Major general Hutton, commanding
the militia forces of Canada, can give
her Maiesty's standing army points
on military discipline and etiquette.
The general harbors a conviction that
mutual admiration societies are not
provocative of increased efficiency in
the profession of arms. He has, there
fore, issued general order forbidding
all expressions of appreciation or cen
sure, of whatever sort, by officers or
soldiers aimed at their superiors, and
forbidding commanding officers to per-
NIT subscriptions for testimonials in
in any shape to superiors on quitting
the service or on being removed from
their corps" No more complimentary
militia banquets, swords, loving cups,
addresses or things. Now look out for
Canada's militiamen if they ever go
to the wars.

1t is common and not unnatural
thing for workmen in any line to OPP
pose the introduction of labor saving
machinery. And yet, while this may
uphold their selfish interests for a
brief time it cannot stay the progress
of improvement. Engineering, the
well-known English authority, says
that British workmen are steadfastly
opposed to the introduction of modern
American labor saving machinery, and
this opposition is supported by strik es
and other labor-union tactics. We
now see the retribution for this narrow
eelfishness, when large orders Tor To-
comotives and in fact nearly all kinds
of machinery are being taken away
from British firms and sent to Amer
lea. Our more liberal and enterpris-
ing methods and our universal use of
machinery makes it possible for us to
under bid English firms, notwithstand-
ing we pay our machinists from two to
three times what machinists in Eng
land are paid. A safe rule to adhere
to is not to try to stop the juggernaut
car of progress.

The future happiness and prosperity
of the great republic is based upon
the scientific education of the people
touching agriculture, philosophers
the st. Louis Star. The man who
succeeds in inducing two blades of
grass to grow where only one grew be-
fore will be the benefactor Great
farms must give way to smaller ones,
aud smaller ones to those of still
lesser area, until the farm, as now
thought of, will not be known-an
acre, half acre, fourth of an acre, a
lot, patch of ground will constitute
the extent of the farms of the not
very distant future. When that time
comes, if education, precept and ex-
ample are properly inculcated the acre
will produce more than does now the
100 acres, and the patch will be more
prolific than is now any of the small
model farms of from 10 to 40 acres.

THE GOLD SEEKERS.

For those there be who will come again,
All broken and worn and wan.
While others left in the Arctic SHOWS
Will slumber forever on.
And some will empty-handed come,
Who have missed the golden goal,
And some with gold too dear, alas !
The price of sinless soul.
And those at home will sit at night
And the wind sweeps whore it wills
With hearts away in Il stumbling shack
In the wild Alaskan hills.
'Tis thus l muse on the lonely quay,
Whence the hurrying crowd is gone
While far away for the frozen north
A flag of smoke trails on.

Away from the crowded pier;

And leave me musing here.

Lies hid in the dark earth's breast;

Aglow with the golden quest.

PHRNIx. MAY 20. 1sse.
nR,ANs-M1ss1ssIPPI CONGRESS.

Indications point to very success
 ful meeting Of the Mississippi
 congress to be held at Wichita, Kan
 sas, at the end Of this month. The
 congress has held nine sessions and 1t
 claims to have influenced the national
 congress tc a greater degree than all other bodies in the United States com bfned. It has had much to do Tn bringing about the annexation of Ha- waii, the national bankrupt law, re-
 dl1ced railway transportation and in
 crystallizing sentiment in fav1F of the construction of the Nicaragua canal
 The agricultural and commercial in- terests of the great west undoubtedly
 have been greatly advanced as a re- suit of the work of this organization of progressive western men. The gov ernors of the western states and terri tories have been requested te attend the congress and to appoint as dele gates public spirited men. In tba case of Arizona it is to be hoped that Gcrv- ernpr Murphy will go to Wichita at the head Of delegation Of ASSSO~145 CAl1LC11S. 1o It, AA-eeAA wkla has the welfare of Ari- zona deeper at heart than he, and no man is better qualified to present it's claims than he. His article on staJe- hood Irlblished in the spring edition of The Republican has received tka endorsement of all friends of state hood, and very favorable notice in the east. The governor ai4o has taken 8 decided stand il support of the proposition to cede the arid lands to the states and territories wherein located, and as this subject is bound to receive consideration at Wichita his voice should be heard there in support Of the plan. The Re publican hopes that the governor will attend the congress, believing that his presence there would bring lasting good to the territory. Arizona ought n6t to lose an opportunity to make known it's resources and it's wishes u the world at large. Let us fbe repre- 1 sented at the Trans Mississippi con- l grees by men who will wcrk there for the relief Arizona needs so much.
