TIME FOR ACTION.

The time set for the irrigation con- gress to convene in this city is less than a month away. So far the peo pie of Phoenix have not exhibited the interest in the congress warranted by the great question involved. The problem of irrigation is one of superla- tive importance The future of Ari zona and many western states depends largely upon the favorable solution of this problem. In the four years that the irrigation congress has been in eX- istence the attention of the country has been favorably directed to the great need of the arid regions. There is a growing disposition in the country blessed by a regular rainfall to give aid to the inhabitants of the arid belt. The great value of irrigation has been made clear to thousands who, previous l to the organization of the congress, had but hay idea of the plan of reclaim | ing vast stretches of naturally rich
 
 tion favorable to the designs of the leaders in the irrigation movement. The movement, however, is but in it's infancy. There are many obstacles to be overcome. It will be seen by refer ence to the programme of the congress that questions of the utmost import anuc are to be discussed. Some of the men best known in connection with irrigation are to be here. The list of states to be represented is much larger than it was last year. New York and New England are to have
 good men on the ground. This fact alone attests to the spirit of helpful ness that exists in the east Not the people of Phoenix alone, but of all Ar
 izona, should be alive to the necessity nounced success. It was only as the
 result of persistent effort that Phoenix
 was decided upon as the place for hold
 ing this years meeting of the congress
 Other cities were anxious to entertain the congress. Much money was sub ' scribed in towns in the west where local pride is intense. Phoenix SC cured the honor without subscribing d cent. The merchants of Phoenix ought to get together and aid the loca committee of arrangements in every l way possible. The resources of the

OSCAR. ARBITRATOR.

The king of Sweden and Norway is the one potentate in the world who is qualified to act as arbitrator in such a case as the Venezuelan dispute. He is as unconnected with England as he is with the United States, has no interests in South America, is unprejudiced and unbiased and acceptable to all the three parties concerned
 King Oscar is a man who commands respect not because of his royal rank only, but also because he is a states man, a scholar and man of broad sense and prudent judgment.
 It is a sign of his taste for industry that apart from his royal cares he has found time to write considerable verse, complete an important historical TO- nance and finish what has been said to be the finest Swedish translation of some of Goethe's works that has yet of the royal family which was estab- lished in 1810 by the election of Mar shal Bernadotte, one of Napoleon generals, who reigned over Sweden as King Charles XIV. Both in Sweden and in Norway he is warmly respected
 and admired, and it is gratifying sign of his tact that he has been able l to do so much toward strengthening
 the bonds between the two divisions of his domain.

PROMINENT MEN.

Major Edward Scofeld, the govern or-elect of Wisconsin, is the son of a Pennsylvania farmer. At the age of fourteen he became printers "devil'' in a country newspaper office, later becoming a typesetter. He served through the war with great gallantry coming out as major. At the close of the war he went into the lumber busi- ness, and is now one of the most suc- cessful lumbermen in northern Wis consin.
 Dr. Carl Peters has returned to Lon don and is at work on his Rise of the British Empire from the Time of Queen Elizabeth" of which a Berlin magazine will soon publish the pre- l1mlnary chapter.

WEYLER'S DECLINING STAR.

General Weyler seems destined to emerge from the conflict in Cuba with out much reputation except for cruelty
 At a recent cabinet council the queen regent of Spain is reported to have said; ''It is my desire that the extraordinary and admirable sacrifices of the nation and the heroism of our soldiers may find their equal in the activity and intelligence displayed in the conduct of the war; This sounds like direct condemnation of Weyler and his methods. The latter probably knows good deal better than the qneen regent what the emergency de- to take the field and make an active campaign against Maceo has not un- naturally been construed as a sop to the national dissatisfaction with the progress of the war. It is no easy task to dislodge even an ill-equipped force in hilly country, but General Weyler doubtless thinks he may as well carry on a profitless campaign in Pinar del Rio as be recalled to Madrid for inac- | tivity and ineficiency.
 | The odds are against the Spanish in any such contest Weyler's forces out number those of Maceo perhaps six or eight to one, but trained rifemen who wait till they are attacked and then shoot from easily defended crags and thickets need not fear much from 1 the approach of an army, however big If the fight waxes too warm, they have only to retreat to another eminence or harass the enemy at the rear. They would be defeated overwhelmingly if they came out into the open, but Spain has not soldiers enough in all Cuba to corner them and compel them to submit. If Weyler could persuade all of Maceo's men to come together and decide the issue in a fair, stand-up
 battle, the rebellion would soon be
 over. But he never can get near enough considerable body of insur-
 gents to have a fight of decent pro- portions with them. That is why there is not more bloodshed in Cuba.

