Pima County Bonds Valid.

It was based upon a petition for man damus upon the governor and other territorial officers to compel them to issue bonds in lieu of those original lv issued in 1888. The supreme court of the territory denied this petition, but the opinion of the federal supreme court. which was handed down today, reverses this de eision and remands the case for fur ther proceedings in compliance with the original petition. The opinion of the court is based upon the auth ority of an act of congress of June 6. 1896

Presidents Philippine Proclamation.

Presidents Philippine Proclamation.
 President MeKinleF has issued a proclamation to the Philippines which will immediately be made public on the islands as far as pos sible. The important features of the proclamation are As follows: The destruction of the Spanish feet in the harbor of Manila by the United States naval squadron com handed by Rear Admiral Dewey, followed by the reduction of the city and the surrender of the Span ish forces practically effected the conquest of the Philippine Islands and the suspension of Spanish sov- ereignty therein.
 With signature of the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain by their respective pleni- potentiaries in Paris on the 10th in- stant, and as the result of the vic tories of the American arms the future control, disposition and gov eminent of the Philippine Islands are eeded 10 the United States. Ia tul6llment of the rights of sover- eighty thus acquired, and the re- sponsible obligations of government thus assumed, actual occupation and administration of the entire group of ;he Philippine Islands be- comes immediately necessary, and the military government heretofore maintained by the United States in the city, hsTbOr and bay of Manila IS to be extended with all possible dispatch to the whole of the ceded territory.
 In performing this duty the mill tary commander of the United States is enjoined to make known to the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands that in succeeding to the sovereignty of Spain in seVering the former political relations of the in- habitants and establishing a new political power, the authority of the United States IS to be exerted for the sovereignty of persons and prop ersy of the people of the islands and for the confirmation of all their private rights and relations. It will be the duty of the commander of the forces of occupation to announce and proclaim in the most public manner that we come, not as in vaders, or coDquerers, but as friends to protect the natives in their homes, in their employments and in their personal and religious rights.

bling, no depression of spirits, only de termination to hold on, and n wish for support, although, while they did not know it, there was none to give them. All the infantry and cavalry were on the front line and the only help to be looked for was the coming of Lawt0n down the Fl Clancy read to threaten the Spauiards on the unprotected side of Santiago
 LAwton moved up, it's true, but not until after midnight and then unseen by the Spaniards, until he reached their piekets, about GOO yards from the right of the cavalry line on the crest, as be- fore stated. There he halted, and sent back to Shafter for renewal of orders Calls for support for the troops in- trenched on the San Juan ridge had, of course. reached Shafter at various times during the afternoon and evening of the lst, and he told Lawson that as things stood the quickest way to get in position in aid of Wheeler's line was to counter march to the crossroads southwest of Fl Caney and come back to Fl Poso, thence to San Juan ridge
 Nothing definite has yet been made known as to the strength of the Span iards on San Juan ridge. The garrison of Santiago is placed at 10, 900 before the much talked of Pando's column reached there. 1t would have been pos sible to have sent half the garrison or more from the main trenches to San Juan ridge after it was apparent that the Americans were to attack there in force. Why it was not done only the Spanish generals can explain. A French officer in the Spanish service told one of his countrymen in the Third cavalry that the SpaniaTds wHre amazed at the persistenOy of the Americans in push ing forward sgainst San Juan ridge in the face of the pitilets fire which was poured at them al the crossing and while ascending the slopes. He also said that when the Spanish troops were driven over the crest of the ridge the men in their second line had to hold their fire for fear of killing friends, and that that resulted in damOralizing them quite as much as those driven out Of the front trenches were dsmOralized by be- ing compelled to beat a retreat; hence there could be no attempt at eoun- ter charge, just at the time when It would be more effective-that is. at the very moment of Ameri'sn success 1t Is well known to fighting men that the very moment of success and high exul tstiou is the most dangerous for the as saulting column. STei gth is exhausted in the effort to take a position, but once the victo1s have time 10 get breath and come to full realization that the posi- ton is theirs they will die in their tracks before giving it up. Every mo ment that the Spaniar5s delayed ooun- ter attack on San Juar ridge made the Americans 90 much stronger.

A Transaction in Decks.

A passion for old furniture general ly communicates itself to the collec- tors friends. Thus of a young lawyer in Worcester, who has good taste in antiques, the Gazette records that his enthusiasm has infected many persons
 sometimes with saddening results. It was no more than natural that when the lawyers friend, the professor, sold his desk, which was of ancient design but of doubtful age, and began looking for something better, he should con- suit the young lawyer. The man of law was delightfully."- sympathetic. ''I saw just what you want the other day" ]" he said, but I'm afraid it's gene now I'll keep my eye out for the next few days" Well, if you see anything real ly good" said the professor, ''buy it and hold it for me. It is not safe to let a bargain go too long. Only let me know as soon as you can, so that l won't be buying one, too. It would be a great favor" Not at all, :" said the lawyer "It's a pleasure to buy a good thing, even if you are not to keep it yourself" Tn day or two the pro- lessor received joyful note. The young lawyers mother had found just what the professor wanted-a beauty, one of those rare old bits that they cannot counterfeit, and such a bargain, only ten dollars. The professor was charmed. He immediately sent his check to the young lawyer, with an enthusiastic note of thanks and re- quest to send tip the desk. He was in the hall vixen 1t arrived. He tore of the sacking and inspected his prize. It was his old desk that he had sold few days before for eight dollars and a half.

OB.IECT LESSONS.

A terrible object-lesson was the loss of the magnificent Dea;-Mute building, an object lesson in letters of fire, telling of our folly aud stu pidity. It cannot be said that our legislature, whose duty it was to protect the State against loss by providing means for insurance, was not reminded time and again of it's duty. The board of trustees racom- mended an appropriation for this purpose, and the better part of the press and all sagacious business men always favored it as a wise precautlon against loss. But rec concentrations and advice counted nothing with the general assembly. 1t cost too much and the great State of Arkansas was "able to car. " her own insurance She may be, but she will not be with a few more losses such as we had on Saturday morning.
 While on the subject of our folly n failing to protect orr highest interests in the matter of public buildings, our unprotected State treasury comes to mind. A million dollars might go up in smoke any night or might become the easy prey of the bold burglar. The money should be in the hands of different banks throughout the State, increasing the circulation medium and adding new life and energy to business. Hoarded money is a
