GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The governors message delivered
 to the legislature on Tuesday is q very lengthy document, and as able as it is lengthy. The governor reviews the conditions of the territory in de tail and makes some very pointed and appropriate suggestions in regard to needed legislation.
 In reviewing the financial condition he places the assessed taxable prop erty at S33,7S2, ,465.99, and the total debt at Sl ,634,O27.57.
 In connection with the funding and loan commission, which he urges the legislature to continue in force, so far as its jurisdiction extends, he says:
 "There has been but one instance where there has been shown any dis position to ignore or evade the law in this connection. The board of super visorS of Yavapai county has failed to levy the tax to pay the interest upon bonds of that county which were legally funded and the validity of which has been established, notwith- standing that the questions of law in volved have been passed upon four times by the supreme court of the territory. The mandate of the court has been disobeyed, and the case is now on appeal to the supreme court of the United States. There is not the remotest possibility, in my judg- ment, for the taxpayers of Yavapai county to successfully repudiate this responsibility, and the officers who are accountable for the failure to obey the law are clearly derelict in their duty. Whether or not their action is due to ill-advised public clamor, par tisan bias, or incompetent legal advice, the fact remains that serious hard shipis being imposed upon the county, for there can be no ultimate escape from paying the debt with accumula- ted interest, and when the levy is finally made, as it will have to be, the tax will be more burdensome on the people than if the officers had been true to their official trust and made the levy at the proper times. Such conduct is plainly subversive of good government and revolutionary in its tendency. The attorney general will give the case his attention in the SUI preme court"
 On the question of taxation and revenue and of the inequalities of tax alton, he says:
 'Either the profits of mines or a proper value upon dividend-paying mines should also be assessed. There can be no possible justification for permitting great producing mines to escape contributing to the revenue of l the territory. 1t is frequently stated l that mines worth S10O,000,OOO in Ari- ]. zona and which pay interest to their owners on that amount, do not pay taxes upon a valuation for all their real and personal, of S2,OO0,- i 900. This is wrong, and in no way can the proposition be defended that great riches in gold, copper and silver dug from Arizona ground and dis tributed as dividends in the east and in Europe should not be taxed in some form within the territory"
 In order to accomplish the above he that the duties of the board of equalization be extended so Is to invest it with authority, and to make the work effective in this regard

Charles Page Bryan, the American minister to Brazil, has suffered a re- buff at the hands of his colleagues in the diplomatic corps. Mir. Bryan of fered a banquet to the recently chosen governor of Rio Janeiro and in the in vitations he sent to leading officials and others in the city he said that all the foreign ministers would assist at the affair The banquet was held, but none of the ministers from foreign countries was present. It was ex plained officially that they had re mained away because they had not authorized Mir. Bryan to announce that they would assist. NIT. Bryan is reported also to be seriously at odds with the Argentine minister. in conse- quence of his attempt to obtain ele- vation of Brazilian duties on Argentine flour.

SUCCESSION TO THE THRONE.

An exchange in an article in regard
 to English succession to the throne
 says that the theory of the English constitution is that the throne of Great
 Britain is never vacant. In other words, the sovereign never dies, the
 succession of an heir being instanta-
 neous. Hence, as Debrett explains it, the ceremony of coronation is mere ly a solemn recognition and confrma- ton of royal descent and the conse- qUent right of succession to the throne, and is unnecessary for the security of the title to the crown.
 It is customary on the death of the sovereign for the Archbishop of Can terbury and the prime minister to notify the heir apparent of his acces- sion, though even this is technically superhuous. The notification to the people is made by proclamation through the lord mayors and the lord lieutenants of counties, etc.
 proclamation issued when Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne read as follows:
 "Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to call to his mercy our late sov- ereign and lord, King William ", of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease the imperial crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the high and mighty Princess Alexandria Victoria, it is. therefore, here published and proclaimed that the high and mighty Princess AIexan- dria Victoria, is now, by the death of the late sovereign of happy memory, become our only lawful and rightful liege Lady Victoria, by the grace of God, queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain andIreland. defender of the faith, to whom let all, there fore, acknowledge faith and constant obedience with all hearty and hum ble affection, beseeching God by whom kings and queens do reign, to bless the royal Princess Victoria with long and happy years to reign over us. God save the queen"
 The death of the sovereign also brings the existing government to an end. The premier resigns and par liament is immediately dissolved. A general election is ordered and the sovereign requests the ministers to re- tain their portfolios pending the re- suit of the election. The coronation is usually deferred for some months. ! Queen Victoria was crowned a year and some days after her accession.
 The succession of the new Prince of | Wales to that title is quite different. When the Prince of Wales became king, the title merged in that of soy ereign. The king then confers it by letters patent upon his son, if he sees fit. The sovereign's eldest son be- comes the Duke of Cornwall, auto as it were, and is entitled to the revenues of that duchy, which now amount to f50,O00 per annum.

