HERE'S A BILL FOR YOU.

Here is a bill-councl bill No. g.
 which deserves attention:
 Section L Every person who shall
 enter upon and by force eject and re-
 move any person from any land who is
 i1t peaceful possession thereof, or has
 been put in possession thereof by any | process of any court of competent jur-
 isdiction, is guilty of felony, and upon | conviction thereof shall be punished ! by imprisonment in the territorial prison fer q period not to exceed five years.
 Section 2.-Every person who shall advise, assist, aid or encourage another person to forcibly enter upon and take possession Cf any land and to remove any person therefr0m by force, threats or intimidatiOns when said person is in peaceable possession thereof, or has been put in possession thereof by the process of any court Of competent jur- isdiction, is guilty of a felony, and up OF conviction thereof shall be punished by Imprisonment in the territorial prison for a period not to exceed five years.
 Section 3. All acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby re- pealed.
 Section 4. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after it's passage.
 This looks like "squatter sover- eighty" measure. It is elastic enough to cover the entire universe. With this pcoposed law in effect the land owner would be obliged to stay at lone and keep a constant wa.ch on his pos sessions. Should he go to town to attend ledge, or go on visit to his 'wife's folks,' he might expect on his return to find Q sCuatter lin peaceful posses sion" Of his acres, and should he "by farce ejecS and remove" said squatter -bang-he would be a candidate for the penitentiary. Should he call in neighbor to help remove the intruder that neighbor would also be liable to term of imprisonment The lot owner in a town-say FhOenix-would be equally a malefactor should he go home some day, find a gentleman encamped on, his lawn and taking things easy, and try to put him out. If this proposed law is a sample Of those that are to be presented to this legislature then the sooner the fool killer gets to work the better for Ari- zona.

DEMAG0GIsM ABOUT THE ARMY.

Were it possible to believe that all
 the members of congress who raise their voices against the increase of the regular army do so out of honess con viction there would be 1ess angry com Iment thereon During the war all men and parties united in one party-the party for United States victory and glory. Now that the war is oyer, the temptation to resume the melodrama of politics is too strong to be resisted. The people are accustomed to the act ing on the political stage, and, Ordinar- fly, in the piping times of peace, it serves as 2 great national amusement. Now, however, there is serious business on hand, far more serious than the war, and the great national amusement, which gives license to grandilOquent limitations of greatness, is cut of pl2ce and out of order.
 The plain, unpleasant truth about this opposition to tho army is that it springs from the declarations of the labor leaders who oppose all military force because it may be used as the army was used at Chicago. Mir. Comp CTS and the labor leaders are homes and courageous enough to step out and say so. The members of congress, ashamed JC confess C0elT motives, Q4 SiS out the ancient property dragon, Ca9- sa1isln, and wallop 1t and rush up and down the stage, now pointing to the battered dragon in horror, now chaTG- ing violently and vociferCusly.
 ''See the terrible monster" they shout Observe his baleful green eyes, his cruel fangs and his unprece- dented fer0cityi But have 10 fear; We will save you; we will fight this ter Tible monster: we will shed our last drop Of blood in your defense!'
 The real purpose of the opposition i5 to prevent an efficient army. These men want a small. uncared for regular army or none at all, and an unsupport- ed. untrained and unorganized militia force and Caesarisn is q Lnere property dragon. As 9 matter Of fact, Caesar was the arch demagOgue of all times and he established caesarism not by his military power, but through bam- boozling of the foolish Roman citizens. What is most dangerous in this land is not militarisn, but dcmagcgism.-han sas City Star

A bill to establish the gold standar

A bill to establish the gold standard has been favorably recommended by the house committee on coinage in Washington. This will compel the parties in congress to line up on the financial question. The republicans will favor it with practical unanimity The democrats, however, will neither support nor oppose it with one voice There are numerous evidences that many of the leaders of that party are sick and disgusted with the issue which has feathered Bryan's nest but brought only defeat, disruption and disgrace to the party, and like the plain-spoken MT. Croker they will refuse to have any further part in it. There is trouble ahead for the democracy. but with it a prospect that the country will te put on definite. legal standard of eZ- change which will prolong the boom already upon nearly all branches of trade

GORDON AND GLADSTONE.

Comment is made in England, some times resretful sometimes scOrn1uI in tone, upon the fact that while witd diff ficulty $100,OO0 has been raised for a memorial to Gladstone. $600,000 has been raised with the utmost ease for the Sirdars college and similar schemes in the Soudan- Some ask if Kitchener alive is six times as great as Gladstone dead, and others if a single day of military slaughter counts for six times as much as sixty years Of dis tinguished civic services. Such com ments are ill-fOunded. They altogether fail to touch the root of the matter It is not Kitchener that is to b2 meas UTCd against Gladstone. It is Gordon. Or, rather, it is what Gordon stood for in the SOudan-which Kitcherer is rev erently trying to fulfll-which 15 measured against what Gladstone stood for there. And in such trial Gladstone must give place to Gordon
 Gordon stood for expansion and i'm perialism. He wanted to extend the civilizing power of Great Britain to ths SOudan states. He wanted to sep slavery and all the other infamies cf the alien dervish rule. He undertook to do the work, and he succeeded spIen- didly. He gave the SOudan a settled and just government, suppressed slave raiding. promoted education and indus try. and made of tribes nation. That was his policy, and 1t is that policy which Lord Kitchener is going to re establish and carry to completion.

cable dispatch says that the recent English strikes effectuaIly prevented the placing of orders for rails, girders and rolling stock for railways building in India, and it is only too probable that in future the orders will go to a large extent to the United States, par ticularly for locomotives. This is a big object lesson on the value of strikes. Those who benefit most by them are not the strikers. In this case they have alienated a vast volume of business and work, probably forever.

