1 A Phenix paper wants another
 carnival. Whats the matter with
 the one now on the boards.
 Senator Moorebouse, in California
 has introduced 6 bill for the free
 and unlimited killing of editors.
 It there is anything in a name,
 the council would seem to have two
 fervent single standard advocates in Goldwater and Goldberg. The present legislature is so strongly democratic that there is no danger of any new counties being created. They are forninst "ex- pansion."
 Yavspai Is the richest gold pro- ducipg county in the west, and in- cidently speaking, the richest also for the white metal prospectors on election day.
 The members of the lower house of the Arizona legislature spent Fri day by invitation at the Insane asy- lum. Why the council was over looked we do not know.
 A suggestion was made by a gen. tleman the other day that as the present legislature was preparing to enact laws covering every ill, they should not overlook trying to stop the toothache.
 The California investigation makes the senatorial deadlock tighter that ever. Each and every legislator there is afraid to open his mouth, and stand pat" IS the watch word.
 When Senstors-elect Stewart and Clark read of the action of the Ari- zona legislature, they will take an- other hitch in their parts and grin all over, The Arizona law makers seem to have been in a senatorial congrstulatIng deadlock on each of the above. There are wild rumors floating around that Adams of Yava- pal had the remnants of the Nevada Montana sack.
 A western editor was running the motto I've tell the truth" at the head of his paper. The other day, however, he was compelled to en- counter several gentlemen who ob jected to the truth being told, and as a consequence the motto disap- Peared and the following notice was printed: Until we recover from injuries recently received, this paper will lie just like the rest of them"
 Replying to the JoURNAL-MINER's query as to how territorial institu- tions should be governed, in the absence of a board of control or some other board, and if some other how it should be appointed, our con- l this morning answers with its customary tirade about Martin Murphy combination" dark lantern, illegal bond funding" 'goldbug, corporation organs" etc, 'tc, all along the line, the only hing apparently out of the usual tock in trade that was omitted be- ng the "taxless" and the "taxless oots." Just how such an over ight occurred as the omission of hese it is difficult to understand.

eoLpeERe.s EReIenT BILL.

The first section of the freight bill introduced in the council by Goldberg starts out by declaring all railroads in the territory to be pub . lie highways and all railroad com panles common carrIers.
 Section two prohibits the charg- ing of higher rate in carload lots than is designated by the bill and declares any excess of such charge to be unlawful. It designates that twenty-four thousand pounds shall constitute 8 minimum carload of all the freight mentioned in this act, unless otherwise specified in said Schedule A." Where the rate Of freight charge is established in said Schedule A" as so much per huR- dred pounds, the said railroad com panies may charge for the full mn mum ca1..oAd, notwithstanding a les amount of freight than the mini mum carload weight be placed ID such car by the shipper, provided that the car furnished by said rail road company for such shipment have a carrying capacity of such minimum carload weight and said railIoad companies may charge at the same rate per hundred pounds for any excess of such minimum carload weight of freight placed in such car by such shipper.
 It also specifies as follows: Upon all shipments of live stock the max imum rate of freight to be charged Der ear as fixed and established in Schedule A" is the charge for standard cars of a length not less than 29 feet and not exceeding 30l feet; for cars less than g feet in length, not more than 94 per cent Of the amount per car fixed and estab- lished in Schedule A shall be charged; for cars over 30a feet, Co and including B feet in length, lO4 per cent of the amOut per car fixed and established in Schedule A may be charged; for cars over g feet. to and including 8 feet y inches in length, l07 per cent of the amount per ear, fixed and establish ed ia -Schedule 4" may be charged; for cars over B feet 9 inches ID length, II0 per cent of the amount per car fixed and established IT '.Schedule A may be charged. Upon shipments of sheep in double deck cars D per cent additional to the ral4s above may be charged. The charge for any distance between the distances mentioned in Schedule A" shall be that for the next greater distance therein mentioned
 Section four provides a penalty Tor the violation of any section of the act while "Schedule A" gets down to the meat of the bill by fixing the rate of freight for carload l'ts, per per ear for all distances from 3 to I 45O miles. on all classes of merchan- disc, the rates named being m cents per hundred pounds. It also fixes the rates for carload lots of live stock, in dollars per car Z9 to SO3 feet in length. The rate on cattle raises 75 cents per car fer each 10 miles above loo miles carried; on horses, mules, sheep and hogs, in single deck cars. SI per each 10 miles l above loo.

The opponents of the Nicaragus canal are now bending their ener- gies toward getting any sort of a canal bill except the Morgan bill, which has been passed by the senate and reported to the house. knowing that the only chance for canal legis lation lies in the house taking up and passing the Morgan bill.
 When the treaty of peace is rati- fled, it will be seen that some of the senators who tried the hardest to obstruct it's consideration cast their votes for ratification.

