Says That Dowie is Elijah.

A Cleveland, o., dispatch says
Dowletie Elder Rollin N. Bouck
recently returned from Chicago anc
who, for the last two years has
been in charge of the Zion taber
nacle here, preached June 18th tc
an audience of $50 that John Alex
ander Dowie was Elijah. He
quoted many passages Of scripture
to prove that Elijah was to come
again, and said:
"The general overseer, Dowie
has been impressed by God to re,
veal the fact that he is Elijah and
that he is fulfilling the prophecy
that Elijah would come again to
prepare the way for the second
coming of the Lord. And you sin,
ners that won't accept Of the gos-
pei on earth and who refuse to be.
lieve this coming of Elijah, will
roast in hell until you die.
~ believe it, and you will be-
lieve it if you study your Bibles
and clear the devil out of your
hearts. The Bible says He shall
go forth in the spirit and power of
Elijah. The oversecr has gone out
tothe world. He is Elijah. You
can't break the scriptures or then
promises. He is preparing the
way for Christ, as the Bible says
he shall. John the Baptist was
Elijah, but he did not know it un,
til Christ told him so. The time
has come when the Rest0rer of all
things is at hand"

A Yuma Man Talks of Arizona.

The Washington Post contains
the following interview with an
Arizona man:
"If we could only corral the
the whole membership of the sen
ate and the house of representa-
tives and move them bodily to
Arizona, we would have govern
ment aid for the irrigation Of arid
land by the first vote after they re-
turned to Washington" says Char.
C. Thorndyko, Of Yuma, at the
Arlington yesterday, eff they
would only investigate the condi-
tions they would learn that water
in our western country will turn
into blooming paradise the dry
est and deadliest desert that can
be imagined. There is a good OBJ
ject esson of this in the neighbor-
hood of Phoenix. On one side of the
road the land is irrigated. 1t is
green with alfalfa, fruit trees bloom
upon it and any vegetable or fruit
will grow readily if planted there.
On the other side of the road is the
desert, so called, the sort of land
which composes millions of acres
Of Uncle Sans public domain.
The difference between the condi-
tions on the two sides of this Ph9-
nix road are entirely due to water.
The soil is the richest imaginable,
and the government could turn
areas greater than many Europ-
can kingdoms into agricultural
paradises by the expenditure of a
few millions, which would be re-
turned hundred fold in the pro
ducts of the country which would
be rescued from eternal drought" +"

Artesian Water Again.

For more than year it has been
definitely settled that there is per-
manent artesian water in all por-
tions of southern Arizona and now
it has been demonstrated that ar
tesian water exists in northern
Arizona. For some time past the
Santa Fe railroad company has
been boring for artesian water
about 16 miles east of Holbrook
and a few days ago struck a good
flow. Real estate Immediately
went skyward in Holbrook.

The Board of Equalization for
the Territory has raised the rail
road assessment almost half mil
lion dollars. At the August meet

around the members Of the board
like buzzards over dead carcass.
1t remains to be seen whether the
promise of annual passes and free
champaign will alter the present
opinion of the board. We do not
believe it will. The railroads are
enjoying unprecedented prosperity

THE Philadelphia Ledger thinks
Our exporters are engaged in a
keen commercial warfare with
European competitors, and if it be
possible to expand our trade
abroad by moderate concessions to
the foreigner without a damaging
disturbance to home industries; ii
would only be the path ofprudence
for Congress to note the situation
and act accordingly. When the
general welfare demands it, spec
ial interests must yield, however
reluctantly. AS for reciprocity,
the word involves giving and TAX
ing, and no country will consent to

PEOPLE WHO OWN THE WATER

Says the Enterprise: Finally the
supreme court of Arizona has ren,
dered a water decision somewhat
i in harmony with law and equity,
as in the Slosser case the court de,
cides that water belongs to the peo-
pie and not to the canal companies.
The Enterprise has for years con-
tended that the function of canal
company is simply to carry the
water which belongs to the ranch
CT, from the river to his farm and
that for such continuous service q
reasonable price may be charged
as carry tolls. Something like one
year ago, Judge Street, who used
to be attorney for the farmers, rem
dered the most damnable opinion
ever given on the subject of water
ana lts ownership. Inc supreme
court has very wisely placed its
mark Of condemnation on his
theory. In other states it has long
been established that water once
applied to land for beneficial use,
becomes an inseparable part there
of, thus being the property of the
farmer, not Of the canal company.
Of course, the farmers right ceases
when the water is not applied to
beneficial use. 1t then belongs to
the next Oldest appropriation on
the stream or water way.

