THE SPRING NUMBER

The special edition of the Phoenix Republican, issued on Friday, March 31, was one of the best of the kind ever issued in the, territory. It cOn- sisted of twenty-fCur pages with an illustrated colored cover and contains very much valuable iuf0ralatiOn con cerEing the territory. There are large number of special interesting ar ticles on various subjects of special lD- terest, notably among which is one on statehood, contributed by Governor N. o. Murphy. While the resources of the entire territory are touched on briefly the Salt River valley resources are eX- haustively treated, and many illustra- tions of scenes and buildings iii the valley are tC be found < noticeable feature Of the edition is the conSricu- Ous absence of illustrations of indfvid- uals which is usually d prominent fpa : tu5e of such editi0ns.-Prescott Jour- nal-Miner

CURRENCY REFORM
The Wisdom of Going Slowly in This Matter Very Intelligently
 Comm ended

It has been decided, according to re- port, that the committee of republican congressman which is shortly to as semble at Atlantic City 70 formulate q scheme of currency reform for pre- sentdtiOn to the neXt congress, will not undertake to revoluticniZe the eX- isting system, but will coutne itself 10 the preparation Of q simple, practic- able and unObjectionable plan for it's amendment That will be the wisest and, indeed. the only safe and prcDar course. Experts and theorists may say that our currency system is radi- cally un9eientific and unsopnd, and that it needs to be reconstructed from the ground up, and that it would be good policy to undertake he work of reconstruction all at once or tC spring new currency plan upon the country on the verge of a presidential cicc- tion.
 The currency is a subi5ct on which people are sensitive. Their fetrs with regard to it may be very foolish their reluctance to allow the issue or paper mOney to pass under the exclusive ccn- trol of the banks may be unreasonable, but the wise politician will reckon with these fears and he will seek to overcome that reluctance rather than FSGlu ItI uDOn pdlnS uGt2 ltlGTe cause for suppCsing that the masses of the people will be unwilling to follow him. It is no use trying to go faster than the majority of the community and the political leader who knows his business, who las the qualifications for leadership, will not attempt Il. lie will make sure, to the best Cf ability, that he is heading in the right Girec- tiOn, and then he will move along in that direction no faster or farther than those whom he essays to l2ad are able and ready to keep up with him. He must be Q little ahead, of course, other wlse he were no leader but he must not be out of sight or touch or hearing of his followers.
 These are truths which thc men who have 61cl CAarge5 ~'th -h@ duty Of forming currency bill will Go well to keep steadily in mind. rlle secret of successful pohtics i5 to attempt no more than is possible and g currency bill to get through congress and to command the approval of the country

THE ANGLO-S ANON.
Why Lady Randolph Churchtl Has Chosen That Title for Her
 New Magazine.

T am an Ang1oSaxou myself so can on that account devote myself through my new quarterly to the work of knitting together the various fami- lies of our widely scattered people with all the more sincerity" was the state ment, made with intense emphasis, by Lady Randolph Churchill when asked her latest plans for her eagerly expect ed periodical.
 The Angl0-Saxon' seems to me to be an admirable title ior the quarterly. It has been chosen after deep thought and consultation with many eminent and experienced people, for Arthur Balfour has expressed his approval of it, so has Lord RCsebary. so has Mrs. Craigis, and several others. I wanted a title that would appeal to the Amer jeans as well as Britons, and I think I have hit upon it. Thero will be roth- ing political in it. We snail deal i7 public affairs, literature, science and art in the sense of larger appeal to the Anglo-Saxon community, but our contributors will be cultured people Of all races, and hope to make 6 special feature of articles by leading people on unexpected topics
 Lady Randolph had q dummy copy of the first number to he published in June in her hands and, turning it's blank pages over, one could not hrlp seeing the title of one article. Brain and Muscle" by Lord Ro5Gbery. The volume is elegantly bound in dark green leather, with 2 French seven teenth century design in gold. The designs are to change with each num- Der. This one was most effective.
 Another feature of our quarterly .~F, private collections possessed by most of ths old English families of position. I have in view at present several such collections, containing historical and romantic matter of the greatest inter- est Their interest will ba mainly his torical. This department will be un- der the control Of MT. Arthur Strong, librarian to the house of lords. Then, again, I have procured permission to reproduce in artistic phorOgrdvure many historical English portraits never before available to the public in any form This work will be in the hands of MT. Lionel Gust, director of the National Portrait galeTy. We in tend the Anglo-Saxon not to be merely an ephemeral publication. but a book which fer the artistic value of its con tents people will keep in their librar ies. We aim at achieving something more notable in periodical literature than has yet been attempted"
 There is no room for doubt concern : ing Lady Randolph's enthusiasm and confidence, still less concerning her en- ergy. She is ably seconded in all pub fishing matters by John Lane of the Bcdley Head, who goes to New York almost immediately to complete ar engagements for simultaneous American publication.-FIom London Gable Letter.

