THAT PoRTo RIcAN TARIEE.

"The act of the president IT sug- gesting that the revenues derived from the Porto Riean tariff be given to Porto Rico is ID line with the deathbed repentance of the prOfes- sional burglar, or with the action of some noted Italian brigand of old who thought to appease the AL mighty by giving half of his blood money for charitable purposes. An adherence to right principles, gov ernmental and otherwise, avoids all injustice and does away with the occasion for a conscience fund, and this Porto Ri ;an tariff donation is a conscience fund combined with an attempt to whip the devil of wrong around the stump until be appears to be the angel of right with shining wings Tapping for the success of the Hannite wrOngdOeTs. But the people are too intelligent to be fooled by such methods. The mur- derer must be hanged, even though he gives al, his blood money to the relatives of the murdered, and the criminal Porto Rican tariff robbers can uot satisfy the people by any sort of donations to the robbed or satisfy the people that the constitu- ton Of the United States can be set aside at any time as a matter of political expediency ."-Courier.
 If our contemporary had read carefully the press telegrams sent out in regard to Porto Rican affairs it would have discovered that the president opposed the tariff on arti- cles from that island. Constitu- tional lawyers, probably as well posted on the subject as is the editor of the Courier, took the grounds that under the constitution the rela- tiors of Porto Rico with the United States are not such as to justify their exemption from the operation of the tariff laws. The president simply returns to the island for in ternaI improvements the revenues collected from this source. The re- turn of this money does not seen. to be such sn act of great injustice, to any fair minde person, bal perhaps the democ. atic 7eaY would be to sp.nd il Tn Ehe United States the same as other import revenues gre expended. The Porto Ricans are not finding fault with tkis, but are highly pleased with it. It is only the "forninst- he-government" dem- ocrats in the United States who are indulging in the "high kick" against ;4

OUR THIRTY-SIxTH ANNiVERS-
 APN

Today marks the thirty-si1th an niversarg of the establishment of the Arizona Miner, that event occur jag March g, 1864. The paper was published uninterruptedly from that date until it was consolidated with lthe Arizona Journal in 1885, il its present hyphenated form. l. never missed an issue during the consolidation period, being issued one day as the Miner and the day following in connection with the Journal as the JouRNAL-MNER.
 The files of the old Arizona Miner could they be all gotten together, would furnish an interesting history of Arizona, as it was for time the only paper in in the territory.
 The Journal, to which the Miner was married, is itself no youngster, but ranks among the oldest papers in the territory, it's existence of ui . interrupted issue dating from May, 1874 While the paper has been IS sued without interruption since that date, it has changed its name a few times and has also changed its politics once Or more during that p ,riod.
 While the Arizona Miner was es- tablished as a general newspaper, and has been published ever since as one, as its name indicates it has and does yet make speciality of inning news, that being the chief industry in northern Arizona, where it IS published. Taking the yearly average it publishes more general information concerning this indus try than any paper in Arizona. It ! has for years made it practice at least once a year for representative to visit as many districts as possible and familiarize himself thoroughly with all conditions pertaining to the induFtry, the progress of develop ment and to publish all information obtainable. It so happens that this anniversary edition contains In- teresting articles of this kind.
 It is gratifying to note that min CTS and mining men, both at home and abroad, have come to recognize the JoURNAL-MNER as the leading exponent of the mining industry in Arizona. and as furnishing more news pertaining to this industry than any other publication ID the territory. and have given it and are still giving It a generous support, for which on this, its thirty-sixth anniversary, 1t extends its thanks, soliciting 6 continuance in the fu- ture.

Iron Springs Resort.

Popular interest n the Iron Sprirg gs outing movement continues to grow as the outing season ap- breaches. It is certain that a great many thousand dollars that would otherwise have been carried to Cal ifornia will be left at Iron Springs and that much of 1t will find it's way back to Phenix. Those who spend the dollars will come back with more invigoration and more dollars than if they had gone to the coast. The scope of the Iron Springs en- terprise IS extended. A Chautauqua is in contemplation though 1t is hardly probable that one will be es- tablished this season. But the found ation for one will be laid. 4 com mittee of ministers who lately visited the site of the resort have returned loud in praise of t. Those who re- side there during the summer months will enjoy a church home something that Is so often missed by those who are driven to seek a vaca- tion rn the mountains or along the sea shore.-Phenix Herald.

