THE CITY BALLOT
Changes Which Make if Slightly Un-
 familiar.

The copy for the municipal ticket is in the hands of the official printer As the voter already understands, the ballot contains three compartments the republican, the democratic and the socialist-Iabor. The ballot will not look quite familiar; the flag, the republican vignette, has been replaced by an eagle with outspread wings. It was intended to use a PhOenix-bird, but a cut of one could not be obtained in time, hence the second choice of the eagle. Some of the more enthusi- astic republicans wanted to substitute the growing rooster for the flag, but others argued that would be working the rooster overtime. It was really not necessary to make change at all; notwithstanding the late legislature canonized the flag and protected it against the profane advertiser, there is nothing in the law forbidding any political party to adept 1t as an em- blem. That would be not only not an improper, Eut a very consistent use of it.
 This is an official legal opinion, but the man who gave it said there was no need to excite the democrats and un- necessarily anger them by Haunting the Amarican flag in their faces. The same authority said the flag, the rooster and the eagle would be equally of no significance on the republican compartment of the ballot, since the republicans have not undertaken to finally dispose of any great national issue at this election. It's different with the democrats; it would be emil nently improper for them to go into this fight without the silver dollar nailed to the masthead. Hamilcar placed his 9-year-old son, Hannibal, on the altar and made him swear eternal enmity against Rome. So at the late democratic city convention the mu- nicipal standard bearers were pledged to avenge the crime of '73' without

JEROME'S DREAD.
Another attempt to Destroy the Min
 ing Town.

This morning just as day was break ing an alarm of fire disturbed the sleepers in what is known as the ten derlOin district of Jerome. There was much excitement and good reason therefor, as the alarm was caused by the discovery of fire in a pile of wood stored under the steps leading to the basement of the large frame lodging house of Jennie Bouters, located north of the Hotel COnnor and in the north ern part of the city. It was most for tunate that the fire was not started earlier in the morning, and also that it's discovery was not delayed one min ute later, as there was a strong wind from the north which would have in a few seconds famed the flames through the business and resident part of the city, and a repetition of the terrible fire of September 11th, 1898, would have been the result As 1t was the fire had secured somHwbat of a foot hold and it was only by the hardest of work that 1t was got under control and extinguished.
 A visit to the scene of the fire and an examination of the wood in which the fire started would convince almost any one that it was the work of an in cendiary. The wood looked, and the strong odor of kerosene coming from it, assif oil had been put there for the purpose of starting the fire. Inquiry

THE REGISTRATION
An Explanation of inc Raised
 Figures"

Tn certain democratic quarters an effort is being made to cast a suspicion upon Recorder Jobs and City Assessor and Tax Collector Thomas J. Prescott of having increased the city registra- ton list by forty after the close of the registration. The explanation is very simple and cannot help being satisfactory. The facts are that last Saturday afternoon, the last day of ,he registration, there were on the list something more than 800 names. No body, democrat or republican, seems Uo have known, and naturally nobody cared for everybody knew that just before midnight the figures would be rendered unfamiliar.
 Late in the afternoon Recorder Jobs went home and did not return, as there was no reason why he should. About half past eleven o'clock the democratic registrars brought in a list which, they said, contained PTS names. little later the republican registrars turned in a list which they said contained 234. Several persons were present and inquiries were made as to the total As has been stated,

HOW THE MONEY GOES
A Report Of County Expenditures
 for March.

| Clerk Gray of the board of super
 visors yesterday finished compiling { report of the monthly expenditures by
 the county for the month of March | The claims for that month amounted to $10,766.17. The total amount ot claims allowed in March, including the above sum and the quarterly claims since January 1. was $30, ,310.11 These sums are made up as follows: Monthly claims, road districts, S1 1,9OS.S7; feeding prisoners, $606; jury fees, $3OS.9O; court batliffs, $32; district attorneys office expenses, $107.35; interpreters fees district court, S5. Quarterly claims: Sheriff ) fees, S1,226.10; district clerks fees, $1S7.10; supreme court clerks fees, $265O.
 Poor farm, monthly, $235.73; indi- gents outside, $310.95; indigents, poor farm contract, quarterly, $1,37450.
 Assesor's office, expenses monthly, $610: telephone service court house, quarterly, $66.75; printing, quarterly, S59825: other monthly expenses, ice, fuel, etc.. $2S6.64.
 The following are additional month 4y Fl O4lOoob elHooCAoo ments, $7S.25; bounty lion scalpS, $2OO; repairs, $16.65; election expenses s2O; coroner's jury expenses, $2S; quarantine against contagious diseases S1,598.51: miscellaneous, s.
 The following are all quarterly claims: Burying indigents, S91.10; medical service, indigents, $220; inter prefers fees in justices courts, $61.50; justice of peace fees. Phoenix precinct, $405.45; Tempe precinct, Si32.40; Mesa precinct, $24; Wickenburg precinct, S26.75; constables' fees, Phoenix pre- cinct, s243.5O; Tempe precinct $256.65; Mesa, $40; Buckeye, $20.60; Agua Caliente, $72.70.
 A noticeable thing in these figures is that Mesa with it's populous surround ing country, has cost the county only $2640 for justices and constable's fees There is, perhaps, no section of similar population in the United States which could make such a show ing There is certainly none of equal area that could do it. This peaceful and quiet condition ought to be set forth in an immigration circular to be spread throughout the United States.

revealed the fact that the lamps used in the house had been cleaned where the fire started.
 If the fire had got good start it could not have been stopped any more than that of September last, which completely destroyed the city, because we are now in the same condition as to fire protection as i've were then. And yet there. are some of our citizens who are endeavoring to stir up a feeling strong enough to successfully fight in corporation, and thus place the camp beyond all hope of fire protection Of any kind. Will it take another largs and destructive fire to convince our citizens that we must have water to protect the city, or it will be a matter of building and burning for all time to come.=JerOme Mining News.
