Every once in while man, disgust
ed with the battles over the dollars left
by dead men. decides to dispose of his
property during his lifetime. He wants
to be benefactor. to make glad those
who need the wealth he possesses, to
bestow charity and feel the good of Civ
ing. The world doesn't seem ripe for
that kind of philanthropy. Many have
tried it and died poor and neglected.
The man who has robbed himself to
benefit others isn't always sure of kind
ness and consideration, more's the pity.

enemies where he hoped to do only

One of the curious facts reveal

One Of the curious facts revealed by
the census for 1900 is that for the first
time since 1900 has the center Of popu-
lation not only ceased to move west
ward but actually has receded little,
and is now on the Miami River, just
north of Cincinnati and short distance
east Of where it was ten years ago.
This is generally ascribed to the greater
increase Of city population as compared
with that of the country. Whatever the
reason, however, Ohio is again the
pivotal State as to population, and the
Buckeye is ready, as usual, to sit down
on the pivot and gather in the offices as
they come along.

There are certain families in this
country the members of which deem
public office their own prescriptive and
peculiar right. Having had fathers and
grandfathers in office, they feel that
holding is their inalienable privi-
lege Hence Uncle George is a Federal
Judge, Uncle Tom is Commissioner to
Revise the Fish Laws, Grandfather is
Consul to Timbuctoo, and Aunt Jane is
his clerk. Willie and Harry and John,
having grown too big for Senatorial
pages, will be put somewhere in the
Treasury Department. The national
government is especially infected with
generation after generation Of these
parasites. The only power equal to a
suppression Of the plague is Congress.

COPPER Is KING.
The Red Metal will Continue to Hold
First Place.

Scientists on both sides Of the sea
have come 10 the conclusion that cop
per is to be king, says the Western
Mining World that in future domains
OF industry in its production can never
exceed the demand; that electricity Is
destined to be the motive power OF the
new century, and until some other sub
stitute can be discovered or invented,
copper will be more and more needed
in fact. faster than il can be produced.
For there is really an industrial revela-
tion impending, and the advance dur
ing the Gast ten years, when men were
20 TO speak, studying the alphabet OF
electricity, has been great. To Amer
lean copper experts this increase for
these ten years has been from g., 300,-
600 TO s36, 900. 800 annually. In ten
years more, wherever possible in run
ming manufactures, steam will be dis
pensed with, and some river mile or
twenty miles away will have to be do
ing the work and sending it in sub
Limited form on a wire to turn the
mills. Coal has so already advanced
in Europe that il is a serious matter
for manufacturers. The natural in
ference is that il a man in EmefTca
has real first-class copper mine, he
has something better than gold.
For the eleven months ending No.
vember 80, 1900. the exports of copper
from the United States was (long touS)
I46. sos against l64 262 for the cor
responding period of last year. Ger
many's consumption OF copper this
year shows large increase over that
of last year. The figures for the ten
months ending October 3lst, 1900, are
57,001 long tons, against 5l,623 for the
corresponding period of 1899. There
is every indication that the demand in
Europe for copper will continue and
go on increasing. Electrical enter
prises of all kinds are on the increase.
London alone is expending oyer 800
ON, 900 in eouipping electrical roads.
All OF the large European cities are
following suit, and every copper mine
in the United States will be kept busy
supplying the demand.
Morrison, Keewich & Co. of London,
says: zone of the strong points in the
copper market is the great demand iu
Europe for American copper, and ad-
ditional strength OF the situation lies
in the fact that consumers stocks are
reduced to minimum, and :hey have
booked larger lines of orders Tor man
ufactured goods without covering
What l. said to be the
largest foreign order for copper wire
ever received in the United States was
booked in New YORK last week. 1t was
for one million pounds to equip an
electric trolley road in India.

change OF any kind is desired. and as
the mining is paramount to all other

ANOTHER viscious bill has been in
troduced in the territorial legislature,
which, il passed will prove a great
hardship on the poorer class of citizens
who desire to obtain their own homes.
The real object OF the bill is to ire
vent outside building and loan COM
panies from operating in the territory.
Building and loan companies as class,
whether local or international in their
character, should be surrounded with
the same Safeguards as national or
private banks. But they should be
placed on the same footing each with
the other. For the reason that one
company is composed altogether of
home people is no reason why it should
have monopoly of the business. The
borrower wants to get his money just
companies are to be excluded he can
not borrow at all. New Mexico tried
similar law recently, and in his mes
sage the governor recommended that
the law be repealed, ana outside capt.
tai be asked to enter the territory on
an equal footingswith that OF home in
st:tulions. There is not a town of any
Importance in Arizona in which resi-
dence, as well as business property, is
earning less than from thirty to forty
per cent on the Investment. This is a
tremendous tax upon the man who is
working for a monthly salary, and is
one of the main reasons why so many
of the best mechanics soon become dis
cOuraged and leave the territory. By
all means give the working classes an
opportunity to own their own homes,
and they will become permanent citi-
zens, and will assist in every way to-
wards the development of the terri
tory. Kill the bill.
