for culinary purposes.
The wheat fields are handsomely car.
peted- with velvety green, which to
the passer-by lends skyey enchant-
ment of lOyeliuess for which farmers
anticipate good stand and fine yield
of wheat the coming year.
Farmers rejoice. No class of people

year than the farmers; and he who
lives on a farm and did not relish hi:
thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pit
with the gustO of prince, is indeed {
miserable farmer.

A Last Prayer.

Written by Helen Jackson (H. ii. four DAYS
before her death.
..- 'From the December. Century,
Father, | scarcely dare to, pray,
So clear see, now it is done.
That have wasted half my day.
And left my work but just begun:
So clear | see that things thought
Were right or harmless were IL sin;
SO clear see that have sought,
Unconscious, selfish aims TO win;
So clear see that have hurt
The souls | might have helped to save,
That have slothful been, inert.
Deaf to the calls thy leaders gave.
In outskirts Of thy kingdoms vast,
Father, the humblest spot give me;
Set me the lOwliest task thou hast,
Let me repentant work for thee

down their cribs and build greater.
The fall has been favorable in respect
to putting in wheat and harvesting
corn.

ICE CARNIVAL.

Will the small pos epidemic in Mon
treal render it impossible to hold there
the grand and gorgeous ice carniv al
which has been planned for next Win

substantial city itself, but for the

DEVOTED HUSBANDS.

1t is fact OF which Great Britain,
country especially jealous OF its repu-
tation for home lite, may justly feel
proud that no more devoted husbands
could have been found in it than the
last seven prime ministers. Peel, Rus
sell, Derby. Palmerston, Beaconsfield,
Gladstone and Salisbury all meet on
common grounds in this respect.

GONernOr E. c. Ross.

While in Santa Fe few days since we had the pleasure of calling upon Hon. E. G. Ross, the newly appoint ed Governor oi New Mexico. We found him busily engaged at his desk, pouring over voluminous correspon. denCe and business matters, at which he tolls from early morn until late at night. He finds his official duties arduous and unceasing, as his office IS thronged with constituents every day, but he dispatches business with tie air of an adept, and gives entire satisfaction to his people. Gov. Ross attends alone to every detail of his office, and holds his lease" six days in the week without tiring. We hope Arizona will be as fortunate as New Mexico in the selection of her new Governor.

WEEKLY CHAMPION.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 'S5.
NEW MExIUo's sURvEYoR-GENEnAL.

Although almost stranger to us, we join the large majority of the press of New Mexico Tn defense of Geo. w. Julian, the newly appointed Sur. veyor-General of New Mexico, from the personal attacks made upon him by the Indianapolis /onruaL. That paper makes personal attack upon MT. Julian, in which 1t is stated that one Ezra Hayes, of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, an alleged personal friend of General Julian, is organizing "deep laid plot" to grasp public domain here in the interest of an immense new cattle corporation. According to this we'll organized lie, New York banking firm and one Thompson Supposed to be Geo. w. Thompson, of Trinidad, Colo.-he of Maxwell land grant notoriety) put up the nee. essary inducement. Hayes is to use his influence with Julian to secure "pointers" on lands, and the entire combination IS to share in the bene fits.
 This scheme to iniure the reputa- tion of General Julian in his new home, has been sent out by the Asso- ciated Press, but that gentleman is so far above those engaged in the villain ous scheme, that it falls to the ground without effect. The land grabbers and thieves of New Mexico are doubt less in the plot, as the we'll known reputation of the new Surveyor-Gen- eral, who has spent SO many years in the public land service, and who is familiar with the rascailties perpetrated under past administrations, awakens in them the thought that his work of reform will ring in the ears of some of them. Gen. Julian never before heard of Ezra Hayes, and Thompson is also a myth to him. The land swindlerS of our sister territory know for what purpose Surveyor-General Julian was sent to New Mexico, and if they could succeed in crushing nim on the eve of his administration, their purpose would be accomplished. We only hope and pray that President Cleveland will give Arizona a Survey or-General like Mir. Julian.

By correspondence from an old ac- quaintance, a citizen of the national capital, we are informed that it is currently reported there that the ap- continent of new Secretary for Ari. zona will probably be given to resi- dent of Indiana, while the Governor ship will be given to a resident of Arizona. To make such appoint ments from the east is gross injustice to old residents of the Territory, par ticularly when the Chicago conven. tion recommended that appointments for the Territories should be made from residents thereof. With such candidates as John H. Marion, of Prescott, Hon. Fred Hughes, ot Tue son, and probably other old residents, who for so many years have stood the blunt of battle against the savage foes, have aided and assisted to bring or der out of chaos, OF this distant from tier, there is nothing right or just in setting such men aside and sending one unacquainted with our necessi- ties, regular Chihuahua oyster sort sort of vegetable, just to pay po- ll;ical debt of some successful Con- gressman, which, If liquidated at all, ought to be done at home.
