HIS WIFE IS OUT OF TOWN.

We see a man with underlip that has a
 downward droop. Upon his face a scowl as If he'd fallen
 in the soup, He roams about the busy streets in ap
 uneasy way, And puts sarly accent on the things
 he has to say. He goes into a restaurant and drops
 into a seat And wonders why they've not a thing
 fit for dog to eat. And if you care to seek the cause that
 makes him feel so brown. Youn not have very far to look; his
 wife is out of town. We see another man dressed up un-
 usually gay. He wears smile of gladness and a
 buttonhole bouquet: He joins the cruising parties where the
 white topped schooners sail, And goo-goos all the pretty girls who
 chance to cross his trail, At striking of the midnight hour he
 yet is on the street. Is strenuous in his efforts to control
 his wabbling feet: He wears his hat tipped sideways on
 his beer-befuddled crown; The mousy knows the cats away; his
 wife is out of town.

Senator Quarles of Wisconsin. who is chairman of the senate committee on Indian affairs. announces that he ap- proves the proposition to make the In- dians self-supporting. Washington dis patches state that the senator agrees with Commissioner Jones and Governor Murphy in the belief that to make the Indian self-supporting should be the aim of the government, and that it's attainment would solve the problem. In general way he thinks the first steps must be the breaking up of tribal relations, the allotment of Indian lands in severalty and the admission of the Indian youth to the public

The prompt manner in which the Mexican government disposed of the Lisaldo case is another proof of the anxiety of our neighbors across the line to cooperate with the authorities of this territory in bringing criminals to justice. Lisaldo two years ago mur- dered a Mexican woman in cold blood, in Yuma. He remained in hiding until he was located a few weeks ago in So- nora. A requisition for the fugitive was issued upon the governor of So- nora by the governor of Arizona, anG he was promptly apprehended and lodged in jail at Magdalena. Although born near Yuma and undoubtedly an American citizen, Lisaldo set up the claim that he was a Mexican citizen and in addition to his own testimony produced testimony by "paisanos' that he was born in Sonora and lived there the mind of the governor of Sonora concerning the citizenship of the pris- oner, and the case was referred to the federal authorities of Mexico, only the president of the republic having power to deliver a Mexican citizen to a for eign power. Their promptness in or dering the murderer turned over to the officers of Arizona is proof that there are times, at least, when the Mexican authorities ignore red tape.

The presidents message being the longest on record, he will undoubtedly treat many subjects exhaustively, and it is confidently expected that he will take a strong position in favor of the reclamation of the arid lands by the government, and state the reasons foi. his position at length. This surmise is based largely upon the positions taken by the secretaries of the interior and of agriculture in favor of developing the water supply of the west, for it may be safely assumed that these cab inet officers consulted their chief be- fore giving the subject such promi- hence. It is quite certain that the government in the near future will take important steps toward the settle ment of the arid land problem, but this fact should not mislead the people of the Salt River valley into believing that the programme in view embraces aid for lands already settled and high ly valuable.

PHoEN1x, ARIZONA. NOV. 30, 1901.

To Lord Salisbury's statement that the war in South Africa can be ended
 only by the uncondi- THE tional submission of the PROIJFIC Boers. President Kruger ROERS has returned a grim de-
 fiance The world is therefore taking stock of the sltra- ton in order to guess how much longer the struggle may last. How long. how ever. it will take Kitchener to wear out his antagonists by the process of attrition nobody can tell, for one Of the curious developments of the war has been the fact that the British au- thorities have been mistaken all along as to the number of the enemy In the beginning 1t was asserted that the Boers could not put more than thirty thousand in the field, yet the official records show that fifty-three thousand have been captured already, and yet there are enough remaining to keep the whole British army active over an area of nearly half a million square miles, It is estimated that there are per haps ten thousand of the sturdy Dutch yet under arms, but events are likely to prove that this estimate is too low. The popular ignorance con corning the strength of the two repub- lies under Steyn and Kruger makes it less strange that during the terrible troubles that have befalien the Boers of South Africa almost nothing has been said of their brethren who had the fn 1Ray long ago and make new homes in Port ugese territory. They are thriving there. as comfortable a people as can be found anywhere. They are un- doubtedIy very glad that a quarter of century ago they left the region which has lately been the scene of so much bloodshed.
 It is a curious fact that the Boers never attempted to explore the coun- try north of the Transvaal, which is now known as southern Rhodesia. If they had trekked in that direction it is quite certain that they would have been driven out by the British. for Matabele Land and Mashona Land have a gold bearing area about 5000 square miles in extent and the British want it for themselves.
 But though they did not trek to the north there was an exodus of them to the northwest between 1874 and 1880. It was a terrible journey, for they crossed the thirst lands of the Kalihari and suffered great privations, travelling for months with their slow OK teams till at last they reached Angola.
 There they settled down at a place called Huilla on a lofty plataeu among the mountains. The first party con- sisted of thirty-seven families number ing 27O souls with fifty servants and 5000 oxen. They drove along with them 5000 sheep and goats; and so they be- gan stock raising in Portuguese terri tory considerable number of their friends joined them later in this lofty and beautiful country. They are still living among the mountains about eighty miles east of Mossamedes. Eu- ropeans who have visited them have

