Triple Tragedy,

George Moore, of Dennison, Ohio, shot his
wife, killing her instantly, also Edward
McClelland, saloon-keeper, badly
wounding him, and then fatally
shot himself. Moore was employed by
the Panhandle Railway and worked at
night. McClelland boarded at Moore's
house Moore and his wife had had great
deal of trouble lately, growing out of jeal-
ousy on Moore's part.
When Moore returned from work he
found his wife sitting at work at her sewing
machine. Without saying word, he drew
a revolver and shot her through the
head, killing her instantly. He then
ran into an adjoining room, where Nc
Clelland was sleeping, and fred two shots at
him, one striking him in the forehead.
Moore then ran from the house to the resi-
dence of his mother-in-aw, near by, and shot
himself through rhe head.

The Parsees and the Dead Prince.

The Parsees and the Dead Prince.
 In connection with the expressions of sorrow evoked throughout all parts of our Indian empire by the sad death of the Duke of Clarence one of the most remarkable perhaps was the meeting of the Parsee residents of Bombay. The Parsees assembled the other day in the beautiful Wadia Fire temple under the presidency of Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, the well known Bombay millionaire and philanthropist. After prayers and ref erences to the duty of loyalty to rulers as inculcated by the Zoroastrian theol- ogy and philosophy, the dustoor, or Parsee high priest, observed that the fire that was kept burning in the censer be- fore the assembly was the emblem of the light of heaven, and before that fire they must all earnestly solicit and pray to the Almighty Ahura Muzda that he might grant a peaceful repose to the spirit of the royal prince in the eternal abode of paradise.
 After invoking the archangels and an- gels to guard the princess spirit from idiiui Iho Piayer sPeCidiiy ColhpuSeu uy tho dustoor for the occasion ended with beseeching the continuance of the safety and prosperity that the Zoroastrian com munity enjoy under the rule of her majesty the queen-empress. All this is touching, characteristic as it is of that loyal and generous spirit 90 consistently displayed by our Parsee friends in In- dia's commercial metropo.is,-Colonies and India.

WHITELAw REED on taking the gavel to preside over the New York Republi- can convention gave some excellent ad- vice: "Let us make it speaking can vass, with our orators in every school house." he said. "Let us make it a reading canvass, with our documents and our newspapers whitening the land. Let us make it clean canvass, avoiding mere abuse of our opponents, avoiding brag and bluster and paltry personali- ties, let us have a straight forward, de- cent, manly, red-hot fight, altogether, for our faith, and we shall win now as we always have won when we fought that way" This should be the char scter of the campaign from all sides. The issues are clear enough, the posi- tions of the two parties wide enough apart and the platforms will be explicit enough to give every man whether Dem ocrst or Republican enough to figh, about if he keeps posted without rakine up personalities and islanders which no- body believes.

TIE HEADLIGHTS OF PROSPERITY


 IL is pretty we'll understood that the Southern Pacific railroad company have concluded to take in the Phoenix X Maricopa railroad, and construct line from the Salt river bridge up the Verde river through northeastern Arizona, and thence to Kansas City, St. Louis, Chi cago and the living world.
 When the Southern Pacific company take. hold of anything its accomplish ment may be considered assured.
 The benefits so Arizona of this enter prise will be immense; and as another avenue to the Salt River valley is ope ned population will iloyk in to-cu1tivate the unsurpassed lands.
 There is reason ole exp, cation hat the Pima and Marlcopa Indian re eser- vation will soon be withdrawn as there are no Indians upon it, and the land will be opened to entry under the home stead and desert land scts-the only land laws remaining in force.
 These actions will give the Salt River valley an impetus not hitherto felt, and with enterprise and labor it will soon become the garden valley of the west.
 If the occupants of land Tn the Salt River valley will not cultivate it they must give way to.a more industrious class. This is the law of nature, the survival of the tiJtes,, and the ineyi- table law of taxation.

Automatic Postal Call nox.

