AN EXPENSIVE VERDICT
Carrying a Net Loss to Recipient
 of $23.

A Mtigant won a case in district court, which after it was all over yes terday, thought he would rather have lest if it had not been for the costs. In the case of Meyer vs. Sanford for dam ages growing out of an alleged malic- ious prosecution, the jury late last Saturday night returned a sealed yer dict. The first thing yesterday morn ing was the disposition of this verdict.
 The jurymen were in their seats and the court opening the verdict and seeing in whose favor it had bsen rendered, in quired how long the jury had served It was one day, SPA Tine court directed the attorney for the plaintiff to de- posit that amount if he wanted to hear the verdict read. The lawyer pro- duced the money with great pleasure and cheerful alacrity.
 The court then read the verict to himself and handing it to the clerk told him to record it. The plaintiffs attor- ney suggested to the court that 1t was the usual custom for the clerk to read the verict aloud before recording it. That will be done later" replied Judge Street, "and soon enough" At length the clerk read that the jury had awarded the plaintiff S1
 The jury had done anl.Aer funny thing, one of those things which evil disposed persons find arguments against the whole jury sys tenn. It had adjudged that each party should pay his own costs. That was. a matter far beyond the jury's jurisdiction. Even the court could not have ordered it, for the law provides that the loser must pay.
 In the cases of Joseph Sloss vs. the Farmers and Merchants bank of Tempe; the Farmers and Merchants bank vs. the Arizona Hardware com pany, and J. H. Woods vs. E. w. Jone~, the plaintiffs were given judgments. The case of the John Deere Flow cor,'- pany vs. Henry E. Kemp ct al was continued for the term.

HERE'S A NEW REPUBLICi
It's Name Is Acre, It's in South Amer

Phillips is the capital city of the Republic of Acre, the For est Republic we like to call 1t by way of variety. Some call us the Rubber Republic" I dare say the nationality is not widely known, being new, and to secure formal recognition or the part of the United States is in part my mis- sion. I believe this is the first time that Acreopolis has been written on any American hotel register, for I did not stop at San Francisco on my arri- val from South America, being in a hurry to be at Washington before the opening of congress.
 T am the accredited minister of sound republic, which is established for all time. we believe. and as firmly as any in South America: perhaps more firmly than some, being as it is an Anglo-Saxon republic and then again a Yankee republic
 During the last fifteen months a so- called republic, known as Acre, has sprung up in the forest country lying partly in Brazil and partly in Bolivia. It has been established by a rich Bra gillian banker and rubber dealer named Aries who has set himself up as prssi- dent over community of about 20,0OO people, all of whom are in his employ. Demonstrations have been made against the little country by both Bra gil and Bolivia. but it holds it's own

pdIpiheIt expenses for the year were SlS4' 'H4, 4,1617S, a reduction of $95, ,O66- 4S6.6S from the previous year. In the navy department the expenditures were $55,953, ,077.72, a decrease of $7, ,9S9,- 026.5S.
 Our foreign trade shows a remark able record of commercial and indus trial progress, the total import and export for the fiscal year for the first time in the history of our country eX- ceeding two billion dollars"
 It is recommended that the internal revenue taxes be reduced thirty mil lion dollars by the remission of those taxes which experience has shown to be most burdensome.
 A BIGGER NAVY.
 An increass in the navy is endorsed and authority is asked to increase the army to 100000. including 15,G0O native troops in the Philippines. As to trusts, legislation is urged founded on a wise and just discrimination be- tween what is injurious and what is useful and necessary in business oper- aticns." As to the Philippines the president further says, pending the ex-
 
 used the authority vested in him by the constitution and by the statutes to uphold the flag in these distant is lands. Progress toward pacificatiOn has, been favorable and the only oppo- sition is in the nature of guerrilla warfare, which while ineffective to alter the general control now estab- lished. is still sufficient to beget n- security and thus delay the confer ment upon the FilipinOs of the full measure of self government which we stand ready to give them
 THE PHILIPPINES.
 Referring to his instructions to the Philippine commission. the president says: "In all forms of government and administrative provisions which they are authorized to prescribe, the fact to be borne in mind is that the government which they are establish ing is designed not for our satisfac- tion, but for the happiness, peace and prosperity of the Philippine islands. and the measures adopted should be made to conform Ito their customs, their habits and even their prejudicas to the fullest extent consistent with q just and effective government.
 A cable is recommended connecting the United S7ates and the Philippines by way of Hawaii. The message says a satisfactory settlement of the armor plate question, whereby our govern ment secures armor plate at a reason able price, has avoided the necessity for erecting a government plant.
 A DANGER OF PROSPERITY.
 In conclusion the message says:
 "In our great prosperity We must guard against the danger it invites of extravaganza in government eXpendi- .,rss and appropriations. In th4S great era cf business activity and oP- portunity caution is noS untimsly' Our growing power brings with II tenptations and Drills. It must no' be used to invite conflicts nor Tor "p- pression, but for the more effective maintenance of those principles ol equality and justice upon which our institutions and happiness depend Let us bear in mind that the founda- ton of our government is liberty us superstructure peace.
