The Bancroft company, Auditoriumbuilding. Chicago, are engaged in awork deserving of more than passingnotice. It is tbe reproduction in book

form in the highest Btyle of art, of theentire exposition. In the Book f theFair, as tbe work is called, the greatpanorama will move from the pi.st tothe preterit, in logical and historicalorder. The reader will observe howthe foundation upou which previousfairs were built gradually broadened,and like 6ome magical plant he will eethe unfolding of the ideas which are atthe base of the Columbian Exposition.Having introduced this latest and great-est of the world's fairs, the book will

'traoe its evolutU n in all details, willshow how it was built, and who were itschiefs found re, and then picture it netonly m its gereral but in its specialfeatures. In the evolution cf the treadfoundation upon which the fair is esta-

blished, in the creation cf tbe fair itself,and in the presentation of the gorgeousand the bewildering spectacle which iscow before us, the pencil of : he artistand the pen of the author will be complementary, each assisting the other.

THE BELL ASSESSMENT LiW.A month ago Congressman John C.

Bell, author of the Bell assessmeat law.wrote the press stating that he was inreceipt of many letters asking an retention of eai i law for the year 1891. Tothese letters be made tbe followingreply with request for all papers inmining communities to copy.

The original bill last year providedfor 1893 and 1891. The provision extending it to 1891 met with great opposi-

tion, as it was said that numerous goldmining claims were being located tbeassessments npon which would be duein 1891, acd as gold had not fallen therewould be no reason for favors on goldclaims and, therefore, in order to insurethe passage of the act for 1S93 1 wentbefore the committee and had 1891

stricken out.It would ba practically impossible to

separate the gold claims from the silverclaims in any statute.

"I will Bubmit your proposition to theminers, and if they, or a majority ofthem, desire an extention I will press itagain though I am afraid that it wiU bea little difficult now to accomplish anextension.

I wish all miners, prospectors acdminers' unions would take up this mat-

ter and decide for themselves whether itwill be of the greatest good to the great-est number of extend for this year theact referred to and let me know as earlyas possible."

To what base uses may we not be-

come, Horatio?- - To what base uses maysot the patronage of this great govern-

ment become in the hands of the pres-

ent democratic administration? It is anotorious fact that Thomas Campbell,the restaurant keeper of the customhouse in Washington, is likely to havehis privilege revoked. It includes freerent, free ga nd free fuel, acd is saidto be worth many thousand dollars ayear. The administration authoritiesare incensed because of the ingratitudeof Timothy J. Campbell, the brother ofthe restaurant keeper, in voting againstthe Wils)u tariff bill, and want to be-

stow the privilege on a Cleveland fol-

lower. It is 6aid that tbe Hon. Timothygot the privilege away from a republi-can on the express understanding thathe was to vote for the democratic tariff.Not oaly did he secure the privilege,he had customs officials turned cut oftheir rooms eo as to increase the capaci-

ty oft te restaurant, and he also Ladthe government paicters, under Super-intendent Harlow, paint acd decorate

the rooms and put th-- in an elaboratecondition at tha expense of the treas-ury. Evidently the highly moral ea- -

The Star's "Caught in the Corridors"in its issue of yesterday, had an adverse

and

criticism cf Bn article which recentlyappeared in tbe San Francisco C ll. inthe sublimity and grandeur of V na-

tural wonders of Saluco Canyco. Thedraft through the cori.iors wa9 pariicularly severe on the writ r of the arti-

cle in question, acd cLaracteriz-- d l imas a ''space man who bed nev. r been iuArizona." We marvel much thtt theStar would lend itself to such icfbit dgush, for whatever may have been theconception by the Call writer of the na-

tural bf auties of Sibino canyon the cor-

ridors, in attempting to belittle ir, outdid it in all the grossn' 68 of exaggeration. George Roskruge, chief clerk inthe office of the surveyor general, whosurveyed for a pips line from the mouthof the canyon to Tucson, is authorityfor the statement that a furrow can beploujh'd the entire distance and waterwill flow through it. The descriptiveaiticle in the Call was written by W. A

seeker here, but he sketched acdit far into the interior, and

hia pen was equal to the occasion whenhe attempted to describe the glories hehad seen.

