BOILING WATERS FROZEN FOAM
A dispatch from Ottawa says:
Owing to the extreme cold weather
a complete bridge Of ice covers what is
known as the big Kettle extending
from distance OF about 100 feet below
the Suspension Bridge to within fifty
feet of the foot of the falls. The bridge
is composed of frozen foam, heaped to
height of six or eight feet, and frozen
so solid that several persons have cross
ed it. This is the first time in hun
ared years that these boiling waters
have frozen oyer. The cold weather
in this section is undated in intensity.
AT Mattawah, yesterday morning, the
thermometer registered thirty-pine de-
grees below zero; at Pembroke forty
below at Ironsides thirty-two below /;
at Maniwaki thirty-four below at Ka-
suhagua thirty-liye below, and at North
Wakefield thirty-four below.

JOHN WANAMAKER, 1t is said, gave SO
600 to the first Harrison campaign, and
the whole democratic party was
Mortified at his appointment as post
master general. Jimmie" Van Allen
entered into bargain with William G..
Whitney and gave $4,000 to the demo-
cratic corruption fund for the Italian
appointment, which has been made by
the president. in fulfilment of the con-
tract, and the senate has confirmed the
nomination. La the Wanamaker matter
he gave no more than many others did,
aud gave it without hope of reward.
Van Allen gave five times as much, and
gave it with a distinct understanding
that he was, according to his own
estimate, to be paid back in full. That's
the difference between the two cases.
One was simple party contribution;
the other was a deliberate currupt
bargain and sale.

ARIZONA has newspapers devoted to
most interests of the territory-stock
papers, mining papers, agricultural Jour-
mails and plain news papers, embodying
them all. or politics the press has set
forth for republicanlsm, democracy of

even the great cause of prohibition has
not been overlooked. One want has
been long felt, however, and now that
is about being granted US. We have
never had an organ of the peoples

acclaimed of rottenness in the old
parties, even to quoting their experiences
of where the right thing has not been
done them. But heretofore they have
had to get their woes voiced from far
off Kansas, or Iowa They have had
no peoples party organ in the great
territory of Arizona. Now comes a
voice from the wilderness of Kingman,
Arizona. Our Mineral Wealth, Price

our purpose to abandon" The only
lack in the press OF the territory now
is the Salvation Army War Whoop,

LAST week, during the royal entertain
ment accorded the Russians at Paris,
az individual credited with being de-
mented fired shot at the gathering,
creating great CONSERVATION among
the entertainers and the entertained.
As an excuse for his conduct he de-
clared that it WAS outrageous that so
much money was being expended on
entertainments while there was so much
poverty and distress in Paris. This
man might have been demanded, but
there was good deal of sanity and
reason in his statement. He might
have expressed his disgust and disap-
proval in some less emphatic manner,
but possibly he thought that it would
not receive as much notice as the
means he employed. There is too much
money being wasted in senseless enter
tainments, not alone in Paris, but in
other countries as well.

If President Cleveland had not called
off the administration senators a com-
promise would have been reached. How
this affected the silver democrats may
be judged by Senator Morgan's criticism
of him in a speech. He said: 81 am
disposed to say to the president: When
you leave the executive mansion and
come here to guide US in legislation, you
must not feel at all affronted if we take
up the veto power and use it on you.
You shall not interfere with u.s." How
the two wings of the democratic party

letter to the several county commits
sioners, suggesting that the various
private collections of minerals from
Arizona be donated to prominent public
museums Or colleges, where they may
become permanent and telling adver-
tisements of the mineral resources of
Arizona. Mr.. Sorin states that the
immense block of serpentine azurite

by the Copper Queen company has
been contributed to the Museum of
Natural History, in Central park, New
