 The five men chosen by the presi- dent to represent the United States are happily distributed. Two are conspic- uOus in the diplomatic service, enc comes from high station in civic life. one from the army and one from the navy. Our foreign relations, our do- nestle politics, the scholarship and humanity and material interests of the nation and both branches of the mili t2ry service are thus represented To such commission the presentation of the American view of the questions considered may confidently be intrust- ed. Not all the delegates of other na- tiOns have yet been announced, but enough have to indicate that the con- gress at The Hague will be in per sOnal composition worthy of the au- gust themes which are to form the matter of it's deliberations. Not even such compost tion, of course, insures the achievement of great results. The fable of the mountain and the mouse is not forgotten. But it would be not only ungracious, but something akin lO lI0dSOIl, lO lIle UCpGS OI AuLIea1AlIy for men to discredit the work of the congress in advance, or to predict any thing but a favorable outcome from it's work. We may we'll leave it to the Tolstoyites to rail against it, as they are even now so copiously doing. Men who take sane view of human rela- tionships will sincerely hope that through the labors of this eminent as- semblage the likelihood of war may to scme degree be lessened, the hor- TOTS of war be mitigatsd, the burdens of militarism be frightened, and the thoughts and desires of men be turned the world over more toward peace and it's blessings and less toward war and its so-called glorios.-New York Trib' uEe

PRACTICES WHAT HE BREACHES

The Prescott Courier and Tucson Star certainly do not intend to injure any one by the wfIful circulation Of vicious untruths- Tn chaGity to them it is fair to believe that they have been misinformed Tlte Star of April IS says:
 "The Courier takes Governor Mur- phy to task because the governor ad- vises the people of Arizona to give in honest assessments on the vaIuation of their taxable property That to fail in this is violation of the law; in fact, something like unto perjury The objection of the Courier to the governors lecture to the taxpayers is that th.e. governors name does not ap- pear on any tax roll of the territory, not even for jewelry or otaac personal property"

cH1LD's SONG IN SPRING.

The silver birch is dainty lady. She wears a satin gown; The elm tree makes the old church yard shady, She will not live in town. The English oak is q sturdy fellow, He gets his green coat late; The willow is smart in a suit of yellow, While brown the beech trees wait. Such a gay green gown God gives the
 larches- As green as He is goodi The hazels hold up their arms for
 arches When Spring rides through the
 wood. The chestnut's proud, and the lilac's
 pretty, The popl&r's gentle and tall. But the plain trees kind to the poor
 dull city I love him best of all.

SOMETHING ABOUT LEASES.

MT. Monihon in lis speech at thc' he was in favor of the city owning its own water works and sewerage sys- tems. He neglected 10 explain why 1t was that in the bond campaign last January he was one of the crowd that villified the mayor and city council for submitting to the people the very proposition he now says he favors. In view of his pronounced attitude against municipal ownership only few months ago who will believe that if elected mayor he will favor what he then said was impracticable, illegal and unwise.
 A few days subsequent to thsl bond election Mir Monihon advocated the. leasing by the city Of the present water works and sewerage systems So plan. The city now is a party to f:cse made by Mr Monihon when he was mayor which ought to open the eyes of the voters. This lease was made with the Gamewell Fire Alarm company and provides that the city may purchase the fire alarm plant the first year for s2,90o; but it fur ther r.ovides that if the city does not purchase it shall pay $60 per mCnth for it's use for five years. In that length of time the city will have paid the Gamewel company S3.600, or s700 more than the company asked for the entire plant. At the end of the five years, although the city will havC paid the Gamewell company $3,600, the Gamewe1 company will still own the fire alarm system and the city will have absolutely nothing to show for the $3,60O it has paid. How would the taxpayers of Phoenix like to see lease executed with the water works and sewerage companies on the lines of this one? And yet the man who was instrumental in fastening the Gameweu lease on the city wants to ibe placed back in power.

Puerto Principe. Prov -l.ce CT Puerto Principe, Cuba, April 23.-Ttts prov ince IS perfectly quiet at p-esers and has not been the scene of any dis tuTbanceS.
 There has been considerable typhoid fever in the Eighth United States cav airy, but he majority of the cases are convalescert. Th5' Fifteenth United States infantry has not suffered.
 Owing to the lack Of funds it is inn psgoible to do much sanitary work in this city, and as 8 result the sart tation is very bad In fact, it is strange that typhoid fever does not prevail in malignant form.
 General Recio, fhe civil governor Of this province, says that before the WAT the cattle in this province numbered 700,O00, but that TOW there are less than 10000 head, although the pasture land is really magnificent.

