 THE proposition now being inter.
 nationally agitated, having for it's
 object the ultimate colonization ot
 the negroes within certain states ol
 the Republic of Mexico, to say the
 least, iS an impracticable, absurd
 and visionary movement. That
 republic is dark" enough already,
 with its homogeneous mixture of
 nearly all races under the sun, and
 the further adniXturc of more Afr can blood into it's system, would
 rclcgate the whole mass back to it's
 original barbarous fctichiSm. How ever, the negroes, as d mass, are not going to migrate to that or any other foreign country, for we all know, particularly those having had experience with the old slave race of the south, that the negro is q domestic animal, possessing the bump of "stay-at-home" largely de- vel"ped. and hence he is preternat- uraiIy attached to home ties and associations, and from these cher ished scenes and recolIections, neither force nor persuasion never can induce him to abandon them. And furthermore, this government cannot use force. It cannot drive the negroes out from the land of their forefathers. It cannot con tract to deliver them as so many goods and chattles; for the simple the negro is a citizen of the republic, possessing all the rights, privileges and immunities incident al to such citizenship. This being the case, the negro and race problem will reman right where he and it is now.
 Undoubtedly many may migrate to Mexico, hoping thereby to ame- l iorate their condition but of the millions of blacks, not one in ten thousand will ever make such move. Behind this proposed he 5ira of blacks, are presumed to be l few would-be leaders of that race. who hope by this movement, if suc- carried out, to become po- itically great and powerful. To ;egregate all the negroes of this country, taking them out and away rom under the christian influence 'f the whites, would be simply to elegate them back to the original ocial and moral condition of their nrefathers in Africa, and this too. n less than two immediate genera ions. But as we have before said, the blacks SO well, we ,now the greater number of that '"cp'e to he so firmly attached tu heir birthplace. they would prefer Q suffer death, aye, even do so will nglv, rather than abandon it, with E traditions SO dear to the negro f Oul its old log-cabin associations nd rrcolIcctions; its coon and possum" hunts, and, as is custom ", the "hoe-down" to the music of { the old banjo" All these things nd a thousand others. are just as artain to prevent the exodus of the lacks, as that tne waters of the V Iiagara will not turn and run back. |

 T. L. Stiles, the recently elected re-

 come here voluntarily from Taco

 fully vindicated Stiles in every thing he had done.
 Senator Stewart says of our Ter ritory:
 'Arizona-I only passed through the southern po.tion-has enor- nous possibilities. The valley of the GiIa is as fertile as the Nile. Tn that section there are 10,000,00O acres that can be reclaimed, one third from the surface water alone. Arizona has about 150,00O acres in cultivation, possibly 250 miles of ditches, and one large reservoir at Walnut Grove, in the central DOT tion."
 Among the many curious pro- ducts of the Territory is the small gray Chilla seed The Indians gather it wild, in quantity, and with other edible seeds vend it from house to house. When used a small quantity Of the seed is drop ped into goblet of clear water. they when immediately burst open with curious effect, forming q thick Auid. This mixture is pleasant, cooling drink for hot weather, hay ing a mild laxitive effect. When moistened 1t is even more slippery than 1laxseed. They bring in an other smaller kind of seed which makes a delicately scented bever- age-Florencc Scientific ComDan- ion.
 The possibilities of Arizona soil, backed up by a superb climate, is wonderful. This year Capt. Noon raised fine crop of potatoes on a patch of ground at his place in the part of town. When he had harvested his pJtato crop he planted the ground to sweet corn and after that had been harvested seeded the same ground to oats. This week he harvested the oats Ihe third crop on that piece of ground. The oat stalks measure upward of three feet, are well de- veloped and nicely headed. If we Ire not mistaken these three crops were raised with comparatively lit ,le irrigation during the season.

