Tucson has several days ago
raised Pima county's portion of
the money for securing the North
and South road. Florence raised
5000 the other day in two Or three
hours in 500 subscriptions. Mesa
has been pegging along with five
70 fifty dollar subscriptions and
has after laboring for some weeks
raised $500 or 5000. It should
not have required over five hours
to have raised the whole amount.
This is matter of absolute para
mount Importance to Mesa. Those
who want to advance the interests
of the town and surrounding
country cannot afford to allow this
opportunity to slip by. That the
money has not been raised in full
before this is a marvellous PROPOSE
tion and can be taken in no other
way than as positive indication
OF an apathe.ic condition of public
sentiment. But little time re :
mains in which to redeem our

The Territorial Council did we'll
when it without singing lullaby
put the Sunday Rest bill to sleep.
All those who love to keep the
"Holy Sabbath" should do so, but
when those who speak of the "Holy
Sabbath" mean Sunday they show
their eggregious ignorance of his
tory. In not one word or line of
the Bible, In which we all believe
of course, is there any sanction for
keeping Sunday holy. Christ never
gave his disciples the slightest hint
that they should keep Sunday, and
himself kept Saturday, the Sab
bath. After his crucifxion he
rested on the Sabbath, Saturday,
arose on Sunday morning, the first
day of the week, and went about
his work. Constantine, Pagan,
who cruelty murdered q number of
his own family, instituted and pro-
claimed Sunday as the day of rest
and worship. and even after this
centuries passed away before Sun
day was observed by the Christian
world. The Sabbathical edict of
Constantine was proclaimed A. D.
32l, and there is not a single proof
or indication that Sunday had heen
observed before that time. There

monarch let them do so, but let

land, which now comprises large
number of leading British states
men as we'll as many prominent
economic and financial writer's. has
evidently determined to undertake
an active and practical agitation
for monetary reform. Without
doubt it is considered that the time
is opportune. Notwithstanding the
large majority which the RoseLery
Ministry obtained against the mo-
tion relating to the Indian finances,
it is quite possible that on adverse
vote may bring about a dissolution
any day. In that event the none
tary question is certain to cut
large figure in the elections. In
recent speech made by Mr.. Balfour
to his constituents he gave more
prominence to the subject of bi-
metallism than to any other matter.
The significance of this cilcum-
stance lies in the fact that in the
event of Conservative victory
Balfour is certain to hold very
prominent position in the Govern
ment.
1t Was reported from London on
Saturday that the parliamentary
committee of the League had ap-
proved of resolution, which
Robert Lacey Everett will offer in
the House of Commons tomorrow.
The resolution is to the effect that
the House regards with serious ap-
prehension the present monetary
situation and heartily concurs in
the recent expressions on the part
of the Government of France and
the Imperial Diet of Germany re.
garding the serious evils resulting
from the demonstration of silver
The resolution, therefore. urges
upon the Government of England
the desirability of cooperating
with other nations in all inter
national monetary conference look
ing to the restoration of silver.
1t is not likely that this resolu-
tion will pass the House of Com.
mons if it is antagonized by the
the Ministry. Rosebery. however,
may conclude not to make the issue
a Government question, in which
case it would not be surprising if
the motion should obtain a ma
ljority. Still the Ministry may feel
bound to oppose the resolution, as
Mr.. Gladstone did the proposition
to reconvene the Brussels Confer
ence. That occurred on the last
day of February, 1893, since which
time there has been no attempt to
bring the question forward again
in the Commons.
The motion was made by Sir
Henry Thompson, Liberal U unionist,
and was strongly supported by Mr..
Chaplin, who was in the last Sails
bury Ministry. There was also a
speech in favor of the motion by
Samuel Montague, the banker,
prominent Liberal. Harcourt,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
Mr.. Gladstone, found it necessary
to take a firm stand, and Gladstone
made powerful speech, going to
the utmost extreme in favor of gold
monometallism. Nevertheless the
| motion commanded 148 votes in
small house.
If the resolution of the League
is presented tomorrow and if it
fails of passage the bimetallists
will not be discouraged. The
struggle is on in England as it IS

