CUBAN RECOGNITION.
THE WAR IS OVER.

Los Angeles Express: The action Of
the Senate Monday in removing the
political disabilities of the ex-Con-
federates is a graceful and appropriate
act. 1t was a formal acknowledgment
that 1.-The war is over" and was a fit
ting answer to the European journals
who expressed the belief that the old
ante-bellum spirit still fingers in the
country The stars and stripes are as
popular to-day in Louisiana as they
are in Maine, and we are all Yankees,
whether we live in Massachusetts,
South Carolina or California.

idea of calling in all the greenbcks and
issuing bonds to the amount of that
class of currency is simply an attempt
to play into the hands Of the national
banks.
CUBAN RECOGNITION.
Fresno Republican: Should it not be
considered that the time has arrived
when the United States may justly and
wisely recognize the Cubans as bel
ligerents? For long time they have
carried on a brave warfare, and their
efforts have constantly tended toward
success. That success probably would
be guaranteed by the friendly recogni-
ton of the United States at this time
If the cause of these rebels is as just
as it appears to be this nation should
be urged by its history, it's traditions
and the spirit of liberty pervading it's
Government to give to the Cubans it's
moral support

THE CoMMIssIONERs.

Stockton Mail The selection of Rob
ert It. Lincoln and Edward J. Phelps as
members of the Venezuelan Commits
sion does not strike us as particularly
happy one. Both have represented this
country at the Court of st. James and
both, as the dispatches say, "have been
warmly praised by the British press for
many years" We believe that a COM
mission composed of men not so popular
in England as Lincoln and Phelps
would have inspired the people of this
country with more confidence. How
ever, we do not wish to prejudge the
gentlemen and hope they will perform
their work in a manner satisfactory to
the people of the United States.
THE PRESIDENTS PLAN.
Placer Argus: We commended the ac-
tion of President Cleveland in calling for
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine
last week. The country is unanimously
with him on that proposition, as at
tested by the fact that both houses of
Congress passed the bill authorizing the
appointment of a commission without a
dissenting voice. His later message on

now. Dysart says he isn't afraid
of all the range cattle in the desert
but Cope and | have noticed that
jack rabbits and quail are perfectly
safe along the road when there are
any cattle in sight
These presents are evidence that
we found water that night else |
could not have lived to pen them.
At Camp Verde we took on water
and directions to Montezuma's
Castle. "Across the Verde River
three miles up. Dry Beaver
Creek" After searching in vain
for dry creek with beavers in it
we guessed the directions were at
fault and went up q beautiful
stream of running water as inno-
cent of beavers as all our roads
outside of Maricopa County are Of
signboards. 1t was the right way.
A high limy bluff faces toward the
south. In great niche in the
bluff rooted by shelf of rock is
the castle. It's lower rooms are
some sixty feet above the water
level of the creek and are built of
fiat stones which are laid in rude
mortar of mud and gravel. The
castle is several stories high. It's
rooms and walls are we'll preserved
and are monnments of the energy
and industry of the builders rather
than the skill Of the architect who
planned them. But for the ladders
that modern tourists have impro :
vised, the castle would be entirely
out of our reach, which fact clearly
indicated to Cope and Dysart that
it was built and inhabited by
winged beings. This theory was
strengthened if not absolutely con-
tirmed by the fact that Monte
zuma's Well was nine miles away.
Nobody without wings would have
his well so far from his house. To
investigate and pursue this theory
dunn fervit we hurried on by noon
light to the well.

ON THE WING.
BY PILGRIM BAXTER M'cREARY.

