Senator Hurley of Tennessee gets through next March. He has announced that he doesn't want any more. The governor of the state, Benton McMillin, and the congressman from the Tenth district, Editor E. W. Carmack of Memphis, locked horns over the sena- torship some time ago. Now Chief Jus tice Snodgrass, the learned but impul- sive pistol toter who shot Lawyer Beasley of Chattanooga, has notified all concerned that he wants to be a senator himself. There is talk of d series of joint debates. If anything of the sort is arranged, it might be as wei to make sure that the chief justice has not deadly weapons in his clothes be- fore the speaking begins.

In granting respite Of thirty days to George Smiley, who was to have been hanged today at Holbrook for the crime of murder the governor has ad- ministered a well merited rebuke to F. J. Wattron, sheriff of Navajo county. The invitation issued by Wattron to those whom he desired to witness the execution abounded in levity as coarse as it was unseemly. It was of the their ideas of Arizona from the Ari- zona Kicker naturally would expect in connection with an Arizona hanging. The coarseness of the language en- ployed by the sheriff has given rise to much adverse criticism in the east, and a great injury has been done the terri tory thereby. The governors action is intended to offset this bad impression. It will be necessary for the sheriff of Navajo county to issue a fresh invita- tion, and if he considers his best inter ests he will make it conform to the rule which governs similar proceedings in all civilized communities. The day of Arizona's ''rawness" is passing, and the sooner men like Wattron are made to appreciate the fact the better it will be for the credit of the territory.

they must respect. It will bring to them definite, practical benefits, which they are in a condition to appreciate. It will mean smoother and more honest administration, more equitable taxa tion, wider opportunities for competi- ton in the labor field, broader markets for their products. more accessible educational advantages. and. above all. immunity from an irresponsible despot- ism from which there is no appeal.

The discussion by Secretary of War Root in his annual report of the case
 of Porto Rico is clearly
 ROOT the most important fea- ON PORTO ture of that document,
 RICO. which at such time as
 this holds many possi- Utilities for interesting the people. He approaches the matter from a legal standpoint, which he is personally well fitted to occupy. His broad determina- ton Is that the people of the island are as yet unfitted to recognize the power of the majority. This tendency, he be- lieves, Is the secret of the unrest among the people of the South American and
 West Indian republics. It must be checked before self government in all its attributes can be accorded to such populations without involving many chances for trouble. Secretary Root believes that the process of educating the Porto Ricans to a proper apprecia- ton of the American system can read fly be instituted, with every prospect of success. By extending to the island certain of the federal laws and GUS toms. and by inaugurating a safe de- gree of local self government, the in habitants will quickly be brought into contact with q majority power which

If the statehood movement is to be non-partisan it should have the SUD- port of every person who is interested in the progress of the territory. If 1t is designed merely to forward the ambi- tions of office seekers it will come to naught. If a committee is to be se- iected to go to Washington and work for statehood it should be composed of men who primarily have no selfish ends to attain, and who are acquainted with the methods that obtain at Wash ington. A delegation that would rely mainly on representations made to the two committees on territories would be of no use whatever. Personal in fiuence is of prime importance in a matter of this character. If politics is kept out of the movement. and the
 right sort of men are picked to go to Washington, there may be some tan gible results before the winter is over.

BOYS IN BUSINESS.
What Happens to Them When They
 Leave School too Soon.

On the station platform two men stood waiting for their train. Another man with a pick and shovel on his shoulder was passing, on his way to work.
 He was not more than 50 or 55 years old, but his gait was stiff and labored, and there was a pronounced stoop in the figure. His overalIs. once brown, were lime bleached and faded to a soft ''old rose" and bagged dejectedly at the knees. The face under the wealth CT beaten cap was stolid and listless.
 As he clumped along in his heavy cowhide boots, he apparently embodied that most persistent and most pathetic figure which mediaeval Europe called the serf and more modern Europe calls the peasant, and the census enumera- tor of free America today sets down as ''unskilled labor
 As he crossed the track the elder of the two men pointed him out to his companion.
 That man and l." said he, were schoolmates He was not dull at his books, and he ought to have made a better condition for himself in life
 Whats the matter with him? Does he drink?" asked the younger man.
 No. Nothing of that kind has him dered him. When he was about 15 years old he was offered s1 day to dig on a cellar. This seemed large wages to him, and he left school and took the job. He was proud of his size and strength, and this offer made him feel so independent that he rather looked down on the rest of us boys. He never went back to school. He found work to do that required no skill or technical knowledge, only muscle used under an overseer's direction, and he kept at it.
 "I- remember Judge Haines, one of the school committee, met Tom-his name is Tom Mahan-and said to him: My boy, you're making a misLtalle and doing a foolish thing. If you must work, why don't you learn trader
 "'Td have to give my time for three or four years for nothing. What would be the use of that? I'm as strong as a man, and I'm getting mans wages now said Tom.
 'Strong?' said the judge. Are you as strong as one of my horses? They work for their keep, but I have to pay the man that drives them $50 a month. besides his keep; and the man who shoes them S3 a day. If strength counts for so much wonder the horses don't strike and look for a job laying brick or carpentering.'
 But Tom thought the judge was only joking with him. He couldn't see why he should give his time to learn a trade or some profitable business, and work for nothing, as he said, when he could work for wages. and so he went his own way"
 There are thousands like him." said the other man. 'They never learn to do any special kind of business, and never seem to realize that the reason the trained blacksmith or the skilled carpenter or the salesman gets higher wages than they do is because he has given time to learning to use his head, as well as his feet and hands.
 If boys would only keep the impor- tant fact in mind that muscle-mere physical strength-is always one of the cheapest things in the labor market, and that, so far as price is concerned, it matters little whether a man fur nishes it or a horse, there would be fewer men to be classed as 'unskilled labor Youths Companion.

