The Number of Wells Flowing
 at San PedrG.

Bishop Lofgreen of St. David Co- cbise county, is in Tucson in conneo- tion with the Copper Queen suit. lie tells the Star that there are excellent crops, in the San Pedro valley this seasop, the first crop of alfalfa iscut and put uo.
 Bishop Iofsrsen says there are thirty flowing artesian wells in the San Ped To settlement; none Of them large, but sufficient to give an abcundancs of water for one ard half or two acres Thus far the holes sunk are small but there is s probability of sinking larger wells and perhaps several and carrying the wa.eI into reservoir sufficiently high to serve ss a water power AS well as for irrigation. The testing of the flow of the wells dem onstrates that the water can be carried forty feet hig her than the surface, az ths water will flow over that height from . pipe The scheme proposed is a practical one

WAsAJNGToN.-Now, by the far most startling news received snd evidently based upon 8 re liable source ss the war department officials are consider ably upset by it, was had today by cable from Cuba 10 the effect that Cervera's fleet never was in Santiago end furthermore are by this time near the Phillipine Islands. The informe- tion was received from the secret service of the Cuban insurgents and they have positive information to that effect. The chips now in the harbo. are Spanish steamers and but one Spanish gunboat. The news has created considerable excitement and some fear for the sslety of Dewey's squadron. Hurried orders were issued and it is evident .he news has created an uneasiness s,aong the war ofscis!s tha. the have no. hitherto felt. I'm me. A,ts investigsti has been or tered If the report proves true a change in the policy or war plan will follow.
 WAsHINGToN.-NOo official informR- tiOn as yet of the reported engage ment of Schley's squadron and de- struction of the batteries and forts of Santiago harbor. The officials while expecting news of that charsotor do not believe Schley made any attempt to enter the harbor. The fact that other provisions have been made by the department to engage the Spanish fleet if in the harbor ,has lead them to the conclusion that there is no foundsti ton in the report.
 WAsHINGToN.-The secretary of wa. today sent to congress request fer $53.67S. .3s9. These appropriations will be used for the equipment and maintenance urtil January l. 1899, of the 75. 500 volunteers recently called fer by the president.

The Butte Miner says:

craftsmanship" under the name
of reform" has not made the brilliant
success, where tried, that would rec
ommend it as a permanent feature OF
city government. There is nothing but
an indefinite and indefinable something
which cannot be called an organization
to hold responsible for mistakes. Salt
Lake City is trying the experiment now
which failed so ingloriously in New
York. Until some better results are
promised for non-partisan administra-
lions, the old, or rather the present
system will have TO continue. Its ad-
vantages. appear to be that there is
something to hold responsible, and mis-
management is pretty apt to he fol-
lowed by change of mis-managers.
The Miner is wrong so far as this
city is concerned. The mayor was
elected as a non-partisan, but the ma
jority of the city council and of the
general officers were elected as par
tisans How the arrangement will work
remains to be seen. It certainly isn't
an ideal one. What the Miner says

ESTABLISH TOWN LIBRARIES.

Winter is the time for reading Then
the evenings are long and there is not
much going on to occupy ones spare
moments, and with most people there
are more of them at this season than
at any other. But to read there must
be books, and it must be said with
great regret that the towns and cities
of Utah, with very few exceptions, do
not possess the books. There are no
public libraries in the cities and towns
of our state, and this means that for
the great majority of the people there
are no books to read, for private libra
ries are not numerous.
If in each city and town of the state
there were a public library it would be
the means of educating the boys and
girls, and older people, and of giving
them habits that would be invaluable
as the years go on. If the boys and
girls of our state can be made readers
they will grow up brighter and better
men and women. But how can they
become readers if they have no books?
They cannot. To furnish them books
would not cost a great deal, and it
could very easily be done by a little
public spirit and a little personal eff
fort. That which is lacking is not the
means of providing books but the i'm
pulse to do it. There isn't a town in
the state that couldn't purchase two
or three hundred or a thousand vol
umes if so disposed. This could be
done by private effort, and should be,
and not by drawing upon the public
treasury. Much of the time of the boys
and girls is wasted because of the lack
of a few books in the towns. Let the
lack he supplied and the precious time
saved

the following particulars of the deal:
Ship US at the earliest possible mo-
ment 100000 tons of 81 per cent Me-
saba iron ore for docks at Cardiff
Such was the order received and ac-
cepted by the ore firm of Warner, Stu
art g. Co. of Cleveland, O., and for
more than s2O.OO0,OOO worth of goods
in which this firm deals. The price
agreed upon was S5.15 per ton. delivered
on the docks at Cardiff. Mr.. Millers
commission on the sale amounts to
s5OO, OOO."
Only a day or two ago it was an
nounced that this country was furnish
ing China with large quantities of cot
ton Here was another blow at Eng
land, through India.
In the past England has been re-
garded as the very home of iron ore.
And think that now she is beginning
to take it from this country! American
rails are crowding English rails out of
their own market in some instances,
and crowding them out of India and
Japan. This country is on the eve of a
new departure in industrial matters;
and it looks as though England were,
too, but hers is of an entirely different
kind

THE MAYORS APPOINTMENTS.


