SOUTHERN GLEANlNGS.
First Rice Elevator In the wnrl,

The National Rice Manufacturing
Co. of New Orleans, has just complet-
ed the erection of the first rice elevator
in the world.
The few trials so far given il have proved
the success OF the experiment and other ele-
vators will be erected both at New Orleans
and other principal rice points in this country.
The effect will be to revoutionize the rice
trade. Under the old system the cost of hand
ling and selling the cereal was very great, he
sides the inconvenience OF sending out
samples OF each shipment and the i'm
possibility of concentrating shipments,
owing TO the difference in grades
and contracts for particular grades. In
the new elevator system the rice is brought in
car lots, dumped into the elevator, is cleaned,
weighed and automatically assorted into one
OF six grades by delicate machinery, and is
then loaded into sacks, which are delivered on
the warehouse fl DOR ready for the market
Outside of the saving in the handling the es-
tablishment OF grades will facilitate and sys.
tematize the sales doing away with delay,
cost and Inconvenience and establishing tho
rice industry on the same basis az wheat and
other cereals The opinion OF the rice men

Give Thanks.

For leaf and bud and bloom
That came with dawn OF spring
For balmy laden breeze,
For tuneful birds a-wing,
Give thanks.
For sun and moon and stars
That heat and light and cheer,
And mark the fight Of time,
With day and month and year,
Give thanks
For mellowed fruit and grain
In bounteous harvest stored;
For earths full generous wealth
Into our garners poured
Give thanks.
For love and hope and faith
In friends. both old and new,
With willing, helpful hands
And trusting hearts, and true

For life, and all its gains
From earth and sea and air;
For all the great outpour
or blessings that we snare

SOMEWHAT IScoNsIsTKNT.

Secretary Hoke Smith estimated that the pension payments for the next fiscal year will be si60,0OO, GOO. "The pension roll is still large but in cutting of the mendicants who too Hong lived at the country's expense. "the secretary of the interior has earned the good will of his country men"
 The above excerpt is from the Tue son Star, "the leading democratic newspaper Of Arizona,n which bears at it's editorial head the name Of l.. C.. Hughes, who is also the democratic governor of Arizona, and in many ways very estimable gentleman. Governor Hughes was also soldier in in the late war and doubtless gal lant one. Physically Governor Hughes seems the very picture of health, and is far more active than the average man of his years. Yet TIE OASIS is informed upon the very best author ity that Mir Hughes has applied for a pension under the very laws that his newspaper asserts have been abused by the ."mendicants who have lived too long at the country's expense"
 For the sake of consistency and de- cency, Governor Hughes should alter the tone of the editorial columns of his journal or withdraw his applica- tion for pension, and cease his effort toward having his own name enrolled on the list of ''mendicants living at the expense of the country"

IMPROVEMENT OF THE COLORADO.

A Washington telegram states that Governor Hughes of Arizona has held an im~ortant conference with Minis ter Romero of Mexico, touching i'm proycment of the Colorado river. The Governor represented to Mir. Romero that the Colorado is the second larg- est river on the Pacific coast, that with jetties and some dredging along the course of the stream it could be made nayigable 600 miles, far up into Arizona and Nevada, tapping rich mineral regions in the mountains and fine agricultural and horticultural region in the lower country. He in- stanced the large deposit of coal and great areas of timber land along the gulf coast in Mexico that would be made accessible to good markets up the river.
 MT. Hughes thought the United States would undertake to improve it's part of the river if Mexico will do likewise. Mir Romero was much im- pressed with the representations of Arizona's executive and promised to call the attention of his government He thought the best way to proceed would be by appointment of joint commission to investigate the matter
 Governor Hughes proposition is most excellent. Improvement of the Colo rado and deep water shippingat Yuma would work wonders for Arizona. But more on this topic hereafter.

The eminent free trade theorist says "a laboring man can live on d dollar day. Of course he can by adopting the bread and water diet once proposed by Henry Ward Beechsr. It is that kind of talk from those who monopolize the fat of the land that gives so much room for the wi,l talk of anarchists aRd socialists. In this day and age it ia not question Of how cheaply can a laboring man live, but how can he best live; aud it is the duty Of organized society and govern ment to secure him the best possible living.

AS APPEAL TO rHE LAW.

The quarrel between the two fac tions of the democratic party in Ari- zona has eliminated in indictment of the editor and manager of the Arizona Gazette on a charge of libel, at the in- stance of the democratic attorney gen. eral.
 In one sense this is right and proper. If the official has been really damaged by the assaults of his party organ let a jury of his peers determine the ex- tent of the damage and have the pun ishment due the offenders meted out by competent court. The taunts of the indicted journal because the ag- grieved official appeals to the law rather than to persanal violence, are out of place in this day and at this time. As a leader in the statehood movement the Gazette should gladly avail itself of an opportunity to silence eastern critics by showing that bit ter factional controversy can be fought out without a resort to border ruffian methods. One of the great arguments against statehood for Arizona in the minds of those who can grant or with hold it is that we are not fitted for self government because of our disposition to settle differences by violence rather than by law. Here has been splen- did opportunity to disprove this carp ing criticism, and MT. Heney wisely siezed it.
 While an indictment for libel was possibly correct from one point of view, it was far from wise in another light. It is not good politics. The aati-Gazette crowd risk too much on single issue. Having secured indict- ment they must now convict or lose all prestige and accept open defeat. Of course, if they convict they will have won tremendous victory and opposition will be crushed. But when the almost impossible task of securing a conviction for libel from an Ameri- can jury is taken into consideration, it will be seen what desperate chances the administration faction is taking. It is poor politics to take such chances.

Outside counties are hardly the places in which to secure indictments of the editors of the Arizona Gazette. If they have offended the law and de- serve punishment the county where their paper is published should take hold of them.

They refuse to hold party caucus on the repeal bill, for they know they will be outvoted and de- feated. They hope to force the issue against a majority of their own party.
