ED BUTLER IS FREED.
|upreme Court of Missouri Dis-
 cy;aro,ea SA Tsnaria 3ona. N

supreme O0u1b or 01obOuE1 0AD-
 charges St. Louis Boss.
 Jefferson. City. Mo. Dec. s.-The Su- preme Court today reversed the decision of the lower court in the case of Colonel Edward Butler of St. Louis, convicted at Columbia, Mo. in October. 1902, of at tempted bribery, and discharged the pris- onep. .i
 The specific charge against Colonel But Ter was that he offered bribe of $2,50o to Dr. Henry M. Chapman, e member of the SC Louis Board of Health. to induce Chapman to use his influence in having the board award the garbage contract to the St. Louis Sanitary Company. cOr- pogation in which Butler was interested. The jury fixed his punishment at three years in the State penitentiary. Butler immediately took an appeal t@ the Su- prsnae Court and has been out on bond since that time. Final arguments on ap~ peal were heard by the Supreme Court CGkOber 13, 1e0a
 The opinion was written. by Judge Fox and was concuPred h by all other judges. The court holds that the Board of Health had no authority to let the garbage con- tract. but that this power belonged to the Board of Public Improvements. The Board Of Health having no authority to award this contract the defendant could not bribe members to do something which they had no authority to do.
 The Court quotes many decisions sus- taining this position and holds that the trial court should have sustained a de- murrer to the indictment. The court holds also that the ordinance under which the contract was to be awarded was not signed by the Mayor until September IT, 1p01. hence was not in effect and no brib- cry could have taken place, as the evi. depce showed that tho attempt was made September I6, 1901.

 Selma, Dec. Q. <
 The Commercial and Industrial Associa- ton of Selma met in the Council Cham Der last night and transacted much im- portant business, and received intereBt- ing reports on insurance and on adver- Using.
 President !. Foote Hooper presided and N. Waller was secretary. More than for- ty new members were admitted, making the total membership about seventy-five. A resolution was passed admitting cler- gymen to membership without payment of dues.
 The Committee on Insurance made out partial report. but this important mat ter had deservedly close attention. The committee will doubtless recommend the establishment of paid fire department in lieu of the volunteer system now used. A plan proposed and discussed is to use part of the reduction of insurance tariffs that Is expected to follow the innovation for meeting the increased expense of maintaining new department
 The establishment of the paid depart ment, 1t is argued, should 90 lessen the 'risxs'' of the lire insurance companies that rates should be reduced by % per cent; and it is proposed that>5 per cent, or one-fifth of the actual reduction, be ap- propriated to the maintenance of the paid department. Thus the holders of lire poll icies would he saved 20 per cent. each year and the insuring companies would be protected by the paid department.
 The committed asked and was giyen more time for the preparation of it's re- port.
 The Committee on Advertising reported in favor of the adoption of folder on which will be printed information and H. lustrations bearing upon the city and its commercial and industrial worth. The re- port was adopted and the folder will be prepared in a short time.
 l.. M. Hooper was elected to a posi- ton in the directorate of the Association. Fine Entertainment in Y. N. 0. A.

TwoFoLD FUTIITTY.

Political issues are born out of the Since they are not men-made, neither men nor newspapers can unmake them Nor can they resuscitate issues which dissolution has claimed.
 But the republican politicians. as sisted by the press. are assiduously endeavoring to create issues for the de mocracy. With the double purpose of promoting dissension in the democra- cy and obscuring the genuine questions before the people the republican pa pers are writing democratic platforms and even nominating democratic can didates.
 There are divisions which by the laws of progress separate the classes of privilege from the people. These divisions separate the two great polit- ical parties and make the issues.
 Republican politicians and organs can not unmake the great tariff-trust issues. The attempt to bury the tar,  if question, to bury Iowaism, to elim. mate the trust issue is in every way as furtile as the effort to charge the democracy with purposes which it ner, CT entertained.
 Both attempts disclose the weakness and the straits to which the republi. can party has been reduced. It is practically stripped of defenses for the trusts and the tariff, and it has no real positive weapons with which to attack. Its hope lies in discouraging the dem. ocratic party, and its greatest chance lies in the possibility of a demoralized democracy. But it's present endeav. ors should have the opposite effect "Burying" the genuine subjects oi controversy only emphasizes their real importance to the nation. while the effort to trump up imaginary issues is So transparent as to deceive nobody. Democrats should take announcement from an analysis of the motives which presently actuate the politicians and their mouthpieces.-St. Louis Republic.

The railroads that were built in Ari. zona ten years ago, under tax exemp- ton, have now been listed for taxation fox the first time. The taxation of these roads will materially add to the revenues of several of the counties Graham, Cochise and YaYapai Ora ham county gets about S250, 900 fo! nine months taxation for the presen; year on the Gna Valley, Globe & Northern railway; Yavapai will get taxes for the first time on the Jerome road, while Cochise gets the mileage constructed by the Fl Psso & South western last year. It has been stated that President Garland, of the Globe road, was contending that he was CT titled to two years more exemption under a supplementary act, but as the board of territorial assessors have listed the line NIT. Garland will proba bly not insist on his contention for further exemption of taxation The territory has ben quite liberal with these roads and they can now afford to be liberal with the territory in the mat ter Of paying taxes.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The Review desires this morning to l point to the prominent headlines on the first page of yesterday telling of the destruction of life and property at the mining camp of Clifton. A great amount of property was destroyed there and over twenty lives lost by 0 cloud burst which sent an eight foot breast of water down Chase creek. carrying everything before it to de struction.
 Citizens of Bisbee, Listen; the con. ditions in Chase creek in Clifton were not nearly so bad as the present condi- tion of Tombstone canyon. If a cloud burst should send the amount of water down Tombstone canyon that went down Chase creek on "Wednesday, the destruction of property would be much greater and the loss of life perhaps no less. Will our people move in the matter of providing some means of protection from visitation similar to the one at Clifton or will they allow the standing invitation to death and destruction to remain in the future as they have in the past?
 Unusual floods are reported from al. most every section of the country this year. Bisbee has been fortunate in escaping serious floods for several years, but we have no assurance of es- cape for another year. month, week or even day.
 The Review has often directed at. tention to this threatening danger to life and property in Bisbee, apparently without making any impression upon those who are right in the wake of death and destruction. But we shall continue our exoTtations with the same fervor and melted by the same motives that caused Cody minister to exort sinners to fee the wrath to come.
