the installation of machinery at the
McMican mine. Mr.. Miller will spend
several days here outlining plans for
the development of this sulphide Of

the outlook of the McMican place and
expresses himself as believing he had
perhaps, the richest thing as yet un-
covered in the field, which is probably
well founded, in view Of the fact that
the sulr rhide of zinc is high grade and
said TO be marketable in its natural

PETTY GRAFT.

Al It's meeting Monday night the
council again passed, Notwithstanding
the veto Of the mayor, the resolution
appropriating $50 10 each member of
that body and a like amount to the
recorder and two of his deputies for
the work of canvasslng the returns
from the last city election. At the
Time Mayor Morris vetoed the resolu-
ton The Herald said that he acted
wisely. We still think so. The coun-
ell had no right TO appropriate money
for work that is certainly in the line
OF its duty.
The councilmen would have about
The same right 10 pay themselves for
attending committee meetings and for
other work aside from - routine at
tendance at regular meetings of the
BODY. She amount Of money involved
is not az all important. The principle
involved is. The passage of the reso-
luton over The mayors veto looks very

The POSTAL DEFICIT.

While there is nothing particularly
new i'm Postmaster General Cortelyou s
suggestion that the deficit of more
than sl4.5OOOOO in the postofiice de-
partmeut il due to abuses of the con-
eressional ranking system. the matter
is worth considering because congress
is I'm session and is in a potion TO-
remedy these abuses. It seems 20 us
THAI there is a. very simple method of
getting at the problem.
Let a law be passed giving each con-
gresham a fixed annual appropriation
for postage stamps. This amount could
Dee and should be liberal enough 10
cover every possible postal need of
every member. There are about $50
members of the house and ninety men,
hers of the senate. Let every man jack
of them have. say $1,000 a year for post
age stamps. That surely is enough TO
cover every rational. reasonable need
as far as the public's business is con-
cerued.
This would cost the government 81
620 000 which, deducted from the STA
500 coo present deficit leaves a net say
ing OF Sl2 $4,000. The Herald makes
10 pretense at originality in this sug-
gestiou. 1t has been proposed by 9TH
ers. Objection has been made that
congressman would put the postage
appropriation into their pockets, max
Ing il an addition TO their salaries and
negIecung the correspondence they are
paid ID transact.
The best answer 10 this objection is
that congressman who neglect their
correspondence, also their correspond
ents. are not as q usual thing retained
very long in public life. 1t would be
10 their own interest 10 make an hon
est expenditure Of tho appropriation.
Another method would be TO require
an annual accounting of the postal
money and II It could not be shown
that It was expended legitimately then
enough OF the additional installments
Ia make up the balance could be With
held
II IS clear that something must be
done 10 more nearly equalize the re-
eelpts ANA the disbursements of the
postai department. Il is absurd 20
say that this government cannot make

PUBLISH BOTH LISTS.

1t has been suggested that though
there is much talk of the publication
of list of contributors TO the Repub-
lican national campaign fund and the
amounts contributed nothing has been
said about the publication of a similar
list by the gentlemen who were il
charge Of the Democratic national cam
paign. We presume the reason for
this is the very general opinion that
the Republican campaign fund was
very much larger than the fund at the
disposal Of the Democrats.
However, no honest Democrat. and
we believe most Democrats are honest,
will have the slightest objection TO
publicity Of tits sort. We would like
very much 10 see the Democratic list
and the Republican list published in
parallel columns And we would also
like TO see published in parallel col
umns the uses to which the funds were
Put. The matter is one in which the
entire country would be interested re-
gardless- Of party affiliations.
For our own part we are firmly of
the opinion that such u publication
could only result favorably TO the
Democrats. We cannot believe It would
not be shown that twenty corporations
contributed 20 the Republican fund
whore one contributed to the Demo
cratic fund. And it would also be
shown. in all probability. that the Re
publicans had at least twenty dollars
TO spend where the Democrats had a
dollar.
BY all means let US have both lists.

THE STATEHOOD MATTER.

President Roosevelt has not increased
his popularity in the territories inter-
ested By his recommendation that Ari-
IONA and New Mexico be admitted TO
the Union as one state and Indian
Territory and Oklahoma as another.
The people Of these territories. regard
less OF party. feel that on their show
ing OF population. Of wealth. Of re-
sources. of ability to govern them
selves, they are entitled to admission
as single states. Especially is this
true of the territories of Arizona and
New Mexico.
Arizona in particular is indignant
over the proposition 10 couple her state
hood with that Of New Mexico. \
newspaper correspondent who has tray-
eled extensively in Arizona recently
writes that If a vote could be taken
there would be at least ten votes
against joint statehood TO one vote in
favor of 81. lie says that residents 7
Arizona would rather remain out Of
the Union for an indefinite period Than
come into the Union as a part of New
Mexico. or jointly with that territory.
II this is "A statement of facts it is
difficult 10 understand the apparent de-
termination Of the president and some
Of his supporters to force d dlstastefui
proposition upon the People affected.
Many of the existing states were far
behind Arizona in everything that
goes 10 make a great state when they
became a part OF the Union. 1t is not
fair TO Arizona 10 compel her to ac-
cept that which she does not want
when she is by all laws Of fairness and
justice entitled to that which she does
want. We are inclined to think there
is altogether too much politics in this
question. though it is a question into
which politics should not be permitted
TO enter. There is little doubt but that.
if this congress were sure that the four
territories would permanently remain
Republican in both houses Of congress
all four would be admitted as states.
Eight years ago the republican ma
tionai platform contained plank IA
voring statehood for the territories. II
they We're eligible 10 statehood then
they are eligible TO statehood now.
They are more eligible, indeed. for they
have been growing steadily since this
first declaration in their favor. During
all of this period the Republican party
has been in control of every branch Of
the national government. Yet the
promise has never been kept. And
now it is proposed TO keep 1t in a half
hearted way.
