Not the least interesting feature of
the national political situation is that
the Bryanite papers on
AGAINST the Pacific slope are
THEIR taking up the cry of
INTERESTS. their magogical lead
err against expansion
when their interests lie the other way.
He must be blind indeed who cannot
see that the acquisition of Hawaii and
the Philippines has direct bearing on
the future of the Pacific coast states.
Times on the coast have improved ma
teri9liy since these countries came into
our possession. The increasing de-
mand for American goods in the far
east will stimulate trade on the coast,
and every branch of industry will be
strengthened. The islands which have
come under the control of the United
States themselves furnish a market for
more than 500, 100000 worth of goods
annually and the Philippines are an
open door to a market which purchases
more than a billion dollars worth of
goods annually. The countries lying
adjacent to the Philippines-China.
Japan, Siam, India, Australasia and
the islands of Oceanica annually i'm
port more than n billion dollars worth
of goods, and the remarkable growth
of the commerce of England with that
part of the world since she obtained
Hong Kong as a distributing point for
her commerce, is an indication of what
Manila may become to the United
States. The Asiatic countries are al
ready displaying a disposition to pur-
chase American goods, and with q dis
tributing point lying as Manila does,
as near to their principal cities as New
York is to Havana, the opportunity for
cultivating their trade and increasing
our exports to them is likely to be a
very valuable one.
The democratic papers in Arizona
and California that are bowling against
expansion are making sorry. spectacles
of themselves. But whoever knew
them to be on the right side of any
question?

ELECTRICITY CAPSULES.
One OF These viii Furnish Enough 20
Keep a Light Burning All Night.

In New York the latest thing is elec-
tricity in capsules. y company has
been formed with fifteen million dol
lars capital, to supply power in ten or
twelve-grain oarzules, which can be

suleS will furnish electricity enough.
! to keep a light burning all night. The
assertion is made by a representative
of the company that the light can be
furnished at less than Cne-half of
mill per lamp per hour fer each six
teen candle incandescent globe. The
company intends to sell power at ten
cents an hour for one full horse pow
er. The capsules can be used for pro-
| pelling automobiles, and it is said that
they will take up 50 little room and
weight that the weight of the aubomo-
| bileS will be reduced materially. A
| battery OF the new power, weighing
only 800 pounds, can run an automo-
bile four or five times as long and as
| far as the largest batteries now in use,
which weigh 1000 or 5000 pounds. if
all this can really be done it will revo-
lutio1iZe the automobile industry and
remove one of the strongest objections
| III us uSc-llS great weight. AuIOnO-
biles, as at present made, weigh 1000
pounds and upward, the heavy burden
| thsy are obliged to carry for propul-
sion making it imperatively necessary
to construct the carriages en- the
strongest and heaviest scale. When
one can buy electricity in the same
shape as a box OF quinine pills it will
| be possible to use it fer many purposes
| for which it is unavailable at present.
The president of the company, John
Post, who as the discoverer Of the new
power, says it can be used in the most
remote and isolated PLACES as easily as
| in New York city, and that a farmer
can employ it to heat and light his
house, to draw water, to make butter,
saw wood, run a threshing machine,
drive fans and keep out flies. If it can
do ali this men will no mora think OF
being without capsules than of going

FISTICUFFs ON BATTLEFIELD.

CABLE CARS IN GLASGOW.
One of the Most Complete Systems in
the World.

! Edinburgh is just about to inaugur-
ate the first completed section of a
great installation of cable traction
| traInways. the construction of which
( has been il progress for four years.
Not few citizens think the capital II
Scotland q t-ihe out Of date with its
mechanical traction. but the town
council. having committed itself to
cables, is now bound to see the install
lation through.
When the municipality bought up
the horse street tramways from a pri-
vate company it was unanimously re-
solved by the corporation. with the full
approval Of the citizens, that the over
head electrical tralley system was in
admissible. The consulting engineers
strongly recommended the adoption OF
cables, which in some respects are not
at all unsuitable for Edinburgh. which
partakes of the nature of Il billy town.
But the work has proved in practice
costly. tedious and complicated, mainly
owing to the difficulty experienced in
providing for the working of the differ
ent cables from the same or from sep
arate power stations at functions of
streets and routes where it was neces-
sary-in many cases-that they should
cross each other. This has involved
the construction of great underground
pits at these functions. fitted up with
elaborate and expensive machinery.
much of it entirely new, devised to
meet the exigencies of this particular
case.
When the installation is completed
Edinburgh will possess close on fifty
miles of cables-about twenty-five
miles of streets-which is said to be the
| largest installation of the cable sys-
| TEN in the world. The city will have
spent in all about 81, 100000. The COR
poration leases the workings of the
lines to a public company for a rental
of per cent on the capital outlay

play into the hands of the water com
pany and the three councilmen who
stand ready to do the company's bid
ding. The friends of municipal owner
ship need to be up and doing. Not only
should taxpayers be warned not to sign
that petition but there should be such
an emphatic expression Of opinion be-
fore the council next Monday night
that the new scheme of delay will come
to naught.

If municipal ownership would be bad
for the city why is the Phoenix Water
company so active in its opposition TO
the plan? Why does General NJ. II.
Sherman leave his extensive business
interests on the coast and come TO
Phoenix TO organize the opposition
Why does he cause 4 misleading petit
ton to be circulated. and why does he
invite taxpayers to meet him in 9 con-
venient back room in Wall street and
ask their aid to prevent the proposed
vote on municipal ownership? Why is
he in daily consultation with CAM and
Fickas and the other opponents of mu-
nicipaI ownership? Is it because the
water company has a losing contract
with the city and desires to unload?
If the taxpayers study the situation
they will see many reasons why the
council should be given to understand
that a popular vote is necessary, and
that nothing less will satisfy this COM
munity.

