II CHER Authority.

When Sherman reached Atlanta,
he had much trouble in keeping back
camp-followers, suffers, women, GU
riosity-seekers, and so on. He gave
stringent orders that no one was to
be allowed to go to the front without
a specific order. Just about that
time a surgeon came back from a
furlough. He had passes through to
Atlanta, but at Chattanooga they re-
fused to allow his wife to accompany
him further. They had only been
married a few weeks, and he had
resolved that she should go with him,
orders or no orders. Accordingly he
dressed her as a soldier, and managed
to smuggle her on "a train. At
Resaca, she was stopped, her sex be-
Ing discovered. The officer of the
post absolutely refused to let her 60
on. The surgeon pleaded. Finally,
after appealing to the officers sense
Of mercy, he fell back on Scripture
"My pass allows one to go to the
'front.'" he said, @and Scripture says a
man and his wife are one"
Thunder" retorted the officer;
sherman outranks Scripture all to
blazeS in these times. -,

Paner-Covered Bullets.

In consequence of the enormous
initial velocity of the bullet in the
new Mannlicher rifle, and the result
ing friction and wear on the barrel,
it has become necessary to devise
some method preventing both of these
evils. The manager of the Govern
ment Laboratory at Thun, Switzer-
land, has consequently devised a
method of inclosing the leaden bullet
in a thin metallic covering, while
over this he places a wrapper of
specially prepared oleaginous paper,
which reduces the wear of the rife
barrel to a minimum, without inter
fering with the course of the bullet.

The English people generally, are living in the belief that the last import ant American election was that which gave US free trade president and con- gress in the fall of 1892. Visitors to England find them unaware of any change in the public opinion of Ameri- ca since that date. This is to be traced to the kind of dispatches which New York newsmongers have been supply ing to the London newspapers, in which everything that pleases the Eng fish and themselves is made of, while anything of "a contrary nature is treated as lightly as may be.

ARIZONA NOW IS SAFE.

In the breasts of the people of Will Hams long hath lurked a lust for fame. Not meager, local fame sought they, but fame as deathless and renowned as that accorded the heroes of Thermopy- lac. Riches they scorn, political ad- vancement they thrust away unto their rival city of Flagstaff In their dreams a very Parthenon rose high on Bill Williams peak, and within it's lofty, many-collmne halls stood mar ble scrolls that unto unborn genera tions should carry the tale of the city's historian. The first of these scrolls must now be chiseled, for the city's council hath done great deeds. Verify, at the new moon of lthe eleventh month in solemn concTave sa!te they and the city's herald next morn announced the dread edict-'Any female who appears upon a street, highway, bypath or lane within the city of Williams in the at tire usually known and termed as Mother Hubbard shall he deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished accordingly"
 Thus at a single bound hath high fame been attained, and abroad, from Milpitas to Kyrene, from Podunk to Swat will fly the renown of this Arizona citadel of virtue, lifting from the pub lie mind the cloud of misund derstanding thes hitherto has obscured the public view of the Sunset Land. No longer need our territory languish under cruel innuendo and barbed reference to ultra emotional cowboys and unrefned ADaches. It is known that in broad America is now one town where the hula-hula or the Fitzsimmons-Corbe mill could not find dates. To Williams all glory and to her lawgivers all hail It needs not even an anti-bloome1 ukase to magnify their fame.

BACK AT THEM.

In some states the effect of the po
 litical overturn of last week will be rather curious. Where one party has had control of a state as long as the Democrats have had in New Jersey, Maryland and Kentucky, the effect of a change is often uncomfortable to the old set of officials The exposure of mismanagement and waste in New Jer- sey, which followed the election of a Republican legislature, had a share in the defeat of the Democrats this year and when the executive departments are turned over to the Republicans there will be still further revelations. There are threats of general investiga- tions in Maryland and Kentucky, but no specific charges have been made in either state. As both these states have been managed on a very economical

Arizona asks statehood both as favor and as right. We are able to undertake its responsibilities and are anxious ito obtain it's advantages.
 Statehood means ito US Home-Rule- not only in choice of officers but in se- lection of policies. It means secure and permanent repudiation of riparian ism by incorporation into our organic law of the doctrine of prior beneficial appropriation of water. It means the power to check corporate rapacity and to fix railroad fares and freights at reasonable rates. It means utilization of school lands and increased facilities for the education of the children. It means the establishment of new in dustries. It means material progress. It means senators and representatives at Washington who will have votes with which to protect and promote our interests. It means all that the toga virilis meant to the young Roman; all that citizenship means to the waiting alien; all that liberty means to the sef. It means a larger influx of capital and population. It means higher prices for town lots and farm lands. It means plenty of money at six per cent per an- mum, instead of scarcity of money at one per cent per month. It means more reservoirs and iITigating canals, more orange and apricot orchards, more vineyards, more alfalfa fields, more railroads, more smelting furn- aces, and more and wider avenues of investment and employment in many directions
 In order to achieve statehood our Democrats will reluctantly agree tc abolish free wool, free ores, and free cattle from Mexico, and accept an in- creased duty on raisins; while our Re- publicans rather than that Arizona shall have no representation in the Unied States senate would be willing to see her represented by statesmen 1T butternut brooches.

basis, there has not been much room for peculation or jobs in contract work.
 In Maryland the Democrats find their own devices returning to plague the inventors. To keep the local gov ernment out of the hands of the black voters in the counties where they were in the majority, an unusual extent of power was conferred on the governor of the state. He has the selection of all kinds of county, township and school district officials, who elsewhere are elected by the people. All this patronage now falls to Governor Lowndes, and makes the office he is to i'll one of the most powerful in the country. There must be great temptation to him and his friends to conserve a system which enables him ito control the office-holders of even the Democratic counties. It will be their best wisdom, however, to abandon their exceptional powers as fast as pos sible, and to identify their party with the maintenance of that local self-gov- ernment which is demanded by our American ideals.
