Our Governor in Washington.

While in the national capital short time ago, Governor Franklin, while be- ing interviewed by Washington Post reporter. had the following to say about our territory:
 Arizona" said Governor Franklin. lis scarcely appreciated in the east, but it IS one of the finest countries in the world. The climate of it's southern part is semi-tropical, and in winter is as fine as Italy, Whitelaw Reid, who spent 8 portion of last winter with us, said that nowhere on earth had he expert enced a climate more delight tful and salubrious than that of Phoenix. We have beautiful and fertile valleys that will grow sweeter fruits than those of California, and which mature from four to six werks earlier. Our production of precious metals last year aggregated Sl3,OOO, 900, and there is one copper mine in the territory that is valued at S2O,- 100000. This season We shipped 22O, 900 head of cattle. There are 40,0O0,OO0 acres of grazing lands.
 "Two things are needed to start Ari- zona on career of prosperity second to no state in the union. We should be granted statehood. and the government Should build big reservoirs so as to con- vert our arid lands into fertile farms. This is legitimate and just. for 1t is no more than the expenditure of govern ment funds on the improvement of rlv- CTS and harbors. Statehood is our right and all our people demand 1t wlchout regard to party"

Improvement i'm Business.

R. G. Dun & Co. say in their weekly review of trade: A great revolution has been effected this week in the condi- tions which control business. It could not be, in any fair degree, reflected as yet in transactions or on records, but there is ample evidence already that 8 crushing weight has been lifted and rolled away, and the business world has adjusted itself to 2 state of freedom and security which it has not known for years, and new contracts involving many millions have become binding since election.

SONG OF THE BURDEN BEARER.
tWeekly Witness l

Weekly Witness Over the narrow footpath
 That led from my lowly door, Iwent, with thought of the Ma ter. As oft had walked before. My heart was heavily laden.
 And with tears my eyes were dim, But knew I should lose the burden, Could I get glimpse of Him. Over the trodden pathway,
 To the fields all shorn and bare, went with step that fsltered, And face that told of care. had lost the light of the morning, With it's shimmer of sun and dew. But 6 gracious look of the Master Would the strength of morn renew. While yet my courage wayered, And the sky before me blurred, heard voice behind me
 Saving tender word. And I turned to see the brightness Of heaven upon the read, And suddenly lost the pressure Of the weary, crushing load. Nothing that hour was altered, had still the weight of care But bore it now with gladness Which comes of answered prayer. Not grief the soul can fetter, Nor cloud its visions when The dear Lord gives the spirit To breathe to his will. Amen.

The Messiah Disappeared.

About half a century ago, says the Chi
cago Times Herald, a queer religious i'm
poster of the Schweinfurth stripe invaded
the southeastern part of Ohio and for sew
eral months created a great deal of ex-
element throughout that section. Several
well-to-do farmers gave all their earthly
possessions to the new messiah" and he
soon became the center of quite large
colony of deluded followers.
One moonlight night in June the mes
siah" was sitting on the veranda of his
Ohio heaven" smoking pipe-for he con-
sdered it not beneath his dignity to en-
joy the pleasures of this life as he went
along. A shrewd, hard-headed old farmer
who lived a mile or two down the road
came shutting up the walk and respectfully
doffing his straw hat said: Good evenin',
mister"
81 salute you, brother" responded the
messiah" without rising from his seat
or ceasing to send the tobacco smoke up
ward
you'll excuse me, mister" continued
the old man, but my folks have taken
quite an interest in you and my wife is
dead set on standin right by you through
thick and thin"
"Amen!' calculated the messiah"
"Now, see here" added the farmer.
I'm a good deal worried about this thing,
and l want you to give it to me right
straight"
Yea, verify brother, that will do"
replied the smoker.
well, how about ali this, anyway? Is
it true that you can perform miracles
turn water into wine, heal the sick, walk
on the water and do such things as that?"
Yea, verify
you amt jokin?''
May brother"
and you can really do it-no mistake
about it?"
Nay"
Well" remarked the farmer, I'm
mighty glad of that. You'll have the
greatest chance of your lifetime to con-
vert whole crowd of scoffers tonight
A lot of the boys are gettin' together
now, and they'll be up here in few min
utes. If you're dead sure you can walk
on the water you can convert the whole
gang, for they're goin to take you down
to Bascom's mill pond to see you do it.
But, of course, if you have any doubts
about it, you know, they won't be here
yet for about quarter of an hour"
The caller bowed and went away. The
smoking suddenly ceased. And the mes
siah" disappeared about as SUDDENLY as
his last puff. Two years later he was
heard from in Pennsylvania, but he never
revisited Ohio. The mystery of his sud
den departure was unsolved for many
years, but one old Buckeye farmer always
chuckled whenever the subject was men
toned.