On the maps the post offices
along the wagon road from Phoenix
to Prescott are marked with as
much show of Importance as if they
were towns or even cities. So
after an arduous pull over formid-
able mountains we were surprised
to find a flock of chickens, well
and bend in the road, to consti-
tute no inconsiderable part of the
buzzing little town of Bumblebee.
A hoy skinning a jack rabbit was
the busy inhabitant, and walnut
tree and inn were the places of
interest of AnteloLe Here we
took on water and information
about the road to Camp Verde By
which we arranged our maps for
future use. "Go over the Hill"
our informant said, "till you come
to the forks take the right ha,id
road till you come to a creek with
plenty of water. These direc-
tions were explicit and we tried to
follow them to the letter. But the
hill we found to he a mountain.
The day was warm, and before we
reached the cedar corral our horses
had drank up our supply of water.
In the distance was pen on the
desert. This no doubt was the
cedar corral. We drove to it. It
was a corral, but a scientific in
spection alone could determine the
character of it's ingredients. After
whiting and tasting, Cope and
Dysart pronounced it cedar. 1t
would he right to go to the right,
so we left it to the left. In few
miles the road forked again and
we took the right hand according
to our directions. 1t forked again
In fact it did nothing else but fork
that blessed day to 4 o'clock y. m.
till it had become so attenuated
that it was too weak to fork. We
followed il, however, till it dwind-
led to trail. This soon disap-
peared leaving lis in the midst of a
desert without water. Our horses
were well nigh exhausted. They
could not take us back to Ante
lope. Our case wss desperate. We
must find water or perish. We
drove on and on till dry arroyo
crossed our course. Some range
cattle were lying under the mes
quite trees far to the left. This
was an indication of water. Cope
started up and Dysart down the
arroyo III search of water / sug-
gested that they take their guns.
Dysart said he was too tired but
when | insisted he reluctantly took
his shot gun. [ watched him pass
where the cattle were. Some of
them ran away but few permitted
him to pass them. One wild lock-
ing COW followed him from behind
while he went on, too intent upon
his search for water to think of
else, till the COW was
upon him, and then the row began.
He used his gun as club with
which he tried to beat her back
but she did not seem 70 regard it.
The man tried to get far enough
away to shoot the infuriated brute,
but could not. She crowded on
while the gunbarrels were piled
with rapid thwacks about her
head. Had Dysart been without
his gun the cow alone would have
been left to brag about the result
of that battle. In that case there |
would not have been quite so much
said about the fight as there is

Immediately on our arriving here Judge
Terrell lost no time in notifying the Turkish
Government and asking an audience for me

the permit was granted for my party to enter

people there, and that no distractions would
be put in our way. Mr.. Terrell at once cabled
that information to Mr.. Olney, but the permit

The Times states that the Government de-

that il would have favorable effect on the

me to allow the use of my name, but for a long

would not interposc further objection. 1t was
nero coincidence that my consent was given
at time when the candidates. of several
others were uncovered The work in my be-
half is not controlled by political leader or
combination Of politicians. Much less is 1T
an tagonistic to any one of the distinguished
gentlemen who are contesting for the lead in

welcome to, name his own personal friends as

ment is very strong in Nebraska but it is not
presumptuous in me to think that Nebraskans

FRIDAY, MARCH l3.

In the Senate. the Cuban question did not &C.
cuDy much of the attention of the members.
The statement made by Mr.. Sherman yester-
day that Mr. Lodge, member of The Committee
Oh Foreign Relations had secured some import
ant Espers from the State Department for the
confidential use of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. brought out demand from Mr.. Hoar
and Mr.. Wolcott that the papers should be given
to the Senate. But Mr.. Lodge had not received
any papers from the State Department and had
had no communication with Mr.. Olney in this
respect The papers had been sent from the State
Department to the committee of which Mr..
Sherman was Chairman.
The Senate went into Executive session to
consider the papers as well as to do some other
Executive business. The important con-
fidential document" proved to be long state
ment from the Spanish Minister which was Of
no greater Importance than the matter bc has
already given out in numerous interviews and
some information from the United States Con-

great progress in the last six months.
More important work was done by the Sem
ate In Executive session in deciding some
pending contests in regard to nominations.
Mr.. Anderson, Of kentucky, was nominated
some time ago an Indian Agent in Okla
homa Mr.. Dubois has been the leader OF a
number of Western Senators who took the
ground that the appointment Of Indian Agents
should be made from among the cities OF the
Territory or State in which the Indians were
located. The Senate decided by vote of ayes
%. nays "a, to confirm Mr.. Anderson, and thus
approve of the choice of Indian Agents, when
the President so desires, from other States than
those in which Indians are situated.
A similar contest was made by Mr.. Squire
and Mr. Wilson, of Washington, against the
appointment OF George II. Newman, of Tennes-
see, as an Indian Agent in the State of Wash
ington, but the appointment was confirmed by
a vote Of ayes %, nays 10.

Nature works as hard as she can, but
there are some things she cannot stand. If
a man gets some foreign substance into the
works of his watch, he doesn't expect the
watch to run until the impeachment is re-
moved. His own digestive system is
much more wonderful and delicate mechan-
