The Clifton bowling team, after
skirmishing the town Saturday last
for bowlers to complete a team Of
five, journeyed to Morenci, where
they were defeated to the tune OF
something like 300 pins. The exact
figures could not be secured, owing to
the fact that the boys have been
very quiet in regard to what took
place. However, they report a
"scrumptuous" time, as usual. Mo-
renci people know how to receive
visitors.
The Shannon-Colts match Monday
evening resulted in an overwhelming
victory for the Colts, the margin
being only 179 pins. This makes ten
straight games won by the Colts and
it seems that it is now impossible for
them to lose.
The match between the A. G. and
Independents did not come off last
night on account of the A. c. boys
not putting in an appearance. The
Colts accommodated the Independ-
ents with a game and proved vic
torious, as usual, by a margin of SO
pins.

A PAIR OF PROPHETS.

In all ages of the world there have been so-called religious leaders who proclaimed themselves divinely ap- pointed agents of the Deity to set up the Kingdom of heaven on this wicked earth. Each had his little day. Each made some impress on his time Many were rank imposters of the worst description. Some were ani- mated by low and sordid motives, and others by fanaticism or by selfish am bitions, says the Citizen.
 About seyenty-fiye years ago na- tive of Vermont, Joseph Smith. pro fessed to have revelations from the Almighty This prophet" as he styled himself, was the founder of Mormonism in the American republic. In the course of time the power of tho MoFmons was so great in the then very far West that it had to be put down by military forces of the United States. The corner stone of Mormon ism was polygamy. Numerically the Mormons are stronger today than at any time since their prophet and foun- der had his alleged revelations from the All High. They are represented in the United States Senate. They are potent political factor in more than one western state. Many of the sub. stantial citizens of Colorado. Arizona and Idaho are descendants of the Nor mons who were among the pioneer settlers of this region. In business, in agricultural pursuits. in the profes sions. large number of the follow CTS of Joseph Smith ha : achieved success and prominence. There has always been a certain quality of com mon sense and business shrewdness about the Latter Day Saints" Thus they have been enabled to survive the implacable dislike of the great majority Of the American people. II will probably be many years. if ever before Mormonism becomes extinct Meantime. it's most obnoxious feature is curbed by the law.

THE LEGISLATIVE WAGE SCALE.

Prayers for the success of Delegate Smiths bill, increasing the compensa- ton of Arizona legislators, will be ut tered by most Arizonans as well as by all ambitious and prospective Ari- zona statesmen. Ten dollars day is not too much. The present wage rate for law making, s4 day, is too little. While by strict economy the legislator can withstand the wolf at the door, his weaker brother has not sufficient resisting power to withstand the wolf. reinforced by the blandish- ments of the man who wants a bill put through and is willing to pay lib- eral rates for overtime.
 There are several kinds of men who will serve in the legislature, at s4 a day. One kind is the man who ac- cepts the office as pubic duty, and is so situated financially that he can undertake its performance. Then there is man who is covetous of what looks to him like a great honor. Then there is the other kind. who ac- cepts the place with its meager sal ary, trusting to that Providence which tempers the wind to the inadequately clad lamb. His trust is not misplaced if he keeps his eyes open, and that is what he does.
 The first kind of legislator is apt to be a useful one at any salary. The second kind is of a mental tempera- ment which makes him a cipher, and the third would better earn his sal ary by remaining at home beyond the reach of temptation. There are many well qualified Arizonans who cannot afford for four dollars a day to neg. lect their business at home and spend a legislative session at the capital Ten dollars day might induce them to do so. We would like to see it tried. We believe the added six dol lars would raise the standard of the legislatures; if ever so slightly the advance in salary would be a profit able nvestment.-Republic

there has been no prophet" and lead CT so spectacular as John Alexander Dowie, the founder of Zion City, the reincarnation of Elijah, the man who claimed to possess supernatural pow. CTS. Evidently he did have extraordi. nary gifts of a certain kind. judging by the number of his followers That thousands of persons should strip themselves of money and other valu- ables and give them to Dowie; that they should honestly believe for sev. eral years that he was all he repre- scented himself to be. possessing a mandate from heaven to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth; that he had the power to heal the sick and even to forgive sins: that thousands should be ready to leave home and friends and obey him to the minutest detail-all these things would be con sidered impossible in the Twentieth century if they had not actually oc- cured in broad daylight and were all facts of common knowledge.
 But Elijah III has fallen at last upon evil days. Tbe once faithful hosts of Zion are DO longer loyal 10 him. The puissant Dowie of old is within hailing distance of Zion in a Chicago hotel, broken in health-not as master. but as one who has been tried in the balance and found want ing, and rejected as unworthy of the leadership. It is a tragic ending of Dowie's career. Wife and son have deserted him. The most capable of his followers at Zion City are in league against him. He is denounced as q wicked, avaricious and unprincipled man, who has preyed upon the cred ulity of the Zionites. Clearly the glory has departed from Zion and the prestige of Elijah III has gone for ever.
 IL has been a marvellous career which Dowie's enemies are now striv- ing to close. He came to the United
 
 sheer audacity and a certain hypnotic quality he organized an army of fol lowers. collected millions of dollars for the purposes of Zion, established industries and filled the public gaze to an extraordinary extent. And now the spiritual and material edifices which he reared are about to collapse It is no wonder that Dowie cries out in rage and curses his enemies. It was so easy for him to impose upon the credulity of the people and amass riches.
 There is a pathetic side to the down fall of Elijah III-and that is the ease with which a certain class of peo- pie are duped and beguiled by i'm posters who pretend to be agents of the Almighty. There is sympathy for Dowie's victims, but no sympathy for the man who has converted their trustfulness into hard cash.
