Not less than S2oo,ooo,ooo will
be the amount of the annual pension
payments of the United States, if the
Grand Army service pension bill in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Dolliver and in the house by Repre-
sentative Calderhead becomes law.
This bill proposes to give to every
survivor of the Civil War who
served 90 days or more, who has an
honorable discharge and who has
reached the age of 81 years pension
of $I2 month. 1t also proposes to
pay to every widow who was mar
ried to a deceased soldier prior to
June II, 1890, a pension of SI2 a
month. The best data available in
dictate that the total increase in ex-
penditure would be more than $62,-
100000 and that it would bring the
aggregate pension payments OF the
government up to $2oo,ooo,ooo a
wear

The Democratic. leaders in the
United States Senate who have been
attempting to prevent the ratifica-
ton of the canal treaty by arraying
Democratic Senators against it, adj
nit that they will be unable to carry
their point. This is not a political
question as that term is most COM
monty used and understood, and the
interests of the whole civilized world
should not be sacrificed to party adj
vantage.

Settlement of the Friar Land
Question.

The friar land question in the
Philippines has been happily and
judiciously settled. The domination
of the friar orders was considered by
the Filipinos as the most exaspera-
ting feature of the Spanish rule.
This was the ostensible occasion for
the instruction of 1896 and since
American occupation the people
have persistently appealed to the
government to rid them of these dis
agreeable societies. The govern
ment has been endeavoring to come
to an understanding with these or
ders for several years but not until
recently could it get satisfactory
terms. The friars at first wanted
SI3,ooo,o 900 for the lands which
they held under tenure from the
Spanish government. The authori-
ties of the United States offered half
the sum asked but the final agree
ment was that the title should be
transferred for the sum of $780,
900.
This question being happily set
tied the people will have little occa-
sion for discomfort. It's settlement,
SO OPPORTUNITY and satisfactorily to
the Filipinos, can result only in per-
manent advantage to them and
facilitate the accomplishment of the
governmental policy. The elimirla-
ton Of the friar orders, consisting Of
bigoted and domineering recluses,
from controlling the consciences of
the people and the prejudiced and
narrow teaching of their children
will leave the people free to worship
as they see fit and give them the
opportunity Of more liberality in
education. But there is another i'm
portant thing to be considered con-
tingent upon the settlement of the
land question. The United States
comes into possession of 100000
acres Of the best agricultural land in
the islands. This land it will dis
tribute in small tracts to the people.
They will make permanent homes
and cultivate the lands. This will
give them a strong and lasting de-
sire that the government shall be
stable and permanent to protect the
land owner in the possession of his
home and secure to him the enjoy
ment Of his labors. A people of
permanent homes, under liberal
but firmly established government,
have perpetual inducement for
contentment. Such people will
cherish and be actuated by practi-
cal patriotism. They have some
thing at stake. 1t pays them to sup
port the government that gives them
protection of life and property.

