CROP BULLETIN SUMMARY.

The prevailing warm weather of the
past few weeks has been succeeded by
decidedly lower tempera ture and local
tiles that have suffered with the heat
and drought now report changed con
ditions of temperature and abundant
rains In some localities the rainfall
has been excessive and in Salt River
valley. while the rainfall for the past
week has greatly exceeded the normal
vet there is material deficiency since
January 1. Thunder storms have pre-
vailed in Maricopa and Navajo cOun-
ties. but no high winds are reported.
The weather conditions may be sum
married.: Generally cooler with abun-
dant rains and fine growing weather
for fruits and crops.
Favorable reports have been received
from all correspondents the result of
the general rains prevailing through
out the territory. and while there is
an impending danger of damage to
crops in ,the mountain regions by reas-
on of continuous rains. and high Wa
ter IN the rivers and freShets in the
creeks in other localities, no material
damage has vet been sustained.
In the valley of the LiuJle Colorado
threShing is in full operation, with a
good WELD. and an extra crop of hay
has been secured from the ranges. The
peach crop in the upper Gila valley is
reported very large and threshing is
about completed
Without the aid of irrigation the
land in Navajo county is in fine cOndi-
ton for fall plowing, and the prospect
for the later crop of alfalfa is most
promising
In the Salt River valley Il good crop
of almonds has been gathered, as re
CARDS both quality and quantity and
the outlook for the last crop of hay IS
most favorable.
The water in the irrigating canals
and bitches has been increased and the
abundant supply from this source in
addition to the generous rainfall should
greatly Improve the condition of the
soil for fall plowing and planting.

1t is now reported from Washington
that the basis of instructions to the
peace commissioners so far as the
Philippines are concerned. VIII be as
follows:
FGrst-The retention by the United
States of the island of Luzon, ON which
the CITY of Manila is situated
Second-Equal trade facilities with
Spain in the remainder of the Philip
pine group
Third-None of the islands to be dis
posed of to any foreign nation.
FourtI-The severance of all existing
relations between church and state in
the entire Philippine group.
The President is said to be in favor
of retaining the whole of the Philip
pines but the polling of the Senate
shows so much opposition to that
course that it is thought the treaty
would not he ratified by that body
There are a few old moss backs such
as Proctor, of Vermont, Allison,
of Iowa, Spooner, of Wisconsin, Hale,
of Maine, Burrows, of Michigan, AL
drich. Bacon, Fairbanks and others
who oppose the acquisition of all the
Philippines and to these men the Pres
ident is obliged to listen although the
popular voice of the nation is that the
| whole of the Philippines shall be re-
| tanned. 1t is a disgrace to our ma
tionaI legislative body that a few men
can estop the will or the people of the
nation and especially in a case like
| this when the control of the Philip
! pines by this country would be a bles
sing to millions of people who today
/ are but political and religious serfs
without the slightest knowledge o1
such freedom as the people of the
United States enjoy even without civ
ilization, though they have been un
der the control of a supposed civilized
nation for 400 years. The President
however, makes proposition that oJn
moss back Senators dare not repudi
! ate, namely, sever church and state il
those islands and give the United
States equal privileges with Spain il
! their commerce. The one will rid tht
people of those islands of the imposi
tions of the priests, the other vii
carry to them some of our western
civilization.

business is rapidly opening up in
Phoenix. 1t will be moving this fail
much earlier than usual. The demand
for houses and a growing demand for
real estate indicates what is coming.
With nothing TO interfere with her
business territory on the west nearer
than Los Angeles 400 miles distant,
and on the east than Ell Paso, about
the same distance, her commercial i'm
portance is apparent and rapidly in
creaSing. Her railroad connections are
all right and ere long she will have
more of them and in time she will
become an Interstate commerce term
inal point and enter into competition
with the trade of Los Angeles, which
now cuts under us because they can
get the railroad rates that are denied
to Phoenix This abuse will, however,
correct itself in course of time.

Spain con.inues to be tricky. She
viii advance the doctrine that in sur
rendering the terrftory of Cuba and
Porto Rico she does not surrender soy
treicnty: in other words that the build
ings and public works and property re-
main under Spanish control and must
bo. paid for by the United States. If
that should be sound doctrine then all
the forts, harbors and improvements
and public buildings, public roads,
blockhouses, parks, the charities which
are supported by the Spanish govern
ment, etc, etc, must be bought by the
United States Uncle Sam will very
quickly dfspel that illusion when his
commissioners meet those of Spain 1t
is a pretty pass things have come to, If
THAT idea is permitted to prevail The
people of the United States would not
submit to the proposition for one mo
ment. If Spain is not satisfied with
the licking she has got She can have
more of it; when she sTrrenders she
surrenders.

