The wording of the treaty by which
Arizona was ceded to the United States
by Mexico was loosely drawn, otherwise
we would have enjoyed the distinction
of having a deep water harbor. The
line, which leaves Nogales and makes
an angle at that point by taking a more
northerly route until it reaches the Col
orado river, should have kept ON a con-
tingous straight course, which was the
intent of the agreement with Mexico
1t was arranged to give Arizona deep
water harbor on the gulf of Mexico by
making the treaty read that the boun-
dairy should be drawn in a straight line
from Nogales to a point 90 miles below
the mouth of the Colorado river. After
the papers were drawn up and signed it
was observed that the reading had been
changed to make the line run to point
90 miles below the mouth of the Gila
river.
Besides losing the harbor of Port Isa-
bel and 20 miles of deep water coast,
Arizona lost some of the best land in
Sonora. 1t was considered in the days
when the treaty was signed that Ari-
zona soil was not worth a cent quarter
of a section, and the matter was dropped
without contesting.
Now that the discovery is made that
the land which the United States gave
up to Mexico by this error is worth more
per acre for the growing of tropical
fruits than any other part of America, it
seems as though our government should
take some steps to recover it, even though
few million dollars were necessary to
move the line to where it properly be-
longs. 1t is worth gitating.-Tomb-

New York's Growth Estimated by Andrew
IL. Green.

tFrom Our New York Correspondent
1.-THE greatest city in America and the
greatest city in the world in the Twentieth
century will be that comprised in the met
ropolitan district of New York" That is the
prophecy of Andrew H. Green, who has for
thirty years given exhaustive study to this
subject. Mr.. Green is one of the executors
of the will of Samuel j. Tilden, and his re-
markable business capacity and sound
judgment as well as other qualities made
him one of the most intimate of the few in
innate friends of that great man.
Mr.. Green believes that Chicago is to be
the most gigantic of the internal cities of
the United States, numbering in it's popu-
lation in the next century perhaps almost
as many as Paris now has. But the New
York of 1903 will have, he estimates, more
than 100000 people,
EARLY in the next century the consolida-
ton of all that section which is now com
prised in the metropolitan district under
one municipality will, think, have been
accomplished. This will then bring more
than 100000 people under one municipal
government, and when we remember that
in this district 100 years ago less than $4,000
people lived it is fair to infer from the nat
ural law growth that more than 100000
Will De III lllS ul5UflCU lUO years nence, all

1T Is to be the finest municipal develop
ment the world has ever seen. | expect
that some Of the problems that now face
municipalities will have been solved by
this grand congregation of citizens. The
finest churches, the most beautiful archi-
lecture, the most exquisite parks, the most
beautiful drives, will give comfort and de
light to the people who live in this com
munity in the next century. There are to
be reforms of municipal administration
and do not say that the New York of the
next century is going to be ideally perfect,
but do say that it passes the comprehen-
sion of men now living to conceive the maj
esty of this great city as it will be in the
next century"

Rev. Thomas Dixon's Mental Telescope
Takes q Wide Sweep.

AS to the political and social condition Of
the United States and of the world in 1903,
| do not believe there will be a crowned
head in the civilized world at the close Of
the next century. | believe that democracy
will reign triumphant to the farthest limits
of civilization.
1t seems to me certain that government
must grow more complex if by complexity
we understand the multiplication of its
functions. "The less government the bet
ter" is motto of an infantile republic. 1t
Is out of date at least 100 years. BY gov
ernment our ancestors understood tyranny,
kingship, power outside Of the people
pressing upon them. BY government now
we understand the people governing them
selves AS life becomes necessarily com
plex, so government must keep pace with
the development Of life; otherwise liberty
will become at last n mockery. The condi-
tions of our modern civilization are far
more complex than the conditions of those
which our ancestors met when they made
the federal constitution. That constitution
is utterly inadequate to the demands Of the
present, and will be magnifed and enlarged
either directly or indirectly by amendment
or Interpretation to meet the growing needs
of the new life of the new century

Her answer was merry peal Of
laughter.
"Why, what In the world. Master

hand? i have two hands Of my own"
That hand, which afterwards threw
stone across the Rappahaunocls,
doubled itself into a formidable fist,
then slowly relaxed and dropped Mt

cisive motion.

trothed wife were listening to an
avowal of love from another man."
"Say you so, Mistress Lydia? Then

The tears were in his blue eyes, his
lips quivered, and Mistress Lydia
asked him if he recalled the time when

and showed him the name George

As lie rode away In the splendor of
the moonlight with his prancing horses,
Mistress Lydia looked after him with q
little sigh.
"He is gallant youth, and sits his
horse like knight, straight of limb,
and OF lofty bearing. Alack! One
cannot marry all the suitors who come
a-wooing, but wish, my noble George,
you were rs advanced in years rs in
stature. Methinks he feels this matter
deeply; he held my gauntlet TO his lips
rs he rode away. He will make q
brave lover some day, alackg"
How 1t affected the youthful lover
we can now only learn from his jour-
nal, which has become relic of his
tory. There he is strangely silent cou-
corning the name OF his early love.
He INDUCED, however, in poetry of the
most commonplace amatory kind, in
which Cupid's dart is made TO rhyme
with heart, and he records his woes in
n lugubrious style, after the fashion of
the lover ''sighing like furnace"
1t was soon after this episode that
George Washington renowned the
comforts of home aud set out with Col.
George Fairfax on n surveying eXpe-
dition through the mountains of Vir-
ginia. There he began to be cured Of
his unhappy passion, which had taken
n deep hold of his nature and which
had been revived and accentuated by
the tender attentions of beautiful
young lady into whose society he was
much thrown.

of the enormous tracts of land belong

you that is boys age?'
The pretty young woman threw back
her head and laughed, showing row of
pearl white teeth.

years, good four years older by time,
and many more years older by token

youthful cavalier, in the high flown
phraseology of the day. ''Nay, Mis-
tress Lydia, since you will not give me
the great guerdon of your love, no

nor wed with one"
After this they rode along the banks
of the Potomac and watched the yell

trees, but they spake no more Of love
