The Price of Progress.

Railroad wrecks are part of the terrible price of progress. The Grand Trunk crash, the Park avenue horror and the shocking eatastropheS in New Jersey and Arizona would have been impossible but for the constant effort to eliminate time and space, 80 far as possible, in passenger and freight transportation.

 C. F. Randall adjuster of the right of-way for the Phoenix & Eastern rail- road, who was in Tombstone looking up titles in the recorders office to ob- tain the ;ightOf Away through the land on the lower San Pedro, where the road will toe built, was interviewed by the Tombstone Prospector
 Mir. Randall said We have com pleted laying rails as far as the bridge across the Salt river, near Tempe aud are now building a temporary wooden bridge across that stream al q at the same time are erecting the piers for the steel bridge which has been order cd from the American Bridge X Steel company, but is unexpected to arrive or few months A large force IS now at work grading between Tempe and | Mesa and beyond the latter place to- ward Florence. The company will not have much heavy grading to do until the Gila is reached and then down on the San Pedro. At point between Riverside and Dudleyville the grade will have to be blasted out of the solid rock liuing the river bed !"
 Mir Randall has completed the secur- ing of titles for over one hundred miles on the Phoenix end and has now be- gun the work on this end. As soon as he has secured the right-of-way out of Benson, a grading force will at once be put to work. Mr. Randall states that thus far he has had but very lit tie trouble in securing a right-of-way for his road, but once in a while runs across some one who holds his piece of land at an enormous figure.
 The road, when completed, will be nearly three hundred miles in length, and will open up one of the richest agricultural and mineral sections in southern Arizona. The road will not be in operation probably before some time next year, although the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

tinues unabated it is: slear&that ntotwith--
standing the: efforts Of congress to reduce
the surplus by cutting off taxes and fby-ex-
traordinaEly large appropriations the. end
OF this fiscal year will show: a large surplus

These facts have direct bearing upon

tariff reduction.
At the, same time business. men. and
bankers are anxious about the volume of
money In circulation. They are dsap-
pointed because the Aldrich bill failed and
must depend upon Secretary Shaw for
measures to put back into the channels
of trade through deposits in national
banks and by other means the money
which the government takes from. trade in
the form of customs and internal revenue
taxes. =. >-

Of those channels; that it is not a proper
function Of government! to collect more
money from the people than it needs, and
that the best way to insure to the com
