Springfield has no heavy ornamental
military body such as Hartford pos
sesses in her Putnam PhalanX and Wor-
cester in her Continentals, and so we

Those astute critics of Speaker Reed s
policy of controlling business in the
house, should peruse the records of last
Thursdays session. While bin provid-
ing for the issue of a duplicate check
was under discussion, an Iowa con-
gresham gave ur part of his time
to Bailey of Texas the democratic lead
er, who in turn gave up half an hour
to Handy of Delaware, who wanted an
opportunity to castigate the Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard of that state, for de-
nouncing the democratic vote for the
Teller-Matthews silver resolution. So
much objection was made to this, be-
cause it was not germane to the bill,
Bailey and Handy conspired to get
the speech in while bill to make Rock
land, Me-, port Of entry, was pending
Handy was called to order, and Bailey
marked that while it had been the Gus
tom to allow the widest latitude in de-
bate in committee Of the whole, it had
not been the practice in the house. 1t
would not be suitable to fasten on the
house a system by which all manner of
questions could be discussed at any time,
In other words, the speaker intends, so
far as it lies in his power, to make the
house attend to business to prevent OBJ
struction OF business and waste of time
in empty partisan speechmaking. There
is time enough wasted in that way in
the committee of the whole, and some
times it seems as if the house was al
ways babbling in committee

Interest in Zola's trial was much in

Office thwarted the efforts for the in
PRODUCTION of evidence in defense of the

it is no doubt impossible for Americans
to realize the strength or see the JUS

periodically bursts out violently in Eu-
rope The people against whom all this
Virulence is directed, give us no cause
for anxiety, anger or concern. In Eu-
rope they are regarded as a menace to
society and the state. But even on that
ground, the American mind fails to
comprehend the necessity of persecution
and the violation of the canons of JUS

REV. MR.. sTEBBINs AT DETROIT.

Rev. Calvin Stebbins of the Church of
the Unity assisted the officiating clergy
man at the funeral Of Mrs. Francis Eliza
beth Bagley of Detroit Mich, wife of ex-
Gov. Bagley, which was held from the
home Of the DECEASED Friday. Mr. steb-
bins was for 20 years pastor of the
church of which Mrs. Bagley was mem
ber, and went to Detroit especially to at
tend the funeral. He spoke feelingly and
eloquently of the beloved dead, and his
words of comfort to the bereaved relatives
were tender. Following the prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Stebbins, Rev. Reed Stuart, pas
tor of the First Unitarian Church during
the latter years of Mrs. Bagley's life,
briefly eulogized her character. Among
the honorary pail bearers at the funeral
were ex-Gov. D. M Ferry Judge Edgar

the clearing of the Atlantic highway be-
tween America and Europe has been at
tempted, but hitherto with no conspi-
cuous success. The United States reve-
nue. service makes some pretense of
clearing the waters near our own coast.
The photographic office has the special
care of derelicts, as the abandoned
hulls and sunken wrecks are called, and
from the reports made to this office ma
vigators may be warned of danger.
But as tho derelicts do not obediently
remain in the place where once sighted,
but float about with embarrassing free
dom, the efforts to find them and blow
up or sink them is by no means an
easy task to perform. 1t is worth while
to note that the immense increase Fof
ocean traffic has robbed navigation of
considerable proportion of its danger,
because help so often seems close at
hand. The number of rescues upon the
high sea is by no means small.

Mrs. Joseph Kingsbury, who created
stir in Atlanta, Ca. by making pub
lie protest against what she considered
the too common practice of kissing in
local society, seems to have been an
noyed by the comments of the press and
the sport that has been made of her
well-meant endeavors at reform. She
retorts that if any northern editor wants
a good story, she will write him one on
the abuse of osculation in the north. AS
justification of her protest, she cites the
desire of principals of boarding schools
for her influence for reform in behalf
of their schools. The SOUTH" she re-
marks, takes kissing. like other fash
ions, periodically, and some of the young
people yield to its fascination. Only
periodically, be it observed.

Joel Chandler Harris recommendation
of John Fiske, as the one man living
who is competent to write the history of
the civil war and do Justice to all parties
and sections concerned, won't increase
the Atlanta writer's reputation in GER
tain circles in Boston, Cambridge, Ma
hant and Providence. There are other
historians and philosophers who think
they know a thing or two themselves.
All the same, the exponent of Herbert
Spencer in America has done up the war
of the revolution in way that none
others have approached for interest and
candor, and that augurs well for his
treatment of any historical subject that
he may undertake He is one of the few
who have been able to see both the ro-
mantle and patriotic side of American
history without losing sight of facts or
getting them seriously twisted.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1sss.

