It is a noticeable feature in the
 present local campaign that the
 Republican camp is n, filled with
 office seekers. Tn truth is, the best
 men, those whom the people want,
 and who will serve the people best,
 are not usually foand making stren-
 uous efforts 10 ferce their claims upon the people previous to their nomination. Ths Republican con vention meets on Saturday, Sept. 11th, and inc result of it's action, so far as individual nominations are concerned, is just as uncel tain as
 though it were two years in the future. There is simply a deter imitation among leading Republi- cans to put such 2 ticket in the field as shall comu end itself to the confidence and respect of the peo- pie, men of irreproachable charac- ter, of recognized ability and ft- ness, and whose popularity shall add strength to the ticket. No in diyidual candidate, if there be any, has any disposition 10 allow Lis per sonal desire to stand in the way of such a result. The ticket, what ever it may be, will be the result of 1he free expression of the conven- ion. uninauenced by any previous 'ffort or any wirc-pulling on the part of anxious as.irants. This is IS it should be. A ticket nomin-
 tod ia su h . n =-.- .a....ot fail o be popular and strong.

OUR NEXT DELEGATE.

In the nomination of Madison
 ". Stewart. by the Republican
 Territorial Convention, as their candidate for Delegate to Congress, the Democrats. from one end of Arizona to tlIe other, recognize that defeat awaits them. just as sure as election day rnlls around, and Grant Gary will receive q worse defeat than le did four years ago, when seeking the same office. It Is really amusing to notice in last nights Expos;tor, the way the nomination makes that paper squirm. l. takes q whole column to express its disapprobation, and t is nlainly evident that Stewart cannot count on the support of the Exposi;or. "T'hey utterly ignored the man of all their party that could do them Democratic party the most good," says the same article. It then expresses its heart felt sorrow because the Republi- cans have thrown away their chance to have the next Delegate in Con- q-ess. from Arizona. T ReDublican one. Tn oeraiing the character of the gentlemen composing the conven- ton. 1t should have stated that none of the delegates were in q beastly state of intozication, as was fhe ease ill the Democratic Territorial Convention. In its en- endeayors to show the Republicans what a mistake they made, it charges them with all the corrup- ton of the last legislature, although q majority of that body were Dem ocrats. It specifics and charges the Republican party with placing on our statute booke the Omnibus Divorce bill, and the A. c. R. R. bill. The first was introduced by the member from Yuma county, who also represented that county in the Democratic Territorial Con- vention, and the Railroad bill was introduced by the old Apostle of the Democratic party of Maricopa county. Because one of the dele gates is a federal ofice-holder, and acting Governor Gosper, was in attendance at the convention, the "appointees, and office holders and seekers, under ths fraudulent ad- ministration of R. B. Hayes, were well represented in the convention" IL forgets that its choice before the convention, whose defeat causes such lamentation, is also a federal office holder, and has an appoint ment under the fraudulent and corrupt administration of R. B. Hayes" In OFT humble opinion it is no disgrace to hold a federal appointment, aud as regards Mir. Gosper, bis wooden leg shows his love for the Union, and his efforts te preserve it in the last war, while the Democratic nominee prefxes his name with '-Col." gained by service in the confederate ranks, and great experience is claimed for him, also gained ill the Rebel Con- gress. at Richmond. and lastly, the Republicans ot Phoenix will sub init to the gross outrage" by their votes at the polls. November 2d. 1880, in favor of Stewart.

