the railroads STRONGER than pubic sentiment. wien thss sentiment stands for reasonable and just rate.
 There was never an attempt made in sany state Iesislature or Congress, to regulate the prices charged by raii. roads. without opposition on the part of railroad attorneys. As rule they are quick to see the danger to capitsi but slow to see the business of the demands of the people.
 The strong argunents presented by she attorneys. and seferrsd to at length by the Arizona Republican. to the effect that three cent fare i-us. lation would tend to 1ntimidate capi- al, Is the same old story. every time the elected representatives of the peo- pie hsve attempted to regulate the oufsgeous charges made by mighty corporations and trusts.
 The fact of the matter Is that rail. rcnes in eAElsonas gre carrying pas- sehgers at the rate of two and one half cents per mile. provided the traveller purchases three thousand mile book A thousand miFe book can be purchased for three cent per mile and the bill introduced to give all the people the privilege to ride for three cents Fer mile, whether the traveller rides one mile or thousand is not radical, but fair and honest legislation.
 Why should the little fellow with small means be required to pay mora for his ride than the fellow who is better fixed and can afford to invest thirty dollars at one time in a trans portatlon mileage book?
 The Review hopes to see the dem ocratic members Of the House and Council meet the coming test fairly and squarely. Let Public Sentiment ride rough shod until the end of the session and the members of the Twen ty-Fourth legislature cannot go far wrong. but it appears at this time to be a case of public sentiment against the strong and flair" points made by the railroad attorneys.

HARD LINES FOR THE CHAPTERS.

The expulsion from the Colorado senate. by vote that lacked only one of being unanimous, of a mem Der found upon investigation to have taken a bribe, Is another healthy sign of the growing determination in this cou try to drive graft and corruption fron, the halls of Legislation. few weeks ago the Arkansas sen ate expelled a member for the same onense. after another member had been sent to the peuitentiary for per jury in connection with the acts of bribery committed in the session of two years ago.
 Senator Burton. in iail at Ironton. Missouri, is stiIi another evidence that the temper of tue times demands that men sent to represent the people in congress and in the state lcgisla- tnres shall honestly rSo the powers intrusted to them.
 Governor Folks war upon the Nils souri lobby at Jefferson City accords with the spirit manifested all over the country that not only shall members of legislative bodies be held account able for the honest performance oi their functions, but that they shall not be annoyed by corrupt solicitation to betray their trusts.
 It is necessary to enforce the rult rlgidly, if representative government is to accomplish the purposes fol which it exists. The great majority of legislators, as of other men, art honest. but there are among then some who cannot resist temptation.
 To enforce scrupulous integrity O action and to make election to con gress or to a state legislature a tes Itimonial of merited public confidence which the recipient dare not betra! is popular purpose too evident to bt mistaken.
 The lot of the corrupt lobbyist aaS of the legislative grafter is no long CT cast in pleasant places.

HE REAL 1Esr AT HAND.

Our esteemed and highly honored contemporary at the capital, the Ari- zona Republican, contains pathetic account of hearing before the Com mittee on Judiciary this week, vixen that committee had under considers- tion g bill for the reduction of rail road fares within Arizona to three cents per mile.
 In a four column account of the hearing the leading Republican news paper of the territory takes particu- lar pains to set forth the strong" points made by the attorneys for rne railroad companies.
 Judge Frank Cox was on hand for the Southern Pacific and Messrs, Burke & Chalmers were looking after the interests of the Santa Fe. whose branch line between Phoenix and Prescott is exempt from taxation, ana whose main line pays taxes in Arizo- na at the rae of s1T5.G0 per mIfe. The Republican says:
 .'Messrs. Burke and Chalmers. in a STRONG address, rendered STRONGER by the fairness with which it was presented. pointed out the seriousness, especially just at the present stage Of industrial develop ment of any legislation of nature antagonistie to investors of capital
 A few days ago the Review pointed out that the people of the territory would have an opportunity. before the adjournment of Ibe Twenty Fourth legislature. to know for sure if the wave of reform legislation in the Interests of the territory was the real article For the first two weeks 'herc was 2. tendency on the part or 2 a,D legi5lators to pass those measures wb.st,, pubFc sentiment demanded. ], The s-tL, anbling bill was put on a : tro,ssv and the reform current rc- : nsed stc ts suitc..' ed suntif thesganf >Ns a.ng fraternity were aown-in the dust g4tt not a very seisss lac CTS lane- 2 ing of just what had hit .hea- S legisiators, those elected to r9prss sent the wishess of the people, had t,arkened to the demand of ninas sentiment. The sgamblefsiwere witR oft friends; not newspaper lifted it's voice against the bill to prohibi. public gambling. and public sentiment was in the saddle riding rough-shod over all opposition.

