REMARKS ON OUR BIRTHDAY.
THE ARIZONA SENTINEL

The Arizona SENTINEL has enter ed upon its XXVK volume, or year of its existence. The SENTINEL, in age, is the second oldest journal in Arizona, the Weekly Citizen first, and the Weekly Star third. On the daily programme the Star is first in the Territory. During the twenty-six years of the publication of the SENTINEL Arizona has pas sed through many changes, but always progressive. The Territory has been under many political ad- ministrations. It has increased from population ofseven to ninety thousand American inhabitants. There were but few settlements in Arizona at the time of the SEN TINEL's birth; Yuma, Adamsville, Tucson, Prescott and Phoenix was beginning to bloom out from a stage station. There were not all-told five thousand acres of land under cultivation in the Territory, and not single public school or Protestant church, or fraternal organization. There were but three papers in existence, one which deceased, some twenty years ago.
 Now we have thirty-seven, includ- ing dailies and weeklies. During all this period the SENTINEL has not only observed all these strides of progress, but has been an active factor in the same. The Star wishes the Arizona SENTINEL continued prosperity, Hon. John w. Dorring- ton, long life and and happiness, and one of the most honorable and best salaried appointments McKin- ley has to give out to Arizona Re- publicans, for Col. Darlington has during these many years been one of the Gibralter Re- publicans of Arizona and has done as much as any one citizens to hold the old party to it's moor ings in the Territory.-TucsOn Star.

NEWSPAPER men are not morbid or especially dissatisfied with their lot, but it may be said that nine tenths of them outside of the large cities. if they would begin life over again, would avoid a printing office as they would a pestilence. They see and come Tn contact with more petty meanness than anybody else. They are swindled oftener, ten to. one. than anybody else; even those who pray oftentimes prey upon the newspaper man. Apprecia- ton for him as compared with what he does in and tor a com munity is reduced to a vanishing point, and accompanies his in come into a limit of nothingness. In addition to his capability as a writer when he possesses it, he must be a careful, painstaking and iudicious business man, and yet few people ever think of him in that light at all. He is expected to do thousand things with his paper that as a business man he knows would prove fatal and when he mildly declines people wants to know what newspaper is for They never suspect that it has a business end, which, if neglected, will bring collapse. ."-AlbG'sy Tri- bu2ae.

IF CaNvICTs DO THs WORK
Capital Will Hurry to Invest in This
 Big Cannal Project.

Attorney-General Wilson, has prepared the papers for an appeal to the supreme court from the de cision of Judge Baker, in the deci- sion. MT. Wilson holds that the contract was made without proper consideration and does not think that mandamus is the proper mode for tha enforcement of such con- tract.
 President Eugene Ives of the State of Arizona Improvement company said yesterday to a Re- pwbhcam reporter that he had made arrangements for capital to build the canal, the agreement being based on the contract entered into with the Territory for convict labor, and that if the contract holds, the building of the canal is practically settled so far as moneyis concerned. On the other hand if the case is decided against the company by the supreme court it is possible the stockholders will withdraw from the enterprise, as the promise of capital was given on the basis of the contract,
 The contract was made. during the administration of Governor Hughes who heartily favored the leasing of the. convicts. The pre- sent governor, however, is opposed to 1t.
 The projected canal is one of the most important enterprises in the southwest. The waterway will be ifty-fve miles in length and it's carrying capacity 50,000 miners
 
 inches of water, or one inch of water to two acres of land. The canal will commence at a point on the Colorado river thi-ty-five miles above Yuma, and will run in a southerly direction to the Sonora line. No dam will be required, as the canal at the head will be below the level of the river. It is estimat- ed that 100000 acres of land will be placed under irrigation by the building of the canal.
 There will be a fall at Yuma capable of generating 16,000 horse power which will be utilized in various places for lighting and other purposes.-RepubIican.