THE SOURCE OF RED RIVER.
[New Orleans Democrat. |

In 1906, three years after the ccssion
of Louisiana to the United States, an
exploring party under Capt. Sparks
entered Red river in boats, intending
to ascend as far as possible to the Pawee
country, where they would purchase
horses and proceed to the tops Of the
mountains. IT was evident from this
that they supposed Red river issued
from the mountain country. They got
as high as the great raft, where they
were met by Il Spanish force and Or
dered back, an order which, owing to
their numbers, they had to obey.
In 1919 and 1920 Col. Long, of the
United States Typographical Engineers,
on his return from an exploration OF
the Missouri and the country lying be-
tween that river and the head of the
Arkansas, undertook to descend Red
river from its source. The Colonel says:
We arrived at Il creek having west
erly course, which we took to be Il
tributary of Red river. We Travelled
the valley Of this stream several hun
dred miles, when to our disappoint-
! ment we discovered ii to be the Can
adian, Il tributary Of the Arkansas in
stead of Red river. Our horses and
men being ex hausted, it was impossible
to rctrace our steps. DIR. James, who
| accompanied COl. Long. IN ms journal
of this expedition says: "Scvcrai per-
sons have recently arrived at st. Louis
from Sante Fe, and among others Il
brother Of Capt. Shrcvc, who gives in
formation Of a large and frequcntcd
road which runs nearly due east from
this place and strikes one ofthe branches
of the Canadian. That at consider
able distance south of this point is the
big plains, which is the principal source
of Red river"
The source of Red river remained a
mystery for many years, and it was
not known until discovered by Capt.
Marcy in 1862. He left Fort Bcik.
nap May ,, 1852; struck the Little
Wichita descending that stream he
entered Red river and assembled it. On
the sixteenth he camped near the
. mouth of Cash creek, this being tho
point at which he was directed to com
, mence his exploration. June 26 the
: expedition reached the Staked Plains
! 1t was very much elevated above the
, adjoining country, with almost vcrtica

THE TEXAS AND PACIFIC.
tSt. Louis Times, lGth.1

l'ct- I-)ilS JlIflSS, lbLn.l
The construction of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad to El Paso is going for
ward with the most extraordinary en-
ergy. Tho contract entered into be-
tween Jay Gould and his associates and
the company stipulated that for and in
consideration Of $40 900 900 in first mort
gage bonds of the road, the Gould syn
dicatc, technically known AS the Texas
and Pacific Construction Company,
agree to complete the road from Fort
Worth to III Paso on or before the first
day of January, 1888. The mean dis
tancc was assumed at 100 miles, but
the surveyors and engineers hope to
reach there in less than G50. The iron
has been laid down and road received
to the Brazos river, about sixty miles
beyond the starting point-Fort Worth
-whilc eight or ten miles more has
been laid beyond that river. Grading
is nearly finished, and will be this
week to Eastland, between 40 and 100
miles west of Dallas. All of 300 or
$50 miles of the road has either been
actually constructed or is now being
worked upon by con tractors armed with
al! the labor and labor saving machin-
cry of modern invention. Track lay.
| ing is going ahead at the rate Of sever
miles per week, which, by the middle
of August, will be Increased to ten o
| twelve.

THE PUBLIC ROADS.

Very few people realize the great
Importance of good roads, The gener-
al impression is that road working is
an imposition. That it is Il kind of un-
necessary service imposed upon them |
by the State or police jury for the
benefit OF the public; that as the pub |
lie enjoy the use of tho roads they have |
no individual interest in keeping them
in repair. In this they are very much !
mistaken. 1t is an advantage to all
classes of persons to have good, passable
roads. Wewant good roads, it matters
not how we travel whether in q wagon
or buggy, on horseback or on foot.
One will say, "I should not be forced
to work the road because I own no
wagon, buggy or horse. There is Mr..
"a who owns several wagons, a fine
| buggy and horse but because he is
over forty-five years Of age he is not
forced to work on the public highway"
This man forgets that Mr.. A has
worked the road for twenty.seven years,
and that when he works tho same
length OF time he will be road free.
This limit of the law is just and cqui-
table-atfects all alike. 4
There is no one thing that will at
| tract the eye of a traveller more readily
than the condition of the public high
way. If they arc good, smooth and
| well kept, he knows that the inilabf-
tants are industrious, cnterprising and
public spirited, and will feel inclined
to locate among them. But if they are
! not in good condition he has the con-
trary opinion and passes on.
Our people want immigration. They
want the waste places In Webster filed
up with Industrious pioneers from the
East. They want our great forests to
| wilt away before the woodman's axe
! and cities, churches and wide fields of
snowy cotton or waving corn to take
| its place. They want the busy hum
of industry and enterprise to be heard
! throughout the parish. There Is no one
thing that will have greater ten
dcncy to bring this about than good,
! well worked roads. Let the police
jury tho overseers and the whole pco-
pie do their duty, and the hopes of the
most sanguine will be realized. We
may look forward to tho future of
Webster with pride and admiration.-

