The Bond Election Today.

finder the provisions of special act of congress, passed a few weeks ago. the voters of Phoenix that have been specially registered for this occasion may vote today on the proposition to issue the twenty-year, five per cent bonds of the city in the sum of $6I,5Oo to aid in the construction of the pro- posed wagon and freighting road rom Mesa to the reservoir now under con struction by the government on the Salt river. The proposed bond issue bv this city is the sum apportoned to Phoenix in order to make up the total of s75.OOO estimated by the government engineers to be necessary. The town of Mesa has already voted unanimous lv to issue thesbonds of that munich pality in the sum of $3,5O0 for the same purpose, and Tempe votes on the SOth instant on the proposition to issue the bonds of that town in the sum CT S4'- coo for the read.
 The benefits to be derived from the road have been stated plainly and often, and were again clearly explain ed at the mass meeting Saturday night. and it is not necessary now to recapitulate them. Undoubtedly, the voters have decided how they will vote, and it is the general opinion that the bond proposition will carry by ma iority of three or four to one. The law requires a two-thirds majority. The only thing likely to defeat the bonds is such a general confidence Tn the success of the proposition as may cause large numbers of registered voters to neglect the privilege of vot- ing. It is not only a privilege to vote, but it is the duty, as well, of every man whose name is on the register. The question is one of great import ance to the town and to the valley, and it should not be necessary to hunt up and drag the voters to the polls as it frequently is in a bond election.
 There should be a large vote, and there should be an overwhelming ma jority for the bonds.
 The ballots have "Yes" and "No' printed upon them. To vote for the bonds, make a cross-mark in the square under the Yes" A cross-mark in the square under the No" will be a vote against the proposition.

The Statehood Bill as Adopted by
 the House Committee.

The Republican is indebted to the Hon. J. F. Wilson, delegate to congress from this territory, for an advance copy of the statehood bill as adopt ed by a majority of the house commit tee on territories, and reported to the house on the Sth inst. As the measure will undoubtedly pass the house sub stantially as reported, it will be of in- terest to note the general provisions. We shall take occasion to comment on the bill hereafter.
 Sections 1 to IS, inclusive, relate to the admission of Oklahoma and Indian territory. Section 19 to 37, inclusive relate to the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as the state of Arizona. Section 19 is in this rather curious language:
 That the inhabitants of all that part of the area of the United States now constituting the territories of Arizona and New Mexico, as at present de- scribed, may become the state of Ari- zona, as hereinafter provided"
 That is, the language sounds curious to us, although it may follow the ac- cepted form "The inhabitants. .
 may become a state" etc. After all. however, it is the people, and not the territory, that becomes a state.
 Section 20 provides that all qualified electors of the two territories may vote for delegates to the constitution al convention, the delegates also to be electors. New Mexico is to have 70 delegates and Arizona 40. The dele gates for each territory are to be ap- portioned by the governor, chief jus tice and secretary thereof, "as nearly as may be equitably among the several counties" in accordance with the pop ulation as shown by the census of 1900. The remainder of the section, which is very lengthy, covers the details of registration, election, and so forth, and serve the election to ratify the consti- tuition and for the selection of state officers.
 Section 21 provides that the constitu- tional convention shall be held at San ia Fe. The constitution must oe re- publican in form. and make no dis tinctiOn in civil or political rights on account of race or color. It S especi- ally provided that the constitution shall provide. by ordinance ii iircvocable without the consent of the United states and the people of said state

THE BUCKEYE FARMER.

