enough, but the efficacy from a moral standpoint of shielding takers of bribes granting them not only immun- ity. but permitting them to remain in office to continue their treason if they so desire, in order that the man higher up" that is the man who chances to have more money, may be punished, is questionable. If there is graft-and it is not denied that there is-the grafters one and all should take their chance before the law, and Mir. Heney should take his chances with the two classes. It is hardly the square thing that one criminal or criminal class should be given immuni' | ty in order that they may send anoth. | CT criminal or criminal class to the place they both beiong-the peniten' tiary.
 The situation in San Francisco is not only a disgrace to the city and the state but 1t Is a disgrace to the country at large. And the pity of it is that no immediate way out of the diff fculty seems clear. There is talk of large committee about which all the reform elements of the city can gath CT, but with San Francisco in its pres ent chaotic condition it Is doubted if there is any peaceable way out of the trouble. Spreekels, who has backed Heney. is not the man to lead the re- form. He is anything but a patriot and his activity in the graft investiga- ton has discredited the entire prose cution.
 Nor is the record of the reformers in the matter of the great street car strike now in progress in that city a creditable one. Heney and Langdon are more or less responsible for the police department and the balance of the city administration, for they have permitted the ruling grafters to con tinue to rule, assuring the public that they, the grafters, would be good dogs" in the future. They have been good dogs" but to the hoodlum ele. ment of the city. who have been per seftted to make violent assaults on crime is the assertion o. their inde- ssndence by riding on poycoiied street street cars. beat and kill defenseless men and insult women whose only cars. The police have connived in these assaults to a greater or less ex- tent.
 The only incident of the entire dis. graceful affair that bears the ear marks of genuine Americanism is the firm attitude of Governor Gillett of California. Without mincing words he has told Chief of Police Jerry Di- nan and Mayor Schmitz that they must put down violent disorder or he will with his soldiers. He has re- mained constantly on the scene since the first day of the street car rioting and but for this and his pronounce ment to the police San Francisco by this time would have been given over to anarchy.

RAILROAD RATE REGULATION

IN ARIZONA.
 Since the adjournment of the last legislature there has been movement started in Phoenix, prompted by the complaints of the Arizona Live Stock Growers association. for revision of the grossly exorbitant freight rates in this territory and discontinuance of the discriminating rates against Ari- zona in favor of Texas and California points.
 Arizona has been longtime sui ferer from the greed of the big rail- roads and there apparently has been a general understanding between aii railroads entering this territory to charge at all times all that the traf- fic would bear and even more.
 At the last session of the legisla- ture three different railroad bills were introduced having for their purpose the regulation of freight rates and pas senger fares within the boundaries of this territory, but the railroad lobby was sufficiently strong to strangle all legislation of this character and the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Fl Paso G Southwestern were left to the dictates of their own conscience as to what the public should pay.
 One of the defeated bills introduced in the legislature which adjourned in March was a Railroad Commission bill. providing for the appointment of a Railroad Commission and carrying an appropriation of sio.0oo which was to be used h defraying the expenses of presentation to the Interstate Commerce Commission of the railroad ills from which this territory has suf- fered snd is still suffering. The bill was defeated. and now comes a move meut headed by some of the promi- nent shippers of the territory, which had its origin in Phoenix, the ex- penses of which are to be defrayed by private subscription. having for its object the same results intended by the Raiiroad Commission bill.
 Arizona shippers have a direct and speedy remedy. As soon as the com mistee can spare it's data, calling the atteation of the Interstate Commerce Commission to the unjust and unfair freight rates charged in this terri tory the commission win set a day, or several days. for a hearing either in Arizona or some other point, and the shippers and the railroad man. aeers viii be cited to appear at that time and the question of whether a rate Is fair or unfair. just or unjust, win be decided by the Commission.
 There is no special hostility to- wards railroads la Arizona. They have been one of the biggest factors in the upbuiIding of the territory and making it possible for the speedy de ysfopmenf of our wonderful mineral resources, but this reason should not be advanced as an offset against the glaringiy unjust discrimination end the enormous profits the people of Arizona are now required to pay into the treasury of these railroad com panies.
 There is not much danger Of the railroads being crippled at the hands of the Interstate Commerce commis- sion. The Commission Is composed of fair.minded men who understand the railroad business. but at the same

THE NEW CHARTER.

This paper has no special interest in the proposed new city charter, which will be submitted to vote of the taxpaying citizens of Bisbee on the goth Of June. Ii the newspapers of the territory were inclined to treat the new city charter from selfish motive they would all oppose it's adop- ton because of the change in the law which provides for the publication of all new ordinances eight days before they can be enforced. The new char ter leaves the matter of publication of these ordinances as a matter of dis cretion on the part of the city council. So far as the Review is concerned it is of the opinion that no city would at tempt to ignore the important matter Of the publication of the new laws, as now.
 After careful reading of the char ter we believe that it would be better for the future of our city if the new charter is adopted; not that there are any pressing needs for any of it's pro- visions al this time, but as a prepara- ton for the future. h the state of Texas several of the cities have adopt ed the plan of what is known as the commission government, after which the new Arizona charter law is pat termed in many respects, and the plan has won universal praise from all who have watched it's operations and re- suits. It has been found that with a commission of four or five men. upon whom all the responsibility for good !or bad government is placed, the re- suits have been better than under the old plan of electing SO many officials.
 The section in the charter re- garding the filling of shafts, wells. etc, that may become dangerous to the public health is said to be an exact copy of the present charter under which Phoenix is governed. Under the present charter. under which the Bisbee city government now rests, full power Is given to abate nuisances and the proposed new city charter gives no more power to the council than 1t now has. Should the city council find an old well in Bisbee in such a condition as to be menace to the public health 1t needs no new power to abate it. It could be abated as easily under the old charter as under the new.
 Another objection Is on account of the section of the new charter which gives the council the power to estab- fish and control schools. This section we are informed. was inserted at the special request of the members of the city council in Phoenix It in no way
 gives the city council any control over any of the territorial public schools, but under its provision the city could provide schools of its own Tor 1t could render any assistance to the county schools if it 30 desired. Under the provisions of the new char ter city could provide high school It may be that the Phoenicisns who urged this section may have some thing of the kind in view.
 4 great bugaboo Is raised because in the new charter the od law which gives to the council-the right to rssn- late gambling within the ely limits

