EDUCATION IN MEXICO

The Monterey News says that prob ably no nation in the world is doing so much as Mexico to reduce Hitter acy. The work of extending common education is not one that can be ac- compiished in a day but it's periods are measured by generations. The pass ing from the old regime, under which only favored few were highly educat- ed in order to At them to rule over the masses. has given place to the demo- cratic idea of educating all the people in the fundamental branches and giv- ing the greatest possible opportunities to those who desire to take the high CT courses As result of this policy, illiteracy in Mexico is confined almost wholly to elderly persons, while the rising generation is being we'll school ed"
 And the boys and young men of Mexico are learning English as well as Spanish. The men of affairs in Mexico realize that the business in tercourse of the two republics is be- coming closer every day and that in a few years we will commercially be one people, hence they want their sons to speak the English language so that they can conduct their business with out the aid of interpreters.

WORLDS FAIR

Copies of circular letter issued by the Supreme Hive of the Ladies of the Maccabees at Port Huron, Mich, with reference to raising the fund for the temple of fraternity at the St. Louis Worlds Fair have been received. The ladies' fraternal organizations will raise $50 900 of the s200. 900 fund. The assessments among the ladies for this pdrpose range from live to ten cents per capita, according to the strength of the order. Many appropriations ranging from s2,00o to $5.o0O each have been made by the Masons and other bodies from their general funds, but the bulk of the sum win be in small contributions. The project has been endorsed by the Maccabees, Mod ern woodmen, Ancient Order of Unit cd Wmkmen, Odd Felloxs, Eastern Stars.

CORN AND THE DRoUTH.

Government statistics just made public in Washington shows an enor- nous drop in the exportation of corn and other breadstun for 1901, over that of previous years. It is estimated that s7 per cent of the total figures lave been reported.
 The table shows the exports (Quanti- ties and vaiue) Of corn and cornmeaI eots cad oatmeal. whsat, Hour and other breadstuffs.
 The direct and most marked reduc- uon, of course, is In corn, which was most largely affected by the drought ef 1S01- The exports1ion of corn at she principal ports, shown by the pre- Hminary of the bureau of ststisdcs. amounts to 2s.0O0. % bushels in the fiscal year ending June %. 1902, a against 17s.0oo.o 900 busheb at the same ports in the preceding year. the value for 1902 being e,o0o. 900, as against ss2,000.oe0 in the preceding year, a reduction $es, ,0oo, 900.

4 HARD YEAR.


 years experienced in Arizona The long continued drouth has reduced the agricultural production of our val legs fully one-third. Some sections have suffered much worse than others but the average shrinkage in crops, attributable to lack of water for irri- gation will not amount to more than thirty per cent. In the valleys this loss, however, was not evenly distribu- ted among the farmers. Priority of water locations afforded some of them . much better water supply than oth- CTS. In the Salt river valley and in the Gila Vallc there is much land that has had no ,;ater since last winter, and in such cases, of course, nothing whatever has been produced. Then there are instances of land favored by priority of water location that has suffered very little from the drouth and average crops have been pro- duced.
 The cattle industry has also suffered seriously and from every range sec ton comes the report that cattle are dying. In many instances cattle have been moved from ranges on which they have grazed and thrived for years, because of the total disappearance of water in the mountains, which here tofore had been considered permanent It would be hard to even approximate 1y estimate the loss to the cattlemen caused by the drouth. Thousands have died, and besides, practically none were shipped this season, be cause there weak condition would not permit it. This fact has left many more cattle on the ranges and conse- quently augmented the loss.
 The mining industry, too, has sui tered material loss, as compared with recent years, because of a drop in the price of copper. In most of the camps working forces have been reduced and on many properties work has been suspended, not in every case on ac- count of the price of the metals, but because of the increase in the cost caused by the very unfavorble condi- tions of the other industries of the territory.
 Notwithstanding these conditions he territory has been growing despite the very unfavorable seasons and con. ditions of the present year. There is scarcely county or town that has not increased in population since the beginning of the year. The mining in dustry is constantly expanding; money is coming in more freely than ever before; new properties are being ? opened up and old enterprises ar< preparing to increase production, and whatever prosperity Arizona is en joying today is directly attributable to the mines which are paying in creased prices for all the supplies produced in the territory.

GOOD ADVICE.

The advice given by President Mitchell, of the United Mine workers, at their convention in Indianapolis, it is hoped, will be followed. No good could come from sympathetic strike, O. the bituminous miners, who have
 o grievances to either themselves or lne anthracite miners who are on a strike. The principle of sympathetic strikes is not one calculated to help labor unions, who encourage or en- gage in it. It is punishing the inno- cent for the sins of the guilty. Be cause one employer refuses to grant fair treatment to employees should not endanger employers against whom la bor has no grievance. Angels should not be prevented from singing because the Devils fire is too hot. It is all right and proper for labor that is op- pressed to seek relief, but nothing can be accomplished by labor unions or any other organization by visiting punishment on their friends because of the acts of an enemy.
 Then again, the friends of the strfk- CTS can render them much more as sistance by remaining at work and dividing their earnings with those in trouble, than they can by leaving satis- factory employment and thus becom' ing powerless to render any assist ance

Some Art at the Capitol.

1t was very clever and oBservant
Washington gentleman who recently
called the attention Of the reporter
to two Of the eccentricities Of art
in the Capitol. The first occurs
in the big painting in the rotunda
"The Marriage of Pocahontas." Tho
Indian in the foreground has eleven
toes, six on one foot and the usual
number on the other.
Equally generous was the painter Of
the picture, Washington Resienipg
His Commission" for he has given TO
the two young girls in the right fore
ground Ave arms between them. The
girls stand With their arms resting on
each others shoulders. but another
hand is to be seen about the waist Of
the nearest girl, thus giving the other
young lady three arms. True. the
hand seen at the waist may possibly
be meant to belong to the father Of
the two girls, who stands beyond
them; but If 50, the old gentleman has
an arm OF extraordinary length. just
double what it should be.
And anyone who takes the trouble
to look viii find the two pictures are
just as described.