enson guilty of bribery in accepting
four baskets Of peaches from dealer.
The offense SENS trivial, but there are
a good many far graver charges against
Stephenson. He was tried on his one

sive here. What a change has come over
the spirit Of New York! A year ago
the conviction of police captain seem
ed as far beyond the range of possibili-
ty as the defeat of Tammany. Yet both
have been accomplished, and in both
cases the result was brought about by
the force of public opinion aroused by

A Floral Curio.

One of the greatest curiosities is the
snow flower that blooms in the north
ern portion of Siberia, where the earth
Is continually covered with a coating
of snow and frost. This wonderful
plant shoots forth from the frozen soil
on the first day of the year, and reaches
the height of about three feet; it blooms
on the third day, remains open twenty
four hours and then returns to it's orig
inal elements. 1t shines for a single
day, then the stem, leaves and flower
are converted into snow. The leaves
are three in number. The flower is
star-shaped, its petals about as long as
the leaves and about half an inch wide.
On the third day the extremities of the
leaves show little glistening specks,
like diamonds, about the size of the
head of pin. These are the seeds of
this queer flower. On one occasion some
of these seeds were gathered and hasti-
ly transported to st. Petersburg. They
were then placed in bed Of snow,
where they were kept until the first of
the following year, when the snow
flower burst forth and was greatly adj
mired and wondered at by all who saw

time we had nothing in the house to
eat. My daughter Rose came across an
old -four sack containing some stale bread
and crusts, which had been in the house
eighteen months, hard and dry as n bone.
BY pounding with hammer and soaking
in warm water, we were able to eat
them, while my son was away in search
of work. We have lived the past year
almost exclusively on bread and flour
and-water gravy. There are many in
this vicinity who are fully as destitute
as we are. Food and fuel are what we
are the most in need of. We can burrow
in the ground to hide our nudity and keep
from freezing, but it will not satisfy
hunger"
The letters which come from the af-
fiicted portions of South Dakota, Color
ado, Oklahoma and Texas are equally
touching. THE drought has left us with
out resources of any kind" writes X. !.
Benbow, of Gala, s. ID. MANY have left
the State, and many others have sent
away the most of their stock, as there is
no hay or straw with which to feed them.
Our crops were a complete failure, and
hundreds are living on bread and water,
and very little of that" And G. A. Yeo-
SIM of Burlington, Col, says: There is
an army Of destitute people in the east
ern counties of this State. Only fourth

lutely nothing in 1894. l heard of fam

Mrs. Mira Lamb, of Saltwater, Okla,
writes: "The people of this section have
suffered untold misery from the drought
which has existed for the past two years.
Being new country the suffering and
hardship here are greater than they can
possibly be elsewhere. Thousands are

The complacency of England and
Canada toward this country In the mat
ter of canal policies would be lovely IL
1t were not for future possibilities. Eng
land is as willing that the United States
should construct the Nicaragua canal
as it was that France and Egypt should
construct the Suez canal, which 1t now
owns. Canada offers permission to the
United States to take control OF the en-
tire system of Canadian canals and
keep them in repair. In both cases, that
of Nicaragua and that Of Canada, the
canals, after the United States should
take control, would be just as free to
British and Canadian commerce re-
spectively as they would be IL England
and Canada should be at the cost OF
construction and repair. They are per-
fectly willing that the United States
should pay all the expense Of the canals
for the joint use and benefit OF all par
ties concerned. 1t is remarkably edi-
flying display of international good ma
ture.

that thus far the membership includes

ORIGIN OF THE WORD CANADA.

