Makes Mysterious illusions.

A letter from Emin Pasha, dated Bsga-
moyo, March 81, says:
"When l left the hospital, l found my
self between the English and Germans.
My decision to return to the heart of AZ
RIGA in the interest of the Germans was
soon taken when I saw the English were
endeavoring to derive advantage from the
prestige of my name. With reference to
Stanley and Tippo lib, I have intorma-
ton which if published, would create a
great sensation, Stanley will be the first

There are roads in the northwest which
could not possibly comply with the re-

either driven into bankruptcy or compelled
to suspend operations. If any legislation
is to be adopted, Mr.. Brown said, it should
be to give effect to the recommendations

Of uniting the Indians at the Pine Ridge

Appropriations too Small.

The vice-president has laid before the

in which that official urges the necessity of
larger appropriations to be expended in

"A minneapolis Maid Elopcs With Il Dusky
Lover.
John L. Adams, a barber whose place of
business is on Nicollet avenue, near the
bridge, Minneapolis, has contributed an
interesting chapter to the annals of
romance. He has eloped. His COM
panlon is a charming 17-year-o old girl.
Her name is Ida Sheihof. She has been
living with her parents on Bohemian flats
in st. Paul.
The girls mother conducts o family
laundry, in which enterprise her daughter
assisted her. Saturday evening Ida said
she was going to visit some friends in
minneapolis and promised to return Tues
day evening. She went. That is the last
her mother has seen of her. She at once
instituted a search for her daughter. It
was learned that Ida had not visited any
other girl friends in Minneapolis as she
was supposed to have done. Further in
~vestigation revealed the true facts OF
affairs.
1t seems that Adams, who is a swell
young barber, had announced in a general
way that he was going to be married on
Sunday. Adams used to call on Ida, until
the latter's mother interposed strenuous
objections. She did not relish the idea of
a niger son-in-law," as she puts it.
Adams resented this insinuation, for he Is
only an octoroon. 1t has been discov-
cred that Adams took passage for Omaha
and that he was accompanied by a girl
answering Ida's description. Adams is
given a frst-class reputation by his fellow
workmen. The girls mother has an
nounced her intention of following the
couple to Omaha.

"white Capped" the Wrong Man.

The other night a party of masked men
went to the home Of James Atwood, in
Luce township, Ind, with the intention of
white Gaping" him. Atwood heard of
their coming, and when they tried to force
an entrance to his home he opened fire
with a shotgun, most of the load taking
effect in the body of Vim. Miller, a neigh
boring farmer. Two of the others also
received a few shots, but they escaped.

A number of prominent railroad men

Dreadful Child Torture.


A shocking case of child torture is re-
up the river from Bangor. Fred Sawyer
and wife, with two little daughters, 8 and
10 years old, live in o little white frame
house on the outskirts of Oldtown. Saw
yer himself is not regarded as a particu-
larly vicious man. but his wife is a veritable

bors that the little girls we're not we'll
treated, but last week it was learned
that they we're subjected almost daily to
shocking abuse, the Oldest, Myrtle, being
especially maltreated. Several persons de-
clared that they had seen the mother take
Myrtle by the hair, pull it from her head
in handfuls and then throw her violently to
the ground, while others have seen the un-
natural woman strike the child across the
face with a club with such force as to make
her Unconscious.
Last Saturday night a mob surrounded
Sawyer's house with the expectation of
capturing him and his wife. They were
too late, the couple having got wind of
what was going on and skipped from
Bangor, leaving the children behind.
The oldest child presented a pitiful APP
pearance, her frail little body being COW
cred with cuts, sores and bruises, from
head to foot. The left wrist was broken
and the arm fractured, while the bridge of
the nose was smashed in as though by q
blow from a club. 1t was found that the
wrist and arm had been broken six weeks
before by the mother throwing the child
heavily to the ground and then kicking her

TIME TO CRY HALT.

