Providence 3. Salem z.


The Grays had their hands full to give
Witches the throw down at Infantry hall
Saturday evening. Manager Carroll was
out for the game and this fact was soon
realized by Capt. Canavan and his men.
The Salems made themselves very familiar
with Mul Smith and Sword from the start
and were on speaking terms with the
Providence goal tender most of the time.
Dick Furbush, the burly witch, was in the
game up to his eyebrows and blocked the
Grays offence persistently and effectively.
He made three fouls, which lost his side
goal.
Griffin steadily fed the ball to Hipson,
and had the latter been as willing to turn
the ball over to his partner when he found
himself blocked, instead OF carrying 1t all
around the rink, to try for shots himself,
the Salems would have been more success

fairs, and they are earnestly and per- sistently advocating a number of much needed reforms that meet with the ap- proval and encouragement Of all good citizens, and will, we fee, certain, ere long prevail"
 Miss Minnie J. Reynolds, of the Rocky Mountain News, says:
 "The difference that equal suffrage has already made in the women of Col orado is astounding. They are so much more interested in the vital questions of the day so much better informed upon them; so much closer readers of the newspapers so much better talk CTS on subjects of importance, that the difference IS very remarkable to one who has been an observer of the whole change.
 "The philosophical writer, Lecky, in the second volume of his History of Rationalism in Europe, makes the re- mark in speaking of the educational effect of suffrage, that if suffrage should ever be granted to women, 1t would probably, in the course of two or three generations, change their whole atti- tude of mind and habit of thought. The intelligent observer in Colorado will not doubt the truth of Shat pro- phesy, for he can see the beginning of it's fulfllment already"

that as soon as possible the govern ment should be on a paying basis. To this end an extra session of congress will be necessary, and President Me- Kinley will undoubtedly call one soon after his inauguration.
 Legislation will be required to secure the desired revenue. and MT. Mckinley will do everything in his power to se- cure it, as we'll as the legal establish ment of policy which will tend to put everybody at work. In all this he hopes and expects that he will be backed by patriotic men, regardless of party lines:
 "As for myself, I am not after any office, and will endeavor to attend to private business affairs which need my personal attention"

Prehistoric Relics.
LGazette.l

Ancient ruins abound throughout this valley and adjacent sections of Ar. izona, there being the relics of canals, castles, fortresses, residences and other evidences of prehistoric civilization. With the canals the engineering must have been of superior character, as they course the country higher, thus covering 8 greater area than any of modern date. The ruins of buildings show a superior style and character of architecture, quite different from the modern, or even that of the Indians, who were the earliest occupants of the valley. There is much speculation as to who these people were and from whence they came, but it is more prob- able they came from China. as the rel ics bear close resemblance to those of similar age in the Flowery Kingdom. It is likely they crossed over Behring strait when it was frozen and drifted southward by degrees. establishing civ- ilized homes here, in Mexico and Peru, but later being crowded southward by warlike tribes that inhabited the moun- tain region. It is we'll established fact that people partake of the nature of their surroundings, so that those who live in the valley are inclined to be peaceful, while those from the mountains are moro warlike.

DIR. NORTON.
Gov. Franklin Makes Another
 Satisfactory Selection.
1Gazette.1

IGaZette
 The reappointment of Dr. Norton meets the approval of every stock grow CT in the territory of Arizona. It is a fitting tribute to young man, who with commendable enterprise has kept himself abreast of the daily discover ies in the field of his chosen profession,
 Dr. Norton was in May, 1895. serving the territory we'll as it's veterinarian. There was no cause for his removal. There never was any reason given for 1t. It was an outrage on the stock in- terests of the territory. The farmers and stock men of Maricopa county have lost at the most conservative estimate Sl00,000 directly, and this interest all over the territory has suffered more or less by reason of the removal of man who not only was capable and efficient, but who, in addition to his we'll known integrity, had a personal acquaintance with conditions, gained by constant work and hard study, that he could not transmit to any successor.
 Aside from the losses sustained by the stock men, the removal of pr. Norton cost the territory several hundred dol lars in increased expenses of the live stock sanitary commission. In addi. tion, the work of the commission. by reason of being deprived of compe- tent veterinary advisor, was increased many foid.
 Dr. Norton was not reappointed until ample time was taken to examine thor oughly into every phase of his official work during the time he was in the em- ploy of the territory. The protests against his removal by the entire sani- tary commission appointed by Cover nor Hughes were duly considered. The fact that every member of both houses of the legislative assembly, voicing the sentiment of thelr constituents, asked for his retention, had deserved atten- tion given it. The result being that the present executive needing the unani- nous expressed will of the people di- rectly and indirectly in the territory, recognizing deserving merit, again placed the veterinarians office in charge of Dr. Norton.
 The Gazette has always insisted that the office would find the right man, ,and we take great pleasure in adding that Governor Franklin, in doing the best possible thing for the stock interests of the territory, has pleased everybody.
 Dr. Norton's ability is recognized, and his friends are pleased to see him, as it were, vindicated. They are sure that he will reflect credit on the ap- pointing power.

