ly, Its nlastheeds are decorated with the royal standards of Castillo and Leon, in exact imitation of the flags which Co lumbus planted in the New World on Oct. 12, l402 The vessel is manned by an excellent crew, obtained from among the fishermen and sailors of Cadiz and San Fernando, and placed under the orders of detachment of officers of the royal navy
 At the opening of the Spanish fetes. on Aug. 3, the war vessels of all nations were at Huelva to salute the new Santa Maria on her first voyage down the river and her entrance into the Bay of Cadiz was greeted by deafening salvos. As there was almost dead calm, however. she had to be taken in tow by gunboat, which marred the representation some what. Later, however, she sailed out beautifully on the route taken by Colum- bus, and returned to receive renewed salutes. At this naval congress of na- tiOns the fact was humorously com mented on that Columbus took with him for interpreter a scholar who knew Lat ill, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Coptic and Armenian, in addition to Spanish; that this learned gentleman was failure in the New World, and that the first to master any of the Indian tongues were the most illiterate sailors. But this is an oft repeated experience.

Republican Platform.

The Republican D; rty of the Territory of Ari- zona, ln Territorial convention assembled in the city or Prescott, Drese t to their fellow cti zens the following statement of tHe tenet of tneir political faith, and ask from the voters of Arizona careful consideration of the same:
 We endorse the plaff I'm adopted by the Re- publican National con ventiOn of IS92 at Min neapOlis, as the highest expression of tbOse principles. Of government, that through the rule of the Repuh ic party have made the United States the .eatest and most prosperous NailOn on earth.
 We endorse the present National admins tratlOn ind urge its continuance in DOWer for the reason that in it's success is the only as- sursnce of the maintenance of that policy that has made the United states the leading Nation of the earth.
 We endorse the present territorial adminis- tratIon as pure, ecOnC mical and progressive. and call the attention of the citizens of Arizona to the benefits which will accrue to the terri tory by the success attending the refunding of our terrltorisl indebtedness Cnder the wise pro visions of the WOlhey Funding act
 We favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver as being demanded by the best interests of our Nation.
 We point with D idle to the general close ob- servsnce of all laws, both federal and terri torlal, and challenge a comparison with any state ID the union. and We earnestly urge ths admission of Arizona into full statehood.
 We charge the leaders of the Democratic party of Arizona with debasing the honest la- Dor of the territory by arraying aga nst it the competition of convicted crimInals-a cOmpe- titiOn that placed the cell of the felOn against
 
 taskmaster against tn dignity of men labOTing for love of home and hearthstOne-by passing duriDg the lsst legislature-in which body out of a total of thirty-six members the Democratic party had twenty seven law authorizing the leasing of the convict labor of the Territorial prison, and we ask from every -lRbOring nan a cOmparislOn between this action of the Demo- crate legislature and the action of the hepub- hcan governor in vstOing the measure,
 Recognizing that no factor in the future ds- veOpmenJ Of the west can be so potent as bet ter and cheaper railroad transportation, and realizing from the history of the past the grow ing danger to the pubic welfare of the erOr- nous power of railroad and telegraph lines, we believe and urge as public necessity that the ownership of all railroad and telegraph lines, be vested in the general government and pledge ourselves as Republicans to labor to the accomplishment of that end.
 Large bodies of land in this territ " are held by various corporations, under congressional lanc grants which no taxes are paid owing to their not being rveyed and patented. We pledye our representa i've tC urge upon ngress immediate action to haze tLeir gsaDts and their unsurveyed land surveyed, and thus in crease the taxable property by many thousands of dollars We urge upO0 congress the ceding to diherthent states and territories of all arid lands now held by the federal government.

TWIN EGGS.
Feat Over Which New Jersey Hen
 Cackled Proudly.

Feat Over Which New Jersey Hen
 Cackled Proudly.
 Farmer Corseglia, of South Jersey, has sent to the Philadelphia Record rather neat thing in the way of freak eggs, the production of one of his Cochin hens. What the hen tried to do was to lay two eggs at once, but she only par italy succeeded. Having produced one complete egg, correct in size and shape, she managed, in trying to instantly duplicate it. to inclose in it a flexible sac of semi-opaque skin, which also con- tained the complete yolll and white of another egg. The effect was, therefore, that of hard egg and an egg that has been dropped out of its shell, both in- closed in a seamless bag about four inches long and two inches wide. After accomplishing this very unusual feat Farmer CorSeglia's Cochin hen raised such a disturbance in order to call at tention to her achievement that she was set upon by half the feathered in- habitants of the barnyard and forced to roost on the henhouse roof to escape their jealo-5 wrath. The row having attracted farm hands notice he inves- tigated the cause and the Cochin's prize production was carefully placed i'll a cigar box filled with bran and taken to Farmer COrSeglia

THE NEW SANTA MARIA.

