THE OCEAN FOu.
In II Lies the Greatest Danger to
Ocean Navigation.

Ocean Navigation.
The source of the greatest peril to
NIL ships crossing the Atlantic. and
the most dreaded py all commanders,
ID fog. The speed and size OF the
large steamers in the hands OF compe-
.ent and vigilant men are conducive in
many instances TO their safety and
were it not for this bette noire OF the
sea, ocean travellers would have little
to fear.
The Importance OF code OF marine
signals, simple in its arrangement for
use in foggy weather. cannot be too
strongly advocated. A commander
standing upon the bridge, his ship en-
veloped in dense mass OF impenetra-
BILE vapor, has but his sense OF hearing
TO depend upon, and can be guided
only by that. He stands at his post,
every nerve drawn to its highest ten
sion, listening for sounds that for
hours do not reach HIN. At last
from distance a faint whistle is
borne on the air, and he Is then in
stantly on the alert.
He strains his ear TO locate the
sound, for the fog is so dense that he
cannot see twenty yards away. Is she
q slower steamship than his own that
he is over:ai1ing. or is it one that he
Is meeting? There is nothing in that
one blast to give him any information
and he can only wait and listen. He
sounds his steamers whistle once or
twice, according as he ports or star
boards his helm, and awaits the an
swering signal. Nothing reaches his
ear but the one blast at short intervals.
He can only rely on his Judgment and,
reducing the speed, keep on the course
ne has selected.
The sound becomes clearer. The
unknown ship is approaching, and he
realizes that she is drawing nearer and
nearer; SO near that his heart is beat
Ing rapidly, and he almost holds his
breath in the intensity of his anxiety.
A dark shadowy form passes so close
ly TO him that for n moment his blood
runs cold and every pulsation ceases;
but the danger is over. she has dis.
appeared in the fog, and he can
breathe again, for his ship and all on
board are safe.
This is but one OF the thousands oil
hairbreadth escapes that have oc-
cured on the ocean which have never
been recorded and which will never be
known.-Capt. Kennedy in North
American Review.

Stone Walls Are Numerous.

l have noted places in England
where stone had been hauled consid-
cradle distance to wall up the land
excess OF fence on any farm above alb
solute requirements is nuisance, and
more certainly so on high-priced
lands. Imagine carrying out the soil
ing plan or intensive farming on these
small fields, as is often done. 1t should
be remembered that these farms are
seldom owned by the tillers and that
they have become accustomed to il
and do not realize their inconven-
fence. This is from q letter of an
American farmer written while visiting
England.

this kind OF work.

with theatrical manager. Rare old
Ben. De Bar, who was a good actor

heart to get the best OF business deal.
was often asked why he made up his
stock companies year after year with
such bad actors. For a moment the
kind-hearted old manager would seem
to be thinking IL over, and then he
would say: ''Gad, sir, somebody must
engage them, else by my faith l think
they would starved"

Conclusive Evidence.

The only conclusive evidence OF a
mans sincerity is that he gave himself
for a principle. Words, money, all
things else are comparatively easy to
give away; but when a man makes a

plain that the truth, whatever 1t be,
has taken possession OF him.

