ARMY SIGNALS.

The annual photographic experiments by the American army have just been concluded, and have excelled any of the past. In the clear climate of Arizona some wonderful signaling has been done, the distance from Mount Reno to Mount Graham, one hundred and twenty-five miles, having been covered by ajsingle flash. The greatest distance covered was from Fort Whipple, near Prescott, in this Territory, to Fort Stanton, New Mexico, distance of more than thousand miles. This was, of course, accomplished only by a thor ough system of stations, in the su- pervision of which Gen. Greedy, chief of the United States Signal Service, took part.
 Men who served in the campaigns of the rebellion and had any responsi- bility in the movement of troops will understand the importance of this branch of the service, to which much attention has recently been paid. Starting from any point in Texas, for instance, the daily or hourly movements of a marching column could be flashed acrosss the country to friend or foes on the Pacific. The telegraph is obsolete; {; the soldier harnesses the sun, as the electrician has the lightning.
 The soldiers and sailors of America make less noise than do those of foreign armies, but in nothing that renders the army and the navy effective does any foreign power excel the United States.

WHAT IS AN ORGAN?

The Herald of last evening refers to TIE REPUBLICAN as an "organ," and in mysterious way alludes to "a boss" who hopes to be United States Senator. As rule we shall ignore cowardly in- nuendo like this, but at present it suits us to take it up.
 In the first place what constitutes an organ? As we understand it, it is a newspaper truculently following the lead of an individual, without reference to right or principle. A thing of type that will assume the collar of an indi- vidual, for pelf, and deserting party and principle promulgate the edicts and de- sires of such individual Such paper is, as rule, neither fish nor fowl, neither Republican nor Democratic, sat tisfying to no one, not even to the crea- ture who runs and sells it, and thoroughly useless to him who buys it..
 IF the Herald thinks TIE REPUBLICAN is paper of that class, it is mistaken when it says so, by direction or indirec- tion, it lies. This journal is Republican in politics. It believes in the principles of that party and it will take pleasure in promulgating and disseminating those principles. Firm in the belief that the teachings of the party are cal culated to best advance the interests of the people, THE REPUBLICAN will stand by it's representative, whoever they may be and in whatsoever capacity they may be found, unless they shall be found unworthy and disreputable.
 If Republican paper like that is an organ, then TIE REPUBLICAN is an organ, and is proud of it. But--what is tine Herald

TIE United States Supreme Court yesterday gave the final blow to Mor- monism, though the Democratic justices dissented. This decision wipes out all the property of the church at Salt Lake and reduces the power and influence of the church to the minimum. The court seems to have recognized the fact that the money and all the resources of the church have in the past been used to corrupt Congress, legislatures, Courts and the press in the interest of the organization. This power is wiped out at one blow, but the subsidized press will probably continue to receive it's monthly stipend.

TIE REPUBLICAN is not opposed to statehood. Indeed, it favors the pro- position, but it's managers have lived at headquarters in Washington and realize that it's own and the mental pabulum of it's contemporaries has just as much in- fluence on Congress as the contribution of the old lady had on the sea. An Arizona newspaper, even the best of them--aye, an Arizona delegate in Congress, even are very small things in Washington. Population, money and effort alone tell in Washington.

He GOT HIS REWARD.

Hicks in Jail at Charleston, but For
rest Still on the Road.
Some time ago Detective Wetherhorn
arrested Phillip Hicks (colored, a partner
Of the notorious Jim Forrest colored), and
Hicks was delivered to the authorities in
Charleston, where he was wanted for bur
glary. AT the time of the arrest of Hicks,
Forrest drew his revolver and fired at De-
tective Wetherhorn, who returned the fire,
and it is believed he hit Forrest in the
shoulder, but in the excitement and dark
ness Forrest made his escape. He is wanted
at Charleston, and also at Brunswick,
Augusta and Macon for numerous bur
glaries.
At the time Detective Wetherhorn ar
rested Hicks he took from the person of the
latter fine gold watch, which afterward
proved to be the property Of a gentleman
by the name of John B. Wheeler, a railway
conductor. Chief Hood, Of the Augusta
police force, wrote to Officer Basch Of the
city detective force, making inquiries for a
gold watch which answered the de-
seription of that taken from Hicks by
Detective Wetherhorn, and the watch was
sent to Mr. Wheeler, who has since paid
the reward to Detective Wetherhorn.
Fifty dollars in money and some clothing
were stolen at the same time from Mr.
Wheeler, from his room in the Adkins
house in Augusta, last July, but at the
time of Hicks arrest he had managed to
get away with the money, so that it has not
been recovered

nah Port Society. They are by no means
complete, but the available funds have been
entirely exhausted, and nothing more can
be done until other funds are raised.

it has been decided to give e concert some
time next month TO raise funds to help pay
for IL and to assist in further fitting up the

take place, and it is hoped that it will be
literally patronized.

earnestly solicited, and if there are any
who are regular subscribers to illustrated
papers, or any weekly or monthly papers,
they are earnestly requested. If possible, to
send them to the reading rooms when they
have no further use for them.