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt, 5ascomh's In
termlttent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. -Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure," said the school teacher. "But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it."
Ae said, hurriedly. "He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of US folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived, but most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that If
he didn't want to he harried right off'n
the face O the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow deef, gradual,
but steady-an' he's done it, to all
intents an purposes, ma'am!"-

LEFT 1T TO THE OLD HENS.
Amateur Fancier Thought His Re-
sponsibility Had Ended.

An Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to the Hoosier
school of historical novelists to put
in his leisure time as a hen farm
er" in that state. The literary per-
sons venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
"hen literature to locate the cause of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins, to whom he put the
question:
What do you suppose is the mat
ter with those chickens?"

What do you feed 'em?"

He Was Not to Blame.

Little Bartholomew's mother over
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as we'll
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: Il didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

TALKED WITH GREAT EMPEROR.
Belgian Woman Remembers conversa-
tion with Napoleon.

There is still living in the village Of
Ligny, Belgium, woman who spoke
with the great Napoleon on the day Of
the battle-June 16, lS15--at that
place.
Her name is Nine. Anne-Josephe
Rubay, says the London Daily Graphic,
and she will reach her one hundred
and second birthday on July 29. Her
memory is still perfectly clear as to
the Incident. Napoleon had estab-
lished his quarters close to the little
farm where she and her mother were
alone. Her parents had buried their
little stock of money and valuables
in the ground, and in the morning the
emperor came out and took up his po-
sltion close to the spot. Fearing that
he might discover the hiding place,
the farmers wife, to distract his at
tention, took her head in both hands
and pretended to be suffering from
toothache.
This attracted the empercr's atten.
ton, and coming over to the woman.
ne told her not to be afraid, but added
that as the battle was about to be
fought, she should betake herself and
her little girl to place of safety. He
then turned to the little Anne-Jo-
sephe, and, patting her on her cheeks,
told her to be "a. good little girl and
take care of her mother"
Encouraged by his kindness, the
farmers wife told the emperor that
her brother had served in one of his
dragon regiments, but had not been
heard of for several years. On ascer-
tanning the name of the regiment Ma
poleon replied that it was one of
those that had suffered most during
the retreat from Russia, but he would
have Inquiries made. He then told
them to hurry off into the forest of
Sombreffe until the fighting was over.
Nine. Rubay has perfect recollection
OF the emperor's appearance, and de-
scrlbes him as "a little man with a
big nose"
She also remembers the scene of
destruction and slaughter presented
by the village when they returned the
next day. She describes the French
soldiers as fine fellows" but her rec.
objection of the Prussians is not so ia.

Paid Debt After Many Years.

A Moorestown, N. j., butcher cast
his bread, or, rather, his steak, on the
waters, and it has returned to him
after seven years.
A fashionably dressed man came
into the shop the other day, threw
down banknote on the counter and
said:
Please take out what owe YOU
for the steak / bought seven years
ago"
The man was unknown to the butch.
er, but on inquiry it developed that he
was formerly tramp who had picked
berries in the neighborhood seven
years ago. and after buying the meat
left the town.
Two years later the man settled
down In life, and is now a stock
broker. He gave his name and Office
address and said he had often worried
about that steak. (:

TO PRESERVE CURED MEATS.

Any farmer who has been annoyed
by flies which get at his cured meats
will do well to make use of Borax. By
following the directions given below he
will easily rid himself of all bother
from shippers or other insects.
Directions: When the meat is taken
from the salt preparatory to smoking,
thoroughly sprinkle all the cut sides
with Borax. Rub the Borax into the
crevices. After doing this a fly will
never touch it and you will have no
trouble with bugs or shippers. Meat
treated in this way need not be can.
vassed or sacked.
Messrs. Geo. w. Hill G Company, of
Covington, Kentucky, have introduced
this method among hundreds of farm
ers in northern Kentucky with uni
form success. They write us that they
have some three year old hams in
their warerooms that were treated as
above and that they are as bright and
nice today as when first cured.
When you wish to use your meats it
is only necessary to wash them off.
The Borax is perfectly harmless. This
was established in the pure food hear
ings before Senator VIM. E. Mason in
1899.
1t is quite essential that you get
pure Borax. There are dangerous
adulterations on the market. To be
safe you must get "20 MULE TEAM
BORAX." If your dealer doesn't carry
it send US his name and we will ar
