has been experienced in Victoria and New
South Wales. Darkness enshrouded the
city of Melbourne at noon yesterday and
balls of flame fell and set fire 10 several
buildings. The people were thrown into
a state of panic, they thought the world
was coming to an end. A similar cloud of
red dust hung like a pail over the city of
Sydney and many island towns yesterday.

Obsolete Oratorical Tours

President Roosevelt's abandoned speaking tour suggests the question. Why should a president or a presiden- tial candidate bear the fatigue and in cur the risks of q speaking tour. which even at it's best is an inferior method of communicating his views to the pu- lie?
 What is the secret of this curious survival of the oratoricaI fiction, the arduous and hazardous speaking tour by special train. with it's attendant hurrah and mysteries that mean little and accomplish nothing? Every recent attempt to convince public opinion and carry elections by this outworn meth cd has tailed. Blaine toured the coun- try and talked himself hoarse. while Cleveland stayed at home and was elected President Harrison, in 1899. midway in his term. made an oratoriral railroad trip of 10000 miles, delivering 14Q speeches in thirty-one days. But the silent Cleveland defeated him for reelection. William J. Bryan has twlcc broken all records as d travelling campaign orator, and both times was defeated by William Mckinley, who talked and travelled much less.
 The daily press is the decisive forum in which political issues are nowadays discussed and settled. Campaign speeches are effectual only to the extent to which the press carries them to the millions by whom they are not heard. The persistence with which eminent men who know this to be true still like to fly around the country on special trains. sending up rhetorical rockets as they go is a riddle. Perhaps the answer to it is that the personal flat tery of such pilgrima Ses, the dramat- ic delight of posing as orators and hearing the hip-hip- hurrah of cheer ing crowds, make an appeal to their vanity too strong to be resisted.-Nev York World.

Lesson of the St. Louis Scanda S.

There is a profound lesson to be learned from the latest developments in the st. Louis bribery cases.
 In yesterdays dispatches it was stated that one Uthoff, a councilman testified that hc had been repeatedly offered $-00C0 for his vote on q trac- tion bill and that he had been rendered $J0,C00 more if he would put a certain gas pill as a rider" or this traction bill.
 Tho man who made him these of- fcrs is q millionaire in St. Louis, d man Cf eminent ''rcspcCtability" ln the eyes Of the business world. His testimony further disclosed the fact that the en- tire city council O. Et. Louis has been rotten for years. and that legislation has been merely q matter Of barter and sale. The public is already familiar with the irOnclad blood cath that the boodlers took to protect each other.
 The difference between St. Louis and most other American cities is that in the Missouri city the grafters have been found out. That similar condi- tiCn of corruption exists elsewhere no observant person can seriously doubt.

The True Paramount Issue.

The voice of an eastern observer. who speaks with some authority, has been raised to remark that there is T wide difference of opinion among re- publicans as to what is the foremost issue of the present campaign.
 This is a mistake. The foremost issue of this campaign is prosperity. It covers and includes all other issues. It is the beginning and end of them all. No intelligent republican is blind to these facts.
 This foremost issue involves reel prCcity with Cuba and other lands, be- cause, as MT. Mckinley declared in his Buffalo speech. reciprocity is necessary to keep the wheels of our industry turning at full speed.
 This foremost issue includes also the preservation of the tariff from any gen eral revision. because general tariff revision would disturb the fixity of conditions that have contributed to our prosperity and are necessary to it's continuance.
 This foremost issue covers also the question of retaining our sovereignty and our market in the Philippines, and promoting our commerce in the Pacific area.
 This foremost issue comprehends the necessity for the early construction of an isthmian canal on a route where American control will go hand in hand with American foreign trade.
 This foremost issue is wide enough also to embrace completely President Roosevelts policy toward the trusts-a policy calculat ted to prevent the ship wreck of American enterprise in del uge of inflammation, speculation and debt, and to hold the nations business and industry to the recognized lines of safety and permanent progress.
 This foremost issue is an inherited issue. Even as set forth on this day, it came to President Roosevelt and the republican party from President Me Kinley and his administration. It is as good and live and strong now as when the great prosperity president was with us.
 In this sign the republican party goes forth to conquer, for it is the sign of signs, and they who march in it's light do not suffer defeat.-Chicago Inter- Ocean.

The drag-net operated by Circuit Attorney Folk of St Louis continues to bring in the fish. His latest catch is R. M. Snyder, a banker of Kansas City, who was convicted Saturday of the crime of bribing the St. Louis council at five years in the penitentiary The people of St. Louis, and the friends of clean government everywhere, have reason to be gratified. II is just as i'm portant to convict the bribe-giver as it is to convict the bribe-take and it is upon this theory that Mr. Folk IS acting.

We hasten to make our acknowl- edgments to the Los Angeles Times in appreciation of it's kind words in favor Of the project for government reser- vor for the Salt River valley. The point we have always made against the Times was that it did not understand the situation here, and did not compre- hend what the people of the valley were trying to do. It was misled un- doubtedly, by people from Phoenix who had access to it's editorial ear, and who had a purely selfish ax to grind. The Times understands now, however, that it is not "speculators" but the people of the valley themselves who propose ultimately to own a reservoir by re- funding to the government the funds advanced from the federal treasury for a storage dam under the provisions Of the national irrigation act But the Times should have known better than to take as correct the figures stated in a telegraphics dispatch from Phoenix a few days ago as to the cost of the Tonto reservoir. Through some error In transmission the estimated cost was given as 1921, ,OOO, ,OOO," when it should have been $2,1OO OOO.

