tained money to build your railroads and then repudiated your honest debts. My dear people of Arizona, we know you are not repudiators; We know you wished to pay your debts; you wished to establish and maintain your credit but that hlacll villain, Oakss Muy7hy, refused to obey you. He refused &o carry out your instructions and vali- Gate your obligations. and through his treachery you are kHown as repu- Giatorsi"
 Does not every sane man know that if Oakes Murphy had failed to estab- fish the credit of Arizona when in con- gress, Mark Smith, Judge Baker and their whole retiIlue of unprinciplel echoes would today be bowling that Arizona is hopeless of statehood be- cause Oakes Murphy was for repudia- tion?

CROSS SADDLES FOR WOMEN.
A Burning Nssue That has Leaped to
 the Front in Chicago.


 The officers of the horse show who have rejected the entries of two ladies who purposed to use the divided skirt in other words, to ride man fashion" ought at least to have the candor to state their position.
 It is nonsense for them to plead that the executive committee did not pro vide for a divided skirt class for wo- men riders. There was no necessity for providing for such class. The wearing of divided skirt does not place a woman rider in a class by her self any more than the wearing of d derby hat instead of the conventional silk article would render it necessary to establish a derby hat class.
 The horse show authorities are mere Iy lodging. They are evidently deter mined to bar divided skir,s, but they are not brave enough to give their req sons-if, indeed, they could give any.
 Such an attitude will merely fan the flame of discussion instead of diverting attention from the subject. In any event, the divided skirt has come to stay. whether the horse show people bar it or not.
 No valid objection can be offered to women riding astride. Sifted down, the criticisms of the cross saddle for women consists ir the fact that in some countries women have for centuries used the saddle; therefore. it is held to be necessary that they should continue to do 50 till the end of time. There is TO other argument adduced.
 The opponent of the divided skirt. if pressed, may say that the use of the cross saddle is imnodest. but if asked just why 1t is immodest he cannot an swer. The reason is. of course, that there is nothing immodest about it.
 There is To more reason why a wo- man should sit sidewise on a horse than that she should sit sidewise in a chair, and there is no more immodesty involved In the one case than in the other. Nothing save a foolish defer Cnce to conventionality keeps thou sands of women from using the cross saddle, which is more slightly, com fortable and hygienic than the side saddle.
 The divided skirt and the cross sad de for women are sure to come into general use, because they are useful and sensible articles.
 horse show managers merely manifest an inability to appreciate the fact Chicago Chronicle.

biiity of delimiting or defining the su- burbs, as it's extent becomes more and more indefinite, is due no less to the influence of trolley competition than to it's direct facilities. To this competi- ton must be largely attributed the fact, discovered by Prof. Commons in
 his recent investigation of railway rates in Massachusetts. that while fares for long distances have fallen but little below what they were fifty years ago, communication fares for short dis tances have fallen nearly 50 per cent in ten years-that is, during the period of trolley extension. It is by no means a case merely of cheaper suburban liv- ing. For the opportunity of a country home for those whose work calls them daily to the city keeps pace with new devotion to all that now attracts to the country, the love of sport and any in- terest CT diversion that calls one out into the open. Suburban living has thus come to mean something far diff ferent from what it used to be thought when a suburb was merely nearness to a great city. And with every increased remove the suburban city worker is brought closer to the genuine country, while the attraction of the city life to the country worker is distinctly less- ened. So far. then, as the census shows & relatively arrest cd rate of in crease in city population it justiiies q new identification of suburb with coun- try, and is a sign of a healthy reaction which may some day reach even the now abandoned farm.-Scribner's

