Among the number of Baltimore Fresh Air Fund children sent to the cool hill country of Virginia this sum- mer, there was one little fellow who found quarters in hospitable farm- house at Fort Royal. When the cows came up in the evening to be milked, the boy went down to the harnyard with his host to see the operation. The cows were standing about placidly' contentedly chewing the cad. The boy watched the milkmaids at work, and his eyes dealt with growing won der on the ceaseless grind of the cows jaws. At Atlepgth he turned to his hos! and said: .And do you have to buy gum for all them cowsp"

pr. see,s Great Discoveriss,

A dispatch from Boston, Mass, oi November SOth has the following to say concerning Dr. See's work while in Flagstaff:
 ..Astronomical discoveries of great value are reported by Dr. T. J. J. See. who has charge of Lowell obser- vatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Prof. See says that the Arizona air is clearer and purer than at any other station iu this country. Dr. See said that since August, 1896, he has discovered about 300 new double stars. and measured about 700 objects noticed by previous observers. Many stellar systems dis covered are large and brilliant and possess the highest interest.
 The discovery of 500 new double stars'is accounted the most important contribution to southern astronomy since the survey of ST. John Herschel sixty years ago.

NEARLY ALL FOR IT.

The editor of the Florence Tribune asks the following questions: "What is the substance of the home rule bill for Arizona which Congress will be asked to pass? Who is behind 1t? The substance of the home rule bill is to give the citizens of Arizona the right to elect the territorial officers and district judges. The citizens who pay the taxes should have voice in choosing the officers to handle nd disburse the funds derived from ta ta- tion.
 As to the second question the Tucson Citizen answers it partley when it says: That nine tenths of the people favor home rule. We are of opinion that greater per cent is behind it than stated by the Citizen. In fact the opposition is confined to the gang and their satellites. The question is easily answered, the people are behind the move regardless of party.

IN speaking of the Durrant case a recent dispatch says: Possibly the Durrant case may lead to tragedy. This is the belief of Rev. Wm. Tubb, father of Attorney Tubbs, who was once helping in the fight to save the condemned man. Tubbs has been missing since June. and a thorough search failed to find any trace of him. It is now beleived that in his search he found the real murderer of Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont and was slain by him."

When person is convicted of a felony the judge orders that the pris- oner be confined in the penitentiary at hard labor. Under the late order of things the sentence don't mean that the felon be confined in the peniten- tiary, but that he be confined to the banks of the canal. or Colorado river, where he can fish. while the territory furnishes a guard to bait his hook. That is economy and reform.

WANTS HOME RULE.
Denver News.I

United States District Attorney
 Ellinwood of Arizona, in an interview
 with The News, announces that an effort is to be made by the people of that territory for home rule, which means that they shall be permitted to elect their governor and other tcrri- torial officials, and we presume also their judges. In other words, they will ask that the territory be placed on the same footing as state, except that they will continue to have only a delegate in congress instead of con gressman and senators.
 This is a very radical departure in the policy which the United States has always pursued toward the territories. The governor. secretary and judges have always been appointed by the president. and paid by the federal government. Whether Mir. Ellin- woods scheme includes the payment of the officials by the territory as we'll as their election does not appear. The scheme. if authorized by congress, would place portion of the burdens of a state government on the people of the territory. which would be offset by the privilege of choosing their own rulers, instead of having them selected by the president.
 Iu recent years there has beea a well defined sentiment in favor of selecting territorial officials from the citizens of the territory for which they were named. Certain it is that there has been an improvement in this regard. Back in the days when Col orado was territory, and before the class ofterritorial appointees was as Q whole disgrace to American politics. Politicians without character or stand ing at home, aud with little or no fitness for the positions to which they were appointed, were sent out to the West to become governors and secre- taries and judges. Colorado had its share and kicked so vigorously about it that to this source the late reform must be credited.
 The Arizona proposition, we take it, is made to meet in measure the ob- jection raised by the gold press to the demand for admission of Arizona and New Mexico to the sisterbood of states. Whenever they memorialize congress the "rotten borough cry is raised. We are told that Montana and Idaho and Nevada having statehood, snjoy as large . representation in the ssnats as New York. Pennsylvania and Illi- pois. The whole i6nAsnes thatxia, agAinsl bimetallism Is alsO agaiase the admission of any more Western states. Hence the Ellinwood plan proposes to secure a measure of home rule for the territories and evade the opposition which exists to giving them more rep resentation in congress. The News would not be surprised to see the sug- gestion favorably received by the re- publican political bosses and the DOT ton of the press which shouts for the gold standard.

It is said that Hon. II. 8. Ferguson delegate to congress from New Mexico will work for statehood for his terri tory at the ensuing session. Our del- egate has similar job on hand, and we hope he will be industrious enough to get statehood, and we will not be satisfied with anything less than home rule.
