The expert telegrapher is
said to be doomed. A printing
telegraph machine has been in
vented that will do the work of
six operators and can be run by
a boy or girl. The machine can
be manufactured for $40. It is
said the Western Union com
pany will take the machines as
fast as they can be turned out,
and will save a million dollars
a month when all it's Offices are
equipped with them. And what
is to become of the people
thrown out of employment by
such inventions?

There is a dark history connect

will show a mass of political
rottenness, never equalled in

More Valuale Than the Discovery of
Continent.

Hon. W. G. Whitmore, of val
ley, concluded his paper on
1.-The Beet Sugar Industry be-
fore the recent session of the
Farmers National congress at
Fort Worth as follows:
"a full development of the
beet sugar industry in America
would be more valuable than
the discovery of a new CONT
nent and furnish gainful en-
ployment to as many of our cit
liens as do these sugar cane is
lands to their dark skinned in
habitants, who have no more
conception of the ideas of the
Anglo-Saxon race than COW
has of literature. There never
was before in the history of any
country so valuable thing to
be SO easily and naturally pro-
duced as beet sugar producing
with us, because we step at
anCe into the inheritance of a
century of European labor.
This is not an opportunity that
will repeat itself, as there is no
other staple possible to our lat
itude that we do not now pro-
duce in excess.
cit seems to me that this Wit
al question of the sugar produc-
ton of our country is of para
mount Importance in itself, and
that it is, moreover, the polar
star which clearly points the
path of duty to our own people
and country, in this, the great
est emergeny our republic has
yet had to face"

The estimated gold production
for 1893 as made by the director
of the mint places Arizona S
product at less than SO, 500, 600,
says the Arizona Star. This is
less than one-half of our gold
product, probably only one-third
if the gold contained in our cop
per output is considered. The
Commonwealth gold mine alone
produced over $1,000, 1000, if the
reported product is reduced 80
per cent. The Verde copper
mine is a great gold producer.
The Fortuna has reached nearly
100000 per month output dur
ing the year. The Congress and
a score of other gold mines have
produced large volumes of gold
during the year, which will ag
gregate more than the reported
production. The Washington
authority had better try again
on it's estimates of Arizona S
gold output for 1898, and our
legislators should see that they
pay their just proportion of the
expenses Of the government that
protects them and their prop
erty.

The supreme court of the Uni

that S289, 963 in bonds issued by
Pima county in 1854, for build
ing a railroad from Tucson to
Globe; are legal The opinion
of the court is based on the au-
thority of the act of Congress of
June6, 1896, which law validated
the P. & A. G.. bonds. The Tue
son and Globe railroad was the
purest fake, as only three miles
of the road was built. The
bonds we're issued and placed in

The present legislature has an
excellent opportunity to distin-
guish itself and make a record
for it's personel that will form
some of the brightest pages in
the history of the territory.
There is so much needed legisla-
ton, so many defective laws to
amend, that it is impossible to
enumerate them. But about the
first thing that should claim the
attention of our law makers is
the revenue law. It should be
amended in some way to equal
ize taxation. The person who
owns the least, under the pres
ent system, pays more taxes in
proportion to the value of his
property than do those who are
possessed of millions. Accord
iHs to the Jerome News the Uni
ted Verde Copper Go. produced
100000 pounds of fine copper
during the past year. Copper
sold at an average of II cents
per pound during 1898. At this
figure the copper produced from
that mine brought the owners
81, 400, 600, and it pays taxes on
an assessed valuation of 1927, :
900. It is said the ore carries
more than enough gold and sill
yer to pay working expenses,
and this 4,400, 900 can be put
down as clear profit. Can any
one consistently claim the own
ers of that mine pay their just
proportion of the expenses of
the government that protects
them in the enjoyment of their
property? Are the owners of
that mine any better than the
men who toll and sweat and lose
their health III underground
drifts and tunnels, and from
whose toll they are enabled to
live in luxurious ease and com
fort? Yet, if those miners, by
industry and frugality, is ena-
bled to build home for himself
and family, worth $500 or $500,
it is assessed and he must pay
taxes on about it's full value.
Where is the Justice of such q
law? There are a good many
other mines in the territory in
the same boat with the United
Verde. If a just assessment of
the value of all property in the
territory could be had, the ag-
gregate would foot up $130, 600, :
600 instead of $30,000,000 and
the rate Of taxation would de
crease in a corresponding ratio.
Capital would flow into the ter
ritorv seeking investment. The
moor could clOthe their children
more comfortably and live a lit
tie better.

with the servants of British Subjects

anu Mataafa people 81 each.
DR.. Raffel, the German president of

apologized for boycotting the British
third-claSs cruiser Porpoise and for in
sulting the chief justice and Malietoas
lawyer while they were guests on board
the Porpoise.
landing party from the Porpoise,
ready with machine guns, was, there
fore not sent ashore, though plan to
make an attack on Mulinuu had been
all arranged. Several of the Mataafas
have died of wounds, including a Wo-
man who was shot in the breast. There
is much indignation at the act of the
provisional government in keeping in
exile prisoners whose only offense is
loyalty. The house Of Chief Sumanua,
whose bravery in saving life during the
historical hurricane, was rewarded by
the Americans with the present of a
and the whaleboat stolen. Sumanua
is still in exile.
The German consul continues to pro-
tect the Germans from the jurisdiction
of the supreme court but Herr Groves
muhl paid $50 for contempt of court
when the court advertised the sale of
his property. Herr Grovesmuhl re-
mains at his consulate, fearing arrest,
and having to serve a sentence of 100
he is also afraid of being arrested on
the charge of drunkenness.
DR.. Raffel has been adjudged guilty
of contempt of court, but has refused
TO come forward for sentence. He was
formally arrested without force. but
sought the protection of Herr Rose, the
German consul.
Lieutenant Won Bulon. a former Off
Ger in the German army and organizer
