A Drawn Battle.

Following the election of last Tues day. complete returns from the several counties of the territory came in with exasperating slowness; because, possi- ply, many unpracticed correspondents are like "Dooley's" printer-they can see no material difference between daily newspaper and an annual ency- clopeedjy' so far as the necessity of haste is concerned-but it is now known that The Republican was cor rect in assuming on the morning after the election that the contest had been drawn battle. The returns at hand from all the counties enable one to ar rive at an approximately correct esti mate of the result, notwithstanding the conflicting and confusing reports which have come from nearly every county.
 J. F. Wilson has been elected dele gate by plurality ranging from 250 to 400 Even if the larger figure be taken as correct. it is, nevertheless, so insignificant as to give the democrats no reason for felicitating themselves. and republicans may we'll look upon it as a substantial victory.
 In a state campaign the republicans will have the best of 1t.
 Three important factors contributed to Wilson's election First, Maricopa county did not do her duty. Second, because Robert E. Morrison years ago took a stand against polygamy, most of the Mormons in Graham county were foolish enough to permit demo- cratic heelers to work upon their re- ligious prejudices. Third, in the anxie- ty of the democratic machine of Co., chise county to hold on to the offices. hundreds of non-residents were i'm ported from Mexico. and they voted the democratic ticket straight. Certainly, this importation of foreign votes could not happen in a state election. And still, Wilson wins by a mere eyelash.
 The loyal republicans who supported Mir. Morrison may with confidence look forward to great republican victory in the next election.

enterprises in 1900 was 9,S35 millions of dollars, compared with 6,525 millions in 1890. The number of wage earners, ex- elusive of salaried officers and clerks. is reported at 5,S16,S02 These workers re- ceived in wages in 1900, $2, ,691, ,524, or practically ten times the amount paid in 1850. As the number of workers in creased four and one-half fold in the half century, while wages increased nine fold, the inference is that wages doubled in the period under discussion.
 Manufacturing expanded much more rapidly than agriculture during the last half decade of the nineteenth century This was to have been expected, since the output of the farms otherwise would have run far in excess of possi- ble consumption, both domestic and foreign, entailing a consequent demor- alization in prices.

A Busy Nation.

A bulletin issued last week by the census bureau shows that between 1850 and 1900, a period of 50 years, the capi- tai invested in manufacturing indus tries of the United States has increased seventeen fold, the average number of wage earners has increased four and one-half fold, wages paid about nine fold and gross value of products about four fold. With this insufficient sum ming up of data, it is plain that the great increase in capital, overshadow- ing all other figures, is traceable for the most part to the rapid multiplication of machinery, reflecting inventions, etc, probably since the civil war. The sue cess of the United States industrially is due to the universal adoption of la bor saving machinery, necessitating great capital expenditure. The figures show that this willingness to abandon obsolete methods has paid. Thus while the gross value of manufactured pro- ducts in forty years increased twelve fold, as noted. the average number of wage workers increased but four and One-half fold. The workers, it would appear, were more efficient. but as matter of fact a greater volume oe work was done by machinery. That higher standard of labor prevailed is shown in the nine fold advance in wages. It is not possible in a brief space to discuss these phases exhaus- lively, but the truth of the statements will hardly be disputed by those who are in the least familiar with the tre- mendous strides made by the United States as a manufacturing nation. The figures relating to value do not tell the whole story, since the great decline in prices of manufactured goods in the last four decades should be taken into account. Cotton cloth at p to 30 cents yard, for instance, forms a poor basis of comparison with three and five cents at present. So in a hundred other ex- amples, the disparity in prices makes comparison of values but poorly illus trative of increased quantity output.
 The value of products of manufac- turing and mechanical industries for 1900 reached the stupendous sum of 1900 millions of dollars, an increase of 3S.9 per cent being shown over 1890. and of 74.5 per cent over 1880. The amount of capital invested in manufacturing

Farming in rlexico.

