MORE IRREGULARITIES.

A subscriber at Tucson writes to The Republican as follows: Saturdays paper, which should have reached me Sunday, failed to come. received mail from Phoenix on time The paper came Monday. Yesterdays (Tuesday) paper hasn't shown up yet, making two irregularities in the week.
 Two week is about the average loss of each subscriber in this territory. The Republican is taking extra pains in it's mailing department, but irregu- larities continue to be reported by sub scribers who appreciate the efforts of this newspaper to secure a better mail service We shall continue to lay these accumulating facts before the postcffce department It is plain to IS that when Arizona postof1ice and postal clerks get rid of the idea that second class mail matter is of no par ticular importance the newspapers of the territory will find themselves rid of very substantial nuisance.

ON THE PAINTED DESERT.

You swing across the plateau and
 slide and chamber down again. But
 with the descent of a few hundred feet
 you are in another world. The vision no longer revels in those upland spaces which raise the spirit into exultant
 mastery. It may be a desperate lab. yrinth of gorges along whidE now you fare, whose grotesQue and threatening
 walls crowd in upon the way in stolid
 brutal insistence. It may be broad valley with dry, level, grassy bottom, and bordered by miles of majestic cliffs stretching away in broad panelled and buttressed sweeps, and beset with alcoves here and there, whose blissful shadows lure you from the way. But there is more than shade in these cool recesses, for it is only when you get well back in shadow, so that the eyes are released from the glare of the sun. that you realize the full richness and
 beauty of the great masses of simple color which dominate these wastes. Perhaps ahead of you the yellow val ley narrows, the buttressed cliffs form ing a gigantic colonnade down which you ride, while great rock pillars and colossal obelisks tower here and there above the walls, gleaming in gray or buff or pink or red against the rich blue background of the sky. Or the valley may open out upon a sweep of sandy plain, it's buff and yellow stretches beset with billowy masses of the sage, now gray, now lilac-tinted through the shimmering air, with an elusive purple among the shadows of it's leaves, which, as you rustic by them fling faint aroma on the air You look across this tremulous stretch of 1i- lac and purple and gold, like a bril- liant restless sea struck motionless. with its waves abreak, to the far hori- zon upon which rise miles of gorgeous buttes-white, yellow, purple, orange and brown-all alive with the intense shadows which come and go upon their rugged faces.
 Now and then the hot quivering air plays strange tricks with the vision as you ride over the sandy reaches of the bottoms. The cliffs shoot up in wavering pinnacles, rock columns rise and hang their real selves. then slowly dwindle and fade or draw upward and flash out of sight. A few times I have seen beautiful lakes suddenly appear across the pathway, with foam-tipped waves breaking in silence upor! green shores, which glided along the burning sand to vanish in a breath.-From Under the Spell Of the Grand Canon,'' by T.

OUR NEW POSSESSION.

Let us take a look at the commercial aspect of Hawaii before annexation has upset the statistics
 The population at the latest census was in round numbers 109, ,000, of whom 31 .000 were Hawaiians, 24 ,000 Japanese 2100O Chinese, 15,00O Portugese, 5,zOo Americans, 2,250 British and l.43C Germans
 The receipts of the government are about S2,000,000 annually, of which about a third is gathered by. tariff taxes, one-third by internal taxation and one-third from miscellaneous sources. The expenditures consume nearly all the income.
 The United States have been trading with Hawaii for over half a century. From 1926 to 1850 the trading was oc- casional. In 1873 our exports amounted to $672, ,191. After a reciprocity treaty in 1876 they quickly passed the s1,O00,- 900 line, and in 1886 we sold Hawaii s4,000,000 of the $6,063,000 worth she imported. Our trade has usually been about two-thirds of her total com merce
 When reciprocity began between us, Hawaii was exporting sugar, rice, wool, tallow, nlolasses, peanuts, hides, goat skins, sheep skins, whale oil, whale bone, ivory, salt, sperm oil, and many other articles, but now rice, sugar, cof- fee, bananas and pineapples are the chief exports. Of the $15, ,50O,0 900 worth of exports in 1896, almost $15,OO0, 900 worth was in sugar, the tendency dur ing the last twenty years being appar- ently to reduction in the number of articles produced. It may be expected that business of all kinds in Hawaii will improve now that "Old Glory waves over the islands

To serve on a jury one must have diploma in law, medicine, or some other profession, or an income Of $1O0 month; or he must be a mem- Der of the family whose head has an in- | come of $3,000 a year.
 Much attention is given to the for nal opening of new institutions of all kinds. The inauguration of any new enterprise is made the occasion of some kind of exercises and the president and | his cabinet, state, city or village dig n1tarles are asked to attend according to the importance of the occasion. Very few things from railroad to a new shop are opened without formal relig- lous blessings in addition to the cere- monies attending the rejoicing of the populace.-Modern Mexico.

A Michigan college is to introduce naval training into it's curriculum. The idea is certainly ingenious, and no doubt it will be popular. The institu- tions which afford military training are legion, and they do not give the pu- pill as much as a taste of the venture some as he will obtain from the study and practice of naval tactics. The plan is, of course, a direct consequence of the war, and if such schools are of any benefit to the country it should possess big possibilities of good.

