Phoenix cannot be built in a day any more than could ancient Rome but Gfe work can be pushed along a little at all times. There is much to be proud Of in the capital city-more than in most places of it's size, but there arc lots of little things to be ashamed of. We prate of the spirit of western enterprise, which is all right in it's way. but faith without works is dead" and if Phoenix does the work her neighbors will throw the bouquets.

A GOOD SHOWING.

As disclosed in the regular monthly statistics, the situation of the treasury Is a satisfactory one. The govern ments revenues show a gradual in crease. The receipts for August amounted to s49,97S,173, which repre- sented an increase of over S1, 300, 600 as compared with July and of over $8,- 100000 as compared with August last yea. Of the increase over last year the receipts from customs furnish the greatest share. The expenditures for the month amounted to $45, ,522, ,311, which represented a decrease Of ovsr S11,000,000 as compared with those fer the preceding month and of ever S10,- 100000 as compared with the corre- 1pond.ng month of last year. In the list of expenditures the largest item is. of course, that required for the conduct of the war, which is less by over S4, 100000 than was recorded for July. Naval expenditures also show a fali- ing eff.

There is a general concensus of opin- ion regarding the obnCxiousness Of the present school hours. Just why such a system has been adopted no one seems to know. That, however, is a detail. The law is plain on this subject and neither the superintendent ncr the school boards have any business to do otherwise than .ba obey the statutz That the school hours as now fixed are unpopular is agreed Now that the matter has been brought squarely be- fore the public it is the duty of the school authorities to remedy the evil without delay. The Republican hopes to see this done without serious dam age to the dignity of the powers which control the city schools.

THE CANVASS IN KENTUCKY.

The Kentucky campaign continues to develop along very unusual lines. We have never had anything like it in the country before, and probably no other state could produce such cam paign now.
 MT. Goebel, goaded by the attacks on him by the bolting democrats, recently threw discretion to the winds and re- sponded with some of the cOarsest abuse Of his critics ever heard from a man seeking high public office. Even | his friends were amazed. His advisers held up a warning hand immediately. They could not hope to influence him merely by telling him that he was put ting his life in danger, so they added tc that the warning that his death 1 from such a cause would completely wreck his following. That called him to his senses, and he at once put a bridle on his tongue He has not of fended in that way since.
 Among the rank and file of the bolt CTS there was equal anxiety. The fear there was that some of those who had been So furiously assailed by MT. Goe- bel would kill him, and that that, ln- stead of ending the campaign Of the Goebelites, would strengthen it. A new and unoffending man placed at the
  upon the sympathies of tha people and carry the ticket to victory. So these high tempered men were beaought to swallow their personal discomfture for the party's sake.
 This is veritable richness. The mountain feuds are net more original in their line The Goebelites plead with their leader thus: Live for our sakeI If you care nothing for your own life, think of the caus5, and of us! We need you most desperately in our business The bullet that would end you would end the cause" And MT. Goebel responds, Sweet lads, live for you!"
 The bolters plead with those whom Mr. Goebel has denounced: Don't kill him. We have him beaten, and It is better to beat him than to kill him. Don't make a mess of things. For our purposes, he is as good as dead. But a new man in his place might give us trouble" And SC wisdom reigns, and the democratic candidate for governor | of Kentucky still Washington | Star.

ANOTHER WORD TO MIR. BRYAN

The Journal cannot "cCme out foI
 Philippine independence" in the sense that you suggest.
 First-Because it honestly believes that the Philippines would not have in- dependence if left to themselves. but wculc be governed by a military des- pot; that they cannot have greater in dividual liberty than by becoming cit izens Of the United States.
 SecCnd-Bacause it honestly believes
 that the Philippine islands will be of
 great advantage to the United States that as civilization moves westward and our trade with Asia develops as it is developing, the islands will be of 1mmsnse value as depots and distrib- uting points in addition to their in trinsic wealth; that we cannot afford to overlook material advantage, as the wealth of country means largely the welfare of it's citizens.
 Third-Beo9use we honestly believe that expansion is good democratic doe Urine, siET5 lt'brings a condition that offers increased opportunity to the masses, and since most Of our eXpans- ion has been done under good demo- cratic presidents.
 Finally, because it honestly believes that the democratic party at present IS seriously injuring it's chances by de- claring against expansion, and is run ming the risk Of returning to it's hope lessly unsuccessful policy of obstruc- tion and opposition for mere opposi- tion's sake that kept it cnt of power for so many years-because the Jour nal thinks that by this policy the de- mocracy will alienate from itself all that is young, ardent, vigorous and progressive in the nation, and prevent many a man from voting for it who in all other things is opposed to McKin- leyism.-N. r.

