A Recall of Authority.

Tn its attitude toward the Panama canal emergency relief bill congress has shown a disposition to take less for granted in the future and to recall part of the authority which has been gradually slipping from the legislative to the executive branch of the gov ernment.
 Not long after the decision of the board of engineers in favor of the sea level canal. it was semi officially stat ed that the commission would probably revise the action of the board, but that the president would have the final word. Until congress took up the re- lief bill very little was known outside of the higher circles of the war de- partment of the operations on the isthmus. The so-called reports dis closed little of value. Tll: whole mat ter had come to be regarded as one of those things which in their working out by the president and his advisers are none of the puJlics immediate business.
 Congress however took a different view and a committee learned some surprising things from the head of the war department. It learned that the most extravagant salaries were being paid to occupants of offices whose very existence had been hitherto un- suspected. It was also brought out that if the money which had already been absolutely wasted in preliminary operations had been saved, there would have been no need of a relief bill It is probable that congress henceforth will assist in the supervision of that great enterprise.

Joint-statehood is desired by dlsgrun- tied lawyers who have bumped against the present territorial judicial system; by lawyers who lament the lessening volume of legal business in conse- quence of the growing understanding among the people of the territory; by discredited politicians to whom all ave nues to territorial office are closed. These three classes hope to get some thing out of the wash. They might out of jointure but no other class of citizens could even remotely hope to be henefitted.

LITERARY PARTNERSHIPS.

The announcement of the death of the widow of James Rice recalls the notable collaboration between James Rice and Walter Besant. It was like the partnership of Erckmann and Chatrain Today we have the example of the Castles, mother and son, writ ing in collaboration, and other modern instances can be cited Andrew Lang said years ago: "As a rule in collabOr ation one man does the work while the other looks on." Another opinion is that of Dumas, who wrote: "One is all ways the dupe and he is the man of talent" Those who knew the two men said it was James Rice who supplied the ingenious plots and Walter Be sant who worked out the detail.

A Capital "Blind"

If there are any patriots" in Phoe- nix-and Judge Ainsworth says there are-who are opposing jointure merely to save the capital, they cannot serve the purpose of the jOintists better than by writing to Washington agreeing to accept joint-statehood with the capi- tal for Phoenix half the time. Such a proposition would no doubt be ac- cepted by Senator Beveridge in his present extremity. He can have no interest in the location of the capital. It was located by the joint-statehood bill in New Mexico only because there was a stronger joint-statehood send- ment there than in this territory. No doubt the most rabid of the Albuquer- que jointists would consent to divis- ion of the capital; perhaps rather than that jointure should fail, they would agree to surrender the capital entirely to Arizona The capital of the ter ritory is to those schemers very trif- ling matter in comparison with the control of Arizona and New Mexico.
 We will suppose that the capital is as vital to us as Judge Ainsworth would have us believe it is; even then one would be a very silly Phoenician who would give up the present pros- pect of defeating the joint-statehood bill for it. How long would Phoenix hold it? Until, after joint-statehood had been fairly established, the New Mexicans should choose to move it. They would almost certainly choose to do so very quickly and they would be acting quite properly and in the in terest of the new state. Phoenix, sit uated far from the center of "Arizo- na the Great would be about as incon- veniently located for the seat of gov crnment as any place that could be selected. Any neces- sary majority for the removal of the capital from Phoenix to Albuquerque could be secured. The solid overwhelm- ing vote of New Mexico would be cast for removal and it would be reinforced by a considerable vote in NavaJo and Apache counties. Many a man in those counties who is opposing joint-state- hood now would make the best of the situation which had been forced upon him and would want the capital in the most convenient place. With Arizona gone, there would be no patriotic incen- tive in favor of Phoenix.
 Those who write letters to Baveridge offering to accept half a capital are likely to undo much that has been done and to alienate the interest of those senators and representatives who are now fighting our battle for us. They would very properly withdraw their support from a people any considerable number of whom are possessed of such swinish instincts as such letters dis close.
 We do not believe there are enough men who would make such a dis graceful peace to enlist the attention of congress. We do not know of any, but the foregoing ideas are presented for the consideration of such as may be tending toward that particular form of insanity.

NEGRO KILLS WHITE MEN.

