Reports come from Northern Ari zona that one mining company which has been employing 150 men in deye'- oping it's property in the Big Bug dis trict has closed because Of iJs ina bility to continue if the men are to york only eight hours and receive the same pay which they have hereto fore received for ten hours work. The mine operators of Yavapai coUn ty have held a meeting and agreed upon a scale of wares which they will pay after June l. the date when the new eight hour law goes into e:- feet.

HANNA BEATEN.

Mark Hanna has been turned down in Ohio After announcing publicly that the Ohio republican state con yention should refrain from endors- ing President Roosevelt as the choice of the Ohio republicans as the candi- date for 1904, he was forced to re- cant his opinion, or rather to surren- der to Joseph B. Foraker. who pro posed the endorsement The latest from Hanna shows him7to be a meek and lowly follower Here it is:
 T am in receipt of 3 telegram from President Roosevelt which indicates to me his desire to have the endorse ment of the Ohio State Republican convention of his administration and candidacy. In view of this I shall not oppose such action by the convention, and I have telegraphed the president to that effect"
 The language of Senator Hanna Is diplomatic but the plain facts can not be concealed. He has been beaten. He has surrendered. Foraker re. sumes his old place as the leader of the Ohio republicans The McKin- ley Hanna machine has been smashed. The element of the re- publican party that went to the top with Nc Kinley will be retired and a new breed Of bosses will spring up throughout the country.

Senator Quay is still holding tight to the statehood proposition and in the state republican convention of Pennsylvania secured the passage of a resolution endorsing his efforts for the admission of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. Evidently MT. Quay intends to renew his light for the territories during the next con gress. It is hardly probable that the distinguished Pennsylvanian would show any disposition for renewal O; the statehood battle unless he con sidered the chances very good for success.

VAR ON CATTLE THIEVES.

It would seem that the new Arizo- "a law, passed by the last legislature 10 prevent cattle stealing in Arizona is proving to be a most satisfactory
 measure to everybody in the territo- " except the cattle rustlers. who have long had an easy time Of it or the ranges Of Arizona. Several i'm portant cases have already been tried under the new law and the re- suits were victories for the territori- al live stock board. which under the leadership of Chairman Sturges is be- ing vigorously put in operation. The new law gives to cattle inspector5 the right 10 seize any suspicious cattle on any range ana advertise them for sale; if 9 man claims them he must prove his title. In one case, and ths first one tried under the new law In spector Speed, of Wilcox, seized twenty 10 thirty calves or the Sulphur Springs Valley ranges that were motherless. The man who claimed them failed to give any sat isfaCtory explanation of how be ac- guired them. The calves were sold and the money goes to the sanitary board
 No form Of rascality has prospereG i in Arizona like that Of cattle steal ing; it has been carried on boldly for many years and in the past the laws or the officials who attempted to eE- | force them have been almost tptaliy 1 inpotent In many instances large ! cattle owners have been compelled ! to sell out and quit the business be 1 cause of their inability to protect , themselves from the cattle rustlers. i It is an old custom of cattle rustlers {! to steal calves away from mothers | and drive them to other sections Of | the range In many instances calves ! have been found with their tongues l split as a means of Teaping them 1 when they could be moved away; l Sometimes the calves would be i found tied up or hobbied to lose | them from mothers. If the new law succeeds in putting an end to cattle | stealing the legislature responsible | for it will be forever blessed by the cattlemen in every section. Men have been known to steal hundreds of cattle within few years and final y sell them back to their real own CTS, who would gladly purchase their own property in the hope that the thief would abandon the locality
 Too much credit can not be given 10 the live stock sanitary board for it's energy in a vigorous enforcement of the law for the protector Of QUE. cattle industry

The disclosures of rascaIity in the postofice department al Washington, continues to be more starting. With the results now at hand as a conse- quence of the investigation of the postoffice department it would be the proper thing to start an investigation iu all the government departments, as it is hardly possible that all the thieves iu the capital city have been punched in the p0stofide department.

POPULARITY BY CARDS.

