PEANUT POLITICAL DEMAGoGY.
Attempting to Make Political Capital
 of the Ruling of the Department.

The Journa1-Miner prints the follow ing relative to the mesquite ruling:
 A whole column of the Phoenix Ga zette of March II is devoted to discuss ing the ruling of the interior depart ment governing the cutting Of mes quite wood on government land, and, as is the custom of most democratic papers, it undertakes to make political capital out of this ruling. It does not hesitate (for local political pu1poses) to charge the Phoenix Republican and the coal and transportation companies in the territory with having influenced the department in favor of the con- clusions reached.
 After reading the article which ap- peared in the Gazette the Journal Miner man thought that it would be well to interview MT. Murphy, presi- dent of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix road, in regard to the decision re- ferred to. As was expected. neither MT. Murphy nor any one con- nected with his road had in the slightest degree contributed directly or indirectly informa- tion or influence favoring the recent decision of the department of the interior MT. Murphy recognizes that to deprive the citizens of the ter ritory of the privilege of appropriat- ing from government lands mesquite wood for fuel purposes will result in working a great hardship on many people and believes that the depart ment should and will move cautiously while undertaking to prohibit the wan ton destruction of the forestry of the public lands in the territory. There is no doubt however, but that the re- cent decision will furnish a fine oppor- tunity for the political demagogues to work upon the prejudices of un- thinking people. and, as stated in the Gazette's article, the recent decision will be charged to the "grasping hand of centralized wealth. and the resi- dents of the Salt, Verde and Gila val leys and various other sections of the territory, likely to be affected by this ruling, will be prevailed upon to be- lieve that capital and corporations are responsible for every inconven- fence they are subjected to-
 The Gazette is to be congratulated upon the opportunity that has been furnished for it to indulge in dema- gogism.
 Now let us hear from our morning contemporary, and note the skill with which it will undertake to plead for the poor wood chopper, and watch it's effort to fix the responsibility of all disagreeable results from this late ruling on the taxless, etc.

LICORICE GROWS PROFUsELY
An Industry Which May Prove a Profitable One to Valley Ranchers

Profitable One to Valley Ranchars
 There will be an example of the sur vival of the fittest in the struggle which is now going on three miles west of Phoenix between William Isaacs and a patch of licorice root. Thus far the root has the best of it, and MT. Isaac has now enlisted the aid Of the small boys of the neighborhood that he may survive the onslaught of the licorice in it's slow, but sure, creep ing pace to take possession of his en- tire ranch. Roots as long as ten feet have been dug out of the patch on MT. Isaacs' ranch, and the weed has been in the ground but a few years MT. Isaacs is somewhat of mathematician, and he figured that it would be but few years before the entire ranch would have a subterra- mean network of licorice root. So ha has decided to get rid of it.
 Several years ago a San Francisco paper offered as an inducement to sub scribers a package of licorice seed MT. Isaacs did not want the paper, but he thought he would like to raise licorice to chew instead of tobacco and increase his popularity in the val ley by suppling his neighbors with the sweet and juicy root. He planted out a small patch and it was but a short time before the vines appeared and as sumed business-like air. The roots were silently drifting off in every di- rection and popping their ends up here and there to get breath of fresh air. No sooner did they come in con- tact with the sun than the foliage of another plant shot out from the eX- posed part and a new vine appeared Thus did the vines grow until they i threatened to supplant the alfalfa fields and the garden spots of MT. Isaacs' ranch. He dug up some roots and brought them to Phoenix for his 1 friends to chew on. The fact that they were pronounced sweeter and superior in every way to the imported root did not change MT Isaacs' determination 1 to rid his land of the usurping vines, He has kept up active hostilities for some time, but up to this time the roots are still creeping under barbed wire i fences and making the life of the rancher full of woes
 Although licorice does not com I mand very high price in the market of the country, yet there is constant demand for it everywhere. The amount consumed every year amounts to many tons. The supply comes pyincj- pally from Spain, although there are some patches in California. MT Isaacs has demonstrated that the Salt River valley can produce it. but he says he has never tried to sell any in quantities and he does not feel dis posed to cultivate it. In the line oi experiments in the valley his expert ence has a great deal of importance
 If licorice root can be shipped from Spain to this country and sold at 8

