No Hitch at This End.

The government has announced it's intention of purchasing the properties of the Arizona Water company # the purchase can be made at the price fix ed by the board of engineers. There IS reasoa to believe that the figures reached by the board will be accept able te- the company. They are. not @ great deal below the price which the company said three moaths ago t would take and nothing that ye know of has since taken place to enhance the value of the property in the epin- ion of the company. The water users would finally have something to say but it is the anlikeliest of things that any obstacle would be raised fa this quarter.
 Early in the negotiations an estimate considerably below that of the engin- eers was fixed by the Water users. That was based largely upon the cost of constructing a plant like that of the water companys. But since then it has come to be considered tbIt some thing not earlier thought Of would na- turally go with the plant. That is time and time is money, especially just now. Against it s1Oe,o00 is a baga- telle hardly worth d moments notice. Therefore nothing will occur at this end oe the line co delay the consun- nation of the deal. On the contrary everything poss.'yIe w.ll b. done to hasten the requirement. and rehabili- tation of the plan.

Improper Influence.

If the Republicans dispatches oi yesterday morning. accurately doserib the tactics enBloyed by Speaker Car non and the president in the statehood fight there is a political condition at Washington which invites the serious contemplation Of public EfeFa1ists. l. has always been understood. or at least it has been unders ,ood since the time @s the late Speaker Reed that the presid- ing officer Of the house was properly possessed of great power. l. has been supposed that he derived this power from the rHles adopted for the eXpe- dition Of public business, but it has not been contemplated that he would use this power to influence the votes of members of the house.
 We are informed now that Speaker Cannon is endeavorins to break the opposition to the joint statehood bill, first by argument which is proper, next by promises of reward which is impro- per and criminal and lastly by threats of reprisaI which is outrageous. We are. also told that the president is abetting if he is not melting tfss methods of the speaker.
 The term bribery in coane wIth legislation. we are apt to associate -wtta the giving and taking of money for support of q pending measure. That is punishable by law. To offer any article of value to a legislator Is & crime, and persons of strict morality faU to see the difference between a promise Of money ana a promise ei preferment or pork"
 The promise of the latter is really the worse crime. A congressman fer instance would scoIn a proffer Of mon ey, made to hIm by the speaker in con- sideration ef a change of his Tdegss ea a particu4ap measure. He might. }toa.- ever, be induced ee eecspt aolpetiatass for bis constituents. especially when the alternative of the promise of it is a threat that he shall be, seat hanse empty handed.
 The presidents eo0fua in t11is ease is an innovation in his office which is not meeting with approval. Other presidents have desired certain Iegis1a- ton anG nave gone as lar as they G0litq properly go toward securing f, bGt Ui- til recently we have heard of pene So- ing so far as to sacrifice any part of the dignity of his high office.
 Tn this ease he might ask himself if the legislation he seeks is worth it. 1t is conceivable that in certain eaaer- gencies, when the president helieTcs he is acting in the interest of the whole country against a strong and Rfsguid- ed party in congress, he might approx eh the border line of pFopriety, but what is there now to warrant Mr. Roeaevelt's journey far beyond t? Ea what way can he hope to benefit the nation at large by tearing down honorable pre- cedent and ruinine territory at the same time?
 We are not discussing the probabil- ity of the success of the efforts of the president and the speaker. So far they have failed Ne are ea]-- considering the morality of the methods.

Mr.. Douglas said he would refute in open
conference the charge that RomanlsIn had
entered into the charges and said mat ne

the Ashgrove Methodist Episcopal Church.
DR.. Buckley was on his feet ~denouncing the
letter as scurrilous and demanding h
it should not be finished. A great chorus
of voices demanded hat the reading hould

the Rev. DR.. Reed moved that the matter

1T is the horn of>the mail driver" said
Pere Nadeau.
The church was aglow with the light Of
many candles, set in temporary sconces,
on either side, and from the altar and the
deep box stoves were like great rubies,
so hearty were the fires of seasoned wood
which cracked within. In the choir loft,
fidIles we're being tuned, and as the ser
vice proceeded there rolled forth to their
accompaniment from the vigorous throats
of the young farmer choristers, the we'll
known carols of the season. Then the
priest from the rail of the altar spoke in
.fatherly tones, and the duty of forgive
ness, even as we expect to be forgiven,
was his theme. Pere Nadeau touched
gently his wife's hand, as the words of the
preacher touched them both on a hidden,
quivering chord, and their old lips moved
in unison as they prayed.
The wind had arisen to gale, as they
returned to their home, fine, cutting
drift obscuring the sight; but as they
drew near, in a momentary lull in the
storm, a spark of light twinkled forth fol

shaped shoes had been tossed into cor
ner all her newer belongings she had
taken with her; and the mother Nadeau
collected the despised truck and folding
them up, laid them carefully away. In
the sombre, inarticulate manner of the
peasant, they accepted their sorrow.
These were the early, undeveloped days
of the East, when the railroad and tele-
graph were unknown east. of Quebec, and
but 4 bi-weekly mail. by horse and ca
leche or sled, carried tidings of the out
side world. Once navigation closed, the
door was shut upon the jewellers in the
eastern hamlets bordering on the gulf. So
the snow fell in deep drifts, and the light
ers were pack-screwed high above the ice,
which rose and fell with the tides, their
masts looking ghostlike in the dark winter
nights. The once joyous fetes passed un-
noticed by Pere Nadeau and his wife
Christmas, New Years Day-and they
sat alone and silent, or went about their
daily tasks as best they might. Sometimes
the neighbors called, but while they spoke
of what was passing; of the cut of logs,
of the prospect of a good years shipping
to come, of Angeline they spoke no word.

sparkling once more, Claphas Ouellet, en-

The Notre Dame sailed at length for
Quebec; but the supreme content of Cla-
phas and the old Nadeaus was but short
lived. But few weeks had passed when
she returned to her old mornings, laden
with wind-blown apples for sale or ex-
change, with Boisvert, debonaire and Gym
zeal as before, at his former post. Cap
tain Locke was In port at the time, and
took an instant and unconcealed dislike
to him.
One dark fall night, while the hum of
coming easterly wind was heard in the
trees which overhung the river, the Notre
Dame des Anges swung round to the cur
rent, and slipped out seward, with Ange-
line seated, scared, and already repentant,
on cabin locker.
There was CONSERVATION in the Nadeau
dwelling when the morning light revealed
an empty nest in the old familiar attic,
from which she had never been absent for
night since her cradle had been con-
signed to the barn loft She had discard
ed her despised house dress, of blouse and
flannel kirtle, woven by her own hands, of
striped purple and yellow. The sabot-
