METALS.

New York, March 1.-The London tin market was about 2s. Cd. higher today, with spot quoted at e13O, and futures, e1S1 los The local market was quiet. but little higher in sympathy, at s2S550$2S.70. There was very slight advance in the London copper market, spot selling at e57 Is. 6d., and futures, e5S 2s. Sd. Locally. the market was steady and somewhat reactionary as to prices, with Lake quoted at S12.750 $12.S4; electrolytic, s12.371a @$1262k; casting. $12.256s12.5O.
 The advance abroad was probably a factor, beyond which it is reported that very large sales have been made re cecntly for forward shipment, and that heavy additional business Is probable during the next few days.
 Lead was unchanged-e13 13 Ills. Cd. The local market was dull and un- changed at s3.92k @s3.971k Spelter was unchanged in both markets also, closing at e21 IFS. Cd. in London; $470@$4.75 locally. Iron was a little firmer at AIS. for Cleveland warrants at London. The local market was un- changed.

MARKET STRENGTHENED
 BY PANIC OF SHORTS
The Better Outlook Sent Them to Cow
 erino.

New York, March 1.-Extensive cov- ering of short contracts is accepted as the cause for much of the strength in the stock market today. This was the case in Reading, in which there has come to be a continuing speculation baed on the assumption of the forth coming decision of the supreme court in the coal roads case. As Monday is decision day at that court, the bears bought heavily of Reading before the court convened to reduce their very extensive short lines in the stock. The result was a five-point rise in Reading, bringing it to within two points of the level from which last Tuesdays down ward course carried it. The specula- tive covering of shorts in Reading ceased when the court convened, and it became known that no decision in the case would be handed down today. While the rise in Reading constituted an important factor, a firm reaction in trading was taken. Local exchange and in London markets advanced. It was beneficial to all metal stocks.
 A rise of United States Steel was encouraged by news from Washington that the senate will take no action in the investigation of the merger of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company with the steel company. Bonds were irreg- ular.

TWO TERRITORIES

We can feel no pleasure in the public disgrace of our neighbor, but we cannot refrain from observing that Arizona shines brighter in com parison with New Mexico, whose cor ruption was disclosed in the senate committee on territories last Satur- day. That was, however, not the first we had heard of it. What Messrs. Nelson and Beveridge thought they had discovered was by no means new. It existed in the same degree before and during the period when those same two gentlemen were foremost in the endeavor to join Arizona and New Mexico together as one state. One of the many reasons urged by Arizonians against such a jointure, was precisely the same reason why Senators Nelson and Beveridge oppose the admission of New Mexico now.
 Arizona shines all the brighter in the light which the senate committee has turned upon the territories. In New Mexico it is alleged that official dom and party politics are permeated by rottenness. No such an accusation is made against Arizona. There is not a blemish in the record of Gov ernor Kibbey, and whatever differ ences may have existed within the republican party of this territory there have been no accusations of corrupt motives, none that any leader has sought his own financial or po- litical aggrandizement by methods which, if disclosed, would affect the reputation of the territory or of it's people.
 The Republican has not been al- ways in accord with the policies of the governor and it has frequently not hesitated to say so, but there has share with the great body of Ari- zonians, a pride in the administra- tion of the affairs of the territory.
 Arizona, from the earliest times, has been singularly free from public scandal.
 Dishonesty has never been charged against the territory. As we now re- call, the territory has never borne the ignominy of a gang" not even of a ring" though there have frequent ly been factions, working sometimes bitterly against each other to legiti- mate ends by legitimate means.
 The greater publicity that can be given to Arizona's record, the greater is the pride of Arizonians in it.