Flagstaff complains about a hognuisance and Tucson complains about adog nuisance. As the hot weathercoraes on apace it is high time to abateboth.

It appears from the dispatches thatFlagstaff is t3 get tbe Lowell observa-tory. If they have a better climatethan we have they are entitled to it.We did the best we could to locate itin this direction and if the town failedto make a winnirg, it wa3 through nofault of theirs.

Whis Senator Ilill entered bis fa-

mous protect against tbe Wilson bill, hewas warmly commended for his notionby the legislature of his state. Thisspontaneous endorsement raised the cryfrom the administration organs that theNew York legislature wa9 republican.This i3 true so far as a majority of thelegislature is concerned, but the totalrepublican majority is but fourteen inthe assembly, and the vote of commen-dation stood in that body 102 in favorto ttiree against it Ti tea figures show

that at least forty democrats voted forthe resolution, and demonstrates thatSeoator Ilill voiced the sentiment oftb? people of his great 6tate when he eoscathingly arr&ioged the foreign policyof the present administration tnd itstar:ff tinkering proclivities.

The Phoenix Gun club has it6ued acall for a territorial match, at clay birds,ia that city on May 1. A gold badgethat will carry with it the championshipof Arizona will be struggled for by thecompeting teams, tiut tms test ol ekuiin tuarkmnnship is cot, however, thesole object of the meeting. The prcjec-tor- s

have in view the permanent organ-

ization of a territorial gamy protectiveassociation. This is a most meritoriousproposition acd will undoubtedly meetwith the cordial approval and supportof every true sportsman in Arizona.Through a misunderstanding betweenthe two clubs the Tucson Gun club haddecided to take no part in the Phoenixmeeticg, but considering the good workto ba accomplished by a general comingtogether of the Eeteral clubs of the ter-

ritory, a more rensible determinationhas been reached and Tucson wiil sendhar iepiesectatives. This conclusionwas reached at a meeting of tbe Gunclub last evening. An adjournment washad till tomorrow evening, when theclub will again met and final arrtinge-m?nt- s

will be made. We have faith inthe efficiency of the Tucson club andcommend them for tbeir good inten-

tions. We not only believe that theywill win the badge but in their abilityto defend and keep it when once it isin their possession. A call has beeniesued for a fell attendance at the adjourned meeting tomorrow evening, andwe hope for a full attendance thereat.

TREE-TRAD- E EDUCATION.The republican and the democratic

The lesson of 1893 closes with thishandwriting on the blackboard:

THE REPUBLICAN ODTLOOK.The Hon. Thonras H. Carter, chair

man ol tne rer ub scan natio-&- I committee, dis3uae3 "The Republ'can Outlojk" iu the April cumber of the NorthAmerican Iteview, giving a compactli!8'xry of the record of the party fromthe begitcicg of its career, contrastingits r ign of ui exampled prosperity withtbe periods when it hss been set asideand eUtii g the conditions which led tothe oarty being turned down. Thebearing of the well known factor, i

gli;tof prosperity, he thus refers to"Irdividml prcsperity began to beregarded only in a relative senee. Thelaborer whose daily WHge wts greater,both cominaly et d in purchase g power,tht;n tbe eum earned in like employmeet iu any other country, becamediea;6'i'' b cuase his employer seemedmore prosperous then himself.

The Ir.rgest apparent accumula- -

t ons of wecltb sufficed to breed envyand discontent among prosperous peoplewhose situations, wnue felicitous inthemselves, became unsati-factor-

because suffering by comparison."Protection and free trade have their

records tcanned, as also tbe populitt,and other injected part es as factors inthe political situation.

