The governor of Indiana says that
large tracts of land in that state have
been exhausted and abandoned,
amounting in Il single county to 10, 900
acres. By deep plowing and proper
fertilization, those lands would aga;u
become fruitful. The richest silver
veins in England were found orly
two yards beyond where the original
prospector abandoned his work as

are the not-quite- A little

WHY UNCLE SAM IS HAPPY.

Every statement that comes from
the treasury department gives evidence
of the improved condition of national
finances. The days of deficits have
passed and the sun of successive sur
pluses shines on the land. The reasons
for a peoples happiness are reflected in
the figures of national receipts and ex-
penditureS.
For the first seven days of October
the national receipts were $40, ,614,
while the expenditures were only 49,,
.000 Last year the figures for the
corresponding period were $S,S13, $50
and $11, 100000, respectively. This shows
how the tide has turned.
IN 1898 the receipts for the fiscal year
to October were S134, 2z1, 455. against
$3.50, 764, 1870 to the same date this year.
Last year for the same period the eX-
penditures were $195, 1928, ia, against
$14S S92, 774 this year. Here there is Il
gain of almost $40, 900, 600 in receipts for
a little over three months, and d de-
crease of over $4,000 600 in expendi-
lures.
A net improvement of $67, 000C00 on
receipts and expenditures for the first
quarter of 1S99-1900 is enough to make

The Pennsylvania State League of
Republican Clubs will do civil service
reform no harm by it's resolution de-
nouncing the reform as opposed to the
free institutions of our government. "
1t will advertise the fact that the state
league of republican clubs in Pennsyl-
vania has degenerated and does not re-
fleet the judgment and tendency of the
party. The national republican plat
form has declared again and again in
favor of civil service reform and the
Pennsylvania republican platform has
always expressed the same judgment
when the question has been touched on
at all. There is no one opposed to civil
service reform except those who want
Office without having to prove their
qualifications for it and those who
want to use appointments to office to
stimulate and reward those who serve
them in politics. The Pennsylvania
State League of Republican Clubs has
not answered the purpose for which it
was organized and does not speak for
the republican party.-Philadelphia

AN ADVERTISING SCHEME.

| The effort of a New York democratic
newspaper to embarrass President Nc
F<inIey by presenting to him a huge
petition asking for interference on the
part of our government in the Trans
vaal matter will amount to nothing
more thar an advertisement What
ever the merits of the case may be,
there is no question about Great Brit
aims suzerain rights over the Trans
vaal. For that reason outside inter-
ference would be impertinent. But for
the United States to interfere in any
way would be something more than
impertinent, it would be decidedly
against the interests of our govern
ment. We ask European nations not
to interfere in matters pertaining to
the Independent governments on this
continent. But if we undertake any
kind of interference in such matters in
Europe or Africa we would act greatly
against our own interests. And an Of
fer of mediation between Great Britain
and the Transvaal over which the for
mer has suzerain rights, would prac-
tically be interference. Moreover, the
administration does not require a
newspaper petition to lead it to take
action on any question where it would
be the part of wisdom to act.-Phila-

Why Is it that the newspapers thai
from the people are
AS TO invariably coarse and
PEOPLES insulting in their treat
ORGANS. ment of men and af-
fairs? Is it because the
people are coarse of fiber and demand
bad language and bad manners? No,
indeed. The American people are bet
ter informed today than any other
body in the world. They require no
special organs to lay down rules of
conduct or to protect them from the
agencies of modern civilization. The
clean. respectable, God-fearing, up-to-
date press meets all their require
nents. The presence of papers that
profess to be run in the interest of the
people alone is due entirely to the
demagogues and cheap Johns with
which Journalism abounds- If these
prosper it is because of the support
accorded to them by self-seeking poll
ticians, and business men who fool
ishly assume that it is better to give
them patronage and thus propitiate
them than to run the risk of being
roasted" or placed in false light
before the communities in which they
live. We have in Arizona several so
called newspapers that assume to be
champions of the people" Not one
of them can carry on an argument.
Not one of them knows the difference
between argument and abuse. The
person or the newspaper or the or
ganization that does not agree with
them is Immediately subjected to per-
sonal abuse of the vilest kind. This
kind of journalism has had a deter
rent effect upon the territory's prog
ress. The sooner this class of papers
is stamped out, the better it will be
for Arizona.

speeches in favor of postponing action

Mt. Pleasant was the scene of another
killing last night, as a result of which
w. II. Canada lies dead with seven stabs
in his body, and Charley Richards and a
man by the name of Harris are under
arrest charged with murder.
All of the parties connected with the
affair are white men, and the facts as
obtained from reliable sources are as fol-
lows:
Canada formerly ran boarding house
in Mt Pleasant, where Richards and
Harris boarded 1t is claimed by the
two men that when they went away from
the house they left some of their be-
longings there, and that last night about
s o'clock they went to tent on the
Howard Phosphate property near Mt.
Pleasant, where Canada was staying, to
geS their property.
The men say that Canada assaulted
them with pick handle, bruising them
pretty badly about the head, and that
they were forced to kill him in self de
fense.
Canada was stabbed seven times with
pocket knife one of the stabs being
inflicted in the head and six in the back.
There was only one witness to the
killing.
Canada died shortly afterwards, and
Richards and Harris went to Mt. Pleas
ant and surrendered themselves to the
officials

over the remains, the result of which has

Richards and Harris will doubtless be
brought to town and placed in jail this
evening, unless it is decided that the
case is a bailable one and the men give

Richards had been paying improper at

difficulty originated over that
Richards is about thirty years of age
and formerly lived at this place and is
well known here. Several years ago he