SOME complaints says the Pittston
Gazette have come from Porto Rico re-
garding governmental conditions there,
and Porto Rico also represents that the
lack of duty on coffee in our tariff
subjects the island to loss because with
out such duty it cannot compete with
other coffee-growing countries in our
market. But the complaints regarding
the island government seem due largely
to the failure of Porto Ricans to agree
themselves, and as to duty on coffee,
that would be contrary to what has be-
come the well-established rule of the
United States not to tax unnecessarily
food products from other countries
which do not compete with our own.
On the whole, review of the past ten
years makes it apparent that Porto
Rico as whole has Jared pretty well
under American control. For one thing,
the United States is generous buyer
from the island, and in ten years the
Porto Rican exports to this country have
risen from less than $2,OO0,0 900 to $26, =
600, 900 annually. Then, under the int
spiration of American rule, there have
been provided in Porto Rico 800 miles
of macadamized roads, a railway around
the island and great harbor improve
ments at San Juan and Ponce. Best of
all are the works of education and phil
anthropy, tor within the same time L.
900 public schools have been establish
ed, with thoroughly trained teachers in
charge, new hospitals have been erected
and sanitary systems instituted, the re-
1sut being great decrease in the death
rate. Porto Rico might compare her
condition, materially and otherwise,
during nearly 400 years of Spanish dom
ination with those brought about in ten
years of American sovereignty and find
something to give occasion for thought.

"The Good Old Tines"

1t was an interesting discussion which
a little group of guests had last evening
on the subject of "the good old times"
They were none of them young-and
one man said he remembered very well
a time when whiskey cost only Is to 25
cents a quart. But no one seemed much
impressed with that fact and one dis
tinctly remembered when his father u.s.
ed to buy barrel of whiskey of 'Bill"
Walker, of Binghamton, in haying time
every year, tor twenty cents gallon.
Then it was recalled that there was no
State Board of Health and no sterilized
milk in "the good old times" Some
body INDUCED in "reminiscences of the
alright stove he used to 'shake down"
of cold morning in the "good old
times" before steam-heated apartments
had been dreamed of. Another man
dwelt whimsically on the fact that there
were no automobiles in the "good old
times" and no telephones. 1t was re-
membered also that stationary bath
tub was very rare luxury.
But still they were "good old times"
to the men who were talking about them,
because they were the days when these
men rose each morning to find the world
newly created. Those were the times
when they slept soundly o. nights. Those
were the times when their health was
sure and their hearts beat high and
youth sang in their blood.
And now the children-in some cases
the grandchildren-of these men are en-
ioying their "good old times" just as
their fathers and their grandfathers did
before them, feeling sorry, meanwhile,
just as their fathers did before them,
for the neagre "good old times" of an
earlier age.
There are "good old times" in pros
pect also for the generations yet un-
born. Because to all of them will come
springtime and youthtide.

Section 2. In all cases in which the
evidence does not show that the threats
we're maliciously made by the defendant
and with intent to do harm and that the
prosecutor is actually in danger of being
hurt in body or estate, it shall be the
duty of the justice to discharge the de-
fendant; and TO determine how and by
whom the costs shall be paid; and in de-
termining the question of the payment
of the costs he may find that the prose-
cutor pay them all, that the defendant
pay them all, or that the prosecutor and
defendant pay them in equal or un-
equal proportions; and in default of
payment, may commit the person or
persons adiudged to pay the costs to the
county Jail until they are paid, or until
such person is discharged according to
law.
Section 8. 1t shall be the duty of the
justice of the peace, who has entertained
complaint in surety of the peace
case, to afford an opportunity and to
suggest to the parties the propriety of
compromising their differences before
entering the hearing.

SPORTING NOTES.

The NHonesdale High School boys
have organized ball team for 1909
and will play their first game on
Saturday, May 1st, against the
Maple City club. The High School
boys have lots of good material to
select from, and ought to put a
good, fast team on the diamond this
year. The Maple City base ball
club have organized with the fol-
lowing players: Walter Weaver,
first base, and left; Will Polt,
catcher; c. Hulstein, pitcher;
Lawrence Bried, pitcher; William
Okowitz, End base; Russell Starnes,
short stop; Edward Bader, 3rd
base; Fred Murray, left field; Ed.
Gregor, center field; George Shields,
right field. Weaver and Murray,
of last years team, are two good
men and will be tower of strength
to a team of this kind that is prac-
tically just starting out. Bader at
third base was good, but has been
out of the game for some time, and
If he can come back we will have
hOthih6 W lCdl llOlA LAdJ COl hCl
Okowitz at second and Starnes at
short are two fast fielders and hard
hitters. Gregor in center field and
Shields in right field will find their
positions hard to field until they
get used to the grounds. Both men
are fast, and ought to make good.
This club starts in with the in
tention of playing not for the money
that is in it, but for the fun and
pleasure they can get out of the
game. Let us hope If the members
of the team make "hit" that their
heads will not get the money bee" !"