A Poor IIIustrntinn.

While travelling in Switzerland, says Tit
Bits the elder Dumas one day arrived in
a lonely village with only one inn, at
which the famous novelist was compelled
to put up for the night.
When the landlord, who only spoke
German, came to inquire what he would
take for supper, Dumas tried, but in vain
to make him understand that he wanted
some mushrooms. and was on the point
of giving up, with a bad grace, all hope
of enjoying his favorite dish, when he hit
upon the idea of taking a piece of char
coal and tracing on the wall what pur-
ported to be the correct outline of a mush-
room.
The landlord went out, and Dumas was
congratulating himself on the success of
his happy expedient, when few moments
afterward he heard the Swiss coming up
the stairs. The mushrooms could hardly
have been prepared in so short a time. but
this thought did not occur to our great
novelist.
The footsteps came nearer; there was
knock, and in walked the landlord-with
an umbrella.

Grain Shipments From savannah

Grain Shipments From Savannah.
Now that Savannah has a direct line
of steamships TO Europe. and has assur-
ances that ocean freight rates from her
wharves will be as low as those from any
other South Atlantic port, it is reasonable
to expect that the Central of Georgia and
the Savannah Florida and Western rail-
ways viii take steps at once to bring gram
here from the west for shipment abroad.
We have called attention many times to
Savannah's advantages for handling grain
cargoes. In view of the fact that grain
can be shipped at very low rates of freight
in cotton laden ships. there is no reason
why the grain shipments from Savannah
should not amount to many millions Of
bushels annually.
Two or three years ago, when the Morn
ing News urged the shipment of Florida
phosphate rock through this port there
were those who said that there was very
little probability of any phosphate COM
ing this way, on account of the long rail-
way haul. They were mistaken. The
amount of phosphate now shipped from
Savannah annually is very large, and is
still increasing. Much of It is taken in
cotton laden ships, and, consequently, it
is carried at a very low rate of freight.
What has been done in the way of in
creasing exports from New Orleans can
be done here. Indeed, Savannah has adj
vantages superior to those of New Or
leans because she is in a position to COM
mand lower freight rates and can get a
lower rate of insurance on cargoes.
From Jan. last to Sept. /. there were
shipped through New Orleans 100000
bushels of corn. In the same period there
were shipped through New York only 49,
100000 bushels. In the month of Septem-
Der the shipment of wheat through New
Orleans amounted to COS 9SS bushels. The
previous September only 1900 bushels were
shipped. The gain in one year was enor-
nous. But grain is not the only western
product that is going to foreign markets
through New Orleans. In September the
shipments of lard amounted to $500 900
pounds, as against 5000 pounds, the pre-
vious September, and for nine months in
Guiding September, the amount shipped
was 100000 pounds, as against $4,000
pounds, for the same months in 1895.
There is life on the levees at New Or
leans. Owing to the energy and business
sense of her business men and railroads,
the commerce of New Orleans is growing
to enormous proportions. 1t will grow
here if our business men and railroads
will but make the most of their opportu-
mites.

PER ONAL.

Major Edward Scoheld, the governor
elect of Wisconsin, is the son of a Penn
sylvania farmer. At the age of fourteen
he became a printers devil in a coun-
try newspaper office, later becoming
typesetter. He served through the war
with great gallantry coming out as a ma
jor. At the close of the war he went into
the lumber business, and is now one of
the most successful lumbermen in North
ern Wisconsin.
when is a woman old?" has been ask
ed of the leading actresses in Germany
Jenny Gross takes to the usual refuge
that "a woman is as old as she looks. ."
Frau Nuscha Butt thinks "a woman is
only old when she tries to make herself
young again" Marie Pospichil declares
that 'as long as a woman believes in youth
and clings TO her youth she appears young
even when she is not really so;' and Marie
Reisenhofer considers, somewhat OBJ
scurely that woman is old when she be-
gins to love reason and finds no love in
return
If Senator Morrill, lives to the end of
the term which he is now serving-that is,
till March 8, 1S97-he will have served five
fun terms in the Senate, which no man
has yet done Many people think that
Thomas II. Benton served for five full
terms, but this is not a fact. Benton
served from the time of Missouri's admis-
sion to the union until March 3, 1851; but as
Missouri did not become a state till Au-
gust, 1921 it is seen that Benton did not
serve for five full senatorial terms.

Remedial BiIIs Must wait.

