ARIZONA'S EXHIBIT.
The Cactus Manufacturing
Company
Atones for Much That Has Been
Neglected bv the Territory
at the Great Fair.

Now that the Columbian exposition
is nearing it's close, a few words may be
said in praise OF Arizona in general and
Tempe in particular. Abuse of every
description has been heaped upon
everything that has been connected
with our territory at the fair by un-
acrupulous people that are noted for
more loose talk than good actions; but
ms people outside OF Arizona have the
right and privilege of expressing an
opinion, il may be we'll TO profit by the
ramarks dropped by strangers and give
All parties Justice that deserve IL.
One OF the most original and attrac-
rive exhibits in the manufactures and
liberal arts building Is the cactus furni-
anre display, manufactured at the Ari-
monA Cactus company's factory at
Tempe, which town enjoys the proud
distinction OF possessing the only cactus
factory in the world. Situated near the
north end of the building, the exhibit
10 the admiration and wonder OF the
gaping and interesting crowds that
daily flock to that part Of the building,
A beautiful growing cholla cactus
bAAnulnk DOlulH III the lIUut Vi buu GA
hibit, is living example OF what nu-
merous articles OF furniture and orna-
ments behind il were at one time.
Pressed fibre picture frames and napkin
rings with fancy ink stands occupy two
cases while magnificent mantel and
French plate mirror are enclosed in q
framework of this wonderful plant.
An interesting piece OF furniture that
has been sold six times over duplicates
now being made at the factory is a
large round table beautifully inlaid
with polished cactus. A fine screen
captured the eye OF Russian who took
IL without aiting for it to receive q
fnRl polish for fear that another screen
may be substituted, while a German
exhibitor fell in love with a music
stand that is really work Of art.
Many other pieces too numerous to
mention cause people to wonder.
The patience OF Mr.. Woods will
finally cease to be virtue il the peo-
pie do not quit asking him questions,
hat so long as Tempe can boast of hay
ing the factory whose production causes
more comment at the fair than any
other manufactured article, we care not
what questions are asked.

THE PACIFIC SQUADRON,
Chief Cause of the Numerous De
sertions of Seamen.
Stringent Restrictions Render Service at
Mare Island So Unbearable That Com
petent Men Are Hard to
Retain.

Capt. Ludlow's requisition TO the sec
rotary of the navy for men for the
Behring sea feet and the desertion by
the dozens of sailors from north-bound
vessels in Puget sound have attracted
considerable attention in marine cir
cles to the fact that enlistments in the
United States naval service are be-
coming beautifully less every day.
Not only is the Behring sea feet hav-
ing hard time getting men, but the
news has leaked out that the whole
Pacific squadron is short of seamen,
and that there exists spirit of discon-
tent among those that are enlisted
which almost borders on mutiny.
A San Francisco Call reporter inter
viewed dozen or more seamen from
the navy yard separately, and as these
mems statements, with the exception
of two, agreed in every particular, it
might be well for the secretary of the
navy to investigate the cause Of some of
the mems complaints.
"Why do men of the Pacific squad
ron desert2" was asked of a seaman of
the United States steamer Alliance.
He answered; "For the simple rea-
son that the restrictions placed on the
men of the Pacific squadron are more
stringent than at any other naval sta
ton of the Uaited States. A sailor is
allowed absolutely no privileges at all
when on duty at Mare island. Unlike
the British navy yard at Esquimalt, or
even the yards on the Atlantic coast of
the United States, Mare island is bound
up with a lot of rules and red tape
which makes sailor slave in every
sense of the word every hour of the
twenty-four. Vessels of the Pacific
squadron, especially those on local
coast and Behring sea duty, appear to
be commanded after the fashion of the
Mare island navy yard. Fines are i'm.
posed for the least incivility and
breach of discipline, and no other time
save that allotted for shore leave il
given to seamen during which they
might call their souls their own,
$50 degenerated has become the
naval service of the Pacific coast
through the enforcement of trifling
and aggravating rules at the navy
yard and also on board of vessels OF
the Pacific squadron that good mer
will no longer sign to serve here. The
consequence Is every greenhorn that
comes along is picked up, and the aver
age crew of naval vessel on Pa
cific station consists of the scum of al
nationalities, Naval seamen dread
duty at Mare island about as much as
they do life in prison. Nearly all the
time OF the men stationed at the yard
is spentin bowling and scraping around
officers and working on senseless jobs
sometimes of very mental nature"
Several of the late crew of the The
tbs, men from the Omaha and few
OF the Monterey's crew told stories al
most identical with that of the Ali
ance man. Perhaps it is not the feai
OF northern voyage alone which
makes men desert the United States
navy and renders the present scarcity
of sailors so obvious.

Mr.. Psul Neumann, who is here as envoy e,-
trsordirary and minister plenipotentiary from
Her Majesty Liliuokalani, has advanced q
proposition which cannot fail to become in
simultaneously popular among those distin-
guished statesmen who occupy seats in the halls
Of Congress. He proposes the formation Of g
commission which shall be authorized to pro-
coed to Honolulu and to any other portions Of
Any Of the other islands in the Hawaiian group,
there to secure information as to the precise
condition Of affairs upon which to base recon-
mendations rs to annexation or non-annexa-
tion- Those who have hoped for imme-
date annexation will find danger in Mr.
Neumann's idea, for there is nothing so
dear to the legislative heart as An excursion
to some PARKWAY region. Everybody will hope
TO be . member Of the party and there will be
almost unanimous encouragement Of the Neu-
mann proposition by those willing servants of
the people whose committees have not vet re-
ceived permission to draw without limit during
the coming summer upon the contingent funds
Of the Senate and House. Mr.. Neumann may
be pilgrim and a stranger, but he knows as
much a. some natives.

The report Of the conference committee on
the District Of Columbia appropriation bill is
now due, and when it makes its appearance
there will probably be debate upon the liquor
license amendment framed BY Senator Hunton
and inserted in the bill on motion Of Senator
Mcmillan No true friend to law and order
will do otherwise than endeavor to have re-
tanned in the measure that simple yet effective
provision 1t is within the range Of unfortu-
nate possibility that the liquor bill over which
there is 30 much disagreement may fail to
reach the President in time to secure his sig
nature, and in that event the Mcmillan Hunton
amendment to the appropriation bill would be
the one legal obstruction in the way Of unregu-
lated and unrestrained liquor traffic should
the independent measure become law il will
supersede the amendment referred to. but rs
things appear just now no reasonable excuse
can be offered for the elimination of license
legislation from the appropriation bill. The
good citizens Of this community demand some
sort OF law on this vital subject and IL Con-
gress will rot give Us a comprehensiye law it can
not refuse Us the temporary relief and pro,ec-
ton which is so much needed.