Hope, Ark, Nov. 2s.-A negro
known as Squire Smith, about 30
years old, shot and killed two
white men this morning about 8
O'Clock six miles east of here and
escaped. He is being pursued by
posse.
The victims of the negro
wrath are Count and John Cleg-
horn, brothers. One of them was
killed instantly and the other died
an about 20 minutes.
The tragedy occurred at a point
IN h line of Hampstead
and Nevada counties. A dog be-
longing to the negro had been
killed and be accused the Cleg-
horns of the act.
Early this morning some angry
words passed between the negro
and the two brothers. A few
hours later while the two Cleg-
horns were engaged in clearing
some land the negro Smith came
upon them, shooting both men
down with pistol of large cali
Der.
1t is probable that the negro, if
caught, will be summarily dealt
with.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.

Henry Armstrong, Fish Springs
(Cal) settler, gave an exhibition Of
iron nerve a few days ago which sur
passed anything heard of thereabout
for some years. Armstrong had been
bothered by the depredations of wild
animals, which nightly raided his pas
lures, and in an effort to thin out the
pests he set several strong steel traps
about the ranch, three of them being
for big game.
Two wildcats and a coyote were
trapped the first night and three
coyotes on the third night, and few
nights later Armstrong hurried to one
of the traps, attracted by a shrin yell,
and found mountain lion between
the steel teeth. He dispatched the lion
and was setting the trap again, when
the teeth came together. sinking into
his middle finger.
Armstrong was imprisoned in such
a way that he could not open the trap,
and after firing off his revolver and
loudly calling in a vain effort to at
tract attention, he got out his pocket
knife and deliberately cut off the
finger This was an easy task, though
painful, for the trap had crushed the
bone and cut open the flesh. He then
went home. and his brother dressed
the injury.

won out, and that is the only question
asked on Wall street.
AS to the gigantic Equitable reorgan-
ization, the statements of Ryan, of
Hydes counsel, Samuel Untermyer; of
Grover Cleveland. of Westinghouse, and
of Justice O'Brien all agree that it was
only undertaken by Mr.. Ryan for mo-
tives of public good. The deplorable
fight in the society was not only de-
stroying it, but was disarranging the
entire business world. To save the
situation Ryan stepped in. This is the
version of the affair given to the public
by all concerned The 502 shares Of
Hyde stock, constituting majority of
the 1000 of the company, are under
the control of the three trustees, Cleve-
land, O'Brien and Westinghouse, and
will be voted by them. They will elect
the directors of the company and die
tate its policy. The face value of these
shares is only 500 each, and their
earning capacity is limited by law to
z per cent per annum, only a matter
of $4,000 per year, yet Ryan paid
81, 500, 900 for them. This has caused a
great deal of speculation as to the mo-
tive behind the step. Wall street is
usually very wise on these matters, and
the next day after the move was
known the shares of the Metropolitan
SIISeI railway CoHipdly jumped HVe
points in the market. That Equitable
surplus represents a big chunk of
money and the holder of it, especially
! as astute a fnancier as Thomas F.
Ryan, has a point of vantage.
Ryan's statement in taking control is
characteristic of the man. Deeds, not
| words. will express the new policy of
the Equitable Life Assurance society,""
he said. 'It is not what or any other
man says, but what is actually done,
that will best assure the policy holders
and the public regarding the future"
This man has a habit of talking
| through deeds.

a formidable sum to be paid to public
servant for one years service. It was
feared by certain tinorous economists
that the incentive to employ question
able means to reach the White House
might be greatly stimulated. In those
days there was no president of a trust
drawing a salary five times that of the
president of the republic. The govern
ment became the most liberal pay
master in the country. Nowadays the
whole matter has assumed quite diff
ferent phase. Increased prosperity and
the rapid accumulation of wealth have
worked marvels in the economic status
of the republic. The giant combinations
of commercial interests, unknown to
the past generations, have established
precedent for salary paying that has
dWarfed the governments most expan-
slVe generosity. The time has come
when the salaries of many of the coun-
try's most capable and most valuable
servants are ridiculously disproportion-
ate to the service rendered and are es-
pecially inadequate with reference to
the increased cost of living and main
tanning an appearance consistent with
the dignity of their positions
This disparity has for a long time
been particularly apparent in the gov
ernment's practice in regard to it's am

countries At the present time the
