Another new arbitration court seems to have been evolved out of the recent
 Chicago strike, the

 PREVENT city following the eX-
 STRIKES. ample of the metal
 trades throughout the country. dispatch from Chicago says the main features of a permanent arbitration plan in the city building trades have been almost agreed upon, and await only a few slight modifca- tione before being adoI.,ed by con tractors and the labor unions. The ob- ject Is to prevent strikes and lockouts and procure the settlement of all dis putes through joint arbitration board. The reported provisions of the agree n1ent and the constitution of the board seem to be as thorough and binding as those which now govern the metal trades. Representatives from the con tractors associations and the labor unions in equal numbers will form a building trades central arbitration council, and disputes are to be decided by a majority vote and secret ballot. Heavy fines for violation of agreements entered into between associations of employers and labor unions will be in- flicted, to be followed by suspension of offending members until paid. The intention to prevent a strike by all possible means is evident from the provision which states that the consent of the full council must be ob- tained by the president of the associa- tion and the trade involved, a consent which, of course. every expedient and resource. covered by the proposed plan Is designed ito oppose. These two mo- table examples in the building and metal trades are decisive testimony as to the growing desire to avoid the dis tress and loss of strikes, and will be noted with unusual satisfaction at d

GOLD USED IN THE ARTS.

The amount of gold turned into coin each year by the mints of the world is a mere nothing to the huge quantity used in gliding picture frames, painting signs, binding books. designing on fur niture and on pottery. The worlds entire stock of gold is about HOO tons. but of this 190 only exist in the form Of coin.
 The stock of coin is increasing by about 21A tons year. Four tons and a half are minted but a ton is lost by waste. This is small item com pared with the 12O tons which jewellers and gilders use up every year, and none of this vast amount is recoverable. France is the largest consumer of gold for the arts. She uses 35,000 pounds a year. Great Britain is a good second. with 34,1O0 pounds. The United States follows with 31 1000 pounds. It is estim- ated that in India gold to the value of $5.OOO,OOO each year Is withdrawn from circulation by native hoarders, and in other countries. punching them all to- gether, a similar amount.-Nsw York Press

The republican campaign in Maricopa was formally opened last night amid scenes of enthusiasm which were most encouraging to the candidates and re- publicans generally. The speeches were of a high order and the temper of the great audience indicated sympathy with the candidates in their struggle to make this a representative republican county. Fortunately the republican ticket is the strongest ever nominated here. The voters have only to scrutin- ize the records of the different candi
 dates to ascertain that the success of the republican ticket means first class administration of the .county's affairs. From this time forward the fight will
 be waged in the most thorough manner. There will be many meetings of the kind held last night and extraordinary efforts will be made to induce the re- publicans of the county to take an ac- tive part in the campaign. This is
 momentous year in the history Of the republican party. We must send a re- publican to the next congress, Maricopa county must be represented in the legislature by republicans, and republi- cans must fill the other offices. All th.s will come about if republicans will eX- ert themselves. ... ...

OLD BLACKWELL HOMESTEAD.

That familiar old Colonial dwelling, the Blackwell homestead. in Long Island City, will soon be razed to the ground to make room for a more mod ern structure.
 The old house was built in 1764 by Jacob Blackwell. after whom Black wells Island was named. He built the house after having received a grant of land from the first English governor of New Amsterdam.
 Jacob Blackwell was a colonel in the English army, and served in the French and Indian wars During the war for independence he served under Wash ington.
 Because General Washington is thought to have made his quarters in the house while retreating to West Chester after the battle of Long Island. the house has also been called the Washington House" Fenimore Coop CT is known to have stopped in the house. and. it is said. he there wrote his Water Witch.

time when such testimony is fitted to be of the most educative value

In his book on the futur3 of the American negro Principal Booker T. Washington of Tuske-
 THAT gee says: "One of the
 LEVEL saddest sights l evsr
 HEAD Saw was the placing of a
 AGAIN. three hundra1 dollar
 rosewood piano in a country school in the south that was located in the midst O. the Black Belt"
 There is a deal of common sense in that statement. and it is capable of wide applications. The negroes needed industrial training they headed to be taught to produce and save before they were brought in contact with expensive luXuries, Principal Washington goes on to say: Tn the community where this piano went four-fifths of the peo- pie owned no land, many lived in rent ed one-room cabins, and not one had q bank account The children should have been taught to read and write and cipher; the older girls should have been taught sewing, cooking and something of dairying and Horticulture, the boys rudimentary farming" Above all they should have been taught thrift and the necessity of being content with small things. In the north you may find an expensive piano in small house, but behind it you see two hund- red years of labor and thrift. The pi- ano has been earned; the family has worked up to it. The southern negroes are still at the very beginning of their economical career. There are many things they have not yet worked up to, and must for the present do without. This truth is hammered in at Tuskegee. Mr. Washingtons head is level.

THE FAULT FINDER :
seSseeooeeaeseessee3ss .

The season of the year for the beau tifying of Phoenix has come, but the beautifying has not kept pace with it. This is essentially a winter resort town. I do not mean essentially, but it is accepted as a winter resort and has wrongly been denounced as an unbear- able place in summer. So it's status has been established and it's inhabitants have governed themselves accordingly. They have been dressing it up in its best and gayest clothes in winter and have been permitting it ito go en disha- bile in summer just as they don't do in northern towns where a gay appear ance is put on in the summer and noth- ing is done in the winter but to sweep away and destroy the snow.

STORY OF DANIEL WEBSTER.

There are still some very old folks down east whose distinction as sur vivors" is that they heard, or saw. Daniel Webster deliver his oration at the dedication of Bunker Hill monu- ment. MT Hale. of the Boston Jour nal. says he once had the pleasure of talking of that famous event with Rev. George F.. Ellis, and. like Boswell talk ing to Johnson, Hale said: What was the most impressive feature of the day." We'll" said the gentle shep herd of the flock. I'm not sure that it wasn't what Webster did before he went up the hill. He remarked that he was thirsty, and I invited him to the house Of a friend of mine near by. 'WhatH you have. MT. Webster?' my friend inquired. I'll have some brandy if it's no trouble, said Webster. And what do you think? He drank tumb- lerful right down, I never saw a man do that before or since.

But this season the usual preparation for visitors has net been made. Noth- ing has been cleaned; nothing has been ornamented and even the smells which the summer accumulated have been permitted to finger. Phoenix does nCi- look nearly so well as it did year ago at this time and there is no indication that it will look any better soon. By the way the obnoxious and even crim- inal practice of burning refuse in the late afternoon and evenings is still per mitted and no sanguinary movement has been made against the fiends who drench the cross-wall1s under the gulse of sprinkling the streets.

I do net think Phoenix can afford to let things run on this way or it will lose it's reputation as a winter resort. We may have the best climate on earth but I think that it is a local fiction, though the climate Is a very good one. But climate is not the only thing the winter tourist seeks. He wants, beside. as much comfort as pos sible and as little discomfort. dirt and debris. He would, perhaps. rather have more of these artificial luxuries and a little less of climate.