The Coal Strike and Politics.

The shifty democrats ot New NCrk. under the leadership of David 3. Hill, hope, it is said, to elect Bird :. Coier governor on the coal strike issue And the evidences are multiplying that the democratic politicians elsewhere, even including Arizona, have so little respect for the intelligence of the masses as to figure that the deplorable conditions in Pennsylvania can be worked to the advantage of the demo- cratic office-seekers. Before the cam paign is over We expect to see Candi- date Wilson begging the voters oi Arizona to send him to congress be- cause of the great strike. But it will take all the ingenuity of . Dave Hill to show that the strike has any politi- cal bearing whatsoever. So far as New York is concerned. with the possible exception cf Theodore Roosevelt, Ben iamin B. Odell has shown that he ex- cels all of his predecessors in fearless enforcement of the laws as he finds them on the statute books. Favorit ism to either rich or poor has had no place in the policy of New York's pres ent governor. He has been especially vigilant in protecting the people from all forms of oppression at the hands of those who would override the laws, be the law-b breakers employers or em- ployes.
 And ii we had cratic presi dent what more could he do than President Roosevelt is doing? Certain ly no lack of interest can be charged to the national administration, and the whole country knows that the presi- dent is determined to do everything within his power to bring the strike to an end satisfactory to all the great interests involved.
 The democratic discussions of the coal strike have brought out clearly the stupid democratic assumption that every employer of labor on a large scale is a republican, and every la borer a democrat. Nothing could fall so far short of the truth. The facts are unquestionable that the great capi  talists of the east are about equally divided between the two parties. And as for the unfortunate strikers in Pennsylvania. election after election has shown they are almost sOlidly re- publican. Investigation would un- doubtedly prove that there are as many democrats among the coal mine owners as there are re- pubicans. Every patriotic Ameri can earnestly hopes for an early settlement of the strike, and every man with a heart in him deeply sym pathizes with the unfortunate strikers who find themselves out of employment and their families in want at the be- ginning of Pennsylvania winter. This sympathy goes out tc them un- grudgingly, regardless of the mistakes they may have made in listening tc foolish advice to strike.
 Democratic newspapers and politi- clans. when forced to cuncede that the strike should not be considered from a political standpoint, take refuge in talk about the trusts as if the trusts were republican institution. and as if

are of the opinion that it will takt: three years to complete the purchase O: the friar lands in the Philippines, owing to the complications affecting titles. However, the important point is tha1 the veXatious friar question is being settled on lines satisfactory to the Filipinos and to the authorities of the Catholic church; and when the frlars are replaced by American priests, in accordance with the policy of the pope, permanent peace may be expected in the Philippines.

Thanks to the fairness of Secretary Moody of the war department there is to be a satisfactory test of the relative advantages of constructing battleships at government navy yards and at pri- vate shipyards. The Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company has just begun work on the battleship Lou isiana, and the government is building the battleship Connecticut at the Brooklyn navy yard. Secretary Moody has issued orders to provide the New port News company and the navy yard with equal facilities for rapid construc- tfon. and so far as he can arrange it the question of speed and cost under the two systems will be definitely set- tied. Both the new battleships are ex- pected to be ready for service within forty months.

there were not quite as many demo- crats as republicans mixed up in the trusts. But there is one point at which democratic discussion stops. They don't like to hear anything about the solid democratic vote in congress in 1900 against the republican proposi- tion oi a constitutional amendment to enable the government to control the trusts.
 The one pleasing thing to democratic politicians now is the misery in which q vast population has been plunged in the eastern states. Public calamity and misfortune arc welcomed by the democratic press, and democratic dem- agogues welcome disaster to the pub lie. as the evil bird welcomes the sight of tine dead.

The greatest expense connected with county government in Arizona is the administration of criminal law. The power to curtail or multiply the ex- penses of the criminal courts is lodged with the district attorney and the sheriff. Several counties in the terri tory have been nearly bankrupted by democratic grafters in these offices. Maricopa county will re-elect A. J. Ed wards district attorney, because he is an able and fearless prosecutor, and at the same time is careful to bring no criminal action unless justice and the public interest clearly demand it. Dur ing the next two years District Attor- ney Edwards will have the cooperation of honest Billy Cook in the sheriff's office, and there will be no grandstand arrests for the sole purpose of fec grabbing.

Special dispatches to the New York papers from Amsterdam announce that Professor Etkman of the Royal acad- emy of Amsterdam has just discovered a new method by which it is possible to obtain, with the help of the Roentgen rays, a photograph of any internal part of the body, even during the working of the organs. Should this prove to be true it is the most remarkable scien- tific discovery of the age. When phys icians and surgeons are able to get an accurate picture of the heart, for in- stance, or of any organ of the body. an immeasurable stride will have been taken in the battle with disease. Ani it is claimed for this improvement on the X-rays that not only is a clear pho tograph obtainable, but moving pie lures. such as are furnished by the cinematograph, are possible. Thus the actual movements of the organs will be clearly delineated. The great defect of the X-rays heretofore has been that only photographs of hard bodies, such as bones, and bullets within the body. could be obtained.
