WAIT AWHILE.

Talk about reducing the army and
 navy had best be postponed a bit. We
 are not out of the woods. Although the protocol has been signed and actual hostilities have ceased there still re- mains the negotiating of the definitive treaty of peace. That stage of the business will have a very great interest for a not over friendly Europe. Twice within recent years, countries victori- ous in war have been held up" and re- quired to relinquish their conquests
 by combinations of the powers. This country is not in the same case or class
 with Japan-still less with Turkey but we cannot be absolutely certain that there will be no interference be- tween us and Spain until the danger of interference is a thing of the past
 Then, there will be Cuba to be paci- fled and regenerated-to say nothing
 of Porto Rico and far-off Manila. We
 are much more likely to under esti-
 mate the difficulties and requirements
 of that Cuban contract of ours at the
 start-off than to exaggerate them.
 As for the war taxes" When the
 time comes. everybody will be glad tc
 get rid of the vexatious stamps, and
 there are other reductions that will be in order. But the tax on beer should be kept right where it is, howsoevel violently the brewers and their com

 At the time of the Armenian massa- cres two years ago he was the only for eign representative who ventured to give public expression to his senti- ments of horror, and he even went so far as to take the sultan to task with so much indignation in his utterances that the commander of the faithful finally rose from his seat and rushed from the audience room crying "Kiafi kiafi,' which may be translated, For Gods sake stop" Ever since then the sultan has been endeavoring to obtain the recall of this too plain-spoken dip lomat, who is reported to have talked to him as he had never been talked to before in his life.

THE FALL OUTLOOK.

Indications are not lacking that the wave of prosperity which swept over the west last year under the impulse of the boom in agricultural products has reached the east. The farmers who enriched themselves through the high prices of wheat and corn have not only paid off their mortgages, but have bought out the stocks of their local merchants, and the merchants are Hooking to the east to renew their stocks The western consumer has not only enough money to settle his old accounts, but to pay for the new things he wants; and now he wants not only necessities but luxuries. The east is ready to supply the demand, and the early fall trade has already opened.
 There is a substantial basis for this apparent revival. Two years of pros perity have set the farmers on their feet, and a third prosperous year has come. The wheat crop that is now harvesting in the west is the biggest on record; and while young MT. Letter has dropped out of sight and Letter ST., is mortgaging his property to pay the price of the young mans folly, the
 price of wheat still holds up and the farmers are on top. The western good times are spreading, as it was inevit- able that they would, and the prospect of the fall trade is rosy in consequence

CIRCULATION COUNTS.

If there is an advertiser in this town who doubts our asser- lion that the circulation of The Republican is double that of all the other Phoenix dailieS con- bined, we shall take pleasure in showing him how he may verify it. The books of this establish ment, our bills for white paper everything, in short. that bears on the question of circulation, will be placed at his disposal. It is an easy matter to get at the facts. The Republicans circula- ton has reached such satisfac- tory proportions that we have every reason to request advertis- CTS to investigate it. An adver- tiser who pays The Republican twice or three times as much for advertising space as any other Phoenix paper will charge him has a right to know the basis of our rates. We shall be glad to explain it. We court the closest scrutiny The success of The Re publican is so far beyond our early expectations that we feel like letting the public know all about its phenomenal growth.

LARGE RAILROAD DEAL.
The MoBon Route Absorbed by the
Ingalls, Syndicate

The purchase of the Louisville New Al
hapy and Chicago Railway, more popu-
ia-l-s lzrnn1fr- the Monon Route By NJ
E. ingalls,, president OF the Cleveland.
Cincinnati, Chicago and ST. Louis, gen.
orally known as the Big Four. and Ches-
apeake and Ohio roads, adds something
like six hundred miles TO the Big Four
system. The Monon extends from Louis
willie, KY, on the south to Michigan
City, Ind, on Lake Michigan, on the
north. A branch line extends from Chi
cago to Indianapolis thus paralleling the
Big Four between those two points. The
Big Four also has line entering Louis
VILE over its own system from India
napolis to North Vernon. Ind, thence 10
the Kentucky metropolis. over the tracks
of the Baltimore, Ohio and Southwestern.
The purchase of the Monon system has
no bearing whatever on the opera tious Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio. The road has
feen purchased by the Big Four system,
or rather, the Ingalls, syndicate. and over
this line the Chesapeake and Ohio has,
for the past ten years, had car service
alliance, giving ii undisturbed car facili-
ties into both Chicago and St. Louis.
Under the new arrangements the Big
Four trains Will now enter Chicago at the
Polk Street station, used by the Monon,
instead of the Illinois Central station or
the Lake Front.
