DR., RACE tried last night to induce
the school board to use the same tao
tics it brought into play not so very
long ago to avoid open competition.
Then it was competition in plans
merely. This time it was in the mat
ter of awarding the contracts for the
construction of the school buildings.
Mr.. Pew, as usual, agreed with Presi-
dent Race, and it was only the deter
mined opposition of Mr.. Shelton and
Mr.. Foster to such move that caused
the board to agree to allow open COM
petition. Mr.. Putnam asked DR.. Race
1t he wanted to shut out the smaller
contractors entirely. DIR. Race replied
that he did, and that he knew pretty
we'll who ought to have the contract,
if the work was to be done right with
out constant supervision. DIR. Race
talks we'll, but he must use up great
many hats in the course of year.

GOVERNOR SAVERS has sent another
message to the legislature asking for
the extension of the state school text
book law so as to cover cities of over
ten thousand people. The sentiment
of the inhabitants of every city in the
state is unmistaksble. They are all
unalterably opposed to the law as ap-
piled to the cities, while they do not
object to tie continuance in country
districts and small towns. The people
of this city are vitality interested in the
proposition, and although our views as
a community have been officially ex-
pressed through the school board there
seems to be no disposition on the part
of the governor to consider the wishes
of the cities at all. There should be q
most determined protest against this
outrage. It is threat to inf]ict upon
the city of Ell Paso and other cities in
the state q species of state control of
which we entirely and unequivocally
disapprove.

Minneapolis Times. e
AS pointed out by the Washington
correspondent of The Times in yester
days dispatches, one of the chief ad.
vantsges urged in favor of the adop.
tion of the voting machine will have
the effect of retarding its general
| adoption. The machine, as tested in
New York and Massachusetts,, records
the vote accurately and quickly, has
the returns footed up when the polls
close and renders unnecessary three
fourths of the clerical help now con-
sidered indispensable in the conduct
of an election 1t may reduce expenses

larger precincts can be accommodate
And there is where machine collides
with machine" The business of
judging and 'clerking" elections pro-
vides easy money for political workers.
It ia a. job that politicians find q great
convenience in the payment of party
debts. The laws are made by the pol
iticians, and there you are. Almost
any legislature would struggle hard
against popular sentiment before au-
thorizipg the use of this mechanical
Australian ballot. It Is the old story
of the displacement of hand labor by
machinery, but there is less sympathy
for the workingmen displaced than is
usually the scase.
Politicians may protest with
all their short sighted We
hemence, but when the
utility of the voting machine has been
fully demonstrated-and that day is
not far distant-the people will de-
mand its adoption and the politicians
will have to climb on the band wagon
or get out of the road. Elections are a
most burdensOme expense, and if their
cost can be lessenedswith no other dis
advantage than that accruing to those

lie will see that the reduction is made.

The Mexican Herald says that Diaz
has made Mexico q centralized and
progressive nation, and overcome the
mistake of the federal system of gov
eminent which was adopted by the
early republicans" That is the secret
of his power-the extreme oentraliza-

from being patterned after our own,
that is no reason for saying that it is
not as permanent.

Eighty thousand dollars in cash was
paid out today through the Kingman
bank. for the Mollie Gibson and Bull
lion Beck, adjoining mine at Chloride,
by E. J. Carter of Chicago, to Bob
johnson, Mrs. Bayless, Ed Thompson,
John Flynn and George Fisher. The
Mollie Gibson was owned by Johnson,
Thompson and Mrs. Bayless and the
price paid for this property was eleven
thousand dollars. The balance of the
money. seven thousand dollars, was
paid to Flynn and Fisher for the Bull
lion Beck. Both these mines have been
pretty well developed and have paid
dividends from the grass roots. The
new owner will erect a mill and board
ing house and put over one hundred
men at work Immediately. Mr.. Carter
is a brother of the Montana senator
and is well spoken of as a practical
mining man with an abundance of cap
ital behind him to put these mines on
a paying basis, and we predict for him
great success.-Mohave Miner.

YELLOW FEVER SERUM.
II Success 1t Will BE Rough on the
Horses.

H0rSeS.
Writing to his paper, the Greenville
News, from New York, under date of
July 8, Mr.. A. B. Williams, sends the
following:
I went over to the quarantine sta
ton on Staten Island today to find out
about the yellow fever cases and the
new serum there. DR.. Doty believes
be can vaccinate with his serum
against yellow fever just as we inocu-
late against smallpox. He gets his
virus by inoculating a horse with yell
low fever germs more than year and
then drawing off the animals blood
and injecting dilution of it into hu.
man veins. The man he is working
his scheme on seems to be getting we'll,
and if he does recover, the serum bus.
mess will have boom. But it will be
rough on horses. One healthy horse
in two years will yield only enough to
inoculate so patients. AS there will
be some hundreds of thousands of
people to be treated yearly, it looks as
if a good many horses will have to 60.
But with the development of motive
power it may be that presently we
will have no use for the horse but as
an unwilling breeder of serum. The
process is said to cause little pain to
the animals, and the doctor says they
are as good as ever after rest; but l
wouldn't care to have a horse satur.
ated with yellow jack around me.
Maybe if they keep on experiment
ing on this line with horses they will
find some way of injecting solution
of horse sense into the human family.
I would like to get few gallons of it
and syringe about four feet long and

irregular cactus hedges, and on the tops
of the futed gray green columns three
or four buzzards perched motionless. On

HE SAW THE PoINT.-A former at
torney general of the United States, in
a recent article, tells the following an-
ecdote of Mr.. Justice Miller of the
federal supreme court:
Judge Miller was very agreeable
man socially; but in the later years of
his life became somewhat impatient
upon the bench. He was no orator
himself and seemed to have an aver
sion to all attempts at oratory in court.
l have seen him on more than one oc-
casion disjoint with sharp questions a
beautifully prepared speech with which
an ambitious orator expected to charm
and captivate the court. One midsum-
mer day, as it is said, he was holding
court in a western state, and lawyer,
whom we will call Brown, was ad-
dressing him in a long, rambling
speech. The judge listened and famed
himself and fdgeted about on the
bench for some time, and, finally, lean
ing over his desk, said in an audible
whisper, "Confound it Brown, come to
the point"
"INhat point ?' inquired the some
what astonished lawyer.
"Any point" responded the judge
and, though the sequel does not appear,
it is probable that there was rapid
condensation of talk in that courtroom
after this short colloquy.

A Family Greatly Blessed.

Many years ago, when oneness Of in
terest characterized the relations be-
tween employers and house servants,
the cook at the Virginia home of the
historic Harrisons was negro named
George. Master of his craft, George
was stately and even pompous in man
ner and speech, and an incident which
illustrates the mingled dignity and con-
ceit of his character has place in the
family records. A family festival in
honor of an anniversary had filled the
Harrison house with guests for several
days and tested the abundant larder to
what seemed to be it's utmost possible
ties. On the very day that saw the de-
parture of the company communlca-
tion was received by Mrs. Harrison, in
forming her that the presidential party
might be expected on the morrow. She
summoned George and impaired the
startling news. He met it like an ebony
Gibraltar. Every we'll, madam. your
orders shall be obeyed." +"
"But, George, can we be ready for
them? There will be about 80 persons,
including the president Of the United
States and his cabinet.
Gibraltar relaxed measurably. The
lady's apprehensions appealed to his
chivalric heart. 1t was his duty to allay
them.
"Very true, madam. But we must
bear in mind that we are greatly blessed
in our cook"
1t is unnecessary to add that George
nobly sustained the sublime vaunt.-
