Just before Chairman Moore OF the

business trip. the members OF the COM
mittee held a meeting, at which time Mr.
Perry stated that he was willing and
ready 20 grant transfer tickets under the
provisions OF the act passed by the Cen
eral Assemblysin in 1885, which meant the
erection OF a central transfer station.
This. however. did not meet With the
approval of the members OF the commit
tee, and Mr.. Perry was asked 20 give
transfers as they are given In other cit
les throughout the country, that is with
out any transfer stations whatever.
TO this Mr. Perry was not prepared 10
make answer and he was asked by the
committee what objections. IL any, he
had TO adopting the same system that
seems TO work so well and so satisfac-
torily elsewhere.
To this MIR. Perry is said 10 have replied
that before stating any objections to
such n plan he would wish TO have time
to collect necessary information, figures
and FACTS and this, being a reasonable re-
quest, was agreed to.

AN OLD BUT
 IMPORTANT QUESTION.

There is not town or city in the United States as large as Bisbee which is not under the control of city gov ernment. Bisbee is conceded to have population of more than seven thou sand, and the fact that no city govern ment has been provided is suprise to all strangers coming into our midst.
 That Bisbee has not been incorpo rated long ago cannot be laid to the fact that our people are not progress i've, as there is not a more public spir- ited people to be found in the west, east, north or south. But still the fact remains that our people have been un- able heretofore to agree on the propo- sition to incorporate Bisbee.
 We believe olr people are all sincere in their beliefs on this question, still those who oppose it are doing so from an entirely erroneous standpoint. The incorporation of Bisbee would be a progressive step as well as beneficial one. It would enable our people to carry On their Improvements in order ana under regulation, aud with an equal burden to ali interested.
 The question of additional taxation should not stand in the way, because the benefits to be derived would more than compensate the property owners.
 Let the friends of incorporation con- tinue to urge the proposition with ear nestness and we believe that at an early day a practically harmonious consent can be obtained for city incorporation.

CARNtGlt'S OTTER.


 As soon as it was announced in Wash ington that Andrew Carnegie had put a steel point on his educational gift to the government, by offering steel trust stock instead of cash, there was stren- uous disapproval of accepting it by senators and congressman, and when President Roosevelt reached out and felt the public pulse he was not long in refusing the offer. The concensus of Washington opinion is said to have been expressed by prominent senator when he said:
 ''If c ngress were to accept Mir. Car negie's gift of sl0, 100000 of steel trust certificates it would in sense put the seal of its official approval upon that trust. The fact that Mir. Carnegie's offering is in trust stock means that it presents ten million reasons why con- gress cannot accept it. The Attorney General of the United States has been asked to prosecute that trust as vio- lator of federal laws. He has refused to do it. Al this very moment his nomination to be Attorney General, not yet confirmed, is under the scrutiny of the senate, and one of the charges brought against him is that he has failed to do his duty in prosecuting that trust. It is further charged that before he was nominated for Attorney General by President Mckinley he ad- vised the organizers of this trust how to violate the law and escape punish ment. Under these circumstances, how could congress accept in the name of the government trusteeship of the securities of that corporation9 It is impossible