GIVE HIM TROOPS.

It has been the intention of the government to send 1S,000 or 10000 troops to Manila, and unless the plan of enforcing order there is given up General Merritt should have them all. Something will have to be done after the forces under August have surren- dered. The Philippines have a mixed population containing numbers of per- sons who will find it to their advantage to prevent the establishment of peace. The insurgents themselves as a body are perhaps less to be feared than the different elements among them. Any one of these groups may be led to unruliness after the efforts of Agui- naldo to overcome the Spanish are car ried out. The whole insurgent organi- zation, however, can not be trusted to respect the rights of their old foe, who, as is so well known, have practiced even worse cruelties upon the patriots than Weyler adopted to suppress the Cuban rebellion. Being so far from home, General Merritt will be obliged to look far ahead when he commences operations. He will have no such prospects of relief in case of serious complications as General Shafter had at Santiago. For that reason the gov ernment owes him the strongest SUD- port, which, taking the circumstances of the situation into account, should be relatively as effective as that given to Rear Admiral Dewey.

QUICK RETURNS.

This is for the benefit of for eign advertisers who may be looking toward the rich Arizona field.
 The Arizona Republican is the only newspaper in Arizona that is published every day in the year.
 The circulation of the Arizona Republican exceeds the combined circulation of all the other daily papers in the territory.
 The Arizona Republican is read in every town and mining camp in the great southwest. As to it's value as an advertising medium read the following letter from the proprietor of the Ho- tel Nadeau, Los Angeles:
 Los Angeles, Cal,
 July 26, 1898. To the Proprietor of the Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz.
 My Dear Sir: I beg leave to acknowledge and express my ap- preciation of your valuable pa per as an advertising medium for my hotel. I do not know that 1 have ever in the history of my business received such quick and satisfactory returns from any advertisement that l have put before the people, and I assure you I shall be only too pleased, on all occasions, to rec ommend The Republican to the people of southern California who solicit the business of Ari- zona people as I have done.
 With many wishes for the prosperity of the Arizona Repub- lican, I am, with great respect,
 Yours truly,

AVOID SUBSTITUTES

ical sight, truly, and one which proclaims
to the passerby his proximity to a school
house. ii may be remarked that blotting
paper is unknown In the Flowery Land.
There are no public schools in China, or,
indeed, school houses of any kind. But the
boys and girls of the Flowery Land repair
to the house of their teacher to pursue
their studies. They do not sit upon the
floor, as Is commonly supposed, for al
though they have no school furniture such
as is used in this country, they are provid-
ed with common chairs, upon which they
sit while studying. During Rotations they
stand around their teacher.
Long before reaching the school room,
visitors may hear the pupils vociferously
shouting their lessons and making a din
which is, to say the least, confusion to one
unaccustomed to this method OF study. But
when one realizes what an arduous task
1t is 10 learn one's A, -, Cs, In China,
it Is no longer a matter of sHrprose that
studying aloud Is permitted Think of
committing to memory ia elementary
characters These characters take the
place of Our alphabet, for the Chinese Lam
guage has no alphabet like ours, That
is what the Chinese boys and girls must
do; and that Is only the beginning OF trou-
BILE for these characters are grouped to-
gether to form words, of which there are
more than 50 eco in the Monaghan language.
Moreover some of these words have forty
different meanings, the significance Of
word varying with its infection. Another
regularity Of the Chinese written language
is that the beginning Of the book corre-
sponds to the end of one Of ours, so that
the pupil appears 10 us TO begin at the end
of the last line on the last page, and 70 be
reading backward.
In studying at arithmetic, Chinese pupils
use the abacus or counting apparatus,
frame strung with wires, on which are
Rally colored balls such as we see In the
primary schools in our country, and which
we have copied from the Chinese.
They do not study geography, for the
reason that the Chinese think there Is no
country besides their own that Is OF any
importance on their maps, China is rep
resented as occupying the greater part OF
the earth; other countries being grouped
around the Middle Kingdonl-as the Chi
nese are accustomed to speak Of their
eountry-and made to appear as insigni1-
cant as possible
Girls and boys dress exactly alike except
that the boys wear their hair in pig tail
while the girls have funny little wisp
on top Of their heads In some parts OF
China 1t Is very cold, and as the houses
are not warmed like ours IN the winter,
the children, and grown people, too, keep
comfortable by putting on one dress over
another till they are so bundled up that
they can scarcely move. Possibly this
NAV seem a very uncomfortable way OF
keeping comfortable, but the Chinese lit
tie folks are not given to complaining.

listened to the banging of furnace doors
and grating OF shovels in the tireroom be-
low. Occasionally one of us would VEN
ture an opinion or try to exchange views,
and Stump even started story, but in the
main we were quiet and watchful.
From the swaying and trembling of the

ratified in the chests, the deck quivered,
and from down in the lower depths came
the quick throb-throb of the overworked

by the upleaping flame from the funnel
died away, and darkness settled down
again.

He scurred off with a laugh, and we
