SURPRISING AGUINALDo.
An Unpleasant Duty. but 1t Must Be
Faithfully Performed.

Having under the protocol and later
under the treaty assumed the respon-
sibility for the government of the
Philippine islands, we are bound to
preserve order in Manila. Any hest
tation or timidity on Cte part would
have made the place a city of riot and
slaughter We should have millions
to pay in damages if TIVE permitted an
uprising in the city and an attack
upon life and property. II is not
enough to pay damages after the event
Our primary obligation is to- preserve
order, to protect life and property.
That duty General Otis is engaged in
performing. He is there by lawful
right, he is entitled to protect himself
against the annoyance and the Ghnger
of forays by the armed Filipinos, even
if the destruction of their forces is es-
sential to a full assurance of safety

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The usual services were held in the Presbyterian church yesterday with the exception of the eleven o'clock service, which was omitted and the congregation united with the Method ist congregation in listening to Bishop Vincent.
 In the evening a union service was held in the church ill which the two congregations united and were ad- dressed by the Rev. H. P. Lane of San Diego.
 The Methodist church in the morn ing and the Presbyterian church i1 the evening were crowded to their Ut most capacity, thus showing keen ap- pTeciati0n Of the two gentlemen who are residing temporarily in PhOenlX- The Rev. MT. Lane chose for his text, Matt, 27:36 and sitting down they watched him there
 The speaker began by saying, When Christ was born angels burst their bars and watching sang hallelujahs to the new born Savior, and from that time until He hung on the cross men were continually watching him and they are watching Him today.
 There were two classes Of watchers at the foot of Calvary, and my hearers there are two classes of watchers he~a tonight"
 The one class was composed of the indifferent, the scoffing, the mocking and the railing. The other class was composed of the penitent, the loving, the thoughtful and the loyal. And how did Jesus answer each class? For the first, He sent up a prayer of infinite tenderness and forgiveness, Father forgive them, for they know what they do;" and to the penitent thief, He said, To-day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise;" and the loving mother and the beloved disciple, He formed an in scparable bond between them.
 My friends you are watching Jesus tonight. To which class do you be- long?"

GOT A HURRIED VIEW
Ex-SeCrefdrY Morton Was in
 PhOenix Yesterday.
Was Accompanied by His Son Paul Horton, Second Vice pres Sident of inc Santa Fe-A Talk About Meat InSpeC fitn.

EX-SecretaTy of Agriculture J. Ster- lins Morton, his son, Paul Morton, who is second vice president and general manager of the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company, Mrs. Paul Morton and Miss Morris of Chicago ar rived in the city yesterday morning in MT. Morton's special car. They have been making a tour of the Pacific coast and came to Phoenix to get a hurried view of the Salt River valley. MT. R. E. Wells and MT. George NJ. Sargent of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road, took the party in hand and treated them to tally-hO ride to some Of the interesting nearby points. A special carried the visitors north at one o'clock. They will go directly to Chicago from Ash Fork.
 It may not De known to all of The Republican readers that j. Sterling Morton is the father of Arbor Day. He has lived over forty years at Nebraska City, Neb., where he has a palatial country home known as Arbor Lodge. Plant trees" has been his motto for many years. So earnestly did he urge the planting of trees by the different states that at last his suggestion re- Ceived national endorsement. As the years go on the value of his services in the direction of tree planting will become more and more manifest. MT. Morton's name will be revered in this country so long as tree lovers exist.
 He was secretary of agriculture dur ing MT. Cleveland's second term and did much to increase the efficiency of that important department of the government. His official acts were al ways characterized by broad guage views and nobody ever had to ask twice how the secretary of agriculture stood on questions of the day. While in San Francisco last week MT. Nor tons attention was directed to an at tempt being made in connection with the beef scandal to connect his name with the horse slaUghtering industry. In an interview he demonstrated that the information given out at Wash ington was not accurate and that an injustice had been done him. He said:
 ''The horsemeat packing plant at Hoboken mentioned in the dispatches was established and stamps of inspec-

 until January l, 1897. In this act Of June 6, 1896, the following language is used: An act amending and extend ing the provisions of an act Of con- gress entitled An Act Approving With Amendments, the Funding Act cf Ari- zona, Approved June p, 1S90 and the Act Amendatory Thereof and Supple mental Thereto, Approved August :, 1894, ." thus conclusively showing that congress itself in dealing with this sub ject treated the act of June 9. 1890, as an act of congress and not as an act of the territorial legislature, and in all its amendments to the act of June 25. 1890, it has treated the act as though the territorial legislature had no power or control whatever over the act.
Arizona republican., 1899-03-13

