A reduction in wages of 20 to 30 per cent, was atrreed upon and will go into effect Oct. 1. And thus the wage reduction goes on in every branch of industry.

will be uoted that in all the announcements of the resumption of manufacturing establishments over which 1) oc ra tic papers no crow so lustily not one of them mentions the reduction in wages of the operatives. In nearly every instance wages have been reduced from 15 to percent, but this fact is carefully suppressed.

Arywt-Ifeti'it will find little re

ward for its efforts to get political capital out of the management o£ the city government. While its members are all Republicans yet tliey are all citizens whose reputation for honesty is above reproach 'and whose business sagacity and sound judgment are generally recognized. Without regard to party the city administration has the confidence of the people.

Till". Aniux-Scirx talks scholarly about the financial condition of the city and claims that the Democratic party would shovel money into the treasury by the pocketful. Somehow they have a beautiful knack of shovel-, ing money out of the Mate and National treasury. If the editor will be honest for once and give the facts concerning the condition of the city finances, lie will find the tax levy is the same a last year, HO cents on the hundred, a levy fairly sufficient to defray current expenses. Taking into consideration the fact that the city paid off a $5,000 bond, purchased the lot adjourning the city property, for which 82.HOO ivai paid, and other expenses outside the regular running expenses, it is not wonderful that they had to borrow money. There have been street improvements made this year, not absolutely necessary, yet. the distressing necessity of laborers brought about by an imbecile Administration, pleaded with hungry mouths for some means to feed hungry children.

The Anins-Nni'" is simply talking through its hat when it says that the city electric light plant cost SlliO.OOO. According to the reports which have time and again been submitted to the City Council the total cost of the plant was $• :),T.Vl.tiS. Itonds were issued to the amount of ?"".000 bearing per cent, interest. The bonded indebtedness of the city is now g.'.o.ooo, S'i.ooo of the bonds having been paid this year The tax levy is !io cents on each Slou 12'-i cents of which is applied to th Kinking fund to pay the electric light bonds. The total expenses of th plant for the year ending Mavis, ac cording to the report of Superinten dent 1'red lirown, were

Tin

included the interest on the bonds about SI.000 of permanent fixtures such as meters, transformers, ollice furniture, telephone, trimmers car and harness, and all repairs, whiol latter item figures largely in reducing the amount of what is calleirdeprecia tion. The total receipts for commer cial lighting for the same period were V.t.2r.-t.2l. making the actual cost to the city for MS street lights and light ing the city building of

SO.417.7s,

Sl.Voti for each street light. This is quite a difference from S17.-H7. whie the* Aiyux-Ncu'* states that our electri light is costing us. Under the old sys1cm the city paid about SS0 a year pi: light for half as many lights, and two thirds of the town was in darkness. Under the present system there is not a better lighted city in the United .States. The lights are furnished on the common sense plan and not on th moon schedule. We defy the Arijus Acu-n to name a city, big or little, that is better lighted, or one that costs the tax-payers less money. Now as to the taxes. In 1MU1. the last year the old company paid taxes on water, gas and electricity, the city received S7f0.ff In 18iij it received from the same com 'pany the sum of S7'.it.H( or about $10 more than it received in I Mill. It will thus be seen the statement that the city loses SI .000 in the way of taxes is not within a thousand dollars of th •••facts.

Song of the Stars.

When theday light fades in the evening shades, And the blue melts in the gray, Wo pitch out louts the Armaments

To guard tho milky way. And we gather the broken sunbeams up That the day has left in its path. To kindle and build the glow and gild

What our sparkling caiuplires hath.

With fond caresses we jewel the tresses Of the moon a» she mounts the skies. And the heavens w© sprinkle with many a twinkle

That lcui«« from our sparkling eyes. But when the stormeloud rolls his car In thunder across the sky. And the lightniug dashes in fitful flashes,

W»» hide till tho storm goes by.