The picture of Isaac H. Smith, the
black radical negro candidate for the
Legislature in Craven county, as Mr..
Jennett gives it in Raleigh News-Ob-
server, reminds one of Governor Dan
in his physiognomy. This fine niger
candidate is the very man to repre-
sent the genuine niger party. He has
been twice convicted of forgery, and
how many hundreds of times he has
stolen are not down in the court re-
cords. There is eternal fitness of
things" in that nominee and his gang.
The venerable Ex-Governor Curtis
H. Brogden, of Wayne county, now,
we suppose, quite seventy-fve years
of age Or more, appears in the Colds
boro Argus in a letter dated 18th Sep
TENDER, 1898, in which he declares
sQuarely for white supremacy in North
Carolina. He has been a republican
for more than thirty years. His re-
pudiatiOn of the gang of incapables is
significant and highly creditable to his
sense of right and Self-reSpect.

DEATH OF DIR. JOHN HALL,

Rev. DR.. John Hall, the eminent pas
tor for thirty one years of Fifth Pres
byterian church, New York city, died
suddenly at Bangor, Ireland, on 18th
from heart trouble. It is said that re-
cent annoyances as to his congregation
fastened the end. His health failed
after the Session accepted his resigna-
ton which the congregation would not
receive. He was a famous preacher.
His congregation was large, 2,400. He
was 6 feet 3 inches tall, {. large bulk,
was a prOdigiOus worker, a preacher
of force and learning, and was a very
useful minister. He was born in coun-
ty Armagh, Ireland, on 31st July 1929,
and was, therefore in his 18th year. He
was of Scotch %parentage. The New
York World says of him:
CDR. Halls fame was won in New
York by the force Of his character, his
good work among the members of his

his interest in public affairs, although
he took no active part in them. & =
No church in America has contrib
uted such large sums to missionary,
educational and charitable work as the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church.
The voluntary contributions averaged
100000 a year for many years. It has
long been a social and religious centre.
and it includes in its membership men
of enormous influence. The aggregate
wealth of the members of the church
has been estimated at $500, 900, 600"
He had collegiate and theological ed
ucation and was licensed to preach in
1S49. He received a great salary-a
fine house and sI5,O 900 a year. He came
to this country in 1866, as a delegate,
and preached in several pulpits, among
them the Fifth Presbyterian. The
World says that the stalwart Irish
man made a profound impression upon
the members Of the congregation, par-
ticularly upon Robert Bonner, n of
the richest and most influential.
Shortly after DR.. Halls return to Dub
lin he received an urgent call by cable
to take charge of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church. He accepted, and
assumed the duties of his new position
in November, 1867. His salary was
then $40, 900, the largest paid to any
minister in this country. 1t was after

building cost largely over $1,000, 600.
He was an author of note.

The legislature must be carried by
the democrats if there are to be re-
forms for North Carolina and a cessa-

ubiquitous laws must be repealed. The
legislature is the only tody that al
bring back peace, prosperity, hope and
happiness to the white people.
Nominate the very best men in every
county-men who command the re-
spect, confidence n support of the
people. Put honest men only on
guard.
Aim this year to bring out the So, 900
whites who never vote, never go to the
election precincts. There is the right
place to work night and day for the
deliverance of North Carolina from
ruiaous, unequal, corrupt, degrading
black radical rule.
Let every decent, self respecting pop
ulist be cordially invited to cooperate
with the democrats this year in res
cuing the state from barbaric rule.
Let all men with genuine white skins
and who are not ashamed of it, be
urged to give their needed help in this
struggle for a White Mans govern
ment. Come up to the help of those
who are fighting vandalic rule and ne
gro mastery.