When the Hon. '"IIm" Campbell of New York ran up against the constitu- tion in enc of his parliamentary breaks he declared that the consti- tuition should cut no figure between friends MT. Hun5 of GIla, who occu- pied the chair in the council yester- day when the concurrent resolution proEiding for congratulatory dis patch to Senator-eIecs Clark of Mon tana came up, showed as much indif- ference to the rules as Campbell did to the constitution. It was desired by some of the democrats to send to Sen ator Stewart dispatch similar to the one intended for Clark. The republi- cans opposed the plan ard managed to get the resolution and the proposed amendment fairly on the table There it should have remained, under the rules, but the chair ignored the rules and the resolution as amended was adopted. It must now return to tne house. The democratic majority will surely strike a snag if such arbitraIA lnetnods are permitted.

The government recently sent a ca blegram of instructions to General Otis at Manila which cost $500. Uncle Sam does not object so much to the big tolls of the cable companies as he does to the arrogance of a concern which compels him to pay nearly $2.O00 for transmission and then insists that he shall lick a two-cent stamp and paste it on the message at his own ex- penSe.

Rudyard Kipling is in America again. When he left it was said that he was not in love with this country and had determined to iniict upon it a lonely existence without him. See ing how miserably we have wagged along since he left has probably caused Rudyard's heart to relent.

In abo,ishing states frcm the schools and substituting pads, 8 New Jersey school board has taken step, that ought to be followed generally. There is no more unsanitary thing in the schools than the slate and it's accom- panying rag. They are bound to be dirty and their use frequently causes vile practices, such as the licking of the slate or the wetting of the fingers by the tongue to wash it. Disease germs could net find a better avenue for their work. With paper and lead pencils as cheap as at present there is no excuse for the slate and rag in school

AFTER HIGHB BINDERS.

Proposal of Chinese Government to
Reach Desperad0es.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Chinese
Government. through its Minister, Wa
Ting Fang. has preached to the au-
thorities here the Willingness of China
to negotiate an eXtradition treaty APP
pIicabIe to all criminals, but intended
in particular to reach the highbinders.
The Chinese Government believes the
Highlander trouble in this country OPP
crates quite as much against the law
abiding Chinese and against the Chin
csc Government as it does against the
|parties 10 the secret crimes. Therefore
China wishes to have such criminals
returned to her domain for trial. Little
doubt is entertained here that if China
once secured possession of the high
binders short work would be made of
them. owing to the prejudice they have
brought upon the Government
Moreover. it is believed the Senate,
to which such a treaty would have to
be referred for ratification, would not
acr favorably upon it and that it would
stir M animosities and agitatiOns on
the Chinese question in general, rather
than accomplish any special good in
the direction desired. The Chinese
authorities have not, therefore, gone
further than to breach the subject to
the officials here, and desire to learn
how such treaty would be viewed al
though they stand ready al any time to
assume the burden Of dealing with the
highbfnders and other Chinese Grim
inals. if a naturalization treaty should
give them Jurisdiction over the offend

A Doubtful Decision Again.

In last weeks issue the point was raised
that the ruling of the Pueblo Land Office
in the Roxanna case was against the rule
OF practice before the land department
Investigation reveals different state of
facts. At the time OF the issuance of
patent to the Cheyenne No. and 2 lodes
the patent for both claims was covered
by one instrument. There were certain
exclusions intended to be made, and this
exclusion appears at bottom of patent.
Fearing that this would cause future
trouble application Grregularly it is pre-
su ned was made to the commissioner
requesting reissuance of the patent with
its phraseology more clearly set forth,
but he took the position that the patent
was very clear in its wording, and that
all the ground as specified belonged to
the applicants. The disputed ground
was located by the Roxanna company
Then another effort was made to correct
the patent, and an order was issued to
make new one to include the ground
claimed by the Roxanna location, Be
fore the patent was recorded in the Gen
eral Land Office temporary injunction
was obtained, erparte, restraining the
commissioner from proceeding any far
ther. Last week this Injunction was
dissolved and the case dismissed. From
the above it is seen that the Roxanna
had no right to enter the fractions, as the
gronnd was clearly withdrawn from the
public domain; and the ruling at Pueblo
as detailed last week, was simply an i'm
aginative flight Of fancy iudulged in by
the local ofticers-uo.c ct prRterd nihti.
