Flagstaff U without an opera
house and one should bo built next
j ear.
SHOULD Arizona be admitted to state
hood its population would be increased
three-fold within as many years.
Arrests for drunkenness in 129
cities of the United States aro said to
aggregate 312,000 during tlio last fiscal
j ear.
There seems to be grave doubts now
as to whether Miss Stono is held for a
ransom by'brlgands or for revenue by
a government.
The first thing to bo done, of course,
is to secure the liberation of Miss Stone,
but the Hi st thing to be done after that
is to make her abduction the costliest
enterprise ever set on foot by the brig
ands or the government that connives
to shield them.
The outlook for statehood is more
promising than ever before. Hereto
fore the entire press of the country has
been against the admission of any one
of the three territories. Now, with a
few exceptions the prominent daily
newspapers express their friendliness to
the proposition.
The Arizona Rangers aro after the
outlaws who have their headquarters
in tho Black river country. These
bands of bad men defy the officers and
have already had several battles which
tesulted in tho death of several deputy
sheriffs. It is time they were cleaned
out and tho service of the rangers will
be tested in their present undertaking.
THE appointment of Democrats to
federal positions in the Southern States
Is a new departure in polities. Since
assuming otlicePtesident Roosevelt has
appointed a judge of the federal court
in Georgia and an Internal revenue col
lector in South Carolina, both gold
Democrats. In this it is said that the
president is only carrying out the
policy detet mined on by the late Presi
dent McKlnley. Tho policy has some
things to commend it, but it remains
to bo tried.
THERE has been a good deal of talk
over the entertaining at dinner of
Booker Washington, the leading col
ored roan of America, by President
Roosevelt, and much of the talk has
been nonsense. If the president had
dined one of the prominent Filipino
blacks nothing would have been said
ubout it. This nation is made up of
all colors, and all are free, and the
leaders of any of these races shouk1 be
allowed to consult the president, and It
Is but right that hashould extend them
such courtesies as he may think proper.
The total consumption of sugar In
the United States last year was 2,219,
847 tons, and based on the average in
crease of 0.34 per cent during tho past
nineteen years, the consumption this
year should be 2,360,585 tons, says the
Sugar Journal. Of this quantity 1,000,
000 tons In round figures will comofrom
American sources; say Louisiana being
able to produce 350,000 tons, United
States beet factories 150,000, Hawaii
350,000 and Porto Rico 150,000, all being
free of duty, leaving 1,300,585 tons to
como from other sources and on which
duty is paid.
No successo" to Governor Murphy
lias yet been appointed. Notwithstand
ing tho many sensational reports which
have beon circulated during tho past
two weeks. That Col. Brodlo will be
appointed governor if ho desires tho
place is a settled question, but it is now
believed that Governor Murphy will
serve his tlmo out unless he resigns in
the meantime.
The average increaso in tho length
of railways throughout tho world is
about 11,000 miles per annum, equal to
nearly 2J per cent of tho total lines ex
isting, which at tho beginning of this
century embraced nearly 480,000 miles.
Of tho increaso during recent years
4,100 miles per annum are added to tho
Eut opean system, 3,500 miles per annum
to the American system, while tho ad
dition in Asia Is at the rato of 2,250
miles, in Africa 1,100 miles, and in
Australia 160 miles per annum.
The prosperity of the railroad world
is well Illustrated by the semi-annual
list compiled by tho Railway Gazetto
of railroads building, proposed or in
corporated. There are 1,689 definite
projects recorded, representing many
different stages of advancement, in the
interest of 1,038 companies. Of this
number 1,424 are tho projects of 853
companies within tho United States;
230 are new lines and Improvements by
158 companies In Canada, and 35 pro
jects In Mexico In tho Interest of 27
companies. In addition to new railway
construction an unusually largo num
ber of extensive Improvements are be
ing made by tho railroads. For ex
ample, final plans have been made for
nearly 1,300 steel or stone bridges and
trestles of large size, to take the place
of wooden structures.
CHIME IN THE ARMY.
General George B. Davis, judge ad
vocate general of the array, has sub
mitted to the secretary of war his an
nual report for the year ended Juno 30,
1901. It shows that during the year
there were 6,065 trials by general court
martial, being 600 less than during the
previous year. Of these sixteen were
ti ials of commissioned officers, of whom
ten were convicted. Of the enlisted
men tried 4,800 wero regulars and 1,167
were volunteers. Tho report says that
the number of men sentenced to dis
honorable discharge in tho regular
army wus 1,895, and In tho volunteer
army 333, making a total of 2,228.
Death sentences were Imposed by court
martial in six cases of enlisted men,
four of the cases being on conviction of
murder and two on conviction deser
tion. Tho deatli sentences, except in
one case of murder, wero commuted by
tho president to dishonorable dis
charge, forfeiture of all pay and allow
ances, and imprisonment at hard labor
for life in three cases, for seven years
in one case and for five years in another
case.
The. record of military commissions
during tho year shows that 880 persons
wero tried, of which number 729 were
convicted and 202 acquitted. The sen
tences of 49 cases wero disapproved.
Murder leads in the number of charges
before these commissions, numbering
317. Violation of tho laws and usages
of war follow with 157 cases, while the
charge of robbery comes next with 106
cases.
General Davis says that death sen
tences wero imposed by military com
missions in about 242 cases, nearly all
natives of the Philippine islands, on
conviction of more serious crimes, and
tho sentences wero executed in about
101 cases. In most of tho remaining
cases the sentences were commuted to
iraprisonmentfor from fivo to ton years,
and in a few other cases the sentences
wero disapproved or sot aside.
