The next meeting of the anti-im- perialist league should consider the case of the liberty loving boxers who have accomplished perhaps at Pekin success that Aguipaldo and his 'ragals only desired. but could not win at Manila. They have cffcctually put down. for time at least, tho arrogant pretensions of the white man. Let them be duly canonized. The league cannot afford to make fish of the Tagals and flesh of the boxers.

If the citizens of Maricopa county desire to bond themselves for a half million to bring about water storage, congress will give it's permission. Thern will be no opposition in Washington. Citizens who desire to see this valley filled with ranches and Phoenix be. come city of 5O.oOO people, should put their shoulders to the wheel and make the bonding proposition a success. What figure would 2 half million of bonds cut in the face of the prosperity such as water storage would bring?

| means prosperity and a surplus be- tokens happiness and content. Cover nor Allen confirms this theory of rev enue by saying that this summer finds the people of Porto Rico in better case financially than they ever were under the government of Spain and that they are very rapidly recovering from the temporary diversity caused by the hurricane losses of last season.
 They are also perfectly satisfied with their condition under the government of the United States and are a great deal better Americans than the crowd that cast a slur on the Fourth of July in giving it up to a political railing against Uncle Sam and his prosperity and influence in the councils of the na- tions at Kansas City.
 It is very probable that the governor knows more in a minute about the con- !dition of Porto Rico than the entire crowd that wept over the little island in it's platform of calamity and denun- 1
 However, as it was politically neces- sary that Porto Rico should be poverty stricken and disconsolate no matter what the facts might be in the case, it was inevitable that MT. Bryan would put 1t in the platform that way and trust to the Lord to pull it through and mako if cOod Sorna way
 Maybe another hurricane will come along to save the face of the Kansas City mob that decreed poverty and dis tress to Porto Rico because congress provided an easy and inexpensive method of raising her revenue until she had adjusted herself to her new condi- tions and was ready to receive a terri torial government. At present she has the same sort of government given Louisiana in a similar transitional state, by Thomas Jefferson and his con- gress in 1894.

TIOD AN and inquires why we
 SEVERED. do not advocate a bond
 issue sufficiently large to enable the county to become the sole owner of the Tonto Basin reservoir in- stead of acquiring a partial ownership therein. The question is easily an- swered. We have no objections what ever to the county owning the reser- voir and the board of trade has given careful and commendable consideration 10 such a plan. It appears, however, that it is not easy to devise a pro- gramme which will surely succeed. Among the obstacles which may be cited are:
 l. That in any event it will be nec- essary to obtain congressional sane \ tion of a bond issue, and in all prob ability there would be serious oppos:- tion in congress to a bill providing for a bond issue sufficiently large to purchase and construct the reservoir Such opposition might defeat the meas ure. Time is precious, and the propo- sition should be laid before congress in an unobjectionable form
 2. It is possible that there might be enough opposition among the voters os the county to Sefeat bond proposi- tion carrying two millions or more.
 3. The reservoir site is legally held by the HU1soT Reservoir and Canal company, and of course no honest man would propose to confiscate their prop erty, even if it could be done. The secretary of the company stated to the board of trade-and we do not doubt his statement-that the company has already expended upwards of two hundred thousand dollars in getting the project into its present admira bie shape. The company justly considers its franchises as enormously valuable, and it is hardly likely that it would wish to relinquish ownership to the county without a profit.
 On the other hand. should the county buy preferred stock in the reservoir company it would be an actual owner and partner in the enterprise, lon the ground floor" in the proportion of it's contribution to the cost of construc- ton.
 The plan of a partial ownership of the reservoir through the method suggest ed is feasible and altogether easy of accomplishment The Republican can perceive no valid objections to the plan. and if there are any We should be glad to hear them.

A Portuguese inventor has patented an application of the electric light to fox and badger hunting. The fox and the badger are animals that live in dens underground, and terriers and other kinds of dogs are used to dig them out of their burrows or to fight and kill them underground. The ingenious Portuguese conceived the idea of at taching an electric lamp to the collar of the dog so as to light the way for him in his descent into the hole, and of making the light colored so as to scare the animal and cause it to rush forth to its destruction. A patent upon this scheme has actually been granted.

The decision will be made by the farmers and the working men, and thousands of these voters will return to the republican party. while only handfuls of democrats will vote for Bryan on the theory that silver is no longer an issue.

"A picturesque figure in American life is rapidly passing away" said a prominent Texan the other day. T re- fer to the cowboy of fiction, the man with the big sombrero, the bucking broncho and the shooting irons that he used to operate with reckless disregard for consequences as he rode at break neck speed through some frontier town, yelling the while at his loudest. Such was the cowboy of dime novel lore, and though the assertion has often been de- nied, he has existed and does exist yet in limited numbers. It is this class of the cowboy that is rapidly disappear ing. The cowboy of practical exist ence, or COW puncher, as he is known in the vernacular of the plains, is an important factor in western life. He wears a sOmbrero and can sit on bucking hroncho with all the grace of his more romantic brother, but his shooting irons are for use in guarding his herd from cattle thieves rather than the terrorization of peaceful citizens, and he is as hard worked and industri- ous a citizen as you will meet with in a days travel. Instead of leading the wild life of a nomad, he is more likely to have a wife and several young hope fuls at the ranch house. He works hard, because he has to, and if his guns are ever taken from his holsters, it is for the same reason. We have a great many more undesirable citizens in this country than the Texas cowboy

The statement is made in all serious ness that the golf fad may postpone, If not prevent, the laying of the proposed Pacific cable. The explanation is this: The great demand for golf balls has created a gutta percha famine. The supply is limited, the market has been cornered and the price has gone up So high that the promoters of the new submarine cable are unable to buy what they would need for insulating purposes. It is claimed that the gutta percha used for golf balls in the course of year would furnish insulating ma terial for a cable across the Atlantic

noon Saturday, were within 20 miles
of Pelfn."
AS Gen. Chaffee's report, which IS
the only authentic news received here
regarding the advance, located the in
ternational forces about 40 miles from
Pekin on Friday. It seems probable
that this Shanghai report is optimistic.
It is scarcely likely that the allies
could advance 20 miles in as many
hours.
A Yangtsun dispatch. dated Aug. z,
giving details regarding the capture Of
that place, says:
'The Russians and French held the
left, the British the center, the Ameri-
cans the right center, and the Japanese
the extreme right. The British and
Americans advanced on the village at
a rapid rate for 5000 Yards. under a
severe shell and rife fire. The Rus
slams opened and the British-American
advance became a race for positions,
eliminating in a brilliant charge.
"The 4eavest loss Of the day was
sustained by the Americans, the
Fourteenth infantry having nine killed
81 wounded and several missing. The
Bengal lancers unsuccessfully attempt
ed to cut of the Chinese retreat"
Another Yangtsung special says:
lowing TO a mistake, British and
Russian guns shelled the Fourteenth
United States infantry during the
night, wounding ten"
The Daily Nails St. Petersburg cor
respondent says: "No prisoners were
taken by the Russians. Wholesale mas

when the battle was over, the Cos
