Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March le.--Representative

benefit of every veteran soldier I'm Indiana
who has suffered through the arbitrary rui-
ings of the Pension Bureau. As Is well
known. all bills for pensions must be re-
ported from the invalid pensions committee,
and IL has been the rule for many sessions
of Congress to set aside every Friday even
ing for the exclusive consideration OF biils
from this committee Unfortunately. the
temptations OF social life in Washington are
SO strong that very few members ever at
tend these Friday evening sessions There
Is rarely quorum OF members present, even
though the number necessary 10 make
quorum has been greatly reduced for this
particular evening. Hence. 1t is always In
the power of some Southern Democratic
member to block all such pension legislation
on Friday ejening by raising the point OF

taken of this indifference on the part OF
members to attend the meeting. II Is Ar.
Overstreets plan to organize strong move
ment among the friends OF the old soldier IN

usually to the appropriations Hence. Mr.
Overstrset hopes 10 be able to persuade Mr..
Reed to let the invalid pensions committee
have the day. There would then be a quor-
um present, and meritorious bills from his
committee would have chance for enact
ment. anu 1t would be no longer In the pow

HE MUST BE STiAUNCH.

When MT. Mckinley takes up the question of Governor F;1.anklin's sue cessor he will be expected by the sound money Republicans of this ter rltory to name a man who has helped
 bear the brunt of the sound money fight here. He will not need to look far to find such man. There are plenty of Republicans who have lived long enough in Arizona to be- come thoroughly identified with it's in- '1erests who are well qualified to assume the duties of governor. In the campaign just ended many Repub- licans ranged themselves on the side of Bryan or failed to exert their in- f1uence against the policy of repudi- al1ion. There is no doubt that MT. Me Kinley will be furnished with list of the aspiring, but weak-kneed Republicans of the territory
 The next governor should be one who had the courage to stand squarely on the St. Louis platform. All trimmers who may apply for the
 position should be turned down. No man is fit for the honored position oi governor of Arizona who either does not possess convictions or possessing them, has not the courage ito stand by them. We want tried and true Re publican, net one who has nothing be- yond his ambition to recommend him

THE LESSON IS PLAIN.

The failure of the East India wheat crop is due to an unusually dry season. Much of India is irrigated and has been for centuries, but ldhere are large areas yet depending altogether on the rain fall. Lord Lamdsdowne, British secre- tary of state for war, addressed large meeting at Leeds, which is the center of the woolen industry, on Tuesday, and after speaking feelingly of the suf- fering in India occasionsd by the crop failure, and of the enhancing price in the English market as a consequence of it, said that it now becomes the duty of Great Britain ko enlarge the irri- gation system of India to such an ex- tent as to insure ample wheat crops, both for the supply of India and Great Britain. without dependence upon the casualty of rain. se5
 England's policy has for some years past been directed towards securing a sufficient food supply from her own colonies. She is now intent upon that policy more than ever before. What is the lesson for America?
 We have ito contemplate the probable loss at no distant date of the English market for our surplus grain. Where shall we find new ones? Is it not es- sential that we set about re-estahlish- ing reciprocity with Germany, Spain, | Central and South America and all the wheat importing nations? The bad work done by the Wilson German bill
Arizona republican., 1896-11-08

must be rapidly undoneb and reciproc- tty restored.
 That is one thing; and another is the resuscftal;ion and enlargement on the widest scale of our home market To do that the manufacturing industries must be created, encouraged and de- veloped to the fullest extent. The manufactured articles now imported in enormous quantities can be made here and ought to be made here so that there may be employment and wages for millions of workingmen. That is the home market we want, and the way to get it is by sensible protection. That is a plain proposition. We cam not build up and develop vast new in dustries or maintain the old ones if we import without restriction the articles made by labor paid at rates far lower than our own artisan can or ought to receive.

PORTER ON GRANT.

The time has come now with Grant as it came with Lincoln, when every daIail of ihis early life that can be res cued from memory is found ito be of interest and value to the public. Grant and Lincoln are the two names in the late civil war tihat possess an inex- haustihle interest for llhe people, and the Gantslry in beginning this work of detail in unaarthing all that can be told about General Grants early life is only yielding ito the demand which is now universal. Every daail in re gard to Grant is of deep interest, and the papers which General Horace Porter is now contributing to the Gen. tury are certain to be received with great inlterest and satisfaction. They relate to matters which have escaped the observation of others.

Phoenix is rapidly filling with peo- pie from less favored regions. Each incoming train brings heaidh and pleas ure seekers from the east and middle west. The winter season promises to be one of unusual activity. It must be apparent to every person interested in the welfare of Phoenix and the Salt River valley that the advantages of this region require persistent advertising. Most of the people now coming here have been here before. In order to swell our permanent population we should blow our horn vigorously The Republican is doing its best to interest outsiders in Arizona. It will do much more in the next few months as it's mechanical facilities improve. If you know of people in the east who may be influenced to come to this land of sunshine send them The Republican.

JONES AS SEER.

We have already referred to Baron Munehausen Jones's powers of predic- tion. After scanning the estimate he prepared just before the election, we acknowledge that injustice has been done him. He is a seer, pure and simple. Just listen to him:
 q have received from the chairman of each of our state committees full estimates of the standing of voters in each state, and ann confident that MT Bryan's election is assured by a very large majority. He will carry the fol lowing states: Alabama, Arkansas California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, M.nne. sota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah Virginia, WaShing ngton, West Virginia Wyoming ng-wibh their total vote of 25s electoral votes. In the following states 1 look upon MT. Bryan's chances as ths best: Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio Wisconsin total of seventy -fivt electoral votes. Hhere are other states I regard as doubtful
 After the returns were tabulated i was found that MT. Jones was .only "shy" about nineteen states. Such ( marvellous insight into the future i. seldom exhibited. Jones's place is ir Wall street.

MEN AND THINGS.

Reuben D. Moss, who has just died at his home in Elmira, IN. Y., was a lineal descendant in the sixth gen. eration from John Moss, who settled in New Haven, Conn.,, in 1889, and who was signer of the original compact" and representative in the colonial legislature On his mdlher's side he was descended from John Howland, who came over in the Mayflower. MT. Moss was a druggist in New York in 1842. Originally a WIhig, he joined the Republican party ait its formation and never wavered in his fealty to it.
 It was often said of M. Adrien Leon, who has just died near Bayonne, France, that he saved l,he republic by a single vote. On February 27, 1875 when the remodeling of the constitu- tion was debated, M. Wallon's amend ment fixing the conditions for the election of the president was regarded as I5he crucial test on which the fate of F'ramce depended. Leon, sitting in the right center, hesitated, but was persuaded by Gambel1ta to support the Republicans at the last moment; and the amendment was carried by a ma jority of one.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain I showing of their goods, but. they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums.
