Boy Napoleon OF Trade.

A few months ago Willie Piesbeck,
Of Dutch Kills, l.. l., won a one
armed monkey at raffle~ After few
days he traded the prize for an old
bicycle, which he fixed up and rode.
Soon firing of the wheel, he traded 1t
for a worn-out white horse and hired
the animal out until he had saved
enough from the returns to buy q
small wagon. Thus equipped, he
started in the wood business. He now
owns two good horses. two good
wagons, and fairly good looking
carriage, as well ASIA pretty pros
porous business. In fact. he is the
only rival the wood trust has In
Dutch Kills. and is more than holding
his own with this corporation. Willie
is only 16 years old. He evidently
possesses the genius which made
Napoleon great.

"Nothine But an American" :"

John Hay. in his wise and witty speech at the Ohio dinner in New York spoke of his own mixed ancestry and his changes of residence as a 'bewil- derment of origin and experience" and said that he could only put on an as- pect of humility in any gathering oi favorite sons and confess that he is nothing but an American" The mix ture of blood of which he spoke-En- glish. Scotch. German, French. North ern and Southern-very well typified the origin of the --merican character of which John Hay is himself so good type, and the significance of his plea that he is nothing but an American will not be lost on anyone who puts his whole country above any of the narrow subdivisions of locality. of race or oi previous allegiance that are so obnox- ious to a sound national spirit.-Phila- delphia Ledger.

Deadbeat Scheme in Missouri.

Some states-New York is one of them-do not allow their public officials to accept passes on lines of travel Mis- souri Is different. Not only is it lawful there to offer and accept passes. but it Is proposed to make their issuance com pulsory A bill has been introduced in the lower house providing that every railroad or other transportation com pony doing business in Missouri shall furnish lree passes over it's lines in the state to all state officers. judges of the supreme, appellate and circuit courts. and sheriffs, the passes to be good dur ing the terms of all these officials. It Is further provided that any transpor- tation company in the state that fails to grant such passes shall forfeit it's right to Go business in Missouri One argument is that if all the officials get passes none can be charged with ac- cepting them for improper considera- tions. It Is suspected. however, that covetousness, backed by a notion that railroads are legitimate objects of a stand and deliver" policy, is behind the scheme. But why railroads alone ? Those Missouri legislators should make the bill more comprehensive and so en- large its scope that no public official shall have any public expenses what ever to pay during his term of office Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Alaska RnundarY.

The signing of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain for the settlement of the Alaska boundary dispute appears to be a decided victory for the United States. The treaty pro vides for a commission of six members, three from each side-practically the same proposition which was rejected by the English and Canadian repre- sentatives on the joint high commis- sion three years ago. The work of the old commission, which involved a con- sideretion of various matters which had been long in dispute between the United States and Canada. was pro- gressing favorably until tde commis- sion injected the new Alaska boundary question. The British members of the commission suggested arbitration, which the American commissioners were willing to accept, but not on cer- tain conditions which were demanded. It was then that the United States of fered to have the matter submitted to body Of six. without an umpire.
 The settlement of the Alaska boun- dary depends upon the interpretation of the Anglo Russian treaty of 1925. which defined the boundary between British Columbia and Alaska, and in- wolves the thirty-mile strip which Rus sia ceded to the United States. The contention of the United States is that the western border of the strip should be the shore of the mainland. the Can adians claiming that the thirty miles should be measured Trom the outer rim of the islands which shirt the coast. Until gold was discovered in Alaska neither the United States nor Canada care one way or another about the measurement of the territory. But the discovery of the precious metal gave the wild country sudden importance. If the claims of the United States are sustained, Canada will not possess any of the natural waterways such as Taku Inlet and the Lynn canal. which lead to the rich Klondike region. The early settlement of the matter is greatly to be desired.-Buffalo Express.

CURRENT COMMEaT
Judges and Litigation.

In Chicago a movement is on foot for the appointment of six additional judges for Cook county. the argument. of course, being that they are needed to clear the docket and give suitors speedy relief. Former Judge Lambert Tree, well known throughout the coun- try, has written an article in the Chi cago Tribune opposing the scheme ear nestly. He declares that the extra judges are not needed, and that the chances are that, if they are authorized, a proportion of those selected for the places will be men whose sitting on the bench would tend to degrade its dig nifty. What is needed. he says, is a de- crease of litigation. Tn Illinois anybody may begin a suit and prosecute 1t in definitely for s1O court fees. Any suit may be defended for B. These low fees and the facile compliance of judges with the requests of counsel that cli- ents be allowed to sue as paupers (2.0O0 such ''paupers" begin suits annually encourage the institution of suits with out merit. Low fees encourage defend ants to fight suits that are meritorious
 Judge Tree proposes that, instead of in creasing judges, the legislature in crease the court costs of the losing party and provide severer punishments for lawyers who induce people to bring suits that should not be brought. He would have, also, a system of district courts for petty cases and limit the right of appeal. Then there will be no need of more judges.-Boston Herald.

Copper in Russia.

That Russia will be an important faa- tor, ultimately, in the production of copper is generally known; but it has been very difficult for Americans to learn many details concerning the pos abilities in that direction. From time to time reports have been in circulation that American syndicates were prepar- ing to operate in Russian territory, and more than once it has been said that Senator Clark had invested in the Si- berian field, but it appears that so far no capital from the United States has gone into the development of Russian
 copper mines. Our consul general at Frankfort has made some transla lions

The Governments Neglect of an I'm.
 pOrtant Industry.

