ARTISTS LEAD PENCILS.

The finest of the artists pencils are
made of q remarkably fine and pure ST.
berian graphite that is worth, perhaps,
half it's weight in silver. This is ground
and regrOund to give it a perfect uni
formity of texture, and 1t is then sub
jected to a process called sluicing, in
which the powdered graphite is fioated
upon the surface Of water. Grit or
other impurities separate themselves
from it here and sink. the graphite
then being skinned off. There is
mixed with this, for the making Of the
pencil leads, some portions of q Ger
man clay that is itself a texture so fine
that a finished surface has to the touch
the smoOthness Of silk. This admiX-
ture of clay is requisite to hold the
lead together; the degree of the leads
softness being governed largely by the
proportion Of clay used.-New York

PROSPEROUS TERRITORY.

Numerous paragraphs in the terri
torial newspapers show that New Mex
leo is making rapid progress and that
prosperity prevails in every county.
The mining industry shows remarkable
development. New mines are being
opened and old ones are being worked
to their full capacity. Every town in
the territory reports business good and
buildings in course of erection. No
part OF the United States is making
more substantial progress than New
Mexico. Towns, mines, ranches,
schools, railroads, in fact, everything
in the territory, shows prosperity. All
that is needed is continuous republican
prosperity and statehood. With these
boons the people will do the rest and
make New Mexico one of the richest
and best portions of the United States.

he asked for and obtained commits

Major Logan was a speaking likeness

the same desire to win distinction. He
hoped through well directed effort in

for the cotton growers of Dixie and the
prospect of the south assisting to limit
instead of increase that market is
causing an agitation among the think
tanks of progressive southern business
men Politics is well enough in it's way
but politics which deliberately hurts
business seems to be quite another
thing. And so the cotton factors of
South Carolina have been putting their
senators on the rack and asking them
very disagreeable questions about their
attitude regarding the Philippines.
These queries stimulate our esteemed
contemporary. the Savannah News. to
the following significant editorial eX
preston:
I'VE shall not be at all surprised if
within a year there is a stronger senti-
ment in the south in favor of retaining
the Philippines-at least until the Fill
ipinos are fitted for self government
than in any other section of the coun
try. A noteworthy instance of the
change that is going on in the posi-
tions of public men on this Philippine
matter is the recent letter of Senator
Tillman of South Carolina to the man
ufacturers of that state. Senator Nc
Laurin has always held the opinion
that the Philippines ought to be re-
tanned, but the senior senator has held
a different opinion.
1.-The South Carolina manufacturers
asked Senator Tillman to support the
administration in advancing American
commercial interests in the far east.
In his answer he said: I opposed the
annexation of the Philippines, but 1 am
ready to vote men and money to pre-
vent the Asiatic market being closed
to our manufacturers In the course
of his answer the senator said that
he had been of the opinion that the
commercial interests of this country in
the far east could be protected without
the Philippines. but the foregoing ex-
tract indicates that his views on that
subject are undergoing, if they have
not already undergone, a change"

We are at a loss to understand why
General Miles should pass through
Arizona without seeing Phoenix and
Whipple and Prescott. Many years
have passed since General Miles was
in this section of Arizona. The north
and south road has been built in the
interval, and vast country that was
accessible only by primitive means of
travel when he was campaigning here
has been opened to the world. Whip
pie is now one of the most important
strategic points in the southwest and
if the general of the army were to in
spect it now he could not fail to recog-
nize its advantages as a station for
troops. Recent events in northern Ari-
iona have directed attention to Whip
pie. and it will be strange if the war
immediate rehabilitation. 1t would be
advantageous to northern and central
Arizona if General Miles could be in
duced to prolong his stay in the terri
tory a few days and see some of the
marvellous changes that have been
wrought since the early days. It is to
be hoped that he will revise his plans
and come directly here from Tucson.
If he does so he will be richly repaid.

The Phoenix Water company may be
expected to fight the municipal owner
ship project to the bitter end. That is
all the better reason why the taxpayers
should push the matter in order that
the struggle may be over at the earliest
possible moment. There is no dispo-
sition to injure the company's legiti-
mate interests. The city must have
an adequate water system and if the
water company insists on standing in
the way it may expect to be run over.

POWER OF THE PRESS.

The newspapers of Phoenix were
unanimous against the late action of
the city council on the water works
subject. The opposition of the press
alone means any mans downfall. as
there has never been a man created
thus far in the age of the printing
press that can withstand its opposi-
ton and no man goes down quicker be-
fore its attacks than the public man.
The great wonder is that men will OPP
pose the wishes of their constituents
in face of such odds when the result
always ends in that mans ruin.-Wil-

An uncharted reef is officially re-
ported as responsible for the loss of the
fine cruiser Charleston. which was
wrecked on Sunday in the Philippines.
1t is a source for generalization that
none of the officers or crew lost their
lives as the result of the loss of the
ship. The Charleston was one of the
best cruisers OF its type in our navy
and was commanded by one of the
ablest of naval officers Its destruction
is renewed evidence of the dangers of
navigation along a coast and in an
archipelago where Spanish rule for
centuries past has been too busy in
plundering the inhabitants to bother
itself with such an unimportant mat
ter as making sOundings. erecting bea-
cons and lighthouses and charting
reefs and rocks for the benefit of navi-

AN APPEAL FOR PONs' PARDON.
nut Gov. insolvency Says He VIII
Not Interfere in the Case.

NOT Ane Ouhts
Columbia, s. c., Nov. 13.-Gov. Nc
Sweeney has received from Attorney Cen
eral w. B. Lamar, of Florida, an appeal
for executive clemency in the case of
Pons, the Fioridian recently convicted Of
bigamy and sentenced to the Barnwel
county chain-gang. The attorney general
says that he writes from his sick ROOM
that he wrote the Governor some time ago
but by some mistake the letter was not
forwarded.
The father of the convict, he says, was
state treasurer of Florida. and was one
of the best and puTest of men. His family
connections are large and most estimable
and his people are deeply shocked and
grieved at his conviction. He says:
You would convey great JOY to his dis
tressed relatives and friends If you could
see your way clear to some immediate re-
lief for Mr.. Pons from his punishment 1
had the honor of serving in the Governor
cabinet with Mr.. Pons' father while he
was state treasurer. l remember his many
noble traits of character and his strict
fidelity to duty. l am deeply grieved for
his family in their great sorrow"
Gov. insolvency says he considers the
crime objectionable, and he will never in
terfere with the sentence of a man guilty
of this outrage against womanhood.