The lurid controversy going on be- tween the Prescott dailies regarding the establishment of Fort Whippla seems tcl lack a bone of contention. Fort Wnipple is going to be rehabili- tated. Ex-SecEetary Alger has said so, also his successor, Mir. Root. The people, Of Prescott want the post i'm proved and regarrisoned. So does every citizen of the territory. The Journal-Miner Eas published columns in favor of it, as has The Republican and ether territorial newspapers. The Courier states in recent issue that it has always favored the maintenance of the post, and thsre you are. It would appear, that if there was any ground for doubting the sin cerity Of the assurances Of the war de- partment, this unseemly wrangling be- tween home papers would stimulate it. A safer method would be to stop "jow- ering'' and all pull for Whipple.

AMERICAN HEROISM.

As some one whose name Is forget
 ten has remarked, "the heroes are not
 all dead yet" When, on the 30th ult.,
 there was a terrible collision on the
 Erie railroad at Arlington, N. Y. there
 were two examples of remarkable he
 roism.
 George Hull a brakeman on the
 through fast freight, was on the last
 car as the train mounted the steep
 grade near Montclair. Suddenly the
 last two cars stopped, then began to
 slowly move down grade. Th5i coup
 ling had broken. Hull sprang to the
 brake He knew that there wes a passenger train was coming. The two cars were loaded with paving st0nas. As some linemen saw the cars moving slowly by them, they shouted, Jump! You can't stop themi" Not much, I'll stick" he shouted back. The brakes were out of order. At Soho tha grade strikes short level. Hull had succeeded in making the brakes work, and almost stopped the runaways. Here, also, some railroad msn shouted to him, Jump, you fool!" No" he cried, "I'll stick it through!" He could easily have jumped then, for the cars were running slowly. Again they came to a steep down grade. Just as the runaway freight cars struck the Little Falls local Brakeman Hull jumped, and was bruised and cut, but not seriously wounded. One person was kiAleSms. scnSsaaz HseIe iniurad. Many more would have been killed had 1t not bsen for the self abnegation of Hero Hull.
 The first man to be pulled out of the wreck was Stephen Kicker, baggage man. He was badly scaldsd, and his leg was broken, but as the rescuers carried him away he shoutad: Send 1 back your red flag! Don't forget it! | Save the train behind!" In his pocket | they found a pouch containing s1,500. | Put that bag in somebody's safe,'' he | said, that's the company's money" Broken, bruised and scalded, his first | thought was fer the safsty of others, | his second of his duty to his employers. |
 Major w. A. Stokes of the Twenty | third regiment, N. G. N. Y, Of Brook i lyn, was badly injured, his head being i cut open and his right shoulder dislo- | cated, but he declined aid until all the l injured were rescued from the ruins. When urged to go to the nearest shel- ter he said: 'sNct wE-l:. there is a man 9n that wreck. am worth a dozen dead men, and I am going to. help"
 We need net wonder that American soldiers are recognized as the bravest of the brave. Their heroism was latent, like kodak picture cn a roll of film, and only needed an opportu- nifty to develop it.
 Another noteworthy illustration Of self sacrificing heroisn was manifested recently by the Rt R=v F. D. Hunt ington, bishop Of Central New York, one of the best beloved and most hon cred Of men. It was proposed to cele- brate the thirtieth anniversary of his elevation to the Episcopate, but he vetoed the proposition, asking his friends to give to the needy churches ] the monsy they had designed to raise I for the celebration in his honor.
