few prominent republicans present. and

did. No one would make a statement
The republicans kept UP their appearance
Of confidence until the early returns
showed the gains for VanWyck, and then
collapsed entirely. 1t is impossible to
headquarters. If anything. the depres-
sion was more apparent than at the
George headquarters. At 8 o'clock there
were only one or two republicans about.
General Tracey did not appear at the
headquarters at all.
Hon. Seth Low received the returns at
his home in East Sixty-fourth street. The
Associated Press called him by telephone
at his hous" OF 9:15 o'clock and asked

suit. He said: Il have nothing to say;
positively nothing to say at present"

1T is the common ground upon which
the Industrial and social forces of reform

'The philosophy or law of the eight-hour

come wage slaves, because they are COM
PEELED to sell their labor on time. The
withholding of time from the market of
labor increases the value of each hour
sold: distributes the hours of work to those
without work; increases the wages or pur-
chasing power of the days work, through
the natural laws that govern the distribu-

toll furnish the opportunity for leisure:
enhance the value of the man educated

Mr.. F0raker's Pooling Plan.

The pooling bill introduced in the
Senate by Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, is in
tended to meet the objections to pool
ing which were raised by the Supreme
Court in its decision of the Transmits
souri, Freight Association case. To the
Interstate Commerce Commission it
gives control over all pooling arrange
ments, that body being required to dis
approve them when convinced that
they would result in unreasonable rates
unsust discrimination Or insufficient
service to the public 1t Is obligatory
on the Commission to investigate the
operation of any agreements that may
be made, and nullify them if they deem
such action expedient, the railroads, of
course, having the subsequent right of
appeal to the courts. The right to ap-
prove or disapprove means that the
roads can take no step in the division
of their business and the regulation of
their rates without the sanction of the
Commission, that bcdy being given con-
troll over joint traffic or pooling SINH
lar to that it now exercises over ar
rangements between the individual
lines and their patrons In other words,
the combinations may make arrange
ments for exchange of business as the
individual roads now do, but it will be
question what rates the Commission
will sanction.
! Mr.. Foraker's bill is largely dupli-
cate of that introduced in the last Con-
gress by Mr.. Patterson. That there is
considerable public sentiment behind
it we need not say. We do not believe
that the people of the country desire
to see the railroads bankrupted by the
numerous repressive measures that
have been brought to bear against them,
and if it be possible that they can pros
[ per under a system of legalized COM
blnation, sub ubject to the scrutiny of the
Government, we think they should be
allowed to combine as the Foraker bill
would allow them to do Tt is note
worthy in this relation that the more
influential newspapers in all parts of
the country are expressing vigorous
dissent from the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Trans-Missourl
case. It is une ching to check tie r IL
roads. 1t is quite another to drive
them oat of business.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Expert mining men and some pros
pectors have said that gold in paying
quantities could not exist in the Short
Horn mountains because the forma-
ton was not rable; many were so
prejudiced that they would not locate
ground that showed free gold. 1t re-
NAMED, therefore, 9or Mr.. Etchenberg
to discover the rich gold mine the King
Of Arizona, confirming the statement
Of Solomon that "gold is where you
find it."
This discovery was no doubt due to
the keen eyesight of Mr.. Etchenberg.
He saw the gold in tho rock and was
50 excited that he did not discover that
it was not a quartz rock, but just com
mon rock that may be found any place.

When is a Woman 0lds

This querry on my mirror hung;
When is a woman old ?"
1t clings to me and long has clung,
The answer must be told.
All, some ar old before half way,
4 nd some are never old,
FoI these but laugh Hfe's cares away,
While those both fret and scold.
And yet it is no easy task,
However well controlled,
To answer one, if she would ask,
When is woman old? ?"
TIE graceful ones are still young,
And those alone are old
Who try to make themselves look young
When age has taken hold,
The oldest ones of all the old
Are those who would look young,
For they will always fret and scold
When ages sign is hung,
Abe old in years who live among
Those younger in their hearts,
Will find themselves remaining young
Long after youth departs.
As long as women cling to youth
And disregard their age,
They never can be old, forSooth,
Their youth f1ls up the page.
Yes, some are old before their time
Cd age usurps their youth
And some are young b. yond their prime
Unless they hide the truth.

The effort new being made to con-
soiidat8 tBe Prescott aud Incson land
offices at Phpnix is simply another in
stance that Phoenix wants the earth.
We suppose the next move will be to
abolish the present county seats of the
different counties and build court
houses "a Phnh i7aa and direct county
governments from the capital. The
land okices should not be moved. The
Office at. TucsoR. is centrally located
with reference TO the unpatented lands
of southern Arizona, and the Prescott
office is just where it should be for
northern Arizona. 1t would cost too
much for the people proving up Oh
their homesteads to go to Phnnix,
from either Graham, Cochise or Pima
counties, the counties wherein lay ali
the unpatented lands, except Yuma.
Ia Graham county, there are yet hun
dreds of homesteads to be patented

right where they are, except that they
