It Never Grows Old.

When will the time come when Uncle Toms Cabin will lose its charm to the rising generation9 Judg. ing by its present freshness itsalluring power will -be perennial. There is something in the skillful combination of the patheic and the humorous that never fails to fascinate, and the story that it tells of the suffering of the poor slaves ap- peals directly to the finest sensibili- ties of the human soul. Such plays are better than sermons. They point a moral and adorn tale. They teach us lessons in thoughtfulness and charity. They impress on our minds the precepts ofithe golden rule. Mrs. Stowe's book is one of the greatest books of literature, because it deals with questions of immeasurable hu- man import, and the play itself is one of those simple master pieces that can never die. If it does no more than to keep alive the memory of the rise and fall of one of the greatest inequities that history deals with, it was not written in vain. The Ed. F. Davis colossal Uncle Toms Cabin company will appear at Dake's opera house Tuesday, Oct 23rd.

 With chairman Jones, of the ma tional democratic committee, defend ing his cotton trust in the courts of Texas and Boss Croker and his band of Tammanyites defending their ice trust in the courts of New York, Bryan is left alone in the campaign to cry down with the trusts"
 Our contemporary a short time since was claiming that the republi- can national committee had all kinds of money to spend, and this morning quotes from a democratic paper to the effect that it is in straitened circum- stances. It is a case of working both sides of the street.
 It is noticeable that even the me who differ radically from the Presi- dent on particular questions of policy and administration do not question the purity of his motives nor his entire sincerely. On the other hand, many of those who support Mir. Bryan do so suspecting these very things.
 The empress dowager had better look out or she will find herself classed with Aguilaldo. She has carried her capital off in a wheelbarrow once more.
 Chairman Jones observes that he doesn't care anything for New York as long as he is certain of carrying Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Wiscon- sin. Probably not-so long as he carries these states.
 Which is the worst for the country -Bryan's secret alliance with Aguin- aldo, his open alliance with Croker, or the alliance, ridiculously charged to exist, between Mckinley and Queen Victoria9
 Our contemporary inquiries why it was necessary to legalize those Yava- pal railroad bonds. For the very req ! son that repudiationists were at work in an attempt to repudiate them, and success in that line meant a destruc, ton not only of the territorial credit, but of the credit of any public enter prise attempted in the territory. Had those those bonds been repudiated there is not a city or town in the county or territory that could have floated any of its bonds for any kind of public improvements.

A Charming Reception.

Mrs. James W. Akers gavea charm ing reception yesterday afternoon at her residence on Pleasant street. The residence was beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses, and her parlors were thronged from half past two o'clock till 6 p. m. with ladies.
 Mrs w. A. Cline presided at the piano and discoursed sweet strains of music during the afternoon, while the ladies chatted pleasantly and partook of delicious refreshments. As the guests took their departure each was presented with a handsome American Beauty rose as a souvenir of the Occa- sion.
 Mrs. Akers is a charming hostess and an adept at the art of enter taining.

Some Census Figures.

The census bureau has given out some figures in regard to Arizona from which the following are taken. The population Of the territory is given at l22,212, an increase of 72,592 or 104.9 per cent. The population of some of the cities and towns are as follows: Tucson, 7.531; Phenix. 5,545; Prescott, 3,559: Jerome, 2,S6l; No gales, l,761; Globe, 1,495; Yuma, l,402; Winslow, 1905; Flagstaff, 1,271; Tempe, S29; Mesa, 722; Tombstone, 646: Thatcher. 64. As the last cen sus gave Prescott d little less than 2,0O0 it will be seen that the place has nearly doubled in population.

ACKNOWLEDGE THE MISTAKE.

~We believe that it wa5 some time last March that one of Delegate Will sons printed congressional speeches in behalf of Arizona was circulated in the territory. The speech contained the statement that Arizona had IOO.- OOO population. When the Journal Miner saw this speech its taxless toots of indignation were long and loud. It said in effect that nothing was to be gained by wilful misrepre- sentation. Now that republican cen sus takers have officially given Ari- zona greater population than Delegate Wilson claimed, We do hope that the Journal-Miner will be just as much mortified at its mistake as it seemed to be at its alleged misrepresentation of facts by Col. Wilson. Courier.
 Unlike its contemporary the .Jour. nal Miner when it makes a mistake is always willing to correct it and does so eheerfully and manfully without any attempt to wriggle out of if or bv attempting to prove the truth of if by neassertlng the same thing. The pa- per only cheerfully acknowledges that Its estimate of the population of Ari- Zona was erroneous. Its estimate of course as It Is presumed also that wilson, was of the population ex elusive of Indians, Or the white popu- lahon. While this falls few thou sand short of IOO,OOOitis near enough that figure to justly lay claim to 100, OOO. The figures gwen out at 122,O0O as the Journal-Miner understands, in ludes the Indians in tine territory the white population being about 97, GOO.