WATER AND EMINENT CITIZENS.

CHICAGO3s GREAT DITCH.
St. Louis Still Afraid That It Will Gen.
 taminata Her Water Supply.

The Chicago Tribune recently print ed letter bearing a St. Louis date line in which the writer approved the fit Chicago. St. Louis, and aii the in tervening country. His logic is more picturesque than conEiaa:pg He corn- pares Chicago in it's uncovered condi- tion to a swamp, without an 0u1lct, that breeds disease-dsalimg miAsmas and gases. The Tribune correspond ent contends that, if the swamp is drained, it vii become innocuous, be cause thereby the sewage will he oNi- dized before it is carried 100 miles from Chicago.
 This contention is attacked by pr. Romainc J. Curtiis. tOrfnerlE mem Der of the faculty of the Chicago MedI- cal college. in . communication to the Peoria News. He shows that the &n- alogy of the Tribune correspondent does not fit,
 4 swamp when draired and culti vated loses it's power to poison the atz mosphere and sic3en those wh6 breathe it. Once drained it is always drained But in the instance of Chi cago and it's drainage ditch, the swamp can never be drained, because, as fast as the daily deposi. ol sewage Is poured out through the outlet, it is re- enforced by an equal amounC entering the canal every twenty-fOur hours. and this process of replenishment will go on perpetuaIly once 1he canal is com pleted. Moreover, the discovery Of germs as the cause of most diseases has changed medical opinion on the purifying action Of running water.
 This presentation Of the case would seem to put those theorists who con tend that sewage is rendered innCcu- ous by the action of current water on the defensive. It will tax all their re- sources of learning and argument to answer convincingly the query in which Dr. Curtiss condHnses his op- position to the canal: If a running stream Euriffes itselt of any quantity Of filth daily, and makes a nuisance, then, if exactly the same quantity of filth is added daily to the stream, when will the stream De purified and the nuisance reach an end?'-St. Louis Republic.

WEIGHTS OF VILE ANIMALS.

What does a lion weigh?" Ask that question of any acquaintance and sea what he will say. Those who know the look of the king of beasts best and how small his 1.-the body really is Will probably come furthest from the truth. About 300 to $50 pounds is usual est'- mate. But this is below the mark. A full grown lion will tip the scales at no less than 500 pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds is the record for an African lion. His bone is solid and heavy as ivory.
 The tiger runs the lien very close. A Bengal tiger killed two years age by an English officer, sealed 520 pounds. A tig5r of this size has, however, con siderably greater muscular strength than the biggest lion. Few people know that grizzly bear can give poinss to any other carnivorOus ami nal in point of strength. A grizzly bear weighing just 400 weight has been watched carrying a heifer of more than two-thirds It's own weight for two miles up the most steep and rugged mOuntainside, ard this without paus- ing for one instant for rest The gIiH- Zly hear is the largest and most power full of all the bear tribe, but his cousin, the cinnamon bear, runs him very close, ard the big white polar bear, though not really so dangerous a cus- toner is capable Of performing the most extraordinary feats of strength.

How he did 1t he alone knows. The Chinaman has no clear idea of it. He understood that by paying the premiums promptly he would be entitled to 5000 some time He began botheTing the agent for the money after a couple of weeks had passed, and the agent tried to explain to him that he would have to die ba- fore he could get it. The Chinaman fell down a cellarway in Grant street and was badly hurt. His friends cried to attend to him without calling in a doctor. When they did call in one two days later the doctor was angry.
 Why didn't you call me sooner"'' he asked. This man is half dead now.''

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Ha-
waiian Minister of Finance was at the
Treasury Department today to consult
officials. He said that he was on his
way to Europe to secure immigrants
from among the better class in North
ern Italy and Sweden to Hawaii, and
inquired if any obstacle would be
placed in the way under the United
States immigration laws. Assistant
gress had not yet extended the immi-
grafton laws to Hawaii, the Govern
ment could not interfere and, moreover
had no desire to do So even if the class
of immigrants secured was good
