Rising From the Ranks.

Great credit Is due the administra-
tlon for its manner of organizing and
conducting the enlarged army. The
Interest enemies OF President McKln-
ley do not accuse him of political fa-
voritism in military appointments.
.e is evidently anxious above every
thing for army efficiency. In the Gre
alton of new regiments the Governors
of Democratic states have had exact
ly the same consideration as the Gov
ernors of republican states. An order
Just issued takes another step that will
be cordially approved by the people
and inspire every enlisted man with a
feeling that he Is appreciated. When
vacancy occurs herafter in any of
the volunteer regiments it will be fill
ed by seniority, making a vacant sec
ond leutenancy. The new officer will
stoned officers will undergo instruction
in regimental classes to be fit for pro-
motion. AS a matter of fact many are
already qualified for commissions. In
education and culture enlisted men in
the army as now constituted are often
the peer of young manhood anywhere.
This regulation will make regi-
ment more tnan ever a military fam
lily, proud of its distinctive place and
achievements and conscious of the
innate worth and possibilities of every
man upon its rolls. In the course of
time it would be officered by men who
had begun in the ranks and stood by
its colors throughout its history The
high standard maintained in enlist
ments has led to this system of pro-
motion. Heretofore volunteer
might be promoted; now he must be
as fast as vacancies occur. This is TIE
true American principle and there is
not volunteer in the army whose
heart will not thrill when he reads the
order. 1he higher places in his regi-
ment are open to him in preference to
any person outside, and if he is made
of good stu. he will work to fit him
self for increasing responsibilities.
Provision is also made to retire incom-
petent officers President Mckinley

ACETATE THE QUESTION.

The following from the Tucson
Siar is well worth reading and
careful consideration:
Arizona has lands enough to
provide homes for many thousands
of farmers families. We have rain
sufficient to irrigate these lands, if
it could be saved by reservoir sys-
tens. This, however, requires
capital, and much of it. But there
is no use to which the government
could put a few millions of dollars
more profitably than in the con-
struction Of water catchments, or
reservoirs for irrigation of its pub
lie domain. 1t would result IN
creating homes for thousands, who
would in turn produce millions of
dollars in breadstuffs and other
fruits of the soil. Arizona's para.
mount need is the reclamation OF
her arid lands. The soil is fat
with richness and all that is re-
quircd to bring it forth is the we'd
ding of the lands with water. Res
ervoirs which can conserve the
flood waters is the present neeessi-
ty. To reach the government we
must make public opinion. This
can best be accomplished by aglta-
ton. The press is the instrument,
the power that can accomplish
more than any other influence.
Let the press continue its good
work of calling attention to this
water storage and irrigation ques'
tion. Congress will be made to
see it if the press of the country
will keep it before the people.

Met Death in a Mine.

Geo. w. Towner lost his life in
the Old Dominion Copper COM
rany's mine last Thursday after
noon, shortly before five o'clock,
by falling down the shaft. 1t APP
pears that Towner, who ran the
cage, had loaded stull at the
sixth level to take up to the second
level. He was assisted in putting
the stull ON the cage by Tom
Richards, but Towner himself tied
il, and from the evidence did not
secure 1t we'll. He gave the signal
to hoist to the second level, but
not the signal of "man aboard.
The cage started up the shaft
and had almost reached the third
level. when the upper end of the
stull collided with the wall of the
shaft, forcing the lower end of the
stull through the bottom of the
| cage. Towner was probably in
iured if not killed when the cage
was wrecked. His body fell
through the hole broken in the
floor of the cage, and to the bot
tom of the shaft at the 18th level
a distance of about $50 feet, anc
was mangled beyond recognition
