mInlstratlon.

Cincinnati, Nov. 5.-Spealing to tn
Cincinnati Commercial club. Of whicl
he has been a member for 10 years
William Howard Taft Thursday nigh
brought every member Of the club u
his feet in an address sounding thu
keynote Of prosperity for the countr.
for the next four years.
Every business man who is obeyinl
the law may 90 ahead with all the
energy in his possession; every enter
prise which is within the statutes may
proceed without fear Of interference
from the administration, when acting
legally; but all interests within the
Jurisdiction Of the federal government
may expect rigid enforcement Of the
laws against dishonest methods" was
the keynote Of what Mr.. Taft said.
The speech which Mr.. Taft delivered
here Thursday night created a pro
found sensation among the substantial
business men Of the city. who are
members of the club which gave him
the dinner, arranged long before the
result of the election could be known
and they arose as one man to the sen
timents he expressed. The speech,
which was preceded by words Of
friendship and neighborly felicitation
on the part of the distinguished guest,
brought out the human side Of the next
president in manner which was most
touching and responded to with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Judge Taft told, In way which no
one has written of, the human side Of
his campaign.
Il have been the. subject Of al
coterie of BOSSES" he declared, with
the greatest good humor, "the demands
of which left me no duty but to re-
spond from six O'Clock in the morning
to midnight, to the calls Of the popu.
lace-and If l did not respond, the
crowd, after one minute, made a
mighty shout 'Hurrah for Bryan"
In beginning, Mr. Taft admitted that
II might not have been so easy to
smile Thursday night If the tele-
grams of congratulations which passed
between Lincoln and Cincinnati Thurs
day had been originated in this city
instead of the home Of the great com,
mOner.
Seriously" he declared, "the indi.
cations are already apparent and the
hopes which I entertain are that the
business communities and the invest.
crs Of both foreign nations and among
our people, will take heart In carry
Ing out the great enterprises which
have been projected and which must
be carried to determination II the
country is to reach its full need Of
prosperity"
Business men are to be shown the
ines of legality and are to be directed
N keeping within those lines which
have been emphasized during the last
our years. Business men shall know
hat they are to conform to the laws
lpon the statute books, and that no
avors are to be expected for those
Who break the laws.
"This shall be so that the men who
conduct legitimate business may un.
lerstand that the government is back
# them, and does not intend to do
Inything to interfere with their legiti-
nate advancement"

aa INCREASED APPROPRIATION.

In 1898 Congress appropriated ten thousand dollars for irrigation and drainage investigation. The amount of this appropriation has been increased by each congress un- til 1t amounts now to $150,000
 But the two branches of the inves- tigation have been segregated so the part of the appropriation de- voted to irrigation investigation amounts to $65,000. That is suf- ficient to cover from 5@o to 10% only of the territory now under ir- rigation. The importance of the work cannot be overestimated; and there is a desirability for great increase in the appropriation, or at least that it shall not be curtailed. All Arizonans are interested in this proposition, and all should unite in urging delegate Smith to work for an increased appropriation. The appropriation is manipulated by the agricultural committees of the House and Senate. It is be- fore them that the delegate should work. All commercial bodies, boards of supervisors, etc., should unite in communicating with Mir. Smith in the matter. The subject is respectfully suggested to the Nogales Board of Trade.

MT. George w. Atkinson, of Ca labasas, who was in Tucson through the holidays, returned to the ranche Thursday.
 The post office at Old Glory, which was discontinued some time ago, has been established by the Post Office Department.
 It is reported that the long trestle bridge on the railway 6 short distance this side of Calaba- sas, Is to be replaced by a substan- tial steel structure.
 The Southern Pacific has estab- lished a carload rate of $3.50 per ton for hay from Calabasas to Tue son, which is half a dollar better than is given any other hay ship ping point. Tucson consumes great deal of hay and offers a good market. The Calabasas farmers should siege the opportunity and work off their surplus at good prices.

Dastardly Murder.

About ' o'clock yesterday even- ing one of the compatriots of Sin Chong, a Chinese merchant whose store is on the west side of the arroyo, facing Grand Avenue just north from the post office, on going to the store found the front door locked. Going to the back door he found that unlocked, and entering he was shocked by horrible sight. The proprietor lay cold in death- decapitated. Two ugly instruments stained with blood laid beside the dead man. One was a mining drill about two feet long, the other a bridge bolt about the same length. Evidently the man had been felled senseless with those, and then de- capitated with sharp knife, which was carried away.
 Robbery was very plainly the object of the atrocious crime. It is related that during the afternoon Mr. Pablo Soto, collector for Proto Brothers collected bill amount ins to about $200. In getting the money to pay the bill the merchant displayed large roll of Mexican money and some gold. None of that is to be found on the premises. Without doubt the money was the object of the murder and was taken by the murderer or murderers. Mir. Soto relates that when he collected the bill there was Mexican pre- sent who saw the money display ed by the Chinaman. Very likely that man is the murderer.
 Justice Gildea impanelled cor oner's jury and held an inquest yesterday evening. The veredict was to the effect that deceased re- ceived his death at the hands of person or persons unknown.

 Beginning the first of the year the Sonora railway withdrew the night train between Nogales and Guaymas, the sleeping cars being transferred to the day run. Aban- ment of the night train removes great convenience to the business public at both ends of the line. One from Nogales could have day in either Guaymas or Hermosillo and return home with ar absence of but one day; and business men from Guaymas or Hermosillo could visit Nogales with the same facility. With the day run only, three days are taken to have one day for busi- ness at the other end of the road. Two are lost in making the trip, while on the night run there was no time lost.
