INDUSTRY AND REFORM.

The agitation which has for its pur- pose the introduction of industrial training in the Arizona industrial school should be recognized by the coming legislature.
 A sufficient appropriation should be made to purchase and install various kinds of mechanical apparatus neces- sary to instruct the boys and girls in various trades, thus when they are sent out from our industrial reform school they will have acquired fair knowledge of trade.
 It will be a service to them as well as to the community in which they settle and for the territory at large. There is no reform without labor. These boys and girls, who are So full of life and overhowing with activity, can be trained into most skillful work CTS. It is the business of the reform school to take their misdirected en- ergies and train them in and through the proper channels, thus giving the mind other attraction than that of evil. The legislature can do nc bet ter service for the territory than to make such an appropriation and pro vision as will convert the Arizona re- form school into an industrial institu- ton of a high order. thus utilizing

much more rapidly than most people realize. and the prospect now Is that it will continue as rapidly as is con sistent with a reasonable price for and supply of copper.
 Tt is estimated by high authority that the worlds production of copper increased only per cent last year. notwithstanding the tremendous i'm petus given to the trade by the ab- normally high ruling prices for the product. It has been explained in these letters often that copper pro duction cannot be increased rapidly and at will. as can iron and coal pro auction. Statistics are presented, for instance, to show that the output of pig iron has increased about 53 per cent in the past two years. while cop per production in the same period has increased less than % per cent. If electrical progress is to continue at it's present rate, therefore, it must do so on high priced copper"

HARMONY IN SERVICE PENSIONS.

The passage by the senate of ser vice pensions bill in which the union veterans of 1S61-65 are designated as men who fought in the civil war may be accepted as official notice that the war is over"
 Heretofore in ali official papers of the United States the great struggle has been called the war of the rebel lion. Since Cromwelrs war against the divine right of kings is still called by English historians the great re bellion, this designation need not have given offense to any of the confeder- ates who were for so many years known in Washington by no other name than that of rebels. Such re- bels as Nathaniel Bacon and George Washington will live in. history as the noblest of patriots.
 Let the struggle be called war be- tween the states. as Alexander H. Stevens named it, war of the rebel lion, civil war or war of secession. which latter most accurately de scribes 1t.

THE ABOLITION OF THE LOBBY.

There seems to be a sentiment aris- ing in many states requesting the abo- lition by the legislatures there of the lobby and many plans are being ad- vanced to make the lobby criminal. Such talk as this is balderdash, and any legislature that attempts to pre- vent lobbyists from entering the cor riders of the capitol will get itself in deep water, in fact, the enactment of such a law would require some very fine distinctions. The lobby had it's origin in desire upon the part of the people to get into touch with the legislators and inform them of the wishes and needs of their constituents on matters that were not discussed during the campaign, and in this way it is good thing. For instance, what objection could there be to a body of citizens, representing sentiment ur- on the part of the moral element of town, calling upon their representa- tive in the legislature and requesting him to vote for an anti-gambling bill? Or could there be an objection to a delegation of citizens calling upon the legislature and requesting that a nor nal school, or an asylum, be located in certain county? On the contrary, this is an American right that the people would be loath to surrender. In this manner they can communicate many things to their representatives and secure legislation that is to their interest and that promotes the general welfare. The only objection that can be raised to the lobby is that it has been abused; that corporations and rich institutions hire prominent men to represent their interests ana plead with the legislators to pas class measures, frequently going to the extent of using corrupt methods to sway legislative votes, thus creat- ing an evil out of a good thing. This is true; but an attempt to legislate against it would do more harm thar good. In order to get at the corrupt lobbyist it would be necessary almost to deny the right of petition-one of the foundation stones of republican government. Anyway, it is preposter- aus for legislator to try to legislate temptation out of his way. If he is not strong enough to resist the bland ishment of the lobbyists and sift from the mass of petitions and suggestions the honest needs of the country he should not offer himself as a candi- date for a lawmaker.
 In other words, the crying need Of the country is not the elimination of the lobby, but the election of honest and sensible men to the legislature.

MECHANICAL BOXER.
Connecticut Mans Invention a Now
 city With Good Points.

Connecticut Mans Invention a Now
 city With Good Points.
 Sparring partners are no longer nee training. for Charles Lindsey of 5S Glen street, New Britain, Conn. has invent ed a mechanical boxer that hops about with more agility than a man and de liyers as great a variety of as swiftly delivered blows as the most expert enced of sparrers.
 The great advantage that this device possesses over the living boxer is that it never wearies, cannot be knocked out and never loses its temper. It delivers straight leads and counters and varies these with an occasional up- per cut which comes nt the most un- expected moments. 1t does not give any warning of what kind of blow 1t is about to deliver, for the familiar backward jerk of the. best of boxers is entirely absent from the perform ance. Nor can its opponent dodge its blows by side stepping, for on each side of him is trapdoor connected with the base of the automaton In such way as to make 1t swing around and follow the boxer as soon as the latter steps to one side.
 The mechanical boxer is operated by an electric motor, which works pull nys and crank shafts connected with spring plungers, which make the arms move independently and with lifelike action.
 First one, then the other arm comes into action, but they do not alternate with any regularity, for an irregular cam so varies their motion that the opponent cannot judge which arm will strike next. The body of the autoDla- ton moves from side to side and back ward and forward under the control of an irregular cam, and this makes the blows land in different places in a most unexpected way.
 The speed with which the blows are delivered can be regulated by the box CT; if he be an expert he may make it rain blows as fast as he can manage them; if he be a novice the blows may be made to come slowly. The arms end in gloves and are fitted with many springs, which enable the boxer to ward of blows without Injury to him. self.

