was made retu1nable to the government so that it might later be used for the purpose of retaining desert land, as contemplated by the irrigation act. .
 But the Republican would have the farmers of Salt river valley believe that the irrigation policy of congress and the government department in charge of it will amount to nothing if Fowler is elected to congress. It is an ad- mission of an attempt to be made by Fowler to change the whole irriga- tion proposition So that in future it will simply be a matter of apprOpriat- ing so much public money to any To- cality where the people will vote the republican ticket.
 We submit that the above proposi tion of the Republican is the limit of demagoguery, ,tiapdoodling, fiimdamery and hubdubbery.

people have no guarantee now that he would fill the Recorders office should
 he be elected this time. Judging him by his actions in the past he woulc not do so if he had the oppor- tunity to secure some other office which would pay him better.
 O'Brien quit the office of Probate Judge to accept the appointment of su- perintendent of the Benson Industrial School. For a long time, and until the people revolted at it. he held both the offices of Probate Judge and Su- Uerintendent of the Benson school The superintendency of that school which he resigned after his nomination for Recorder is still vacant and with O'Brien's defeat he will have another chance at that position should he de- sire to again look after the welfare of the incorrigible and criminal youth in that institution.
 No cne will claim that Mir O'Brien has any qualification for Recorder over Fran Hare If Hare is elected he will serve out his term; if O'Brien E elected he may do as he done be- fore-resign the office and leave the office to be filled by appointment
 But there is no danger of the Demo crats of Cochise county electing MT. O'Brien to the office of Recorder.

in the background for at least few months longer. But Mr. Smiths des- perate attempts to be elected by hook or crook and his unfairness to Mir. Fow- Ter force them to the front. Their dis cussion has been made necessary byMr. Smiths tactics.
 As to the first question, undoubted- ly it will not be necessary for our ranehers to pay for the reservoir in ten yeals. if they are ably represented in congress during the two years from the 4th of next March.
 As to the second question, the possi- bility of escaping the burden of debt wholly or in part hereafter will depend largely upon the success of the nation- al irrigation association in educating the public sentiment of the United States.
 For the present we shall pay attention to the first proposition-that of getting the valleys obligation to the govern ment extended.
 Who can doubt that if B. 4. Fowler is sent to congress he can secure the passage of bill giving our ranchers twenty years instead of ten in which to pay for the reservoir? But it must be donp before the payments begin.
 who.on the other hand. believes that Mark Smith could or would be of the slightest help ia that particular"
 The money which the Salt river farmers have obligated themselves to return to the government is to pay for water which will go on to lands already patented and not to reclaim uncultivated and desert land. The canal sharks of the saIt river valley sold water to irriRate many thousands ot acres of land which they knew could never be supplied; it is to supply this land which the government Tasks pay for and it is right that it should have pay. The irrigation act was for the reclamation of arid and desert Ind and not for the purpose of supplying water to farmers who had been buncoed by robbing canal companies which has we'll nigh bankrupted every farmer in the Salt river valley. But the govern ment said to the farmers in the Salt river valley who had no water for their improved farms. eff yoa will secure money necessary we will include your land with the desert land to be re- claimed under the Tonto dam."

 The republicans are doing some re- markable ground and lofty tumbling in their effort to secure the election of B. A. Fowler, the republican eandi- date for congress from this territory. The Phoenix Republican has reached the limit of hubdubbery and attempt to deceive. That paper is now trying to make the people of the Salt river val ley believe that if Fowler is elected to congress he will be able to have their obligations assumed by congress in se- curing the construction of the Tonto basin reservoir cancelled. In other words, that this remarkable man Fow- Ter will be able to disrupt the govern ment plan of irrigation and insure a free gift from the nation of three mlll- ion dollars to the people of the Salt river valley. No one in Arizona would object to the proposed scheme if it could be brought about, but its sug gestion is the raukest kind of demagog- uery. Under the reclamation act the farmers within the reach of every res ervoir would demand free water if the ranchers in the Tonto basin had their obligations cancelled and such de- mands would defeat the operation of the reclamation act. However. if the leading republicans of the nation had not opposed the bill carrying the appropriation as originally introduced the Salt river valley and all others needing water could have been sup piled without the personal obligations of the ranchers. We quote as follows from the Republican of recent issue:
 s'The ranchers of the valley have ob- Hgeted themselves to the government of the United States to pay back to the government the money expended by the secretary of the interior in the construction of tho Tonto basin reser- vior. This payment is stipulated to be in ten annual installments. begin ming the year the reservoir is compiet- ed.
 What sum will be owed to the gov- ernment is yet unknown. 1t will pro bably exceed three millions Of dollars.
 The ranchers can repay this huge sum iu ten years. They have cheer fully agreed to assume the heavy bur- den in order to get water storage.
 But under competent representation at Washington. will it be necessary for the ranohers of the Salt river val ley to lift the burden of this three mill ion dollar debt in ten yearss
 May it not be possible. indeed to get the government eventually to wipe out this debt, or part of it?
 These are the questions which we should have much preferred to see kept

What Rip Forgot.

