The butchers from various parts ot
 the territory are working hard to ge. recognition Of their interests by the present legislature. While the live
 stock law enacted by the Nineteenth Legislative assembly is conceded to be
 a good one, and of great benef. to the icattlemen of the territory, it is the be- lief of the butchers that they are com Ipelled to pay an inspection fee far in excess of the benefits they receive. The
 plan advocated by them as the only
 one that will afford relief is to make
 the fee for the inspection of hides the
 same as that paid for the inspection Of
 live cattle for shipment. It has been
 argued that the butcher does not have to pay the fee but it is claimed that the cattlemen generally regulate the price
 so that he does. It is a question whether provision can be made fer equalizing the fee paid for the two classes of work, and paying the in spectors a salary from the proceeds that will justify good men in devoting their time to the business. Many ar guments are advanced pro and con, and it is probable that when the live stock committee completes it's investigations
 of the records of the off1cs of the sani- tary board, some scheme may be de- vised for making sucl changes in the law as will be satisfactory to all branches Of the live stock industry. IL would seem, however, that the plan would entail much extra ex- pense in tho working forces cf the Of fee of the sanitary board.

The personal nara tive by Captain Sigsbee of the Maine which has just been completed in the Century maga- zine. covers the entire history of the visit Of the battleship to Havana and an intensely interesting recital, and will have the effect of convincing many hitherto skeptics that the vessel was blown up by a mine from the outside. This theory Captain Sigsbee unhesitat- ingly maintains. And, moreover, he has within day or two stated that he expects that the persons lwho did the foul business will yet be discovered.

RIGHT KIND OF BOY ORATOR.

We commend the following, from the New York Sun, to the consideration Of the friends in Arizona of Billy Boy Bryan:
 The Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, who has just been elected a senator in con- gross from Indiana, is a fine example of the success th]t is in the reach of every American who deserves it by working for it. MT. Beveridge, who is Cnly 35, was born in Ohio with a wood en spoon in his mouth. His people moved to Illinois in the hope of finding fortune kinder. At 12 he was begging away on a farm. At IA he was work ing on a railroad. Working, mind you, and not shirking and imagining him. self to be a bHghted being ruined by corporations. Graduated from the railroad, he became teamster. At 16 he was boss of lumber camp. Study ing in such times and with such means as he could get, he fitted himself for the De PaWw university, where he worked to support himself. He over did it little, so he went west and took up COW punching. Then he went to Indianapolis and studied law. He picked up a good practice easily, and now he is a United States senator at B.
 He was a boy orator at college, and he won cash prizes that he needed. But he is not a boy orator now. He has net remained permanent boy orator. He has not devoted himself to wander ing about &he country, abusing q great plrt Of the citizens, windily proclaim ing that there is no chance for poor folks and making a living by speeches that go to show that you cannot mako a living on account of the wrongs" and expressions" Of the rich. He has been a good stump speaker, but his best speech is his life, the resolute and strenuous labor which co1quers diff culty and i'll fortune. If he had spent his time in cnvying and denouncing the prosperous, he would never have made himself prosperous.

DO YOUR WORK.

Tn all seasons and moods we are to do OUT work with unflinching courage; We arg to be loyal to the highest truth, though our hearts be lead within us; we are to inspire and lead though we cannot see the way for the darkness. A man often does his noblest work in the deepest depressicn; he often speaks the greatest word which is given him out of the depths of something very like to despair. It is our part to sail courageously and unhesitatingly on in the blackest right CT the dreariest day. The same power that made the sea made the ea.her.-The Outlook.

The recent troubles in Havana, some of them attended by bloodshed, are not surprising but are quite to be expected, nor do they prove the Cubans espec- ially vicious or unfit for self govern 1Gent. 1t would be expecting too much to hope that the great changes occur ring in Cuba could take place without some outbreak of the pemt-up hatred, bred of centuries of clashing, between the Spaniards and the Cubans. There is reason to believe that when the American regime of freedom has full sway there will be little trouble in the liberated island

Chairman Watson has practically none
 but anti-AltgeId men On guard. From being an Altgeld supporter, Watson has become one of the most pronounced op- ponents of the ex-governor The Alt geld machine, which grew out of the Altgeld dispensation of the spells of office, but which long survived the loaves and fishes on which it fed at first, is rapidly falling to pieces. There are paris of it cut in the state which remain true to the old smell, but the committee meeting just held, with its widespread repudiation Of Altgeldism, is conclusive proof that it is no more potent in the state than in the city Chicago Correspondence of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat

The success thus far of Russia's pol icy with regard to Afghanistan lends strong probability to reports Of the conciusien of a treaty between. those two countries, whereby Russian rail way privileges were granted by the Ameer in spite of the opposition of England. If such railway is built, it will have a marked effect in accen- tuating the vigorous frontier policy Of the British Indian administration. It has been the event most feared.

Aguinaldo had some wise adviser tq counsel him he would not even u reaten the resistance which he is s4id to be ready to make again9S Amer iEan sovereignty. If he does attempt to defeat by force the restoration of law, order and security of life and property in the Philippines he will find lthat he has a very different kind of job on his hands than he had when he organized his rebellion against a weak and corrupt nation. He can make us trouble and expense, but if he could not accomplish his purpose with Spain, there could be only one outcome of a struggle against the United States. It would do the swelled head of this young warrior deal Of good if he could re- pose in a dungeon for few years in or der to give him chance for reflection on the proper relation between a small ium5ividuaI and big nation.

Judge Baker in his speech Wednesday

Judge Baker in his speech Wednesday night overlooked an important point. He enlarged on the alleged expense the city would be put to through own ership of water and sewerage systems but neglected to give any figures relative to the revenues that would be received. The judge was there in the character of an expert and yet we submit that in ordinary business an expert who would make such a one sided report on any proposition would have difficulty in securing a return en- gagemenf.

Alexandria. Va. Nov. /. 1899.

Alexandria, Va, Nov 1, 1899.
To the Board of Managers of the Alex
andria Inirmary:
Ladies-I have the honor of submit
ting this report of patients treated in
the Infrmary during my late term OF
service. from September LIST to October
31st, 1899:
Patients readmi'ted IA, patients adj
mitted 49, Total 46
Patients discharged: Cured %, i'm.
proved 5, incurable l. Total 20.
Died 5.
Remaining under treatment October
31st IL Total 46.
In regard to the large number of
deaths, it is due to the institution to
say that in the cases of four of the five
patients who died they were admitted
10 an absolutely hopeless condition and
were entirely unamenable to treatment.
1t would be very desirable for the well
fare of all concerned If application for
the admission of such cases were not
postponed until too late for any hope OF
benefit. The prime object of hospitals
is to supply treatment for cases amen
able to benefit, and not to furnish de.
cent beds for incurables to die in. Re.
spectfully submitted,
