The report of MT. Bristow, fourth as sistant postmaster general, or the post
 office entertainments in BRISTOW'S Cuba shows that the in
 REPORT. vestigation has been
 most searching. Over director of the bureau of finance and had charge of the stamps. Dr. ". H. Reeves of the auditors department, who was supposed to keep check on Neely's accounts acted in collision with him. while c. NJ. Rich, Neely's assist ant. knew the embezZlc ments were go- ing on. RathbCne, the director gen. eral, ought to have discovered and stopped the mischief long before it was finally unearthed. but Rathbone also was in the conspiracy with Nicely and Reeves and was intent only on living in the most luxurious manner and charging his enormous expenses up to the government. This festered cancer was discovered and eradicated and the criminals will be brought to justice.
 Dishonesty will crop out in official dom whatever precautions be taken and there was nothing in these mems ante cedents to suggest that they were not honest and dutiful. Rathbone's repu- tation was especially good.
 The democrats have tried to make this isolated instance of embezzlement a charge against the entire service in Cuba, and the other islands, blowing about a carnival of corruption and fraud. The Nicely frauds are entirely exceptional. Governor General Wood instituted a thorough investigation into all the departments, but has found no peculation going on and nothing wrong. On the contrary every government de- partment in Cuba is conducted in a businesslike and honest manner. He particularly refers to the customs bu- reau. General Wood has disposed of some other allegations reflecting upon the integrity of the administration in Cuba and concluded his statement by saying that the general cOHultlOH ol lHe island is most satisfactory, that the revenues are in excess of the eXpendi- lures and that there is less discontent than is commonly imagined. One thing is certain in reference tO all appoint ments in the island and everywhere else under the republican adminiztra- ton. Only men of known honesty and ability will be appointed and where fraud occurs it will be exposed and punished.

STORY OF ADMIRAL PHILIP.

T knew the late Admiral Jack Philip about ten years ago, when he was sta tioned at the Mare Island navy yard, said former Californian. now living in New Orleans. He was not then noted for his professed Christianity, but was an out and out good fellow, albeit a trlf1e blunt in his speech. On one occa- sion United States shir was in port -l am not quite sure winch of the fleet II Was-and q party of Frisco folks went over to the island to sAe her. I was with the crowd. and while we were in the ward room one of our number. a city official, Dy the way, told the steward to go and get two or three bottles of champagne. The rest of the visitors were aghast at his effrontery. but one of the officers made a sign to the servant and he went out and pres ently came back with the wine. While 1t was being open5d the cheery boor who gave the order remarked joe ularly that he always liked to destroy government property. I've always wanted to drink some of Uncle Sans fizz,' he added, but this is the first chance l have ever had to sample it.
 Capt. Philip was present, looking pretty black, and that remark was too much for his patience. Sir he ex- claimed, in his peculiar high pitched voice, you seem to be under the inn precision that the United States of America furnishes free champagne to its cHcels.'
 'Well-er-don't it?' asked the wis itcr. q trifie disconcerted.
 The cnly drink that the govern ment supplies to the navy said captain Jack, so,emnly, is water You'll find plenty of it outside he added, after a pause. several of the ladies giggled, and the champagne took an early occo- sion to sneak away."-New Orleans Times Democrat

DID THE LORD HEAR AR1GHT.

Father Edward Soren of Notre Dame brought with him on his return from one Of his visits to his native place. Paris. France, a native teacher nf French. for the academy of St. Mary du Lac. She was a charming sister in her gestures. and manners, and was anxious to learn the English language She asked one of the American sisters to teach her the Lords Prayer in En- glish.
 This American sister did so With a great deal of relish and apparent sport. And when the dear little Pariss.enne could repeat her Pater Noster in the delightful language used in this coun- try, she went to the good old priest Father Soren, and told him in French that she desired he should hear her say her prayer in English Gravely grant ing her request, the amiable man list ened with sober face and a gentle light in his eyes while the little sister re- peated with earnestness the dftty of: "Old brother Ben shot his goose and
 killed his hen,'
 telling her beads with the same devo- tion she did in saying Our Father in French. At the conclusion of her pray CT Father Soren said:
 That is well done, sister. you have acquired the language with great ease and facility. But, pray, tell me who was the sister that taught you SO beau- tifully?" She quickly gave the sisters name and asked in French:
 But, my father, do you think the Lord heard me alright, not being accus- toned to me in English?"
 Yes, yes, my child, the Lord has full ly understood your prayer It is not the words, but the intent."-E. Hovey- King, in the August New Lippincott.

