ABOUT CAPITOL CONSTRUCTION.

ABOUT CAPITOL CONSTRUCTION.
 Our contemporary's capitol addi- ton information is a little away from the facts. It ayers that Capi tol addition is owned by Nj. H. Sherman, that Sherman is endorser for Editor Dunbar on . note for the purchase of the Gazette and has sent the latter to Washington to work for the Capitol construction bill. MT. Sherman does not own the Capitol addition at all. If he has any interests or holdings there they are very small, probably less than Editor Dunbar's. The latter owns . block in the addition but does not own the Gazette as that was purchased by c. P. Leitch.
 Our contemporary says that "the people of Arizona are opposed to this measure and all papers advocat- ing it are fully aware of the fact" l" As the people have never had an opportunity of giving expression to their opinions, on the subject, the JoURNAL-MMER acknowledges that it is not aware that they are op- posed to it. So far as 1t is con- cerned it would not object to its be- ing left to a vote of the people. If it is not a good business proposition the JoURNAL-MNER would not care to see a capitol built.
 The only argument yet seen in opposition to it is the fear expressed that some one who owns lots in that vicinity might bs benefited by it. This is too narrow minded 6 view to take of . public enterprise to oppose it. If the territory can secure increased benefits and accom- modations, with but a trihing, or perhaps, no expense, it does not not seem to be bad business propo- sitioR, and we have faith enough in the good judgment of the people of Arizona to believe that if it were demonstrated that a capitol build ing would be a benefit, rather than an expense to the territory, they would support the measure, regard less of the fact that a few town lots in the vicinity might appreciate in value.
 Even from the narrow minded view in regard to the lot business, the owners of Capitol addition gave more to the territory than they will ever be benefited by the raise on their present holdings of real estate in that addition.

artificial means. This being in an age when no gold was mined or existed in Europe. He kept his own secret, but at his death, in 1850, he left 100000 rix dollars in his fam fly treasury. Yet another instance, that of Emperor Rudolph II, of Germany, who also made gold, and at bls death, in 1880, he left sixty cwt of silver and eighty-four cwt, of gold.

Stockmen complain that the law in regard to saving hides of slsugh- tered animals is not being observed by some and that sufficient care is not always exercised by certain par ties in the matter of selecting ami mals for slaughter. In other words that cattle other than those owned by the people killing them are often slaughtered and no record kept of hides, brands or marks. Animals are also frequently stolen bodily and rebranded. In fact one of the greatest difficulties stock men have to contend with are the cattle thieves, who prey upon their neigh bors. The law in every respect in regard to stealing cattle should be strictly enforced.

 Before the passage of the Me Kinley law not pound of tin plate was made in the United States. Last year we made 446,9S2,0O0 pounds of this product, which was about 10 per ceat of all that was consumed in the United S ates. We imported from abroad 244,0OO,OO0 pounds and exported 139,nOO,000 pounds, so that our net imports amountad to but about l05,0OO.0OO pounds. What has become of the 'tin- plate liarsi"
 Our contemporary expresses grave alarm this morning lest the r"pub- lican party captures democratic nominating conventions this year aud thereby will virtually control lhe next legislature. It says this scheme is even now in progress of incuba- tion. In the next line it comforts itself by saying that ''the rrpI' li-| cans of Arizona as we'll as the demo crats are opposed to this gang.
 It does not take a man of very keen perception to see that the % called home rule bill is democratic
 populist measure. The men who are engaged in pushing it never adEo- cated any measure from any motives of beneftting the public. but have always had an eye single to their own interests and advancement. The pro bono publico cloak n which they have clothed this so cal.-.. home rule measure, Is simplg la- tended as a mask to conceal their own motives.
 The New York World has been excluded from Boss Croker's Demo cratic club, because it is 'an im- moral and defamatory sheet" While many will agree with that character ization of the paper, everybody . knows that Croker's real objection to it was the persistency with winch . it insisted upon asking "where Croker got iti" just previous to his departure for Europe flor his several years ago.
 Every member of the Cabinet wants the civil service rules modified in some particular; more than one hundred republican members of the House want them modified, and we are quite sure that three-fourths of the republicans of the country are of the same opinion; also, that whether there is legislation on the subject or not, President Mckinley will modify those rules.
 Our contemporary bewails the Iact that the JOURNAL MINER failed 70 give a column or two of double leaded editorial on the Iail- Ire of the committee on territories to the admission of Ari- sona as a state. Beyond what was aid, a brief announcement of the act, there is little to add.

zEFLEcr THEIR OWN CHARACTERS

REFLECT THEIR OWN CHARACTERS
 The Tucson Star publishes the following very correct excerpt con corning . certain class of people who exist everywhere, and who occa- sionally make themselves conspicu ous in Arizona:
 When you hear . person declare that such and such 6 person is in favor of any given measure, because it may be to the personal advantage of the advocate, or that they oppose Q given measure or object, because it may prove a disadvantage to them, put it down as a rule that will admit of rare exceptions, that they believe the person of whom they speak, or pretend to judge, are sctusted by motives which would sctuate them were they in the place of the persons of whom they speak. This fact can be applied with force to those newspapers which can not conceive how Q person or other journals can disagree from them, except from selfish motives. They show themselves in . still more un- envisble light when they take it for granted, and charge others with opposing measures, who have not given SD expression of opinion on the subject. But they conceive that it would be to their personal sdvan- tsge to defeat the measure, hence according to their own views, that man is all for himself ss against the community and the world. They take it upon themselves to see the standard of action of others by their own pint measure. This fact is we'll illustrated by some of the so called home rule frothings of those who don't seem to have the slightest conception of what the home rule bill provides for, or what home rule as set forth in the con- gressionsl bill means"
