AS is we'll known, the revenue

 .'There-it is all over now-I shall weep no more- I am glao you did net spend 15 cents to come in, I have en- tertained you so poorly.
 Water, you know, is my element. I have noticed that most men prefer stronger liquids. Sometimes I thin I would like to try some Of the liuuor which seems to have such a queer ef- feet on man, but when I realize the quantity it would take to comfortably jag me, and the very slim chance I have for getting at the cash register of my manager, I cease to think about it. Besides, it might make fool of me as it appears to of so many men.
 Water! Oh, how I long for thee. Just th1nk Of it For years and years have reveled in it. Why, sir, I was born in it, and there never was time when I could not drink my fill, bathe to my hearts content and splash and dash the cooling fluid up and down, in and out, carelessly extravagant in my usefulness, never rocking that the time would ever come when I should lie and pant like this, out on the burn ing sands of an Arizona desert, miles and miles from home, sweet home.
 Do you ever long for mud? I might know better, but still have heard it said often in my travels that there are many mud-slingers in the human family. Now I have a right to long for mud. It is enc of my clements. Tell me, did you ever know of mud oD this desert? Sometimes my manager pours a bucket of alkali water over my burning back and I wiggle about until 1 form a kind of a little mud puddle around me. It is of no use really as mud, real mud such as my nature craves, yet it makes me feel better just to look at it. After all there is something in mud-slinging. like it.

She was the last one here and enjoyed her society immensely She was so pretty it fairly made my mouth water-speaking about water makes me feel quite homesick, you know.

Every time he catches me talking to sucker-I mean an au- dience-he cuts off four of my sales and withholds my supper. I don't care SO much about the scales
 Perhaps you never knaw that any living thing as tough as I am could get homesick. It does seem hard of belief, but that it is fact is in evil dence before you. Look at these tears" Sure enough the poor fellows eyes were loaded with lachrymosity. It would touch any persons heart to see him gently swish the tears from his eyes with the soft end of his caudle and as he wept unrestrainedly for a few minutes the audience had time to recover from the surprise Occasioned by the speech. As soon as he could with grace interrupt the grief he men toned this surprise.
 Speech! Why should ycu be sur prised? Look at this mouth Away back wonder when I was but little fellow just crawling about cn the banks of the old Colorado, I used sometimes under cover of the night wander up close under the bridge at Yuma, and there snogging down into the warm mud listen to the talk of men as the voices were waited on the evening breezes from the busy places of the town. Some there were who talked softly and some there were who talked loud and strong. I used to say to myself the fellows who talk soft have brains, the fellows who talk loud have mouths large, like mine, and they will gobble up the others and rise in the world, waxing fat on the dist Of brains and soft voices.
 And as years rolled on and my mouth kept pace with my growing body, and my excursions extended to other towns along the Colorado and even to the gulf, and in high river season even through the Gila to the Salt up to a point where I obtained knowledge of your city called Phoenix, and it was ever the same to my ob-

JUDGE BARNES.
Tells the Editor a Few Things and
 Then Apologies.

Judge Barnes of Tucson, as was said of him in The Republican Satur- day morning. is aggressive. In fact, he is regular legal citation of az gressiveness in any controversy he engages in either in or out of court Saturday mornings paper casually re- ferred to his predilection for the New York Journal, and incidentally inti- mated that he obtained all of his war news from the bulletins and the pie lures in the Sunday Journal. The judge left town Friday night, of course too early to read what was said about him in the next days paper, but when he read it in Tucson yesterday morning he waxed warm, and before breakfast wrote a letter to The Republican, from which we quote the following:
 T know why you editors are mad at me. 1 did come into your office, and sat down at the desk of the telegr aph editor, as you say. And I did say that the New York Journal was the great est paper on earth. But while saying this, and while paying your oftce a friendly visit I did not know that I was placing myself in a position for ridicule before the American or any other public.
 "TO come to the reason for this ridicule. AS I sat at that desk I no- ticed a chain of perhaps a yard in length, one end fastened secure into the center of the desk, the other end fastened to one of the ear-lobes of a wobbly looking pair of blunt-pointed shears. I asked four times for an explanation of the chain, and received no reply from either Of the night ed itors, one full bald, the other channel bald only. 1 needed no explanation as to the presence of the shears. They furnished their own best evidence. The chain, I contended, was remote proof of something, but Of what something puzzled me. I have heard of people being chained to their idols. but I didn't know anything about the idols of pair of shears.
 Every once in a short while one of the baads would grab the shears from me and proceed to rapidly write an editorial While one was doing this the other exercised a close relation of comity with a pot of paste which he termed 'bergoo soup was anxious for information about beth chain and 'bergoo,' but received nore and finally in a fit of pique I did launch out into an essay of praise about the New York Journal.
 Tt is true that I take only the Sun day Journal. It is true that the pie lures printed in colors in that paper furnish me my war news. And, sir, I desire to say to you that if you will look at those pictures every Sunday you will find that they not only give the war news, but they give a great deal of it in advance of it's happen ing. How they do the latter is mystery to me, but they do In my opinion it is precedence, sir, journal istic prescience. When I lock at a

THE WOLFLEY CLAIM.
Finally Disposed of After a Long S1eg'
 of Hard Struggle.

On Saturday the territorial loan commission disposed of matter which for number of years has been burdensome to the territorial officials, judicial and executive. The Eighteenth legislature made an effort to even up with ex-Governor Lewis Wolfey for the services performed by him in pro- curing the congressional enactment known as the Arizona funding act. Literally speaking it was not for ser vices rendered, but to refund to him the expenses incurred in his successful endeavor. And act No. 28 was passed vetoed by the governor and passed over the veto by the necessary two- thirds majority of the legislature. Naturally it might have been consid- cred that this settled the business, but as a matter of fact the troubles of act No. 2S were still before it.
 The auditor of the territory refused to issue the warrants, suits were 1n- stituted, delays were encountered, de- cisions were rendered on points not germane to the real issues in the case cash issues, and then along came the Nineteenth legislature and in fit of some kind endeavored to repeal act No. 2S of the Eighteenth. This efOrt failed, but No. 28 knew that it was in the fight.
 Then began suits of mandamus, and these succeeded in the interest of the plaintiff, the courts rendering decis- ion that the act was a legal one, the dsbt just and proper one, and direct ing the method of it's payment.
 About this time the legality of the territorial bonds were in question and act No. 2S was obliged to grin and bear the laws delays until the courts passed upon the legality of these bonds. This being done, further delay entered through an arrangement for the disposal of the bonds in the east
 Saturday afternoon the loan com mission met and turned over to Col. J. A. Black, who had become the owner of the claim, territorial bonds to cover the amount appropriated by the Eighteenth legislature, and this action served to release poor old act No. 2S from all further worry and strife.

Items of Interest Gathered From
 Members of the Order

The Hon. A. P. Snowman of Mesa grand treasurer of Arizona, paid the lodge at Globe an official visit two weeks ago and reports a very pleasant time and a right royal entertainment by the members. At the regular ses- sion of the lodge on Saturday he ini- tiated five candidates into the order, after which a special degree session was held, at which seventy-one mem- bers took the district lodge degree. The lodge is probably the largest in the territory, but it's exact membership is not known. F.