A very ingenious automatic machine has been established near the letter box at Chaing Cross station for the collec. tiOa of letters to be forwarded by the postofiice express service. 1t is in cleo trical connection with the postal tele- graph office opposite tho station. By dropping a penny into the slot and pull ing ont the slide, a brown colOred en- velope is delivered. This envelope con tains another envelope and card. The communication is intended to be written on the card, which is then inclosed in the white envelope, and this, with the fees for delivery, which have been fixed at threepence per mile, is reinclosed in the outer envelope and deposited in the box behind !he flap, which bears the printed instructions. The act Of with. drawing the slide sends the call signal to tho telegraph office, and q messenger is at once dispatched to collect the spe- cial letters. Electrical Review.

caste me errmg individual, although not wealthy man, had sufficient means to pay the cost of purifcation, He was first weighed in pice, and was valued at ls0 rupees, and after that in wheat. After the weighing he was made to sit on a square stone and his body was cov- cred with dirt, the face only excepted; he was then taken up by two men and thrown into the river, and after good bath he came out and was received by the Brahmans, fully restored to caste fellowship. The Brahrnans informed the purified individual that great favor had been conferred on him in weighing him in copper instead of silver.-Lon- don Letter.

MUNICIPAL HOUSE CLEANING.

Clean up the city! No Druden t housewife would dare to let the summer come upon her household without clean ing out corners and Investigating the dirt collecting parts of her establish ment. If such renovation is necessary for domestic health how much more do we need to attend to the cleaning of the city. Sewers need attention. AL leys need disiniecting and above all do- we need to dry up the ponds of green water standing about the city.
 About half the diseases which afilict us during the heated term are due to dirt. We are utterly careless about our mu- nicipal health until it is too late. Then we proceed to disinfect and try and un- do the damage. It is case of locking the stable after the horse is stolen.
 This has been an unusually wet and cool spring. This means an unusual growth of weeds and rank vegetation. Rank vegetation means rank rot. So clean up the city, that our undertaking bill may not be large.

THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE

Of all the departments in Washington the land office comes nearest to the peo- ple-afecting the entire masses. Itls, therefore, a matter of congratulation that under Commissioner Carter the affairs of this department have been efficiently and honestly conducted. In this con nection TIE REPUBLICAN takes pleasure in reproducing and endorsing the fol- lowing editorial from late issue of the Santa Fe Nsw Merican;
 "The United States land office in this city has received patents for all final homestead entries made in January last and for 30 per cent of all homestead en- tres made in February last in that office. This may not signify much to people not interested, but to land owners, settlers and immigrants it mat ters much. It is proof conclusive, that the business of the general land office under Commissioner Carter is Con- ducted efficiently and thoroughly; that business coming before it is prom tly examined and quicl, y disposed of nat the provisions of the law are carried out in letter and spirit, and that the rights of settlers and citizens as well as those of the government are fully protected.
 Contrast this record with the record oi the general land office under Sparks and Cleveland. All patents and all is- sues of patents were suspended settlers and citizens of the great west and espcc- lally Of New Mexico were branded as thieves and perjurers horde of scoun- drels were appoluicd special agents and sent tO tue southwest and into New Mexico for no other purpose than to blackmail the settlers and land owners, lnstitute corrupt prosecutions, and make fees for the United States attorneys, the United States inarshals, the clerks of ,he courts and the judges, for it is fact that is so easily susceptible of proof, that proof has never been demanded, that in this First Judicial district and m the Third district of New Mexico the Demo- cratic judges divided the fees with the clerks oi their resDective courts.
 The people of the great west and especially Of New Mexico are to be con graduated indeed upon the fact that under Secretary Noble and Commis- sioner Carter a wise, liberal, public spirited and honest policy prevails in the department of the interior and the general land office.
 "Commissioner I. II. Carter is cer- tainly the right man in the right place,

RAILROAD RUMoRs are rife and where there is so much smoke usually there is some fire. However, that both the Santa F6 and Southern Pacific will be in Phoenix, giving us a north and south outlet, within eighteen months may be set down as an assured fact. It is a pretty safe conclusion, too, that before long the Rock Island and Union Pacific roads will run into Phoenix.