While JOSEPH Jefferson was brew

guest, ex-President Gle

the high art of preparing a hot

Several times Mr.. Cleveland .tast-
ed the steaming liquid thoughtfully,
naming the ingredients as he identi-
fed them. "Nutmeg-lemon-wa-

"Whats wrong?" queried Mr.

The cat was very highly regarded
in England at one time, both as
rat and mouse catcher and as an or
nament to society. The ancient
Egyptians treated cats with great
distinction. 1t was a crime to kill
them. The most prominent cats
were upon death embalmed in drug
and spices, and cat inummies have
been found side by side with those

WheA the host advanced, the Egyp.

covering that they would be unable
to do damage to their enemy with

NO. AZ.
Lincoln and Mcclellan.

Robert T. Lincoln, son Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, has almost disap-
peared from public view.
The son of the man whom Abra-
ham Lincoln defeated at the polls 40
years ago-McClellan-is in the
forefront of the future presidential
possibilities OF his party.
How has the whirligig of time
wrought the change? The reason is
to be found in the men themselves.
Robert I. Lincoln has inherited
few if any of the personal traits of
his illustrious father. If Abraham
Lincoln was plebein, then Robert
Lincoln is an aristocrat. Certainly
the latter has no qualities of per-
sonality that appeal to the plain
people. He inherits from his moth
er.
In the campaign of 1896 Robert
Lincoln was billed for few cam
paign speeches in some of the illi-
nois cities where the great Lincoln
had practied law. The older people
Especially hocked to see and hear
"Bob" Lincoln. They met him.
Once was enough. They heard him.
There was nothing in feature or pose
or words to remind them of the
martyr president. The disappoint-
ment was painful and since that
time Lincoln has dropped out of
political circles. He may be an ex-
cellent man, but it seems TO be pain
full for him to mix with the common
people.
Chiefly because he was the son of
his father, Robert Lincoln had a
seat 10 the cabinet of two presidents
and was made minister to England.
He had every chance to become pop
ular. 1t was thought his name would
land second Lincoln in the white
house. But he utterly lacked the
ability to provoke enthusiasm.
On the other hand, young Mayor
Mcclellan is coming to the front in
the esteem of the people. Like his
father, the eminent general, McClel-
Ian is a fine organizer, tactician
and a good mixer. In his fight
with Tammany it has been demon
strated that he has plenty of moral
} fibre and backbone.
Both these men had great birth
right in the republic. Lincoln's was
the greater opportunity. He has
, had his chance and has failed to win
more than respect. What McClel-
Ian may do remains to be seem

BRIGHAM YOUNG.
The Great Mormon Leader Was Man
Of Remarkable Shrewdness.

Whatever else may he said OF
Brigham Young, he was a great
general, magnetic leader of crude
though undeniable power and a
shrewd lawgiver. We may scout
the idea that he was in truth di-
vine prophet, but we may scarcely
deny him a large gift of the pro
phetic Imagination. He was perhap:
the grossest materialist of his time
but he got results. Though men Of
American blood had never before
attempted irrigation farming on &
large scale, though the possibilitiei
Of the arid country were then un
dreamed, though the obstacles o
great distance from supply centers
Of dangers from the Indians anC
from famine, were seemingly insur
mountable, Brigham Young saw
with the eye Of Imagination an EN-
pire in the midst OF the Great Des
ert, and such confidence did he plac,
in his visions that his faith bore NJ
and inspired all his people. Nat
ural power is not so common in thu
world that we can afford to refus,
it recognition, even when its exer
else is not unaccompanied by glar
ing abuses.
The matchless bravado of th'
dreamer Before his followers hac
enough to eat, before they knew
whether they would ever see anoth
er spring. Young was sending ou
explorers and scouts to bring re
ports concerning more distant val
leys, already planning for the ex
tension of the Mormon empire ia
beyond the valley where the frs
settlements we're made, now Sal
Lake City.
Every move made by Young wa
characterized BY a sort of diabolica
shrewdness. He first reached ou
with covetous hands to secure con
troll Of all the water within hun
dred miles or more Of Great Sal
Lake, knowing that this would Civ
him absolute command of. all tn
arabic land, make him supreme die

Remove the Cause.

II we would get rid OF an evil we

Sweeping the Carpet.

Carpet sweeping is best done with
a reliable carpet sweeper, for labor
is saved and cleanliness insured by
the collection of the dust, which, be-
ing dislodged from the carpet, has
no chance of being blown over the
room and settling in furniture and
draperies. If the sweeping cannot
be done with carpet sweeper, then
begin proceedings by scattering q
few damp tea leaves over the carpet,
Sweep with a not too hard broom
and always in one direction. Too
much energy in the matter does nc
good, but actual harm, for it makes
the carpet shabby before its time.
