 Railway competition has at last been secured for this city and the Santa Fe is the system to enter the contest with the Southern Pacific.

Traffic arrange ments will be made with independent lines and the oriental tra le of this city will be developed in manner i'm. possible while Mir. Hultin yt0n is in control.

 As an indication ot the popularity of Col. A. F.. Brodie among the people who have the welfare of the territory at heart, the following is somewhat significant. In a recent conversation at Tucson, Hon. D. M. Riordan, who has been prominently mentioned in connection with the republican nomi- nation for delegate to congress. stated that if Col. Brodie should be selected by the convention for that position he would personally visit every camp in the territory and work in his behalf al ms own private expense.

SOME FUNNY ARGUMENTS.

Some funny arguments are used by
one side or the other when discussing
the Hawaiian annexation question.
Thus whe2 it is urged that the Ha-
waiians are not fitted to become Amer
lean citizens, and hence the islands
should not be annexed, it is answered
that education in the islands is COM
pulsory, and the islanders can all read
and write. and are generally fitted for
American citizenship. When Professor
Won Hoist urges that the principles of
the Declaration of Independence should
be adhered to in this matter, and that
there can be no just government with
out The consent of the governed, and
hence the Hawaiians should be per-
mitted to vote on the question of an
nexation, it is answered that they are
not fit to vote on the question. And
strsngest of all, it is said that Professor
Won Hoist himself is not fit to discuss
the question on its merits, because. for
sooth, he is not native-born Ameri-
can. Really, after all, consistency is a

OVERTIME SUITS PROBABLE.

It is said that some of the city en-
ployees viii sue for wages for working
overtime To provide that public en-
ployees shall only work eight hours a
day when everybody else works several
hours longer, is not to benefit the labor
ing classes generally, but to make a
favored class and to discriminate
against all who are not in the public
employ. Then it is a rare thing that
public employees work as hard as those
engaged in private employment, and
they are generally regarded as having
a soft snap" The simple truth of the
matter is that eight-hour-day legisla-
ton is nothing but throwing a sop to
what is termed the working classes be-
cause of their influence in politics.
There is no reason in the world why
public employees should be favored in
this respect when no other class of
laborers benefit by the eight-hour law.
AS there is such a law in the state,
in fact, the constitution provides for it.
all heads of departments. whether state
or municipal, should see to it that those
under them do not work overtime.
that there may be no suits for extra
work performed; but they should see
to it that their subordinates do work
during the statutory hours. 1t would

ANT1-scA1PINe LAWS.

The railroads are working very hard
to have congress pass an anti-scalping
law, and it is not impossible that one
will be enacted. Every one who has
given any attention whatever to the
matter is more or less familiar with
the arguments in favor of such law.
The railroads make such a showing in
their own behalf, one would think
that ticket scaiping was a crime quite
as bad as treason; it isn't by any
means. To read the railroads side of
the question it would seem that all
who deal in secondhand tickets (for
such scalpers' tickets generally are)
are nothing but rascals. That there is
some fraud, there is no doubt, but the
railroad has got it's pay for carrying a
passenger from one point to another,
and ii isn't out and injured if the same
person does not travel on a ticket the
whole of the distance for which it is
good. The usual answer to this is that
the ticket is a personal contract, and
the answer is very hackneyed.
The railroads are much more par
ticular about their rights than those
of the public, and they never hesitate
to trespass upon the latter whenever it
suits their convenience. They are now
invoking the power of the federal gov
eminent to prevent the selling of tick
cts below the price they fix. Their
appeal may prove a boomerang. If it
is proper to appeal to the federal gov
eminent to pass laws that virtually
say that rates shall not be cut below
what the roads fix them at, it is equal
ly proper to appeal to the same power
to put them where the people think
they should be; and if congress is 60
ing to take the matter up, no one need
be surprised if the people also do in
their political conventions. Granger
railroad legislation by congress is not
desirable, but it is quite as desirable
as congressional legislation in behalf
of the railroads fixing passenger rates
as they want them, and making it
crime to ride on a scalper ticket. If
congress is going to act on this mat
ter it might be just as well to pass
law forbidding railroads to sell con-
tract tickets. The railroads have been
coddled too much by lawmakers and
courts, and to ask for more coddling is
to invite popular hostility.

