Nr. fIatt declared that it was the,
purpose OF t;c advocates of the resolu-
ton to override the solemn declaration
OF congress that the parity of gold and
silver coins should be maintained.
In the course OF a brief colloquy be-
tween hIt. Platt ON the one side and Mr..
Allen anst TillnEn, Mr.. Platt stated
this co-ntIy now had bimetallism. To
this Mr.. Chandler took exception. say
lng that any defin ton of birns talIism
which omitted the free coinage of both
metals at ratio fixed by law was not
only incorrect, but obsolete.
Mr.. Platt challenged Mr. Chandler to
produce any recognized authority which
included free coinage in the definition
of bimetallism.
Mr.. Daniel (Va. followed Mr.. Platt
in support of the resolution.

HE CHARGED ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Another Attack ON Civil Service Commits,
mission by Rev. Bailey.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Rev. E. D.
Bailey, chief clerk Of the examiners
Office, civil service commission, sub
mitted some lively testimony at the
session of the senate civil service in
vestigating committee. 1t was a sequel
to the charges he made Monday of in
timation and interference by the COM
mission with his testimony. He called
attention to the bitter attack made on
him then by President Proctor of the
commission. He read a letter he had
addressed to Theodoae Roosevelt, then
New York police commissioner, severely
critising the commission for misman-
agement.
Proctor denies the charges.

article on the asylum at Weston writ

Gle was published in the Intelligencer.
1t reflected rather severely on the
management of the institution while
it was under Democratic control. 1t
is reply enough to say that Middleton

HE SAW MRS. LUETeERT.
A Bookbinder Gives Important Testi-
mony In the Trial.


CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Otto Klatt, a
bookbinder living at 991 West Chicago
avenue, has testified in the Luetgert
murder trial that about II o'clock ON
the night of May ] last, while driving
past the Luetgert residence in Hermit
age avenue, a woman came out of one
CT the houses, which be believes was
Luetgert's, and crossed the street in
front Of his rig. Klatt says he heard
gate slam and before he could see her
the woman was almost under the horses
feet. She reached her hand up to
stop my horse, said Hiatt, '.and called
ont TO her to look ont or 4 Il run over
you. She made no reply, but went on
across the street.
The witness said that the woman had
a package under her arm and was about
his size. Klatt aid he could not see
the woman clearly enough to identify
her either personally or by photograph
klatt told a fairly straight story, and
his testimony seemed to impress the
jury more than that of any other wit
ness yet put on the stand, Luetgert him
self not excepted.

Mr.. Hoar replied that if such redemp-
tioll were necessary to maintain the
parity Of goli and silver coin he would
answer yes, but no such subtle compre-
hensive question could be answered
briefly.

Sugar Beet Farms.

A very excellent argument in the
Chronicle, of San Francisco says. eff
a man towns fertile acreage of beet
land near sugar factory, it is better
thing year in and year out than Wis
consin dairy farm or wheat ranch in
Kansas. His chance is like that of the
truck farmer near the big cities, who is
prosperous because he gets quick
sales" This has been the experience
of owners of land in the neighborhood
of the Nebraska, the Utah and the Cal
ifornia factories, and this is the pros
pect now offering to Pecos valley far
mers. This season will demonstrate
in very convincing way that the man
who has land so situated that he can
produce crop of beets and put them
into the factory in Eddy without delay
has basis for his farming operations
not enjoyed by sections knowing moth
ing of the beet industry. And lands
on which such a crop can be produced,
and in position from which it can be
expeditlously marketed, are the lands
which are now being offered as an in
ducement for progressive and intelli-
gent farmers to come into this section
and make homes.-Eddy Argus.

One of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession, says DIR. Tai
mage, is the fact that they are COM
PEELED to see more of the shams
of the world than any other pro-
fession. Through every newspaper
Office, day by day, go the weaknesses
of the world, the vanities that want to
be puffed, the revenges that want to be
wrecked, all the mistakes that want to
be corrected, all the dull speakers who
want to be thought eloquent, all the
meanness that wants to get its wares
noticed gratis in the editorial columns
in order to save the tax of the adver-
tising column, all the men who want
to be set right who never we're right,
all the crack Drained philosophers,
with story as lorg as their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails, all the it
inerate bores who come to stay five
minutes and stop an hour. From the
editorial and reportorial rooms all the
follies and shams of the world are
seen day by day, and the temptation is
to beIive neither in God, man or
woman. It is no surprise to me that
in your profession there are some sker-
tical men. I only wonder that you be-
lieve anything.

