benefit the entire territory, crops out periodically. In discussing the de- feat Of a bill recently. one Of our PheniK exchanges argues that great wrong was done the territory. I; says: 1t Is the most meritOrious measure that has been introduced. lt is of vital importance to the Salt river valley. IL Is charitable to as- sume that the house overlooked the importance of this bill"
 Bills have been introduced in the legislature 10 exempt csnaigre insti- tutions from taxation, to exempt railroads from taxation and to e1. emPt irrigation enterprises. The whole "bloominv lot of these bills and every other bill providing for tax exemption should be knocked out Many people who might favor this class of legislation today would in few years curse the men who voted for it. The JOURNAL MINER has been uniformly opposed to tax exemption from the first. It opposed the twentY-year exemption law passed by the legislature of 1891. Many of the men who today are bowling against the results se- cured by that law were among the warmest advocates of the measure. Tax exemption is wrong in principle and should be discouraged. Al the same time if the Legislature holds out an Inducement of this kind to secure public or private enterprises, the contract should be adhered tO after securing the benefits, of such a | law. .

HE CRITICISES SCHLEY.
Long tells Why Sampson Should Be Pro
NOTED.


NOTED.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. II 1l.-Secretary
Long has sent to the Senate an eX-
haustive report in reply to the resO-
luton recently passed by that body,
calling upon the Navy Department
for all records in it's possession on
which the nominations of Admiral
Sampson and Schley to the present
grades were based.
Citing the reasons for the advance
ments of Admirals Schley and Samp-
son, Secretary Long says:
1.-THE advancement of Admiral
Sampson was proposed in recogni-
tion of his services in the execution
of his duties as cOmmanderin- chief
of all our ships engaged in the cam
paign in the West Indies; for the
supervision of all its details, where
ever distributed, for the blockade OF
| the island of Cuba; for the convoy
ing and landing of the army and CO.
operation with its movements and
pursuit, blockade and destruction of
the Spanish fleet, which destruction
on July by our fleet under his com
mand was the consummation OF his
orders and preparations beginning
on the first day of June. In this
connection the dispatch of Commo
dore Schley, dated July l, is peril
nent fact.
"The advancement of Commodore
Schley was proposed in recognition
of his services as next in rank at the
victory of Santiago. Where Sc
much was achieved in this culmi-
mating battle and when his ship was
such a conspicuous force in the fight

Dec. 81, lS9S.-It is SO hot and the
mosquitoes trouble one SO, that can
hardly write. Some people think
that we volunteers are having good
time. In one way we are. 'Tis
good time, compared to the hard.
ships our fathers underwent.
We may be having good
time in the minds of the high
collared, kid-gloved, red tied,
creased trousered "fellahs" who
shouted as we marched by, "Give
them hot shot fOt mel" We left our
home, our mother, father, brother,
sister and friends. We left our cozy
room, warm bed, delicious biscuit,
good ham, eggs, etc. We gave up
our positions to take up arms for
humanity's and our cOuutry's sake.
We came from our loved ones to
land of strangers Of strange nation
aIity. Instead of a cozy room we
are housed in a small tent with the
ground for "a floor. We gave up
warm beds for a resting place on the
ground of Cherokee park and the
sand and fog swept Camp Merritt.
We exchanged light biscuit for
hardtack, unbreakable and almost
tasteless. Our pure, cool waCer, for
water so full of foul germs that we
needs must boil every drop we take.
We gave up our healthy climate and
came here, knowing we were COM
ing to q land where yellow fever,
smallpox and malaria rage the year
round. Yet not man faultered
when we were ordered to march
aboard the ship.
And far worse than all this-we
sacrificed the liberty of an Ameri-
can citizen. A soldier has no
or write too much. If he does he
will be cOurt-martialed and sent to
| prison. He never knows one min
ute what he has to do the next. He
| has to humble himself and salute
men whom, in civil life, he would
not recognize. He must never kick
at anything, but patiently take in
suit and abuse. He has to scour
floors, wash windows, clean streets,
dig bitches, go to bed when he
doesn't want to and get up at q lik e
time. He is so sick he can barely
creep to the hospital, where he is
dOsed on castor-oil by the man who
smiles and says to himself, "He
won't come back here again, that
fixed him." But enough! Any
way, [ don't think I will hunt much

comes to wake me up I'll drOusily

GLANCE BACKW ARD.
Present Weather Compared with Pre-
vious Spells.

PRESENT w eatnef compared win ffe-
vious spells.
ADAMS, Tenn, Feb. i3.-Local
thermometers registered Is degrees
below zero this morning. The old
est men say that it is the coolest
weather in their memory. This
shows how treacherouS memory is.
The writer, referring to his fathers
diary as far back as 1859, finds the
following extreme readings of the
thermometer: Jan. 3, 1877, 10 de-
grees below zero; Jan. 8, 1877, Is be-
low; Jan. 3, 1879, below; Jan. 10,
1879, 10 below; Jan. g. 1886, s below
for two days and l2 below for two
days; Feb. 2, 1886, showed 36 hours,
feet deep; thermometer went to y
below zero. At no time between
1859 and December, 1870, was the
mercury as low as zero, and yet ice
was put up nearly every winter, and
creeks and rivers were frozen over.
| The latter occurrence never takes
/ place here now with the mercury
away below zero. Evidently prev
alence of great bodies of timber
had some influence upon them.
