It is probable that there will be a hot fight in the next legislature over the division of Graham county. The people living in the northern part o1 che county, in Clifton, Morenci, Met calf and Duncan, have to travel many miles by train, making two changes of cars, or travel overland through a very disagreeable country in order to get to the county seat. As they num- Der nearly half of the people. these four precincts having cast at the last election 736 votes while ten other pre- cincts cast 763, they think they are entitled to some consideration. If a county is made that takes in the country directly tributary to the Ari- zona & New Mexico road, with the county seat at Clifton, or Guthrie, there will be formed a county with ample population, with great wealth, and so formed that the travelling ex- penses of officers, witnesses and court attendances will be small, and these are the great expenses in all counties The new county would be great sue cess. The Liberal suggests that it may be called Colquhoun county. May it rise and prosper.-Lordsbur Lib eral.
 It would be very pretty com pliment to one whose energy and ability has done much towards the development of the eastern portion of the county.

It is coming to be admitted that copper will be the king of metals, during the present and long future. Its introduction into so many uses, especially that of conducting electric pow CT, strongly sustains this claim. The power which can be gener- ated by the rivers and other streams can all be utilized for every use requiring power, and instead of coal and oil con- sumption for the generation of power, the flowing water every where can be harnessed and made to do duty, but the trans mission of this power must be through copper wires. It does not require very lively imagi- nation to work out the inevita- ble conclusion that copper is to be king, and that copper will be king for many years to come,

The Colorado silver miners have a new scheme for bringing silver to a parity with gold. They propose to make silver slugs of the weight and fineness of the silver dollar. The idea is to circulate them as money after the fashion of $50 gold slugs used in California. They will have no legal tender value and could only be used by the common consent of the public. The scheme will prove a failure.

Congressman Davidson, of Wisconsin, who is member of the rivers and harbors commit tee, states that the committee will ask for $7O, ,0OO,OOO from the next congress. This money, it will be remembered, is expend- ed in the interest of commerce. It is proper that the rivers and harbors should be developed, but at the same time it is equal
 ly as important for the govern ment to make similar appropri- ations for the development of water for the arid regions of the west. Our government is spend ing hundreds of millions annual ly on chasing the Filipinos, but not baubee for the vast arid regions of the west, a country so vast in it's proportions as to be capable of supporting pop ulation greater than now con tained within the United States. Why should the government spend so much treasure and blood in subduing people of an alien race, who do not want our boasted civilization, when there are now so many millions of homeless people in our own country? Why not spend this money in developing homes for our own people? By a united effort on the part of all the west
 ern states it is possible that sufficient appropriation might be secured to get the work start
 ed. After the people have once seen the benefit of such an en- terprise there will be no further trouble about appropriations.

 springs. The value of the mine is simply beyond computation. Its known output is over $1, ,0O0,- 900 per month in copper, but tthe additional value in gold and sill yer is known only to MT. Clark and a very few of his most con fidential and trusted employees. The company is capitalized with 300, 1000 shares of the par value of S10 each, but for the last block of stock purchased by MT. Clark he paid $100 per share, or on a basis of $500, 900, 900 for the mine. While there are from 1000 to 1,2OO men on the pay rolls of the company less than fifty miners are employed in the mine. The remainder of this regiment of employees are en- gagged in handling the ore after this little squad has knocked it down, smelting the ore, hand ling the product and in various other capacities. The average job on the works is of short du
 ration, as there is an average of about ten men hired and as many quit every day. Miners, ma chinists and those employed in the better paying positions where skill is required, as a rule remain in the employ of the company for long periods, the shifting class being those em- ployed in minor positions at lower wages.-Journal-Mine

 The "Holston Missionary Plan" is equal ed by the Birmingham (Ala.) district Lit erary Plan" The whole connection should study it. In the first place, the Birming ham plan means a League in every charge in the district, and committee is moving successfully to that end. In the second place, it means that every Leaguer in the district shall become a student of the Bi- ble and of the League Reading Course Committees appointed to promote these ends published leafiet designating the first six books of the New Testament to be read between January 1 and May 13. The particular chapter for each day Is noted. At each regular meeting of the League this study is called up, and the chapters read the past week are reviewed the pastor usually leading. Many outsiders are interested in this way.

Back-Taxinq the University.

 been ordered to harass the University at all points. This is not done with any ex- pectation of mulcting the institution except in lawyers fees, for the law of exemption is open and plain to all who seek to know it; but 1t is evidently done as an appeal to the ignorance and prejudice of the state

Anti-Lynch Bill in Mississippi.

The Adams anti-lynch bill that the Mis- measure overnor Longino courageously asked for a bill that would dismiss from was taken and lynched, and that would impose a penalty of 5000 upon any county that became the scene of lynching. The Legislature could not bring itself up to the position taken by Governor Longino in his inaugural address, and the Adams bill was modified from time to time until it took the form in which it was passed by the senate.
 Under the terms a sheriff who Hoses" prisoner Is to be dismissed from office, pro- vided it can be proven that he did not do his best to hold and protect him; and the family and heirs of the lynchee may re- cover in a suit at law 5000 from the lynch- CTS It provides for speedy trial of a person accused of criminal assault. In the case of a sheriff the circuit court is to make an investigation, and certify its find-
  is to be final judge to the removal of the officer.
 The law is valueless except in the re- spect of speedy trials for the cases mem toned In that way mob law becomes without excuse. But no one in Mis- sissippi need indulge hope that a sheriff will ever be removed from office under the law, or that any set Of lynchers will be compelled to pay damages under it, as some men in Texas recently were. There is no honor perhaps in the Missis- sippi bill, and very little good. Public sen- timent is, however, tending towards law and against mob rule and in time no doubt aynching will become obsolete and un- fashionable as counterfeiting now is. It is an improved public sentiment that is needed rather than improved public stat utes

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Subsidies Fighting for Supremacy.

The Hanna-Payne subsidy bin is a grab of the genuine McKinley-Dingley tariff sort It is drawn to build up the rich lines, and to enrich the cheap ports. Every line in 1t is directed against the weak, and every line in it runs in favor of the strong. It takes $9,0O0OOO a year from the pockets Of the people in order to fill pockets already full.
 Not only does It's terms bear heavily ern ports, but 1t excludes altogether vessels that take cargoes of wheat from Chicago or other lake ponts to Liverpool or other foreign ports. Such vessels pass through the Canadian canals and go out to sea, and there seems to be no reason why sub- sides would not build them up as well as vessels that load at New York or Balti- more Nor can vessel loaded in Chicago bound to Montreal earn a subsidy, although a vessel loaded in New York bound to Mon- tread could.
 The Hanna-Payne people have clearly  overworked the subsidy plan. They could not see why extension of the heartless robberies of the Ding1ey tariff could not be extended to ships but the people want no extensions of the subsidy system. The time is fast coming for curtailments of the system of enriching the few at the expense of the many. This system is at the bot tom of the evil that creates in this country tramps and millionaires, the one being the corollsry of the other. Instead of more subsidies the people want less-less in num- ber and less in size,- '--- -
 If the Hanna-Payne bill becomes law an- other strong interest will be added to the subsidy crowd that now controls congress and legislation. Upon the fate of the Han- na-Payne bill depends the question of su- premacy which is now going on, the people at large constituting one side, and the trusts and monopoles and favored inter- ests the other side. The real battle is be- tween the two, and the question of suprem- acy hangs in the balance.