An Honest Official

Register James w. Howe, of Kings county, New York, says that he is making too much money and he has issued an appeal for a reduction of the fees of the office or for abolishing the fee system and the substitution of a salary.
 Mir. Howe, who has held the office of register for a year, says that he has paid his clerks better than they have ever been paid, and he has given away SS,OOOin charity, and that he is still S50,000 ahead. He says he could have made S70,O0O by conducting the office solely with the view to his own profit.
 q cannot believe that the intelli- gence of the people will allow such folly to continue" says Mir Howe.
 The turquoise mines at Mineral Park are being exploited by number of men, and two of the mines are mak- ing weekly shipments of the rich and beautiful gems. The ground or belt in which the stones are known to exist is about five miles long and from a quarter to half mile wide, and is to be all located and monumented. It is a source of much revenue to those shipping this rare product. The properties are owned largely by James Haas, an old resident of MOhave county, and well known in this county.

PICTURE OF HUMANITY.

There is practical merit In the sugges
ton of the National Commission TO the
effect that the Worlds Fair of 1907
should present a great and comprehen'
sive chronological show as one of the
prominent features.
The attractivencSS of this idea Is that
II combines in one central theme. so 10
speak, the two most necessary attributes
of Il Worlds Fair-instruction and en-
i~crtainmeGt. In the opening years of the
Twentieth Century there could be no
more valuable study than that of the va
rious races existing or the globe at this
period Of the worlds history. And un-
~questionabiy a more picturesque world
gathering is impossible than that which
would contain representatives of every
people under the sum-. assembled toSeth-
er in the dawn of a new age.
The one great requisite, Of course, to
the success Of this proposed Worlds
Fair feature is that it be made SO com
plete that no racial member of Ii hui
man family of to-day shall fail of repre-
sentation. Every tribe of earth must
have its delegates at such a convention
of humanity. In so far as is possible,
the life of every people must be shown
in miniature. The result of the adequate
carrying out of this idea is fascinating
TO contemplate. ven in fancy. 1t would
make the Worlds Fair of 1908 profound-
~ interesting and m~arvelously pictur-
esqIe. Its value 10 the student of man
kind would be i~ncalculable.
The members of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Commission have made
a most worthy and promising Worlds
Fair suggestion. The possibilities of a
vast chronological exhibit, as one of the
basic ideas of the Worlds Fair, should
be earnestly investigated. Properly put
into execution, it would differentiate the
Worlds Fair Of 1903 from all other
Worlds Fairs. and would insure an en-
~tertainment SO absorbing in human dra-
matte interest as to be epochal in its sig
n%iticance.

DON'T THEM.

