cation that Revenue Agent F. G. Thompson

Barbed wire fences have been the subject OF
restrictive legislation In many States OF the
Union. and have not ipfreduently elected Judi.
DIAL censure. Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes
OF Massachusetts,. however. evidently thinks
that the courts have sometimes gone too far In
their condemnation Of this kind OF fencing. A
person walking along q city street In the pight
time wandered on to an adjacent lot across
which was erected "a fence OF barbed WIRE by
which he was Injured. In a suit against the
lot owner he sought to recover damages on the
principle OF 'LH spring gun cases In which
persons who set spring guns on their premises
as a defence against tres pas5ers are held liable
for any injuries which may thus DO inflicted
upon trespassors who are thereby shot But
Mr.. Justice Holmes declares that the cases are
not analogous. "Barled wire is well known"
he Gays and has been widely used for fencin.:
as more efficient than common wire. Not only
does experience rot warrant saving that the
use Of il upon 3 mans own land. upon which
he has a right TO expect people not to trespass.
shows an expectation that hey will come there
and aG intent TO hurt them when they do. but
every one knows the contrary-that barhed
wire has been used by hu ndreds Of people who
had no malicious intent" The purpose Of
employing harbed rather than PLAIN wire IL 10
make 1t more difficult to get over the fence.

GOOD WORK FOR ARIZONA.

The work which has begun in Ari- zona by MT. F. H. Newell, of the United States geological survey, is of direct interest to every mining man in the territory. This work does not en- brace simply the ascertain;ng of reser- voir sites in the territory, but there is a wider bearing which touches the in terests of every mining man who is operating in Arizona. Tn every min ing region of the United States with the single exception of Arizona the government has provided correct maps of the mineral sections, marking the producing mines with reference to the valleys which they must look to for provisions. and the location of the cities and towns adjacent These maps are invaluable to persons seek ing knowledge of the territory in which they are interested They pre- vent eXaggerat ton on the part of pro- motors, and a mining prospect 100 miles from a great producing mine cannot be placed on the same vein with that producer with any degree of safety. Today in Arizona these exag- gerations can be made with impunity. There is no data by the government experts to set investors right as to the mineral zones of the territory. This data MT Newell and his associates will supply. II will take some time to complete the mineral maps of Ari- zona, but in the prosecution of the work it is to be hoped that the people Of Arizona will lend all the aid pos s:ble to Mr. Newell and his assistants

craze systems before the annexation matter is settled annexation may re- ceive serious blow. If the residents of the additions are willing to come into the city, as now appears to be the case, they clearly are entitled to have something to say on the Bonding ques- tion. Let us extend the city in the di- rect.on proposed and then take up the water and sewerage questions in a broad minded spirit That is the proper way to do business. If it can be demonstrated that a well and stand pipe service is impract:cable then the question of a gravity system, with the river as a basis, should be considered Phoenix is bound to become a b.g town and the water and sewerage propositions should be adjusted on that basis.

A VITAL MATTER

Granting for the sake of argument that the city council is in earnest in respect of the bond election matter The Republican is of opinion that It would be the part of wisdom to settle the annexation question before pro- ceeding to secure the sense of the peo- pie regarding bonds for water works and sewerage systems. There is TO good reason why the nearby additions should not bs incorporated in the city. There are strong reasons why they should come in without further delay. If the people of the city decide to bond themselves for water worka and sew

INSPECTION OF LIQUORS.

Captain Fred Pabst Of Milwaukee, whose name is familiar to beer drink CTS, and who is probably connected with the manufacture of as much beer as any man in the world, was exam ined as a witness the other day by the senatorial committee Investigating the adulteration of foods. He said that the government inspection of beer would be a good thing for the protec- tion both of honest manufacturers and consumers. He might have gone much further, and said the inspection of all liquors, spirituous, vinOus, and fermented, would be a good thing for the protection of honest manufactur- CTS and consumers, especially the lat ter. In England government inspec- tion is strict. It is not confined to the breweries or dist;lleries, but follows the liquor until it reaches the throats Of consumers.
 No one but an enthusiast imagines that the habit of drinking will be abandoned at any time in the near flu ture, but all deplore the evils which flow from it's incorporate use, and would like to see any plan adopted that would reduce those evils. Moth ing of practical nature would have a greater tendency to reduce them than strict and honest government insp5c- tion.-Baltimore American.

If the cbject of the new whiskey trust is to increase the price of whis- key it is a trust to which temperance people at least cannot consistently offer serious objection. Whiskey is one of the few things, according to the temperance view, that cannot be made too expensive. The higher the price of 1t the less of it there VIII be' con sumed This presents the trust ques- tion in a new light. It shows the pos sibility that a trust may be turned in to a moral agency. It would be an odd turn of affairs if the new whiskay trust should supplement high license and prohibition laws.
