Some Weather Statistics.

The cOpious rains during the past
 week have revived hope as we'll as be-
 ing of a substantial advantage and
 blessing to Arizona generally. Never
 in its history probably have condi- tions been so alarming and dishearten- ing as they have been during the pres ent month up to the 20th inst, the date when the drouth was first broken by rainfall of .7S hundredths of an inch and which has been followed by other timely and heavy showers.
 The Journal Miner is in possession
 of a complete official record of the maximum and minimum temperature for every month from January 1 1876, to December 3l, 1899, and of the mean temperature and the rain fall for every month from 1865 to December 31, 1899, a consultation of which is very interesting.
 During that period the temperature has reached 100 or more eleven times as follows: July 1876, 100; June 1878, 20, and July of the same year, 1O3; July 1879, 100, and September of the same year. 100; July 1882, 100; July 1889, 100; June 1892, 100 and August of the same year, 1O1; July and Aug ust, 1895, 100; June 1896, 104; July 1898, 1O2.
 The banner month for rain during that period was July, 1870, with a record of 7.9S inches, the precipita- tion for August for the same year be- ing 3 49 inches, making total for the two summer months of the rainy season 11.47 inches, followed by a trace in September. This is the greatest precipitation during the period of thirty-two years covered for the two months which are considered the summer rainy season. In 1897 the rainy season extended into Septem- Der, the rainfall for July, August and of that year being PAS, ,. O6 and 3.47 respectively, or total precipitation of l1.01 inches
 Septebmer. 1887, also had an ab- normal rairfalI with record of 4.88 inches, the greatset amount for that month during the period of thirty two years but with only Fl of an inch in August and 2.64 inches in July.
 During the thirty 1.-two years period the precipitation for Aug ust was greater than in July, in twenty years and in twelve years July had an excess of rainfall over Aug 1st.
 For the ten years from 1869 to 1879, the average rain fall for the two months of July and August was 7.14 inches. During the next decade from 1879 to 1889 for the same months the average was 5.l4 inches and from 1889 to 1899 it was ,. T inches.
 The lowest rainfall for the two months was in 1877 with aTe3ord of 1nIy ] 5 inchse and the next lowest ,. 90 inches was recorded in 1881.

Trust in hand, and the President
has the highest confidence in his
,egal ability.
The fact that the President fin
ished his message before starting
for St. Louis, and that it is now in
proof, is thought here in Washing
ton to indicate that it is a brief
document recommending little leg
islation outside of the regular ap-
preparation bills. These of them
selves promise to call for enough
money, and it would be unwise to
disturb the present business inter
ests by introducing revolutionary
Legislation. On all sides bureau
chiefs are asking for more funds
and more men. Government work
increases so fast, as a result of the
great undertakings in which it is
engaged, that it is difficult to keep
up with it. The Panama canal
will soon need many more men and
much money. The chief of the
Bureau of navigation asked for a
general staff not unlike that provi-
ded for the army, to administer ma
val affairs, and says, that the num-
Der of officers should be increased
at least so per cent. He wants 600
Lieutenants in the Navy and 800
Lieutenant Commanders. He urg-
es that the United States must be
prepared to meet any crisis at any
time. He would have Congress
authorize a naval reserve of 1000
men with 600 commissioned Off
GERS.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

All appearances indicate that the
Administration will conduct the
affairs of the nation on strictly bus
mess principles for the common
good. The tone of the Presidents S
three last speeches pleading for
race harmony, deprecating class
distinctions, urging men and wom-
en- to be strong and make the most
of themselves, advocating the sim
pie life and proclaiming religious
toleration, indicates that so far as
in him lies peace and good will
shall prevail throughout the land,
followed by a state of intelligent
happiness heretofore unknown in
America. On Wednesday last
some Chicago gentlemen called at
the White House to ask the Presi-
dent to induce Secretary Hay to
consent to deliver a speech on
Washington's birthday before the
Union League Club of that city
Mr.. Roosevelt said that Mr. Hays
health is not such as to warrant
his undertaking to prepare pro-
gram for the forthcoming Hague
conference. And while Congress
is in session the work of the State
Department will be augmented.
The President added that now
that the campaign is over, and sec
retary Taft, Shaw and Wilson have
enlightened the people generally
upon government matters, from
Maine to Californioa, he desires
for the future that members of the
Cabinet shall not be called upon to
deliver addresses except when they
may necessarily appear as public
officers. He says so much speak
ing and travelling interferes with
their proper work and retards bus
mess. Most people will agree with
the President and applaud his de-
termination.
Much to the delight of Massachu-
setts the announcement is made
that Secretary Moody will remain
in the cabinet. The president is
fond of him, and finds that they
hold many views in common on
the great sociological questions
capital and labor; improvement of
moral and material conditions; the
tariff. finances, trusts, etc. Mr..
Moody is known to have the Beef

IT is refreshing to read the Ev-
cry Evening these days. Its post
prandial election vaporings remind
rs of the solemn silence of that
paper after the great steal of the
election of Kent county in 1896,
when the will of the people was
stiAed and a Democrat Legislature
installed by the boldest election
steal ever perpetrated in Delaware.
In last Saturdays issue the Every
Evening says
1t is written that "The way of

it not also be written, in Delaware
at least, that "The way of the cleo

devote some of its valuable time to
having the crimes committed in
the name of Democracy properly
punished.
