Tho contract will bo let for construc tion of tho capitol building in about thirty days, says tho Enterprise. It is more than probable that somo outsider will got tho work, as thoro aro few, if any builders in Arizona abloto handle a $100,000 contract.

With tho discoveay of the new silver distaict, a fow miles from Willcox, Co chise is reaching out for tho first place as a mineral producer of the territory. Theue ought to bo enough good fat appointments in tho Orient to silence most of tho anti-expansionists in tho re publican party, Uere is nothing that changes tho minds of good republicans so rapidly as official pie. The president declares in his meEsago to congress for a free government in Cuba as soon as such can bo organized with safotv to the inhabitants ot the island. Until then tho present military government will be maintained. Should tho government decide to re build Fort Whipple it would bo highly advantageous to Prescott. With Hawaii and tho Philippines, there will for some time bo frequent calls for troops, and Whipplo is a convenient placo to keep the reserve.

William Waldorf Astor is a type of the imitative and useless American aristocav living only for himself and exciting derision and ill will against Jiis c-iaBS.

Mr. Hakna says our new possessions will make an immense commerce that will imperatively demand many now merchant ships, thus making the ship ping industry immensely profitable. But ho insists that a government subsi dy is needed to induce mon to engage in a profitable industry. Mr. Hanna's logic is as crooked as his political meth ods. TlfE SILVER WAS GOOD. Ono of thoso smart, self-appointed guardinns of our national honor has been turned down in Michigan. A dis patch from Pontiac, Michigan, informs us that Judge Smith has rendered a de cision in favor of silver jn tho now cele brated case of of S. B. Baldwin vs. F. A. Baker. According to information sent out through tho Associated Press, tho cir cumstances leading -up to tho suit are thoso: Baldwin owns a farm in Bloom field, Michigan, valued at-$3,000, and upon which Baker holds a mortgago for $340. Tho mortgage was obtained by assignment from its original holders December 13, 1897, and there was duo in interest and principal upon the mort gago $304. In payment Baldwin ten dered Bakor $304 silver dollars, which he refused to accept. Baker at dnco began steps to forecloso tho mortgago. Baldwin filed a bill in chancery asking that tho mortgago ho discharged inas much as ho had tendered tho payment to Bakkcr. Bakor filed a lengthy an swer in icply, covering all thopoints of tho coinago laws. In it Iiq quoted tho coinage) law passed by congress Fobruary 12, 1873, providing that tho standard gold dollar 'should bo tho unit of value." On this basis, ho argued, ho was not boing paid tho full valuo of tho mort gage, as a silvor dollar's market valuo was but 58 cents. Judgo Smith's de cision was that tho tender of thp silver in payment of tho mortgago was good, and accordingly ordered tho mortgago discharged as paid. Tho caso will bo npbenlcd to tho supremo court cf Mich igan, and from there it is expected that it will go to tho United States enpromo court.
