ACT TO-DAY.

All of the newspapers of Phoenix
 are for bringing the additions into the
 city They are in accord that this an-
 nexation should be effected peacefully.
 They are in accord that it should be
 done at once: The great majority of
 the people of the city are anxious for
 prompt action in the matter. So are
 the inhabitants of the additions. It
 certainly looks like plain sailing, yet not a single move is being made in the
 matter. Why is this?
 We modestly suggest the calling of a mass meeting for the purpose of dis cussing the next Phoenix census, and incidentally, perhaps, the matter cf annexing the additions to the city might be mentioned. Here is good opportunity for some few leading spirits to exercise a little energy.
 The city additions cannot be expect ed to file petitions z to come in until they are in some manner insured of necessary representation and pr0tec tion. They simply await this.-Ga- zette.
 The above extracts from the Gazette Of Sunday need no comment from The Republican. This paper favors any method, no matter who suggests it, that will bring the additions into the city. We are net seeking glory, but are working first, last and all the time for Greater Phoenix" The entire press of the city is on record as favor ing municipal expansion. It must come, and that soon. The next census will shortly be taken and unless ,1rOnanf Tnooc1roc "a 1a oIo-fIod fo hrinO the addi. lions within the city limits, Phoenix will not h credited with ever one-third fler actual population. We cannot afford this. If certain in dividuals on account of a lack Of ap- preciation of the benefits to accrue. refuse to show enough pride in their city to prevent an unjust census repre- sentation, then it is the duty of the interested ones to take the matter in hand. If, as the Gazette suggests, it is best to held a mass meeting, then let us have it.
 The Republican is convinced that a majority Of the residents of the addi- tions favor expansion. It is the few who are holding out against it that are blocking the enterprise, hoping in time that the whole matter will go by default. But it will not The Phoe- nix newspapers will see to that. The Rep lblican is of the opinion that if an active canvass were made by the proper persc T, enough petitioners could be secured to soon settle the question. We suggest that MT. A. Redewill be chosen to take tfe matter up at once. MT Redewill owns property in all the additions and is an ardent expansionist. He has signi- fed willingness to act in any ca pacity that will aid in bringing in the additions. He will succeed if any one can, and there is no time tc. be lost.
 This is proper matter for tE.e board of trade to take the lead in, but if that body does not see fit to do So, | let committees be organized and the of petitions begun.
 The Republican is at the service of | the cxpansionists. Act today.

was the adoption of republican
methods of government. They have
proved that they were right;
they have done what they
claimed they would do, and from
being a country so financially dis
tressed that Italians fed home from
it in 1894, and Immigration almost
ceased, it has again become the
foremost nation on earth in wealth
and national prosperity. The gold
reserve in the national treasury
continues at two hundred and fifty
millions, while the cash on hand
exceeds five hundred millions, and
this after a successful foreign war.
Ninety thousand cotton operatives
have lately had their wages raised
ten to fifteen per cent. Great ac-
tivity prevails in the iron ard steel
business, and although prices OF
raw material have advanced thirty
per cent. yet all the mills and fur
naces are running double time.
Our export trade has increased over
one hundred per cent. within 8
year, SO that it is not now ques-
tion of what can be sold abroad
but how much we care to sell. The
number of business firms failing
are notably less than a year ago
and the railroad earnings are
greater. TWENTY years ago the ex
ports OF England were twice as
great as ours. On the other hand,
last year our exports exceeded hers.
Sweden, Germany, France and
even England herself are. buying
our locomotives, and our manu-
factures in every department. are
taking the lead in every market of
the world. Prosperity has indeed
come and is on its way such as this
country of ours never dreamed of,
and when we get the Nicaragua
canal under way this western part
where we, live will get its full share
of the incoming tide.

Populistic newspapers through

!. Populistic newspapers through
cut the country are following off
Willie Bryant on his santi-expan-
sion, anti-American, anti-honor,
anti-everything that is manly and
decent platform. They are doing
this because they think that fusion
last year means fusion forever, and
perhaps it do-s for some of them;
but not for the party. To our cer-
tain knowledge many of the very
best and most intelligent members
of the populist party are not with
Mr.. Bryant on his anti expansion
plank, but on the contary hold the
advanced and pesriu Jews of
every patriotic man who loves his
country. Mr.. Bryant is not going
to corrall the populist party at the
next election as easy as he did last
time; they have learned something.

The appropriations of the fifty.
fifth congress aggregate a billion
and a half dollars. 483,O00,OOO OF
his is for the expense of the war
with Spain, and after excluding the
post Office appropriation, which is
offset by the postal revenues, and is
Therefore not q tax, the total appro-
priation will foot up just about a
round billion of dollars. This
amount was we believe exceeded
once before in times of peace since
the beginning Of the present decade
AS long as there is no stealing or
wasteful extravaganza anywhere, the
people are content and will not
grumbl' at increased expences, for
all realize that this is a billion
dollar country, and still growing
richer and stronger.

