THOUSANDS TO VISIT PHOENIX
The Success of the Great Carnival As sured-Elaborate Decorations
 Have Already Been Made.

For the first time in the history of Arizona it's great resources have been held up to the public gaze. What it's future may be, time alone can tell. Its citizens are the most generous hearted and public-spirited; it's min Ing resources are practically in their infancy and thousands and thousands of acres of its present arid waste will yet blossom into fertile fields, the fra grant aroma from which will attract hundreds of energetic and industrious people from every part of the globe. The products of the great Salt River valley are appreciated and anxiously sought for in all the great western markets.
 But the veritable Eden of all this fertile valley is adequately expressed in the euphonious name of Phoenix.
 Around this beautiful sun-kissed princess of the desert is a halo of pleasant recollections which has be- come so indelibly stamped upon the wax of memory that it yearly attracts thousands of tourists and pleasure seekers to make their winter home in our genial cline.
 But in dwelling upon our great nat ural resources, we must not lose sight of the fact that the general and even tempered climate with which Phoenix

and vicinity is blessed makes it one of the most delightful health resorts during the winter season to be found anywhere.
 And each season finds our hotels and health resort taxed to their ut most capacity to accommodate visitors who are seeking to regain lost health.
 Many come here for the sole purpose of being relieved from catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, throat and lung troubles of all kinds.
 And it is quite frequently the case that invalids while here find them selves in the need of an expert special ist to assist nature in helping them to regain their failing health.
 Dr. Price & Co.,, No. 32 South Second avenue, Phoenix, Ariz., are the most celebrated and skilled firm of special ists upon the Pacific cast.

AS a representative of The Republi- can was walking east on Washington street yesterday morning the outer ap- pearance of the building now occupied by the Keystone Pharmacy, situated opposite the city hall, No. 11S and .120 East Washington street, struck him as being very fine and he concluded to take look at the interior. After making himself known, being almost stranger in the city, the proprietor, Dr. R. Waldin, who is justly proud of his new store, courteously showed him through. The store room occupied by the Keystone Pharmacy is the largest one in the city and the doctor has neither spared time or money in mak- ing it one of the most complete and conveniently arranged drug stores on the Pacific coast. Besides having the largest store, he carries large and complete line of the best and freshest drugs at reasonable prices. Dr. Wal din, proprietor of the Keystone Phar- macy, is a graduate of the Chicago col lege of pharmacy and was for several years connected With Buck & Raynor
 druggists, corner State and Madison streets, the principal drug store in the city of Chicago. Coming here with his family about four years ago on ac- count of his health, he purchased the store at No. 216 East Washington street, and continued in business in that location until his large and con- stantly increasing patronage com pelled him to seek larger quarters
 The proprietor of the Keystone Phar- macy employs nothing but registered | pharmacists and clerks in his store re- gardless of the lax condition of the laws of the territory regarding such matters, believing as he does that the best and most accurately filled pre- scription is none too good for his cus- toners. The clerk has sleeping apart ments in the back part of the store and can be called at any time during the night by ringing the electric bell | from the front. The doctor extends a cordial invitation to the public to come and see his new store whether you want to make purchase or not and a | special invitation is extended to Chi cago people stopping in the city.

The removal of MT. Astor, proprietor of the Pail Mall Gazette, from Amer ica to England did not crush out en- tirely his feeling of love and respect for his native country, it seems. It is given out that the reason for his re- cent discharge of the editorial force on his paper was that they indulged in disparaging remarks about the United States. It is reported that an Ameri- can will be placed in editorial charge of The Gazette.

It seems that the new process of picturing with the cathode rays. the new wonder of picturing through sub- stances opaque to ordinary light. is not photography at all; it is printing a shadow. The object to be represented is placed between the light and the sensitive plate. The rays neither re- fract nor reflect. Hence shadows only can be taken, and they of full size. Photographs are taken by light re- 1ected from the object and reduced or enlarged by the use of lenses that re- fract or bend the rays. In the new process the plate is put close behind the object.

When Mr. Cleveland became presi- dent of the United States the last time the National debt had been reduced to $590,000,00O. This was largely the work of Republican statesmanship. Since that time the debt has been in creased until now it is rising a billion dollars, yet in the face of these figures our Democratic free trade exchanges insist upon lauding this phenomenal debt-maker.

It matters not how many party Orga- nizations there may be, there can only
 be two parties when it-comes to the consideration of questions of great public concern, because there can be but two sides to such questions right side and the wrong side. While there are nominally three parties rep resented in the present congress, there are really but tWo-those who stand for the people and the restoration of silver, and those who favor Wall street and the money changers.

