A Washington Democratic Journalistic
 Lament.

"This was democratic paper in days gone by, but the change in the national administration of the govern ment at Washington, which it labored so ably and so earnestly to accomplish, has not been what was expected. and, like the Frcnchman's whisky, it didn't taste so good in the mouth as it did in the imagination. Like many other industries under the new conditions that confront us, this institution has withered and died There Is no show for straight-out democratic paper in these diggings in these times, and we have reluctantly been compelled to shut up shop for lack of patronage. Our plant has been sold to hated ri- val and putrld reminiscence of re- publicanism across the river; and the faithful old type that have whooped it up so long for fat old Grover, the stuffed prophet and uncrowned king of the true democracy, will hereafter do degraded service in expounding the pernicious but profitable theories of protection to the political sinners of the Evergreen state. We wanted a democratic government and we got it. After nineteen months experience with Grover and Billy Wilson's con- gress we are willing to let go and give the republicans chance. We are no hog

MIR. MuRPHY's POSITION.

Every effort is being made to mis- construe Mir. Murphy's position on the test oath. At meeting at Thatcher, Graham county, Monday night, before an audience of Mormons General Sampson called Mr. Joseph Fish, an influential Mormon, to prove that in 1892, Governor Murphy called his att tention to an Idaho paper with an ac- count of meeting of the republican territorial convention, with resolu- tion reciting President Woodruff's manifesto to the Mormon people to abandon polygamy, and recommending repeal of the test oath. That" said Governor Murphy to Mir. Fish in 1892, lis my position on this question"
 Governor Murphy went on to Wash ington and made an argument to the president advocating amnesty to the Mormons, and that argument was most potent In inducing Mir. Harrison to issue his proclamation. On that point Mir. Harrison has telegraphed MT. Murphy from New York as fol- lows:
 NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 1894

 BENJ. HARRISON. The letter published in the Gazette purporting to be from Governor Mur- phy to John T. Caine of Utah, asking Mormon support, is a downright for gery.

Wool Still Declining.
hog.

The democratic campaigners and pa- pers are still repeating the false. state- ment that the price of domestic wool has been improved by the repeal of the tariff. And yet every wool grower in the country knows that wool is declin- ing and many of them have ruin in that line of industry before them. There is not single grade of wool grown in the United States" write Justice, Bateman & Co. of Philadelphia to the Chicago Inter-Ocean, that will bring as much money today as on the 27th of August, 1894, the day wool was put on the free list, or previous to that date.r The firm are large dealers. In their letter to the Inter-Ocean they go into details, and they show beyond any question that the market has been broken and that there is no prospect of recovery. They substantiate their statements by quotations from var ious publications. 1.-The community is being deceived" they say, in conclu- sion, "by statements that the Wilson German bill has caused an advance in the price of American wool, when, in point of fact, it is declining
 The wool industry ranks as the sey- enth largest agricultural industry in the country. It is the democratic pol icy to destroy it. Those who are in- terested in wool growing will not lose sight of the fact on election day. It Is living question in Arizona, as it is elsewhere.

An Important Letter.

The following letter from MT. John Henry Smith son of Joseph Smith, to Philenson Merrill of Graham county conveys important information on Governor Murphy's attitude on the Mormon question, and will be read with great interest by every Latter Day Saint in Arizona.