The appointments sent to the coun-
ell last Tuesday evening are a distinct
recognition of the partisan methods of
government. The slogan of the reform
ers was that ward bosses and ''po-
litical heelers" should be ignored, and
only such appointments made as rest
ed upon civic merit. Yet with the
first throw Of the patronage dice box,
out rolls the name of Mr. Pratt, the
chief wire-puller and political marplot
of them ali. Not only that, but Mr..
Clark allowed it to be understood
through the medium of his organ, that
Mr.. Pratt would not be nominated to
the position of chief of police Thus we
behold a champion of reform, the lead
er of a crusade for purity in politics,
consummating his part of a general
scheme that looks remarkably like OBJ
tanning an Office under false pretenses.
We presume this is permissible in pol
tiles, especially in that peculiar brand
of politics that would repudiate par
tisan methods as being too dishonest
and corrupt for reform business adj
ministration. And yet, strangely
enough, it is in business life that such
methods approach dangerously near to
statutory liabilities.
The question now arises what will
the Democratic members of the coun-
ell do? There are many rumors afioat,
but The Herald is assured that, like
all honorable men who have political
la ms
of procuring office, they will remain
true to the faith" Only that most
beautiful conglomeration of partisan
-partisanship would be guilty of
spreading in this community the in
suit that this. or that, Democratic
councilman intends voting for Mr..
Pratts confirmation. The untruthful-
ness of such rumors would be evident
at a glance to the politician of the or
binary partisan stripe. Only to the
exulted patriots that ran Mayor Clark's
campaign, would such political per-
fidy seem to be probable. Only to re-
formers who dwell in a beatific state
of soulful self contemplation, would it
seem reasonable, that they could de-
feat the Democratic candidate for
mayor and six Democratic candidates
for the council; that they could strive
to defeat the present Democratic in
cumbents; that their organ could cover
the Democratic candidates with coarse
abuse throughout the campaign, and
then expect to Jam down Democratic
Threats, for the chief appointive posi-
ton in the city, the man who would be
most repugnant on grounds of both
public and political policy.

DURRANT DISAPPOINTS THE
DOCTORS.

Theodore Durrant has made a request
that after execution no autopsy upon
his body be allowed. The request will
undoubtedly be complied with, and
should be. But the news now comes
from San Francisco that the doctors
are greatly disappointed that they are
not to be allowed to have his body for
scientific purposes. 1t is very doubt
full if a single benefit to science or any
thing else would come from giving Dur
rants remains up for post-mortem ex-
animation. It is not at all improbable
that the substitution of another body
would serve the doctors purpose quite
as well. if they We're not aware of the
deception. They would most likely find
every fact necessary to confirm any
theory held. Doctors do lots of things
in the name of science that are any
thing but scientific, and they cover
them up with sesquipedalian verbiage
that is frightful to behold
Durrant is a notorious criminal, and
for any doctor to be able to say that he
took part in an autopsy of him would
give him an added notoriety; we mean
prestige. What the doctors in this case
are seeking is not so much to further
the interests Of science, as to give
prestige" to themselves.

WHY PRESIDENTIAL CAM
PAIGNS ARE EXPENSIVE.

Every presidential campaign is now
as expensive as a panic. Business
comes to a standstill, everybody is
stirred up and general Generalization
follows. Then, too, the dangerous ele-
ment of class interests and prejudice
are introduced with the resultant evil
effects necessarily following such char
acter CT issues. The cause of this could
largely be removed by settling the
financial question:" says exComptrol-
Ter Eckels.
There is no denying that all presiden-
tial campaigns are expensive, not
merely in themselves, but in a meas
ure because of their effect upon bust
ness. In presidential years for about
four months there is more or less stag
nation of business, not so much be-
cause business is threatened but be-
cause everybody is more interested in
the election than in anything else.
In the presidential election of 1896 the
financial question was for the first time
the leading issue, yet in every other
presidential campaign business has
been Just as much disturbed as in the
last one There is always such dis
turbance no matter what the issue.
For the eX-comptrOller to say that the
cause of this disturbance could be
largely removed by settling the cur
rency question shows him to be rather
a superficial observer. The settlement
of the currency question would remove
it as a cause of disturbance to bust
ness during a presidential campaign,
but some other cause, fully as potent
for disturbance of business, would take
its place.
Mr.. Eckels would seem to imply that
presidential elections are bad things
per Sc. If they bring some evils in the
way of disturbance of business they
are the means of rectifying other evils
that are much greater. Business in
terests are most important and moth
ing should be done that will needlessIy
perturb them, but our method of choos-
ing a president cannot be made to con-
form to a special interest. The ex-
comptroller is wrong when he says q
presidential campaign is as expensive
as a panic. Then, again, such a cam
paign does not disturb business nearly
so much as is generally supposed.