FxDert students of literature hardy
need mechanical aids in forming judg-
ment as to the relative popularity OF
authors. but the inexpert Bostonian may
welcome hint for an answer to some
such question as this
who is the most popular author?'
The answer is Dumas; at least, here
in Boston. ssWhy?'' Because his cards
in the public library catalogue are the
dirtiest.
Open one of the drawers and the
bright new white edges betray the adj
vent of the new book, as yet untried
in the popularity test As the years go
on. the card acquires a successfully
grayer tint, depending on how often it is
consulted.
Most of the drawers are filled with these
grayish tinteE cards that are just
books" neither popular nor unpopular,
but read now and then.
But suppose a book proves to be pop
ular and many consult it, pressing fingers
firmly against the corners of the cata-
logue card to get better look at the
number and title Each inquirer leaves
an infinitesimal film of grease on the
card. and thousands of these films make
dirt. the corners of the card getting
browner and brCwner.
Suppose an author becomes popular; one
who writes many books, the cards Of
which take up several inches in the
drawer All the cards become dirty, and
in some of the drawers this bunch of
cards is as definitely marked on the ex-
panse of gray and white as if the library
people had taken pains to have these
authors titles on red cards or of some
other prominent color.
Open the drawer in which Dumas"
is to be found. and there is no more
trouble in finding where Dumas is in
the row than there is in finding a black
berry in a pan of milk.
About four inches of the cards are fair
" black at least on the edges. The Ii
brary people replace them frequently, for
there is a degree of filth wholly inadmis-
sable in a card catalogue. and it is not
at all light task 10 keep the cards
fairly clean; but replace an old. dirty
Dumas" card with a brand new one.
and few weeks kill put it in the pop
ular'' class-viz., the dirty ones.
Those who think the old fellows are
forgotten nowadays should look up this
matter before forming an opinion. Dick
ems for example, whom some people be-
lieve TO be a back number" is about
as dirty a streak as is to be found in
the catalogue.
Thackeray and Scott are dirty, but not
quite so bad as Dickens, and far less so
than Dumas, but they yet invite specu-
la+iOps on the bacterial terTOrs of dirty
library cards.
Napoleon" has the most dirty cards.
but they average a little cleaner than
Thackeray and Scott. Victor Hugo has
dirty bunch. So has George Eliot. Bull

FACTORS IN BUILDING
What VIII Enter Into Plans oil
Panama Canal.
IF IT is CONSTRUCTED
Labor, Great Question That
Must Be Solved.

First and foremost among the construc-
! ton difficulties Mr. Archibald Coiquhoun
places the labor question. The canal is TO
be open for traffic within fourteen years
from the exchange of ratificsUHns of the
treaty. This fact alone will give some idea
of the magnitude of the task to which our
American cousins have put their hand.
Doubtless the use of labor-saving
machinery will materially reduce the
number of laborers required, as compared
with the number il would have been nee
essary to employ even ten years ago; but.
none the less Iaborers will have to be
employed in very large numbers and.
as Mr. Colquhoun points out. the field of
supply is extremely restricted The white
races may be ruled out at once. Neither
Chinese nor Hindoo coolies can fill the
gap. for the climate is almost as deadly
for them as for white men. Further. as
the negro from the southern states is
declared 10 be unsuitable, there remains
as almost the sole source of supply. the
labor market of the West Indies If Mr.
Solquhouns analysis of the situation Is
correct. we may expect, for many years
TO come, a very heavy drain on the ISL
lands of the caribbean Sea, with results
which must necessarily be extremely SER
ious to every one interested in the pros
perity of the Weset Indies.
The other question to which Mr. Colqu
houn directs attention is the inevitable
effect upon which the construction of the
canal will have on the relationship of the
United States with the Spanish-American
republics. In Europe very little is known
of the Central American states. Bond
holders think of them with bitterness:
THE Man in the Street" has a gen.
eraI idea that chronic revolution is the
normal condition of them. and that i'm
some way or another the Monroe Doctrine
is responsible for allowing them not only
TO kill each other when they are so in
clined. but to send with impunity derisive
and insulting messages to European Pow
ers. The picture, if somewhat vague as
to details, is not unrecognizable as an i'm
pressionist sketch. Some of the details,
as regards Columbia. are filed in by Mr.
Colquhoun. and it is not difficult to share
his conviction that when the alert, agrees
sive and progressive American from the
north come into close contact with these
quarrelsome little bankrupt Central Amer
lean republics il will not be long before
there are changes in their relative posi-
tions.
Under the treaty which the Colombian
congress is now considering, the canal
zone is neutralized. and the neutrality
and sovereignty of Colombia over the
neutral zone are guaranteed by the
T-Ditad States government Thero
are abundant paper provisions for safe
guarding Colombia and her neighbors
against the aggressive action of her DOW
erful lessee; but a recollection of certain
