A SEAPORT FOR ARIZONA.
Plans for the Develop

PHOENIX. Ariz.. April 24-If plans now
under way do not misearry, Arizona Will
be given a seaport within short time,
and the opening Of a nayigable waterway,
from Yuma to the head of the Gulf of Cal
ifornia will be a great step toward the de-
velopment of the extreme Southwest. For
several years the project Of widening and
deepening the lower end of the Colorado
River and making a ship canal TO the Gulf
has been discussed. but until recently has
not assumed tangible form, because Of
lack of capital for the immense undertake
ing. Now it is said that the Southern Pa
cific Company is supporting the scheme as
a part of its plan to gain control of the
traffic in the western part of Mexico and
Lower California
The discoveries of exceedingly rich
mineral lands in central and western
Sonora, Mexico. and the rapid develop
ment of fruit and agricultural Industries,
particularly on the west coast, promise
the most valuable kind of business to the
promoters of transit facilities. which
viii give those districts access to a mar
ket. Not only is that part of Mexico TO
be considered a coming factor in business,
but constant and recurring finds of gold,
copper lead, and silver in the peninsula
of Lower California lead to the belief
among experts that the overcoming of
the almost insuperabIe obstacles to reach
ing that region will reveal one of the
wealthiest mining countries in the world.
Placer-mining in its crudest form has
been conducted by the natives, and the
quantities of gold found in that manner
indicate sources in the mountains which,
are very rich.

has branch reaching to Guaymas, on
the west coast; but there is a vast ter

tion between both the east coast of
Lower California and the west coast of

the Southern Pacific would have a key

strange Indications of Atnvism.

Fifty or sixty years ago If anybody in
this country had predicted that the end
OF the nineteenth century and the be-
ginning Of the twentieth would mark
the revival in the United States Of the
medieval horror Of burning men alive

painful. 1t is hard to believe that any
man who ever had mother could lend
himself to the task Of executioner in
such a case, and lay on the cowhide as
the chief of police in the town men
toned did. Womanhood as such is
sacred. no matter how much il may
have been disgraced by some unhappy
member of the sex. To strip and pub
licly whip woman is disgrace
to the community which permits it,
and a brutal affront to the decency
of the nation. If immortality in the fe-
male is to be thus punished, what is to
be said of the other party to the con-
tract; for human immortality is not an
oyster tied to its shell. but something
which, as in the Suffolk case, must in
clude more than one sinner. Why
should the poor woman be tied up in
the public square and her back lacer
ated by the cruel whipcord when, if
her crime deserves such recompense, it
is equally due to half a dozen men in
the crowd Of approving onlookers?
We are not advised as to whether the
Suffolk outrage upon civilization was
committed under a State law or under
a municipal ordinance. In either event
the men of blood and courage in Vir-
ginia ought to rise in their might and
declare that no such foul thing shall be

A DEFICIENCY SHOWN.
The Havana Slaughter House Taxes
Not Properly Collected.

HAVANA, April 24.-Senor Cancio, Sec
retary of Finance, has published statistics
showing that in 1899 and 1909 there were
imported into Cuba ,224 cattle, 63, Ala
hogs, and LIE sheep and goats
During 1900 the cattle slaughtered in
the island numbered 1H.07l, selling at a
maximum price of 81 cents per kilo, and
a minimum of is cents The hogs slaugh-
tered numbered 1881. selling at a maxi
mum price of Ga cents per kilo and a min
iuum of II cents. The average consump-
ton of fresh meat per inhabitant was II
kilos
During 1900. S2,212 cattle were slaughter
ed in Havana. giving total of 1S,695,2o5
kilos. The hogs slaughtered numbered
26. 3D. and sheep and goats, 1902. During
the year 1893, the income of the munich
pality of Havana from slaughter houses
was s145,S59 If the city had collected it's
dues according TO the order of June 3,
1899. the amount collected would have
been about 100000 more. The "Patria"
asks what has become of this money. and
wants 10 know whether its loss was due
to ignorance or fraud.
Senor Cancio argues that it is not nee
essary to restore the old consumption tax
on cattle He says that during 1893. S7S.-
5G2 was collected as a consumption tax
on alcohol, or about 80 cents per inhabi-
tant By raising this tax to Sis per In
habitant the income from this source
could be increased to s229. .592. and, to-
gether with the present slaughter house
taxes. if collected properly, would give
as much as the old consumption tax on
meat
