uNExAmPLED PROSPERITY.

Heretofore 1892 has furnished the basis for estimates when comparison for the large business was made, but in the report published recently, .'Bradstreet's says 1898 must serve hereafter for that basis. It adds: Nearly ali available statistics and reports point 10 the fact that the present year has heavily exceeded any former one in the amount of business done
 It is a noteworthy fact that the last year of the preceding republi- can administration witnessed pheno- menal prosperity in this couu ry. Then came four years of democratic rule with great loss and suffering.
 Again the republican party Is in power and again the country is highly prosperous. It will not do to ascribe this to republican luck. There must be some other cause at work and men of observation see that when the republican party is in charge of the government the country IS prosperous, and that when the democrats come in the reverse Is the rule.
 All men desire prosperity and men of sense should support the party which brings that about.-EI.

OUR TRADE CONDITIONS

R. c. Dun & Co.'S monthly review Of trade conditions, issued Decem Der 9, gives a most encouraging view of the industrial and commer- ciai affairs of this country. In speaking of the condition of the country in general it says that throughout the general business world they offer the highest eE- couragement. A lars" as ;regate of volume of bushes far Noys2, CT, increased foreign demand, and con- paratigely few failures, show au uu- usual condition of financial sound ness.
 Export of food products continue large. Industries generally have done well. The most important event being the placing of orders for 100000 tons of steel rails.
 The price situation is, on the whole, satisfactory, as more advances than declines were recorded for the month.
 In speaking of local conditions in southern California it says that bus mess is affected somewhat by the fact that November has passed bringing no rain. Business must of necessity move along very conserv- ative lines until there is a good soak ing rain.
 Interest now is in the coming or ange crop, and orange buyers are particularly active, and holiday shipments are going forward. It is claimed that the fruit sent forward is better than the fruit sent last year for Christmas trade. The price for fancy navels is S260 top price, 15 cents less than opening price last year.
 The celery crop was the largest ever moved from that section.
 There were only nine failures dur ing the month with liabilities of only Sl1,OOO and assets of 5000 as against fifteen in November, 1897, with liabilities of S3l,OOO and assets of S12OO0

NOT A RIDICULOUS CLAIM.

The Courier in an attempt to dis parage the efforts of E. NJ. Murphy and otbers, in the retention of Wh. D. pie barracks as a military post, sa -s:
 To claim any act of this great government as due to personal effo- ts of any one private citizen, in t.is territory, savers very much of tue ridiculous"
 This would indicate a lack of knowledge in regard to the way the business of this great government is transacted. The acts of the gov ernment are but those of individ- uals acting in an official capacity, and when performed they become the act of the government. Indi- vidIals in high official position-in positions where their actions be- come the act of the government it. self, are just as susceptible to argu- ment of other Indiyiduals as those in the more ordinary walks of life. As a matter oI fact the acts of this great government are but the aggre- .ate Of individual acts, and the iu- diyidual acts, in many cases are largely controlled by representations of other individuals.
 It is a matter known to all that F. II. Murphy succeeded on two or three occasions in securing the re- vocation of an order for the aban- donment of Whipp'e barracks, ridicu ious as the proposition may appear to hls personal enemies.

FRANCE WANTS A PLEDGE

Those Frenchmen still manifest their displeasure with the United States over the Spanish question. Their sympathies are almost wholly based on the holdings of Spanish securities though. They were not pleased a. the war and now they are displeased at the peace conditions arrived at. 4 recent telegram from Paris says that diplomatic circles in Paris predict. as one of the results of the treaty a diplomatic contest between France and the United : es, which will have an important
 apfe' in history. The French gov ernment is reported to have resolved n take up the case of the French holders of Cuban bonds and it is be- l.evet France will declare a repu- diat.On of the bonds as result of he treaty which the victorious na- tion imposed upon Spain. They argue that through the treaty the responsibility has been shifted upon America and therefore the French government will endeavor to exact some pledge for the payment or guarantee of the bonds.
 It does not take a man possessed of the wisdom of Solomon to tell those French diplomats in advance the result of such diplomatic c-n. sast

About Saturdays Accident.

