Money Saved on state Printing.

Commissioner of Printing w. A.
Platt has made report to Governor
Peabody, covering the first quarter of
the current year.
The report demonstrates the wisdom
OF the last Legislature in putting one
man in charge of the state printing.
Previous to the last session which Gre
ated the Office of the State Commits
sioner of Printing the matter of
making contracts for printing had been
placed in the hands of clerk in the
Secretary of States Office; but as
matter of fact the various departments
did their own contracting.
The report states that during the
year Just ended the total expenses for
printing have been $20,644.59. The
books of the department show that the
expenditures for the previous year,
1902, was $50, ,1S4.43, more than two
and half times as much. The reduc-
tion was partly due to the smaller
amount of printing ordered by the de-
partments of state, and partly to the
smaller amounts paid for printing.
careful estimate of the cost of print
ing for the last year at the rates paid
during the previous year would have
raised the amount from $2O.6445O to
$37 700. In other words there has
been total saving of $31 500 during
the new administration, $14, 800 of 1T
due to the smaller amounts ordered by
the departments, and 1000 leakage
on prices paid during the previous
year.
The total cost of printing for the bl-
elnial period, including the years 1901
and 1902, was about 100000. The TO-
tai cost for the present biennial period,
as nearly as can be estimated at the
present time, will be about 100000,
considerably less than half the former
reads as follows:
IF the amount paid for printing of
House and Senate Journals, Session
Laws, etc., be taken from the totals
for the two years under comparison,
the difference is even more striking. In
the year April, 1901-O2 the cost of
printing, aside from those items, was
more than $4,000; in the year April.
190a-O4 it is less than $13,500-just
about one-third.
1.-The excessive prices paid in pre-
vious years for printing were largely
due to the fact that SO many articles
of quite common use were not speci-
fed in the contract. In some of these
cases, | have been able to bring them
under the present contract without un-
duly stretching its provisions, and in
cases where articles ordered were
clearly not within the contract. have
obtained bids and let the contract to
the lowest bidder In former years 1t
was general practice to order letter.
heads, blanks, circulars and the like.
on higher grade Of paper than was
specified in the contract, thus running
up bills for extras. There is q general
disposition in all the departments now
to avoid these extras and to keep down
the cost of printing as low as possible
When the new contracts are let, next
fall. shall see to 1t that they are
made as specific as possible. and that
all articles Of common use are
brought within their terms.

PLEADED GUILTY

Murderer Faces = Great crvHd In the

the court room to-day in the presence
of fully 500 persons, men and women.
who had gathered to witness proceed
ings at the preliminary hearing. The
hearing lasted just ten minutes and at
the end Magistrate Thomas Hooper
bound the murderer over to the Grim
inal Court without bonds. The quiet
demeanor of the large crowd was very
marked. 1t is now thought by those In
charge of Galbraith that he is anxious
to escape the full penalty OF his
crimes.
AS Galbraith entered the court
room at IL: 80 o'clock he cast one hur-
ried glance about the room and saw
the faces of those he had known for
years looking at him with open hatred.
He then sat down with his back to the
spectators and in voice SO low as to
be hardly audible. he answered the
"
District Attorney e. c. Miles.
Two separate charges OF wilfully,
unlawfully and with malice afore-
thought numbering his wife and young
son were addressed to Galbraith and
he was told to answer guilty or not
guilty.
For a full minute after the first
charge the murderer stood in perfect
silence, then he said ITO the best OF
my knowledge and belief / am guilty
of the charge" The charge was that
of numbering his son, Azel Donald.
The next charge was. that of the
murder of his wife. Jennie Lamb Gal
braith. The answer came quickly, the
prisoner answering that he desired to
answer that charge in the same terms
as the first.
Deputy Miles then went to where
District Attorney Thurman was sitting
and they held short conference, at
the end of which the deputy asked
Galbraith to plead specifically, guilty
or not guilty.
LAS far as can recollect am guilty
of both charges" answered Galbraith.
The names of the witnesses were then
! read off and Galbraith was hurriedly
removed by a side door to his cell by
. foueIlIl SOuy anu Dtpuly ouei III MAIL
Ryan.
So intense was the interest centered
on the preliminary hearing and curl
osity to see the prisoner was so great
that many of the stores here were
closed The disappointment at the
non-appearance Of Mrs. Lottie Russell
| was marked. She has excited great
| curiosity in the minds Of Galbraith's
former acquaintances and they regard
her to a large extent as the cause OF
his downfall.
| After the names of the witnesses
! who will appear at the coming trial
had been read. their presence noted
and the court had stated that 1t would
be unnecessary to place any Of them
under bonds. Magistrate Hooper called
upon the murderer to stand up. Gal
braith did so. his agitation as marked
as before, and was told that as he had
| pleaded guilty he would be held
without bonds until his trial should
/ come up in the Criminal Court next

