AN AMERICAN SUCCESS.

There seems to have been consider able needless dispute as to the exact length and speed of the highly suc- cessful flight of Wilbur Wright in his heavier-than-ai aeroplane on Sat urday There were those who in- sisted that he covered 9,17 miles in one minute and l6 seconds. which would be about at the rate of seventy five miles an hour, There were oth- CTS who said he did not go farther than mile and four-hfths and at speed no higher than thirty miles an hour Yet these minor details are of comparatively little conseauence. The all-lmportant thing Is that the energetic inventor flew, and flew sue cessfuly, directing his machine in cir- cles and in every direction. apparently at will, for a considerable distance. The second important fact Is that he Is an American. In comparison with this flight of the American in France. those of the Frenchman, Farman, !n America fall into insignificance. Every American may fittingly feel proud of the formers achievement. though the regret cannot but be felt that ne has travelled so far from his native land to work out his ideas.
 It is almost inspiring to read of the generous enthusiasm the whole Ger man nation has shown within the week in the panstaking efforts of it's Count Zeppelin to perfect q practical airship. From almost every city in the German Empire have come re- ports of subscription lists opened to obtain the necessary money for him to go on with his experiments. Al- ready s40O,000 has been raised, in- cludlng a government check for s125,- 00O, and a million is confidently ex- pected Despite the seeming egotism that Americans cannot we'll Inder- stand there is a certain unmistakable evidence of a great and sincere na- tional pride in the all-but-succe work of the count in the note of the kaiser to the latter just after The un- fortunate storm that wrecked his ap- paratus, in which he said: T express to you in this extremely unfortunate mishap my heartiest sympathy, the more so because I and the whole of Germany believed we had every req son to be able to congratulate you on the glorious conclusion of your epoch making achievement"
 That tbe American people take any i less pride in the success of its ,nven- tors in the realm of flying, is It to be supposed. There Is no nation which appreciates national success more than the American. We take per- sonal interest in the success )f Com mander Peary seeking the pole, of our athletes at the Olymplcs, of our rep- resentative car in the world-clrcling auto race, and in the thousand and | one other American enteyprisers. ! There Is reason to believe that the success of Wilbur Wright is relative ly of more importance than that of Zeppelin. Where the possibilities of the heavier-t -than--air invention of the former are almost limitless, those of the latters airship, which is sup ported by big gas bag, seem to have been reached by him already. If the Germans, then, have cause to rejoice and to aid Zeppelin financially, we Americans should take even greater pride in the success of our pioneer in the art of flying, and should feel there Is reason to hope that he will make that art an exact science.

A writer in one of the New York newspapers In giving an opinion of the political situation in Connecticut says that the state Is boss ridden and ap- parently contented to be so. He says that even the respectable Hartford Courant Is ridiculing any attempt to oust the bosses and giving the people a say. To q large extent this may be true but public sentiment is surely though gradually being awakened and there will come time when the repub. lican machine which wields so great power not only in the selection of can didates for public office but in the legis- llative halls will be swept out with d broom.

The New Haven Journal Courier is conducting campaign against the nomination of Congressman Lilley for governor by the republican state con vention. The claim of the paper is that Mir. Lilley is not of the caliber of sue cessful governors--in other words that he is not fitted for the high office of chief executive of the state. There is no personal anlmus in the attacks of the Journal Courier on MT. Lilley's can dIdacy, the claim of the paper being that its motive Is regard for the in- terests of the state.

PHoENIX ARIz. FEBRUARY eS, 1sO
FROM AN OUTSIDER.

As the view of an outsider, the fol- lowing from the February South western Opportunities published at Fl Paso. Tex, will not be utterly devoid of local interest:
 We are not in politics, have no de- sire to print opinions which will show favoritism to either party or to any candidate, and expect to keep out of the political contest which will rack the country for the next nine months. Neverthless, We are not at all afraid to express ourselves when we see an in justice about to be done-be it in the name of politics, business or religion.
 Two years ago Senator Foraker of Ohio chose to lead the fight for Ari- zona in the statehood contest. A few years before that time when there seemed to be a chance for the new states being admitted he stood with Senator Quay as together they put up one of the pluckiest fights the senate has ever seen.
 When Roosevelt was a candidate for vice president, he stood up before the people of the territories, assembled at Las Vegas to hear him. and he told them that he would lead the fight for Independent statehood, (as by the way. he is saying again) Look up your old newspaper files and read his words. He said he would never tire and would not give up.
 If President Roosevelt should de- mand statehood for Arizona today he could get it. If Senator Foraker should demand it today he would be opposed by the forces Of the administration. These are patent facts.
 Senator Foraker, as the representa- tive of a far-away state has done all that man can do for the disfran- chised people of the southwest. The president as the representative of the whole people, has not done so much. Senator Foraker is a candidate for the presidency. President Roosevelt is championing the candidacy Of the man who has declared war to the knife upon Senator Foraker.
 The people of Arizona have been known for fifty years as the most loyal people on earth They have stood by their friends regardless Of personal loss. They have neither as d territory nor as individuals ever left a comrade or a packer in the lurch. It was this that brought them money Tor their mines when the people of other mining countries could get none. It IS of this that the men and women are more proud than of all else.

STREET GAR SERVICE
 MAY BE EXTENDED
New Construction is Under Consider alton and the Time Seems Ripe For at Least Cne New Loop.

It is not at all unlikely that in the very near future there will be a nota- ble extension of the street car lines of Phoenix there being two or three pro- posed extensions under careful con- sideration. It is only question of whether the extensions can be made profitable a matter that requires care full investigation before building is en- tered upon. Probably the first eXten- sion to be made, the smallest and most promising one, will be a line north from Washington street on Second avenue, as far as Baltimore street.
 Though local representatives of the company say that nothing definite has been decided upon, there seems to be a demand for this line by those living in that part of town which is one of the most densely populated of the res idence districts. It is believed the management will see it to the interest of the company to make this extension and at the same time carry the line across on Baltimore or some adjacent street. 10 the Indian car line, thus forming loop that will accommodate a still greater number of people and perhaps give a more frequent service. It is possible also that this line may be run south from Washington street to Jackson giving a car service from the depots.
 There are one or two other eXten- sions or loops that are sure to come in the not distant future as the coun- try is plated north of the city, thougi, they will not be undertaken just yet. One under consideration includes an extension west from the Indian line to Seventh avenue north, or the old Black Canyon road, considerable distance be yOnd the city lines. and possibly a loop south again to Five Points or there about

New York, Jan. 16--Directors of the Amalgamated Copper company this afternoon declared quarterly dividend on the company's stock of I-2 per cent. the smallest in three years
 This is at an annual rate of c,lly per cent, whereas, just six months ago, the company's regular disburse- ment was fixed at per cent. auarter- ly or s per cent fol the year.
 The price of the stock broke sharply on the Exchange on the announcement of the dividend cut although it had been generally expected. Only two days ago the Osceola, one of the coun- try's important copper producing com panies, passed it's semi-annual dividend altogether. Six moNths ago the stock of that company received d dividend of $7,
