Important Business for a Territorial
 Official.

The business of fieecing the people of Arizona by their officials is becoming a recognized calling. It seems to pay better than anything else in which the participants can engage. The numer- ous defalcations and shortages which have come to light in various counties lately call for energetic action if the people do not propose to approve this new but costly industry.
 In Maricopa county the recorder was found short in his accounts to the ex- tent of some two thousand dollars, and had to make it up. In Yavapai county the treasurer is under indict- rnent for stealing about fifteen thous- and dollars. In Apache county the treasurer, after reelection, was found to be short a large sum. It seems that he made good" however, and will not be prosecuted. In Gila county impor- tant shortages have been disclosed by an expert accountant. In Santa Cruz county the papers are clamcring for an exporting of the books, alleging that shortages will be uncovered. And so it goes How far the rottenness goes, how much crookedness and incompe- tence are costing the taxpayers in sev- eral counties, cannot be known without a systematic examination of the books of the officers.
 An effective remedy for this state of affairs suggests itself. and it should be put into effect by the incoming legis- lo% ha official with power to audit the ac- counts of all county officers. and it should be made his duty to check up the accounts of every county official at least twice a year.
 Possibly this end could be arrived at by giving enlarged powers to the ter ritorial auditor, thus relieving the peo- pie of the expense of maintaining an- other territorial office. But even if it be found necessary to create an addi- tional office, it will be money we'll ex- pended. Frequent and rigid eXamina- tions of the accounts of all county of- ficials would, according to the state of affairs already shown up, save thous- ands of dollars to the taxpayers. For. if officials know that their accounts are to be scrutinfzed by a competent audi tor at dates known only to the territo- rial official, the opportunities for ere ating shortages will be greatly cur tailed. The territorial auditor is now ex-officio examiner of the territorial banks. If found practicable, there would be nothing inconsistent in en- larging his duties to include examina- tions of county offices. But if it is found that the auditor has not the re- quired time at his disposal, it would be entirely practicable to make it the duty of some other official to examine banks as well as county offices. It is a reform which comments itself to ev- cry thinking person, and it is mani festly the duty of the legislature to give the subject its best attention.

"A GRATUIToUs INSULT"

Governor Vardaman has quite a reputation as an insulter. In fact, this | is one of the things in which he great | ly excels. In our news columns today l is printed the telegraphic correspond ence between President Francis of the worlds fair and Governor Varda-
 man in regard to the visit of President Roosevelt to the Mississippi exhibit and what he said about it. Just why Vardaman felt called on to deal out an insult in his reply is more than the News can see. This paper has never had any love for the president. and has none now, but courtesy de-
 mands courtesy. This is the first law of refinement. Governor Vardaman in his reply has grossly nisrepresented
 the people of the state. They do not
 believe in meeting courtesy with in- suits. Because President Roosevelt
 did say that he was pleased with the
 Mississippi exhibit, and President Francis in a courteous manner in
 formed the governor Of the presidents expression, is this any reason why Var
 daman should insult Francis and hu- initiate the people of the state iu the manner in which he did? If the News mistakes not there will be a general condemnation of Vardaman in this
 
 fine opportunity to rise above his petty spite and prejudices. He was elected by reason of Roosevelt's ac- tion in Indianola, for who is it that believes in normal times Vardaman could have been governor? Vardaman in turn has done more to elect Roose- welt than any one man. The people of Mississippi expect more of their gov ernor than a display of small, petty hatred. They expect him 10 be a broad minded man, who in every relation of life will meet courtesy with courtesy. The telegram clearly shows that the small ll-mindedness of the governor of in the least surprised Poor Missis- sippi, it is judged by men like Varda- man, who seem to be unacQuainted with the common courtesies of life. If Roosevelt himself had sent the tele- gram there might possibly have been some excuse for his insulting reply. but he had no cause to insult Presi- dent Francis. The News had hoped that the governors office would so inn press Vardan;an that he would at least do nothing that could be turned against the people of the south by carping critics. The judgment of those who so vigorously opposed Vardaman in the campaign has been more than vindicated, and for one the News has no apologies to make for it's course in that fight. t."-Jackson Evening News.

According to the Los Angeles papers wealthy ass has constructed a dwell ing for himself at Pasadena which without doubt, will give him all the advertising and notoriety for which he is aching. Visitors to the mansion will encounter "a doorknob which cost S1e0." and will find inside that the locks, hinges, drawer handles. and so forth, are 'of solid gold" The burg lar who does business with tha. house will not have bloodthirsty populace chasing him afterwards.