JUDGE BAKER
Renders His Decision in the
 Prison Labor Case.


 Journal MinerI
 A dispatch from Yuma of Monday, November g, says that Chief Justice Baker had rendered decision in the suit pending before him. wherein the Arizona Improvement company, as pe- titioner, brought claim against M. J. Nugent. superintendent of the Terri toIial peniten tiary, respondent, for a writ of mandamus against the respon- dent, requiring him to furnish the pe- titioner ten convicts out of the Terri torial prison, for labor on proposed canal or water way Tn Yuma county. The application is based upon certain contract entered into between the Ter ritory, through it's Board ol Control, and the petitioner. The contract, in terms, provides that the petitioner shall have exclusive control of all the able-bodied male convicts in said prls- on, from the hours of 8 a. m. till p. ID. for the term of ten years, and that the superintendent of such prison shall furnish such convicts to the petitioner upon demand. The execution of the contract is admitted. The superinten- dent refused to comply with the request of the petitioner to be furnished with ten such convicts. An alternative writ of mandamus was issued, to which he answered, setting out number of req sons whn the final writ should not is- sue, two of which are deemed of con- trolling effect:
 First-It is claimed that the contract is invalid, because it is uncouscionable, negotiable and without consideration.
 Second-That the petitioner is en- deavoring to enforce private contract by thus proceeding. and that mandam. us is not the appropriate remedy Tn such case.
 The opinion rendered by the chief justice is voluminous, and in closing hs says of the act of the legislature which authorizes the leasing of convict labor, criticising the same as being impolitic, but the judiciary can only arrest the execution of the provisions of stat. ute when it plainly conflicts with some constitutional provision. It will not run race of opinions upon points of right, reason and expediency with the legislature. The act is, therefore, valid,
 The case then stands, that the peti- tioner has clear legal right to the en- ioyment of which an official duty is owing and denied to it, and there is no other plain, speedy and adequate rem edy in the ordinary course of the law.
 In such a case, to prevent the failure of simple justice, the writ will issue, and it is so ordered.
 The case will probably be appealed to the supreme court of the territory.

Woman Suffrage in Colorado.

Mrs. Susan Piley Ashley. President of the Colorado Federation of Women's clubs, expresses the following opinion :
 "Colorado women were granted the right of franchise less than two years ago, but even in thIs short time they they have made their influence tell for good, at least along the following lines:
 "Their attendance at the primaries and caucuses has had the effect of causing very many men to attend these meetings who for years had left this most important part of political work to the men least fitted to perform it.
 "Not only at the primaries, at the ballot-box, and as judges of elections have the women of the State (even those who opposed equal suffrage be- fore 1t became law performed their political duties, but they have as dele gates participated in political conven- tions. distasteful as this duty is to them under present methods, and have proven that unless candidates moral character is correct, he cannot carry the woman vote.
 "The recognition of their responsi- bilitY as factors in government has led the majority of intelligent women to study election laws and municipal af.

MRS. BRYAN.

The following expression In regard to the estinable wife of William J. Bryan is from the Rocky Mountain News:
 "Mr, Bryan's tribute to his devoted wife is one of the finest incidents oc- curing since the close of the campaign. During almost the whole of MT. Bry- ans extraordinary fight for the people, Mrs. Bryan was at his side, helping, advising and sustaining him. She was his comforter and counselor. No couple could have presented more perfect ex- ample of union. They passed together through scenes of frantic enthusiasm. They were the center of a series of popular demonstrations unequalled in the history of this country, Amid it all they preserved sacredly to them selves mutual confidence and help and love. However widely the waves might rage outside. none could disturb their serene harbor.

"IF YOU WANT A WIFE
Keep Your Eye Open for a Warm
 Bundle of Femininity."