The conclusion is irresistible that the territorial legislature has no more power or authority over the act of June 9. 1890 as passed by congress. than they have over the organic law Of the territory. Both the organic law and the act of June 9, 1890, emanate from the same fountain head, viz: congress. A4 the laws of the terri torial legislature must be subordinate and not in conflict herewith
 1 am, therefore. clearly of the opin- ion that should you approve this act. nevertheless it would be void so far as It attempts to abolish the loan com mission of bhe territory, by endeavor- ing to repeal paragraph 2039, section 1. chapter l. title 31. revised statutes of as amended, approved and con- frmed by act If congress of June 9, 1890

 His religion is unchanging, because it is love, and love is ever and eternaily the same. Churches have changed their names, creeds and confessions have changed; but Christ and the truth have remained the same His gospel of self-sacrifice too often has appeared to be a gospel Of seIfshness, when men have sought to Ise it as Q sOlt of passport 70 heFvcn-a palace ear ticket to the New Jerusalem, having procured which they have settled back in their cushioned seats with sublime indifference to the needs of their friends or fellow passengers in the ordinary day coaches. Too often it has seemed to be rather a gospel Of greed than gospel of giving. a gOs- pel of vain glory rather than of hG- mility; but Whatever ir may have seemed to be it has been ever the same-teaching it's true followers to be humble. helpful. faithful, tcustful ser wants of the living God.
 Phoenix needs such a gospel today. Though all things earthly change, this changes not. Temples crumble to dust; magnificent cities are forgotten; empires pass away. Gods truth alone is eternal Here we have comfort for the Christian. hope for the hopeless. Beyond the clouds of sorrow the sun of righteousness is ever shining. God is the same long suffering Father. Christ is the same sympathizing Savior.
 We should live by earnest study, by continual T1raVpr l1I- fa r n fIII nbndIPOCa to learn for ourselves more Of the truth, that we may draw nearer to the source Of ali truth, and nearer also to all who in sincerity love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ The future at least is SeclIre

NO WORD FROM KEELING.

Speculation increases as no word Is received from Charles Riebling, who mysteriously disappeared Thursday evening, and no definite knowledge can Ee gained as to his whereabouts. Ills friends can in TO wise account for hlS sudden departure, and they state that his affairs which could easily be ad- lusted by his presence, are not so cas- fly settled in his absence. Alr. R1eD- ings wife is deeply grieved as re- suit of the occurrence and her uneasi- ness is aggravated by the fact that her husband has not established com municatiOn with her.
 Every possible measure is being taken to acqUaint MT. Riebling that his apprehensiOns on the business score are not well grounded, and 1t is hoped that he will return. Some or his heaviest creditors refrain from levying attachments believing that Mr Riebling will see his error in time that they may help him re-adjust mat ters. His brOther-in-laW. GeTret D. c. Root, believes that he will be reached through The Republican, arguing that it will be his first thought to study the Phoenix papers, and he has been ac- custOmed to reading The Republican and the San Francisco Call very thor oughIy However, his disappearance is as mysterious as at first and the only solution of the motive for so sud den departure at @ time when busl- ness matters seemed encouraging, is that he had met with several small business Accomplishments, and feeling unequal to further cope with reverses, left on the impulse Of the moment. He selected Q favorable time from the fact that his wife's father and brother were both visiting at his house, and his fam fly is not left destitute.

 If, therefore, the territorial logis,a- ture has power to amend or abolish section one Of this set Of congress, they have the equal right to abolish or
 
 section 15 above quoted It has never been claimed or cOnte1ded by any ter ritCTial legislature of this territory, that they had any such right; on the contrary, W hen they have desired the time extended nr this act of congress amended, they have applied directly to congress for sucn extension or amend ment. What congress meant, in my opinion, by the expression in the act of June 25, 1890, subject to future ter ritOrial Legislation" is, that the terri tOrial legislature could pass other and further laws on this subject as the ter Titory might require, not in conflict with the provisions of that act. and this conclusion is the natural deduction from the subsequent acts of both con- gress and the territorial legislature upon this subject, for they have booh treated this act of June 25, 1890, as ex- clusiVely under the control of con greSs and nCL subject to modification by territorial legislation.
 COngI esS by an act approved July 13, 1892, amended this act of June P, 1890, by providing that the interest on the4 bonds should be payable semi-an- nually on the 18th of January and July in each year. Again, on August 2, 1894 congress amended this act of June 25, 1890, by providing that the present outstanding warrants, certifi- cates and other evidences of indebted ness issued subsequent to December 31, i 1890, for the necessary and current ex- peEses of carrying on the territorial government only, together with such warrants as may be issued for such 1 purpose for the year ending December ] 31, 1894, and Decembe 31. 1895. might i also be funded and bonds issued fo~ the redemption thereof, and thereafte; i TO warrants, certificates CT other evi. ] dence of Indebtedness should be all lowed to issue or be legal where ] the same are in excess of the limit | prescribed by the Harrison act.
 And again on June 6. 1896, congress amended this act of June 25. 1890, also | the act of congress amending the same, i