.sTHE DUTY OF THE HOUR"

The New York Times says that the
defeat of the Teller resolution in the
house was inevitable, since that body
still exhibits a sense of responsibility
to the opinion of the nation; that the
danger and disgrace are averted, but
not all the evil consequences. 1t goes
on to say that it is a menace to the
country's honor and its prosperity
when the senate, by a majority vote.
and 132 members of the house take the
ground that the treasury is at liberty
to pay the creditors of the government
in money that is now current and
kept at its face value only by the
pledged faith of the United States,
which would be broken and become of
no avail the moment we began to pay
bonds in silver

GERMAN HOSTILITY TO AMER
ICA.

1t is difficult to understand Ger
many's hostility to American products,
except on the ground Of Agrarianism,
Agrarianism being to Germany what
Dingleyism is to the United States. In
Germany the plea in justification of all
the orders against American food pro-
ducts is the health of the Germans:
in the United States the plea in JUS
LITIGATION of the exclusion of foreign
products is that Americans must be
protected against the pauper labor of
Europe; and one plea is about as good
as the other. There is this to be said
in favor of our way of shutting out
foreign products; it is aimed against
the whole world, while Germany is
very particular to single out the
United States in her offensive orders
The latest order is against American
fruit and fruit trees. Some years ago
American pork was singled out as the
thing to be excluded from Germany
The orders excluding our pork and
fruit and fruit trees are nothing but
the result of captiousness or cussed-
ness. For more than half a score of
years Germany has been doing all in
her power to prevent the introduction
of American wares and products. In
stead of encouraging trade with the
United States she has been placing
every obstacle possible in the way of
it. 1t is about time that a definite
understanding was had. If Germany is
DESTROYS of boycotting American wares
and products let her be accommodated

compliment by boycotting all things

A QUEER AND IMPROBABLE
STORY.

It is rather a queer story which
comes from Chicago that the president
is in negotiation with the Cuban in
surgents, the object of these negotia-
tions being the stopping of the war on
some financial basis, to be agreed upon
hereafter. That the administration is
indulging in any such negotiations,
would seem impossible; it is certainly
improbable. If the belligerency of the
insurgents had been acknowledged, or
their independence, such proceeding
would not be at all out of the way,
but to enter into negotiations with in
surgents who have not been acknowl-
edged. as beiligerents would be a pro-
ceeding so out of the ordinary as to
be cowardly in the extreme; self-re-
spect, if nothing else, would forbid it.
If secret negotiations are going on,
how comes it that they are no secret,
but an account of them is sent broad
cast over the land? 1t isn't at all likely
that the insurgent leaders would di-
vulge anything, and it is quite certain
the state department would not.
Whatever the shortcomings of the
administration, the president and sec
rotary of state must be credited with
d sense of the fitness of things at
least, while this Chicago story denies
it to them. What a prolific source of
lies and Misrepresentation the Cuban
rebellion has been.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Fortune-telling In Washington


The Criterion: 1t was in the rOtunda of
the capitol, where the historical paint
ings are. The guide-an old fellow well
informed, a tribe crusty, and easily put
out by inattention on the part of his
charges-was explaining to a New York
excursion party the painting which rep
resents Washington taking the oath of
president. He let himself out a little and
was followed with close attention by all
the party but two, vivacious young lady
and a young man evidently much fasci-
mated by her charms. The young woman
was seated on a bench and the young
man was standing over her. She had hold
of his hand. and between giggles was tell
ing him his fortune by the lines of his
pam. The old guide saw the perform
ance and was incensed that they failed to
be interested in his Grafton.
Miss" said he. rather sharply, to the
young woman do you know what year
it was that Washington took the oath
of Officer
The young girl blushed and said moth
ing. The rest of the party smiled at her
confusion. A few, who were envious, per-
haps chuckled.
DO you know. sir?" this time putting
the question to the girls escort.
No" responded the young fellow,
'and what's more, old chap, l don't care.
I'm much more interested in learning
about my own future than 1 am about
Washington's past"
