The United States paid 81, 200, 600
for Alaska, and last year it yielded
$5, s31, 355 in gold and silver alone.
These figures are given by the statis-

the precious metal product of 1898
was So, 1877, 0Ss. Until last year most
of the gold and silver obtained ir

The Cuban Scandals.

In its variegated history the present
administration has been called upon
to face scandals, the outgrowth of it's
political corruption. more than once,
but never before has it encountered a
situation of the kind to cause it as
much direct concern and alarm as that
created by the carpet-baggers' loot OF
the Cuban treasury. The panic is SO
acute in the white house that word
has been passed all along the machine
newspaper line, asking friendly edit
ors to suppress the scandal as much as
possible, not to feature it. and to min
imize it editorially. The effects of the
disclosures on the fortunes of the
party In power and on the candidacy
of Mr.. Mckinley are keenly feared

AS the result of 90 years of expert
ments at Rothamsted, England, it is
shown that in the winter months more
than half of the amount of rain that
falls penetrates into the soil and be-
comes available for the supply of
springs, while in the summer only
one-quarter of the rainfall is absorbed
by the soil. The maximum quantity
of water in the soil is at depth OF
about 40 inches.

A new solder for aluminium has
recently been patented, which the in
ventor claims will melt at o low tenn
perature, and will adhere readily to
the aluminium, forming surface
which will not be attacked by mois-
ture. The solder is composed of an
alloy of tin, zinc, and bismuth, the
tin being largely in excess of the other
constituents. With zinc chloride as
fux, the solder can be used on brass,
copper, nickel, iron, and other metal.
The difficulty of finding q satisfactory
solder for aluminium has prevented its
use in many instances in place OF brass
or tin, and also in electrical work
where close and perfect joints are
desired.
There is now in the patent Office two
watch movement escapements, which,
when they appear, it is said, will as
tonish the world by their simplicity
and capacity. They possess more of
the best points of tinekeeping than
the marine chronometer. The advan-
tage of the new escapements is that
they gives impulse at the line of the
centre without drop or engaging fric-
tion, and also at the neutral point OF
the balance spring, point which the
matchmaker will appreciate. Impulse
before the line of centres and neutral
point distributes aud accelerates the
balance as the force of the hairspring
is added to the impulse in the lever
watch. Those who have examined
the new escapement say it is an ideal
one, with the soft, clean and distinctly
musical beat. Springers and timers
are just beginning to find out the
fault of the lever. All the faults of
all old systems are said to be fully
overcome in the new escapements,
which are the only invention of es-
opponents for century.

when bonds secured simply by the property of the reservoir company would go begging.
 The third objection is easily met. How was it proposed to settle with the Phoenix Water company for their plant and franchise in case of municipal ownership? Of course the reservoir company should be compensated for whatever they have expended on the enterprise, and the county could afford to allow them good round sum for their site. However. there must be q limit. If the reservoir people held out for an eXorbtant figure, the county could pursue the same course that rail- road companies do when an unreasOn- able farmer wants too big a figure for a right of way. The interests of the people are certainly as important as those of a private corporation. We have waited long and patiently for storage by private enterprise. now why not go ahead and do it ourselves?
 There is one phase of the situation that has not been considered sufff- cinetly. I think. the opposition of tax payers of the county, outside of the val ley, who would not be directly bene- fitted by the proposed reservOir-op- position which is well grounded. Why should the property owners of Wicken- burg, the Buckeye country, the lower Gila and the upper Verde valley, the owners of mines and stock ranges throughout the county, be taxed to es- tablish an enterprise from which they will receive no direct benefit? Suppose Wickenburg wanted a shelter and pro posed to bond the county to build it. A great many I grant, would favor even this. but is the principle right? Is it eXpedient? I believe We should first ask congress for authority to establish an irrigation district, its boundaries to be determined by the lands proposed to be covered by the storage water, and at the same time, obtain authorization for the district to issue bonds in sufIi- ciert amount to build the reservoir. If later it was found advisable to extend the limits of the district, it could read fly be done. and if the St. Johns and Buckeye and lower Gila people wanted . to come in at any future time, provision should be made SD that they could do SO.
 If this plan for bonding the county to the full amount is defeated at all. 1t will be done by forcing people outside of the valley to vote on the proposition, whose self interest will incline them to vote against it. We must discard as much unnecessary opposition as pos sible, and go to Washington with unit ed front. In no other way can any plan succeed.
 I believe the plan I have outlined is the best but if the majority favor some other plan. I'm with the majority every time, as the need is pressing. We must act, and at once.

CHANGES AT THE
 COURT OF ITALY

Italy's new king has been guilty of a gross piece of injustice, if, as asserted by the cable dispatches he has dis missed Gen. Count Ponzio Vaglia from his offices at court in consequence of the d. ath of Humb5rt. The general, it is true, was the minister of the royal household, the chief of the kings mili
 tary establishment, and the granI marshal of the court, and as such nom finally responsible for his sovereign's 5 safety. But the task of providing for the immunity of crowned heads and royal personages from all harm a the hands of cranks and assassins is in Variably confided to a special body of secret police, all of them picked men, who are the persons directly spOnsi- ble for the safety of their illustrious charges. Were anything untOward to happen to Queen Victoria, the official held responsible would b. Superintend- ent Of Police Fraser. who is resp nsi- sible for her protection and who like of- ficialS fulfilling analogous duties on the continent, is allowed his pick of the en- tire metropolitan police force. Fossil hly. too. the nation might insist on talk ing the secretary of state for the home department to task, as well as his su- hordinate. the director of the criminal investigation division. But no one would dream of placing the blame cn the shoulders of Lord Pembroke who, as lord steward of the household. Occu- pies the same position at the court of St. James as Gen. Ponzio Vaglia at that of King Humbert.
 The old gen -ral was devoted tO his royal master, Wh m Fe hal known from boyhcOd. and had been attached to his staff in various cap2citiss from the time that he first joined the army. The gen eral is a typical north Italian, pos sessed of all the characteristics of the Piedmontese. He is as taciturn and re- served as the Neapolitan is garrulous and effusive. Het is the very soul of honor. and absolutely faaricss in the performance of his official duties. He aspired to no political role or influence. although the minister of the royal house is supposed to be the principal adviser and ''alter ego" of the king, and throughout the tenure Of his office h. contented himself with mere obedi- ence. The king invariably treated him as an old friend and c mraIe. addressed him as thou and was wont to talk to him in tha homely Piedm5ntese dialect.
 The general had been blamed for nat having shielded the king with his own boz rom the bullets of the assassin. and i'T o@7 iUct has b zen compared. to his Disadvantage, with that oc Premier Cdiroi, who. Wh n Passanante at tempted to stab Humbert at Naples. in 1878 threw himself in front of the king and received in his breast the knife which would otherwise have been plunged into the m1narch's heart. But those who cast this slur upon the general do not know him. and it is car-

Lead and oil was good enough paint
till the merits of zinc were found out.
1t was profitable to paint lead and oil
it was then-but not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes
Devoe lead and zinc last twice as long
and cost no more; costs less-a trife
less, not much. Lead and oil is mixed
by hand; Devoe lead and zinc by ma
chinery. Might as we'll make ones
shirts by hand as mix paints. Say it
costs S100 house to paint lead and oil;
and it lasts three years.
Say it costs the same for Devoe; which
lasts six years-it will last ten years, in
favorable conditions, unless you want
to repaint to change the color.