There's farmer down by Buckeye Who is strictly up to date; He raises souds and clover And he has to irrigate. Of spuds last year he had six acres. Half-grown and promising a crop. Until the water in the summer Came to sudden stop. Then the farmer was much worried, And he scratched his head in vain, Cursed his country in the daytime, And at night he prayed for rain. Till one evening at his bedside As he slowly shed his duds. There came to him an idea
 Of how to save his, spuds. Next day before twas sulIrIse He was uo and in the field Tn a stTeuuo:s endeavor
 To make his sDudlets yield. In between each row he travelled. Carefully planting onion seed, And to the questions of his neighbors The Buckeye farmer gave no heed, Though some argued in that section Ways and means and how to stop The crazy man from planting onions Where potatoes wouldn't make Q
 crop. Tn but few short days all the onions Were showing green along the row. And the Buckeye farmer chuckled As he sharDened up his hoe; And when the night had settled on him He went forth into the patch, And, with the hoe to aid him, Each separate onion did he scratch. When the neighbors rose next morn-
 ing,
 Each and every one said "Whew" For the air vas onion-laden Equal to an Irish stew. Nearly all went to their neighbor To protest and make a kick Against the oGor of those onions, Which, they said, would make them
 sick. Then the wise old Buckeye farmer Gave his overalls another hitch. Took them out behind his feed lot And showed them water in his ditch. And explained to them his idea. While they listened in surprise, How the juice from all those onions Brought water to the spudlets' eyes. All the neighbors marveled greatly. Almost too amazed to speak, At the great big stream of water run
 Eing
 From the spuds' eyes or a leak. And the foxy Buckeye farmer, So the neighbors all confess, Saved his spuds and much alfalfa, Eighty acres. more or less.

THE sEReEANT's WHISTLE.

When Police Officer Carl E. Kentz. one of the newly appointed guardians of the lives and property of the citi- zens of Oakland, was detailed on his first beat in the northern portion of the city, near Lake Merritt, he was told among other things that if he heard the sergeant's whistle while patrolling his beat he should at once answer it. so that the sergeant might be able to To- cate him, says the San Francisco Call. About week after he had begun reg ular duty Kentz was strolling along Keeping shacp eye out for burglars and other violators of the law, it being just about the hour at night when these gentry begin to ply their trade when he suddenly heard the sharp trill Of whistle. The alert officer paused to get the direction of the sound. and again the rattle of the whistle broke the stiffness of the night
 Anxious to show his superior that he was awake and attending to duty. kentz put his oEn whistle to his Iips and answered. at the same time hurrv ing in the direction from which inc sound seemed 10 come. Again came the sharp call, and once more the patrol man gave answer. This was repeated several times, and still KentZ seemed no nearer to the mysterious whistler As he hurried along, wondering where the sergeant could be, he caught the nash Of star as q man in uniform

Rich Givers and Their Gifts.

An interest in philanthropic work and, presumably, a liking for statis- tics, led MT. George J. Hagar to be- gin in 1893 the collection of data re- lating to the money given by wealthy men and women of the United States for religious, charitable and education al purposes. MT. Hagar explains that he excluded all gifts and bequests of less than s5,000 in money or material; all national, state or municipal appro- priations, and all ordinary contribu- tions to regular church organizations and missionary societies. Then, he found, "the residum represented the purely individual benefactions." He has carried his investigations through the period from 1893 until the present,

ARIsTocRAcY OF BIRTH.

Why did the aristocracy of parent age fail to hold it's own? Why did it die out in America, and, practically speaking, in all the British colonies! :! It had every advantage at the out set it held the inside track. It failed because two great laws of the universe were against it-first, the laws of phys iology. It violated the principles of arithmetic because it required that each individual or household should have distinct line of ancestors, and it would thus be discovered in a few generations that there were not nearly enough ancestors to go around, leaving people in the position of Mark Twain. who declared that he had mo parents to speak of, only father or mother or so."

SIBlETS.

A little stream of water
 On the desert land Makes it bloc mand blossom Like the promised land, A little golden color
 Showing in the ore Will make a miner nutty
 Looking for some more. A little can of powder
 And a little sulphur match Wil make most anybody
 Rather hard to catch. 4 little jug of whisky
 And an ordinary man Will start a lot of trouble
 That ends up in the can. A little dash of color Upon a girlish face, Mankind of different ages
 All are in the race. A little hand held tightly
 And d little twinkling eye Makes a mans heart flutter. Even if he's shy, A little month-old baby
 And an infant stomachache Causes inward cussing
 And keeps a man awake. A little incubator
 And little chicken egg Is the sole foundation
 Of the lucious yellowleg. A little careless handling
 Of a little dynamite And someone is bird's-eye viewing For soft spot to alight. A little bill in congress
 And little storage dam, And the people in the valley Give thanks to Uncle Sam. A little bit of pastime,
 A little bit of care, Soon we make a journey,
 Only God knows where. A little bit of pleasure,
 A few short years of fun, Six feet under cover.
 And the undertaker's done.
