will lessen the expense Of pumping by
allowing the pumps to run at APP
proXimately their full capacity, and
will probably provide an abundant

The amount Of water used by the city
is constantly increasing, while the
yield Of the well, though not less than
at the start, is limited to a certain
undiminished stream which requires
that the pumps, when filing the
reservoir, run at a much slower
rate Of speed than their ordinary
capacity. The new we'll will be a
splendid safeguard.

One Of the chief reasons that detain
many adventurous spirits from brdv-
ing the wilds Of the Klundike, is the
great expense Of getting to the gold
fields with a sufficient quantity Of
supplies to protect and nourish per-
son until he can get his gold. Within
certain limits, which demand plenty
of good bacon on the one hand and
shut out linen collars on the other,
the more a man can get into the gold
fields the more chance he has Of get
ting gold. If it comes to the worst,
he can sell his stock and dogs, thus
securing a considerable revenue. But
the actual cost of a miners outfit and
its transportation TO the mines is all
the way from 300 to 800 dollars-more
than most men who have Alaska
longings can conveniently get to-
gether. This is a severely practical
estimate. There are plenty Of bon
ANA expeditions, now being fitted
out, that propose to visit the Yukon
gold district in steam boats that pro-
vide state rooms and table q b0te din
ners. The men who devised these
brilliant expeditions will enjoy the
state rooms, the dinners and the
choice hunting, while the fellows who
subscribed to the enormous stock will
simply-pay for it. An expedition on
the safer middle ground, one that
aims to add to the severe necessities
of the trip limited number of judi
cious forts, is that of Mr.. F. j..
Currier and his companions, which
costs the round sum Of $500.

A High Tariff Town Dead.

Middlesex county, N. j., was rejoic-
ing less than year ago in the advent
of town which was to be founded as
the direct. result of the protective tariff.
A tract of about 600 acres of land was
purchased between Spotswood and
Jamesburg by agents of the Renish
Westphablan Explosive company, of
Cologne, Germany, manufactures of
dynamite, gun cotton and high explos-
ives, for the purpose of establishing a
branch in this country to obtain por-
tion of the American trade.
The sites for the several factory
buildings was soon laid out and the
work of constructing them was begun.
In all fourteen buildings we're erected,
many of them we're brick. The build
ings first started we're finished, but be-
fore any of the machinery was install
ed the contractors received instruc-
tions to stop all work. For some days
no one knew what this meant Then it
was ascertained that the home powder
trust had made arrangements whereby
the foreign firm agreed to relinquish
its attempt to invade the American
market, and the town was a deserted
village. The complicated buildings will
be sold at auction and the town to be
born of a high tariff will soon be
nothing but a memory.-New York
Herald.

Now comes the hint that there is a
proposition for the United States to
sell the Philippines to various Euro
pean powers. It is reported that Japan
has made an offer of $2OO,00OO00 for
the entire business. But it is believed
that the United States will retain the
island of Luzon if it should dispose of
the remainder. Now the sum offered
is quite liberal. This would construct
the Nicaragua canal and the San Fran
cisco and Manila Pacific cable, and
have enough left over to build three or
four big cruisers But if Japan offers
the sum stated the United States can
realize double that sum by allowing
England, Germany, France and Russia
each to participate in the canibalistic
islands. It does seem that the sale of
these islands would be the best possi-
BILE way out of the peculiar dilemma
the United States has got into, consid
ering the Monroe doctrine has become
a part of the unwritten international
law of this country. The proposition
of the sale of the Philippines seems to
be good solution of the problem

The gold democratic party is dead

perfidy, lived life of shame, and died
in despair. Being devoid of any virtue
whatever, it will only be remembered
as an example of depravity, as the Ben
edict Arnold and Judas Iscariot of pol
itics. 1t profaned the name of democ-
racy. while organized to aid the elec-
tion of republicans. It asked only such
gold democrats to support its candi-
dates as were not sufficiently developed
to swallow the republican ticket whole.

