GOOD TIME FOR BORROWERS.

The ease with which money can be borrowed nowadays is illustrated anew in France. Paris is about to convert it's debt from three per cent into two per cent obligations. As has usually happened in modern history, the French people appear to be at present the richest of all those who have felt the spur of modern industrial and financial activity The high degree of indirect profit derived by them from the discoveries of gold in Cal ifornia and Australia was not matched anywhere. Nor it is possible to show that even the United States, though receiving into it's possession most of the yellow metal mined in California, directly gained On an equally large scale. The great finds of new gold during the last seven or eight years, principally in South Africa, have not, it is plain, brought such i'm mense stocks of the treasure to Great Britain as might have been expected for today the Bank of England is far less well off on that score than it would have been if such had been the case It looks as if perhaps some of the i'm mediate and more of the final results of the Kaff1r mining had particularly enriched France. Not even English money can be hired at such rate as the French people are willing to loan 1 to the city of Paris for

THE CAUSE OF TT ALL.

For fifty years the island of Cuba has been source of expense and an noyance to the United States. It has been a blot upon western civilization. The government long ago set up by the Spaniards there has been one based upon extortion and brutality. The inhabitants have been bled by taxation and they have received nc recognition worthy of the name. In 1873 began a revolution that contin- ued for ten years, during which time the United States was called upon to patrol Cuban waters in order to pre- vent, so far as it was possible, the landing of filibustering expeditions. At last peace was declared, Spain making many promises of reform and better treatment for the Cubans. During that time the case of the Vir- ginius shocked the people of the United States and war was averted with difficulty. Probably it would have been better, in view of more re- cent events, to have settled the ques- tion then. The promises made have been broken. The island has been desolated, and hundreds of thousands of it's people have been butchered.
 To end all this for all time to come is the task the United States has set about to accomplish. The nilsson we have undertaken is not pleasant and it is not profitable, except in SO far as the blot of misrule is to be ended by forcing Spain to quit the island. The cry that it is coward.y for a strong nation like this country to a mistaken cry. Spain has already lest Cuba, and every month that the war with the Cubans continued added still more to the debt of the already sunk almost everything in Cuba, and at this time the mere evacuation of the island would entail no further loss upon the mother country. She honor, for that is something unknown to the Spanish character
 Out of the pending strife this ccun- try will get nothing. We have much to lose without any prospect of a re- turn for the performance of a public duty. We are simply acting for oth- CTS and for the betterment of civili- zation in the new world. We will surely succeed, but probably not without much of sorrow and suffering. Once done however. the duty will be well done.

Whatever be the criticism of the other nations of Europe, of our action toward Spain, we need not heed them The civilized nations of Europe are scarcely able to comprehend our mo- tive for war. To enter into conflict without personal reason is something altogether new and unique in the his tory of warfare. Europe now has the opportunity of witnessing a great na- ton intervene in behalf of an op- pressed people. The action of the United States will forever stand as a righteous rebuke to those nations of the world whose duty it was to interfere in behalf of Armenia, but who did not. By this war the United States will assert it's right to claim that it is the most civilized and enlightened nation of the world.

The directors of the s. F. P. & F. railroad will some time learn that in order to pay a dividend it will be- come necessary to drop Frank Murphy from it's management, as now the Southern Pacific road is doing fully four-fifths Of all the business of Phoe- nix and it is largely due to the de- sire of the Murphys to boss the peo- pie of Arizona. Railroad manage ment and political bossism don't go well together, and the sooner the men who own this splendid railroad sys- tenn learn this the better it will be for them.-GaZette.
 How long is it since the Gazette was berating the north and south road for its alleged extortionate charges and demanding the enactment of freight and fare law? If, as it now alleges the road has yet to declare dividend what becomes of it's former conten- tion? Surely there is no ground fol adverse legislation against ''splendiC railroad system" that is doing only one-fifth "of the Phoenix business?' Rather should the railroad company particularly it's president-be praised for maintaining such a splendid sys tem" in the fare of the discouragins conditions stated by the Gazette. w devote this much space to the mouth ings of the Gazette merely to show that consistency and decency have n' lodgment in the sanctum of our con temporary

pheric eddy by careening around

pheric eddy by careening around
such a mass of corrupt hui
man clay. And they rushed
from street to street like mob Of
the French revolution hunting for
blood, eager for blood, satisfied
with nothing but blood.
But no blood was shed, and the
colored gentleman who caused all
this excitement was probably sleep
ing quietly all the time in perfect
consciousness that there was not
enough real lynching blood in the
whole crowd to lynch a good sized
mosquito, unless it was willing.
How different it would have been
in typical southern town. There,
if any man. white or colored, had
thus desecrated the home of a re-
putable citizen, a half dozen de-
termined men would have lynched
him in FIVE minutes. They would
have made no fuss about it; they
would have had no brass band ac-
compartment. Q1ie:ly they would
have done their work, and they
would have done it well. In few
minutes tine home would have been
avenged, and all such creatures as
rape fends would have had another
example to tell them their fate if
they attempted the same thing.
But then this was Parkersburg.
And what else could we expect?
A gentleman who saw the farce
told us that it resembled a Bonny
Brook fare more than a lynching.
And we believe that he was about
right, for that would be in perfect
harmony with all the attempts of
the city down the river to do any
thing that required an unusual de.
gree of ability in any direction
Poor Parkersburg! 1t can never be
an oil town. It can not even lynch
a niger rapist!

The peace treaty is about finished
and now the senate of the United
States will have to ponder over it
and gush over it and enlarge upon
it until the whole country is dis
gusted before it is endorsed. What
a relief it would be if it could be
signed by the representatives OF the
countries, and then it would all be
over. But then, that senate must
have something to do. It would
never do to have such an august
body without giving them an OPP
portunity to demonstrate to the
world and themselves what really
great body they are.