Silver is gradually rising IN value
and Wall street brokers predict that
# will now 20 to 75 cents. The causes
are that it is now quite certain that the
Indian minFS will soon be again open
ed to the coinage of silver and that the
newly acquired territory OF the United
States. the West Indies, the Ladrones,
Philippines and Hawaii opens up new
demands for silver coin as the people
of those countries have ever been a
silver using people, know little about
gold or paper money; this is especially
true of the Philippines. The popula-
ton of these newly acquired countries
amount TO $4,000, ,0000. 1t is safe to
say that 100000 Of them have up TO
the present time used very little
money; it is a safe proposition that
under the government of the United
States and the rapid development OF
those countries under that government
they will at once begin to use more
money and the increase of money re-
ouired by them Will be i'll proportion
to the development of their industries,
the rapid Improvement of their physi-
cal conditions and growth of Their
manufactures and commerce These
peorle will henceforth use Uncle Sam
coin; they will demand silver. the only
metal they have probably ever seen il
tbe form of money. Silver will TAKE
it's place in our monetary system at nc
distant d.ite as provided and according
to the ideas of the st. Louis Republi
can platform of 1896.

Ma gnsI nimOuS humanity inspired US
10 free Cuba from Spanish tyranny.
Naturally, we expected that the Cub
ans would Loyalty assist US in the task,
and it is deplorable that our eXpecta-
fion should be so bitterly disappointed.
Nevertheless, we should not cease TO
be magnanimouS and humane If the
Cu1bans are ungrateful, let US teach
them gratitude; if they are idle and
useless. let US teach them how to en-
joy honest work. Ignorance has been
their only heritage from Spain, their
mother country. They do not know
how could they know?-the duties and
the responsibilities of freemen. But
all authorities agree that they are sen
sitive and responsive, and our patient
kindness and good example may teach
them the lessons of self-respect and
self-government that they have had no
opportunities to learn with a cruel ty
rant as their schoolmaster. But it might
be good way as a starter TO go down
there and hang lot of the gur-rilla out
laws wherever they can be caught; it
would impress upon the Cubans as a
race the value of civilized respect for
the rights of other men.

Europe has finally been obliged to
absorb an idea or two concerning war
methods, from the people of the United
States and the result is ullat Russia,
the leading continental power is today
advocating the abolition of the great
standing armies and tremendous ar
mament that is increasing in expense
and useleSsness every year. Fifty
thousand men have constituted the
standing army in the United States for
many years past wliile our great war
vessels could be counted on the fingtis
of one hand. Our fOrtifications have
been efficient but comparatively mex
pensive to construct and maintain.
Our system of raising and arming Il
volunteer army in a crisis and the con
struction of an impromptu navy that ID
the main answers all the purposes of
the armored, fighting vessels has a
peared to European powers in quite an
other light from that in which such
things were formerly regarded by
them and they have discovered tha
there is Il less expensive and more
profitable and efficient way of being
prepared for war than in possessing;
ponderous guns and ships and paid ar
mics of men. The real Sinews of war
are resources of money, material, pat-
riotism. These Uncle Sam possesses to
an extent exceeded by no other nation

THE CHARGES OF STARVATION.
The announcement that Lieutenant

The announcement that Lieutenant
William Tiffany of the rough riders
died of starvation would naturally ar
ouse public Indignation to the point
where there would be demand on the
government for explanations were it
not for the widely known fact that the
young man was a millionaire and had
resources for securing food that were
practically unlimited. As an officer
and a rich man young Tiffany certain
ly had the advantage of his fellow of
licers and comrades in the matter of
gratifying the cravings of hunger.
But Starvation in this instance
must not be understood to mean a pos
irive lack of food. What the doctor
calls Starvation" in this instance was
doubtless malnutrition, or lack of abil-
ity to asSimilate the food provided. 1t
is We'll to understand these matters
now that the yellow Journals are en-
deavoring by mendaciouS eXaggera-
tions and startling accusations to pur-
suade the public that the government
has been guilty of crimes innumerable
against the brave fellows who went
to the front in response to the Presi-
dents call for troops.
Mr. Tiffany was Il society man and
Il gentleman of leisure. He had been
tenderly raised and was of fran phys
ique. Six Years ago his health broke
down and he was ordered by his phys
ician to leave luNuries and ease behind
and seek restoration of his health
in Montana.
1t was said by his friends at the time
of his enlistment that he was not fitted
TO endure the hardships of the Cuban
but he was brave and pat
riotic and was determined TO join the