The San Francisco Call is advancing reasons why the federal government should establish bureau of mines and miDeralogy as a regular department of the civil service. In view of the vast extent of the mining industry and the gigantic sums involved, the idea is worth consideration. Governor Budd of California, says on the subject:
 "The suggestion that the mining in- terests of the country should be repre- scented in the cabinet by a minister is timely. 1 believe congress ought to create cabinet position Of that char acter. Agriculture is now represented in the cabinet, and the mining industry of the United States should have equal recognition. An act of congress is all that is needed to establish the proposed office. The duties of the minister might be extended to a control or SUI pervision of the whole coinage system of the government

The country at large should be opportunities for the fullest possible development of the irrigation idea Much may be done in the three weeks yet remaining for preparation. The reputation of Phoenix as a town of generous hospitality must be retained at all hazards. It will be a severe blow to the territory if advantage is not taken of the opportunity offered by the congress to advertise Arizona.

The purchase by the government of the old house in Washington where President Lincoln died makes public property of one of the most interesting places at the National capital. It is just opposite Ford's theater, in which the president was assassinated and whence he was brought to the humble dwelling where he breathed his last. A memorial association has filled the building with hundreds of reminders of the life and death of Lincoln, and nowhere else. it is safe to say, can such collection be found. Visitors to Washington should not fail to in- clude the house in their sightseeing for it's contents present a valuable les son in American history and it's asso- ciations make it one of the shrines o1 American patriotism.

VOTES THROWN AWAY.

Palmer and Buckner did not cut much of a figure in the recent election. Instead of voting for them en masse, as Mr.. Bynum of Indiana and other sound money Democrats prophesied they would, the great majority of anti Bryan Democrats stood by Mckinley
 From returns already in it is safe to say that the aggregate Palmer and Buckner vote in the country at large was far below any estimate previously made. In New England it approxi- mates 24,OO0; in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland it is 38,840 so far as reported. The 62,840, while the total vote of all par ties in the same states is put at con- siderably more than four millions. At the same ratio the total National Dem ocratic vote in all the states will be only about 100000. Reports of the re- suit from other parts of the country have little or nothing to say of the Palmer vote as rule, but in Ken lucky, where the Louisville Courier Journal enthusiastically supported the ticket, especial efforts were made to secure returns of it. In that state it seems to have boiled under 4,00O votes, even less in proportion than its strength east of the Alleghenies

also contributed literally toward the cathedral fund.
 Dr. Temple, the new archbishop of Canterbury, is, perhaps, the one man living who has refused to yield to the will of the emperor of Germany. When the latter was visiting England, says writer in the Boston Transcript, he sent a request to Dr. Temple to call upon him. The time of the bishop of London is always fully occupied. Ev- cry quarter of an hour in the day has it's appointed work. To make even a formal call on the emperor of Germany at time when, owing to his visit, pas |senger and vehicular travel was almost at a standstill in the streets of London means the giving up of nearly whole day, every minute of which was filled up with most important episcopal en- gagements. Actuated, therefore, by a high sense of duty, Bishop Temple de- clined to go, saying it was impossible for him to comply with the emperor's s request. The bearer of the message was thunderstruck at these words and said: My lord, neither I nor anybody else ever conveyed such an answer to the emperor of Germanyr' 'I cannot help it, said Bishop Temple, you must convey it now" And he never made the desired call
 Dr. John Saadi, of Tripoli, Syria who is about to become an Episcopal clergyman, spoke on missionary work in the east in St. Matthews Episcopal church, Boston, last Sunday. He has an honorable record of service in the British army, and wears the queens medal and the bronze star of the khe- dive of Egypt for bravery. He was brought up in the Greek church, but became an Episcopalian few years ago, and since then has been doing missionary work in Morocco. He speaks several languages, and is now translating the prayer book into Syriac.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE

Ayers Sarsapariiia enjoys the e1- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibft at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"