The coming opening of the first Ger
man gymnasium" or high school for
women gives the advocates of the high
er education of women good cause for
rejoicing. The emancipation of woman
has found but uncongenial soil in the
fatherland, where her sphere" has been
somewhat vigorously insisted on and
confined to rather narrow limits Ger
many is great place fox education,
however, and the overthrow of the bar
riers that have restricted the freedom
of women in this respect, was only a
question Of time. Though German
women may not enjoy the privileges of
the universities, their sisters in other
lands may reflect that the gymnasium
itself is as good as a college

MEXICAN CATTLE,
Held Up on inc Southern Border of
 Arizona.

There are 1000 head of Mexiean cat tie at Naco, four miles south of Don Luis, near Bisbee, the principal ship ping point of the Arizona & South Eastern railroad, knocking for admis- sion to the United States. The fact that they are there is of interest to the cattlemen of Phoenix and the salt River valley fer two reasons. One is that if they are kept there and D. e. vented from reaching the California market, fer which they were intended the demand for Arizona cattle will be maintained and prices will be k pt up. The other is that their detention is an object lesson proving the danger to Arizona cattle interests, only avertod by the enfCrcemCnt of wise sanitary measures.
 The story of the case is a long enc, but briefly it is as follows: Messrs. B. A. Packard, J. w. Vickers of Tomb stone and Vail & Gates lately bought the Turkey Track lange cf cattle. iI SCnor1, intending to prspare the cattle for the California markeS. They had 2,000 head ready and there seemed to be no obstruction to their admission CIGS0 NIS ACdIdu lluG All d=@LlL of the agricultural department came out from Kansas City and agreed un- der certain conditions to let them in. Heretofore it has been the custom to fix an open season between Novs mb T 15 and January 15, in which cattle from below the quarantine line might b9 brought above without government in spectt0n. This year theTe was no open season fixed. probably fer the reason that it had been resolved to enforce the dipping process with which
Arizona republican., 1898-12-10

the government had dcc ded to experi- ment. However, permission had been
 granted tC bring these cattle in not
 earlier than December 1. When the
 entry was ready to be made Dr. Allen, representing the bureau of animal in
 dustry, stationed at NCgales, wSnt to Naco and after a close examination Of a herd of ,000 found single tick. But that as etfeotUally excluded the herd as if he had found a million. They ws1e held up and MT Vicksrs has gone to Washington to see about it. He will nc doubt reasonbly represent that no harm can come from their admission. There was only enc tick, which in it. self is not threatening. Beside th7re was no possibility of the cattle ccmirg into contact with cattle this side of the line. They would Ee put into cars and would not be taken out until they should be unloaded in the slaughter pens at Los Angeles.
 It is not regarded as likely that this representation will result in the ad- mission of the cattle. The owners will probably be required to construct ex- pensive dipping tanks and dip them. In fact it was rum0red here vest day that the making of the tanks had been begun. The effect of the process not so much upon the ticks as upon the cattle is awaited here with deep interest. It predicted that unfavorable results will follow, especially if the weather is ss bad at Naco as it is in Phoenix. It is no doubt much colder now. A few days ago a herd Of 800 were dipped near Fort Worth, Tex. in cold weather. Fifty of the cattle, 10 per cent. died within two days. Whether there were later deaths has not been learned.
 The experience of the owners of the Turkey Track cattle with the gcV- ernment inspectors will have ten dency to make Arizona cattlemen more patient under the restrictions Of the territorial sanitary laws.

ALEssON FOR The FUTURE.

There is one county in Western North
Carolina that the FusiOnsts carried
which would have gone Democratic If
the Democratic nominees had wased
the campaign on the line adopted by the
State Convention. Some of the candl-
dates, in hunting about for negroes votes,
lodged the great need of White Supre
macy which gave the party great
strength in every part of the State.
private note from gentleman IN thar
county has this paragraph:
.'This county ought to have been car
ried and would have been if our can
didates had all made a red hot enthu-
siastic canvass on the oyershadowins
issue of White Supremacy. l have no
doubt that other counties that failed 10
draw the color line tightly and make
White Supremacy its main issue SUI
fered."
This gentleman is right. From the
first the only hope in success was i'll
uniting the white men of the State
They could not be united except when
shown that division invited negro rule
Wherever the evils of negro rule were
shown, white men forgot past differences
and united. That fact ought to be OF
future benefit.
