A CITY TO MOVE.
The Inhabitants of OurO-PretO Grow
Tired of Its DiscOmfOrts.
From the New York Journal.


From the New York Journal
The greatest exodus that the world has
ever seen since the children of Israel lie
parted out OF the land of Egypt-nearly
$500 years ago-will soon take place In
Brazil.
All the inhabitants of city of over
10000 population, the capital of one of the
largest and richest states of that country,
WILL in a few days. abandon their homes
en- masse. What makes this wholesale ex-
odus more remarkable is the fact that
these 10000 people will move in a body into
a new city, which for two years has been
in process of erection for their occupancy.
and which is as yet untenanted, save by
the artisans and laborers who are putting
streets and the spacious public buildings
and private palaces.
The city which is on the point of being
thus abandoned to the wild beasts which
swarm in the forests about 1t is Ouro.
Preto, the capital Of the mining state of
Minas-Geraes, in the southeastern part of
Brazil. 1t was founded nearly two cent
uries ago by the gold seekers.
Ouro-Preto has been unique among cities
for several reasons; one being that 1t has
but a single street, and that several miles
in length. The town is built along
a narrow gorge in the mountains, known
as the Sierra de Minas-Geraes, a part OF
the mighty chain which rises far back
from the coast of Eastern Brazil. Though
IL lies some 5000 feet above the sea level
the air is always so damp that every~
thing not kept in air-tight cases becomes
widowed within a short time. There is no
such thing as a carriage of any descrip-
ton in this mountain city, and even riding
muleback is dangerous, for the single
street which twists and winds for miles
is probably the toughest in the world
there being but few level stretches Of more
than a dozen yards in all its length A
portion of 1t lies along a deep chasnn at
the. bottom of which roars one of the
mountain torrents. which help to make
the great Rio de Francisco.
Another remarkable thing about this
town Is fully half OF the inhabitants have
lived Of late years in the exhausted gar
leries which the miners have hewn out OF
the rock along the mountain side in their
search for gold. The other dwellings arc
perched at varying nights up and down

The long fight against Governor
Hughes, to effect his removal, cul-
minated Monday in the reception
BY Secretary Bruce of telegram
from the Interior Department
directing him to take charge of the
pfice of Governor until the new
Appointee, Col. B. J. Franklin
should be commissioned. Col.
Eranklin's name was sent to the
Senate for confirmation Monday.
Gov. Hughes had received no
notification Of bis removal until
TUESDAY,, and his only notice was
in the shape of a delayed letter
from Secretary Hoke Smith, stating
that if his resignation was not
autographed by Friday night last
be would be removed On receipt
of the dispatch Secretary Bruce
made a demand on the Governor to
turn over to him the Office, but this
the Governor refused to do, stating
that he would continue to hold the
Office until the Senate confirmed
Col. Franklin,
For nearly three years the fight
against Gov. Hughes has been
waged with every possible weapon
at hand or that conld be dug up or
formulated. Some months since
the hope of the opposition seemed
to have been abandoned, and the
denouement was . surprise to
everybody. Munths ago an agent
of the Interior Department came
to Phoenix and took large volume
of testimony concerning the Gov
ernor. Among the charges were
the use of his influence against the
Democratic nominee for congress
and in favor of the Republican
nominee, trying to influence legis-
lation. besides divers charges con-
cerning his conduct for years past
involving every phase Of bis charac-
ter for years. The immense mass
Of testimony has been before the
department for months. but
whether this testimony effected his
removal, or whether the powers
that be simply removed him on

The assault upon Coy. Hughes
lass Monday by r. J. Clark was
inexcusable. We DO not believe in
assaulting, in a mild way, every
man who .rosses our pathway. If
Q man crosses cur path hard enough
to justify US, in our own mind, to
go for him by physical force we
will do the job up in more effec-
tive style. If Clark had griev-
ance, which we know nothing
about, why didn't he turn the law
or o good six-shooter loose upon
him. We deplore such an occur
renee and every man in the terri
tory ought to whether he is friend
or an enemy of Governor Hughes.
Arizona as matter of fact seems
now to be synonym for all kinds
of do-as -please-condu:t.

general principles in order to get
rid of q nasty party muddle, has
not been announced. It is claimed
by those who oppose the governor
that the great family fght will now
be declared Of, but this Is not
probable, for it is not reasonable TO
suppose that the vanauished will
mix very readily with those who
vanquished him. 1t is high time,
however, that these pollticsl squab-
hles in Arizona should cease. They
can serve no useful purpose in the
material development and progress
of the territory or its resources.
Arizona has almost become q stencil
in the nostrils of the outside world
on account of the political quarrels
which seem to have occupied more
of the time of her citizens than has
the earnest, energetic development
of her unlimited resources. 1t is
the dcvout wish of all friends of
Arizona's best interests that we
will turn to and devote our .ner-
gies to the upbuilding of the
territory. There is no reason why
this should not be done. The new
governor is not identified with any
cl que or division of his party in
the territory; he Is a thorough JEFF
fersonian Democrat, q man of broad
liberal views, man with q clean
record as man, q citizen and an
official, man Of sterling integrity
in private life and in public, man
whose word means something, a
solid, substantial, reliable man,
who will use every effort, person
ally and as an official to advance
the best interests Of the territory,
and as such we believe it is the
duty of the people, when he shall
have assumed the duties of his new
Office, to stand by him so long as
he acts for the hest interests of the
whole people, SO long as he con
tinues in the paths in WHICH he has
heretofore walked in both private
and public life, in the direction Of
honesty, integrity, free from selfish
aggrandizement and hypocrisy
But for heavens sake let us have q
rest on this continual fight and
turmoil.