According to the New York Sun Americans are surely, if slowly, chang ing the face of the country in many parts of Mexico. Until within a very few years such American capital as was invested in Mexico was used in de- veloping mines. A mine is, in a sense, not unlike a racing stable; it may com tain a fortune or it may mean simply an expenditure of money. When it be- came possible to traverse Mexico from end to end by rail the tide of travel grew to large proportions. Visitors from the United States could not help seeing that magnificent crops were raised in both temperate and trOpic zones by most primitive methods.
 The blow used by the average Mexi- can farmer ten years ago was a copy of that employed by the Aztecs. His system of irrigation was good but it was upon a ridiculously small scale. When asked why he did not dig his channels deeper and broader the Mexi- can shrugged his shoulders or said that his crops were sufficient for his wants. In some regions he could raise three crops in a year if he took the trouble to plant them. Only small bits of the large hacienados were cultivated, and the owners had deeply-rooted objec- tiOns to selling land to foreigners.
 These objections have been overcome in many parts of Mexico, and now American farmers are to be found in most of the best agricultural districts. Many millions of American money are now invested in farming lands in Mexi- co. The American farmer has intro duced modern methods and it the won der of the natives. Absolute crop fail failures are unknown in Mexico. Prices go up and down there as in the United States, but they never drop low enough for a loss, while in some years the farmer makes enormous profits La Dor is plentiful and cheap. It is also willing, and the average peon thinks nothing of working a couple of hours overtime.
 Immense plantations of coffee, tobac- co and rubber are owned by Americans, who are also exploiting Mexico's tim- Der resources. The latter are very large and contain many rare and valuable woods. Americans and Mexicans pull together, and in many cases children born in Mexico of American parents call themselves Mexicans.

POstoffice RobberieS.

From statistics gathered by the post office department it seems that certain crimes against the postal laws are on the increase There were more robber- ies of postoffices in the fiscal year than in the year before, and the robberies of street and rural free delivery letter boxes were almost three times as nu- merous. The large increase in the num- Der of the latter class of offenses is at tributed to the growth of the rural free delivery service.
 The bulk of the persons arrested for these and other offenses were persons unconnected with the postal service, but there were enough connected with the system arrested to suggest to the postal authorities the enactment of q law requiring employees to give bonds to postmasters direct, and holding post masters responsible under their own bonds for all acts and defaults occur ring at their respective offices.
 The registered mail seems to be pret- ty well safeguarded. The registered mail handled during the year comprised 22,S91, 400 pieces. and actual loss was sustained in only III cases, so that the average loss was only one out of every S6, ,156 pieces

AS TO ROAST PIG.

A correspondent of The North China Herald writes this dissertation upon roast pig: How little western writ CTS understand the Chinese, Who has not read and rejoiced over Lambs Dissertation Upcn Roast Pig? It is not everybody who has the chance of seeing Lambs fascinating story work ed out in real life. In the beginning of this Chinese year I passed through a busy market village where the peo- pie kept many pigs. In the middle of the night fire broke out in the mar ket village and destroyed the whole place. No lives had been lost, but most of the pigs had been roasted, especial ly those too fat to run quickly. Roast pigs' Burning housesl Lambs story in real life!

question the leading place in the ad-
 dresses which he made while on his recent tours. It is evident that he has given much thought to it. The an- nual message to congress necessarily covers many subjects, for Cleveland in the 1887 case, was the only president | that restricted himself to one topic ! the tariff in that instance-in his an nual communications to congress. Tn the coming message there is a proba-
 bility that the trusts will hold the lead ing place.
 Immediate and vigorous action by congress on the trusts issue is to be urged by the president. The report is | that Attorney General Knox has pre- pared, at the presidents suggestion, a bill on the trusts, which is to be sub mitted to congress early in the com ing session. It is known that the at torney general knows more than any other lawyer in the country of the workings of the trusts, and of the diff faculties of dealing with them effectual- ly. He has given the subject a great deal of intelligent study. His recent address in Pittsburg on that question was the most comprehensive and inter- esting which has been delivered by
 
 anybody on that grea tquestion in the past few years.
 The president will have the enthusi- astic support of the republican party in his efforts to bring the combines into the wholesome regulation of the law. The evils of the trust system have been shown this year in many cases. The workings of the anthracite trust were brought out during the re- cent strike. The beef trust has been attacked in the courts by the presi- dents orders in a series of suits which are still under way. The Northern railroad merger has also been assailed by the law officers of the government. at the presidents suggestion. In all O; these cases the president has the hearty support of the republican party. The attorney generals antitrust bill has an excellent chance for early en- actment.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Hoosier Politics