CAM. Fickas and Morford-are OPP
posed to the plan to per-
A MIS- nit the taxpayers of
LEADING this town to vote on the
PETITION. question of municipal
ownership of a water
and sewerage plant. They are in honor
bound to give the taxpayers the right
to settle this question in their own
way. but their sympathies are with the
Phoenix water company. and unless
they can be forced to accede to the pop
ular demand they will give the water
company fresh grip on the commu
nifty and put an end to the movement
to place Phoenix among the progress
siye cities of the country.
Action on the water and sewerage
question is to be taken at the next
meeting of the city council. In order
that Messrs. CAM, Fickas and MOrford
may be afforded a pretence of willing
ness to act in the public interest a pc
tition praying the council to postpone
action in this important matter until
engineers may have submitted 10 the
taxpayers an estimate of the cost of
the proposed improvements, is now be-
ing circulated This petition was pre-
pared by the Phoenix Water company,
and signatures are being secured by
it's officers and by men who
have close relations with the
water company and who are opposed
to the idea of municipal ownership.
While the petition appears to be inno-
cent enough it really is part of a
scheme to defeat the will of the people.
Many people have signed it who doubt
less are unaware of the facts in the
case. Comprehensive estimates of the
cost of a water and sewerage plant al
ready are available. Mr.. Abs-Hagan,
the well known Los Angeles engineer,
went over the situation carefully less
than a year ago, at the instance of the
city council. and his very complete fig
ures are at the disposal of all who may
care to study them. Mr.. Abs
Hagans reputation on the coast
is well established, and the
Phoenix Water company nor the
other opponents of municipal owner
ship can injure it. Mr.. Abs-Hagan esti-
mated that $4,000 would build a water
works plant, with 100 MIGRANTS, suffi-
Gent for a city Of 10000 inhabitants.
The sum of $500 900, he said, would sup
ply a plant that would cover a good
deal of unproductive territory. To
supply every street in the city with
water service would, he estimated, cost
in the neighborhood of $3.50, 600 Mr.. Abs
Hagan declared that under the pro-
posed $4,000 system the mains could
be extended at any time without i'm
pairing the efficiency of the plant. The
only additional expense would be n
connection with new pumps. The prop
osition now sought to be placed before
the taxpayers. to excerd 100000 for a
water works plant. makes allowance
for the advance in the price of iron
pipe that has taken place since Mr..
Abs-Hagan made his figures.
The true inwardness of the water
company's petition is apparent TO all
who are conversant with the situation.
1t ought not to cut any figure in the
council, but it viii do so unless the tax
payers who have unwittingly signed ii
withdraw their names and refuse to

General NJ. H. Sherman is employing
all the resources at his command to
prevent the city of Phoenix from own
ing a water works system. 1t is nat
ural that he should. His interests lie
that way. But is that any reason why

clutches of the water company now is

HAD HIS HEAD SPLIT.

Charles Gully, a saw mill hand at
Stamps, was found this morning
near the Cotton Belt track just be-
yond College Hill, with his head
split and bullet hole in his side and
his shoulder lacerated. He was
brought to the city on dray and
carried into undertaken Reeves
coffin house.
He was not dead when he was
dumped upon a cot, but those who
crowded around, said he could not
live long.
The only theory advanced, so far
as we can learn, was that Gully
was on the train that went north,
and that he was shot on the train
and that the cut in his head was
made by the fall as also his lacerat-
ed shoulder,
We learn that he told several
who first found him on the road
side, who shot him and all about
the trouble, but we have failed to
locate any one thus far who seems to
know any more than that the negro
was in a bad fix and not liable to
recover.

THE MOORE KILLING.

The cOlored man Moore, who is in
Jail awaiting an investigation, as to
what part he played in causing the
death of his nine year old daughter,
which we made mention of yester-
day, is still being held, and the cor
9ners jury is in session trying to
learn what part Moore had to do
with thefgirls death, if a6a. I A
white boy has been EXAMINED who
saw the man administering the
whipping to the child. He heard
the licks but conld not say what
the man had in his hand while a.
ministering the thrashing.
The city editor was present and
listened to one colored witness tell
what he saw. He said:
live next to viii Moore. On
the evening the child was whipped,
viii Moore came in from work and
be found his wife and children efS
ing watermelon and becomflg
offended at something the cktld
did, took off his belt aud whip
ped her. While whipping the child
she broke away and ran from him.
He followed her and made her come
back and taking hold of the small
end of the belt, he dealt the child
several blows about the face with
the buckle end of the strap. The
child fell on the ground,
and her father reached down and
picked her up and was in the act Of
striking her when his wife inter
ferred and SAID: "That will. do,
Will, don't hit her any more"
The child died that htiand
the marks on her face, neck and
temple showed plainly where
the buckle had struck her There
are some fifty or sixty negroes
hanging about the steps to the JUS
tice's Office where the investig alton
is going on, and we learn many of
them are witnesses under the rule,
and it will take some time to exam
inc them all. Moore has certainly
gotten himself in a very uncomfort-
able position, is the way we have
sized up the matter.
The coroner examined five wit
nesses only, dismissing all others,
the evidence showing conclusively
that the child died from the beat
ing received at the fathers hands.
