The factories of Bahia can be divided
into two classes. the central ones. with
vacuum pans and centrifuges, and the
small, open kettle system factories
The former may be subdiyided into fac
tories in which interest on the capital
invested is guaranteed by the federal
government, factories which the state
has aided by loans. and factories which
depend upon private resources.

hand, that Dorsey was in love with
her. She did not make scene then
and there, but she took what was very
nearly as unpleasant course. She
could speak English very passably,
but she shut her little crimson lips
now and refused to say. a word. When
the Great Man or his wife spoke to
her, she smiled sweetly and shook
her pretty head. "No speek En-
gleesh," was the uttermost she would
consent to say. Dorsey's rage was
naturally enough, in view of the
situation-very great. But it did not
blind him to many things, to the
contrast for instance, between the
smooth brushed locks Of the Great
Mans wife, and the frizzled strands
of those of his own; between the
formers supple grace, and the lat

the formers chic, and the latter's
dowdiness. Candalaria's feet had

ANY of the Bisbee churches will bid you cordial welcome today. The moral obligation to go to church is as great in Arizona as elsewhere, but somehow or other people are inclined to neglect this important duty. Too many people seem to have left their religious devotion when they started for Arizona. Still, there is a sincere reverence for Christianity here, as much as will be found elsewhere, and people who never go to church at all are quick to contribute in a material way for their support.

 POLITICAL BATTLE.

In the Ono senatorial fight, which reaches Its climax this week at Colum- bus, the immediate test of strength being the organization of the Ohio state legislature, very interesting phase will be that which indicates Sem ator Hanna's ability to meet such -n antagonist as Foraker without the backing of a national administration.
 The popular impression has been that Senator Foraker was not only the better politician of the two, but that he was stronger with the people of his state and reasonably certain to win against Hanna in fight on even terms The belief is now to be either defi- nitely established or disproved. There is little likelihood that President Roosevelt will exert his influence in Hanna's behalf. The most that can be expected of him is that he shall refrain from helping Senator Foraker.
 Somewhat significant, under such conditions, is the outcry of treachery and conspiracy now being raised against the Foraker forces by Hanna's followers. No definite charges justify ing this outcry are presented. Every body knows, of course, that Foraker will defeat Hanna's renomination for the senate two years hence if he can. Hanna has known this all the time. Consequently there is DO treachery or conspiracy in an attempt which was known to be certain. The fact that Hanna's friends now raise such an is sue looks very much as if they foresaw defeat and were preparing to be let down as easily as possible.
 The situation in Columbus this week is peculiarly interesting owing to these various facts. Senator Hanna has ruled that state with rod of iron for some years past. The claim has been frequently advanced that his autocratic sway would be terminated the moment he came before the state on his own strength merely. That time is now here. The result of this weeks fight in Ohio will make most readable chapter in American political history

LEASING OF
 GRAZING LANDS.

There is more than probability that this congress will pass leasing law." which means a law leasing the grazing lands now comprised within the public domain, the proceeds to go to the gov- ernment. That leasing law is desira- ble for the public benefit is pretty gen. erslly conceded, says the Star, but the terms and conditions of such leasing, as provided by the bill now before con- gress. should probably be modified in several of its provisions. The proceeds of such leasing should go to the state or territory, and not to the United States, the same to be used as fund for constructing water storage dams for the reclamation of the public domain for the use of home builders.
 The leasing of the lands and fixing the price should be left to the secre- tary of the interior, who should have power to appoint commissioners for each state and territory, who would have supervision of the same. There are sections of the country where five cents an acre per annum would be a reasonable or low price for the leas- ing privilege; there are other sections where one cent per year per acre would be too high. Such, for instance, as the semi-desert arid mesa lands of some sections of Arizona.
 Arizona stockmen are generally in favor of leasing law, but il must 1e such law as will encourage and not discourage the stock industry. No doubt such law will be enacted.
Bisbee daily review., 1902-01-05

WHEN congress convenes next Mon- day the lower house will begin to pass bills for the senate to discuss. Under the present rules of the house no measure. no matter how important, is allowed to have . free discussion. The house is steadily degrading itself by Its way of passing bills for the senate te discuss. The Philippine tariff bill passed the house almost without a word of debate, but in the senate sev- sral senator's are preparing to fully discuss the measure.

Bisbee daily review., 1902-01-05

THE slight recovery of copper yester- day was most gratifying. When Wall street gets through with its stock ma nipulation there is little doubt that copper will advance again to a satis- factory price. Mining journals have maintained during the past year that there wss no over production of cop per and that there was steadily in- creasing demands for the metal. If this is true then there is no cause for lowering the price, except for stock jobbing purposes.