Arizona republican., 1890-11-13

cratic vote cast on Tuesday is actually less than the Democratic vote cast in the same districts two years ago, while the Republican vote in all the districts examined was very much less
 In other words, what is called the great Dem Ocratie victory in the Northern States is vic tory due to the fact that the Republicans stayed away from the polls The landslide in favor of the Democracy was only made possible through Republican apathy
 The total Congressional vote of 1890 in the states named will be found to be very much less than it was in 1888, while the Republican vote in some of the districts is reduced by one-half Why that vote was reduced it will be for the Re publican statesmen to ascertain. Democrats who have not completely lost their heads over the unexpected and overwhelming victory which they have achieved with the aid of polit ical allies of every description and the tempo rary indifference of the Republicans, are begin ming to ask themselves the question, "what shall we do with our tremendous majority in the House of Representatives."
 From the southern portions of the West comes the prompt, hearty, unanimous response of Mills, Crisp, Breckenridge, Bynum, Springer and their coadjutors and followers; Pass a tariff bill framed on radical free trade lines that is what our victory means, and we must hasten to gather its fruits"
 There can be no doubt that this demand will be enforced by Mills and his followers, since they believe that the voters of the United States have experienced a conversion from protection to free trade in the short space of two years
 This clearly indicates that neither the Republican party nor the cause of protection have been losing ground among the thinking people of the Nation. They will come to the front stronger and better prepared for battle in 1892 than they were in 1888. General Grant we'll said in 1875 that "The Demo- cratic party can always be depended upon to do the wrong thing at the right time." With their enormous majority of 132 in the Fifty-Second Congress we may conddentially expect Messrs. Mills, Breckenridge, O'Ferral, and other rampant free traders to go to such ex- tremes that they will so unsettle the business interests of the country as to disgust thinking and business men. Republicans have no reason to feel Respondent. The party, as party, has not lost in the confidence of the people {; it is only dissatisfaction at individuals in position now. Under the leadership of such a man as James G. Blaine in 1892 it will win the greatest victory since Grants second election in '72.

PLOTTING WITH THE INDIANS.

For some time the telegraph has been telling us of the excitement among the Indians of the Northwest over the re- ported coming of Messiah among them who vas to roll back the earth upon the whites, restore the buffalo, and put the Indians again in possession of all the Great West That able soldier and h. dian fighter, General Nelson A. Miles, has been making an investigation of the subject among the Sioux, Cheyennes, Blackfeet, Shoshones, and other tribes ot the Northwest. In an interview at St Paul, few days ago, ill speaking of the result of his investigations, General Miles was asked:
 "Who do you think is responsible for this imposition upon the Indians9"
 His reply was: ''I cannot state posi- lively, but it is my belief that the Mor- mons are the prime movers in it. This is not a hard statement to believe for there are 100000 Mormons and they themselves believe in prophets and spiritual intercourse, and they even now claim to hold intercourse with the spirit of Joe Smith; besides, they have had missionaries at work among the Indians for many years and have made many converts"
 General Miles was stationed in the West for many years and is thoroughly familiar with the customs and beliefs of the Mormons and with their dealings with the Indians. He is fully aware of heir habit of enlisting the aid of In-
 ians to massacre California emigrants, in the days when the Danites were the most bloOd-thirsty. And he knows well their method of work among the savages.
 At the Mormon Conference less than two months ago, President Woodruff de- clared that he had very recently held spiritual communication with the proph- cts Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Knowing the practices of the Mormons, as all people who have lived in the West for any length of time do, and knowing how they have always worked upon the superstition of the Indians, the opinion of General Miles in regard to their in- famous work seems well founded. What their object is, it is at present hard to conjecture, but surely back of it all there is some deep and well-laid plot to cause trouble to the Government.

IT is absurd to say that the Mckinley bill had anything to do with the Repub- hcan defeat November 4. The people of this country have had no opportunity to see how the Mckinley bill will operate. It has not been in effect a month, and many portions of it do not go into effect until January, while others not until July oLnext year. The defeat is due very largely to the efforts of the im- porters of foreign goods, who worked on the retail dealers of the country,an the latter on the public. Despite the sense- less popular upheayal, the Mckinley bill will be the policy of the Government for years to come, and the campaign of 1892 will be fought and won on the same lines. Mark this prediction.

THE Phoenix Herald is in error when it prints an item to the effect that the Territorial Normal School enrolment for October was over 90, and the average attendance 65, on account of sickness. The facts are that the number enrolled was 3S, and the average of attendance 96 per cent. There was no sickness, and the 4 per cent of absence was caused by the school turning out to attend the circus.
