Gainesville Sun: Those members of the
legislature Who have succeeded in secur-
ing what their constituents desired will
return to their homes ana receive the
plaudits Of the people while those who
have been less fortunate win experience

sentation they have had at Tallahassee.
St. Augustine Herald: And now the So
Ions from the state capital will go back
TO their constituents and volubly explain
why they did not accomplish those things
the people sent them there TO do, and
claim a big slice Of credit for doing lot

their plain duty and been successful they

Jacksonville Metropolis: One thing can
be said of this legislature that can't be
said of the last one. No ISLANDERS have
emanated therefrom. No whispers that
this and that man made "a pile" by sell

went to Tallahassee was provided with
sincere hope that on Saturday next the

Trinlng Causes OF Grent wars.


Many wars have had triling causes. A
dispatch altered in one or two points by
Bismarck brought on the Franco-German
conflict Palmerston said facetiously that
only three men in Europe ever knew what
the Schleswig- Holstein troubles which led
to two wars were about and two of them
died before the conflicts began, while he
the third man, had forgotten A sighting
reference by Frederick the Great of
Prussia 10 Madame Pompadour of France
was said to have been one of the causes
of the Seven Years war, sometimes called
the war CT the three petticoats," from
the fact that the France of Pompadour
and the Russia of Catherin II joined the
Austria OF Maria Theresa against Fred
erick.
According to John Bright England and
her allies drifted into the Crimean war
without realizing it until after they got
In, and they did not know what they were
fighting for even after they started; while
il is certain that everything which was
supposed to have been fixed by that con-
flict was disturbed afterward The re-
suits of the quarter of a century of wars
beginning with the commencement of the
French revolution and ending with Water
loo pleased nobody and settled nothing
according to Sheridan. The average per.
son who lived in those days knew as little
about the causes of the slaughter as old
Kaspar did about The battle of Blenhefm
when questioned by little Peterkin.
But the rise Of the people to power in
government has had a tendency to dimin-
ish The number of wars. The example
which the United States and England set
when, during Grants first administration,
they settled the Alabama-elaims contro-
Versy by arbitration is having an influ-
ence all over the world. Africa has been
peaceably divided up among several nation
in the past quarter of a century China
is being partitioned to-day among half
dozen countries in the same amicable
manner. The partitioning of North Amer
lea between England and France in the
eighteenth century caused series of wars
which, with a few short intervals, lasted
about eighty years.
The Hague gathering may take further
step toward diminishing what Erasmus

Sam Korrick: Why don't you take up the fiesta question again. I don t know of anything the newspapers could do that would benefit Phoenix So much as to successfully agItate this matter, fC. there is no enc thing that would bring so much money to town and leave it here as a well managed fiesta. There is nothing else that would ad- vertise the town so much. But what ever is done will have to be done soon. I don't think there would be any trouble in raising the money. I'll give more than my share and 1 believe that every right thinking business man iE town will come to the front.
 
 J. V. Edwards Of Martcopa: Travel PhceniGwGEd is better now than it was through most of January. Two weeks ago the incoming passengers fer Phoenix were CnIy two or three day when there should have been dczens. Now they are coming ill lively and our little hotels a1 the junction are crowded to their capacity. What caused the slump?
