LET Us HAVE RELIEF.-At the
earnest request of large number OF
people, 1t is suggested that the authori-
ties place some limit this Fourth OF
July to cannoncrackers, toy cannons,
dynamite caps, and other torturing de-
vices which render Independence Day
to many twenty.four hours OF intense
suffering. The law positively forbids
the firing of cannoncrackers 10 any Vir-
GINA city or town, while the city ordi-
nance makes 1t o misdemeanor to cell
even firecrackers in the city limits.
There is no disposition on the part of
the msjority to stop such procedures en-
tirely, as they afford qualification to the
younger generation. but they strenu-
ously object to the practice being begun
before the stars are out Of the sky and
continued until after midnight. 1t is
hoped the Mayor will come to the
rescue aud interdict all such conduct
after o'clock on the night of the
Fourth, and that he enforce the statute
against cannoncrsckers to the letter.

Washington advices state that the supreme court will, in all probability, hand down its opinion, next Monday, in the cases involving the jurisdiction of the United States over Porto Rico aud the Philippines. Courts are not infallible, and even the supreme court of the United States, although the tri- bunal of last resort, has not always been free from political bias and infiu- ence, but it is to be hoped at least that in the cases involving the status of the people of our island possessions, the courts decision will be unanimous, or so nearly so as to leave no suspicion of its having bsen swayed by ulterior mo- tives or by any consideration of polit- icsl expediency

INCORPORATION A FAILURE.

The movement for the disincorpora- tion of the Town of Globe took definite shape last Saturday in the circulation of petitions favoring such action, and which petitions have been signed al- ready, we are creditably informed, by the necessary two-thirds of the tax payers of the town whose names are on the assessment roll In this issue of the SILVER BELT Is presented some of the reasons for disincorporation from the standpoint of those who favor the movement, and also statement signed by the members of the town coancil, and appended to which is a statement of the receipts and disburse- ments of the Town of Globe since its organization.
 The SILVER BELT favors and will continue to advocate disincorporation flor one reason among others, that it Is an expensive luxury, for which the compensating advantages are ridieu- lously inadequate. Aside from the sprinkling of the main street, the town has derived no benefit of consequence from being incorporated and the sani- tary conditions are if anything worse now than when the town organization went into effect nine months ago. The ordinances passed, and few of which have been enforced, are too numerous, and toe exacting in their provisions.
 What was needed was simple village government, to enforce such sanitary measures as would keep the town req sonably clean, to sprinkle and keep Tn condition the main street and to main tain order and punish misdemeanors. {. and the salaries of town officers should have been made correspondingly small.
 There is a good deal of false sentlmentailty, and we might truth fully say, hypocrisy, expressed over the alleged moral benefit from incor. poration, which is exposed when the fact is made known that vice is cup pressed in one place and licensed iu another within the town limits. There are laws on our territorial statute books to regulate vice. Why not enforce them without discrimination?
 The council declare that if after the facts given in their statement have been presented and "a majority" of the taxpayers still stand for disineorpcra. tion, the council will gladly acquIesce and abide by the will of the people.
 That Is all that can reasonably bs asked of them, and they will certainly be called upon to fulfill that promise

We have had the pleasure of peruS- ing the prospectus of two works of un- usual interest, which are sold only by subscription and for which Frank Jordan is the local agent.
 The Great Galveston Disaster is the title of book giving full and thrill ing account of the most appalling calamity of modern times. It con tains vivid descriptions of the hurri- cane, and tales of many heroic deeds performed during that awful disaster, The work is profuSely embelliShed with photographs taken immediately after the storm. The auther is Paul Lester, a writer of note, and the intro duction by Richard Spillane, editor of the Galveston Tribune.
 Queen Victoria, complete story of the career of Queen and Empress, and Life of King Edward III, with brief history of England, is a work that has peculiar interest just at this time, and should meet with large sale. The book is edited by John Coulter, the historian and John Coo per, editor of the Canadian Magazine.
 These books in addition to their lt- erary and historical merit, are hand some volumes, in three styles of bind ing and well worth the subst ription price.

Our Phoenix Letter.

PHoENIX, Tuesday, Feb. l9.-The prison legislation, which has taken un- expected turns within the last three weeks, was believed to be practically out of the way yesterday. Council Bill No. 92, which provided tax levy of 4 cents for the enlargement and inn provement of the territorial prison, was passed by the house by so large a majority that it's friends felt that they had nothing to fear from the gover- nor's veto. The appropriations com mittee had recommended reduction of the levy by one cent, but in the general excitement of debate that was overlooked, some members support ing the bill who would not have sup ported it if they had understood that the committee amendment had been adopted.
 Friends of the bill were magnani- nous and over-confident this morning. They moved reconsideration, rely ing upon sufficient strength to over ride the committee amendment. Thus the bill was once more brought before the house, when a question of the reg ularity of the course of the bill was raised. It was contended on the part of antagonists that the bill carrying an appropriation should have had it's origin in the house. This question bad been raised before, but there was nothing in the statutes or the organic act having any bearing on it. It has since been discovered that the consti- tuition directs for the national con- gress that bills for raising revenue must originate in the lower house. It is also directed that in the absence of any regulation or law in any territory, this provision of the constitution must apply Friends of the bill accepted this view and this afternoon an ar rangement was reached by which new bill directing levy of ,! cents should be introduced in the house. This was done and under suspension of the rule the bill was passed and sent to the council.
 Mir. Houston's bill for the licensing of transient focks of sheep and goats was defeated last night, though it had the active support of the cattlemen here. Objection was raised against it's double tax feature.
 The bills for the maintenance and improvement of the university and the two normal schools, all carrying increased appropriations, have been passed.
 The committee on appropriations have figured that the levy to meet the appropriations already voted or pro- posed will reach S1. l6l, an increase of 3l. cents over the levy of the last two years. The end is by no means in sight. This legislature is distinguished for it's liberality. It remains to be seen whether the taxpayers will join in the general good feeling which now exists among the legislators and the institutions so generously provided for and the beneficiaries of the numer- ous relief bills.
 Great preparations are in progress for the capitol dedication ceremonies next Monday afternoon. S.
