CURRENT COMMENT
..r.rJr+I..EEs::E.s.-g Washington and National Elections

There was a time, Q long time, and | it is not yet two decades in the past, when a national election, either for a house of representa- tfves or for both house and president, was fraught with very serious and sometimes sad conse- quences to this city. Election day was then day of gloom in the departments and in the homes of thousands of de- partment employees. Even an off-year election, like that which occurred yes terday might cut the cord that held many an employe in his place. A pres idential election in these days was wholesale menace. It might occasion Q sweep of the departments, bringing calamity to thousands of homes, de- pressing real estate values, and demor- ali7ing business generally.
 Whatever the practical politician may think of the merit system as em- bodied in the civil service act of 1883 and various executive orders. however his spirit may yearn for Q return CT the spells era-that came in with An drew Jackson and stood until the Ar thur administration-the department employees and all other residents of Washington, with possibly a few ex- captions, are ardently attached to the new system. They know hat it is better for them, better for the public service, and. therefore, better for the country than the old way. The place holder is no longer the sla-e of the boss. COngressmen may come in or go out, but the man or woman who is doing the work of the government in a department. and doing it faithfully, can stay. This substitutes a whole some interest in politics on the part of public servants for the slavish appre hension of the old time. Our mer- chants and business men generally are no longer harried by the menace of an exodus of thousands of their patrons whose pockets have been so depleted by campaign assessments that they are compelled to leave unpaid bills behind them. Houses and lots of discharged clerks are not thrown upon the mar ket, and ruin wrought by the conse- quent slump in real estate. For those and other good reasons, all based on common sense and sound business prin- cipleS, both official and unofficial Washington believe in the merit sys- tenn.
 There is another change in the rela- tions of this capital to d national cleo tion that has been brought about by ether means than legislation. Our citi- zens no longer apprehend danger from the introduction of new men into leg islative or executive authority. The seven-by- nine statesman who tried to gain favor with his constituents by abuse of and niggardliness toward Washington has ceased to be either very numerous or much respected. Practically all Americans are proud of the nations capital. And all it's in terests are exclusively in the hands of congress, the sentiment of the people of all the states will dictate the course of congress in the control O: these interests Post.

The Manitoba Fanatics.

A queer spectacle Is now presented in Manitoba. The Doukhobars, a branch of the Russian Mennonites, have con cluded that their mission is to Chris tianize the. world, so part Of them have left their homes and are marching around the country, calling upon every one to follow Christ.
 They are something similar to the old sect of Millerites that existed in this country some sixty years ago. The de- fusion spread throughout New England and New York. The believers fol- lowed the teachings of one Miller who announced that he had solved the prophecies of the Bible and that the world was to come to an end on a cer- tain day and Christ would appear to judge the world, after which the saints would reign on the earth, and the wicked would be cast into hell. Many people gave away their property and numbers, as the day approached, made ascension robes, which they donned and waited for the expected time Some OI lheH dSCeHueu Hllls anu SlSNdlioil9 near their town, and spent the evening singing hymns and listening to ser mons, but the day dawned and the sun arose and set, and nothing remarkable occurred. The earth continued to turn on it's axis and the saints were com pelled to leave off their ascension robes and dig their potatoes, as of yore.
 itoba are only repeating the experi- enoes of sixty years ago. By and by they, too. will discover that they are on the wrong track and will return to the peaceful pursuits of every day life. There is nothing like a little privation to bring people to their senses.

According to a statement in the Cleveland Leader the United States Steel trust will spend $1O,OGO,OO0 in en- larging it's fleet of ore carrying steam CTS upon the lakes. To this end it has contracted for every berth in the American Shipbuilding companys yards. The new boats are to be of the greatest size and efficacy. and are eX- pected to largely lower the cost of ore delivery at points of manufacture. It is only by such economies, growing out of a substantial monopoly of raw ma terial and the use of the most approved methods of transportation, that the great corporation can hold it's own against competitors and pay dividends on its enormous capitalization. How it will be able to stand up against the strain Of cverproduction. lower prices and lean years remains to be seen.

The Tucson Citizen should maintain better discipline over the Phoenix En- terprise. The Phoenix replica always makes a botch of it when it ventures to express opinions which are not furn- ished it per fast freight from Tucson. The twinkler has the presumption to call The Republican to account because this paper gives all the news concern ing the statehood question, whether that news be favorable or unfavorable. Tn the opinion of the backwoods genius who sometimes breaks loose from the Citizen leading strings, a newspaper is knocking statehood when it gives it's readers all the facts as they develop. The supreme1y ludicrous feature of the situation is the fact that on the same evening that the Enterprise attempted to teach journalism to The Republican the Enterprises intelligent boss at Tucson was reprinting the same dis patches of which the Enterprise com plained, and was commenting in the same line that was followed by The Republican. The chief reason for the great prosperity of The Republican is that it is a newspaper.

ter, 109 in the third quarter and 128 Der of deaths in any one month was sixteen, in the first month. The high est number was ififty-one, in the sev- enth month. The fact that the deaths the year would seem to absolve the medical department of the company from such of the apparent blame that attaches to it.
 An interesting item in this connec- ton is the alleged fact that 10000 ap- plications for life insurance were re- fused by the same company in the same year. The deaths occurred among per students as we'll as professors and all most every possible occupation has its representative in the death list from that of the proverbially healthy farm hand and locomotive engineer.
 There are full dozen physicians in the list three of whom died during the first three months of their insurance. None of these had policies for more than $1.OOO, except one, and he had S2, 900 on his life, so that it seems i'm probable that any inkling of impending fate had come to them or they would surely have applied for larger amounts, the medical examination being the same for applications up to S25,0OO.

The Uncertainty of Life.

The uncertainty of life is a favorita theme for sermons. but it is doubtful if it can be more forcefully presented than by cold statistics. The report of one of the large life insurance com- panies shows that during the year 1901 death policies were paid on 435 persons whose insurance on their lives had been in force less than year. Considering how carefully medical examiners are selected as rule and how thoroughly medical examinations are made. for the so-called big companies, at least, this would seem a surprisingly large num- Der of deaths early in the insured term. 1t represents actually about five out of every 1000 policy holders for whom risks were assumed by the company during the year.
 Far from considering this item of loss as due to any defect of the insur- ance system or any failure of their medical examiners to detect pathologfc conditions that were manifestedly present and should not have been missed, the company in question sets it down to the inevitable uncertainty of human life
 The company's officials are justified in assuming the very sensible position by data that may be obtained from an analysis of the death list. The deaths are distributed throughout the fnlInNNG fuh f,, flrst quarter 1O8 in the second quar-

The east and west trunk lines of rail- way in the United States and Canada are not on strike, but they are unable to move the volume of traffic offered them. Congestion is the rule. The sid ings are filled with loaded cars. The elevators are choked with grain. What is needed to break the deadlock is more locomotives. The making of locomo- lives is a process that requires time. Contracts for new locomotives have been delayed of fulfillment by the coal strike. Such emergent conditions serve to show in the strongest light the in terdependence of all forms of industry. The break of one cog throws the whole machinery into disorder.

The German Emigration association benevolentIy advises Germans design ing to leave their native land to mi grate to Brazil or to the imperial pos sessions in Africa and Asia-anywhere in fact, but to the United States of America. It is urged that by migrating to the United States the Germans soon become absorbed in the rest of the pop ulation. In the African and Asiatic colonies, on the other hand, they keep up their relations with the Fatherland But German emigrants will be much more apt to consult their own happi ness than these considerations, and consequently will continue to direct their steps to the country that affords the best opportunities for them and their families.