PHGNIx, DECEMBER 8. 1890.

from the capitol building at Washing
 ton to Mount Vernon IS
 A being revived by the NATIONAL Mount Vernon Avenue BOULEVARD association. A member
 of the association has been talking to a New York Sun reporter about the boulevard, making the prediction that next year will see something doing in the matter. The association is chartered under the laws of the state of Virginia, and the Vir- ginia legislature has transferred to it a claim against the government of s12o,0O0. with the understanding that, when the money is collected, it shall be used in the construction of the boule- yard.
 Congress made an appropriation of $10.000 in 1888, for a preliminary survey of the route, and President Cleveland and Secretary of War Endicott were quite interested in the matter, MT. En- dicott advocating the making of other Appropriations. The proposed boule yard will run from the western end of the capitol building, through the Mall south of the White House, and near the monument, to the Potomac, at the western terminus of New York avenue. It will cross the Potomac over the pro- posed memorial bridge which will unite the capital with the Arlington National cemetery. On the Virginia side, it is planned to have the boulevard follow the course of the river to Alexandria, and thence go to Mount Vernon, over the route used by Washington when he travelled from Mount Vernon to Christ church, Alexandria. The distance is seventeen miles, and the width of the proposed avenue will be two hundred and fifty feet.
 The main scheme seems to be loaded down with accompanying plans, to say nothing of the mass of suggestion. There is an agitation in favor of divid- ing up the distance along the highway into as many sections as there are states and territories. Of course, fo.-
  arches, and monuments and what not, trees and shrubs native to the differ ent states, and innumerable statues. Some one wants, half way between Washington and Mount Vernon. a plaza, in the center of which there shall be a temple dedicated to the pres idents and vice presidents of the coun- try. In this temple a statue of each statesman shall be erected. Another man wants, somewhere along the boul- evard. a Pantheon where the remains of each president shall be placed. 4 temple to have statues of military and naval heroes is suggested. An ardent expansionist wants something, some where along the route, to show to fu- ture citizens the efforts this govern ment is making "to civilize and elevate the peoples of the colonial possessions"
 The agitation of the question may lead to the establishment of an avenue that should easily be the most conspic- uous, by reason of its historical asso- citations, in the entire country.

 If the oil in ones lamp burns out, he is allowed to ride home if he keeps his bell ringing and does not exceed a speed of six miles per hour. The law secures uniformity in the use of the wheel throughout the state. Wheelmen are no longer per- mitted to ride on the sidewalks of cit ies and incorporated villages. The law prescribes fine of twenty-five dol lars for throwing into the streets broken glass, tacks and other refuse which might injure the feet of horses or the tires of bicycles. The courts have decided that if a wheelman sus- tains an injury on account of a dogs barking or snapping at him. the owner ages.
 Not long ago a cyclist was awarded $500 damages on account of having been thrown from a wheel when at tackled by a savage dog. Many citizens of Phoenix are careless in throwing broken glass in the streets.

awoke to the fact that 1t had an emerald
craze. The stores where they are sold were
pesleged with purchasers and the streets

craze continued for five days during which

suddenly as it had begun. When II ended
purchasers found themselves with emeralds

An incident in bicycle stealing is re-
counted by the Irish Cyclist. A rider named
Smith left his bicycle outside shop. He
emerged just in time to see man named
Munro riding away with it, He took the
machine nearest by to go in pursuit, and
this was tandem. One of the riders saw
Smith take it, and, sezng another mans
wheel, single, went after Smith. The
owner OF the last mentioned wheel saw no
other bicycles handy on which to give chase.
and jumped into cab. Smith, on the tan
dem. finally caught Munro, and the Others.
coming up in turn, got their bicycles and a
satisfactory explanation. Munro was SEN
fenced to two months. Evidently his pride
was more wounded by the street episode
than by the sentence, for he said that no
single man on tandem would have caught
him had he not been riding in long trousers