It is indeed hard to believe that the little caravel of 240 tons at the outside could have made such a voyage, and when one compares it with the large sailing vessels of today he may well be ilcredulOus. With the achievements of steam and practical science we are tolerably familiar, but the fact then though sailing vessels antedate written history. the progress therein since 1492 is as great as in anything else) comes to one as a great surprise. Compare the little Santa Maria with, for instance. the magnificent Shenandoah, the Ameri- can four masted bark and queen of all sailing vessels. which a sew months ago went from San Francisco to Liverpool with 5,O02 tons of wheat on board
 Consider first the big sailer The Shenandoah, commanded by Captain Murphy, was one of the five which left the Bay of San Francisco last year on the famous race around the Horn. They sailed at high tide, of necessity. as they drew twenty-seven feet of water. The weight of wheat aboard, 5,0O2 tons, was the greatest cargo of the kind ever placed in a vessel and equivalent to 1GG, 733 bushels, or the crop of an aver age agricultural county An adequate description of the Shenandoah would ill a column. Sailer as she is. she makes sail by steam" as sailors say that is, the sails are pulled into place by little donkey engine, and of all glorious sights to the seaman's eye there is none more glorious than to see her swell from bare poles to full rig of snowy sails in less than five minutes.
 The Santa Maria might have been placed on the deck of the Shenandoah without adding perceptibly to her weight of cargo. She was decked yes sel. and while the Spanish historians do not deal in exact measurements they are so minute in details of her capacity that her size is known. Captain Gustavus w. Fox, after very careful calculation, declares that her length was "63 feet over all and 67 feet along her keel" with 20 feet beam and 101$ feet in depth. Her crew consisted of fifty seamen, and in the list are found the names of one and one Lrishman. It is really pity that this list is not certain ly authentic; it would be interesting to know the name of the first Irish emi- grant to America. This historic vessel was wrecked on Christmas eve, 1499, on the coast of Hispaniola, calamity due to the gross carelessness of the sailing master.
 Small as she was, her consorts, the Pinta and the Nina, were considerably smaller, being mere barks. called cara wells, without decks, unless the high prow and stern may be so called. In the

WHEN Reavis failed to find a white maiden sufficiently charming to bear the august title of Chewing Gum Bar renness of the Staked Plains he turned hIs broken nose Tn the direction Of a Digger Indian and there found his ideal to the above title and to the vast estates of the white man. When the editor of the Star failed to find a white heiress for old John Walkers thousands, he dug in the same dire as Reavis did, when To, an Indian maiden swathed in the paint and grease ot her Gncesters is unearthed, and the battle for the Walk CT estate is to be again renewed. But why stop at one when a little more dig ging in the same pit would probably turn up twenty more of the same kInd. Every old timer knows what a prolific soil that is to dig in, for to John Walker the bars were down to the affection < f every Indian maid that ran the tuna and bean ranges, between the Supersti- tion mountains on the north and the Aios on the south. There is at least one photograph extant in which John Walk CT and three squaws form 0 picturesque group. Possibly the Star has already picked out the dame that gave to the world his promising heir.

THE SHENANDOAH.

center such q vessel was absolutely open and in no respect superior to the fishing craft and other light coastinS vessels of today. That men should have been willing to dare the passage of the stormy Atlantic in such craft gives us high idea of their courage, and as g matter of fact only Columbus. Las Casas, the PinZons and two or three other mad enthusiasts were willing The crew consisted chiefly of desperate characters compelled to take the trip. Many wero released from prison to go, and some had been condemned to death and volunteered as bare chance for life.
 Our asJonishment is but slightly miti- gated when we read that Columbus did not ask for large vessels, for there were many in the Spanish ports larger than these. He firmly believed that the voyage would be comparatively short and the sea where he was going always smooth, and he particularly requested such vessels as would enable him to run close i'll along the shores and sail up the rivers. On his third voyage, when he actually reached South America, he complained of the size of his vessel which rendered coast exploration diff cult.
 The Spanish authorities declare that the Santa Maria of 1899 is an exact re- production in every detail of that of 1892 It has the same old fashioned shape, the same primitive masts, rig gings and sails, and even the same ar mament of falconets and mortars, hal berds and arquebuses. The cabin of the commander is furnished in the style of the Fifteenth century, and it's table is filtered with maps, documents and nau ticsl instruments of the period Final

THE Democrats have taken the cue from MT. Cleveland's labored attempt to save New York, New Jersey and Con necticut, the voters of which states are so deeply and personally interested in the maintenance of 8 protective tariff, by writing around the tariff plank of the Chicago platform, and they are no : longer even claiming to believe that they will carry any of the northwestern states. They are also very much afraid that the Third Party will break into the solid south, and the shameful treatment of Weaver in Georg "a is believed to have been the direct result of orders from the Democratic national headquarters, to break up the Third Party movement in the south by fair means or by foul means. There are excellent reasons for believing that the fight upon the Third Party in the south is to be as relentless y wagsd as was the fight which practic- ally drove the Republicans out of exist ence in a number of those states. Still the rest of the country is asked to be- lieye that citizens residing ir the south ern states arc living under Republican form of government, having the right of free speech and.a free ballot. Possibly they are, but it is much the same sort of Republican government as that under which Mexicans live. Speech Is free provided you talk Democratic, and the ballot is free only when it contains the Democratic nominees.

Every Eominee on the ticket was the choice of con vention made up of representative Re publicans, and, as a matter of conse- quenee, every nominee on the ticket is entitled to the unanimous support of the entire party.

LAST Saturday was the day for the RepU blican party to choose and select its maternal for legislative and county official standard bearers and to this end the adbereuts of good and economical governmept gathered at Reid's opera house to see their party launched upon a contest which would proclaim victory and success when the sun went doEn on fhe political field on fhe Sth of November next. On the platform i'm mediately m front of Chairman Chas. R. Drake, were placed the large paintings of Harrison and Lincoln and the other portions of the opera house were appropriately decorated and in the auditorium sat the representatives and advocates of party that demanded statehood for Arizona and upon the man. tie of such advancement an upheaval of prosperity both in population and mater ial wealth all along the line. The con- vention was ably presided over and the speeches made were appropriate. The only ripple of jarring dispute that showed its face on the horizon was lulled to sleep by Judge Wright of Tucson. The judge poured oil on the one and only one wave of the troubled waters that showed its frowing crest in the tion, by offering an amend ment to an amendment in the case of the two delegations that showed up from La Noria. The amendment to the amendment was adopted and the pro- ceedings of the convention went on smoothly and the discordant wave that the opponents of the convention pre- dicted would sweep the convention was conEpicous only by its absence.