Newspaper Enterprise

"Talk about newspaper work Why, you fellows who work on mod ern papers with plants costing uI into the hundreds of thousands ol dollars don't know anything about it," said a superannuated editor.
 Let me tell you something about early enterprise. It was during the civil war down in Tennessee. I was running weekly and Grant kept everything out. There wasn't a sheet of paper in the town, and our Washington hand press had broken and the new casting necessary to make it work was somewhere on the road, with Grants army between us. But got there. A Afellow smuggled a wagon load of four done up in paper bags. The rest was easy. There was stranded circus in town. It had been there 8 year, and used the elephant for press. I put the form on the ground and placed a flour bag over it. The elephants keeper then caused the brute to sit down on it, and we got 28 first-class impressions, two more than our cir required.

INTEREST IN WEATHER.
A Peculiarly of the National Capital Which Impressed a Woman
 Visitor.

There are some peculiarities in Washington I never observed in any other city" said a woman on her first stay in the national capital, accord ing to the New York Sun. Nearly everyone has weather bulletin. These bulletins are furnished on application, and once your name is on the list the bulletins are sent daily. If you move and the house is vacated the bulletins are sent just the same I never saw a place where everybody seems so much interested in the weather. One day hired a cab and the driver thrust one of these bulletins in my lap. I have seen weather bulletins tied to the wire pro- tections which are around all the trees in Washington. They hang over the box office windows of the theaters, in the doors of the stores and, of course Tn the corridors of the hotels. You find them in every elevator and I have seen them in the street cars. In most cities polite society taboos weather as topic. In Washington it is kept before you wherever you go.
 "1asked anumber of my friends for an explanation, but I never heard e satis- factory one. One woman came nearer an explanation than the men I asked She said: Washington is headquar- tsrs for weather. They make it here for the whole country"

Rev. Charles sheIdon's Enterprise.

Commencing on Tuesday, March 13, Rev. Charles Sheldon, author of "In His Steps" will take charge of the Topeka Capital for one week and will conduct il along the lines of his ideals already set forth in books and sern, ns Tue keynote of this newspaper, the one qu, sllon to be asked about every Item of news, every liue of editorial comment and every advertisements is What would Jesus do7' Mir. Sheldon has adopt ed many ways of learning to know his brother man. Several years ago when he was not very we'll known in Topeka, he disguised him. self as a tramp and started out to discover whether he could find work, having heard that there were num- bers of unemployed laborIng men in the town un5 pie to get positions. He went to the big railroad shops where hundreds of men were em- ployed; be applied to business men and bankers, and to mills, but all without avail. After a weeks hunt he related the experience in detail to his congregation aud made an address on social and economical conditions. He obtained an em- ploYe's pass from the railroad con- pany and, dressed as an emplove, made many trips along the road, talking with the train men, learning of thelr work, their life, opportuni- ties, ideas and religion.
 Then he turned his attention to lawyers, staying in their offices, fol- lowing them to court, becoming oc- quainted with their ideas.
 After this he enter, d into the life of a physician, gathering what infor- nation he could of the medical pro- fession and practice. In this way he came to know all sorts and con ditions of men, from the most learn ed professional men to street car drivers and brakemen,
 Near MT. Sheldon's church in Topeka was a small colony of ne- groes, ali huddled together in a miserable condition. They were often in want of even the necessities of life. The energetic minister saw in this settlement chance for prac- tical philanthropy. He interested some of his church members in the idea and threw himself into it with vigor. A kindergarten was founded and free reading room opened. It IS said that this is the first kinder garten ever established for colored children. The negroes were taught to keep their houses clean, their clothes mended, their yards neat, etc, prizes being offered for those in best condition. Now gardens four ish in the formerly neglected yards, and many trees have been planted Ia the school children are taught to sew and cook, work lessons being com bined with those taken from books.