It is the general impression that Tex
as is the birth place of lawlessness, the
haven of desperadoes, and the home of
the cut-throat, bat her judiciary is not
controlled by capital. A New York
millionaire has been in Jail two years
at Houston for contempt, he refusing
to produce in court the books of a cor
poration. The incarceration has been
confirmed by the Supreme Court of
the United States, and he will probably
remain in prison the rest of his life.
It is quite different in the east. The

A man committed suicide recently
because of a melancholy conviction
that he was his own grandfather and
here is the letter he left behind him:
"In the first place married widow
with grown up daughter. Ny father
visited our house very often, fell in
love with my step-daughter and mar
ried her. So my father became my
son in-law, because she was my fathers
wife. Soon afterward my wife had a
son-he was my fathers brother-in-law
and my uncle, for he was the brother
of my step-mother My fathers wife,
i. e., my step daughter, also had son.
He was, of course, my brother, and in
the meantime my grandchild, for he
was the son of my daughter; my wife
was my grandmother. I was my wife's
husband and grandchild at the same
time. And as the husband of ones
grandmother is his grandfather, I am
my own granfather."

Although the war closed some weeks
since, the cattle men of Arizona are
still learning new lessons about the
war revenue tax, says the Range News.
The question of the necessity of hav-
ing stamps on certificates of cattle
brands was submitted some time ago
to Collector Morrison. he expressed
the opinion that stamps were unneces-
sary, but referred the matter to the de-
partment at Washington. Now an an
swer has been received to the effect
that the certificates must be stamped.
The Nogales Oasis says that since the
law became effective 600 such certifi-
Gates have been issued by the Arizona
Live Stock Board. ALI these will have

Worse Than Death.

When the Anarchist Lucheni stab
bed and killed Empress Elizabeth at
Geneva there was considerable COM
ment over the fact that the laws of
Switzerland forbade capital punish
ment. People seemed to think that
life imprisonment was too light pen
atty to pay for the wanton murder of
an unoffending woman It now seems
that the punishment which is to be
be meted out to Lucheni is of such a
nature that the death sentence would
have been highly merciful in compar-
ison.
Lucheni has been sentenced to life
IMPRISONMENT in the Eveche prison at
Geneva. Under the terms of his sem
tence he will be subjected to solitary
confinement, during which time he will
not be allowed to speak to any one nor
have any one speak to him. He will
not be allowed to read a book nor a
paper. He will neither be permitted
to send nor receive letters, but will be
compelled to exist in silence, SO far as
the human voice is concerned, that
will be as deep as the grave.
At the end of five years Lucheni will
be taken from his cell and put to work
in the prison shop. Here he may see
those around him, but he will not be
allowed to speak to them nor will they
be allowed to speak to him. The pen
atty for an infraction of this law is
solitary confinement, and it is said by
those who have suffered from three to
four years of such confinement that
death heath by the most horrible tor
ture is preferable.
Lucheni is, therefore, condemned to
living death. Never again may he
hear other than his own voice. Never
SO long as he lives is he to be allowed
to know what is going on in the great
world outside. Empires may be over
thrown, Italy may become a republic,
America may rule two hemispheres.
but Lucheni will never know of this.
All Cudt uo Will ever huOW Is IudC every
day but Sunday he must work in ST.
| lence at his cobbler's bench in the
prison shop, and that three times day
he may silently eat meal of coarse
prison food.
In this way Lucheni, the assassin
and anarchist, will be punished for his
crime. and no man doubt that the sem
tence of death would have been far
more merciful.-Arizona Republican.

The sheep men up in the ]

The sheep men up in the northern
counties of the territory are now satis-
fed of enough feed for their sheep on
the desert to accommodate 100000
sheep until shearing is over in the
spring, says the Republican. A large
number of sheep men are already here,
and their bands are already in the foot
hills. Some have come who are here
for the first time and they predict that
many others will follow them since the
rains. The cattlemen are also feeling
good over the soaking the ground re-
ceived, and they figure that they will
have good feed on the ranges the bal
ance of the winter