TIE REPUBLICAN has been since it's first issue firm and strong advocate of the Maricopa county subsidy to the North and South railroad. It is so now and will continue to be so, because it believes it essentially for the best interests of the Territory and especially for the Salt River Valley. But TIE REPUBLICAN condemns as being against the interests of the Territory and this valley such lawless expressions as were given a place in the colums of the Gazette yesterday in it's article upon Col. Masten, who in his free and constitutional right sees fit to differ from us and from a ma jority of the community. It is his privilege to differ from us and to protect what he considers his rights and interests as long as he uses lawful means to do so, as much as it is our right to try to advance our in terests, even though they may injure his.
 However much TIE REPUBLICAN may differ from Colonel MasterF it has learned that he has been one of the greatest benefactOrs to this valley, and that to him and to his Maricopa and Phoenix railroad, Salt River Valley owes almost all of it's present prosperity. On this subject Friday evenings Herald truthfully says: 1.-The Southern Pacific people have, however, by the en- deavors of the Maricopa and Phoenix railroad and much solicitation on the part of the people given this val ley such rates for hay and grain that our farmers now compete successfully with California.
 To no one, more than to Col. Masten is this due. Through his energy the Southern Pacific has within the past few days offered 5000 towards building a wagon road to the Bradshaw mining district, which will, if completed, bring thousands of tons of ore through Phoenix and carry back thousands of dollars worth of supplies that are now carried from other points.
 TIE REPUBLICAN cannot in too strong terms condemn the suggestions of mob law made by the Gazette in its attack on Col. Masten. They do more harm to a community than can be done in any other way.

PEOPLE of Arizona should take up the question of the Desert Land Law and pour petitions and remonstrances into Congress in such volume that that body will be compelled to notice them. By the recent ruling of Attor- ney-General Miller all the land in Ari- zona is practically withdrawn from set. clement. This is a serious state of affairs and the people must recognize the import. ance of it. Congress should amend the matter by new laws immediately and TIE REPUBLICAN believes it will if the subject is promptly called to Congress attention. Other States and Territories are moving in this matter and Arizona should not be behind her neighbors.

THE BABY.

The little tottering baby feet
 With faltering steps and slow, With pattering echoes soft and sweet
 Into my heart they go They also go, in grimy plays, In muddy pools and dusty ways, Then through the house in trackful maze They wander to and fro. The baby hands that clasp my neck
 With touches dear to me, Are the same hands that smash and wreck The inks and foul to see: They pound the mirror with q cane, They rend the manuscript in twain, Widespread destruction they ordain
 In wasteful jubilee. The dreamy, murmring voice
 That coos its little tune, That makes my listening heart rejoice,
 Like birds in leafy June; Can wake in midnight dark and still, And all the air with bowling i'll, That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
 Like comets out of tune.

The Chinese fin New York.

lDeHVer hepuDucanI
 A short time ago the New York Epening Sun gave three columns of space to an account of Chinese girl, l6 years old, who had been held a slave and inhumanly treated by her Chinese master in the chinatown of New York city. The San Francisco ChronicL, commenting upon this, says that stories of this sort have been so frequently told in San Francisco that they have ceased to have any particular value as news. Chinese slavery and Chinese barbarism are old things on the Pacific coast.
 As our San Francisco contemporary says, the New Workers are learning their first lessons in regard to the Chi nese. We are glad that they are learn- ing these lessons, for it will do New York and all the rest of the country good. The West can send to the East no better missionaries than Chinese. Chinese tell the story of their degrada- tion and barbarism wherever they are in sufficient numbers to make what is known as Chinese quarter.
 Ii, after listening to some admirer of the Chiuese tell of how badly treated that race is by the Chinese Ecclusiod act, New York audience would make a visit to the Chinese quarter of that city, the wisdom of the exclusion act would be made apparent to each visitor. No argument in favor of Chinese immigra- ton can withstand the force of the smell which pervades every Chinatown. No man can go through the Chinese quarter of San Francisco without seeing that a large increase in the Chinese population of this country would be menace to everything in Christian civilization that white men hold dear.
 Gradually the population of the Chi nese quarter of New York is increasing. It is very far from as large as the popu- lation of San Francisco's Chinatown !; but the New York Chinatown closely resembles the Chinese quarters of San Francisco, and it only requires sufii- cient increase in its population to present all the horrible features of Chi nese civilization. With this increase in the number of the Chinese of New York City, the New York people will be forced to take the Western view of the Chinese question, and when they do that all danger of the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act will be removed.