A REPUBLICAN SPLIT IN TEXAS

Texas may not be hopelessly dem ocratic for all time to come after all. The republicans down there have adopted democratic tactics of fight ing in their political conventions. This is a hopeful sign. When re- publicanism in Texas becomes of sufficient importance to fight over it is in a hopeful condition. Besides the experience thus gained can be used to good advantage against the common enemy-democracy.
 A MT. Green, son of the celebrated Hettie Green of New York, aspires to become a republican leader in Texas and to become national com mitteeman from there. This seems to bs the cause of all the trouble. A telegram from Waco tells of the pugilistic proceedings as follows.
 "A serious split occurred when the republican state convention opered its second days session. Mcdonald was temporary chairman of the Green faction, and Ferguson of the opposition. The Ferguson element claimed that their candidate was counted out. Temporary Chairman Mcdonald ascended the platform for the purpose of calling the body to order. Ferguson also took the rostrum- The widest scenes ever witnessed in Texas convention en- sued. Fist fights were numerous. Mcdonald tried for some time to obtain order and finally adjourned the convention until this afternoon. Ferguson and his followers remained in session."

Indians Take to Mineral Water

Mineral waters have come to take a very prominent place in national bev- erages, especially in the case of those who are suffering more or less from physical Arrangements. In this coun- try the Indians practiced bathing in the heated waters and drinking them long before they taught to the whites the benefits of many springs now famous. It is within the memory of many in- habitants of this country how the red man came annually to encamp at Mani tou and other healing springs in the Rockies

Our contemporary published an item in it's issue of Saturday, March 10, which has appeared Tn that paper regularly for the past ten years on the 10th of March. It referred to the former management of the Ari- zona Miner, the oldest paper in the territory, and of the sands of time creeping over the aforesaid con temporary, and how it is adding a year to it's age every twelve months. or something of this sort. The editor of the JoURNAL-MMER was ab- sent on Saturday, hence does not claim the above to be absolutely word for word.

The Hay Pauncefort Nicaraguan canal bill has besn amended, and with an American fortifcation clause attached to it will be considered in the near future. This latest move is said to be opposed by Great Bri- tain, and though strenuously ob- lected to by that power, will pass nevertheless on the line of the American plan, and be constructed and maintained if we have to put another kink into the tail of the British lion.

The chances are now favorable foi the passage of some sort of ship. ping bill for the aid of our suffering marine. The center of the country which never sees a ship. and does not realize the importance of ship ping, has forced amendments to the proposed bill which weakeus it con- siderably. But half a loaf is better than no bread, and it is scarcely possible that any republican can object to the new measure intro duced by the objectors. Those who have the skipping of the country at heart will try to pass the original bill, but it is likely that a compro- mise will be reached pretty much on the lines of the new one.

Delegate Wilson is again "at work" He seems to be industrious in introducing bills, but they go 10 further than the committee, some how. Statehood is the only chan- nel by which Arizona will have something of lead pipe cinch, but unfortunately this. too, is in the dim distance. The meat in the co., coanut IS this: So far as Arizona goes in a national regard, that as long as we send a democratic dele gate to buck up against a republican administration it is a ten to one gamble that any measure will get no more hearing than a snowfall would below,a and the sooner Arizona voters realize this the more will it be to their adv ntage.

Trees Advancing in Nebraska,

Prof. c. E.

In some cases. the tree soil'' along rivers has, within 25 years, increased in width from 100 feet to half a mile and even &piaRS=

In the recent proceedings of the democratic central committee an item appeared announ eing the resig- nation of c. W. Hull and the appoIn' ment of mau to fill the vacancy. MT. Hull came out with a card announcing that he had not resigned and, in fact, had never thought of it. Now comes "a zem- Der of the committee and letsIthe ct out of the bag, saying Mir. Hull was fired" from the committee in 1898 on account of his not being a democrat. From this letter it would seem that MT. Hull was sumarily "6seG" from the committee and the pIrty al one and the game time, and he has been a political orphan all these months and did not know it. Mir. Huli is at the present time a man without party, but he does not see,n to be worrying over it.
