 Observe that there is nothing sail here about the people. Presumably, if they are to be let in to Dives ban quet at all, they must be content with the second table or the leavings. Sta tioned outside on the steps as expos itor the secretary addresses a plea to the masses. begging them to restrain their impatience lest they disturb the sumptuons feast of their masters.
 If the secretary's generous defni- ton means anything it means de- fense of the trusts There has been a vague suspicion for some time that the republican argument pointed this way. It is rather surprising. howev' CT, that the proposition should be put so bluntly. Those who have enter tained doubts of the exact purport of republican prosperity will be set at rest by the secretary's frank explana' tion: 'It is the prosperity of pro duetiye enterprises created by the Dingley law."-Republic.

EluclpATINe HE TERM.

At one time Prosperity" had a broad meaning, signifying the prosper GUS conditions of the people as a whole. Monotonous political repeti- ton robbed the term of its sense. It was hammered and sounded till it be gan to ring as if cracked.
 Now the attempt seems to be re shape 1t fer use in the next campaign.
 The old definition doesn't exactly fit the modern conditions of trust manu- factures, throttled competition and Dingley bill prices. The welfare of former times has been, as it were, withdrawn from the people as a whole. a new division has been made and the privileged combinations ap- pear to have the lions share
 Secretary Root has obligingly de vised a new definition to suit the al tered terms The prosperity we have now today is the prosperity of productive enterprises, which has ad-

slsssE's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The board of school trustees of Bis bee have found that the rapid growth of the schools of this city demands that i've new teachers be added to the present number. and they have been employed. Not only has it been found necessary to materially increase the number of teachers, but additional room had also 10 be provided. An addition is to be built to both the city ward schools, and contracts for this work have already been awarded, and the work begun.
 No city in Arizona can make a bet. ter showing than Bisbee, so far as its public schools are concerned. The roll of attendance here is unusually large. showing percentage which is highly gratifying, and demonstrating the high class citizenship now living here. Out of a total enumeration of children, within the school age, of a little more than HOO. over 1oee have been enrolled in the schools. This is a remarkable showing. and one that reflects credit on those who have had charge of the school work and management in this city.
 Under a law passed by the last legis- iature. trustees in any school district having a population of 1000 are au thorized and empowered to employ teaachers of music and drawing, if they deem it for the best interest of the schools of such district. The trustees have decided that music teaching will be provided for here after in the public schools of Bisbee, and this work, for the present, will be carried on by the assistant principal.
 The desirability of any community as a place to be selected as home depends largely on the eficiency of the schools; good schools and churches will always draw to them the better class of citizens; these at fractions will draw into our mining enterprises men with families who will become SupSldntidl CltlNeAs anu home builders, to reflect more credit on Bisbee both now and in the future. A man who works in the mine and rests at home with his family is mu eh to be preferred in any community 10 the one that has no further interest in the community than his individual welfare; the man with family will become interested in every move that promises to advance the interests ol the town in which he lives; he VII support every effort for the advance of social conditions This is the class of citizens that Bisbee needs most. and nothing will do more to attract them than the upbuilding of our schools