scribes it, Fridays debate in the sen ate was about the first occasion on which it has been discussed in either house of congress without calling forth words of bitterness from some member whose dominant thought lin gered in the past.
 Senators of the United States, as a rule, are men of strong convictions who have reached an age at which they are not easily weaned from old prejudices. When those of them who were on opposite sides of the civil war discuss it in terms of mutual esteem having fought, are now thoroughly reconciled, it is time for all others to look upon every monument of the war as a memorial of American yalor and of American devotion to principle without respect to the flag 1t ceIe- brates.
 The nation will cheerfully give this bounty to the union veterans who are passing into the shadows. It will es- pecially approve the gracious act by which the senate grants to the totter- ing veterans of the Mexican war the more liberal aid their friends have been asking for them. Probably there is not a survivor of them who will not receive the maximum of S20 a month allotted to veterans of either war who have attained the age of 75 years.
 So many union veterans have found, and are still finding, homes in the southern and southwestern states that the pension money latest voted is every year more equally distribut- ed between the sections than that paid out before. In order that the treasury may not feel the draft upon it, the ten or fifteen millions which this bill adds to the pension account ought in some way be deducted from our costly and wasteful expenditures in the distant Philippines.-Republic.

 fe can get any price for copper we loose to ask The market is abso- .uteIy bare of supplies and manufac- Iurers who have not taken care of their requirements already must eith- CT find some one who will resell a lot bought at lower prices or go with out.
 "A gentleman who, from his posi- ton in the electrical field, is better able to speak than almost anyone else, is quoted as follows: The develop ment and expansion of the use of electricity can only be measured at present by the ability to get the met al, copper I have believed for years that this stage would be reached sooner or later, but did not realize it was at hand. It is plain, however, that it is the constantly growing de- mand for electric power that is ab- sorbing every pound of available cop per. as substitutes for the metal are being used in practically ever other line.
 Sheet copper workers and cornice makers declare that they are using zonly half the copper they would were the price down to Is cents. Galva- 6ized iron is taking the place of cop per in the building trades; and the consumption of brass has suffered in some directions. This is how the ad- vance in price has made available a larger amount of copper to supply the tremendous growth of demand from electrical manufacturers, wire mills, etc.
 Copper is coming to be a direct competitor of coal The world is us ing mechanical power in a constant ly increasing ratio. Every advance in the wages of coal miners, every in crease in the cost of mining supplies and in other mining expenses increas- es the price of coal, and, therefore, advances the cost of creating power.
 'son the other hand, there have been most decided advances in the science of electrical generation and transmission, and in many places, electricity, generated by waterpower, is entering into competition with the Isolated steampower plant. Where op- portunities exist for creation of cleo tricity by waterpower copper at s1 a pound is cheaper than coal ct s7 per ton. Now that electrical power can be transmitted 800 miles or more without any appreciable loss. water power privileges are advancing in price; and the question as to wheth- CT it Is cheaper to generate electric ity at the coal mines and transmit it across country by wire or to ship the coal to local steam plants, as is done now, is being considered by power economists.

Tin Cnn Power.

There has been so much dissatis-
faction this season over the appar-
ent partially of the president Of the
West Penn baseball league in favor
OF one or two of the clubs in the
league that there is general de-
mand for a change in that office. Mr.
Power has not measured up to what
is expected of league president
and has permitted manipulation Of
the schedule that has done great in
Justice to- several of, the league
teams. With the possible exception
of two, perhaps. but one, there has
been constant complaint and the
president of one club has been open
ly and repeatedly charged with be-
ing the actual head of the league.
1t has also been charged against him
that he has conducted the affairs of
the league in the most high-handed
manner in favor always of his own
team. This has not been denied,
and it must therefore be accepted as
the fact
The seasons end means that steps
are likely to he taken at once look
ing toward reorganization and all the
clubs that have a grievance Just, as
they believe. should get together,
harmonic any trlfle differences they
pay have among themselves and see
that they are not imposed upon. If
--they will take the right kind of. a
stand at the very start, 1t will be
easier for them to get justice and
fairness afterwards.
One of the first things to look at
ter will be the presidency of the
league. 1t is charged that Power
has not been on the square. Several
of tn clubs believe this and they will
not be satisfied with his retention,
no matter what assurances are made.
and the league must first seek a new
president, but, while they are doing
this, let them have an eye to fair
treatment of every club in the league
ever with a view TO having no such
manipulation as has mnde itself so
disgustingly apparent this season.

Needing the suggestions and APP
peals of the Telegram in behalf of
the public good. the present city ad-
ministration has brought about some
wholesome changes in conditions
and instituted the work on some i'm
provements that will rebound to the
glory of the administration and
prove of great benefit to the city and
its residents.
But, there is more yet to do. and
OF this there is nothing more urgent
to be done than 20 regulate the SAN
itary conditions. 1t may not be pos
sible TO establish a regular garbage
collecting system, as it has been
shown such would be far more ex-
pensive at this time than the city
could afford, but there certainly is
no necessity to tolerate any longer
the outrageous practice garbage col
lectors have of hauling the foul
stuff through the streets in broad
day light and in uncovered wagons,

probably console themselves with the
idea that the colored fellow voted