GOVERNOR MURPHY'S
LATEST OUTRAGE

edltorlal appeared III the tucson
Citizen Of last Monday:
Mr.. B. A. Packard, the only
Democrat on the Board OfTrustees
of the Territorial reform school,
has resigned because of necessary
absence from Arizona for some
months, and Governor Murphy has
appointed Mayor Schumacher of
Tucson in his place.
We have no objection to the ap-
|pointment of Mayor Schumacher
per Sc. Mr.. Schumacher is n
broad-minded, level-headed man
who in many respects will make
an admirable member of the Re
form school board. Mr.. Schum-
acher is marked by neither puritan
ical ideas nor dissoluteness, and
under ordinary circumstances we
would hail his appointment as u
prudent and polite act on the part
of the Governor. But under the
circumstances we feel compelled to
denounce the appointmentof Ma
yor Schumacher or any Republican,
as an outrage upon the majority Of
the people of the Territory. Gov
ernov Murphy has set an example
of narrow partisanship and politi-
cal bigotry unknown heretofore in
the history of Arizona. The Demo.
Gratis are in large majority in
Arizona, yet the Republican gov
ernor refuses to give the majority
even minority representation on
any of the semi-governmental
Boards supported by public taxa
ton. What crookedness are the Re-
publicans up to-what do they ex-
pect to steal-that they are so care
full to exclude Democrats from the
Boards?
Something must be rotten some
where. Plunder must be con-
templated, or the opponents of the
party in power would not be eX-
cluded from the scrutiny that
makes party government tolerant
and effective.
The examining of the Reform
school board with Republicans, is
not Murphy's first sin. For the
first time in its history every
member of the Board of Regents
Of the University Of Arizona is Il
Republican. No Governor, before
Murphy, ever thought of commit
ting such gross abuse of partisan
power. Is it the Governor idea
that the University of Arizona
should be a strictly Republican in
stitution? Does he mean that the
Reform School shall be q Republi-
can machine, and manager for
the Republican hungry?
Governor Murphy has struck "a
blow at decent Government, aye at
good Government. Educational
institution, charitable institutions,
reformatory institutions, should be
non partisan. If they are made
partisan they will go to ruin, and
be IA simple burden on the tax pay
ers without compensating return.
We repeat again, there is only
one view to take of the Governors
action in excluding Democrats
from the Boards, and that is that
the Republicans contemplate theft.

PROHIBITION.

Not long ago Mr.. Ewing Herbert. Kansas news
psper man made statement that threefourths Of the
towns in Kansas virtually license the liquor traffic,
and that prohibition that State Is therefore utter
failure
Mr.. f. T. Stephens. ex.secretary Of the State Tenn
perance Union. made investigation with the idea OF
testing the accuracy of Mr. Herberts statements, with
The following astonishing result: He found that twenty
ve cities in violation of the laws and constitution Of
the State, openly license saloons; that twenty three
cities clandestiney license them; that fftytwo cities
have saloons running which not licensed, and nine
ty.two cities have saloons and but little occasional
liquor selling
So Mr.. Herberts statement is found to be not far
from correct Prohibition in the United States has
been found to be failure wherever tried. In many
places where the prohibition experiment has been made
& has been found that owing the larger quantities
In which liquor is purchased when is difficult to get
drunkenness has increased While the people of the
United States are the whole a sober people, there
is doubt that they believe in temperate drinking
In the last year for which statistics have been pub
lished there consumed in the United States %,
$4,000 gallons of wine 900 gallons of beer
81 600 gallons of whisky And yet this is less wine
than is consumed in Germany and far less than IT
France. less beer than is consumed In Germany o.
Great Britain, and less spirits than is consumed II
Germany. If the consumption of whisky per capita Is
considered, consume less than France, Germany Of

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS.

While the Southern senators and representatives
DO not believe that the proposal to reduce the repre-
sentation in congress of of the Southern States
on account of the partial Northumberland of the
eroes will result in any congressional action neverhe
less they have given the matter the closest attention
II the question is brought up for consideration there
will be undoubtedly of the most interesting de-
bates ever held In congress.
Many able lawyers both at the North and the
South hold that the fourteenth amendment which pro.
vdes for the reduction OF the representation when the
right TO vote is denied to of the male inhabitants
Of State the age of 81 years is superseded by
the fifteenth amendment, which provides absolutely
that the right shall not be denied or abridged
on account of race, color previous condition Of
servitude
But, even II this argument does not hold the suf-
frage laws Of the Southern States do not infringe the
provisions of the constitution or its amendments be.
cause the dsfranchisement is based upon iteracy,
Just as in the Northern States exceptions which
are made regardless of ieracy. as in the famous
Louisiana grandfather clause. although intended for
the benefit OF Confedefates and their u.eendants do
not In terms except the negroes who vote under
the provisions OF exception If they could qualify &C.
coy6lng to the requisites laid down. There is diff.
ny in section OF article OF the constitution which
ares the advocates of reduction of representation in
ne provides that representation shall be based
an enumeration to be made not oftener than once
IN ten years. Therefore reduction can be made of
representation until after the next regular census
Representation is based population and not upon
number Of voters. II the Southern representation
should. under the fourteenth amendment be reduced
upon calculation Of the number Of voters 1t would be
unjust because in the Northern States the voting popu
iatlon Is not considered, but the total population
Then il is urged that the present delegations could
not be unseated because any reappoionment ordered
by congress only be made for the future and can
not be retroactive as that would be ex-post faco
law prohibited by section Of article of the const
tuition The strongest argument is that upon which