The House committee on appropria-
tions has completed the general de-
f1ciency appropriation bill, carrying a
total Of $40, ,sss,744. The largest Item
in the bill is $4,OOO,0OO for pensions.
The minority report declares that there
is no law on the statute books of the
United States that warrants the 81, $780,
900 appropriation asked for by the COM
sioner of pensions to pay the deficiency
caused by legislative order. and I'VE
will move on the floor of the House to
reduce the appropriation asked for
pensions to the extent of $1,500,000 for
that reason"

though Mr.. Cleveland had denied this,

also referred to the denials of Mr..

In Cabinet meetings and in confer
ences directly between the executive
and heads of departments. the whole
subject of the status of the Chinese i'm
migration question as 1t will be after
the lapse Of the existing treaty has
been thoroughly digested, and it can be
stated that the administration feels
that 1t has ample warrant for continu-
ing to enforce the rigid provisions OF
the Chinese exclusion act regardless OF
the denunciation of the treaty. So far
from opening the door to Chinese i'm
migration, the lapse Of the treaty will,
1t is said, actually render the entrance
of Chinese into this country more diff
ficult than while the treaty remained in
force. This fact has been pointed out
TO the Chinese government by Mr.. Con-
ger. who has not yet abandoned the ef-
fort to induce the Chinese to reconsid-
er their denunciation. 1t is positively
stated that the exclusion laws will
continue to be enforced after Decem-
Der next, whether the treaty expires or
not.

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
House Members Exonerated.

The report of the special commit
tee of the House appointed to investi-
gate the report from the Postofice
Department printed under the caption
Charges Concerning Members of Con-
gress," was made to the House on the
18th inst, by Chairman Mccall. The
report is signed by all seven members
of the committee. The minority mem
bers, however, append supplemental
views.
The important phase of the report is
finding regarding the connection of
members with the business of the
Postofhce Department. This finding is
as follows:
After a careful consideration of all
/ cases specified in the report numbered
1895 (the report of the Postoffice Com
mittee on charges against members
of CongressO SO far as relate to pres
ent members of the House of Represn-
tatives. which the committee assume
to be out of their jurisdiction, they
have unanimously reached the conclu-
sion that nothing has appeared in con
nection with said cases that would
justify the finding that any member
| of the House of Representatives has
profited financially in the slightest de-
eASSb "a lAal hhy IuSlhDtl was SutltJ
of improper conduct in CONNECTION
Herewith, or that any member has
done in connection with any of said
cases anything that did not appear to
| be within the line Of his official duty
| according to long established customs.
Having reached this conclusion,
| the committee feel constrained to add
| that in their opinion it would be well
| to make as formal as may be and to
| restrain within the narrowest possible
| limits the action of members in con-
nection with postoffices and the de-
tails of other executive matters, and
that the severance Of members from
work of that character would augment
| the efficiency of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
In conclusion the committee would
direct attention to the fact that this
inquiry has come upon the House sud
denly and without any notice to its
members. Their correspondence has
been brought to the light with that
department of the government with
which their relations are most inti-
mate. In no instance is it likely that
they expected the letters which they
wrote would be published. These let
ters were written under great va
riety of circumstances, in haste, and
some doubtless by the private secre-
tary of member; some of them for
NAL and some of personal nature.
'It is to the credit of the member
ship of the House that correspondence
of this character thus collected to-
gether should contain so little Of an
unfavorable character. Undoubtedly
there are letters which were careless
| ly written. The action in some caaes
was not well considered. The state
ments found in some instances in
some letters from the executive office,
that what was done as favor to the
members might well have been re-
sented. But there is nothing in any
of the cases considered that reflects
upon the integrity of the membership
Of the House OF Representatives"

States Condition
 of Colorado
OPERATOR FROM THAT STATE
 TELLS OF TROUBLES.
Believes Both Sides Have Gone Too Far-Stops Operations Until Condi- tions Become More Tranquil-look- ing Over Sonora Properties New.