Many of the citizens of Yuma are helping along the proposition for the removal of the territorial prison from the banks of the Colorado. Yuma now has more ubstantial support than was ever supplied by the peni- tentiary. If the prison is to be re- moved it should be divided, one pris- on to be located in southern Arizona and the other in the north.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH BISBEE7


 Douglas International-AmericanD
 The announcement yesterday that the mining companies n Bisbee had suspended eight hundred men. ac- sompanied with the prediction that he probable result of the appearance of an organization of the Western Federation of Miners in that camp would be a complete suspension of op- eration by all companies there, quite naturally resulted in much comment and speculation in Douglas. The mat 1 ter was discussed on all sides and there was expression of deepest re- gret because of the prospect of labor troubles in Bisbee. something which has never been known there before
 While ife Bisbee managers have made no statement of the cause which has led to the laying off of men. still the cause is well under stood by the public.
 i Bisbee has never had a local labor union of which miners were mem bers; since the day when work was 1 first started in the Warren district l Bisbee has been an open camp where union men and non-union men were treated on the same plane. It is said that il is the determination of the employing companies to continue Bis. bee as an open camp in the future as heretofore. Less than year ago nearly three thousand miners voted on the question of union or no union in Bisbee and the propositoiu to or. ganize the Western Federation in that camp was voted down by ma, jority approximating five to one. So il seems that when this election was held an enormous majority of the men working in the Bisbee mines were in accord with the employing companies in desiring that the con. dition of the .open camp should con, tinue.s $ seas essSa i The appearance of the Western l Federation organization in Bisbee at this time. then.it would seem is not only against the will of the Copper oueen and c. and A. managers, but against the will of a large majority of the men.s q e .s, .s .s- .s. s. "a.
 The appearance of this -organlza. , ton means that 1t Is there for the purpose of ybriagipg, Bisbes under the ! control of lth@ union T6is attempt, Inf predicted, will be fought Ito the bitter end by the combined strength of all the operating companies in the Warren district. 10
 r Unless the local organization foI which charter was. recently Issued should withdraw from the field and | allow the camp to proceed along the oId lines, then the near future may
 bring dissipation of many fond hope: in this section of Arizona and soon
 where an unequaled record for peac'
 and prosperity has been maitaine'
 for twenty years. there may be desc Iation and thousands of men will b compelled to seek employment an homes elsewhere. Unless the unio lis withdrawn from Bisbee V
 shall probably see long struggle fo | the mastery and this will bring con } pleie paralysla to all lines of business When the work stops in Btsbee ne'
 essarily the wheels must stop at th . great smeIter plants in Douglas an

TIE STRANGLlNG FIG.
X Curious Tropical Tree That Lives
 Up0n Other Trees.

Upon Other Trees,
 Visitors to Mexico and other tropical countries often have their attention called to the strangling fg'-a tree that commences ifs growth as an oD phytc-that is, one form of plant life that grows perchcd on another-far up on Inc trunk or among the branches of another tree, usually on palmetto O.. jome of the kinds of palms. The roots of the strangling tree extend down ward around the host tree to thA ground, gradually joining together making a tubelike mass of roots some times as much as six feet or more in diameter.
 When the attacked tree is q palm death to it is caused not so much by the binding around the trunk as by shad ing out its branches by the attacking tree
 When the attacked tree is an eXOgen that is, one with wood and bark-the attacking roots bind so tightly as to cause a stoppage of the flow of the sap, As the sap of a tree is really its food Changed by the leaves so that it can be used) and the flow of the food is thus stopped, the attacked tree is real ly starved" to death. So death to the attacked tree is caused either by smotherng or by starvation or by both.
 The peculiar manner in which the hattened roots extend down and around the tree give them the appearance of some thick, slow flowing material run ming down the tree.-St Nicholas.

They wear long coat cut like a hunting