Tho sun is our master, and no disaster Can come to his night of rest, For wuh constant eves on the dim horizon

We guard the east and the west. We sometimes find where the comet hides. And we frighten him out of his lair, TU1 he speeds through the night, like a fox in

Ins flight,

To his home in the great nowhere.

Wo sometimes pause in our journey because We see ourselves in the glass Of the silent lakes or tlie sea that takes^|||

Our picture as? we pass. But when the daylight quivers and breaks, And the gray melts into the blue. The tears we shed o'er our fallen dead

Are found in the morning dew. —Alfred Ellison.

WILD linos IX ARIZONA.

Largo Droves of Degenerate Descendants of Tame Porkers.

Tho Thrilling lCsperlence of an Over-Cotu tirirnt Hunter ho Wont Out to tli&g a Tender Young Sucker—

A lisid Old Hour.

The wildest of wild hogs live both above and below Yuma, on the Colorado river, says the San Francisco hroniele. While the steamer was lying at Castle Dome landing a few days since, loading with ore. a fine band of them on the opposite shore came down to the river to feed on the banks, where the grass and weeds were green, and to get a drink of water. They paid no attention to the boat or to the Indians at work. After loafing around for awhile an old boar came out of the irush. and, on spying us. gave a "swish," and away they all went. Hardly a day passes that the Indians and cattlemen do not run upon them. These bands seem to be more timid than ugly. When the late Thomas Blythe was trying to settle a colony at

Lerdo. forty-five miles below Yuma on the Colorado, he set down a large number of very fine full-blooded Berkshire and Poland-China pigs, and turned them loose on the banks of the river near Ijerdo. where they lived on the roots, grass, weeds, tules and inesquite beans bred, multiplied, kept fat and filled the low and tule lands with a large number of fine porkers. Never seeing a human being, except now and then alone Indian, they soon became wild, and wilder still, and scattered until the low lands and woods were full of them. Notwithstanding that the coyotes slaughtered the little ones in great numbers, they have increased until it is estimated that at the present time there are more that ten thousand of them roaming up and down the Colorado and llardie rivers, from their mouths upas high as tide runs, or from sixty-live, to seventy miles this side of the gulf.

They go wherever they please: nothing stops them hi their course. When the Colorado is at its flood they will cross it from shore to shore, even near tho Hurdle, where it is four miles wide when at its highest gauge. Their range gives them tho finest of feed—wild, sweet potalocs, tules, stray fish, elnms, dead turtles and seaweed along the iver bank at low tide. They are unmolested. except now anil then by a hunter who finds Ills way down thy river. Most of the hunters give the wild swine a wide berth, except now and then as thvy happen to spy a nice little roaster on the bank and within easy rifle shot.

A few years ago a man and his family were living a few miles below the eolony on the ba.ik of the Colorado. IIo had a pair of very fine, large staghounds, which the owner claimed could run down and kill any wild hog in that region. One day he took dogs and rifle and went for a nice little one. just right fnr the oven. He had not gone far before he fouud a large band of hogs, and turned his dogs loose on them. No sooner had they started when out of the tules near by jumped an enormous boar, a monster, who, with mouth wide open, paying no attention to the dogs, mado for the liunter. The latter drew up his rifle and fired, but on eaine the ljoar, the dogs nipping him at every Jump. The hunter fired a second shot, but on eaine the beast. The hunter turned and ran for a mosquito tree a few yards distant the hog close to his heels.

He dropped his gun and jumped for life, grasping a limb of the tree just as the hog grabbed his pants and tore onehalf of them from him, but he was safe, just out of reach. The dogs all this while ran grabbing the hog by the hind legs, to which the beast paid no attention. The mad boar seized the bark of the tree in his great tusks and tore it into shreds. Finally he turned upon tho dogs, instantly killed mio and wounded the other so that it died soon after, lie then turned his attention to tho tree where sat the hunter. IIo guarded him until it was dark. Twice did tho man get down and try to get his rille, but his foe was on guard and drove him back up the tree. I hiring the night the boar left. Daylight camo and bo did help. The men had hardly reached the river and got in their boat when down came the old hog after them in vain pursuit.

