PIMAS VS. APACHES.
Why the Latter are Cared For and the
 Former Neglected

to an Apache and the burden of his plaint was that his tribe worked hard against drouth, against hard conditions, against the white mans aggressions and theft of water, and did not receive any aid from the government; while the Apaches did not work, only as they chose, did not contend with drouth, fought the whites, stole and devastated and laid waste when they felt like it, and were given rations, annu- ities, and all manner of good things by the government.
 The Apache was irritatingly com plaisant He smoked government tobacco for some time calmly, and cooly philosophical as follows:
 "White man, he heap big coward. He all same big dog. Big dog he bark like h-l little while. Bynby little dog he show him teeth 'n' look mad; big dog he drop his tail am run all same coyote. 'Pache Injun he all same little dog. Me fight little, kill little, make big noise, white government he heap afraid. He tremble all same leaves He say 'Pache Injun he bad man; he heap fight; heap kick all time. He think so betta feedum little four, sugar, coffee, beans. 'Pache Injun he catchum plenty. White man he no savvy much. He big fool all time. 'Pache he heap smart like h-l-"
 And the Pima brooded over the lesson and knew that it was true. It had always been his boast that his people knew not the color of the white mans blood. They had befriended the whites when their numbers were few. They had given of their suSstaHev-freefy. They were prodigal of their hospitality. In their welcome there was no pow erty of sincerity and gladness. And as the white population grew they sought not recompense. What they had given of food, of welcome, of hospitality, of protection and of succor had been freely given.
 And it is this good people whom we are robbing of their heritage of water. Outlaws and renegades that we are, we enter a mans house and sit at his table and accept of his gifts, and rob him of his plate, and all the food that remains we stuff into our pockets, leaving starvation and desolation behind.
 Give the Pimas their reservoir, so the storm waters may be stored and utilized, and make the wrens of happiness sing in the hearts that are now bleeding OCT dastardly and damnable deeds.-The Native American

Arizona's New Governor.

pointed governor of Arizona to succeed N O. Murphy, whose term has expired The new governor succeeded President Roosevelt as lieutenant colonel of the Rough Riders on the latter's elevation to the colonelcy of the noted regiment Colonel Brodie has latterly been a successful miner in Arizona. He spent the past summer in Penning- ton, N. J.
 Alexander O. Brodie was a major of the Rough Riders, and when Roosevelt became colonel of the regiment Brodie was promoted to he lieutenant colonel. In the bat tie at Las Guasimas, during the advance of the American forces upon Santiago, Brodie was at the very front of the fight. He was one of the first American officers to be wounded, q Mauser bullet tearing a painful wound in his right arm.
 Brodie is a West Point man, having been graduated from the military academy in 1870. He was assigned to the First cavalry, many of whose men fought beside the Rough Riders at Las Guasimas. The young West Pointer remained in the United States service about seven years, reaching the rank of first lieutenant. He was an active participant in various Indian cam paigns, and he had some lively en- counters with the Modocs and other savage tribes. From Janu- ary 20, 1871, to April 4, 1872, he was on frontier duty at Camps Mogollon and Apache, in Arizona Subsequently he was detailed on escort duty for a few weeks, and in the spring of 1873 he was engaged in scouting service and attached to Fort Walla Walla, Washington. He was pEossaOTeu to be hrst neu- Tenlnt of cavalry May 25, 1875.
 Lieutenant Brodie resigned his commission in the fall of 1877 for the purpose of engaging in busi- ness His venture was in the cat tie trade in Kansas, in which he was successful. In 1882 he turned his attention to mining operations in Dakota and Arizona, and few years afterward was employed by the Water Storage company, at Walnut Grove, Ariz-, as its chief engineer and superintendent.
 NOTE-When Governor Murphy was in this city as one of the in- vited guests to address the state hood convention, he was not aware that the appointment of a new governor for Arizona would be made soon, and even expressed himself to a number of people he met as confident of reappointment. A number of prominent republi- cans of Arizona had arrayed them selves against his reappointment, and in consequence President Roosevelt selected his successor a

TWO KINDS OF A COUNTRY.

