The Cattlemen's Convention.

Much interest is being taken in
the forthcoming Cattlemen's Con-
vention, which will be held in
Phoenix commencing January 4th
next.
Permanent organization will be
effected at this meeting, and a full
attendance of those engaged in the
cattle business is desired.
Among the work of the conven-
ton will be the adoption of suitable
bylaws to govern the association,
placing the association on per-
manent basis, and the consideration
of all other business that may come
before it, and particularly all rela-
tive to the protection, furtherance
and fostering of the cattle industry.
The hearty cooperation of all
cattlemen is asked.
The sentiment of the preliminary
meeting held at Tucson last month,
was unanimous that with an asso-
citation much more could be ac-
complished in having the rights of
those engaged in the cattle busi-
ness respected, and the betterment
of conditions that now or may con-
front the cattlemen than has here
tofore been done Individually

TEACHERS SALARIES
Why Arizona Ought to be Overrun by
Pedagogues.


The territorial board of school
examiners yesterday issued Ger
tifcate to Lizzie M. Seahorn of Co.
chise county on a grammar grade
diploma from the state of Califor-
mia. Miss Seahorn has lately come
from California at the solicitation
of board of trustees of Cochise
county, where there are not enough
teachers to go round. This is
matter which ought to be brought
to the notice of the teachers of the
east, for there is perhaps no other
place in the United States where
higher wages are paid teachers.
Notwithstanding this fact, the ter
ritorial superintendent is informed
that there are five districts in the
county which have SO far secured
no teachers.
There are forty-nine teachers, or
there ought to be at least that many
in the county. There were that
many last year according to the re-
port of the superintendent, and
there are probably more now.
Wages range from $65 to $125
month. Of the forty-nine teachers
two last year received $50, two $65,
thirteen $40, twenty-one SIS, five
$85, one $50, one 500 and one
$125.
These would seem like United
States Steel corporation salaries to
the teachers of the middle and New
England states. But magnificent
as the salaries are, Cochise is not
far ahead of the other counties.
Yavapai remunerates the teachers
we'll, as does Coconino, Pinal, Mar
icopa and Santa Cruz pay good
wages, but hardly the average
throughout the territory. Pima
leads this county. The lowest on
the list are Graham and Apache,
where the salaries range from $40
to $SO.-Republican, Nov. 21.

w. J. Black. general passenger
agent for the Santa Fe recently re-
ceived the following letter which
was addressed by a western editor
to company of ticket scalpers in

they cooperate in scheme to beat

Ticket Co., 100 S. Clark ST., Chica-
go, Ill.-Sirs: I have your letter
September 9th. You are evidently
laboring under misapprehension.
Time Current Issue is a journal
of opinion and legitimate publ
cation. It. does not fake it's busi-
ness nor does it invite communion
with fakirs. l do not understand
why you should have invited The
Time Current Issue to enter into
partnership with you in an effort
to rob the railroad companies. For
if The Current issue has ever miss
ed an opportunity to hold your
business up to the contempt of the
honest public, it sincerely regrets
having done so. l note with some
regret your statement that your
experience with editorial mileage
and trip tickets has been very
successful one.' If this statement
be true l am forced to the conclu-
sion that there are as big scoun-
drels in the newspaper business AS
in yours. In the hope that the
above statements are sufficiently
explicit to penetrate your under
standing, I am, very truly yours"

Flagstaff "Gems" and "Sun" Beams

Mrs. Prime has sold her residence

ty have already gone into training
for the race.
Babbitt Bros, VIM. Donaldson

There has not been any blow
made about it, but the value of i'm

Zona.
Last week the town was overrun
with professional tramps. This
week the officers seem to have pos
session, and the festive hobo has
moved in the direction of his pre-
tended destination.
Miss Florence N. Dukes left Fri

would have brought one year ago.
John T. Jones, formerly general
manager of the Aztec Cattle Com
psny, who has been living in Kan

location. Arizona looks good to
him.
A neat iron fence is being placed
in position around the court house
grounds this week, and together
with the other improvements, gra-
ding, cement walks, etc., will make
a decided change for the better in

nue., owned by J. A. Vail, and oc-

being $2,540. The property has a
frontage of fifty feet.

native born, while 22,395 are of
foreign birth; and in all probability
of the foreign born so per cent are

"The population should be esti-

A HITCH SOMEWHERE.