An anecdote of tho first Napoleon is told in a story, forming part of the recollections of the two uncles of tho writer, described us

''favorites" of Napolo«m 1(1., runs as follows: Once, huuting with the emperor, they were eonsuled by him for their bad shooting, witli the assurance that the llrst Napoleon was even a worst shot than they. It seems that whenever a stag was brought to bay, it was usual to leave the animal to bo killed by Napoleon. On one occasion Napoleon could not be found, and the master of the hounds did tho business. Suddenly Napoleon arrived, and the stag was hurriedly propped up on his legs with tree boughs. The gun was handed to him and ho tired at tho stag, which, of course, fell to tho ground, while a piteous whine from a hound showed that something different from a dead stag was hit. Napoleon was completely deceived, and observed: "After all, 1 am not so bud a shot as they try to make out."

More Frills Than Comfort. "If they make my home much more attractive and comfortable.'' said Mr. Gliminerton, "I shall have to leave it altogether. They have taken there lately to making sofa and chair cushions of lovely materials, and very .soft and comfortable, which they seattor around on tho chairs and sofas, but it scorns that these arc for visitors only and to look at: they arc not for members of the family. If I forget and sit down on one of them I hear Mrs. Glimmerton or Miss (ilimmerton say: *Oh, don't do that!' and then they come aud pat it and smooth It and fix it over again, but I know that its invitation is not for me."

POINTS f- ROM THE BICYCLE.

A Revolution In Steam and Electricity May lie Drought About. For many years man lias attempted the construction of a successful road machine to Vic propelled by the rider, says the .--cieiititic American. The first signs of real success came In the application of crank propulsion to the old velocipede. The next development- was the introduction of clastic tires of India rubber. Then came tlie last tind greatest improvement, the pneumatic tiro. Meanwhile the proportions and details of the machine were constantly changing, until the wheel of to-day was evolved with its ball bearings, wherever possible, and with air-inflated tires. Where he has to propel himself, mail nuturally has done everything to facilitate the work. The principal bearings of a bicycle, all except those of the chain gearing, work on hard steel balls, running with a minimum of friction and readily adjustable for end shake. The old solid rubber tire enabled the average rider to make high speed the modern pneumatic tire adds three or four miles ail hour more to his rate. Iiut while man has effected these Improvements where his own individual exertions are concerned, does it not seem as if he had negleoted to extend his ingenuity to the horse, steam and eleotricity-propelled vehicles? An Impression that the bicycle has engrossed all the time of the constructor and inventor of improvements in vehicles is created—the carriage and the rail ear 6eem awaiting their turn.

A few solid rubber-tired carriuges still fewer pneumatic-tired vehicles, are seen upon our roads and streets. The pneumatic sulky used oil the. race track Is a side issue. Roller or ball bearings arc a rarity among carriages and on railroads. It Is unquestionablethat, if it could be done, a veritable revolution in steam and electrical transportation might be brought about by the further application of these improvements. It seems absurd to suggest a steam railroad ear on pneumatic tires. But light short cars could certainly be carried on elastic tires of some kind, which would do away with the greater part of the noise and injurious jarring of iron wheels against steel rails. The friction of car wheels Is greatly diminished by roller or ball bearings. By every improvement in the direction of preventing jarring, lightness of construction would be favored. The whole system of transporting passengers In vehicles operated by stenm or electricity is subject to radical modifications. The rail car, os now used, is open to criticism in many respects. Possibly the whole system of operating railroads may yet be changed. But it is hard to believe that*the lesson taught by the bicycle cannot be of use to the railroad engineer. Elastic tires, light construction, almost frietionless bearings, should have some place In his economy.
