THE MEETING OF CONGRESS.

Two weeks from Monday congress meets. It will be short session, about week shorter than usual, cov- ering less than three months, with the usual holiday recess taken out of that. Moreover, there are good many re- tiring members of each house who will not return again and therefore naturally feel less interest in the work of the session.
 These conditions are hostile to the accomplishment of much valuable bus mess. They strengthen the usual ten dency of the short session Of congress toward useless or ineffective legisla- tion, or worse,. But the condition in which the country finds itself today should inspire this congress in it's ex- piring hours to rise to the demands ot the occasion and perform the duty which lies before it.
 The country is just arousing iron the lethargy of industrial depression Confidence has been restored in grea measure by the pledge of sound money 1 which the late election has given, ant trade is rapidly reviving. These flaw orable conditions can be continued ant strengthened if congress will aver the distraction of special session nex spring by passing revenue bill thi
 winter. This is all that needs to b.
 done; and if it is done at the sessiol
 which opens two weeks from Monda,
 the Fifty-fourth congress will hay
 at least one useful act to place upol it's otherwise barren record.

COPPER GOING UP.

Are you watching for signs of inn provement in the mining world? Look at copper. Since the election the price of that metal has advanced fully 15 per cent. Fen per cent of this ad- vance was recorded inside of twelve hours after it-became known that Nc Kinley was elected. It is immaterial whether Republican success caused this unexpected hardening of the price of the metal. It is enough for us to know that just at present the copper proposition is very attractive. The fact is of great moment to Arizona. Some of the finest copper mines in the country are to be found in this terri tory. It goes without saying that the advance in price will have a most ben eficial effect. The indications are that the demand will increase steadily
 New uses have been found for copper It has been found to be valuable component of armor plate. Under the stimulus of the increased price and demand the owners of copper proper
 ties will be spurred to activity, and money will become more plentiful.
 We have already referred to the signs of improvement in general min ing. The chances are that before the
 beginning of the new year the mining industry in Arizona will have revived
 to such an extent that even the presen
 croakers will have to admit that thu
 country is on the up grade at last.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The most liberal provision should be made for the entertainment of the del egates to the irrigation congress and the other distinguished men who will be here to take part in it's proceed
 ings. The local committee is about to ask the business men of the city for financial aid to the end that a com prehensive plan of entertainment may be carried out without annoying breaks The response should be hearty. There is a general feeling that the future of this valley has a direct relation to the work of the ir- rfgation congress- In the four years that have elapsed since the congress was instituted the cause of irrigation has made marked progress. In nearly every state of the Union the problem has become the subject of serious dis cussion. The Salt River valley is the seat of the most extensive irrigation enterprises in the country. Here is the ideal place for the study of the all absorbing question. There is lit tie doubt that the attendance at this years session of the congress will be greater than that of any previous year The fame of the Salt River valley has extended far and many people will take advantage of the low railroad rates to visit Phoenix. It is essential that they should carry away witf them pleasant recollections of the valley It is far more important that the object lesson in practical irriga
 tion afforded here should be clearl! set forth. Considerable money vii
 be required to enable the local com
 mittee to make this lesson thorough! impressive The citizens of this towl should see that the work of the com
 mittee is made as easy as possible.

NORMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE.

There has been no more ridiculous claim put forward in connection with the settlement of the Venezuelan mat ter than that of the London Chronicle, that the peaceable settlement is due to that papers influence. The Chronicle, it may be remembered, sent MT. Henry Norman to this country soon after MT Cleveland's Venezuelan message was made public Here is specimen of it's braggadocia in relation to Nor mans efforts:
 "To send a special commissioner at such crisis to Washington was a step so unprecedented as to approach au- dacity. It was not merely a difficult and costly, but dangerous, enterprise Yet, in the high interests of the peace of these nations, we ventured it, and it was absolutely successful"
 The inference conveyed inAthis para graph is that war actually existed and that the people in Washington were enjoying themselves by hanging to lamp posts every man who resembled an Englishman either in speech or dress. AS a matter of fact The Chron- 1cle's commissioner reached Washing ton and wrote his letters before his identity was discovered. Even then however, he was in no personal danger He was quoted, to be sure, but no one stopped to look at him on the street and no one attempted to say him nay so long as he paid his board bill and behaved himself in public The Lon don Mail, which evidently employs some writer with a keen American ap preciation of humor, has this to say of The Chronicles boast:
 ''It was the period when the Monroe doctrine was running rampant along the shores of Columbia, and the Amer ican eagle was sitting on the statue of liberty at the entrance of New YOrl harbor, shrieking for the blood of tht English tyrantS. Into the hauntS O these ravenous beasts our contempo