THE Phoenlx Repu6lscars pays the following just tribute to Chief Justice A. c. Baker:
 There is, perhaps, no court in the Territory that dispatches business with such promptiness as that over which Judge A. c. Baker presides. The criminal dockets of both the Terri torial and United States courts have been cleaned up in the short period of week. There have been twenty five cases tried, covering crimes from mur- der, rape, burglary and robbery, down to selling whisky to Indians. This morning at g o'clock the following prisoners will be sentenced: Jeff and Jack Hannigan, horse stealing; Abram Dinwiddie, petty larceny Romon Or tega. rape; H. L. Scott, assault with deadly weapon; Pete Lyons, burglary Tn the first degree, and Trinidad Mon tanyo, for burglary in the second de- gree. These cases belong in the dis trict court.

HeN. JAS. A. FLEMING has re- turned from Denver where he has been purchasing machinery for his copper mines near Globe. From the present development of the properties it would seem that MT. Fleming and hls associates were the owners of the biggest copper bonanza in Arizona. We'll, the Star hopes such will turn out to be ths fact, as they are the squarest lot of business men who ever plant ed their stakes in Phoenix. Dr. Fogd is MT. Fleming,s chief as- soeiate in this copper proposition. He is one of the most practical men in the Territory.-Star

THE SENTINEL has arrived at its twenty-sixth mile post and is growing stronger as each returning annual celebration goes by. It is one Of the oldest and best weeklies in the Territory as it always has been. The many newspaper friends of Hon. Jno. W. Darlington, its pro- prietor, extend the fraternal hand and wish him continued prosperity and that "good luck" that always comes from good judgment and an honest purpose.-Phoenir HeraJd.

Is PEARL BRYAN'S BODY
IDENTITY ESTABLISHED IN THE
TRIAL AT NEWPORT.
Failure TO Cross-Exnmine Witnesses
Has Set the Prosecution
to Guessing.

Cincinnati April 22-The trial of Scott
jackson, charged with numbering Pearl
Bryan, moved in a gallop today at Now
port, ny. Six witnesses were examined
in the forenoon ana four in the afternoon
The purpose of the examination in the
forenoon was to establish the Identity Of
the headless body found near Fort Thorn
as as that of Pearl Bryan and to prove
that she was murdered at the very spot
where she was found. The identity of the
body was strikingly proven by the abIn-
dant evidence that the bloody check dress
was Pearl Bryan's, also the shoes, the
stockings the hat and the blood stained
underwear.
"A peculiar feature developed today in
the policy of the defense to not cross OK
anime witnesses. The only suggestion of
an explanation of this policy is that the
defense OF insanity is to be set up.
All members of the Bryan family, OF
Green Castle, Ind, were in court today
TO attend the trial Mrs. Stanley, a sis
ter of Pearl Bryan. identified all the cloth
ing on the murdered girl. She also iien-
titled Jackson.

ON HIS REGULAR VACATION
Minister Willis Left Hawaii for No
Other Purpose.

Washington, April 23.-Touching the de-
parture of United States Minister Willis
from Honolulu on the 18th inst for the
United States, ii is learned that the min
lister was granted permission long ago to
take 60-days' vacation from his post
whenever he deemed the conditions war
ranted him absenting himself from the
islands. If his refusal to participate in
the ceremonies attending the celebration
OF the Hawaiian independence day Jan.
uary II last, has been made a subject Of
official complaint by the Hawaiian govern
ment the fact can not be confirmed here
Although Secretary Olney could not be
communicated with respecting the mat
ter, 1t is believed that If there has been
such complaint II has not yet reached
the state department, but remains to be
forwarded There is good reason for the
belief that the administration felt that
Willis had acted without proper consd-
Grafton in this matter In view of the fact
that the present Hawaiian government
has been officially recognized by the
United States government, but there Isl
no evidence that the subject has been the
cause Of correspondence between the two
governments and as to Willis return TO
Hawaii, II is probable that viii be left
10 his own determination.

Cleveland's name and adopted a resolu-
ton indorsing his foreign policy and the
appointment of southern men to cabinet
positions, but disappearing of his fnan-
cial policy.
The votes in the various stages of the
conventions proceedings showed the rel
ative strength of the two factions to be
about 1888 to 161 in favor of Captain john
ston and the free silver men and against
the democrats who, under the leadership
of Congressman Clark, hold to the finan-
clal policy of the national administration
The convention ended with the nomlna-
ton of Captain Johnston, who in a brief
speech accepted the honor and held out
the olive branch and was heartily met by
