Ii the farmers of Maine do NOT

'her OF the State Board of Assessors
recently, ''there'n be . horse fanin.,
before many years. The reports this
su"i hoicate falling OFF in nearly
az me counties of the State. especially
III the number of cattle. One or two
counties SHOW slight gain in the va
iioCs classes of horses, but the most of
them SHOW quite a reduction. 1t an
pears as If the Maine farmer has he
gun TO depend upon Western horses
instead OF raising their own. You will
notice by the reports of the assessors
mat the number of colts, l.. 2 and 2
year-olds. has been growing less
year by year since 1892. Maine used
10 raise a good many horses when
was young and the great difference in
the aggregate is very noticeable.
There will surely be horse fam
ine, II something be not done" con-
ciuded Mr.. Plummer as the Journal
man started in to examine the records.
The examination of the assessors re-
port for 1892 and that for 1891 present
.d a startling contrast Will. the to-
tai number Of horses has increased in
ihe past nine years from l11,3 to
l2S,666 the total number of j.. > and g
y.ar-old colts have fallen from a7.3,O
10 S510 These figures indicate = ira
mcndous reduction in the number of
young horses.
The exact figures are as follows; In
1871 the number of horses in the
Whoie state. as reported by the town
and city assessors. was III .3S2; g.
year-old colts. $500: 2-year-old colts.
S645; 1-year-old colts. 1925. In 1869
there were 1856 horses; 2O59 3-year
old colts; 2254 2-year-old colts. and 1851
lyear-old colts.
In the report for 1892 the value of
the animals was not given for the pre-
ceding year. But the last report gives
the total value of all the horsefesh
tor taxation purposes for the 1900 as
follows:
Horses S6,019.569, or an average of
Si.25 each; three Year olds. 7.543. an
average of S42.51: two-year-olds, ST.
800 an average of s3l.17. and two
year olds. s50,304. an average of s2l55.
The value of all classes combined is
placed at So. 2SJ. 400.
" 'AiiN iAi icJA hht ' NOuliS IlOI StS III tIic
three classes referred averaged 5000
in each class, in 1900 they averaged
only $500 in each class.
There is food for thought in these
references to a subject of supreme i'm
portance to the farmers interests of
the State. More horses must be bred
or the Maine horse will be ere many
years nave passed only memory
Apparently the introduction of the
electric railroad in the last decade has
rot interferred with this growth in the
of horses. and from all ac-
counts there are in as good demand as
formerly. If the future is to be con-
sidered. farmers should at once enter
into the business of raising horses for
their own use and to supply the de- |
mand which is if anything on the in
crease.

 The time is not far distant when ap- pointments to the judgeships in the
 territory's four judicial FOUR districts will be made. GOOD MEN. The Republican hopes and believes that Presl- dent Mckinley will reappoint the present incumbents. Arizona has many names of eminence and re- nown on her legal roster; many men in her legal frat tarnity who would honor the highest position politics could con- fer, yet it would 'te difficult to select fro@ among the number four men who could surpass Chief Justice Street, Judge Sloan, Judge Doan and Judge Davis iA legal learning and acumen, in intellectual attainments and in honor able character
 A judgeshlp, in our opinion, should never be wade football of politics. The appointment should be for life, or good behavior. A judgeship is a position of great hoRor and dignity. It siould be placed so high. and So hedged about with salary and honorable tradition that no man would dare outrage public ssntisent by creating a suspicion of an act ROt becoming a most honorable gentleman.
 The otsic!al acts of the present incum- beats have been fair and just and praiseworthy. Their private lives are above suspicion or criticism. With one exception they are old residents 0f Arlaoaa. This Is statement worth waking and emphasizing. as rnhe Re- publican Is decidedly opposed to official importations. There Is as good mate rial for any office in Arizona as exists outside of 1t, and we believe most em- phatically in home rule. However, Judge Davis has been here long enough now to claim a residence. Moreover, he Is gentleman. and pleased with the territory, and intends to make his home with us: hence we bid him welcome.
 lt Is pleasing to note that the legal fraternity all over the territory are en- dorsing the present judges. Here is clipping from the last issue of Our Mineral Wealth, of KiTgman:
 The legal fraternity met at the court Ao%se this forenoon and signed pe- titian to the powers that be in Washing ton O have the chief justice of the su- pFeaRs court of Arizona and all the as- saciatS justices reappointed. Judge Dunbar was president of the meeting, ana Miss Sawyer secretary.

