 That a universal language may be constructed is easily possible, but that it will meet with universal acceptance must be doubted. Esperanto Is q pleasant theory upon which to specu- late, but 1t is hard to conceive of a Frenchman or an Englishman or Ger man or any others of the list giving up the cherished language of his father taches and which is represented by no flag, no country and no literature. As stated by Professor Whitney. one universal language, like one universal community, ts not an absurdity or theoretic impossfbllity but only a Uptopian or millennial dream.

Senator Brandigee. of Connecticut. was one of the Senators who voted against the Philippine tc"iff bill, one of his reasons being that the passage of the bill would work an injury to the tobacco interests of the country. He has written letter explaining his act lon, in tho course of which he states that within the last few years Alabama and Georgia have invested over ten mill loon dollars in the tobacco business. We have not the statistics at hand, but like the Missourian we will have to be shown, so far as Alabama is concerted. We should like to know where her part of the money is invested.

In a Chicago paper we find the fol- lowing paragraph:

In Chicago paper we find the fol- lowing paragraph:
 Stanley Porter Hyatt, writing in The London Mall. says the dangerous un- rest among the blacks of South Africa is due to the teachings of negroes from the United States who originally came as missionaries. but were not many months in the colonies before they dropped their religion and devoted themselves mainly to politics, begin ming propaganda of Africa for the Africans"
 We don't know anything about the accuracy of Mir. Hyatt's statement, but have little reason to doubt 1t. It is not the first time that such information has come to this country. and it Is reasonable on the face of it: not true. perhaps. of all colored missionaries who go to Africa, but of type of them who should be at work in the cotton fields.

three. In that case, only one bond V ould be required.
 Attorney General Clark also gave notice of appeal from Hle opinion of Justice Sloan. but is was later under stood tnas it would not be taken, the territory being satisfied with the rec milton of it's principle
 There was one thing gathered from the voluminous opinions in support of the authority of the board to make such raises as had been made, not Gi- rectly dealt with in the opinions and that was whether the territorial board had a right @ make these raises eX- cept for taxation for territorial pur- poses. That question had not been raised, but there was more or less in direct allusion to it and it is gathered from all that appears that it is the belief of the court that this power or the territorial board is restricted to assessments for territorial purposes.
 The opinions are given in full below

 The most anxiously awaited opinion ever handed down by the supreme court of tnis territory was presented yesterday in the mine tax eases. The opinion in a general way recognizes tle power of the territorial board oi equalization to do what the board did last August,-that is, to increase the valuations of patented mines in vari- Ous counties beyond the figures sub mitted by the county boards. This has been done in ocher classes of property az well, but the contest came up on the patented mines.
 The matter was brought before the court in two ways-first, in an appli- cation by the territory for q writ of mandamus directed against certain boards of supervisors who declined to enter the raises made by the territorial board; next, in the application on ba- half of the Copper Queen consolidated Mining company, the Arizona Com mercial Copper company the United Globe Mines company. and the old Dominion Mining company for a writ of certiorari for the reviewal of the action of the territorial board.
 Both hearings came on at once on demurrers. It was contended VarioJsly that the territorial board had not pow . CT to classify the property, as it has done. and that il had not the power under the statute to compel the coun- ty boards to carry out it's order.

The Friends of the Hamilton Bill Will Turn
 itLOOSe in the House
Wearied With the Exeron of Holding Their Forces gether They Have Yielded to Leader Babcock's h. vitation to a Show of Strength.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.-tSpe- ciaI.)-With the closing of the hear ing of the Arizona delegation before the house committee on territories both parties to the statehood movement are preparing for the struggle in the house oi representatives which is scheduled to take place next Thursday It is believed by the opponents O. joint statehood that the hearing has influ- ence1 sCme republican members of the house whose des.re for lar play is su- perior to their yearning for favors at the hands of the pre- ident and speaker Cannon, to vote with the insurgents.
 The administration republicans seek to create the impression that their de- cision to bring the question to a vote is due to their absolute Knowledge Of sufficient strength, but I am assured by a well-posted insurgent that the whip-Watson-of the house was per suaded by MT. Babcock, the insurgent leader, to have a test or strength. Watson is about worn out through his efforts. He has made daily reports to the White House as well as 70 the speaker and the task of cutting out weak-kneed insurgents has been trying in the extreme excitement Regard .ng the result, ii all the republicans who have either promised to vote agains- the administration or to Keep entirely | out ,he fights and stand 10 their pledges, the joint statehood bill will be killed.

ization on tFe 17th day Of August. 19O5 that board, while having under exam nation the various assessments and abstracts of assessm ent rolls returned to it from the various counties of the territory. and under consideration the question whether the valuation of prop erty in each county bears a fair rela- l ton or proportion to the valuation in all other counties of the territory did. for the alleged purpose of equalizing the rate of assessment in the various counties, add. to the assessed va.uat.on of patented mines in said county of i Cochise for the year 1905 fifteen hun dred per cent. thereof. which was an increase of $3,345 ,277O5: similarly. did add to the valuation of work horses in said county nineteen per cent. thereof to the valuation of saddle horses thir- ty-one per cent. thereof, to the valua- { tion of improvements on unpatented mines one thousand per cent: that the said board similarly increased the as sessed valuation of some special class or classes of property in each and ev- cry county of the territory; that there i by the aggregate valuation of proper ty in each and every county of the territory was increased over and above tiEe aggregate valuations of property ' sessOrs and boards of equalization of the said counties for the year 1905. These increases in aggregate valuations are set forth in the petition in a table showing increases ranging from $S1. S1 . in Coconino county. to $3,370. 216.60 in i Cochise county, and showing that the : aggregate increased valuation of prop erty in the territory for purposes of taxation of the same. was $9.559 O6O. % over and above the sums of the aggre- gate valuations Of the several counties therein. as fixed for the year 1905 by i the assessors and boards of equaIiza- tion of the respective counties and re- turned to the territorial auditor in the abstracts of assessment rolls of said counties
 Petitioner furtber shows. that the increased valuation of petitioners property resulting. from the act of the territorial board of equalization, is Ss47,. 951
 It is contended by the petitioner that the territorial board of equalization. ir performing the acts alleged. exceeded it's Jurisdiction for two reasons:

matter of the writ of certiorari and concurred in by Chief Justice Kent and Jus,ice Sloan, recognizes the right exercised by the territorial board both in is classification of property and in it's order to ,he count<- boards. To this, Justice Campbell offsred q dis senting opinion. dealing largely with the limitations of the territorial board in the classificaJich of property. Jus tice Campbell IS Joined by Justice Doan.
 The end of the case was directly reached in an opinion by Justice Sloan sustaining a demurrer on the part of the board of supervisors of Yavapai county to the teTritory's application for a mandatory writ. The opinion sustains the principle on which the territorial board acted, but the ques- ,kon finally turned on point which had not been advanced in any of the pleadings and had not been touched upon in any of the arguments. IL held that in making the raises the territo- rial board had not started from a uni form asis or standard and that. there fore the result attained was an inc quality and consequently a violation of the law which first seeks to make all assessments equitable. Thls opinion was concurred Ill by Chief Justice Kent and Associate Justice Nave. The result was concurred in by Associate Justices Campbell and Doan.
 At the conclusion of the reading of the opinions, Colonel Herring, for the applicants for a writ Of certiorarI, gave notice of an appeal to the su- preme court of the United States in the case of the Copper Queen Consol- dated Mining company. The bond on appeal was fixed at S1,O0o. It was suggested by the court that a stipula- ton mighu be entered into by which the appeal in the c-.se might be con sidered as applicable to the other