D. D. Finley, a well known Cobra do mine operator, is in Fl Paso. Mir Finley is inspecting certain Sonora properties in a professional capacity, and it is possible that he may decide to operate in that vicinity.
 The Gold Sovereign mine, located on Bull Hill, which is one of the best known mining regions in Colorado, has been closed down owing to the labor troubles in that state. MT. Find ey has been operating the property, having a shaft sunk to the S00-foot level, and was employing 800 men, when he decided to close down until labor difficulties were settled As he expresses the situation, When a man with a couple of blankets on his back, two postage stamps and thirty cents in his pockets, walks to your mine and tells you what to do with your property in which you have from $l50,000 to s2O0,000 invested, it is time to look out"
 hir. Findley says that he is not talk ing a stand against unionism, as he believes in it, but he does not think the miners have acted rightly in vio- lating their agree ment of 1894. when they contracted not 10 strike as long as they received 8 per day for eight hours work. In the present trouble he believes that both sides have gone too far, and as two wrongs never make a right, has decided to cease operations until conditions are again tranquil.
 MT. Findley reports the prospects good in Sonora, and has been very much pleased with the opportunities shown by the developed properties. He will leave in few days for anoth- CT trip into Mexico.

A FACT
 EVIDENT.

The Democratic Central Committee of Cochise county has held its meet ing and the members have gone to their homes. The fact has been evi- denced that in matters pertaining to its own political family it is abundant ly able to manage its own household affairs without the interference or sug- gesuons from uninvited and obtrusive outsiders from distant neighborhoods. The business cs tho committee was acted upon, discussed and determin- ed satisfactorily to those present, it oeing natural that all Democrats abide by the wishes of a majority of their fellow Democrats.
 This fact being evident and estab- 1ished, there is nothing now to do but meet, and through the regularly SC }ected delegates to the Territorial con- venuon at Tucson, meet therc, and se- lect the delegates who will be sent to the National Convention at St. Louis, and participate in the matter of se- lecting one person to serve as the nominee of the Democratic party for the presidency of the United States.
 The committee is to be commended upon the manner in which it's busi- ness was conducted. and the results attained in that meeting. All the events and conditions of the Demo cratic party in Arizona in general, and in Cochise county in particular, be- speak the most favorable and com plete successful organization the par ty has ever had, more capable than ever of giving to the people, candi- dates and officers of whom it is a pleasure to say, neither the party nor the people have had any occasion to apologize.
 Another eviGent fact is that the Democrats have opinions and minds of their own. They meet and speak them freely among themselves, and il is to their most excellent credit in Cochise county, that having discussed fairly all their differences, all go away united in the one idea-and that Dem ocratic success, subordinating all that is personal. Congratulations and commentators all around are in or der and extended

BEAT, ROOSEVELT, IS DEMOCRATIC ISSUE.

The main issue in the National campaign this year is the Gefeat oI the Republican party. That party has grown so aggressive and brazen in its rascality and unworthiness that any Democrat should be able to head of the Rough Rider candidate in the race this fall. The Republican par ty stands for everything today which threatens to injure the producer and laboring men of the country; it stands for the trusts, and without the sup port of these great aggregations of wealth it would be helpless before the country; it stands for centralization of power more than ever before.
 Never in the history of this coun- try has any president ever been al lowed to so completely dominate con gressionai action as has Roosevelt; he has become a dictator, who pre- sumes to say what laws shall and what laws shall not be passed by Congress. He has, without consult ing Congress or asking an appropria- tion of money for the purpose, by the stroke of his own pen, increased the pension list thirty millions per year.
 In the present national administra- tion corruption permeates almost ev- cry department, and runs from the top to the bottom. In the Interior Department land frauds and Indian steals have grown rank and brazen; in the War Department peculation has grown rampant; in the Post Office De partment the most fragrant rascality has been exposed, and in many in- stances the high officials responsible for it have been whitewashed and giv- en a certificate of good character by the President and Congress.
 To get rid of such a party and such a president should be the burning is- sue of the approaching campaign, and every man who loves his country should hurry to the front of battle in one supreme effort to rescue the coun- try from disgrace and pillage.
 The issue is to beat the Republi- cans; we believe the St. Louis conven- ton will name the man. Let Arizo- mas delegation go 10 that convention free to assist in choosing the right man. Many worthy men have been mentioned and will be before that con- vention- Arizona should not be over particular; whoever can demonstrate his ability to make his election sure on a wise platform which will promise a breaking away from centralized and plutocratic power, should be ac- ceptable to Arizona.