Coal Strike Ended.

A conference was held on Wednes- day in Philadelphia between indi- vidual coal operators and representa- tives of the big coal carrying com panies with a view to bringing about a termination of the strike.
 The result was agreement to the demands made by the Mine Workers convention. The Reading company issued the following statement:
 "It hereby withdraws notice of October 3, and to bring to practical uniformity the advance in wages of the several coal regions, it will sus- pend operation of the sliding scale: will pay 10 per cent advance on Sep tember wages and until April 1, 1901 and thereafter until further notice will take up with mine employees any grievances they may have"
 The Lehigh Valley company, in whose region the sliding scale is also in operation, will issue a similar no tice, as will also individual operators represented at the meeting.
 This meets all the demands of the strikers and means the immediate ending of the strike.

Elevation of San Francisco Mountains.

Prof. A. s. Douglass of the Lowell observatory of Flagstaff, furnished the Coconino Sun with the following data of elevations around Flagstaff:
 The heights and distances of some well-knOwn points have been measur- ed in a recent survey. Taking the depot floor as a standard, at 6,S67 feet above sea level, the sidewalk in front of P. R. Weatherford's residence is feet higher or 6,S75 feet. The floor of the observatory is 345 higher yet, or 7,220 feet above sea level, and and distant 4,S60 feet in an air line, as the bird flies. By road it is proba
 bly, within a few feet of mile.
 Agassiz Peak up which Doyle'stra goes, is 5,455 feet above the sidewalk in front of Mir. Weatherford's, or 12,- 330 feet above the sea, within about 5 feet. Its distance in an air line from that point is 1922 feet. From the Methodist church the air line is ex- actly 9 miles. The lower peak to the east, Fremont, is 405 feet lower than Agassiz, and distant 100 feet less than one mile, making it 1895 feet above the sea and S2 miles from the Metho- dist church. Humphreys Peak, the highest poing, is miles from Agas- sig and 276 feet higher, makitg it 12,- eos feet above the sea and 105 miles from the Methodist church. By road, of course, these distances from town are two or three miles longer.

.EVADES EVERY QUESTION.

Our contemporary founders al
 around the questions propounded il
 the Journal-Miner in its issue oi
 Wednesday, October r. in reference
 to the illegality of those railroad
 bonds, but never gets near enough to any of them to make any answer to them, except to say that it makes no difference about the date as to when they became illegal" It makes all the difference in the world, as the county paid interest on them for seven years, as well as S27,OOO of the
 principal, and if the bonds were il- legal at that time, the Courier as the
 chief calamity howler of the territory and the self-constituted guardian of the tax payers, interests, was derelict inits duty in not raising its war whoop against this illegal payment.
 So long as Mir. Bullock's road, of which the Courier was the avowed organ, was running, no one ever heard a whisper even from it of the illegal ity of these bonds, The bonds were issued in aid of his road. and to have said anything about their illegality at that time might have been displeasing to him. But it matters not whether this be so or not no word was uttered raising even a suspicion of their illegaIity. Just as soon as Mir. Bullock's road ceased operation though was the time when the wonderful alleged discovery was made that they were illegal and should not be paid, and this, too, de- spite the fact that men representing seventy-five per cent of the taxable property of the county had signed pledge to see that they were paid,
 It certainly does net take a very high order of intelligence to see the inconsistent position taken by those who, for political purposes, favor re pudiation of the payment of those bonds, and who to make some pre- tense of honesty in the matter clothe it with the flimsy, gauzy cloak of il legality. There is not one intelligent disinterested man in thousand who on plain statemement of the facts connected with this bond transaction who will not say without hesitation that Yavapai county is morally under to pay this obligation in full. as well as legally So.

DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.

It is really amusing to see the eagerness with which democrats grasp at the slightest official action by the administration to raise hue and cry against 1t.
 The Medley case and other cases pertaining to the Cuban postal scan dal were recently advanced on the calendar of thesupreme court so they will come up for hearing in November and be disposed of rather than to let them drag along until forgotten. For thls action western democratic editors jumped on the supreme court, charg- Ing It with being partisan in advanc Ing the cases at all. Eastern demo cratic editors, on the other hand. charged the administration with want ing the cases postponed until after election. Anything against the ad- ministration Is the motto of the op- tJDoAliDAl- ilO lllrtllCl llON inconsistent [.
 After helping to get the treaty with Spain ratified, Bryan raised the cry of imperialism against the republican ad- ministration for its acts in carrying out the provisions of the treaty. Had the administration failed to act in the way it has it would have subjected it. self to legitimate criticism of being autocratic in ignoring the will of the people as expressed by their represen- tatives in congress, it is needless to say that the democratic party would have availed itself of the opportunity to raise its voice against the admins tratiOn.
 It is a case of fault-fnding with the administration if it does a thing. and a howl if does not.