This political situation has augment-ed republican strength superfluously,bo far as numerical force for electivepurposes is concerned, or as Mr. Cartersavs: "Existicg conditions 'seem toguarantee a more radical change intne popular vole man republican ne-

cessities require. Thetrrcd of publicsentiment is very clearly disclosed bythe returns of recent elections in thestates of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,Iowa, Kanea6 and elsewhere, all show-

ing phenominally large republicangains." Mr. Carter thus sums up hisargument:

In conclusion thee, republican loss inthe pan has resulted from the abate-ment of party entbu-ias- through theelimination of sent iment, personal disap-pointments resulting from the frictionitcidctto a administra-tion, discontent and unrest born ofextraordinary prosperity, a misunder-standing between eastern and westernrepublicans as to tbe safe REd effectivenit-tho- to be employed for the restora-tion of b metaliem, the suppression byforce of the republican vote in thes.uth, tbe cohesiveness and

strength of tbev.cious elementsin the large cit es, and a misundersta'

as to the real character of the Mc-Ki"l-

law.The great work to be done ic the

future for the advancement of civiliza-tion and good government in this coun-try injures the perpetuation of republi-can su pi emacy.

Ijos Angeles, April i7. A mysteriousexplosion demolished the frame building of Miss Luise Mohr 455 to 159Spring etreet early this morning acdbadly damaged Kestnar's building shop,and the Golden Rule produce store adjoining. The concussion was like a bigcannon shot and flashed with a brilliantlight to the sky. For a half a block ineach direction from the wrecked build-ing the sidewalks were covered with de-

bris and broken glass. On the otherside of the street all the show windowswere blown to atoms.

The wrecked building was occupiedby a restaurant, cigar store and Babar-owsKy- 's

shell and jewelry store, in thelatter place in which the explosion pro-bably occurred.

Mifs Kate Schlimer, proprietress ofthe restaurant, was sleeping in a rearroom when she was awakened and foundthat the building had been blown near-ly away, but the bed and herself wereunharmed. Babaroweky claims toknow nothing about the origin of thedisaster, but he is suspected.

Many theories have been advanced.Somesay it was a can of gasoline; oth-ers that an engine was used in the sVl!store, acd others gas, but the mostplausible perns to be that dynamitemay have been nsed by safe crackers.It is believed by maoy that two bodiesare io tbe debris. The loss is about Avethousand dollars.

G. A. Men?ch, who was two blocksaway from tbe explosion, styB be saw avivid fla?h, heard he building crash,preceded by a cois ike that cf an im-

mense cannon, the .ground shook andtrembled for blocks away, acd slumber-er- s

were awake ed for a quarter of amile away. Bricks were thrown acrossthe street, k'laes was broken several honared yards away. Ihe 6treet wasthronced "nth people in a very fewminutes. Officers ba;?an a search forany one who might have been caughtin the ill fated house owing to heavytimbers and heavy roof.

Ther. i3 a mystery surrounding thewhole affair and but little could belep.rned. Babarowsky, the jeweler, wassen about ten minutes before tbe ex- -p'csicn in u neighboring saloon, and expressed as being tired and intending to go to bed. At 3 o'clock thismorning an individual, hat If 69 anddnzd, was found standing ia front othe wreck apparently t a ljes to under6tand what it all meant. A policeman found him to Isidore BabaroTeky,the proprietor of the jewelry and shellstore. He stated that jut before theexplosion he had been painting fixure?in the store, but was suddenly taksick acd went out to the rear. Wheth-er he wa in doors or not he could cotte'I, but while out there he Ml asleepend awakened a few minutes before hisrueticL' with the policeman. He couldnot remember havicg smelt gas in thestore before being taken eickin fact hedid cot seem capable of carrying on rational conversation. When questionedas to having any explosives in his storehe stated that be believed there was afive gallon can of oil in one room but hecould not recall nothing else of thatnature.