The question under general discus sion in Phoenix and wherever taXpay-
 CTS or consumers of ir-
 NO BONUS rigation water meet, is
 PRO- whether the couniy of
 POSED. Maricopa should. as
 cold business proposi- lion. invest a half million dollars in storage reservoir in the Tonto Basin.
 Notwithstanding the clearness with which the advocates of the proposition have stated their views, some people insist upon treating it as question Of "bonus" or ''subsidy'-in other words, as a gift of encouragement to the res ervoir company, and endorse or con demn the idea according to their opin- ions of the propricty of subsidies gen. orally. There is no occasion whatever for a discussion of the bonus or sub sidy idea. That many counties and municipalities of this territory, as in other portions of the country, have suffered from granting subsidies for which there was TO return, is not pertinent fact in this discussion. It is not suggested that the county give" = donate" or contribute" a cent. It 0S suggested that the county should in- vest in the enterprise.
 The situation in a few words is this: We have here a valley whose equal as an agricultural region cannot be found on the planet. With an inadequate water supply there has been built up here a community more prosperous generally than any other locality in the United States. This prosperity could be vastly augmented by a sufficient supply of water for irrigation. New wealth, tangible and taxable. and measurable only in millions, would be almost instantly created. The res ervoir is easy to construct. Nature has done about all she could do. She has provided a great natural basin, of such enormous capacity that the mind can not grasp it. She has provided q nat ural dam site in the only outlet, q deep. narrow canyon in the solid rock. She has provided the Salt river whose an- nual floods. running to waste, provide the water necessary to make this the great reservoir of the world. It Is only necessary for man to build the dam. Competent engineers say that for ap- proximately two millions and a half dam can be constructed which will stand forever-which will be part of the living rock iD which it is imbedded. This reservoir will be, in revenue, a gold mine to its owners through all time. The people of the valley for years have been pointing to these facts. But investors, for many reasons, are slow to come forward with the neces- sary money for construction. It has been suggested that if the county of Maricopa would say to the Investing public, We know that this enterprise has all the merit claimed for it. and we propose to prove our faith by be- ing the first investor, asking only to be on the same footing and having the same protection as private investors'- it has beenHsuggested that if the coun- ty would this, the courageous men
Arizona republican., 1900-07-31

who have been devoting their energies to making the project a success purely as a private enterprise, could quickly enlist the remaining capital necessary. Therefore. the question now before the people for informal decision is, Can it be said to the investing public that the county will be ar investor?"
 There is no question of bonus or sub sidy

A Chicago kinetoscope man tells how he managed to get a picture of Gov. Roosevelt in St. Paul the other day. 'I went to him several times,' he said ' and asked him to pose for me, but ne turned ne down cold, and told me that unless the national committe ordered it he would not pose. Now, I went all the way to St. Paul to get him, and I did not like to come back empty handed. l finally decided I would bribe the hack driver. I told him there was $5 in 1t for him if he could stop the carriage in front of my machine l agreed with him that when I raised my cane he was to stop. As the carriage came down the street I waived my cane. The driver pulled his horses and the crowd cheer ed all the louder. While Teddy was lowing and acknowledging the ovation my man was at work. Suddenly Teddy saw me and the cane. He knew had him. but he turned his back to the camera. He was too late, I motionad for the driver to go on, and Teddy's pie ture will be flashed all over the coun- try.
