AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

The valuable discoveries that are con- tinually being made in Arizona prove that the wealth of the territory is boundless. All that is needed is money to develop it's wonderful resources, and Arizona will not take back seat for any df them. A recent issue of the JournalsMiRsr says:
 The discovery which promises to prove not only of great importance to Arizona but to Southern California as well, has recently been made near Pres colt Junction by J. J. Clark, who is in- terested in the stone quarry now being operated there. MT. Clark has had con siderable experience in practical nm ing besides having made study of mineralogy. While prospecting the quarry, he discovered numerous fossils of fish and shells covering the surface of the ground. On digging down below the surface he discovered that the en- tire country for considerable distance was capped with phosphates. He sent samples oi 1t to Los Angeles for analysis, the result vas that it proved to contain from twenty-five to iorty-iive per cent. of phosphoric acid. There is capping of it varying from five to fifteen feet Tn depth. As phosphates are the most de- sirable fcrtaizer for fruit trees partcu. larly, and as Southern California has already been brought face to face with the question of securing a iertalizer, the discovery IS very timely one.
 Mir. Clark and II. Mulvenon have made number of locations of what is consdeyed the richest claims in the vicinity, and California parties are al- ready interested in the enterprise and will ship two or three car loads per day to San Bernadino or Los Angeles to be pulverzed and prepared for market. The experiment will be watched with interest.

JoHN SHARP, bishop of the Mormon Church, died in Salt Lake yesterday. Sharp was an old resident of Utah,
 where he arrived in lS5). His Scottish shrewdness, force and thrift made him
 leader in both the church and busi- ness community. When the Union Pacific Road approached Utah he took contracts and built some of the most difficult sections through the mountains
 He became largely interested in rail- road enterprises, and to degree his business interests overcame his Mormon. ism. When the crusade against polyg. amy was begun, Sharp gave in his ad. hesion to the law of the land. His rail road and other business undertakings were to) important to be sacrificed to a church tenet. He preferred liberty and fortune to orthodoxy and prison cell. So far as known he obeyed the law in good faith, without renouncing his private opinion regard ing Mormonism.

Renting Flowers for Funerals.

What an ideal Bless you, florists are bad enough, but they have not yet stopped so low as to hire out flowers for funerals" Thus spoke Fifth avenue dealer in fancy nosegays the other day.

 "Yes, aud to the churches on special occasions; but leaning flowers for flu neral, why, it is simply preposterous"
 "lt is said to be done every day in this city"
 Yes, there are dealers in artificial flowers who do that business. but not florists"
 Twisted the largest artificial flower and foliage concern in the city.
 "A great many poor people," said a member of the firm, "order potted flowers and tropical plants of us for funerals. We charge 10 per cent. for their use, and in many instances the flowers might better have been purchased out and out. Take our foliage bouquets, composed of begonias, colens, geraniums and ivy they come cheap, and it is poor economy to hire them. But people of small means like the immediate saving, and the long run is not taken into account For church funerals we sell large quantities of chrys- anrhemums, roses, tiger and calla lilies, hyacinths, etc Natural flowers are some times represented on the same altar, and it is impossible to tell which is which.

TIE agreement recently reached be- tween the Government Commission and the Cherokees provides for the transfer of the strip and all claims which tine Cherokees may have to any lands west of 07 deg. The consideration is $S ,595,- 736 l2i1, probably about $l.25 an acre, although the quantity of land is not exactly defined. Those Cherokees who desire to remain upon the strip will be entitled 10 take eighty acres each in sev- crafty. This closes long contention in a manner fair to all parties. The Chero- kees never had iee-simple title to the strip, but certain possessory rights which had money value. Had they persisted in their refusal to sell, the pressure of settlement would have vrtu- ally crowded them out. The great offers said to have been made to them by cattlemen were probably never reduced to a cash basis. The cattlemen probably knew that they could not get valid title, but they wanted to head off settlers and strengthen the Cherokees m their demands upon the Government, while in the meantime the strip would be open for grazing. Now big movement of settlers may be looked for as soon as all formalties are concluded and the strip legally thrown open. The proba- bilty is that the newly opened territory will be joined to Oklahoma and that a new State will be admitted to the Union possibly at the present session, according to some speculations recently made on that sub ect.

A MISSOURI PREACHER.

The defeat in the Kansas senate of Mr..
Carroll's bill to abolish the metropolitan
DO ice commission of Deavenworth and
Wichita does not look much as If prohl-
bition was on the decline in Kansas
Kansas City Star.
As extreme notions and impractical
men get their grip on a community, OF
state money draws out for its own safety
leaving enterprise less than a collapsed
bladder. Kansas, under the prohibition
law, the Alliance and woman suffrage
combined, will not in month or even
in year, entirely despair. The ele-
ments that have inspired her brightness
will for time hope and heroically strug-
gle, but in the end they will seek new
fields or subside, and the end of a hun
dred years will find the state in all
things material less than it would have
been at the expiration of half that time,
otherwise.
The hope, the only hope left to Kansas
in the present emergency Is the state
senate. That body may be thought a
frail reed on which to lean, but frail as
it is, it is all that is available at this
Juncture. The fear is that before the
petty ambitions of its individual mem
bers all barriers may be thrown down
and every stronghold abandoned to the
Ignorant and inexperienced enemy.