The republicans do not expect that they
win be able to get any financial or reve-
nue. measures through the present con-
gress Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island,
one Of the leading republican senators,
says that the composition of the Senate is
such that it would be a waste Of time
! to attempt to pass tariff or a financial
! bill There are ffty-one senators who
supported Mr.. Bryan, and, in his opinion,
they are not going to condemn the views
that were expressed in the Bryan cam
paign
Soon after the election it was thought
by many that it would not be a difficult
matter to get the Dngley bill through the
Senate. 1t has already passed the House.
The nearer the time for the meeting of
congress approaches the clearer it be-
comes that that bill cannot be passed.
The session contains only about fifty
working days, and therefore great deal
of time cannot be given to any one meas
ure without neglecting apparently other
very Important matters. The appropra-
ton bills must be passed They will oc-
cupy pretty nearly all the time of con-
gress.
But outside of the difficulties in the
way of tariff and financial legislation,
the republicans are not anxious that the
Dingley bill should be passed From their
point of view, If that bin should be adopt
ed they would be virtually prevented
from revising the tariff in the next con-
gress, because there would be such little
complaint of the existing tariff that they
would have no excuse for disturbing it.
Senator Aldrlch, however, says that
the next congress will undertake to pass
a tariff bill and also to reform the cur
rency. In the first place it is not yet
certain that the republican party will
have sufficient control in the Senate of
the next congress to enact such revenue
and financial legislation as would be in har-
mony with its platform. If the sound
money senators have majority it will be
a very small one. Some of the republi-
can silver senators may be willing to act
with the republican party in passing a
tariff bill, but they could not be depended
upon to assist in passing a currency re-
form bill that would have a tendency to
check the agitation in behalf of silver.
The republican party cannot afford to
waste any time in beginning the work of
reforming the currency. If that reform
is to be brought about through a commits
sion the commission should be appointed
by the present congress. If a satisfactory
currency reform measure is adopted by
the next congress at its first session, the
silver agitation will practically cease. AS
far as the tariff is concerned, there is no
great demand for any radical changes in
it. A small tax on sugar and a slight ad-
ditional tax on beer would fully cover the
deficiency in the revenue. The present
congress, probably would pass bill con-
tanning the foregoing suggestions. The
currency question is the one that is going
to give the republican party trouble, and
the sooner that question is taken under
consideration the better it will be for
that party.

Cautious Magistrate Mott.

john w. Gates, president of the Illinois
Steel Company, who dropped his pocket
book containing 5000 on the floor of the din
ing room of the Hotel Waldorf on Friday
evening, was in Jefferson market court
yesterday morning to make complaint
against Ludwig Gruesendorf and Fritz
Brumeer, the walters, who found it and
Kept SS99 of the money, says the New York
sun. The men pleaded guilty. Magistrate
Mott committed them to answer, and De-
tective West of the Waldorf asked the
court to instruct him to return the money
to Mr.. Gates, who required it to use at
once.
Il shall do nothing of the sort" replied
the magistrate. 1T is not so long ago that
one of the old justices was sued for 81, 900
for making such an order, and l am not
going to lay myself liable to suit for this
money any time during five years. The
money must be held until the case is tried
and If those men are proved innocent the
money must go to them
But they admit taking it," said West
Il don't care anything about that. I've
told you l Will not direct it's return, and l
mean what I say
The peculiar part of the case is that Mr.
Gates had received his money back on Fri
day night after the walters were arrested
But when they were taken to the station
house Police Captain Chapman told De-
tective West that they would have no
case unless they got the lost money and
pocketbook for evidence. Detective West
then went back to the Waldorf hotel, ex-
planned the circumsta nces to Mr.. Gates,
and said
wen need the money and pocketbook
for evidence in court; will you lend it to
us, and tomorrow the magistrate Will re-
turn it."
So, to be accommodating, Mr.. Gates
handed over his pocketbook and the mon
ey.

Idle Regrets.

What shall we care for the roses you
spread
Ger the tomb where we sleep when our
senses are dead?
What shall we care for the words that
you say
When our forms are released from this
world of decay?
They'll be but as brass in a washing of
gold,
They'll bring no response from the lips
that are cold.
What shall we care for the praises you
sing
When the sound to the deep of our graves
cannot ring?
What shall we care for professions of
pain
When in life we encountered but looks of
disdain?
They'll be but as brass in a washing of
gold,
They'll bring no response from the lips that
are cold.
What shall we care for the words of regret
When in life only words of unkindness
were met?
What shall we know of the eyes moist with
tears?
They'll brighten no life, they'n tighten no
fears.
They'll be but as brass in a washing of
gold.
They'll bring no response from the lips that
are cold.
We deeply would plead from the lips that
would say
A word of encouragement, speak 1t to-day.
And is there a blossom of love you would
spread?
Then spread 1t to-day, ere our senses are
dead?
And give us grave in a walling of clay
Whose brightness will clear when the dirt
fan away.