A NUMBER of the most substantial

A NUMBER of the most substantial citizens of Phoenix are interested in a project, now assuming definite shape, for the establishment at or near the falls of the Arizona canal of frst-class milling plant. It is to be of ten stamps and be well equipped for working the ores of the vicinity. The site is an ex. cellent one. The machinery is to be moved by the finest water power in the southwest, avoiding the heavy cost of boilers and engines and the continued expense of operation by steam. The free milling ores of Winifred district are less than ten miles away and hundreds of rich prospects and mines of Cave Creek district can be reached within a radius of fifteen miles. TIE REPUBLI- CAN hopes that this proposition will be a Ego" Many are the mines of the two districts named that are but awaiting such custom mill to start into busy operation. Many poor prospector would be brought to affluence through it's means and one of the richest min- eral sections of Arizona would be given 8 wonderful stimulus.

INCONSISTENCY.

TIE REPUBLICAN has not denounced the Republican press and party of Ari- zona as traitors who are playing into the hands of the Democratic party. Neither does THE REPUBLICAN believe that any considerable number of the party in the Territory at large are SO doing
 But how inconsistent it is for self styled Republican paper to, in one issue, glory over the defeat of the il- legal Democratic holdovers-a defeat brought about by the action of the Governor and Attorney General, and then, in few subse- quent issues, abuse those officers like pickpockets because they do not sane ton the acts of the illegal holdover officials, and make themselves liable to impeachment by unlawfully paying out the Territorial funds on contracts which the courts have virtually decided were illegal and therefore void.
 TIE REPUBLICAN does not believe that ninety-nine out of every hundred Re- publicans in Arizona are set of jackanapes who do not understand the motives of the few factious spirits who are treacherously trying to give control of the Territory to the Democratic party. Let us suppose case or two and be it remembered they are not very far fetched either:
 Suppose the Chairman of the Repub- lican Territorial Committee should go out upon the streets of Phoenix and throwing up his hat howl himself into a two-weeks illness in glorying over a Democratic municipal victory. Does anybody believe that ninety-nine out of a hundred Republicans in Ari- zona would consider him loyal Republican? Would they not rather think that in common decency he should have resigned his member ship in the Territorial Committee be- fore making so public display of his treason to his party?
 Suppose again that the Chairman of the County Republican Committee in a Convention where he presides calls for a vote pledging himself and the mem bers of that convention to the support of Republican ticket and then that Chairman goes to the polls and votes the Democratic ticket, will the Republicans of Maricopa county believe him true to his party? Will they not rather believe that for honorable manhood's sake he ought to have resigned before commit ting such an act of party treason?
 As to the admission of Arizona into Statehood, the history of the past thirty years shows that the dominant party in Congress does not with any degree of alacrity admit States that will send Sem ators and Representatives to their body who are opposed to them politically. To carry Arizona for the Republican side needs the unanimous support of the Republicans of the Territory. If we fail in this the fault of keeping Arizona out of the Union lies at the door of the malcontents who are making this fac tional fight in the interests of the Demo. cratic party.

PHOENIX is one of the cheapest places in the West for domestic supplies. With the single item of clothing excepted a family can live as comfortably in this city on as little money as it can in almost any part of the Union. Meat is surely not dear at seven to twelve cents per pound, milk at five cents per quart, eggs at twelve cents per dozen and flour, vegetables, fruit and other necessaries selling at corresponding prices. As is shown by the statements of physicians published in this mornings REPUBLIC AN no more beautiful climate for children can be found anywhere on the globe. So, considering all things, the man of family makes no mistake when he set ties in PhGnix.