We are gratified with the assurances received in the last ten days of satis- faction with the statement made in these columns, that the incoming ad- ministration will be asked to appoint to office in Arizona men only who gave undivided support to the St. Louis platform in the recent campaign. Some of the men who are aspiring to places were not conspicuous by their devo- tion to the sound money plank in that platform. We have reason to believe that when Mir. Mckinley sets himself to the task of filling the territorial offices he will not be disposed to favor men who attempted to carry water on both shoulders. There are plenty of Republicans in Arizona who were con spicuous in their devotion to the prin- eiples followed so closely by MT. Me Kinley, and who worked with the greatest zeal for the election of the candidates who stood for sound money. The offices should go to me1 of this class. It would be decidedly unfair to pass them over and bestoN the fruits of victory upon men whC Shirked the great issue. MT McKin- ley will be well posted as to the sit uation in Arizona when he takes LII the question of appointments.

Last week the wheat exports reached the high figure of four million bush els and over. It was the first time such quantity of the grain had left this country in a seven-day period since 1893. Wheat prices may bounce up or down, but the fact that such an immense mass of the cereal as that has left our shores recently tells pret- ty clearly what the tendency of the market is.

A bicyclist in New York rode be- tween the rails of the cable cars. A gong was sounded, and the first thing he knew he was knocked down and injured. He sued. the company and the defense set up was contributory negligence he ought to have looked back. The court has ruled that there was no contrihutory negligence that it's the duty of the bicyclist to look ahead. and that the highway doesn't belong to the railroad.

MT. E. L. GOdkin tells the New York schoolmasters that the Chimmie Fad den vernacuIar is making altogether too great havoc in the language of the day. He depIores it, but he allows that it is catching and frequently i'm pressive. He mentions the fact that there are lawyers who purposely use bad grammar and bad rhetoric for their greater effect on juries.

It is estimated that the horse show in New York occasioned the expendi- ture of not less than $1RS2, 900. That is an enormous sum for these hard times, and it is doubtful if those who spent it got their moneys worth. But putting it into circulation made it all do somebody some good.

peculiarly beneficial to those sec
tions of our country. Such outlets
would enlarge the markets for the
manufacturing which must surely
arise in those localities. Again, the
State bordering on the Gulf of Mex
leo would lie nearest and most ac-
cessible to this market. and through
the building of cotton mills, the de-
velopment of iron mines, the con-
struction of iron furnaces, and the
extension of Industries, which are
now taking place in the new South,
they would be furnished with n
more accessible market than could
be found in any other quarter. Be.
sides it would encourage ship. build

yards in Mobile, New Orleans and
Galveston. Neither the West nor
the South could expect to find a
market for their manufactures in
Europe. 1t seems as If this bill was
especially designed to benefit those
sections of the United States. 1t is a
most astonishing fact that the rep.
resentatives from the Western and
Southern States should have been 50
blinded to the future commercial
welfare of their constituents as they
were when they joined hands with
Mr.. Cleveland and his free trade as
sociates and wiped this law from the
statute book. The repeal of this
law was certainly an injury to the
trade of the United States from
gaining foothold IN the South and
Central America would certainly
confer great favor on Great Brit
ain. During the last twenty years
England has been suffering severely
from competition III China, japan
and India. Russia and nearly all
continental Europe are not only
closing their ports against English
goods, but are building up indus
trial systems through which they
are becoming her rivals. Southern
and Central America during the past
twenty years have been fruitful
field for her commercial transac-
tions. Great Britain is guarding
this trade by all the means at her
disposal. To step in and divide this
trade with her and Europe would
greatly benefit American commerce.
If the advocates of free trade were
really solicitous of the welfare of
the United States and desirous of
extending our markets in foreign
countries, instead of destroying the
reciprocity treaties, they should
have upheld them.