The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D.D. discusses "The Young Man and Mar riage" ln the November Ladies' Home Journal. Marriage 10 a certain de- gree," he says, "a young man is to look upon from utilitarian standpoint. A good wife IS so much capital. She makes him to be- by kind of grace. great deal more than he IS by nature. She contributes the qualities needed Tn order to convert his vigor into safe as well as productive efficiency: She in- troduces, for instance, into his intel lectual nature that ingredient of senti- ment that intellect requires in order to be able to do it's best work. Heart and brain need to conspire in order to the attainment of the true, and without caring to assert that man is naturally heartless. any more than I should wish to assume that woman IS by nature brainless, yet heart in it's way is just as precious as brain in it's way, and woman, so long as she IS untainted by the passion of wanting to be 8 man, will be that member of the connubial corporation that will in particular con- tribute to the capital stock it's afec- tional element. Some women may re- sent this, but I would like to caution young men against cherishing matri- monial designs upon any woman likely to resent it. If what you want is a wife, and not merely housekeeper, you must keep your eye we'll open for a warm bundle of femIninity that will be to you in personal way what the fire on the hearth is to you in a physical way-a fund of tropical comfort that will keep the stiffness out of your thinking, the frost out of your feeling, and the general machinery of your life in condition of pleasurable activity"

MARK HANNA TALKS.
Says There Will Be an Extra
 Session of Congress.

The New York World says Mark Hanna gave it the following outline of what he understood to be President elect McKinley's general policy:
 "I have had comparatively brief con- vers ations with Major Mckinley since his election. This week I expect to meet him at Cleveland, and, as he has had time to think over matters, pre- sume he will have more details than I am at present aware of, But this much I know, he feels that he owes much to the patriotic Democrats who prefer principle to strict party line. Indiana, for instance, was unquestionably car ried against fusion by Democratic votes.
 "He recognizes the very great serv- ice performed by democratic and inde- pendent newspape during the cam paign.
 "Major Mckinley will endeavor to see collected a great national party that will give prosperity to the country. He expects and hopes that men of all shades of former political beliefwin be united to this end. have talked with some of the most influential of the old democratic leaders, and I am glad to say they are in accord with Major Me- Klnley's hopes.

THE SENATE.
Republicans Are Not in Com.
 pIete Control.

Republicans Are Not in COm-
 plete Control.
 A late Associated Press telegram has the following
 The next senate, 1t is believed, will stand Republicans A, Democrats B, Populists and independents 13. This table takes all states out of the doubt full column, placing Kentucky and North Carolina in the Republican coi- umn, as Senator Butler said to-day free silver Republicans probably would be returned by fuslonists, Delaware in the Democratic column, and Kansas and South Dakota in the Independent and Populist column.
 This will prevent the Republicans from taking control of the senate unless some of those who bolted the Republi- can platform at St. Louis should return. It is difficult 10 estimate the exact standing of the next Senate on the money question, owing to the new alignment of the parties in the recent campaign. The men who have been pronounced silver men have been SUD- porting the Republican platform and candidates, and pronounced gold men have supported the Democratic plat form and candidates.
 Perkins of California, Wolcott of Col orado, Shoup of Idaho, Garter of Mon- tana, Mitchell of Oregon, Wilson of Washington and..ClGTk and Warren of Wyoming have all voted for and SUD- ported silver legislation, and the course they will now take in the senate is alto gether problematical. Among the Democrats GoIman of Maryland. Smith of New Jersey, Murphy of New York, Faulkner of West Virginia and Mitch. ell ofWisconsin all voted against silver and yet supported the. Democratic par ty in this campaign. As no free coinage bill possibly could pass the house, this fact would influence voting in the seu- ate on the silver question, especially in the shape of rider to tariff bill. The probability is that on free coinage amendment to the tariff bill all forty four Republicans would vote against it and possibly some Democrats, such as Caffery of Louisiana, Gray of Delaware and Lindsay of Centucky, who bolted the Chicago platform, and perhaps even some of those who supported Bryan during tEe campaign. It is not unlikely that some Republican sena- tors who bolted the Republican plat form might take position which would permit tariff bill in which their con- stltuents are largely interested, be- cause of wool, lumber and lead ores, to become law. Senator Faulkner Dem ocrat) of West Virginia sad to-day that silver men. by standing solidly with the Democrats, could prevent tariff leg islation. Senator Butler, on the other hand, said he and others of the Popu. lists would support the right kind of 8 tariff bill, but not measure like the Mckinley bill. Butler wants adequate protection on raw materials.