One price, one treatment, accord

The Arizona Republican, in recent
issue, gives the estimated gold produc-
ton of Arizona for 1897 at $8,0O0,0O0,
and the product of copper is given at
O.656,4 400 pounds, which at the very
low value of 10 cents per pound makes
the copper product of Arizona worth
$8,O65, $4,000.
Think of it, $16,OOO,00O, the product
of but two metals from the mines of
Arizona, and the total assessed valua-
tions of ELL mines, 1877 of them, a paltry
$264,194.
Is it any wonder, under such condi-
tlons, that Navajo county has, as stated
in the Arizona Republican of last Au-
gust, "to assess the chickens and black
birds to make both ends meet"
The nonresident owner or stock
holder in producing mines pockets his
enormous returns and dividends with
out contributing one iota to the terri
torial or county treasury from that
product, and the territorial tax merrily
travels upward for the stockman and
farmer to meet and pay in order that
the mine owner may pocket little
larger profit.
It surely seems as though the farm
| ing land, non-productive desert land,
and cattle and sheep must "pay the
freight"
The non-productive land Of the San
ia Fe Pacific Railroad Company in Nav
ajo county alone pays tax into the coun-
ty and territorial treasures, annually,
upon an assessed valuation of nearly
100000, and the mining interests OF
Arizona producing over $16,O00,0OO an
nually, is compelled to pay tax upon
the ENORMOUS VALUATION of 1854, ,l94.
Are we wrong in asking that all
wealth bear its just portion of the bur-
den of government? We do not object
to paying tax upon on all of our
property, and at the same time that we
do that, we but ask, not that the mine
owner pay npon his property, but SIM
ply that he pay fair and reasonable
tax upon his product, A BULLION TAX,
and thereby contribute his mite to-
ward the territorial government.
Then our wealth upon the assess
ment rolls of the various counties will
be more equally divided, and our Hon.
orable Board of Equalization will be
able Ito derive sufficient revenue for
| territorial purposes without raising
the assessed value of non-productive
land 100 per cent. to meet the current
expenses of the territory, and bond
issues will be of less frequent occur
renee.
Such is the humble opinion of one
who would like to be able to be
MINE OWNER.

A. F. Snyder of Tucson, owner of
some mining claims located on the San
Carlos reservation, is enthusiastic over
the possibilities of that district. IL
believe the richest mineral section OF
Arizona is yet undeveloped," said Mr.
Snider, in the Phenix Republican, "and
it lies within the borders OF the San
Carlos reservation. have prospected
all over the territory, but [ have never
seen a better mineral district. There
is not only gold, silver and copper, but
there is an immense deposit of coal
there. The Gila Valley, Globe and
Northern will run within fifteen miles
of the coal fields. The coal there is the
pest I have ever seen. It has not yet
been determined how extensive the de-
posit is, but that which has been de-
yeloped is of the best quality. The
coming of the railroad will no doubt
open up these fields, and also the gold,
silver and copper resources of the coun-
try"

There is law against carrying con-
cealed weapons, says an exchange. The
oretically it is wise and proper ordi-
nance. But as matter of practical
fact the only persons who honor this
law are the victims of the murderer,
the footpad and the rowdy. The law
disarms the only class who could with
safety be trusted to carry weapons Of
self-defense, and puts them at the mer-
cy of every. criminal they meet. What
real service does this regulation per-
form in the social scheme, we should
like to know. 1t sacrifices good citi-
zens and it imposes absolutely no re-
straint whatever upon the others. It is
our deliberate opinion that any res
pectable person who has been theaten-
ed by crank should be authorized to
arm himself and should be held guilt
less if, at the slightest menace from
that quarter, he uses his weapon with
promptness and efficiency. The life of
one useful, law-abiding citizen is worth
hundred Of these pestiferous vermin,
and no law should impose upon him
the risk of defenselessness in case of
murderous attack. We do not advo-
cate law-breaking. What we propose
is such an amendment of the law as
will fit the situation. Every rufiian,
crank and criminal carries his pistol or
his knife. Why should decent people
be put and kept at their mercy? Why
should we have laws which sacrifice
their friends and strengthen and up
hold their enemieS?

A Talk on Confidence.

