TIE BOOM FOR OFFICE.

1t is an inherent right for every
man when he gets into the poll
teal world to aspire to office, and
the American is always true to
this instinct and its Evolutionary
principle, if principle it be. 1t
follows every party, and the
American people, each one in
stead of being The Roman Gin
cina tus, is daily becoming prone
to sacrafire allintegrity, manhood
and honor, 10 become politician,
even if not q successful one. The
county justice wants to be the
supreme judge; the shyster law
Yer invariably wants to go to Con.
gleSs and that class of men like
Girls Buckley are always in front
to mould the sentiment of al
honest public and control the
votes o,the working masses Oh the
people. Labor seems TO be fast
loosing its cast, as almos! every
other man in the American Re
public wants office. The stand
ard should be that the office
should seek The man and not the
man the office. We have ever
believed in civil service reform
and which we are pleased to say
has tended somewhat to clean the
dirty Augean stables of politics.
Men should be mUdestand should
not be to the front unless called
there or recommended by their
own worth and personal merit.
It is a lamenfable fact. too. that
always, every lawyer. official and
penUy-a-line writer in Arizona
Territory wants to gotO Congress.
Some of whom are better suited
to building staked and rider fen
ces than despoiling the bottom of
Congregational chair. 1t is only
hoped thit Il boom for any Of these
men will be suppressed in our
coming Territorial Conventions
and our local organizations. when
proper men may be placed In
office and not "hags" of any
party.

SCHOOL ELECTION.

According to the provisions OF
the statutes OF the last Legisla-
ture, an election will be held for
three trustees on the first Monday
in August, next 1t is the right
Of every one, irrespective of sex
TO vote. While we are not parti-
cuiarly in favor of woman's suf-
frage st elections, the Influence of
woInau's ballot casts a great in
fuence at school elections for it is
they who mould the child at
home and who should watch and
care and be its proper custodian,
and see that it is properly educa :
ted. Therefore, in this view of
the law, We trust that everybody
who is friend of education will
come TO the front, vote and place
and elect proper men as school
directors at the coming election.
Women can vote by the law,
then let them come and exercise
their preregstives. Our paper is
independent in all things, but we
have a right to suggest one pro-
position. that is, to put good men
70 the front and who have the
spirit OF educational interest at
heart

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

After q long while, in the late
appropriation bill passed in Con-
gress, for harbor and river i'm
provements, the small appropria-
tion of $4,000 has been at last
passed for the Colorado river. The
SENTINEL has at all times been
urging the passage of such a bill.
but for larger appropriation. A
bill for this purpose was intro
duced two years ago, but not by
Arizona's delegate, Curry, and
which was, however, opposed
and voted against by Cassidy, the
representative IN Congress from
Nevada. This gentleman, in his
speech before the committee upon
appropriations, forgetting or not
Knowing the geographical posi-
ton OF his representative State,
took strong grounds against any
appropriation for the benefit of
the improvement of the Colorado
river, then disclaiming that,
Nevada had any inland navigable
rivers. While the Colo RADIO wat
cred her southern border and be-
ing navigable to the mouth of
the Virgin river in Utah. 1t is
lamentable that such men, ignor-
ant of the geography and wants
OF their own State, should be
congressman. However, this
Congressman Cassidy was soon
schOoled to know that the Cnlo-
RADIO was part and a parcel of the
confines of the State of Nevada.
The appropriation will be spent
under the direction of some U S.
Army engineer, and we can rely
that it will be- utilized where it is
most needed. We shall still in
sist upon another and larger ap-
preparation and the sooner that
Arizona sends to Congress some
more competent delegate than
Curry, it will be better Tor her in
terestS.

ing information about the canal,
the wonderful, fertility of the Salt
River valley, through which it
passes, the Importance of Phenix
as a manufacturing center, and
the urgent need of railroad COM
munication in that section. The
Arizona canal has length of for
ty miles. 1t has a width at the
bottom of IS feet and is $50 feet
wide at the top. Its depth is y
and 6 feet of water. Its cost will
be about 100000. Eighty per
cent of the excavation has already
been done, and it will be compile
ted in October next. This canal
will reclaim about 100000 acres,
and in addition to furnishing
water for irrigation, it will supply
the city of Phenix with water,
A water power is also produced
which is ola large value in a ccun-
try so destitute Of fuel as that
part Of Arizona. This power is
formed by vertical drop of the
channel of fifteen feet.
This fall is nearly opposite Phe-
nix, is made in the solid rock,

is 1900 horse power. 1t will be

mills for ores and the generation

some of the uses to which this

things are estimated to be worth
the entire cost of the canal.

sage remarks OF thesubject Of Marriage

that the laws Of marriage at present were
too facile, and that hasty and clandestine
marriages we're made too easily. There
was no other relationship under heaven
which had such power to ennoble or wreck
lives. The principle Of selection should be
love. The little deceits carried on before
marriage would not work after it Man
and wife should respect the saeredness of
each others faults and shortcomings.
Nothing broke up home quicker than COM
planning to outsiders. The wife that had to
take money Of her husband was degraded
BY so doing, he had seen towards at
home who would talk to their wives as they
would not dare to any other women. be-
cause they knew there was no one to horse
whip them for it.
