THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

The naval engagement off the coast of the Philippine islands between the Ame"ican and Spanish squa,lrons, with such q decisive victory for the stars and the larticuiar location, history, area, etc., of the Philippines. They were dis. covered in 1921 by Magellan; they con stiluie an archipelago in the south east oi Asia ard comprises more than l200 isiands Witl total area, of more than l50,000 square miles, and population of over 5,0o0,u00.
 These islands have been under the Spanish crown for more than three cen turies and the inhahitan ts have for more than a century been in constant state of turmoil. They are exceedingly rich in all kinds of t"opicll fruits and plant life aud rich ln the precious. Manila is the principal seap ort city and capital of the islands near which place the naval battle was fought sunday, aud which place Dewey ordered to sur render yesterday to American authority. It has a population of l6O,00o and is Il place of very conside able importance on account of the German and English trading interests. The islands arc ex- ceedingly rich in natural res, urcSs and | wEen tley fall into other hands than
 Srain tliey will be immensely pro- dnctivc and of great commercial i'm. portance.
 The question arises. what will the l United States do with the Philippine islands? Annexation is out oi the ques- ton. To assume d protectorate over them is not in line with the policy of ou, govern ment. I. is probable we will hold them as security for any indem. nifty we may lay against Spiin on ac- count of the war and other incidents. i These islands will be mole security fDr many millions of dellars indemnity. England, Russia. Germany or France would he pleseed to c ,ch take a few of tlsA aud nay the bill One thing is certain, they will pass from Spanish control, as she has demonstrated her utter incapacity to coonize, develop or gover tiiem.--Tucton Star.

WERE 1t possible 10 work silver mines at profit at least 5000 more men could be placed at work in the mines of Butte al, ne, while there would be phenom- eial revival in tlie abandoned silver camps that wonld give employment to an army oi idle men in the east. IL would mean momentum to the isdus trial life of the west that would be ire sistabie, and the creation of Il marke, for eastern cereals and manufactures that would revive the dropping form of the struggling masses of acountiy held in Financial bondage. While the West. ern Mining World is not political organ it recognizes that the most i'm. portant branch of the mining industry in this state is now dependent upon political forces for an existence. The single standard policy has crushed the industry; opposition to this policy will alone revsve it. Under the circuln. ttouSCe SNt'y uidH lONdI lO bne tiltcTeslS of Montana, dependent upon the devcl sinlent of our mineral resources, oush to throw hls il, fuence toward the speedy o,fecii.n of the illomened policy of ruHn ilas has filled ti,,' mineral belts oi Montana with smoktless smokestack- ard abandoned mining shafts. Every sep. political or o,l,.rwlse, that wi'l rcvolu,ion.xe the ea istug order of things and remantle our mountain sides w,th thrift and prosperity should be taken. The moral effect oi unity of pnrposc among silver men cannot be overesti mated. Lack of interest in any propo sition that will aid the silver cause weakens the prospects, of the white metal in the doubtful. states and renders less hopeful the final outcome of the fight for it's restoration as money o! ultimate redemption.-We Western Mlnins World.

 PEOPLE are often hear,i to express wonder as to the almost certain return to Arizona of any person who has ever lived within the borders of our territory for any length of time. He may sell out and leave the territory with his ~1ind fully made up never to live in Ari. xona again, but sooner or later he will again be found in some quarter of the cactus territory trying to get back the money he has spent looking for better country. The writer of this paragraph has travelled f,om the Atlantic 10 the Pacific more than once, and we will say thatla more beautiful sight than the Gila valley now presents, with it's green alfalfa and grain fel,ls, it's beautiful groves of fruit trees, cotton wood and ornamental trees, it's heArds oi fat, con tentedlooking cattle. horses and other domestic animals cannst be fsinl 2ay- where else in the United Statss. And while no one helc may l.c Abe to count his wealth by the lund'cls of thous- ands of dollars, yet therc is lc.s actual poverty and want here than in sny sec. ton of tlie country that we have ever visited. This country is ths lazy mans paradise. A Twin. is sssily made. and no person, be he man or woman, fl possessed of ordinary health and . reasonable amount of industry. need worry about securing the necessities of life, at least. W.il. hundreds oi thsa,. ands of idle men arc tra,apinS ths streete of the great eitics of the north seeking employment; while tena of thousands arc starviny in the manuiac- turing tOwns ond aiinpI district. of the east, or sNhsistinx on charity, here all IS peace and plenty. No blizzsrds, no c! clones, no lockouss, ns strikes, no suffering. Perhaps thvss facts have something to do with the nagnet which holds tight to Arizona all her children who have once lived within her boun. dxries.--Arlsonan.

THE action of Great Britain in decid- ing to treat coal as coniraband of war is likely to prove of substantial assist ance to the United States in it's expect ed war with Spain. It is in line with the marked friendliness of the British people for u IS country which has been manifested in numerous ways of late. The sentiment of the British press and the expressions of British citizens have been alike cordial to this nation through. out the pending controversy in regard to Cuba.
