 Surveyors in the employ of Ray FL ledge have begun to run lines for the sewer system his company will install in Bisbee if the city council grants him the privilege asked for Some time ago, says the Miner. Elledge says that his sewer company will expend in the neighborhood of Sl50, 900 to get the sewer system in running order, and that 1t will be one of the most complete in the territory when ready to operate. The survey now being made will run liues for about two miles of sewer mains and large later als. This does not include the short connections that will be made from the main pipes.
 The Prescott Herald states that last Thursday morning at 2;30 o'clock the buildings at Granite Dells, Shumate's summer resort, tive miles east of Pres. colt, were consumed by flames in so short time after the fire was dscov- cred that the family was unable to sl.ye
  any articles of value to speak of, and narrowly escaped being caught by the flames. MT. Shumate was painfully burned about the right side of the face and right arm, but cannot tell exactly how he was burned. He be- lieves, however, that the gas tank ex. ploded just as he was going to turn off the flow of gas. The gas is gen. erated by means of an acetyline ma. chine.
 The Phoenix Enterprise states that Supt, R. l.. McDOnnOld was brought before Judge Bnrnett Saturday morn. ing on a charge of forgery in six com plaints and was held to the grand jury in October in bonds of $i00 in each oiiense, mixing total ot S24O0. His attorneys, Woodward X Thom IS, made strong fight to have his bail fixed at S25o in each offense, making total of Sl500, but Judge Burnett, on the advice of the district attorney, de- cded that the bond would be too small. That the attorneys for Me DonnOld offered no defense for their client was surprise to some, though it appeared that no defense could be offered. The only defense attempted was on certain technical holdings of the law. McDonnold was put in the county jail with the other prisoners.

Discussing the political situation and the trust prosecutions, the Bir- mingham Age e-Herald asserts that ''thc transfer of Mf. Knox to the senate has, it is stated modified the trusts, and they will now proceed to make up the customary campaign fund for the re. publican party. They hesitated to act, but the transfer of the chief trust buster to the senate has appeased their wrath, and they will proceed to chip in with cheerfulness and liberal ity. Thus two birds are killed with one Knox. The machine in Pepnsyl- vania secures free hand, and the campaign fund is to be made up. And this is called government of the peo- pie, by the people, for the people P

GRAHAM COUNTY WEALTH
 SHOWS LARGE INCREASE

Old Graham Is rapidly coming to the front in the ydluati Jn of her eyer-in creasing wealth. At the present rate of increase, if kept up for few years longer, aud no doubt it will she will stand as the first among the counties of the territory.
 County Assessor John J. Birdao in . formed the writer that this year her taxable wealth Is s4 961, 900, an increase of about sl ,000, 900 over last year after the board of equal ,tion had finished it's laborS, but $l,2j),0OJ more than the assessor him ,elf returned. This is an increase of about$l, 700, 900 since the present assessor took charge of the office.
 This fi1e showing has b,eu brought about in two ways, nanely first, the property of the county has been very equally assessed, aud second, there has been great increase in property values during the past year. It is not in any one particular line that the greater valuation shows, but every class of taxable wealth has grown.
 In 1902 Coconino county ran up to the $5,000,00O mtrk from about $2, ,000,- 900, thus m ,king 1t frst.claSs couu. ty. Then in 1903 the assessment had to be lowered materially, putting it back into the second class list. It is not any fictitious or unreal value placed on the property of this county that has caused the increased valuation but natural growth in all lines of industry suppem snted by just aud efficient assessment.

& correspondent asks upon what data Mr.
Chamberlain bases his demand for the abandon
ment Of that free trade system which was intro
duccd 10 Great britain as the consummnte
flower Of business shrewducss, political wisdom
and humane bencvolcncc, and which has been
maintained during half q century Of marvellous
growth and prosperity. We hold DO brief for
Mr.. Chamberlain and are certainly not engaged
In any British political propaganda. but a sim
pie statement Of statistical facts viii probably
afford the information desired. Mr.. Chambcc-
lain points then, to facts such as these;
That sixty years ago the United Kingdom was
practically self-fcolinC, while to-day more than
half its meats and more than two-thirds OF IT'S
grains are OF foreign origin.
That I'm 1870 it purchased from abroad only
23OO0OpO hundredwcight Of food Of all kinds.
While now II purchases 3Oi. OOO, 900 hundred
weight
That this change IS by no means altogether
because Of the increase Of population, but also
because Of the decrease OF home production Ia
sixty years the population has increased by IS
per cent, while the foreign food bill has IN
creased by 1,1SO per cent Also in thirty years
the area planted in wheat has decreased by %
per cent and that in vegetables has decreased
by Il per cent
That the farm profits of the kingdom which
were nearly flT,OOOOOO year before free trade
have been reduced under free trade 10 less than
El50J0OOO
That OF Great Briiains enormous import
trade so greatly boosted by free traders, one
! half consists Of food, drink and tobacco
That the Industrial imports Of the kingdom
are declining, having been g Is. a head in 1871
10, and being only Is 13s.
That during the last century, while exports
have Increased only from - 9s. TO fG las. a
head, imports have at the same time increased
from Il los TO IL lis q head.
That while the decennial Increase Of popula-
ton was - per cent in lS2i-'S1 and ia per
cent IN 1914, before free trade, il was only
s per cent IN 1SS1-91 and less than 10 per cent
In 1S9l-190l, under free trade.
That these and other similar facts and figures
indicate an unhealthy state OF affairs, which
must be rcmcdied If hopeless decline Of British
greatness is to be avoided.
This last named is not fact of statistics. Il
is deduction made by Mr. Chamberlain and by
those who take his view Of the case. 1t is, how
ever. scarcely denied by the free traders. Thus
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and others have
declared that at the present tine more than one
fourth Of the people Of the United Kingdom are
upon the verge OF starvation and are so close 10
Il that even the slightest increase in the cost of
their food would mean absolute ruin. The free
trade theory is. however that there is no use in
trying TO DO anything TO correct such conditions