When his son was about to begin
business on his own account, the re-
tired gold brick operator said to him:
coincidence, my boy, is the basis of
business prosperity. Remember that
all Elabor is honorable; some is more
profitable and safe than others. The
wise business man, like nature, works
along the lines of least resistance;
therefore cultivate the widow and the
orphan. Do not join in the vulgar pro-
paganda against the agricultural class
es; they may lack the graces of the
Four Hundred, and have eccentric
theories of finance, but their money is
good and easy. Never forget the cour-
tesies of your profession or ignore its
members; treat bankers and brokers
with the same consideration that you
do other members of our noble order.
If you meet policeman on the street,
turn down the avenue; there is room
enough for him and you in the great
city. Study human nature. Remem-
Der that man is constantly seeking
to obtain one dollars worth Of mer-
chandise for 10 cents worth of value.
He who accommodates him is doing a
good thing. Men are constantly buy
ing and selling our product, gold
bricks. Know your man and your
brick; the thickness of the plate on
your brick should always be in an in
verse ration to the thickness of your
patrons head. Prudence in business
is an adjunct of success. While the
general proposition, that mems ears
are longer than their memory, is true
in order to avoid the exception to the
rule follow the example of the gentle
tightening and never strike twice in
the same place."-Life.

A Bullion Tax.

EDITOR MAIL-It was with considera-
BILE interest that the writer read the ar
ticles in recent issues of THE MAIL rel
ative to bullion tax, and it has been
with equal interest that he has scanned
the papers from the mining districts OF
the territory for some logical reason, or
in fact for any reason, why "bullion''
should still remain on the free list.
The writer does not believe in, nor in
any way advocate tax upon the pros
pect, or upon the non n-producing mine
or mining claim, nor upon the improve
ments made upon mining claims to de-
velop them.
But the product of the mine-that is
a different proposition entirely.
The prospector, if found by the as
SCISSOR, must pay tax upon his burro
and roll of blankets, and poll tax
upon himself.
The miner in the employ of the pro-
ducing mine also has the "pleasure" OF
paying his $25 poll tax, or of having
it deducted from his pay by his en-
ployer, as we'll as property tax upon
his roll of blankets and small personal
effects.
It is true that comparisons are odious,
but let us make one or two, to see where
we. of the stock raising and farming
counties are sat-" and upon which side
the odium rests.
Asa comparative table let US take
Gov. McCord's interesting report for
the year 1897.
On page Is. Land and Improvements
at foot of page, note "b," 1877 mines
value $264,174.
On page 76, Cattle, Coconino county
number 2,40O, value $299,994 81.
Can it be possible that the cattle in
dustry of Coconino county, Arizona
alone, pays greater tax into the ter
ritorial and county treasures than the
whole of the immense mining indus
dustries of Arizona?
And now for return upon the two in
dustries.
If Coconino county we're able to ship
the full 81, 400 of cattle that are assess.
ed to market, and received $40 per head
net for them, it would only give re.
turn of $648,0OO.
In a recent issue of the Tucson Star
in commenting upon the product OF
Arizona mines, that paper credits the
Commonwealth mine alone with giving
its owners NET return of 100000 pei
month or $1,200,O0O per annum, nearly
doubl the greatest possible cattle re-
turns that could be had from Coconino
county could the full number of cattle
assessed in that county be marketed
and more than the top price be receiv'
ed net for them.
The Commonwealth, however, is but
one of many large producers in Ari.
Zona.
Again referring TO GOV. McCord's re-
port for 1897, page 33, the La Fortuna
Mining Co., is credited with an average
production of $4,000 monthly or $500
600 per annum. Page 35 we find that
the Congress mine, working upon but
one of that company's many claims, is
credited with a monthly product oi
$500 ounces of gold, which at the valut
of SIT per ounce, is over $4,000 pei
month or $750,000 per annum.
The three companies above referred
to producing more than four times th'
amount of the total value of the cattl,
industry of Coconino county, and still
that county pays greater tax thar
the whole of the mines in Arizona.

The act authorizing the territory to
issue 100000 in bonds for the purpose
OF erecting capital building at Phe-
nix has passed both branches of Con-
gress, been signed by the President and
is now law. This may be said to be
the "bond age" If there is any project
of doubtful utility, bonds are issued
and sold. As rule they are to run so
long that those who issue them do not
expect to live to see them paid, and
have no hesitancy in saddling heavy
Indebtedness on these who are to come
after them, without taking into consid-
Grafton whether or not they will be able
to meet these obligations they had no
voice IN creating. Such is selfshness,