DIVORCES NOT INCREASING.
From the New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
1T is a mistaken impression" said a
lawyer acquaintance recently, THAT the
number of divorces granted in this city
has greatly increased during the past
few wears, The fact is that the number
is surprisingly small when the large in
crease in population is taken into ac-
count. The prominence given to divorce
suits by the newspapers has led most of
their readers to believe that there is q
craze among unhappily welded couples
to have the marriage tie dissolved. They
should remember that in every case of
marital unhappiness, no matter how I'M
interesting the personality of the parties
may be, there are always circumstances
connected with it which, when ski fully
written up, make attractive reading.
During the past year there were not
more than 45O divorce DEGREES granted.
though fully three times that number
were applied for.
1.-The divorce laws in this state are
very strict. and husbands and wives
seeking marital freedom must show the
most cOnvlnc ng reasons, supported by
undeniable proof, before the asked for
relief Is granted. For this reason, in al
dtion to the fact that it costs consider
able money to get a divorce, many such
proceedings are dropped while in the
preliminary stages. These difficulties
enable divorce sharks. like Buttner and
Hughe-, now in Sing Sing, to obtain con
fiding clients by their promises To secure
a divorce cheaply and speedily. In spite
of this believe that the strict laws of
the state are a benefit. Dissatisfied
couples are aware that they cannot get
divorce except through the expenditure
of considerable money and for The most
serious reasons"

This is Rich.

From the New York Press.
The most jovial boarder in the house Of
Mrs. Margaret Dusen, in Bank street,
Newark, was Theodore Edmond. He
objected to the table set by his landlady,
and made up his mind 70 teach her a
lesson in generosity. He secured a
monograph and bribed the cook in the
house to turn it ON when her mistress
was in the kitchen.
Last Sunday the photograph was
turned on for the pleasure of Mrs. Dusen
and her boarders. She did not like the
joke. and caused Edmond's arrest on a
charge of conspiracy and defamation of
character. In Justice Biauvelt's court
yesterday this is what the monograph
claimed was a rehash of the boarding
keepers conversation with her cook;
MARY, YOU don't want TO pay over =
cents pound for meat, anyhow; it is
good enough for them, and you can get
it on Mulberry street for that. You are
giving too big pieces of steak, notice,
too. Let EN- eat more vegetables. Yester-
day you bought fresh pie. How often
have / told you to save cents on EN-
by getting them stale and warming tn IN
up. Here on the bill is % cents a pound
for coffee; 10 cent will hereafter.
I've got enough trouble without feeding
these men on s. a week on porterhouse
steak" Justice Blauvelt viii further

PETER A PAINFUL SPECTACLE.

Murat Halsfead takes occasion to deny
that he rejoices in the defeat of ingalls,
because the Kansas senator voted against
the confirmation of Mr. Halstead for the
German mission. He says: ut grieves
me to think that my friends believe me
capable of so small a sentiment. A
crank in the seat of Mr.. Ingalls, is to me
painful spectacle
While it is not denied that Mr. PETER
became the misrepresentation of Kansas
through the pigheadedness of self-con-
stituted guardians of the Republican
party of the state, there was no demand
for his making an unreasonable inter-
regnum of himself and humiliating the
state by fool speech. He could have
helped himself, helped the cause of good
government, maintained a respect for
the men who in an oath-bound caucus
rewarded him for months of demogogy
and yet not brought the blush of shame
to the people of state who surely owe
him nothing. But he driveled. In his
i'll disguised hope that the Alliance
might hold the Republican party while
the Democrats licked it ne stopped over
with droOl. To Mr.. Halstead is due the
thanks of the people of Kansas.

FOOLS OR BooDLERs, WHICH,

Kansas has hardly a single commercial
interest that has not been dominated by
a Missouri town for years. The sweat
and toll and brain of Kansas, of all her
enterprsing but impecunious citizens
have gone TO pile up fabulous fortunes
in the hands of the jobDers and manipu-
lators of Kansas City. We have not had
or produced a single commodity that
they have not graded, priced and tolled.
They have taken everything, including
hogs. grain, cattle, and per force of the
advantages thus gained have crowded
their ''dicker in trade" back upon us.
and held our banks largely at their
mercy. The packing and elevator inter-
ests of Atchison have been stolen by
that Missouri town; the shipping
and jobbing interests of Leavenworth
have been transferred to that town, and
the former wholesale trade of Lawrence
can also be found there. Now, when,
after years Of further struggle and devel-
opment Kansas again attempts to get
back something of that which was hers
originally, when she is attempting to
build up jobbing and manufacturing
points and to foster and develop live
stock and grain markets, at home, with
in her own borders. in the hands of her
own citizens, and it is a struggle and
against great odds,-the so-called repre-
sentatives of the people, assembled as a
lawmaking power at Topeka. with a
yell of apparent delight, introduce bills
TO embarass and discourage every such
interest and, if possible, drive them be-
yond the state and into the hands of
men who can fleece and defraud without
let or hindrance.
Kansas has one particular, pecu-
liar and great interest, which
was discovered bv chance, that
of SALT in which, if let alone. she
can soon down the world in competition.
The wonder is that some bill has not
been introduced to bleed. cramp and
render Improbable that interest also.
gust as they are trying to pass a bin TO
Kill the new live stock markets I'm the
state. and just as they have in the past
discouraged grain dealers. There is. or
there seems TO be to us. but one or two
explanations to this spirit The bills are
the work of either fools or boodlers. The
excuse that these things are all done in
the interest of the farmer is the merest
clap-trap. There is not a man in the
state outside of the walls of the insane
asylums that does not know that nobody
is so directly interested in the making of
a home market as the farmer, who has
the whole world of markets to fall back
upon the minute that he finds he can't
do better at his home market than in
any other.