While the immigration to the United States seems to be on the increase it's character seems to have improved somewhat, at least from a negative point of view. The total steerage ar rivals during the last fiscal year num- bered 4s7.91s. an increase of 3s,3i6 or about 9 per cent, as compared with the preceding year. Of the increase, 2.020 came through Canadian ports. The addition Of 74.s50 alien cabin pas sengers to the figure given above makes a total of 562.s6S for the year. It will be seen. therefore. that the tide of immigration is swelling. for we have to go back to the early nineties to find totals approaching that for last year. Of the steerage immigrants over two- thirds were males. and more than three-fourths were between the ages of II and 45. Somewhat less than a fourth. 117.5S7 to be precise, were unable to read or write. Those who were able to bring over more than s30 apiece num- bered 56,312, but 294. .s60 were able to bring sums less than that in amount. The ratio of increase of Italian immi- grafton for the year was 36 per cent. more than three times the ratio of in crease from all Europe. The numerical increases from the other European countries aggregated scarcely a fourth of that from Italy. The point is brought out by Commissioner Powder ly in the report from which the above figures are taken that, though there were more arrivals last year than the year before, the number of those re- jected was considerably less.

spoken words of high praise of their little settlements. of the comfort hat fills the small Dutch cottages and of who maintain a few schools although the bible is almost the only book in their libraries.
 The Boers at Huilla and Humptata not far away, are maintaining a state within a state: for although within Portuguese territory they have their own government and have little to Go with the Portuguese. They have kept themselves nearly distinct. showing no tendency to mix very much with the natives or the whites who live in the country.
 These Boers now number about 5000 souls. They are still devoted chiefly to cattle raising. Their soil Is well drained, their pastures are rich and the colony Is prosperous. Perhaps, however, they will soon have a little more civilization than they want: for the Trans-African railroad syndicate is already planning to build a railroad from Port Alexander on the neighbor ing coast through the valleys inhibi- ted by the Boers on to Buluwayo, the capital of Matabeleland. Port AleXan- der as present has small importance. but the intention is to supply it with all shipping accommodations, and the railroad which will start from it will be used as short cut overland to Cape Town.

Some years ago." says The Kansas City Journal, "a Kansas farmer con- cluded to put out a crop of broom corn. He wrote to the secretary of the Kansas board of agriculture asking what kind of broom seed he ought to SOW to reap the best results. I haven't given the broom corn question much thought replied the secretary. but I would advise you to plant the striped handle brand. as that seems to be the best seller"

M'K1NLEY MEMORIAL PARK.

The latest plan for the preservation of the historic lands of the Pan-Ameri- can about the temple of music. where President Mckinley was assassinated. was discussed yesterday at the meet ing of the creditors of the exposition. Notwithstanding the financial loss sus- tained by some of these there was the best feeling. All seemed to agree that 1t would not be right to fail to make some feasible plan to preserve the tenn pie of music site and thereon erect a Mckinley memorial. It was suggested yesterday publicly, and it has been under discussion privately for several days, that the best plan for the preser- vation of the site so historic will be to buy enough land adjacent to the Rum- sey site to make a Mckinley memorial park Of course, a government appro- priatfon would be necessary for this which appropriation would be added to by subscription from Buffalo and else where. and this fund might be added to by donation from the Mckinley Ma tional memorial association. It was the general opinion among the exposi- tion officials and among the creditors yesterday that there should be no haste made in removing the buildings in the vicinity of the temple of music: that public sentiment be given an opportu- nifty to move favorably toward the scheme of the Mckinley memorial park. Official action in the matter is likely to be taken in a few days and q committee will probably be appointed to make recommendations Courier.

nights too, answered the traveller; ''pigs
roamed these streets not long ago, l have

in favor of pig-he does not bark. But
the dogs-they surge up and down the
streets like an invading army, in and out
and round about they go with a racket
that would rouse the Seven Sleepers, And
as if these roaming at large were not
enough, they confine some and these yelp
and snarl with a persistence worthy of
better cause.