THE NATIONS MILITARY DE-
 TENSE.

Several bills have been introduced in congress to promote the efficiency of the National Guard It is proposed largely to increase the federal appro- priation for the equipment of the guard in the states and territories, to assimi- late it more nearly with the regular army, making it more National in character, and to use the regular army officers for the instruction of the guard wherever organized.
 The reserve militia of the country, that is to say, the able-bodied men be tween the ages of IS and 45, numbered 13, ,23e, ,16Ss at. the time of the last fed eral census, and the total organized National Guard is only 114,O0O, which is but the merest fraction of the arms bearing population.
 Considering that the regular army of the United States consists of 1882 men, including all branches of the ser- vice, the organized National Guard is extremely small even as a school for the soldier. Every other nation has a larger military establishment than ours, and some of them are colossal in comparison. There are more con- missioned officers in Russia than there are officers and men and non-com- commissioned officers in both Franco and Germany number nearly as many. Japan has twice as many soldiers as our regular army and the National Guard put together; Mexico has about 10000 more than our united force, while all the principal countries in South America exceed our regular army in the number of men.
 Within few months America has got over the Chinese notion that mere superiority of population is protec- tion from aggression. So, perhaps, has China, too, but only after a terri ble lesson administered by a compara- lively small power upon which the Chi nese had looked with sovereign con- contempt. A state of unpreparedness invites aggression, and neglect of modern means of offense and defense is likely to prove more costly to a na- tion than the maintenance of the most expensive armaments. But we want no, large standing army in the country. and as we must have military prepara- tion, it is the obvious policy of the government to provide to the fullest extent for the organization, instruc- tion and maintenance of the National Guard and naval reserve.

come down 10 the beach near the mis-
sion station, presumably to sell vege~
tables, ETC., so he sent the cook ashore
in the dingy TO buy what he could. The
poor cook no sooner touched the beach
than the natives rushed upon him and
hacked him down with their toma-
hawks, and carried of his body. By
the time Martin got his repeating rifle
the natives had cleared away. But
presently two appeared on the beach.
and Martin promptly bagged them. He
then made some of his own crew swim
ashore and bring off the dingy. At
this time Martin was occupied for the
most part in lodging the men-of-war.
My next meeting with him was on the
coast of Aoba. He was then in COM
mand of a schooner called the Black
Angel. He told me then that he was
the avenger of blood. A Mr.. Pana had
been murdered by his native crew.
They had looted the vessel and had
left her TO drift anywhere. Some of
them had got to Aoba, and now it was
Martins intention TO shoot them on
sight, and I believe that he evetually
carried out his intention. The last l
saw of the old pirate was up the river
from Port Sandwich, and he had then
turned his attention to agricultural
pursuits. He had a very pretty site
for his house, and on either side he had
a plantation of coffee, with some fields
of corn, and with fruit in plenty. And
there he reckoned he would have long
spell if left 10 enjoy life without in
terruptions from the natives. But at
last one of those staggering blades,
whom you will find among South Sea
Islanders, as we'll as whites, made pub
lie his intention of potting old Martin.
So one day Martin was entertaining
some visitors to dinner, when one of
his servants came and whispered in
his ear. Martin got up from the table,
saying, Excuse me, gentlemen, for
minute" and picked up his Winchester
rife he went outside. He returned in
a few minutes and sat down as if moth
ing unusual had taken place. In about
an hours time his servant again wills
pered to him, and, as before, he picked
up his rifle and went out, apologising
for his temporary absence. Suddenly
a shot was heard and then a laugh.
On going out the guests found old Pr
rate Martin standing with gun in hand,
a dying native in his death struggle on
the ground, and chief in irons bound
IdSC 10 tree. II SeeIuS THAT MdTIln
had got notice from his servant of the
arrival of the chief, had bound him
to a tree, and threatened him with
death if the man who had avowed his
intention of shooting Martin was not
produced. The victim was sent for,
and as Martin remarked, well! 1 had
the first shot in" So now they say
poor old Pirate Martin is dead. Well,
am sorry for him, although he sent
many one to their long home" dur
ing his lifetime. He was about fifty
years of age I should say. A Savoy
ard he informed me, but he never told
me how he drifted to the Southern
Seas. He had many good points,
kindly heart, and generous to degree,
but of hasty disposition and violent
temper, and he was quicker with his
rifle or revolver than he was with his