The Indianapolis News, one of the few really independent newspapers in
 the country and apparently free from partisan bias at all times. has this to say of the political situation in Indi- ana:
 With the opening of the last week of the campaign, it seems 10 us that the republicans of Indiana retain the advantage of position. The state was never in a more prosperous condition. In every line of industry men are busy at good wages. Shops are increasing their capacity and calling for more men. New industries are being estab- lished. Mines and quarries are work ing at full capacity. The farmers are rejoicing in good crops and good prices. While the party in power is always prone to take too large credit for good times, yet the average voter is Inclined to let well enough alone. This is es- pecially true. we think, when the op- position party is merely opposition. when it has uo positive, clearly defined Policy to offer, when it, in fact, does not appear to know its own mind or the issues before the country. and when it is lacking in real leadership.
 No one knows just what the demo- VI otAO Ptii - SNdllt4S ibI III IHuidAld lillS year; and no one knows whom 1t would be likely to send to the senate. The republicans stand for a continuance of present conditions, and they propose to return to the senate man that has represented the state with great dis tinction. It seems to US that from ev- cry reasonable point of view the best interests of the state will be served by a republican victory. We think the prospects are entirely favorable to that result

CURES FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

The home for consumptives which it is the purpose of the state to estab-
 fish will of course be an excellent insti- tution The idea is founded on expcri- ence and common sense, science and authority. But the tuberculosis con gress, held in Berlin last week, brought out with new force that common sense and science and some little experience and authority support another idea Of the duty of the community toward con sumptives. Both of these views are necessary, Christian and economic in the comparative study of the wants of society as a self-maintaining fabric

Some time after this Grant was in- vited to a cabinet meeting at which MT. Seward read a paper of instructions to him as minister of some degree in Mex ico. The contents of the paper could not have made strong impression on General Grant, for he said afterward, in speaking of the incident: 'The instructions came out very near where they went in"
 But at the end of the reading he re ? marked: You reCollect, Mir Presi- dent, l said it would rot be convenient for me to go to Mexico" Some discussion followed. and then the president rose from his seat and struck the table with some force.
 "Is there," said he, "an officer of the army who will not obey my instruc- tions?"
 General Grant took his hat in his hand and remarked, quietly:
 ''I am an officer of the army, but I am a citizen also; and this is a civil service that you require of me, I de cline it."
 He left the meeting. It happened finally that General sherman was sent to MeXico.-YOut-' Companion.

to check the progress of tuberculosis. But the official and private action to that end has not gone so far as it might have. because it has not been per formed in quite the right spirit. The notification system. that used, is dis liked in many countries and it is here. In New York no great attention has been paid to the concilliation of its opponents.
 A French physician told the doctors at Berlin how differently the same es- sential idea is carried out in his coun- try He made a long story of it. every detail was intensely interesting to physicians and persons interested in the prevention of consumption. But it is enough to describe the French mode of local treatment as considerate and sympathetic aid. Necessarily the noti~ fication system cannot apply widely ex cept among the poor. and in France the government, providing subsidies in each community, permits the local physicians and friends of the poor, act ing through societies, to assuage the suffering of the patients and at the same time to compensate the dependent family for it's loss of capability to live as before. Thus the houses of the sick are rendered sanatory and even the burden of paying for laundering is talk en from the household. Tn such ways it is found that sometimes a few months will restore q wage worker practically cured to his position as an earner of the family income. Obviously thi; treatment is the complement of that promised in a hospital. and for that reason it desc rves maintenance and all the support the latter should have. Providence Journal,

THE DEADLY "PIIEITP q

As the result of pileup scrimma ge another football player is dead. He ran twenty yards with the ball, was down. ed. The teams piled atop of him. When they arose he lay helpless. They did not realize the gravity of his condition and were about to resume play when he tainted. Within a few moments he died. A bruise was found above his heart which suggested a blow there. Also, there were rumors that blood vessel burst in his head. Not one of the players knew how the hurt was giv- cn.
 Pileups are responsible for most foot ball injuries In pileups the ball is down or nearly so. 'Pileups are hardly part of actual play.
 It is to be hoped that a remedy will speedily be found for the greatest evil in football. The utmost force, speed and resistance are conceded to be nee ossary, but it seems by no means un- reasonable that rules might be framed

to prevent many injuries without de- vitalizing the game.
 Football has taken it's high place for ever with American games of strength and skill. All attempts to dislodge it have proved futile. Its enemies have given over trying.
 The best friends of the sport concur in trying to devise rules which will eliminate danger of fatal results. There should be a way to prevent the few really dangerous styles of contest, and pileups seem to be chief.
