wH1PpLE SHOULD BE IMPROVED

When Colonsl MeCord takes com
 of Prescott will cooperate with him
 he will be able to do much towards
 improving the appsaTance of Whip pie
 barracks. With a few teams to haal
 away rubbish, a good blow and scraper
 team, a great showing could be mad }
 in short time. Colonel McCord is
 already very popular with his m n,
 and it will only require a suggestion
 from him to secure their hearty CO.,
 operation and assistance in making
 needed repairs to buildings and grounds. Believing as the colonel does that the post should be retained, we may expect to see movement in that direction soon after he takes command.
 Captain Russell and the post surgeon have done all they could to overcome the dilapidatsd condition in which they found the post, which was largely due to the indifference of those left in charge of the government property, coupled with a desire on their part to bring about permanent abandonment of the post, if possible, having per sonal ends of their own to serve. Col onel De Pussy felt that the only way to get transferred was to have the post abandoned, consequently he did noth- ing to preserve the property and said a nctf Then came young army officer who thought he was being abused in being detained in charge of the property, feeling that in times like these he should be making history for his coun- try, and incidentally doing something more for himself instead of carrying out his orders pleasantly and agree ably. Consequently his whole energy was directed to disposing of the prop erty at no matter what sacrifice, in or der that he might be relieved of a duty.
 We have had the pleasure of reading General Otis report on Whipple, and if we had not already been convinced, from personal investigation of the post, and thorough knowledge of the terri tory, that the post should be retained and improved, the generals report of fers sufficient evidence to convince any fair minded man that Arizona's rights and interests have been and are being imposed upon by every one that offs:s s opposition to the building up and es- tablishing of strong military post in northern Arizona. The water ard sanitary conditions can be made of the best-a disposition to make the needed is all that is required The $30,000 recommended to be e1- pended by General Otis would, taken with what the citizens Of Prescott pu-- pose doing, remove every difficulty and make Whipple bar racks one of the prettiest and in every way one of the most desirable military posts in the southwest, or in fact, any where.

PHOENIX, AUGUST 2. 1898.
OUR BIG DAY.

Yes.erday was big day fol The Republican. Its press par rade was a feature of great i'm portance. The Republican, re- member, was the first nswspa- per in Arizona to introduce the linotype. It now has the distinc- ton of being the only newspaper on the Pacific coast, outside or San Francisco and Los Angeles, that owns web perfecting press. This press was the one piece of machinery needed to place The Republican on a par, so far as mechanical facilities go, with newspapers published in cities ten times larger than Phoenix. This office now, in its every department, has a mag nificent equipment.
 The satisfaction due to the ac- uuisition of the only web press in Arizona is intensified by the fact that yesterday the power of The Republican as an advertis- ing medium was freshly demon strated. Two leading establish ments, the New York Store and Alkire's, advertised special sales exclusively in The Repub- lican. Both stores were uncom- fortably crowded all day. Every person who went to these stores has read the advertisements in The Republican.
 Advertising in this newspaper pays for the reason that every person in Phoenix or the Salt River valley whose trade is worth having is a readar of The Republican.
 The Republican has no dulI season. It is doing today the best business in its history. It is emphaticaliy ''the peoples paper"

Most of the Europeans live in Binondo,
a beautiful suburb on higher ground,
across the river. There are many native
dialects, but the social, official and bust
ness idiom is Spanish. The army OF
Spanish OWL, religious, military and
naval officials Is leech on the people
in the same fashion as in Cuba. All the
places of profit are monopoiized by
them, appointments to choice offices In
the Philippines being given to those
whom it is desired to reward for service
to the government in Spain. 1t Is quite
well understood that such an appointee
is expected to gain q fortune as rapidly
as he can, by any method possible, so
that he may give way for some one else

similar reward. The policy is the same
as the colonial policy OF Spain IN Cuba
has been and the same results have fol-

Spain has Manila and the other ports
and the plantations near the cities. The
rest of the country cannot be subdued
by any force that Spain can bring to
bear, unless the leaders of the insurrec-
ton choose to lay down their arms.

rion about $500, 000 About half this
area and three. quarters of this popula-
tion are nominally under Spanish rule,
but the instruction has left things in
good deal of doubt. The remainder of
the people are governed according to
their own customs, by independent ma
tive princes Education is exceedingly
backward. The Roman Catholic clergy
have been industrious, and probably
2, 900, 900 natives are nominal converts
to the Christian religion, but education
has advanced very little among them.
There is Roman Catholic archbishop
of Manila, besides three bishops.
Trade restrictions have hampered the
commercial progress of the colony, but
in spite of that fact their trade with
the outside world is large one. For
many years after the conquest but one
vessel year was permitted to ply be-
tween Manila and the Spanish Ameri-
can port of Acapulco. Then the number
was increased to five. Then Spanish
chartered company was given monop-
oily of the trade of the islands. When
that monopoly expired, other houses be-
gan business and now many large Eng