AN OBJECTION FROM PERU.
Assignment of Consul Winans tc
 iquique Not Satisfactory

Washington, D. C., Dec. 5.-Objec- ton has been made in Chile against the permission granted by the state department to Charles s. Winans, United States consul at Iquique, to take charge temporarily of the Per uvian consulate at that port. The state department has not been advised of this objection. but is aware that it exists, and if objection is formally made by Chile it is probable that the permission would be cancelled. The old enmity between Chile and Peru is suspected to be at the bottom of the affair, as MT. Winans is not personally objectionable to Chile.

States. MT. Francis. thoughtful man that he is, and careful to the small est details of his official position, sup posed no doubt, that he was doing the people of the state of Mississippi a kindness in advising them through their cheif executive of the compli- ments paid their state building and their exhibit at the great St. Louis fair by the chief executive of the na- tion. but if he had imagined the pos sibility of such a caustic reply as he got in acknowledgment of his 'cour- teous message he would certainly have declined to perform that courtesy.
 Governor Vardaman has made the mistake of mixing politics, sectional feeling and personal dislikes with state, national and business affairs, when he makes a sarcastic reply that will be posted from Maine to Califor- mia, from New Orleans to Kalamazoo, to the injury and discredit of the great state of Mississippi Clarion Ledger.

The Good rlarket for Copper.

The buoyancy in the copper mar ket Is one of the things with which Arizona is highly satisfied, just now. If. as seems probable, the price of the red metal remains high during the coming year. the development of cop per prospects in this territory will take on a new boom. And as for the mines already in operation, the increase will means several millions additional divi- dends.

The marketing season begins Sep
TENDER 1 and lasts until just before
Christmas. Formerly the planter
gathered his oysters when they were
ready for market by means of sail
ing vessels, but now he usually hires
one of the numerous small steamers
engaged in the business, and In one
third of the time formerly consumed
the oysters are all ready for ship
ment.
They are taken from the beds with
dredges or tongs, and transferred to
fresh water, where they are allowed
to drink" This cleans the oyster,
removes the brackish taste and it
causes it to swell, making much
nicer appearance than when taken
from salt water.
Immediately upon being taken out
of the fresh water the oysters are
shipped to this city by rail, by steam
er or by sailing vessels, whichever
will get them here quickest, and are
then taken to the wholesale house,
where the retailers get them for their
customers.
There are two wholesale oyster
districts in New York. One is along
side the Fulton street fish market at
Beekman street and East river, and
the other at West Washington mar
ket basin at West Eleventh street
and North river. At both places are
large barges moored to the docks,
with houses built on them. In these
houses is carried on the work pre-
paratory to shipping.
Upon arrival the oysters are d.
vided into three sizes, known respec-
lively as box" "culls" and cullen
tines" The first bring about $3.50
thousand, the second about $3.50
and the last about so cents bushel.
These are the prices paid to the
planters, and although they vary not
little during the season, the aver.

New York, Baltimore and Wash
ington are the greatest centers of
oyster eaters. Here the bon vivant
resides by thousands and from Sep
TENDER l to March 81 revels in his
favorite delicacy. 1t is estimated
that 100000 bushels are consumed
annually in Washington, while in
this city a rough estimate places the
consumption at 100000 oysters.
All indications point to a success
full season. The New York fleet gets
it's waters from New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut and the greater
part of the catch is sold in this city.
Hundreds of extra men have been
put to work in anticipation of the
sudden activity in business. The
methods followed in raising oysters
for the market are interesting and
to the uninitiated little known.
Until the natural oyster beds gave
out, the oystermen had no trouble,
but when they became extinct it was
necessary to resort to artifice to help
nature along. The law permits the
oystermen to lease certain plots of
ground under water suitable for the
cultivation of oysters, providing no
natural beds are on the ground at
the time.
Each planter stakes off his little
patch of ground into rectangular lots
of different size. governed by the ne
cessities of his business. Usually
each divides his ground into four or
five lots, as the oysters have to be
shifted from time to time in order
to expedite their growth. Some Of
the planters have hundreds of acres
under cultivation.
The first step in preparing a bed
for the reception of the young is to
scatter hundreds of oyster shells over
the bottom. This is done to give the
young oyster something to attach it.
