From a prominent planter of
Copiah county, il Is learned that
the Mississippi Mills, which
some weeks ago were compelled
to partially suspend work in
their great manufacturing estab-
hshment, conf IDENTIFY expect to
resume with a full force by No
vember 10th. fins viii not on
" be welcome news to the ope
ratives at w essen, but will be
read with interest all over the
State.
These mills were established
near a quarter of a century ago
and never before ha re they been
compelled to suspend opera
tons. Indeed, not in many
years have they been able to
keep up with their orders. But
the unprecedented stagnatiou
of business some weeks since
caused them in order to give
employment to all their hands,
to reduce their working days to
three days q week. aud ,heir
hours to two thirds what then
regular time had been.
These mills employ between
fifteen hundred and two thou
sand operatives and the suspen
sion of work has caused them .
great many hardships and in
some cases, possibly, suffering.
The management Of the mills
took the night view, and instead
of dismissing part of the force
cut down the hours of work,
thus enabling all their employ
ees to earn enough to paIl them
through with the assistance of
the merchants Of that live little
city, who, awake to their own
interests, advanced the deserv-
ing ones enough to at least make
life worth living-Ciarion-Le dg-

NEW GOVERNOR APPOINTED.
 The announcement is made through the telegraph that l.. c. Hughes has been appointed goyer- nor of Arizona. As the JOURNAL MINER has been a consistent and un- swerving advocate of Mir. Hughes claim from the time of Cleyeland's election, and even before Mir. Hughes announced himself for the position, 1t is of course gratified at this ap- Pointment. It is gratifid at the appointment for the reason too, that Mir. Smith, delegate to congress from thls territory, and c. Meyer Zulick, ex-governor of the territory, both opposed the appointment of MT. Hughes, for the reason that he is possessed of the manhood. intel hgence, frmness of character and independence, that would prevent them from using him, as their tool, to advance their own ends to the detriment of the interest of the territory.
 The appointment is crushing defeat to both of these scheming politicians who have constituted themselves a committee to dispense the federal patronage of this ter ritory' It IS one, too, in keeping with the character of President Cleveland and with his promise to "smash" the slates of politicians.
 The fight waged on MT. Hughes by Zuliek and Smith was of the most bitter kind. A short time since q column article appeared in the St. Louis Republic in which the ear marks of Mark Smith were plainly visible. The latter is a sort of chum of the Washington cores pendent of this paper, and it is cer- tainly neither credit to the cores pondent or to the paper itself, that Mark Smith can obtain the use of its columns for the airing of his personal spleen against an individual as was the case in this instance.
 With the exception of one paper Mir. Hughes had the unanimous en- dorSement of the press of the terri tory, during the first days of his candidacy. This single exception was the Solomonyille Bulletin, whose editor had personal feelings against Mir. Hughes. Mere recently however after the .;,Izmes c. Blaine" | -1Ii -1Ji the Arizona democracy announced himself as a candidate for governor, MT. Hughes had the active and bitter opposition of the democratic paper in Prescott.
 Mir. Hughes has always stood firm in the support of the democratic party. He has labored earnestly and faithfully for the advancement of Arizona, and We believe he will make a good and efficient chief ex- ecutive of the territory.

pITHY. POINTED AND PERTINENT
 Which is to be the democfstic tariff bill The one prepared by E. Ellery Anderson, the one fixed up by Secretary Carlisle and Mir. Cleveland, or the one which will be knocked together by the Ways and Means committe of the House of Representatives.
 The Eighth Congressional dis trict of Virginia is thus far ahead. Out of l7,OOO democrats who voted at the last election, 5000 have ap- piled for office. No doubt about that Congressman earning his salary.
 Queen Victoria is travelling in Italy, and in England she isn't missed, so little does she really have to do with the government of that country.
 Bre'r Whitney is wise politician in his day and generation. He doesn't propose to lessen the strength of his "pull" by accepting an office.
 What is political honor, anywayi The mugwump papers say that Mir. Cleveland has by the use of patron age secured the control of the vote, of Senators Voorhees, and Vest for 1 the repeal of the Sherman silver law, and they are loudly applaud ing him for having done so. The introduction of the title of Ambassador into our diplomatic service will serve no good purpose, although it will unquestionably lower us a peg or two in the estima- ton of those Europeans who have respected us for our sturdy inde pendence. It will give our repre- sentstives precedence in some of the ceremonial affairs at European capitals, but will not add to their | influence.
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1893-04-12

Our contemporary seems to have no opinion on any subject except as 1t may be based on prospective pat ronage. It is ever and eternally attributing such motives to other papers, and such thoughts could only emanate from one who is gov erned by such motives himself. Its insinuations this morning about the JoURNAL-MNER being influenced by motives of prospective patronage, in its congratulations over the ap- pointment of L. C. Hughes as gov ernor, only shows its own fears dn the subject, as this paper has been consistent advocate of the ap- pointment of Mir. Hughes, ever since the result of the election in Novem- Der was made known. Don't worry, neighbor, we are not looking after any of the grazing over in the Dem ocratic pasture field.

Another View Of t.

In an article in Saturday evenings MINER. written by Dr. Maus' on scarlet fever and diphthe- ria, I find a number of statements that I think should be corrected or amended out of justice to the com munity.
 Dr. Maus writes a very extended piece. in which be strikes terror to the hearts of the people in this town, and I think without any cause what ever. He states that 1t IS fact that contagious diseases have been more or less prevalent m this city since the beginning of the winter. l do not think it is fact that contag- ious diseases of virulent character like diphtheria and scarlet fever have existed here, for if so, think l would have had one or more cases myself He also states that 1t Is a wonder, unde the circumstances, that both diseases are not more gen eral. There is no wonder, as the diseases cannot he contagious. IT we had had the scarlet fever and diphtheria reported at various times the parents of MOST families in this place would sadly realize the fact by this time and need no newspaper article to inform them of a contag- ious disease in their midst. l be- lieve that We should absolutely kuow beyond a doubt that contag- ious diseases exist before We have the fact published, for scare may work sad havoc in itself, with totally different and easily curable diseases. Scarlet fever and diphtheria can be diagnosed to a certainty, but one of the attending physicians on Mir. Campbell's child told me that he failed to test the urine for albumen, I when an analysis of the urine is nee essary for a complete diagnosis of diphtheria.
 The two causes of diphtheria and scarlet fever are correctly stated in Dr. Maus' article, but the causes of the diseases prevailing here at pres ent is climatic; occurring every win ter and spring when We have unusu- ally warm days and cold nights. hoNC SCtn tAAC SouiC dlScactS ku0i AL6 prevailing now, for the last twenty seven years in this town, and each time they have been called by tenn porary physicians or recent arrivals, scarlet fever or diphtheria, and in no case do know of either of them being traced to reliable source of contagion.
 l Inotice that Dr. Maus errs when he states that diphtheria ALWAYS makes its first appearance in the throat, for constitutional symptoms always appear first.
 In conclusion I will state that I | do not write this article for the purpose of appearing antagonistic to the medical profession here, but | simply because l owe it to the com munity to relieve them, if possible. | from the unnecessary scare which is m itself detrimental. If l have ac- complished my desire in any way I | am we'll repaid for my pains.
