4 Record Year.

It is noted by Bradstreets that in some directions the year now drawing to a close has furnished government statistics with record breaking totals. The foreign commerce of the year was the largest in the history of the coun- try, the aggregate amounting to S2,- f45,S60,916. as against $1,7l4O66116 m 1898. S1,5f7,02O,316 in 1883 and $1,164,- 616,132 in 1873. The commerce with the non-contiguous territory of the country showed gratifying increase during the year. and if the gold ore of domestic production received from Alaska be taken into account, the to- tai would foot up over $1OO,0OO, 900. In immigration also a record was made, the total being the largest in the country's history. In number of pieces the total coinage was greater than in any previous year, and the specie holdings of the banks reached on February the maximum in the history of the system, viz, $417,572,- 146.37. A new record was also made in the receipt of all kinds of money for redemption and exchange. the amount paid for being $S64,5O3,561, an increase of $141,22S, 315 over the pre- ceding year.

SPECIAL SESSION OVER A BUG.

A little bug. almost too small for individual notice. is taking up the time of several great states. and has even caused the Louisiana legislature to be called into special session. This little boil weevH seems d very small matte~ to the people of the country at large. but to cotton growers it's coming is fraught with prodigious evil.
 For years 1t has heen the hoast of Texas that she corld raise cotton enough to supply the world. and she did appear to be satisfied with raising about a tbirS of all the American staple. But this little weevil crawied across the border from Mexico and has swept the cotton fields like a pesti- lence. Each year the domain of the weevil is spreading, and it's kind is multiplying by billions. No effective means has yet been foInd to check the spread of the pest and the entire cotton helt IS alarmed.
 The Louisiana special commission has recommcded to the legislature that a non-cotton growing belt be created

nayor Bennett is at the Helm.

Some Of the democratic politicians in the Citizens committee which had charge Of the late campaign for muni- Cipal waterworks. now seem to think that they were elected by the people to take charge of the entire water problem. to the exclusion of Mayor Bennett and the city council. Up to the hour Of going to press. however, we have received no news to the effect that the mayor had abdieated in favor of the aforesaid politicians.
 The city of Phoenix has exceptional reason to congratulate itself just now. that it has an honest man for mayor d man whose integrity cannot be shaken.
 IL is a notorious fact that certain politicians have looked forward to the present situation for months with an eyer-increasing appetite for graft; and unless the water question is handled with great care by the city administra- ton the taxpayers will pay dearly toward the lining Of some capacious pockets.
 Neither these schemers nor their evening organ can fool the public as 10 what they are after.

The Passage of the Tonto Road Bill.

While it was discouraging. doubt less. for Delegate Wilson, the officials of the geological survey, and PresI- dent Fowler oc the Water Users asso- citation. Co see the house of represen- tatives refuse to consider the Tonto Basin road bin on Thursday. it was not to be expected that they would relax any of their efforts to pass the meas ure. That it would pass if taken up for consideration. there had been little doubt. The great problem was to se- cure consideration.
 The passage Of the bill yesterday was distinct triumph for Delegate Wilson.
 The average reader of the news papers. no matter how intelligent and generally well posted he may be, has some difficulty in understanding why it is so difficult to pass a measure such as this road bill. and it is worth while Co explain the salient facts.
 The business offered to the house of representatives is of such enormo Us volume that there is no effort to con- slider bills in tLeir order on the calen- dar, 1s is the practice Of the Ari- zona legislature. for instance.

 Suppose. for example. member is anxious Co secure consideration of a measure os a class to which this road bin belongs. The member goes to the speaker personally, and says: MT. Speaker, this bill is a measure in which my constituents are deeply in- terested: the committee has reported fuvorably, and I wish to be recogniz- ed on such and such a day to ask for it's consideration" The speaker, hav- iug Go listen to similar requests daily from 60 large proportion of the house membership is not readily impressed by the alleged importance of the bill He knows that or all the thousands of bills before the house some member stands ready to swear to the para mount importance of each More over. much of the time for days and weeks Co come is already covered by the programme as to government measures and party bills of national importance.

FOREST RESERVATIONS.

Senator Gallinger's bill for the pur- chase of a forest reserve in the White Mountains is welcomed as an evidence of increasing interest in the subject, though congress may ask why New Hampshire does not preserve it's own famous forest. as New York is doing with the Adirondacks. The bill calls for an appropriation of $5,000,0O0 and provides for the purchase of 100000 acres.
 The senate committee or forest res .ervations, which will pass on Senator Gallinger's bill. has also under con sideration the proposed Appalachian forest reserve in Virginia, Tennessee land North Carolina. which con- templates the acquisition of 2000 000 acres. Senator Depew has spoken of this as a "beneficent enterprise which will at the same time be self-sustain-
 ing and a source of everlasting reve- nue to the government"
 The foes of the forest are many fire. the lumbermen. the pulp men, even the Christmas-tree industry, which denudes the young growths of spruce at the demand of Yuletide sentiment. Prof Fernow told the As sociation for the Advancement of Science that at the present rate of con sumption the nations timber supply would be exhausted within thirty years.