The government is overruIed in its
minor contentious and sustained in its
major position, says the Philadelphia
Record.
The president was right in at first
insisting that free trade with Porto
Rico was a plain duty, and is yet sus-
tanned in afterward asserting to the
imposition of tariff on Porto Rican
products, or, as Justice White sarcastic
caIly observed, ''after the Foraker act
Porto Rico ceased to be part of the
United States, and before the Foraker
act it was a part of the United States. :"
The decision, as we now understand
it, is most momentous one, involving
a grave change in the character of our
government.
Congress, itself the creature of the
constitution, is apparently invested
with imperial powers which find no
warrant in the constitution. The court
has taken long time to arrive at any
conclusion, and has been unable to
reach decision satisfactory to more
than bare majority of Its members.
It may be possible that when consid-
cred in all its bearings clearer COM
prehension of the reasoning may satisfy
the people of the United States that
they can safely enter upon colonizing
experiments; but instead of clearing
away difficulty, new difficulties have
seemingly been created. Henceforth
we are to have two kinds of country.

A NAVAL HERO IS DEAD.

Col. James G. Miner, the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy of the Confeder-
acy during the civil war, died Tuesday
last in poverty at Milford, o.
He was 80 years of age, and had lived
In the vicinity of that city ever since
the war, and he had many friends who
would have assisted him in his dis
tress, but his pride prevented him ap-
plying to them. He was educated in his
youth ct the university in Edinburgh,
Scotland, and was known as one of the
best read men of the times, and was at
one time reputed mi llionaire.
Col. Miner fought through the Mex
lean war, and was associated with Gen.
Sam Houston, whose name Ia held in
reverence in Texas.
The old man was found living in
Milford, o.. in abject poverty by Mrs.
M. L. Spender, of Milford, who, touch
eddy the old mans condition, gave him
a home at her residence in Milford.
Col. Miner at one time invented a
high pressure engine and spent most of
his fortune in unsuccessfuIy endeavor-
ing to perfect his invention.

DR.. WiIev's Letter.

DR.. JOHN M. McCANDLEss, State Chem
list, Atlanta, Ga:
DEAR Doctor MCCANDLEss-I accord
you, with pleasure, the permission to
publish my analysis of the Georgia
Wheats III any way you may see fit.
In regard to the statement previously
made, in some of our bulletins, that the
southern wheats were the poorest in the
United States, desire to say this state
ment had reference entirely to the con-
tents of nitrogen and gluten in such
wheats. Experience ana research have
shown that the longer wheat grows
the more tendency is shown to develop
starch at the expense of gluten.
1t is well known that the spring
wheats, which mature i'll three or four
months, contain larger relative quanti-
ties of gluten than the winter wheats
which grow seven or eight months. The
analyses which I have made of the
Georgia wheats certainly show that
there are localities in Georgia where the
gluten and nitrogen contents of the
wheat, which presume is winter wheat,
compare favorably with similar wheats
grown much further north.
Therefore the statement previously
made should be modified as indicated
above and should not be made general of
all localities in the Southern states
You are also at liberty to use this
statement in the publication of the ana
lyses. Sincerely,
II w WrEv Chemist

MORE COTTON, LESS WOOL.

The consumption of cotton cloth is
increasing. Formerly the people of the
United States used nine pounds of
wool per capita annually The substi-
tuition of cotton in the cheaper grades
of cloth has reduced that average to
six pounds a year, while the amount of
cotton consumed per capita has risen
TO twenty-five pounds. One-third of
the wool we consume comes from
foreign countries, two-thirds of the
cotton we grow is sent abroad. We do
cot even manufacture all the cotton
goods We use. Our supply of fine
goods still comes from Europe.

Sugar Cane.


Increased interest is being aroused in
the culture of sugar cane. AS our vast
timber lands become denuded of Their
magnificent forests there looms up an
important question as to what industry
will take the place of our great lumber
mills and turpentine stills. AS the
lands are cleared of timber, they must
be converted into good farms, and it is
very essential to know for what crops
they are best adapted.
Those who have given this subject
careful attention have been thorough
~ convinced that the sugar cane indus
try of Georgia can be, and should be,
greatly increased. The sugar mill will
accomplish the desired end
In 1899 the United States paid foreign
countries about $195, 900, 900 for sugar
imported for domestic consumption.
It took the proceeds of nearly half the
cotton exported to pay for this sugar.
There is then not the least danger of an
overproduction of sugar and syrup
Captain E. G. Purse of Savannah says
that our common field coIn can also be
used for the production of sugar, and
that it would be a valuable auxiliary to
the sugar cane by giving to the sugar
mills work all during the summer when
they would otherwise be idle Sugar
refneries and increased production of
sugar cane will do much toward secur.
ing permanent prosperity to South