Two DerivatiOns Are Given from
Which You May Take Your Choice.
There are many derivations given to
the word Canada, but the one given by
Sir John Brown is the most curious and
plausible.
when the Portuguese, under Cas-
par Cortereal, In 1900, first assembled
the great river st. Lawrence, they be-
lieved 1t was the strait of which they
were in search, and through which a
passage might be discovered into the
Indian Sea. But on arriving at the
point whence they could clearly ascer-
tain II was not strait. but n river,
they, with all emphasis of disapoint-
ed hopes, exclaimed repeatedly, Can
adav CHcre nothing), words which
were remembered and repeated by the
natives on seeing Europeans arrive in
1913, who naturally conjectured that
the word they heard employed so often
must denote the name of the country
The now generally accepted dcriva-
ton, however, which Is supported by
the analogy Of other names, is either
that given by Charlevoix. from the Iro-
quois Kaunata, n collection Of huts. or
from two Indian words, Kan or Can. a
mouth, and Ada, a country, signifying
the mouth Of the country. and presum-
ably originally applied to the River st

TIPS FROM THE EARS.

A Young Lady of Observation Says
There Is Much Character In Them.
IL don't know whether there is any
such science as aurology," said young
lady of observation, "but l find 1t
very safe and useful thing to take note
cf my friends ears. / haven't yet got
so far in my studies as to formulate n
fixed set of rules for the reading Of
character by the size, shape and convo-
ll:tions of these funny little head-han-
dies of ours; in fact, my studies have
been directed to one point-the top or
apex of the ear. There's whole world
of tell-tale indications there, and it
would be good thing If young girls
were to form the habit of casting a
glance at that part of the anatomy OF
their callers and admirers, and make
mental note for their own guidance
by what they see there.
IF the top of the ear lies close to the
head and the ridge is straight or only
gently rounded the young man that
owns that kind of ear may be counted
OH as being eminently proper and as
harmless as a lamb. But If the top
starts away from the head at well
defined angle and runs up to a point
before turning down to become the
back ridge of the ear-well, that young
man had better be kept at good safe
distance. That's the faun ear, the
satyr ear, and when those wise old
Greeks and Romans gave to the caper-
ing companions Of the nymphs or the
woods goat legs and goat ears they
knew what they were about. Men
haven't changed one whit, either, and
that point of the ear is just as full of
character and warning to-day as 1t was
when Bacchus was doing business ut
the old sign of The Rollicking Rams"

BY the wise and abundant provision

BY the wise and abundant provision
of the United States Government there
are now ON the shores of Lake Superior
some Of the wealthiest Indians-mean-
ing those who still cling to their tribal
relations-that can be found anywhere.
There are Indians, full-blooded Chippe-
was Of the Northern Wisconsin tribes,
who, by leaving their tribes and reser-
vations and learning practical meth
DDS Of business, have come into some 10
cal prominence as being well-to-do and
safe business venturers. But the num-
Der Is very few. The most surprising
fact Is that scores Of Indians, who still
cling to the traditions of their forefath-
ers, and who do not seem to have any
inclination to sever tribal relations, are
rich and do not know II. The govern
ment has taken a very wise precaution
I'm their behalf by clothing the Indian
agent with authority to act as guardian
to their wealth. 1t Is very common
thing to see credited on the books of
the Indian agent department, in the
government building at Ashland,
amounts as high as $4,000 or more to
some individual Indian. These are by
no means out-and-out gifts from the
government, although direct appropria-
tons of large amounts have been scat
tered among the Indians by the govern
ment agents. The long list of amounts
which now appear on the credit side Of
the ledger for some long Indian names,
appear there as the result of CONNER
cial exchange, to which the Indians
themselves and the purchasers of their
timber are parties, while the govern
ment, as third party, sees that every
thing is transacted properly. and that
nothing to the Indians detriment is
done. Timber on most of the fifteen
reservations under the supervision of
the In Pointe agency is valuable. This
tmber Is now being cut under the super
vision OF the Indian agent, and the cof-
fers Of the Chippewas are being filed.
