Judge Kibbey did a good job for the territory when he pocket vetoed that delinquent tax bill, although it contained some good provisions and provisions which should be enacted into law. The Sonora election bill, introduced by budding statesman from the Mexican line, and who want ed to vote all the residents of Sonora who would accept the privilege, was another excellent measure-to defeat, and Judge Kibbey did the job with his little pocket veto.

An illustration of the manner in which electricity annihilates distance as we'll as an illustration of the effici eney and promptness of the service of the associated press was given on We'd nesday night. Just after the telegraph operator in the Journal Miner office had received a long dispatch from St. Petersburg, announcing the great strength of the Russian intrenchments at Tie Pass and the cheerful fighting disposition of Kuropatkin's soldiers, came an associated press bulletin from New Chwang saying: "The Japanese occupied Tie Pass on Wednesday at midnight. 7" The bulletin was received in the Journal Miner office at I2:l5 or just fifteen minutes (not counting the difference in time) after the occur renee and a noticeable feature of the news too was the fact that the Jour nal Miner and Tucson Star were the cnly papers in the territory contain ing this news on the morning of March 16.

The Santa Fe New Mexican suggests the Holland treatment for chronic loafers. It might be equally beneficial in Arizona. The New Mexican says |: "There would be but few loafers at the street corners and on the plaZas in the territory, if New Mexico had a law like the one in Holland, which provides that the chronic loafer who is able to work is put iD cistern with a pump attached. A stream of water is turned on and it flows into the cIstern at a rate that compels the lazy person to do some lively pump ing to keep his head above water.'

In his confession in Tucson, J. F. Harcourt, the diamond swindler, stat ed that Ezra c. Bartlett, in picking out victims to work on in the territory told him that Jack Lawler, of Pres colt, would be as easy game as Stein field, of Tucson. Bartlett evidently does not know Lawler as we'll as he thinks he does. He is about the last man in the world who would bite at gold brick scheme, or play hand in a panel game, or be tempted by the dazzling brilliancy of paste diamonds. Mir. Bartlett introduced his friend Harcourt to some of Prescott's busi- ness men with a view of trying to work them later.

Mir. Bailey introduced a memorial in the legislature the other day, ask ing congress to raise the salary of the governor of the territory to S6, 900 per year. The salary paid the governor at present is 8, 600. If MT. Bailey will look up the United States stat utes be will discover that the salary fixed by law at present is 3,500. Congress however refuses to appropri ate more than the former sum and hence that is all the salary that can be drawn. It would be useless to have the salary raised if congress re- fuses to appropriate the full limit now.

The Missouri legislature has passed a bill appropriating s5o, 900 to estab- fish state sanitarium for tuberculous persons. Pennsylvania already main- tains such sanitarium at White Hay en and New York in the Adirondacks. Other states will follow suit. A bet ter plan would be for each state to es tablish such sanitariums under the most favorable climatic conditions, that is in New Mexico, Arizona or Colorado. It wouldn't cost any more and the results would be far more sat- isfactory.

When resolution was introduced in the lower house on Wednesday, asking congress to raise the salary of mem- bers of the territorial legislature from S4 to sl0 per day, MT.

An amusing incident occurred few days since in the lower house of the legislature. A bill was up prohibiting the use of passes by officials ard es- pecially by members of the legislature. Members seemed a little chary about going on record against the bill and at the same time seemed afraid of vot- ing for it, so as name after name was called it was responded to with the simple word "pass." As the roll call proceeded the ludicrousness of the sit uation became apparent to the mem- bres and they broke out into vocifer- ous laughter, as nearly every member had a "pass" recorded as his vote.

Speaking of Mir. Pulitzer's inability to find his ideal editor the St. Paul Globe has the following in which is expressed the apparent qualifications desired: "We are not advised as to the proportions of MT. Pulitzer's ideal editor, but should judge by the ex- perience of the publisher that he should be man with the mind of a philosopher, the heart of poet, the muscles of Hercules; possessing the experience that banishes all illusions, yet believing in the brotherhood of man; feeling and indulging sentiments that graces humanity, still untiring in the pursuit of sordid facts; over flowing with the milk of human kind ness, but skeptical of the motives of all men; having the patience of Job, the conservatism of age and the fire of youth; the pen of Macaulay, the scheming brain of Machiavelli and the financial genuis of Gould. If in ad- dision to these trifling gifts he posses sed an unfailiDg spirit of prophecy to the end that he might know wherein the language of the late Editor Me Culloch-"He would break loose next and have a reporter there," man might aspire to wear the crown of thorns that bears upon the brow of the ideal editor.''
