OWING to the great Improvements in sanitation the average length of life has been increased in cities from 3l to 3S years in the last decade in the United States. There has not been so much change in the country districts, as the conditions of life have not been so grertly improved, nor were they in such serious need of imp rovement.

SECRETARY LONG, in Lincoln Day speech at Boston, has given sane utter ance in regard to the Philippines, and one that should appeal to all thinking Americans. He says the question is not one of day. but of whole genera tion; and that, when the ability of the Filipinos to administer self-government is assured, they alone should decide whether they will walk alone and inde- pendent "or hand-in-hand with us, as Canada walks with England"

SOME FACTS RELATIVE TO THE
 PROPOSED BOND ISSUE.

When the town council Of tlagstaff voted unanimously for the submission to the voters of Flagstaff the question whether or not the town should issue its bonds for $22, 900 for the purpose of taking up outstanding indebtedness and the purchase of the sewer system of the town, we said, by our action, that we believed it to be for the best inter- est of the town to vote these bonds. It is therefore due the people of the town, as we'll us the council, that the facts on which we based hat decision should be submitted to the people.
 There are now outstanding water warrants to the amount of. in round numbers, $l2,OO0, bearing interest at the rate of F per cent per annum. If this indebtedness Is carried as warrants we must prepare to pay sl 200 per an nun interest thereon. We propose to take that up with Il bond bearing 6 per cent per annum, and payable on or before thirty years from date, and thereby postpone the payment of the principal until the town is better able to pay, and save the town in interest $500 per annum.
 When the Flagstaff water works were installed it was found the sanitary con. ditions, the health of Flagstaff, abso- lutely required sewer system, that the water could not be used in the business part of town without drainage for the waste waters. The town could not at that time build the sewer system, and a few of those most interested in the well fare of the town got together and de- cided to build the sewer system and operate it until such time as the town could purchase it. We believe that time has come, and the parties who built and own the sewer system propose to accept the towns bond bearing 6 per cent interest for the actual cost of the system, 80, 429. "A, on which the town will pay an annual interest of $565. D. The income Of the sewer system for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1901, was $S99, which would leave bal ance in the town treasury over interest of S333 26. The care of the sewer system and collection of rentals would cost the town nothing; besides the income of the system in the hands of the town could be considerably increased by the better enforcement of proper sanitary laws dependent thereon.
 IL is supposed there will be small amount left from the sale of these bonds after payment of said water warrants and purchase of the sewer system that can be used in the extension of the water system in certain localities where It is much needed, but where the coun- cil has been unable to comply with the demands of the people for want of funds.
 The council believes that the issu- ance of these bonds will save to the town the first year more than $933, place it on q better financial basis, and that the revenue from both water works and sewer system will be materially increased thereby. Respectfully,
 E. s. GosNEY. of Council.

The people Of ChickAsba have

ed that many OF the men who have
subscribed have had to fight
their way through every difficulty

the promptness and liberality dis
played certainly will excite the
wonder and admiration of those
who live under old and organised
governments where expenditures
Of the kind are met by taxation
which falls alike upon all the mem

spirit that has animatedall pioneers
Of American history: the deter

nor money in order to overcome
obstacles in the way Of success.
The demand arose for bridges
and for good roads. There was
no way BY which they could be
built with county or city funds.
So the people, or those that
were able and willing, gave the
money. There was all there was