APPLrvG TIE INIT RUE.

IN meeting after their election and deciding
10 cast Tho states vote as "a unit Tho majority
81 the delegates chosen 10 the Democratic Ma
uoual Convention from Rhode Island raise an
Interesting issue in Democratic politics Six
81 The eight delegates uaued TO represent
Rhode Island favor William j.. IICaTsts can
c.Qacy Tor the PRES ieIGal nomination. The
other two are understood 90 oppose hls aspira-
tions The State convention gave che delegates
no instructions. nor did St direct them 10 vote
as a unit The six Who support Mr. Hearst
simply got together after The convention had
adjourned and resolved 10 apply the unit rule
on al questions arising at ST. Louis. Their
competency o. do this VII doubtless he contest
cd; and the national convention itself VIII have
10 decide whether uninstructod delegates can
or cannot thus Doe bound by the mere fat Of a
majority 81 their colleagues.
Convention prece dents do not seem 10 sustain
tie contention that Stale delegation can on
force tso unit rule on itself and OF fits own mo-
ton. Ihe Democratic theory Of representation
in national conventions is that tie States are the
real units. The States are sovereign and have
sovereign powers over their representatives ana
agents Therefore State convention can direct
Tho delegation b. HoaIiEates 10 act as a unit
The minority within the State = the conveu-
ton sees IT. can poe ignored and sHenced-lcft
without tbe slightest power OF speech or action.
liut q the State convention ouits 10 instruct or
20 require BIS representatives 10 act as a unit
the uatu.l inference Is that it wishes 4 leave
each Ga.ccate free 20 use bis own judgment and
follow h.s own mciinationS. Tho Democratic
National Convention Of 1850 certainly took this
common srl-e view ~ the limitations or tile
unit rule WHOM * adopted and enforced this
regulation: IA any Stale which LAS not pro-
'vidod or directed boy its State convention how
''its vote may be given, the convention win rec
'ognizc the right Of each delegate 10 cast his
'inGiyi1ual vote"
This practice has been followed generally in
DenOcra-lc conventions since 1850. In 1S12
however. a decision was given which led
- nuCa confusion and Friction. THIS decision
required the Chair 10 accept rs the vote Of a
Sl2tc lie figures announced from the floor by
tie chairman of the STATE delegation Many
attempts were made under the cover OK this rule
10 cast as a unit the vote OF States not Instruct
Cd 10 ACT as unit But in 1850 and So the
better method WAS adopted Of admitting pro.
tests against the cOrrectDoss Of the chairman
count and directing "a official rollcau OF the
delegation. II the delegation was Instructed
Under the unit rule, its vote was then counted
as "a unit in accordance with the viii Of -bt
majority. But 81 no instructions had been given

DANGERS OF MOB VIOLENCE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: have been moved by the atrocities inflicted
upon my race IN some cities OF States that helDeG
put a ban upon that evil-slavery Reading sew
eral articles of comment upon the recent lynchins
IN Ohio, found one paper that said. The well 10
do class Of vicinity countenanced the acts per
petrated upon the blacks IN that ueghborhood-"
don't believe that class and the class OF well think
Ing people would palate such hendish acts. My
opinion IS that the lynchlng inflicted by the
loafers and patrons OF those places that are de-
grading to any community-the gambling dives and
saloons. The lOafers q these earthly he'll holes
can find nothing else 10 put their hands to doing
except to prey upon some black criminal. and
wreak their vicious prOPensities on his body BY
strirging bis neck TO telegraph pole and then
TnuulatiEg his body with bullets and buckshOc.
Are not these actions the doing5 OF savases and
oarbarians? How long Will this government sit
with hands folded and her black citizens tor
ttred by the fendish mobs? / venture to say that
