The Refinement of War

The more light and frivolous us are prone to criticize the methods of Mexican warfare: especially the methods of the constituoinaIsts and more especially those General who is opcr- ating in and out of Ctudad Juarez Ws are gfve7 r fault finding and denunciation o the weakness and vices of General Villa but we have neglected to eAtoI one of the delightful of his virtues lis suIerlative frankness So here goes. General Villa is above playing any low down c5s upon us or his federal enemies. He takes us all into his con ndence We know just what move he is going to make next and the after that; the city after city that is to be taken a last he will have Huerta enveloped. bottled and bagged We know within reasonable limitations time that is to say, that within the months all these things will happen. Huerta cannot te to say oteI it is all that he had been or had had sufficient warning.
 The warriors of the past have been sin fully secretive. Vauban and other authorities the science of war have openly and sI.mecssIy ad- Eccated duplcity in dealing with enemy. To strike him when he wasn't looking vas regarded as entirely proper and even exemplary. h the Napoleonic campaigns did Litt'e Corsican le his marshals into his confidence. Keber.

 But thanks General and other Mexical strategists within the last years art of war has undergone such degree of refinement that frankness has taken the poce of low cunning and duplicity. And it will pay the long run Is lot honesty always the policy?

It's Up to the PeopIe

Official notification has been given the city government of the governors approval of the char ter, and the charter it's own terms. now in effect. Very shortly will choose commission and that com mission will choose a city manager. The Republi- has looked forward hopefully to this day and with growing hope looks to the installation of a government which will direct the of the city with the same efficiency and economy that make a great private business successful
 Our new form of government provides for, that is, it makes possible that kind O a government but it by means it. Whether we shall have it or not depends wholly upon the interest which voters will take in the election of commission and their subsequent interest and vigilance: such req sonable and natural interest partner or stock holder might take in private business.
 No private business ever itself successfully and no system of municipal government has ever been devised be devised will insure good government without the attention of the voters. It is fact that generally those who give the most attention public affairs O the election of officers not really interested in good govern ment but in 'remunerative' government. If all the voters well the organized few take an in- terest in the government they will find it remun- erative not in the way of salaries and soft places but in efficiency, public improvements and economy We think of nothing more to the point just now than the following from Efficient Citizenshfp:" Have you ever wondered what your city owns?
 It has been accommodating property the
 day it was settled until It has bought, and
 seized, and inherited property of all kinds Is
 anyone keeping track of it all, some of it

In an eXultant editorial Tucsons railroad pros poets, (and they constantly brighter,) the Citizen alluded with pleasure the application of the San Diego & Arizona railroad permission issue bonds for the extension that line the Imperial country and thence Yuma. Having in mind the proposed construction of a by the Calumet & Arizona company from Tucson the COrnela mines of the company the Ajo district the Citizen pointed that if the projects the two companies carried out, that would a link of only 100 miles to be constructed to give Tucson outlet the Pacific

The New Orleans Times Democrat says:
Futures declined and spots advanced yes
terday. The talent attributed the decline
in futures TO the selection of the easiest
way out of the So-called cotton corner
case and the entering of a plea of guilty
by Mr.. Patten on terms offered by the
government to all the defendants, but re-
fused by Messrs. Hayne, Brown and
Scales. who have elected to fight the case
to tinality under the belief they have not
violated any law. The trade attributed
the advance in spots in most of the
southern markets to the development of
demand for the actual at a time when
spot owners are more inclined to demand
concessions than to make them. At the
close of the English market the trading
parity on May and May-June was: New
Orleans, SO points; New York, 1O4 points.
The political situation is not yet asSum-
ing favorable shape and the fact is now
being reflected by the foreign money mar
kets, The export cotton movement being
small, comparatively little money is being
used i9r that purpose, all of which would
probably help, We're the Balkan situation
approaching adjustment. The strength of
cotton lies directly in the spot market en-
Nlronment. Low price men seemingly
have left nothing untried in their efforts
TO undermine the confidence of actual
cotton owners. But on the one hand such
EFFORTS have failed because the cotton is
held IN strong hands; on the other, it has
failed because cotton was held for trade
account on old sales and not on specula-
ton as many operators believed. In a
few cases. here and there, spot owners
have hedged their holdings. but such cot
ton seems to have passed into trade chan
nels with such rapidity that now when a
little fresh demand appears buyers are
forced to make concessions in order to
secure needed supplies.

The report in the press that Washing

transports placed in commission to carry
troops to Mexico City for the protection
of foreigners caused further apprehen-
sion of unfaVorable political develop

and Atlantic coast districts fair in the
rest of the belt. Precipitation was gen.
eral yesterday, moderate to heavy in To-
calities in the eastern half Of the belt,
light in the west. Indications are for
falr and colder weather except possibly
cloudy in the gulf coast districts.
The contract market opened unchanged
and ruled very quiet all morning, barely
varying few points. No change in the
spot situation. Business was practically
suspended for the day in absence OF sup
port from the New York market The
buying was light and scattered while
the selling at the outset was small, but
later the market became stagnant and
failed to move either way March found
