CHRISTIAN IN TIE LLOf liHli :.
The motion to stI,le out the word
christian in the Nirc " a Ellie Rights
has created considerable discussion
and provoked some christian
words and conduct from quarters.
and even from some diy'ueS who
should have exhibited more of the
stian charity they Wee discussing
than they I'D. SO earnest was one
divine to retain the word that he
argued It ut considerable length i'm
his prayer the other day at the open
inc OF Unconstitutional Convention.
The word, as it appears, Whle 1t Is
claimed to be merely desc. ptive and
is spelt wi,h small c. is not alto
gether in harmony with the other
declaration in the same section. That
declaration sets out by saving that
religion. or TIE duty We owe TO our
Creator. and the manner Of discharg-
ing it. can be Directed only 10y reason
and conviction. not by force or vio-
lence." This clearly shows that II
was the intention OF theauthor OF the
bin to have no citizen bound by any
church rr'es OF folms of worship. nor
did he intend to prescribe as TO who
or what the citizen Should worship.
He was 10 be aIiGad alone b. his
own cho'ca, or he night choose to
declare that there was no God and
no being worthy OF his alteration.
And vet. before this section OF five
lines isc'osed. il is declared to be the
duty of all to practice christian FOR
bearance. love aud chal.ty towards
each other.
Now it is strarge to many, who have
deliberately thought Oh the subject,
that such u"Hmited licerse should
have been gwen as to how We should
worship and whom or what we should
worship, and then prescribe our duty
as to what / nd of chan ~ we should
practice. Its to be cm.sian-Chrs St
ike which necessa " word be OBJ
iectionable TO those who do not take
Christ as a mode for living and who
do not worship Ii II as Divine.
Why cor dnot the author have said
it was our duty topractice the highest
type of forbearalce, love and charity
to each other? We would tfen have
taken the J CHEST example, andevery
citizen so do gwor d havemeasured
up to his pc eet model. The Jew
would probably have taken bis great
law-eiyer, Moses; the Mohamedan
would have taken MOhamed; the
Chinese. Con lsius the Hi1dOO,
Budba. and TIE Christian, Christ !;
and thus we would not have occupied
the seem contradictory attitude OF
allowing al these people to acE1owl-
edge and worship whom and what
they please, bat call upon them to
practice CT stan cha t. toward
each osber. YeS or citizens have
lived andprospered dissection
of the B11 for more than a century,
with Their own mode and manner Of
deporoment to each other, and we
fear no serious consequences nom its
continuance in its present shape, al
though consistency would suggest the
substitution of some other word for
christian.

National irrigation.

The whole scheme for national irri- gation is most tersely and lucidly stated in the following very brief state ment from Geo. H. Maxwell, of the Ma tional Irrigation Association:
 There are 100000 900 acres of irri- gable public lands.
 They need storage reservoirs to make them available as homes.
 Let the government build the great reservoirs and main line canals neees- sary to make water available for these irrigable public lands.
 Let the cost of such work be added to the cost of the lands, to be repaid to the government by the settlers in ten or twenty annual instalments, with out interest.
 Give the settler at least two years time in which to get started before he is called upon to make any payment.
 Reserve the land for which water is thus made available for actual set tiers only, who will go on the land and cultivate it and build permanent homes there.
 It is necessary that the government should build the works requiring capi- tai; it can leave the settlers to con. struct and dig the smaller canals, which they can do without capital. Whenever the settler who goes upon the public land to-day, or in the future can set his blow in the ground and have the water follow the furrow, then the opportunities will have beer created which will be seized upon by millions of industrious men to create prosperous homes in what to-day is al arid wilderness.

Bryan Buys a Paper.


 WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-Wm. 5en- nings Bryan has purchased the "Na. tional Watchmanv of Alexandria Va., a silver paper founded by Senator Stewart cf Nevada. during the zenith of that senator's power. The senator gradually lost interest in the publica- tion.
 There has been no issue of it since July lst.
 Once there was talit that Bryan would settle down in Washington and run the Watchman. That was before he had determined upon making Lin coin the home of the Commoner. Since he has obtained possession of the Watchman some of this talk has been renewed, but those who seem to know declare that Bryan only wants the Watchman to get hold of the good will and what remains of it's subscription lists.

Change In Managers of cobre ersnds-
From the Phoenix Enterprise. l

From the Phoenix Enterprise.l
 Meagre details of an important change in ths management of the Coz bre Grande property were sent to this city yesterday. An effort to learn the exact meaning proved fruitless, though enough was gathered to establish the significance of the chance.
 For some time W. c. Greene has had practically the control of the prop erty, through the manager, George Mitchell. Less than month ago the stockholders went to the mine, aud personally inspected the system under which it was operated. They came away dissatisfied with the result of their observation, and shortly after wards steps were taken to curb the liberty allowed Mr. Greene. To make the matter more effective Mir. Mitch elPs resignation was requested.
 When it came, telegram was sent to California, asking the manager of a large shelter at Keswick to come and fill the vacated position. The Califor. mia man has been in charge of the mine for the past two weeks, and is shaping his policy in accordance with the wishes of the shareholders.
 For what reason MT. Mitchell ha. not proved satisfactory no one is will ing to give ont The change was made over two weeks ago, and since it tool place an effort has been made to keel it secret. Whether or not the shake up is the result of differences between Mir. Greene aud the shareholders can not be learned. The change will un doubtedly have some bearing on th' future operation of the mine. It a least indicates an antagonistic feeling among those most deeply interested il the property.

Jerome Strike Ended.

[From the Prescott Journal-Miner.l
 The Jerome strike is a thing of the past. The miners, engineers and re- pair men have resumed work The electric light plant and mine are work ing just as before the strike. About 250 of the smelter force have left town, but there are enough left to run at least portion of the furnaces which they expect to start up on Thursday.
 It is not learned whether any con sessions were made to the men or not but it is not believed that there were, but that the men concluded to return under the former conditions.