:'There IS only one thing to be done with the board of control that is 10 abolish it."-Courier.
 Wren the board of control is abolished wil our contemporary en- tighten the people of Arizona as to the manner in which it would run the public institutions of the terri tory. The objection urged to the board of control IS that its members are appointed by the governor, hence alleged to be his creatures. Prior to the creation of this board for the management of the public institu- tions, they were managed by separ- ate boards which were also ap- pointed by the governor, and run at a much greater expense than under the present system. Would our contemporary re-establish these boards at the increased expense, or would it permit the institutions to be run by their supsrintendents without any supervisory boardi If the latter, it is again confronted with the fact that the superintend- ents are also appointees of the gov ernor, and do what it may, it cannot get away from this appointing power. So after all, when stripped of its partisanship there IS nothing whatever in this howl against the board of control, and even as a par tisan objection, it is of no force for in jumping out of the "bOard of control frying pan" they will light in the same old appointing fire" ob- jection. Ina; the bill should be changed the JoURSAL- MINER will not deny. The present law clothes this board with power which may be dangerous, but the defects of the present law can be easily remedied by legislation and the good features of the bill can be retained. The system of managing public institu- tions bF 6 general boar1 of control is now in successful operation in very many Of the states and gives good

It would seem to be wise for some Of those who are working themselves into a frenzy of opposition to the administrators Philippine policy to wait until such a policy is an nounced. The president hasn't asked any thing but the ratification of the treaty of peace, which trans fers the Philippines from Spain to the United States; he leaves the whole question of their future open. Tbat question will not be decided bJ the administration, but hy con- gress. Excitable persons may es- cape apP0ple1y by remembering the facts.

In view of the positions of Bryan and Croker, and their respective fol lowers, it is igall for a democrat to seek to call attention to re- publican factions, in Ohio, or elsewhere. The democratic di- vision is on principles, while the differences in the republi- can party are entirely personal. The party was never more thorough ly united upon principles than it is today.

NEW CANAL ROUTE
Civil Engineer John f. LIE Baron
Says He Knows
OF a Shorter and a Cheaper
Way Across
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN
Than Any That Has Yet Been
Suggested or Surveyed.
Would Save $22,OOO,OOO in
Cost Of Construction.

Cleveland, Jan.21-John F. LIE Baron,
an interview here that while engaged
as an engineer on the old Nicaragua
canal he discovered a new and practical
route for the interoceanic connection.
''I was one of the engineers in
CHARGE" said he, land became thor
oughly acquainted with the territory.
When I discovered the new and more
practicable route at once laid it before
the men who were backing the enter
prise They were pledged to put the
canal through on practically the route
they had laid out and did not act on my
suggestion and furthermore, did not
want anything said of the new shorter
route.
when congress acted on the matter
and the president designated a commit
tee to go thoroughly over the ground
and report on all feasible routes, l at
once wrote the committee saying that if
it was desired, would go to Washing
ton and make my route known. ask
ed for no commission, nor money hav-
ing no other interest in the matter than
the public interest. The commission
did not see fit to accept my offer and
therefore l have never diVulged the
route. The commission has reported IA
vorably on the Lull route, which 1 be-
lieve presents obstacles that make it
impracticable." Mr.. LIE Baron claims
that the route he proposed is much
shorter than any other and would cost
$22 600, 600 less than any yet named.
Mr.. LIE Baron is now an engineer for
the American and Honduras company
to which the government of Honduras
recently granted valuable concessions.

CUT A WIDE SWATH.
General Carpenter Has Been Doing
Things to Suit Himself in Cuba

Havana, Jan. 21-The criticism that
the military administration in the sew
eral provinces lacks uniformity and
that each governor acts independently
of the central authority, is said here to
be caused largely by the position of af-
fairs in the province of Puerto Principe.
1t is claimed that when Gen. Carpenter
entered that province in November he
began governing without reference to
the evacuation agreement and the con-
tinuance of Spanish sovereignty to
January 1. 1t is asserted that he made
a clean sweep of the provincial officials.
remitted some taxes and collected 9TH
erS and he is understood to have used
the revenues of December for the pur-
poses of the local administration. 1t is
said that he acted briskly and decisive
ly, compelled, no doubt, to take the in
itiative because in the interior, there is
no telegraph system, and the mails are
two weeks apart.
1t now takes two days to get mes
SageS from Havana to Gen. Carpenter
by cable to Santa Cruz del Sur and
thence overland on horseback, 90 miles.
Major General Brooke has gently called
Gen. Carpenters attention to the fact
that taxes can not be remitted in the
province of Puerto Principe unless the
same thing is done in all the provinces,
and that he is not entitled to use the
revenues of the province unless on re-
QUESTIONS which have been approved
at Havana and that changes in officials
must be made for cause and after an
competence has been shown.
A signal telegraph line from Santa
Cruz del Sur to Puerto Principe is be-
ing rapidly built and will be completed
in few days. The Spanish bank of Ha-
vana was requested to pay coin for
$365,000 of its notes, backed by the gov
ernment, but the bank refused, saying
the Spanish government alone could
make this payment. A legal protest
was then made against the banks ac-
ton. The $4,000, 900 guarantee deposited
in this bank was Withdrawn by the gov
70 in a G
tration of Captain General Blanco.

Surgeons Take Heroic Measure

New York, Jan. 21.-Char1es Weinho1d

a rare and dangerous disease to the

hospital when he was driven up to the
entrance in an ambulance.
WeinhOld was speechlesS and half
suffocated. There was an enormous
growth on the right side of his face.
But DR.. Williams saw more than this.
He knew that the stress of the growth
had caused the mans windpipe to col

as "LudWig'S angina" of which there
had been only two other cases record ed
in this country, both fatal. He named
the disease to an assistant.

sharply to the collar bone. Drs. Wyn-

windpipe relaxed, and the man was able
to breathe.
The operation lasted nearly 20 min

put to bed, where he will have to re-
main for several weeks. DR.. Wilson said
he would surely recover.
