in witty sallies and was several times ap-

PARIS, April 30.-[N New York Herald
Cable-Special to The BEE. The Washing
ton centenary was celebrated yesterday in
all the American churches of Paris. At the
Episcopal church, in the avenue DE l. Alma
the services were solemnized with great
fcrvor. There was scarcely an American
citizen in Paris yesterday who did not lift up
his voice in praise and thanksgiving for the
great benefits that have accrued to his
country. At the church for English speak.
ing Catholics, in the Avenue Hocho, the usual
masses were offered up and the number OF
communicates was very great. The chief com.
memorative service was held this afternoon
at the American church in the Rue de
Berri. The solemn proceedings were timed
to coincide with the uplifting of American
hearts in the United States. The sacred edi
flee was beautifully decorated. In the chan
Gel there were the choices. of flowers and
the majestic pulpit was covered with Amer
lean flags. Among those present were Min
lister McLane, Major Rathbone, Consul Gen.
eral Franklin, Lieutenant Murphy, Rev. DR.
and Mrs. Brown, Mr.. A. A. Anderson, DR.
Thomas Evans, DIR. Cane, Mr.. Van Bergen.
MIR. and Mrs Lequay. Mrs. Ingalls,, Rev.
Mr.. Royce and Mrs. .Thurber.

son appointing April 80 as a day OF prayer
and thanksgiving commemorative of George
Washington, the first president of the
United States DR.. Thurbcr's brief address
was very moving.
Mr.. Robert McIsane, the American minis
ter, then delivered an eloquent extempore
address from the foot of the pulpit. He said
that one hundred years had passed since
Washington enabled those who lived to-day
to form cooler and more correct Judgment,
not only of events but of the workers who
had figured in a century which had wit
messed the growth Of the American public
from period of protracted war until the
situation to-day, when the United States had
taken position amongst the nations of the
earth. The contrast was indeed great. and
the event of to-day was u harvest song of
thanksgiving. The verdict of history had
put everybody in his true place, and
especially Washington. The memory of
great men had been well defined by q mod
ern writer as the dowry of nations, and that
OF Washington must always be quoted in the
schools of the youth. He may not have had
transcendental abilities, but he had those
great gifts which go to build up great ma
tions and which had made him the glory Of
the United States ......

4. P. Taxes.

Taxpayers of these northern coun- ties and, indeed, of the entire Terri tory, are wondering why it is that the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad company does not pay taxes hon. estly due by it. The company has always collected for services to our people, forced them to protect its employees, property, etc., and yet does not contribute anything, by way of taxes, to defray expenses of government, It has claimed to be exempt from taxation, but Chief Justice Jas. H. Wright and the Supreme Court of the Territory have decided differently and every fair minded lawyer knows the decis- sions are correct. Meanwhile, the company and it's organs endeavor to educate people into thinking that the judges opinion was wrong and that Judge Hazledine, the com pany's we'll paid and able solicitor, has marched through our courts as victor Let us hope that other judges will have the manliness to do as Judge Wright has done, de- eide for the people and for the right.
 Other roads pay taxes without a murmur, but will not do so in the future if this A. P. shall much lon ger be permitted to go scot free.- Prescott Courier.

Watch this Fellow.

Special Agent Bevans failed to get away yesterday morning for the Oklahoma country, as he had in- tended. His delay proved a most unfortunate one for him, too, as, Dr. Lincoln had him arrested yesterday afternoon, on charge of using franked envelopes of the interior department for private correspon- dence, the penalty for which is a fine of $500. The correspondence in which this envelope was used was dated December, 1887. After considerable rustling, Col. Bevans induced five citizens of Prescott to go on his bonds in the sum of $4OO and the New Jersey Colonel again prepared to take his departure this morning. His trials were not yet ended, however, as he was met at the depot this morning by a prom inent democrat of the country, who had favored him with small loan about year ago, but who has since been a victim of his persecution, who demanded the payment of the money. Bevans at first refused, but on being told that he must eith- CT pay it back or take chastising there, he reluctantly went down in- to hls brooches pocket and brought forth the amount due.-Journal Miner.

have not the disposal of Federal offices, their interest in the nomina- tions will grow very small. and the genuine opinion of the districts, in- stead of the commands of thebnss- es, will have an opportunity to make itself felt. The effect of the chang ed conditions on the members them selves will be no less important. Citizens who would shrink from such contest as a Congressional campaign too often requires to-day would no longer look on the prof fered honor with this apprehension, and when elected they would have opportunity to follow the dictates of their own judgement without a certainty that every show of inde- penderce would be looked on as evidence of lack of party loyalty. The country may, in the end, be in debted a good deal to President Harrison for his nlistakes.-New York Evening Post.

New MeXicO'S Ex-Governor.

To practice law, stick type, or run ranch is the question now bother ing the brain of ex-GOvernor Ross. He retires from the executive office of New Mexico with credit to him. self, and as he never had the faculty of making money he goes out of office about as poor as when he vert in, Edmund G. Ross held the fate ofa President in his keep ing at one time, and while he saved Andrew Johnson, he destroyed his career in Kansas, rabid as a mad dog at that time, and went from the American Senate to the printers case on a country weekly. The ups and downs, and the light and shad- ows, of this old mans career would make an interesting book, and while he has once more been rele- gated from high public station to the humble walks of a poor man in private life, he carries with him a clear conscience and that philosoph- ical equanimity that never desert him in either proserity or.adversity and makes him as bland as a May morning when weaker men would be fretted into bad temper and pro- fanity. Just at present, Governor, there is no vacant case in the Optic office, but we shall consider your on file, and give you showing at the first opportunity Las Vegas Optic.

MT. J. H. Arnett brought in a bunch of oaths taken from his ranch east of Florence a few days ago, that measured seven feet in length. The average night of the crop just cut was nearly six feet Florence Enterprise.
 "Oaths" by the foot is an entire ly new wrinkle to us. Is a good strong seven foot oath better for judicial purposes, than an ordinary six-footer? And if so, how much weight is to be credited to each oath per foot? In libel suits it is likely the seven-footers would be mostly used.

IN THE light of recent grand jury work, in it's investigation of Graham county's Supervisors, it would be we'll for Governor Wolfey to recon slider the appointment of one of his Prison Commissioners. Gov erno Wolfiey cannot, in justice to himself and to his party, thrust in to public prominence men, whose private and official acts are a con- tinuous and notorious stench in the nostrils of all decent people. We say, Governor Wolfley cannot afford to do this, and it is earnestly hoped that the Governor will incontinent- ly kick out of office, any man found guilty as charged by the grand jury of Graham county.