President Mckinley's request that the
Cuban delegates now in Washington be
not wined and dined to excess consti-
tutes a sensible protest against an exag-
gerated hospitality which threatens
more of injury than benefit to its recip-
tents.
The Presidents warming is based up
on the regrettable fate of General Gar
cia, the Cuban patriot, whose death was
fastened by the social designations in
which he was compelled to indulge when
he visited Washington at the termination
of the war with Spain. 1t is hoped that
so much attention will not be paid to
the gentlemen who now come to confer
with the President concerning the estab-
lishment Of satisfactory relations be-
tween Cuba and the United States.
The proper course toward these Cuban
visitors is dictated by ommon sense and
ordinary good breeding. Let's be friend
ly and hospitable, but not too much so.
Killing 4 guest with kindness is any
thing but kind treatment. Go slow in
entertaining the delegates from the Gu
ban Constitutional Convention. Cuba
merely expects us to deal with her in a
fair and friendly spirit-certainly not to
founder her representatives by over
feeding and drinking when there are so
many more important things awaiting
their attention,

MR. STEAD

While there is q strong likelihood that

Nicaragua Canal as an American canal,
this fact should not contain that menace
OF war with Great Britain now pro-
claimed by Mr.. Stead as it's certain pos
session.
Nor should 1t mean, a. Mr.. Stead be-
lleveA, that Great Britain will then be
reduced to q choice between fighting and
eating humble pie. There is nc necessity
for either performance as the situation
presents itself Il . mind not acutely
emotional All that will be necessary on
the part Of England, il We shall properly
insist upon the Nicaragua Canal being
an American canal, will be to look the
truth in the face and confess that this is
an American right.

gree the knack OF being sensational He

R RrcAN CONDITIONS.

There is a very serious Indictment
against the United States Government
in the report on Porto Rican conditions
made by MI. Wenceslao Borda, Jr., in
behalf of the people Of that island.
II, ne this report declares, Porto Rico
Is now in q worse condition than when
under Spanish rule, the blame for this
fact must Of necessity rest upon the Gov
ernment which has superseded Spain in
the sovereignty OF Porto Rico. 1t may
not fairly be regarded as accidental that
such q development has taken place dur
ing the two years Of American owner
ship and control.
The Porto Rican tariff bill, passed at
the dictation Of the Sugar Trust, has
necessarily worked to the injury of the
people of Porto Rico, inasmuch as it i'm
posed q tax upon trade with this coun-
try, while Porto Rico was, at the same
time. deprived Of her old trade advan.
tages with Spain. In addition, Mr.. Borda
charges that the Hollander revenue law

pecially to the run industry, which is
the principal industry Of Porto Rico.

the part Of the administration to bring
about q change for the better in Porto

AND FLOODS.

While the rise in the rivers and small
streams of the Ohio Valley has been
larger this year than for many years,
the flood time Of the Ohio Valley, like
that of the River Nile, is an annual &C.
currence for which the rapacity Of man
is alone responsible.
Forest G%enudation has made floods an
accompaniment Of the early spring rains.
During the past fifty years the forests of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia
have gradually disappeared until the
hillsides are bare. Fires have taken
away the underground. Cleared land,
where once 4 mat Of trees and smaller
vegetation was the rule, has made the
sloping ground the birthplace of floods.
Warnings have been sent out by the
Government. The Department of Agri-
culture has repeatedly pointed out that
the raZing of the forests would produce
the inevitable results that are now being
felt by the people along the rivers and
gulleys. With no absorbent on the
ground. the water can do nothing else
than slip off with. quick current to the
natural waterways.
The accumulation of these rains with
in short periods of time runs off the bare
ground. A surplus must find an outlet.
The excess of water this year is not so
very much above many previous years,
but the lesson that has been taught by
the swollen rivers, families made home
less. manufacturing concerns stopped
and the thousand and one other losses
incident to the food is one that should
have been learned twenty years ago.
That Pennsylvania realizes the danger
may be seen from the fact that large
appropriations have been made for for
est preservation within the last two
years. Congress has greatly enlarged
this division of the Agricultural Depart
ment. Scientific treatment Of the for
csts is the order of the day. The waste
is being stopped. When the hillsides
have again been covered with a reason
able growth of timber then the people
of the valleys will not be subjected to
floods