Ell Paso Progressing.

Ell Paso expects to have a hanging
very soon, at which a recent inmate OF
the New Mexico p~enitentiary will be
a central figure. And another man yet
in the penitentiary here will probably
have to swing for the same crime. New
Mexico is perfectly willing for Texas to
claim her own in these cases, but as
the murder was committed before the
men came here, the territory should
have been saved the cost of ~convicting
and keeping them. A New Mexico Off
Ger found that they could be disposed of
to FL Pasp officers, who had BEEN tardy
in locating the outlaws, who killed one
of the rangers Of the Lone Star state
in providing for the execution of the
vaglant m~urdeIeTs, and has shown
some disposition to have a hanging,
even if all the men who have "a pros
pect of execution in that town are Ia
tives of Mexico or descendants of men
bern in that country. 1t has been many,
many years since there was an eXecu-
tion in the Texas city, but as am innova-
ton is to be made there is a probability
that the habit of hanging criminals may
be contracted, and some of the Texans
who serve men for the coroner's break
fast every few days in that warm num-
Der among towns may yet be yanked
by the knotty end of a rope.

C0ntraband Of War.

The action of Great Britain in Selling
-four destined for Delagoa bay, under
the belief that it might be secured by
the Beers, again raises an old subject
for International discussion. The ques-
tion as to what is c~ontraband is not
clear, and seems TO vary according to
circumstances. Great Britain may
maintain, if she dares, that provisions
shipped to a neutral port accessible by
land to her foe, are contraband. A pro-
testant whose goods are taken must
rely on the courts OF the offending
try to award him damages, unless his
government goes to war, makes repri-
sails on bluffs the offender. But n
thing is certain-Great Britain may find
it impolitic to press the point concern
ing provisions being c%ontraband, for in
the future other countries may hold her
to this decision. Being a dependent ma
tion as far as a food supply is con-
cerned, she may some day in a wal with
a naval power find her provisions held
up. In the war between France and
China In 1856 France declared cargoes
Of rice destined to certain ports contra
band. England protested vigorously
that the ruling should not apply except
to particular cargoes which 1t could be
proved were destined to go to- the hos

The Nineteenth Century.

Bushels Of paper and lots of temper
have been wasted in the Improbable
discussion as to whether the nineteenth
century has ended. The same sort of
discussion was INDUCED in by the smart
set and those not so smart just 100 years
ago. 1t is difficult for the parties who
SEE differently upon this mooted and
minor question to know how the other
fellows cam have a contrary opinion.
Certainly, if one had nineteen apples, he
would not have disposed of the nine
teenth until the very last mouthful was
eaten, and then would begin upon the
twentieth. The century will end when
the last day of the year 1900 passes
And then another century will
begin. This settles it, and no man nor
woman either will be allowed space to
print any communication to the con-
trary. SO Intending controversialists
may as well save their paper and ink.
The century still lives.

Government Should Own Cables,

There is a measure before congress
that contemplates guaranteeing to a
company that may lay a cable from the
Pacific coast to the islands of the Phil
ippine group and Hawaii a subsidy for
a number of years of $500, 900 annually.
The construction of the cable would
cost from Sc, 900, 900 to $S,0 DOC, 900. The
cost would be no greater than that of
each. of three b~attle-ships now provided
for, and the government should itself
construct and operate the cable line.
There has been quite enough of expe-
rierce in backing corporations, in the
matter of the Pacific railways. Public
ownership of the cable lines hereafter
built would be a good beginning toward
keeping public utilities out of the hands
of trusts. 1t may be that the opposi-
ton toward extending interests in the
may make congress fear to APP
propriate Sc, 900, 900 to construct a cable,
but that would be the most economical
plan in the long run.

States is in the field for business. Even
now mules are being shipped from this
country for use by the British army in
South Africa. There is no secret about
1t. If President Kruger should desire to
buy mules and an American should ship

right to complain of the United States
violating the neutrality custom. Ger
tainly when Americans ship Hour TO sell

a good deal upon the gratitude of the