Reports from Washington that Sec retary Gage contemplates government
 bond purchases as a A means of reducing the BATTLING growing surplus are all GOOD together credible in SHOWING. view of the fact that
 the reduction in the revenue tax measure does not go into effect until July 1. Since January l the surplus has grown at the rate of more than $23O,000 day, and, making all al- lowances for discOunting tax reduc- ton. it is almost certain that fully s5O,- 0O0,Co0 will be the measure of the excess of our income at the eud of the fiscal year on June 90. In other words, our savings for the year will equal the amount of the river and harbor bill ap- propI.ations which met q timely death at the mouth of Senator Carter. Such agreeable conditions have not often fallen upon our government, but in somewhat similar circumstances bond purchases have been the only safe re- course. In the present circumstance the prices of government bonds are up, and there is no adequate motive in the money market for relieving pressure at so high premium. Any strain at that point causing an advance in money rates would naturally bring about liquidation Of bonds and give the sec retary of the treasury an opportunity to reduce his surplus and replensh banking funds at the same time.

The recent order of the honorable secretary of the interior permitting the
 grazing of stock on all THAT the forest reserves of FOREST the territory. except RESERVE those portions on the AGAIN. south slopes, where the
 drainage is toward the agricultural valleys, should be satsfac- tory to every reasonable citizen of the Salt River valley. This result has, been the bone of our contention. It should be equally satisfactory to our northern friends They may now roam their focks over the forest reserves under governmental regulations. All We of the valley ever wanted or asked for was the protection of our drainage basin. The portion of the San Fran cisco reserve south of the divide Is a very small proportion of the whole re- serve. The entire exclusion from that portion will not injure the stock inter- ests at all. while it's protection will re- lleve the agriculturists of the valley of much anxiety.
 We realize the necessity Of a more permanent water supply fn order to secure this permanence we nRust build reservoirs for the conservation of the water that falls. If our drainage basin were denuded of it's forest covering the ralns that fall would run of rapidly and be lost to us. Yhe snoYs would imme diately melt and rush of1 ih tor reats to the sea. There would be noth- ing left to retara the waters. to give them an opportunity to sink into the earth and feed our water courses. Again. if stock were permitted to yoan the ground would be cut and bsoken, stones and debris loosened. and al can- ditlons made favorable for vas, sc- cumulation of debris and silt to kc car ried down and deposited into any reSer- voir we might see fit to construct. We do not. want to build silt reservoirs.
 The people of the Salt River valley have sought protection for eur draiA- age basin-that Is all. We have no Ge- sire to iRjure our northen neishbOrs ia the least. By this decision of the secre- tary's both sides should be sst.saea and content This is the stand The Re publican has always taken. It stands there pat today.

It might be well to remember that the new city charter soon to be pre- sented to our voters for adoption or re- jection. is not the offspring of a single brain. The great need for better and broader charter had been felt by citi- Zens generally for years It was left, however to the board of trade to take the initiative. At a meeting some six months ago the matter was brought up and discussed earnestly and seriously. It was decided that the time was ripe for action. A committee was appointed to select a number of citizens, who would, in conjunction with d commit tee appointed by the city council pro- ceed to evolve a suitable charter The result of very many night conferences. of much thought and consideration, will soon be presented for our action.

But the order to General Chaffee to withdraw the American forces gives assurance that President Mckinley has not been tempted into the combination by Eng lands fiattery of "Anglo-Saxon para mountcy" and does not mean to take part in the intrlgues and schemes of criminal aggression set afoot by the preying powers President Mckinley Is acting a true American mart in China.

It is asserted that British Syndi- cate, aided by the government, intends to d,mplete the work of the army in South Africa by buying up mortgages on farms and turning out the Boers. As all the stoc., has been cleared off, most of the houses burned and little left but tae hare land, the owners of the farms are unable to meet interest charges or restock, and are therefore at the mercy of the syndicate.