Cured in securing the crop and the
fiuctuation of the market price. 1t
costs seven or eight cents a pound
to raise and get the hops ready for
market, while the price of hops in
the market varies from eight cents
to twenty-five cents q pound. A
Mr.. Hill, formerly of Clear Lake,
Wis.,, made the past year over $I2,-
900 from his 4o-acre field Of hops.
Last year he did equally well but
for two years previous his crop
hardly paid the expense of raising.
Mr.. Herod raised 1900 pounds to
the acre on field of "a acres, sell
ing the crop at IS cents pound.
Farmers who raised potatoes there
in 1902 and 1903 received 5000 an
acre for such crop. In fruit raising
many make big money, after the
orchards come into full bearing.
The past year, one man with pear
orchard of thirteen acres, sold the
crop for over $4,000, averaging
more than ST. 900 to the acre. This
was not all profit. as the expense of
caring for the trees and marketing
the crop was considerable. A six
acre peach orchard returned the
owner $I,45o, and from patch of
less than two acres a man sold ST.
$50 worth of Ben Davis apples,
while another man received $I4o
for the strawberries sold from a
measured half acre. One man re-
ports that he made last year $4,000
from 10 acres. He grew 81 cars of
fruit, 10000 pounds of hops, 1000
bushels of potatoes and 100 tons of
hay.
The first cost of land in Yakima
county varies, depending upon vari-
Gus circumstances. Government
land may be had either by home
stealing or taking it under the
desert-land act. In this case the
question of water is still to be. de-
termined. Under the irrigation
bitches the price of land is from $50
to S7o an acre. In the Yakima
Indian Reservation the government
has dug canals that irrigate large
tract of good land and that land
may be leased for five-year terms
at fifty cents an acre for each year
of the current lease, with no charge
for water. 1t is supposed that should
one lease this land and it should
come into market the holder of the
lease would have the first chance to
purchase.
The climate in the Yakima valley
is much hotter in summer and cold
er i'll winter than that of the country
west of the Cascades. Yet there
are but few weeks in winter when
the ground is frozen to such depth
as to make blowing impossible.
There is here but an average of 80
rainy days in the year and an an
nual rainfall of but seven inches.
In this district wher- irrigation has
been in practice for several years
there is considerable sickness-ma-
laria and typhoid fever. This is the
result of the peoples carelessness-
in using the water from the bitches
or from shallow wells where there
is imperfect drainage. x.

The following invitation to visit Douglas appeared in the International American Friday evening:
 Gentlemen of the newspaper frater- nity at Bisbee. Tombstone and Ben son, Douglas will appreciate any ef- fort on your part to present yourselves and your readers in this city next Sunday. The city is going to have a nice, pleasant time entertaining friends and neighbors and will be de lighted to number you in the bunch. Apply for transportation at once for yourself and family, brethern, and if you have not the time left in which to get it, run a bluff on the conductor. As for your patrons, tell them that they can ride to Douglas and enjoy a days outing in the great metropo- lis of southern Arizona at less expense than they can stay at home.

PARKER STILL GAINING.

With each succeeding day the Hend of sentiment toward Alton B. Parker for President is increasing. Especial ly is this noticeable in the states of New York. New Jersey and Conneeti- cut Even at this early date the Re publican campaign managers are mak- ing figures to show that Roosevelt can be elected without New York State. but with the Democrats again in har- mony. and imbued with the spirit of 1884. there is every reason to be- lieve that the cid saying will again be demonstrated, that as goes New York. so goes the country.
 It is a noticeable fact that the Den.- ocrats are entering into the contest will all the confidence of ultimate vic tory. The campaign is to be han dled on a gigantic scale, and headqua.- ters are 10 be maintained at Chicago and New York.
 Judge Parker is an ideal candidate. His record in private and public Fife is beyond reproach, and he has fac ulty of drawing to him the several tae- tions in his own party, and at the san'e time commanding the support of the independent voters of the country. Judge Parker is statesman in whose judgment the country has confidence. There is no jingoism attached to the Democratic candidate, and instead of the grinning teeth of war in Roose- welt, We find the mantle of justice and peace of Parker. The tide has set shows signs of engulfing the Republ- can hopes in November.

THE HEALTH
 DEpARTM ENT.

In another column of the Revie" this morning will be found contribu- ted article from the City Physician in which he points out several simple ways by which the spread of contagi- ous diseases may be prevented. The efficiency of the health department ce- pends entirely upon the cooperation of the citizens of the community. No law is greater than the sentiment of the community in which t is sought to be enforced, and just so soon as 8 strong healthy sentiment is created ir favor of a cleaner Bisbee. then shall we have our fondest hopes realized. and not before.
 For the purpose of creating a strong public sentiment in this direction, and giving the people useful suggestions as to how this 6esiled resul. may be obtained, the City Physician vii: on each Sunday contribute an article un- der this head to the columns of the Review.
 The Review believes that vigorous campaign conducted along this line will eventually make itself felt. At any rate it is small favor to ask ;ba; the citizens of Bisbee cooperate with the Health Department in an effort which means for the welfare and gooc health of the community in which we live.
