H. Thompson demanded of Agent Meyer and Sub- Agent Rivers the surrender of those Indians more than three months ago, no effort has been made by the res ervation authorities to arrest them. Since the conflict at Cibicu creek, the Indians have openly threatened the lives of settlers, and some of the people of Pleasant valley have prudently fortified against a probable attack, while others have been forced to abandon their ranches and seek a locality where they are safe from incursions of the Apaches.
 Under the operation of such law, civil officer in pursuit of a criminal who sought the reservation, would be compelled to abandon the chase at the reservation line, and proceed to the agency, no matter how great the distance, to obtain from the agent permission to continue the pursuit. The idea is monstrous, and, on behalf of the law-abiding citizens of Arizona, we protest against this proposed per version of justice.

jections to the present methods of electing United States Senators, one of the strongest, as pointed out by the Senate committee, is that in the cleo tion of members of legislature, when such legislature is to select a United States Senator, every consideration is lost sight of except the solitary one of how legislative candidates, if elected, will vote on the Senatorship. There is nothing that would so greatly tend to restore the waning popularity and usefulness of the Senate ns to give voters direct voice in the election of members