building He thought it rather strange but did not realize the full truth until he was taken inside. when he found the hospital full of wounded Spanish sol diers-nany of them shot in the en- gagcments in which h. had himself engaged. Then he knew he was in the enemy's camp. The fellow who lad been hired to take him to the Ameri- can hospital for officers had either misunderstood his instructions or which is more likely, had mali cioUsly taken him over to the enemy 10 get him olt of the way.
 Spanish soldiers who had suffered only leg or arm wounds gathered around his cot and eyed him curiously, hour after hour though they offered no violence. On the contrary they seemed inclined the other way, and urged him to talk various articles of food Fear ing he would be poisoned, he refused food and medicine alike. The spanish doctor visited him frequently, but Johnson would not swallow the potions cscribid. On the second day he drank some goats milk, imagining it would be harder to poison milk with out the taste detecting it than any other food. On the third aay he drank goats milk in large quantities, but still took no medicine.
 On tha morning of the fourth day wEat was his surprise to see an Amer ican officer enter the hospital accom- panied by the British and French min isters. The officer who proved to b Ass.s:art Surgeon General Senn, had been anxious to see how the Spanish treated their prisoners. and had se- cured permission to visit the hospital through the French and British repre- santaUves.
 The surgeons eyes chanc5d to light on Johnson the instant he opened the door. and. going to his cot. he inquired how an American happened to be in that p!ace.
 ''I don't know" repli=d the sick man. "AIajcr Anthony gave me this permit. at the same time drawing It from under his pillow, "and the native driver brought me her."
 Senn understood the situation, and. after making a medical examination of the patient, announced that he would secure his rel5ase. The good offices of the British consul were again called into requisition, and three hours after ward an ambulance drove up and Johnson was removed and placSd on hospital ship, which brought him home with other sick and wounded, landing him at New York.
 Major Anthony had been called away on military duty the morning after sending Jchns0n as he supposed, to the officers building. Upon his return he called there to learn how the pa tient was getting along, and was sur prised to find that nothing was known about him. As the sick man was part ly dclirous. the Major Ct last came to the conclusion that he had wandered away and had doubtless been killed. Only few weeks afterward Anthony sailed for New York.
 He almost dropped dead with sur prlse," said M-. Johnson, in narrat-ng 'th5 ytory, when he saw me standing on the dock as the bc~. came in.'- Los Angeles Times.

A BOY BISHOP.

Any one who has walked through Salisbury cathedral can partly realize to what lengths the church permitted. and even encouraged, the people to carry amusements which seem to mod ern thought to involve all but the last possible degree of irreverence. For there is a little tomb. bearing the dfTigy of a child, scarcely more than a baby. dressed in the robes and the niter of a bishop. He was one of the boy bish- ops of Salisbury. Every year, for a few days at Christmas, the boy bishop held his state. He had his train of children, representing priests. attend ants, and servants. The real bishop stepped aside and gave him all but ab solUte authority like his own. He per formed an imitation of the mass. and travestied other ceremonies of the church. If, while his little term of of flee lasted. there was a vacancy among the suboT1inates of the real bishop ha might fill it, and there i5 at least one recorded case in which he did. And this particular little boy died before his term ended. so he was buried as any other bishop would have been. and there he lies in the nave of Salisbury cathedral, with his image in stone above hinl-a bishop forever. In the plays God himself was sometimes rep- resented with face gilGed and wearing a gilt wig. Peter was usually comic person, as well as Judas In the fla vorite scene of the narrowing of hell, in which the Christ came and led out the good men of the Old Testament, dishonest ale wife made much coarse fun. Yet the people were not shocked at these things, and the priests saw no reason why they should be.-Harper's Weekly
Arizona republican., 1900-11-06

The Republican today prints an ap- peal by Col. William Christy to the
 voters of Maricopa
 COL. county which deservs s CHRISTY'S the closest attention. ADVICE. Col. Christy advocates
 the election of Governor Murphy. He says tr-uthfully that the governor is the man for the place by reason of his energy and ability u accomplish results" ..
 As Col. Christy says, politics en- ters largely into the admission of terri tories by the national congress" In fact, politics dominates the question. No territory has been admitted in re- cent years whose politics has not been of the right" brand. Political purists may rail at such q condition of affairs, but it exists and 1t will not be changed So long as politicians continue to gather at Washington
 Arizona, desiring statehood above all other things, needing statehood be- cause of the benefits that will follow in its train, will stand in it's own light If it declines to send N. O. Murphy to congress.
 To send Mark Smith would be po- l:ical suicide. His presence in the house would be all the evidence the r.- publican congress would require that Arizona was not in earnest in it's plel for statehood.
 We. hope that every patron of The Republican will read Col. Christy's let