Competition of Mexican Cattle.
HoLDROoK. ARI&., Oct. l6

HoLBROoK, ARI&., Oct. 16.
 EDITOR MAIL-Apprcpos of the talk that we have nothing to fear from for eign competition in the cattle busi- ness, l give your readers herewith a copy Of letter received by me few days ago. In explanation, l will say that the writer is buyer for two of the heaviest slaughterers in San Francis co, and buys each year 5000 to 5000 Ie9ders and beef cattle. He has bought many steers of us here on the A. x F. road and knows the grade of our cattle. Having some steers to sell l wrote to him about coming down here, as he has done for several years past. In justice to him 1 omit his name, as l have not had time to ob- tain his permission t. publish it:
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. x. 1894. W. c. Barnes, Esq., Holbrook. Ariz.
 DEAR SIR Yours nf recent date re- ceised. aud in reply will say that ow- ing tu ttIe number of cattle now being offered from both Mexico and Lower California at figures far below yours 1t will be impossible for us to handle any from Northern Arizona again. It looks as though California feeders must depend on Mexican cattlemen for their supplies as long as they can be furnished at figures now mention ed. which, owing to their cheap labor and low taxation. will likely continue. So unless you can come down to about SS per head f. c. D there will be no use talking. Business is business, and it behooyes LIS to buy where we can do best. As for the class of stock, there is very little difference between Sono- ra cattle and yours. as they have been breeding up heir herds in the last few years. and steers averaging HOO pounds are offered on every hand down there.
 It hardly seems that any comment Is necessary. The Mckinley bill put a tariff of BIO on every head of cattle coming from old Mexico. The Wilson bill took it off.
 In Mexico, on ranches run by friends Of mine, they pay their men $s per Mexican money, and their grub costs an average Of s6 to SS per man month. Here we pay s35 and BIO per month and it costs Sl5 to $20 a month to feed them.
 Their lands are large grants and are fenced, which gives them absolute control of the range and wa ter, and makes the running expenses much lighter.
 Now ask any thoughtful reader if he expects to buy a pound of beef in the Los Angeles or San Francisco for | single cent less. In 1886 San Fran cisco butchers paid cents pound for fat steers in Williams and Flagstaff In 1893 they paid in the same places from II to cents pound. In 1886 choice cut of beet were worth from l7i cents in Los Angeles to P cents in San Francisco, and last winter found people in the same cities paying eX- lctly the same prices. Who gets the difference? Why, the middleman, of ,onrse Neither the consumer nor the producer is benefited by reduction in the cost of beef steers to the whole salers. WILL c. BARNES.

A Democratic Contributors Speculation
 A correspondent of the Chicago Re cord writes from Fairhayen, Washing ton, as follows:
 About year ago spent an even
 ing in the library of a New York bank CT listening to James j. Hill, the pre- sident of the Great Northern railroad as he described to half dozen mil
 lionaires the advantages of this town
 His words were very warm and enthu- siastic, although he is cold-blooded and practical man and not apt to all low his imagination to influence either his mind or his tongue. He predict ed for Fairhayen the brightest future of any city in the northwest. He said it had more solid bottom than any ether town on the line Of his railroad, and declared that before the end of tue century it would be the commer- cial and industrial metropolis of the state of Washington, because to use his own expression, the stuff Is there, everything that k rece>sary to make a great city, except money and labor, and our friends here are going to bring that in."
 These millionaires were just then forming a company to build furnaces and iron mills and to develop the coal and iron intereststs at Fairhayen.
 "A few months later l saw a mem Der of the party in Washington and asked how the Fairhaven enterprises were getting on.
 All gone to - was his some what startling reply.
 "How's that?" asked.
 "The blank, blankety, blankety. blank tariff. Do you suppose we are gong to buy coal and iron mines and build furnaces and factories while con- gress is passing laws that make it inn possible to run them? Under the Will son bill the Canadians can sell coal and lumber in Fairhaven cheaper than we mine and cut it there, simply be- cause they pay 75 cents day for Chi nese labor and we pay s3 to white men,
 One of my motives for coming to Fairhayen was to see how true that had been and to witness the effect of the new tariff upon the city which MT. Hill had so glowingly de- scribed. It may be said that he is a democrat, and one of the most liberal to the treasure chest of that party, He gave s25,0O0 to the democratic national committee in 1892 to help elect Mir. Cleveland, whom he has warmly admired, besides an equal amount distributed among the demo- cratic state and congressional commit tees in Minnesota and other north western states.
 ''Today in MT. Hills pet town the population has dropped from 6,000 to l 300 in less than q year. Half the stores and buildings are vacant, and there are several blocks in the cisy which haven't a single tenant and do not show the slightest sign of life. In other words, it is case of suspended All the stuff is here,n as Mir. Hill said, but at present prices and with free Canadian competition there is no use for any one to try to do business. So four of the five great saw mills, with a capacity of 100000 feet of lumber a day, are silent, and the fifth is running only for few days to fill an order from San Francisco for some special lengths of timber. The lumber camps are abandoned, and the Ioggers' cabins arc empty because the