tance to remove Gen. Hardee from the
troops he had commanded SO long and
whose confidence he was known so

taNce to remove Gen. HarOee from the
troops he had commanded SO long and
whose confidence he was known so
fully to possess.
The assignment of Gen. Hardee to
an independent and important COM
mand, which was simultaneous with
his being relieved from duty with the
Army of the Tennessee, sufficiently
evinces that my confidence in him had
not been impaired, and his conduct in
that separate command fully justified
the opinion l continued to entertain.
In this connection it may be appro-
pirate to furnish you with an extract
from letter written by me to Gen.
Beauregard on the fourth of February,
1864 period late in the course of the
campaign through Eastern Georgia and
South Carolina, and long after the
events to which you refer: "You will
assume command of all the forces in
the district as defined before your de-
parture to the West, and, should you
deem it advisable, will direct Gen.
Hardee to assume the command of his
old corps when it arrives and add to it
any other forces which may be adj
'vantageously associated with it."
Thus it appears that in the hour of our
direst need I not only turned to Gen.
Hardee as a soldier and n patriot, but
expected of him, ut the head of his
old corps, to exhibit the steady courage
our necessities required, and that the
veteran corps under his command
would emulate the deeds which had
won for him the honorable soubriquet
of cold Reliable" With deep re-
gret for the necessity that has occa-
stoned it 1 have endeavored to answer
your inquiries SO as to put finally at
rest the supposition which any may
entertain that Gen. Hardee at any
period Of his life had lost either my
confidence or esteem.
Respectfully aud truly yours, r-a.

is a cemetery, in which buriats are
no longer made. II contains about a
dozen marble headstones, and many
graves without headstones. Some have
foot boards, from which the white paint
has been washed off by the rains of
many seasons. On each Of these foot
boards was a number. a soldier said
these were the graves of the soldiers
who died from yellow fever years ago,
and that corresponding numbers would
be found in book at headquarters in
which Il record of the dead soldiers had
been kept. Past this treeless cemetery
the wall runs until it meets the eight
foot wall of Castle William. The circle
of this fort is not complete. There is a
space In the rear about fifty feet wide,
closed only with an ordinary wall about
three feet thick and twenty feet high.
The fort is three stories in height, and
formerly contained four tiers Of guns,
one tier being mounted on the top.
Now there are guns only on the top
and in the second story. To mount to
the various stories the soldiers enter
one of two massive brick towers con-
tanning spiral staircases Of masonry.
These towers touch the main structure,s
but We're built independently, of it.
The fort might be knocked into ruins,
and yet the towers might remain rs a
safe way of retreat for the gunners,
while an enemy who had surprised the
fort would have to storm the inner
works up these spiral staircases. In
| the middle of the enclosure is a low
frame kitchen. In the third story are
| kept at present several military prison
ers. Two sentinels carry mllsl<ets up
and down before the prison doors,
| which open on the circular balcony.
In each casemate there are ports for
two cannon. The casemate is twenty
seven feet deep, the outer wall is eight
| feet, and the inner wall about six feet
! thick. The floor timbers that support
| the cannon above are each made up of
| four beams, each beam being foot
square, clamped together with iron.
On either side of the entrance to the
fort are two smooth faced stones set in
the wall. One bears the inscription,
"Commenced 1907" The other bears

The man that built this fort, they say
committed suicide. He got it all done
and then he found out that the righ