PROFESSOR MARSH AND Lo.

| To his intimates She late Prof. Marsh
 was known not only as a scientific
 man of great ability and worldwide reputation, but also as a delightful companion. quick and witty, with 9
 keen appreciation of humor, and a
 narrator of capital stories. One or
 these. which he used to tell of himself
 with great effect, dealt with small
 adventure had many years ago in the Rocky mountains.
 The first month or two of the trip had been spent on the plains of Ne braska and Wyoming. at that time the hunting ground of Sioux and Chey- ennes. who were bitterly hostile, and signs Of whose presence near the com- mand were often seen. The whole party realized that they were in a dangerous country, and all hands were constantly on the watch for enemies and were careful not to wander far from the command; or if two or three fossil gatherers did go off from the main body they took with them number of soldiers to stand guard while they worked. After leaving this dangerous region the expedition moved on to the bad lands near Fort Brldger, where there were but few in dfans, and those friendly ones, and the work of gathering fossils went on.
 One day Prof. Marsh was hard at work on his knees in the bottom of the narrow ravine digging away the soii from a bone which stuck out of the bank. He was entirely absorbed in his task, and noticed nothing of what was going on about him until the bril- liant sunlight, which poured down or. him, was cut off by a dark shadow. and he looked up to see standing above him a great grim Indian war rior. holding his rife at ready. The professors heart leaped Into his throat He forgot where he was. He strove to utter 3 propitiatory How. but his dry lips refused to form the word, and he could only swallow, try ing to get rid of the lump in his throat. Suddenly the savage bent to- ward him and spoke. Have I the honor of addressing Prof. OthneiI Charles Marsh, the eminent paleo1s tologist of Yale college?' he inquired. The rsvulsion of feeling was almost too much for the professor, who was now even less able to speak than he had been before.
 It developed that the Indian as a small boy had been sent east, Chris tianized, educated, taught the elements Of theology, and sent back to the west to civilize his tribe; but he had not carried the civilization far.-Forest and Stream.

THE PEACE CONGRESS.
Hone That the Likelihood of War May
 to Some Degree Be Lessened.

The appointment of five Amsrican delegates to the czar's international peace congress is a reminder that the date of the meeting of that interesting body is near at hand. The time and place are vel chosen, for, whatever the bard may have reckoned matter for the May morning" the common sentiment marks the coming month as a season of peace and joy and new springing life. Nor are there many lands on earth more given to peace and htr good works than Holland, nor many cities less ominous of war than The Hague, nor yet many meeting places so given to quiet and repose as the historic house in the wood and it's great hall adorned in memory of the peace of Munster. At such a season and in such a place it should be easy for mems minds to dwell on thoughts Of peace and to devise ways for pre- serving the peace un0rOken. And yet it might also be as easy to do so with in a fortress, surrounded with all the pomp and circumstance of war. Apart from sentimenal fitness, we shall have

THE SPECIAL EDITION.
It Contained Something of Phoenix
 Hotel Facilities.

A late number of the Denver Hotel Bulletin says: we are indebted to MT. George M Walker, manager of the Adams hotel, Phoenix, Ariz., for 2 copy of a special edition of The Ari- zona Republican of that city, which is a budget of information concerning that state, and has the following re- garding the Adams hotel:
 '' '''While there are esihsr very good hotels in Phoenix, the Adams hotel has the distinction of being the larg- est. It was opened in December, 1896, the cost of the building anI fur nishings being $20O,000. It is bLilt of pressed brick anu brownstone, Is four stories in height, with wide ve- randas on every floor and is modern in all respects.
 " The hots1 contains 150 rooms comprising spacious parlors and halls, dining room 95x45 feet, and office 40x6O feet Sixty-six of the suites Of rooms have private porcelain baths; there is an elevator service, and the entire establishment is run upon as liberal and elaborate a scale as any hotel to be found in any eastern city of four times the size of Phoenix.
 $ The furnishings are probably as high class and expensive as in any hotel in the United States, and the hotel can care for over 200 guests, every Toort being an outside one.
 ''"The management is in the hands of MT. George M Walker, an able and experienced hotel man, who in con- junction with MT. j. C. Adams. the proprietor, leaves nothing undone that will add to the comfort Of the guests
 MT Walker will be in charge of the Manitou and Mansions hotels at Manitou again this summer"

NAT HAS BECOME A LUXURY.

Nat Goodwin has determined upon a bold step for next season, when he will charge B apiece for orchestra seats wherever he may appear. This is the recognized tariff in New York, but in other cities it has been found difficult to make the exaction, excepting Tn connection with the visits of the great est foreign stars. IF MT. Goodwin is equally fortunate it is quite likely that all the leading attractions will follow suit in due course.

At this writing we are unabIa to as- certain whether the Gazette is for Monihon or for Gang for mayor. It is giving both taffy.

Arizona republican., 1899-04-25

J. D. Monihon has come out like a man and announced just where he stands on city questions. Has MT Gang done so?-The Phoenix Herald.
 We do rot know Whether Mir Gang has defined his position or not We do know that MT Monihon has defined his with so great frequency that he does not appear to be standing" any whsre. When last heard from he favored municipal ownership of everything. Last winter he opposed public control. He now says hebeleves in an extension of the limits. A few weeks ago he was meeting with per- sons in the additions, aiding and abet- ting them in their opposition to exten- sion. The Herald should publish MT. Monihon's position with respect to tcity questions" daily, just as it pulp fishes daily weather reports.

Two years ago last winter, when MT. Monihon was mayor, he made, or tried to make, an address of welcome to the members of the irrigation congress. His performance was so ludicrous that the visitors ridiculed him in their speeches during the convention. Do the voters of this town care for more experience of this sort?