There seems to be hitch in money matters con- nected with the office of the clerk of the district court That official contends that he must pay all bills owed by his office through checks issued the Washington National bank of Seattle-a United States govern ment depostary. Those cheeks cannot be cashed in Nome, it is alleged, except at discount of eight per cent This condition of affairs. it is said, brought about by recommendation of the special examiners of the department of justice who here last mer and fall and who examined in an official capac- ty the various offices, we'll the accounts of off, cers, under their jurisdiction
 We are at a loss to understand why such regu- laon should be promulgated by the special exami- ners, although perhaps they able to give valid reason for their action to the department Special examiners of the departmtnt of justice, any other governmental department are supposed to know their business. Htherto we understand, the clerk of the court has carried large sum of money in local banks at his own risk for tie payment of accounts against his office The United States marshal also carries funds. at his personal risk, which deposited in local banks Both officials under heavy bonds to the United States
 That hardship is worked by the regulation estab-
 shed by the special examiners, if the status of the case is alleged is evident, and it should not have
 to be borne by the creditors of the office of the clerk of the court, including the employees of the office. There is another phase of the which comes home to us. There is sum of money in the hands of the clerk of the court belonging to the city,
 ing to it from government licenses, aggregatng, say $30OO0 The clerk maintains that the only way in which he can pay this, is by check on the United States depostary in Seattle, which means that the city, in order to the amount due it from the government, must either wait until next spring for the money, subject the check draft to discount of eight per cent If the present city conncil gets the check the discount will undoubtedly follow although the clerk of the has the actual coin in his pos session. It is anomalous state of affairs viewed from any light, but people who have lived any length of time in Alaska will not wonder at it. Cover mental neglect and official laundering, both locally and at Washington, deineate new conditions.

DISCUSSING CASES SUB JUDGE,

THE NUGGET has not, in the past, followed the habit of discussing legal while they still in course of adjudication. It has maintained the right to discuss processes and judgment of courts after judgment has been entered, and they were no longer issue, and this it will continue to do when. ever in its judgment the interests of justice or public policy demand it. The proprietor of THE NUGGET s party to libel suit which has been set for trial at the present term of court It has referred to this case except matter of news; and then only briefly contemporary, however, actuated only by the rankest kind of malice, has fit to pass judg. ment upon the case in order, believe, with the evident intent to create prejudice We believe that it's attempts to thus prejudice the defendant will be as futile as its malevoence is noticeable.
 The proprietor of THE NUGGET, the defendant in the mentioned is willing that the case should be tried s merits and for that and other ethical reasons, no discussion of it's merits has ever found place in this paper It was also felt that none was necessary, although the envy and business jealousy of local contemporaries to have been so strong within them that they unable in their blind rage to have any regard for common honesty, truth or decency

A GOVERNMENT DEPOSITORY.

Councilman Hill occasionally stumbles on a chunk of truth. The other night while the city council was in session, he remarked that there was apparent need of a bank which should also be government depositary in Nome. In this way a large sum of government money could always be kept on hand in Nome to pay government obliga- tions, and which could be disbursed from time to time during the closed season, and thus keep money in circulation, which, under the pres ent system, must be tied up for the greater portion of the year, or the holders of bills against the govern ment must subject them to heavy discount in order to realize upon them. Both the excellent banks now doing business in Nome, are private corporations, and as such, cannot be designated as government depositaries, under the law. That is a privilege (and, we believe, an unwise and unjust one, especially in a country like this) which be- longs solely to national banks. There is only one solution of the difficulty, so far as we are able to see. Tho establishment of a nation al bank would mean that it would upon the proper representation be- ing made. be designated as a gov- ernment depositary for national funds.
 It is quite likely, we are inform. ed, that a national bank will be established in Nome upon the open ing of navigation next year, and if this be the case there need not thereafter be heard such complaints as are now being made.

THE FATE OF A REFORMER.

In China they behead reform editors for telling the truth about conditions in that country Recently Shen Chen, one of the prominent of the reform editors, was executed by order of the empress. He left valedctory message in verse to the world which is said to have been model of dgnifed patr- otism and pathos. Shen Chen for years had been leader in the reform movement in China. As such corruption of officials the spoliation of the people that the governing class night be enriched by tithes and taxes wrung from the masses. Especially did he illuminate against corrupt officials who spurned jus tice and who reveled in wrong doing, and who held the people in thraldom. For years driven from town to town, ban.hed at times, but finding refuge in Japan or Korea, or in British China or the United States, he managed to keep uD his crusade for the liberty and freedom of his fellow countrymen. His work told pierced the thick hides of Chinese off, caldom; it attracted especially the attention of his fellow countrymen in other parts of the world, who had learned, in way,to value the freedom accorded subjects and citizens of other nations. His work even told within the sacred city of Pekng. It dis turbed the powerful empress, for the teachings of Shen Chien were such animated the patriots of revolutionary days.
 But an evil day came for Shen Chien. From Hong Kong, where he safe, he made visit to Peking in order to further his propaganda Although he travelled ncog imperial government spies discov- cred his presence in the Chinese capital and his sum. mary execution followed. But his work will live