\ Serious Accident to the A. & P.
 Railroad Company,

Since its original construction
 the right of way and two streaks
 of rust" has not met with such q
 fateiul accident by the loss of Judge | Barnes.
 The President has appointed a
 young gentleman, of excellent at.
 talnments as lawyer a member ol the present council, and a man whose high standard of integrity is generally admitted to all, to fill the place of Barnes on the Supreme Territorial Bench. Though Dem ocrat we rejoice at the change, and offer our cOnd0lence to the Atlantic and Pacific folks, for we have heard. tbat Barnes had undertaken the contract to deliver the railroad from all of it's tax troubles. He partial ly carried out his contract at the last meeting of the supreme court. for which the people of this county will never forget him.
 Now that he has taken a back seat, no more grand juries will have to ask for the intervention of the Attorney General to prevent his protection of robbers from indict- ment, and the people of Apache county are bpOyed up with the strong conviction, that the gentle man who now compose the court. will promptly decide that the tax b;lker will have to pay up, as the good man does, to support the coun- ty government. We would like Barnes to put himself up for dele gate to congress, and we promise him just eleven votes in the banner Democratic county of the Territory. 1

LET'S TO SUPPER COME.
Antony and Cleopatra.
Opossums and Pawpaws the De-
light OF the Senator ial Palate.

Senator Marcus johnson has been no.
ticeably preoccupied during the past
ten days, and the general opinion of
the senators is that he was framing a
bill. This is laborious work to many
senators, and by fair proportion OF
legislators is left to the committee
clerks. Senator johnson is averse to
this kind of thing, and. though there is
no documentary proof, he is reported to
be the author of the following unique
piece of legislation:
A bill for an act to regulate OpOsSum
suppers.
Association Hospital board or other be-
nevolent association to hold any fair OF
festival in the state of Minnesota, eX-
cept as hereinafter provided.
Sec. 2. When any association, church,
hospital board or other benevolent as

val for the purpose of raising money for

ton or board shall prepare in the most
approved manner for the supper Suf-
fcient number of OposSums to give
each person present taste Of the same.
Sec. 5. For the purpose of providing
the necessary supply of opOssums for
the suppers provided for in Section 2 of
this act, there is hereby set aside one
township of land known as the State
capitol lands in Kandiyohi county,
which shall be planted with persimmon
trees, paW-paW bushes, hazle brush and
holly trees tor the use and advance of
the opossums, and the said lands shall
be stocked with opossums, and all ami
mails inimical of the Opossum shall be
excluded from the same.
Sec. 4. There shall be appointed an
opossum warden, who shall hold his
Office during the pleasure of the lieuten-
ant governor, whose duty it shall be to
protect the opossum preserve, and
who shall also determine what OpoS
sums are ripe and may be slaughtered
for use.
Sec. 5. In order to protect parties
who may desire to attend such opoS-
sum suppers as are provided for i'll this
act, so that no sly coon, or grounding,
badger OF any other animal be substi-
tuted for opossum, each and every OPP
ossum shall be roasted whole, and the
tail shall not go with the head, but be
upon the carcass when cooked.
Sec. 6. Any one convicted of vi0lat-
ing the provisions of this act shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
being convicted thereof shall be COM
PEELED to eat a supper of skunk, and
Shall stand committed to the county Jail
until the fine is paid, OF words to that
effect.
Sec. Z. This act shall take effect from
and after its passage.
The bill, when introduced, will no

The Object of the Scheffer Bill in
Purifying Elections.

San act to secure more fully the in
dependence of electors at public cleo
tions; to enforce the secrecy of the bal
lot, and to provide for the printing and
distribution of ballots at public eX-
pense."
Thus runs the title of a bill intro
duced by Senator Schetfer, who, in
speaking of it, said:
sit is substantially the bill before the
legislature Of New York, known as the
Sexton bill. 1t Incorporates the main
features of the so-called Australian or
European system of voting, and in the
East has received the support of Repub-
ocratic party and the Republican party
of this state at their last conventions in
dOrsed the system. The principal feat
ures are that no ballot cannot be OBJ
tanned by a voter, except from the
hands of two ballot clerks representing
the two great political parties. These
clerks have to sign their names to the
ballot paper, and secret receptacle is
provided for the voter to record his ballot,
which is done by marking cross oppo-
site to the name of the candidate
he favors. No one will be allowed to
do any electioneering within 100 feet of
the polls, and no one will have the right
to ask a voter how he votes. The secre-
tary of state will furnish the ballot
tickets for the state; the county auditor
those for the county. Conventions of
all political parties are provided for, as
hitherto. but proviso is made that
upon the requisition of 1900 inhabi-
tants of the state, the secretary of state
will place the name of any candidate
upon the state ticket.
This kills off the political machine"
added the genial legislator. ut kills
off those political hangers-on and the

their mess of pOttage for cash or prom

bill will agree with Senator Scheffer:

of this fact: The forestry bounty for
trees planted on highways must be re-