All mining men, and most newspa pers in the west, are familiar with the fact that the governments statistics of the geld and silver production in the several states and the territories are not reliable; that is, while the aggre- gate production may be approximated with reasonable accuracy, too much guess work Is used in arriving at the total produced by the segregated di- visions. As we demonstrated not long ago, a decided injustice is done to Ari- zona by the present system of gather ing the statistics. The Colorado Springs Mining News, commenting upon the same subject, renews the sug- gestion frequently made, that there should be a department of mines, or at least a bureau of mines. in order 70 have closer attention paid to the min ing industry by the government. The suggestion is not practical now. in view of the recent creation of a de- partment of commerce, but 1t Is to be hoped that the just criticisms which have been directed against the statis- tics furnished by the government will lead to a reform in collecting informa- ton concerning the precious metals of the United States. Says the Mining News:
 ''The Arizona Republican, in a re- cent issue. calls attention to the un- reliability of the figures of the director of the mint as regards the gold pro- ducts of the mines of that territory.
 "The case of Arizona is similar to that of nearly every state in the union which produces gold, as, from the ex- perience of Colorado. the product only which reaches the mint is taken into account by the officials.
 "Arizona's yield of gold, as estimated by the director of the mint, is slightly over S4,000. .0000, whereas The Republi- can claims double that amount, giving as reasons that fully one half the pro- duction is sold in bullion form to pur- chasers in San Francisco or shipped to the smelters in the copper and other ores. the value being credited only to the smelters, and the origin of the ores not being traced.
 "The injustice of the present system
 
 or computing the gold product is ap- parent to all who are acquainted with the gold mining industry, and it is high tune that a change in these methods should be made.
 Tt is time that the great mining in dustry should take its proper place with the other industries of the na- tion.
 Tt is time that the industry should demand a recognition from the nation by the creation of a cabinet office either devoted to mining alone or in connection with some other industry.
 "The government is the natural gatherer of statistics. and such sta tistics should be reliable. They should not be made up from one source alone, but should be gathered from all possi- ble sources. They should be gathered in such manner that when the totals are completed they can be depended upon. At present the reader is left to guess"

from Russian publications and trans mitted the information to the state de- partment. and from his report 1t Is gathered that Russia consumes annual ly about 22000 tons of copper. 14O00 tons being imported. Until Very re- gently the districts of the Ural and the Caucasus furnished the bulk of the copper produced in Russia-90 per cent of the total. The ores are treated for obtaining the metal by electrolysis. For some time, however, it has been known in expert circles that central Siberia. especially the government dis trict of Krasnojarsk, contains inn mense deposits of copper ores. which and contain a relatively high percent age of metallic copper. It is estimated that 211s tons of ore would produce one ton of copper at an expense of about $95 per ton.
 Since the Trans-S Siberian railroad, which traverses this district, has been completed and the cost of transporta- ton to Moscow, the chief market for Russian copper. hah been greatly re- duo q. the total cost per ton at Mos COW would be about $t27 During the last five years the price for pure cop per at Moscow varied between s4SO and s524 per ton.
 A Russian English corporation has recently been formed and, it is report ed. has received concession from the Russian government for the exploita- ton of an area of about 1900 acres. about no miles from the River Yenisel and directly connected with the Trans Siberian railroad. Among other privi- leges, the corporation will be exempt from internal taxes for ten years. The engineers of the corporation have al- ready carefully examined the mines. and have made the most favorable re- ports with reference to them. and also as to the timber in the locality.

best subserved by Legislative restric- tions upon the Mormons, and it has been the policy. of the government and the communities wherever tha follow CTS of Mormonism have gained foot hold in this country. to restrain by legislative enactment the extension of Mormon power and influence.
 Tn his report for 1893, Governor Hughes makes a statement regarding the strength of various church organ izations in the territory at that time from which we find that the Mormons had more churches in the territory than any other demnomination. He also informs us that in the last cleo tion, the Mormons cast a vote of 500 out of a total vote of 7.73S cast on the question of the adoption of a constitu- tion."
 To people who persist in their preju- dice against the Mormons 1t Is not worth while. of course, to explain that the Mormons of Arizona today are law abiding. industrious citizens, and that there are no means by which or dinarily they can be distinguished from other citizens-that in politics they are about equally divided, there being quite as many republican Nor mons as democratic Mormons-but wholly aside from these facts, why was Senator Bard moved, to overlook the rich field that was ready for him in still earlier statistics? Why did he come down to a period so late as ten years ago for his figures? Had he gone back far enough. he could have shown that there was a time when practically the entire agricultural population of Arizona was Mormon. And for many senators that would have been an ex- cellent argument, for in the ranks of Arizona's enemies there is a decided preference for ancient history and moth-eaten statistics of a former age.
 As everybody knows. much less than half the people in any state or terri tory are church members, and Cover nor Brodie shows in his report of last year that in the total of church mem bers in this territory the Mormons comprise but a small fraction.
 Had Senator Bard gone into ancient history little farther he could have shown that Arizona's population is In- dian-and who. pray, would admit an Indian community ta statehood? Really. the California senator failed sadly to take full advantage of his op- portunity.