they actually numbered 10000, and all
were plated with gold leaf. During my
stay in Siam some years ago l visited one
temple devoted to Buddha, a part of
which was carpeted with woven silver,

monks. Throughout the whole Eastern
world the finest of the temples and the
latest of the priests are those of the Bud
dhist religion, and though the faith may
be sleeping, it is by no means dead. l do
not know whether it is due to their re-
ligion or not, but the Buddhists of the
East are, in most respects, kind and
gentle one toward another. The Japan
csc people are the soul of refinement, and
you see many old faces which you would
not object to having among your ancestral

1t will be a surprise TO many to know
that there is strong Buddhist revival CO.
ing on in the japanese empire. The
church has been stirred up by the invasion
of the missionaries. and within recent
years Buddhist papers have been organ
lied, and the Japanese press is full of arti-
Giles about religious matters. A move
ment was started some time ago for the
establishment of a Buddhist theological
course in the Imperial University at Toxic,
and some of the priests would like to make
1t the state religion. They even talk of
sending missionaries to the United States
and also TO the Asiatic countries. including
China and Korea and India. Last spring

MAJOR BELLE REYNOLDS.
The Only Woman Ever Commissioned in the United

bers beautiful woman who seemed to
have scarce reached middle age, and Gen.

Rumors of war were already rife, and on
The anniversary of her wedding day the
North was thrilled with the news that Fort
Sumter had been fired upon. Mr.. Rey-
nolds, who. with three other young men
of Peoria, had some time before deter
mined TO be the first to enlist in case of
national peril, carried out this resolve, and
he was among the first four men enrolled
in Peoria, enlisting in the Seventeenth
Illinois three-months men, and was soon
ordered TO the front. In the following
August Mrs Reynolds decided to join her
husband. who was then in camp at Birds
Point, Mo. She arrived there on the 11th.
Three days later orders came to break
camp, and the steamer Chancellor trans

crossed and it's right hand uplifed among
them. There is little fence around it
and it was impossible for me to
make my own measurements. but the
priest told me that 1t was fifty-three feet
in height and that it is made of bronze
plates. which are so cast that they look
like one solid mass. This Buddha is more
than thousand years old--pr. at least. the
material of which it is composed has been
worshiped at Nara for that time. 1t was
originally made of gold and copper about
750 A. D.. but the temple containing it has
been burned again and again. and it has
been each time remelted and remade.
The other great Buddha is that at
Kamakura, which has been written about
by nearly every traveller who has gone to
Japan. 1t is another immense image. 1t
is not so tall by six feet as that of Nara,
and all travellers so far have spoken of it's
wonderful beauty and the peaceful content
shown in its features. l went out to see
it, and looked for the peace, but l couldn't
find it. | sat and gazed and studied, but

it did not believe in the religion which
he was trying to personify, or wondered
at the the time If. after all, he was not
mistaken.
Some of these Buddhist temples have
enormous incomes. There is one right
near the new temple l have described
which takes in about 100000 a year, and
this church has frequently raised in one
year from half million to a million dol
lars. 1t is known as the Nishi Hongwandi
temple, and it is wonder in the richness
of it's interior decoration. It has hundreds
of rooms walled with gold leaf, and it con-
tains hundreds of screens painted by the
old Japanese masters. A famous left
handed artist of Japan, Jngoro, did most
of the carving within 1t, and it is ceiled
in some places with black and gold lacquer,
and it's trimmings are of wonderfully
carved brass. 1t has a bell almost as big
as a small seaside cottage, and this is
rung by big log of wood. which is hung
outside of the bell to rope, and can be
pulled back so that it will strike the bell
on the rebound. 1t has one audience room
which takes nearly 1000 yards of mating
to cover it, and the brass lanterns which
hang from the great rafters of this room
are each as big as hogshead. This
church is one of the most liberal of the
Buddhisis, and during talk which had
with the priest found that his views were
very much the same as those Of Unitarian