The conclusion of the coroner's 1 jury, which held an inquest Decem- Der l2 over the body of Engineer W. Fl. Wade, who met his death at the collision north of Prescott on Saturday last, is accurate and justi- i fed by the evidence adduced before it, in so far as it states that the col lision was caused by the negligence of the conductor and the engineer of the extra, That part of it which attributes negligence and blame to Tram Dispatcher F. L. Parriott was not an unnatural conclusion for the jury to reach, the members thereof supposedly not being practical rail road men. The testimony through out from everybody, particularly MT. Atkinson, the conductor of the extra, was to the effect that the Ieg- ular train over the P. & E. road bound for Prescott, known as No. 2l, was simply overlooked; its exist ence and the time that it was due to arrive was simply forgotten by both MT. Atkinson and Mir. Wade, each of them being furnished with cards and knowing the schedule of that | train.
 That which misled the jury, as we think, was that after the train dis patcher had given the conductor of the extra train his orders in writing to run between Prescott and Ash Fork, and the conductor had hand ed copy of that order to Engineer Wade, some of the cars which were to form this extra train then stand ing on the main track and in such a position as to have prevented the arrival of the regular train, which has the right of way over the track, the dispatcher did say to the con- ductor substantially, Want you to hurry up and get out of here." To man not acquainted with railroad phraseology and the rules of the company that wonld seem to mean that the conductor and engineer were instructed to hurry up and start on their journey, whereas to a railroad man, who knew the rules of the company gave the regular train the right of way over the track, and who likewise knew from his card the exact time at which it was due, that language simply meant that they were to hurry up. form their train and get their cars of the main track and out of the way of regular sched- ule train.
 It did not either require or auth orize them to leave the railroad yard on their journey and they did not so understand it. The facts pro duced were, that immediately after the collision and as soon as MT. At kinson saw the conductor of the other train and was asked by him what he was doing there, said "Why, we simply overlooked you"
 Thus it will be seen, as before stated, that while the conclusion of the jury IS natural one, it uniustly reflects upon Mir. Parriott, as he did ard said nothing that was unusual and he omitted nothing that his duty required. He gave his orders in writing, specifically calling the attention of the conductor and the engineer to certain trains which they were to avoId.
 Our purpose Is not to screen or protect any person, nor to cover up any fact, but this explanation, we believe under the circumstances. ia due to MT. Parriott aud his conduct.

The question as to whether eX- press companies are requirad to pay the one cent war revenue tax st amp which they are required to affix to all receipts for goods shipped, or whether they can compel their pa trons to pay it. Is before the courts in San Francisco for adjudication. Iu the long run the express com pany is bound to win. If the courts should decide they must pay this tax all they have to do is to read just their tariff rates and add one cent to them, or even five cents to each package, when they can easily afford to pay the tax. Superintend ent Valentine claims that this tax, small as 1t is. would entail a loss on the company as the bulk of their business Is in small packages with small amount of tariff on each. The average received for each package it is claimed is less than Sl and the vast number of the packages carried Is what constitutes their business. The present storm seems to be general in it's nature and will be worth the price paid for the Philip pine islands. to California and Ari- zona alone. Word received from Phe- nix yesterday was to the effect that there was a general rain there with little snow, Telegraph lines to Los Angeles and San Francesca were working poorly, and Pasa- dena reported heavy rain storm in progress there. South ern California has been taking very gloomy view of the situation but the present storm will revive hope again. The lateness of the commencement of the storms IS in dicative of a good season, and it would hot be surprising if California sees one of the most prosperous years experienced for long time.

THEY WILL NOT AMEND.

The Phenix Herald says: 'lt is to be hoped that our members of the coming legislature will take up the matter of our election laws at once and have an amended law ready to be taken into consideration when the legislature opens. There are many incongruities and loose places in the present law that should be remedIed and simph6ed. For in- stance, there is conflict between DOT tions of the old law and the Austral- ian ballot amendment. the matter of registration is fatally loose as it is possible to register false names and for voters 10 vote in every pre- cinct in the county if not caught al it.