TIE FEE sYsTEM.

We never could understand why
the taxpayers of the state outside OF
Muitnomah county should be 80
eager to abolish the fee system for
county officers and constitute salar-
les. The result has certainly not
justified their expectations, 50 they
keep cutting away at salaries until
soon, it will be hard matter to get
competent men to fill the offices.
Under the fee system the county
paid its officers in fees less than
ono half what it pays them now IN
salaries, and to some OF it's officers
it paid nothing at all. The bsllance
was paid by litigents or BY those
needing the services of the county
officer. The idea Of the salary
system is that the officers must col
fect fees as usual and turn them
ever to the county, and in this way
the county hopes to reimburse itself
far the officers salary. In no in
stance that we ever heard OF has
this idea been accomplished. the
officers has no means Of enforcing
collection of fees, and if he had ne
would not do it, for every officer
hopes to succeed himself. The net
result is that the counties pay out
every year for salaries of county
officers more than twice as much as
they ever did under the old tee
system. If the fees were high it
was an easy matter to reduce them
and we are of the opinion that this
is What should have been done.

JUDGE GALLOWAY'S LECTURE.


Judge Galloway mnst have felt efattered
by the representative class of our citizens
including the faculty and students who
listened to his lecture on Estate and
Public Lands at the College Chapel last
Friday evening. The judge complimented
the regents and faculty upon the sue
cessfnl management OF the college along
the lines of agricultural and mechanical
education. Tie work OF the college has
been so thorough and successful that the
gentleman expressed eommendable
pride in the support he had rendered the
Institution in its Infancy, during the six
years he served as member of the legis-
lature.
Introductory to the lecture, Mr., Gal
loway explained the Discrepancy in the
government maps issued under former
adminisi rations, wherein the Oregoni
territory has been included in the Louis
lana purchase; buE thanks to the efforts
Of Commissioner Herman, whom Presi-
dent Mckinley has wisely placed at the
head of the land department, this error
has been corrected, and all maps nov
and hereafter issued will place the acq,i
sition of the Oregon territory in its proper
light. While Judge Galloway differed
from the honorable commissioner politi-
cally, yet he honored him for his deyo-
tion. under all circumstances, to the
educational and material interests o
Oregon.
Judge Galloway is a firm supporter OF
schools for higher education. as provided
by the general and state governments for
the maintenance of an agricultural col
lege. a state university, and a good
normal school. His illustration by the
use of maps prepared by himself was
instructive and interesting.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

So much is now being said ane
written about the numerous islands
which have come into Uncle Sam
possession through the fortunes o
war, that the Hawaiian Islands
which came peacefully and gladl,
nu,ler our flag have been compara-
1iv,,Iy lost sight Of, and very little
j. being said about them. Thell
geographical position entities then
- - on at this time
1! ellsy lll !dway between Amer
lea and Asia. in the North Pacific
,eeap. They, were discovered by
Capt. Cook in 1779 and at that
sinae contained 100000. native in
a,abitants. In 1896 there Was but
81 900 native inhabitants and only
lo9, 90 Of all nationalities; 22,oo
at these being Chinese, 24,COO Japs'
5000 Portuguese. and only 3ooo
Americans, the balance of different
na,ionalities. There are eight
islands in the group, only four OF
them being inhabited, and their
united area is 6,740 square miles
or slightly less than the area of
the state Of New Jersey. The dis
tance from Honolulu to Portland is
about 1000 miles, to Japan about
5000 miles, to China about 4,Ooo
miles. There are three railroad
on the islands, their united length
being about Is miles. In 1896
they had merchant marine OF 90
vessels flying the Hawaiian flag
The principal produc 8 are sugar.
ric,. coffee, corn;r wheat, arrow
root aud bananas. Their imports
in 1897 amounted to nearly $4,000,
600 and their exports to over Sl5,-
900 900, proving that they are an
exceedingly rich country, if our
figures are reliable, and we believe
them to be. It is a great cattle
country, and $4,000, worth of
hides were sent to the United
States in 1897. Toe climate is
deli .htful, and for the greater pert
Of the year most enjoyable. The
sky as rule is, cloudless. The
trade winds blow from the north
east for nine months and in Janu-
ary, February and March the pre-
yailing winds are from the south
west. At Honolulu the annual
rainfall is about 3S inches. The
extremes of temperature in 1896
wsre highest degree of Fahrenheit
Sc and lowest 81. The daily
average range of temperature for
year was less than Is degrees in
1894. There are no fogs and sun
shine is almost perpetual. South
sasterly storms prevail during the
months of November and February,
which is the only interruption to
perfect weather. Taken altogether
the islands are an ideal place to
live and as near perfect in climate
as any spot on the earth.
