Three Governors at Once.
A Charleston, West Virginia
gram, dated March 4th, says:
At noon to-day General Goff, the re
publican candidate for governor, and
the claimant of the office, took the
oath in one of the rooms of the State
House set apart for the use of the
governor, and about the same time, in
another apartment, President Carr, of
the Senate, also took upon himself the
prescribed oath, and prepared to tran
ssiet the buginess of the office, while in
bis private office F. W. Wilson, who
his filled the office for the past four
years, continued to discharge his ac
customed duties, and in and about the
State House there was gathered a tre
mendous crowd of people, about equal
ly divided between the two political
parties.
About 12 :J0 o clock General Goff
and several friends came into the Cap
itol and proceeded to the private office
of Governor Wilson, who was also sur
rounded bv bis friends. General Goff
mounted a chair and addressed the
crowd which had assembled in the
room. He claimed that he had re
ceived a clear majority of the votes
cast, charged Speaker Woods of the
House of Delegates with having failed
in the performance of his constitution
al duties in not declaring the result,
and said : "I am now ready, in the
presence of these people of my state,
to kiss the holy bible and commit my
self to the destiny that awaits me by
virtue of the partiality of my fellow
citizens."
The oath was then administered by
II. C. McWhorton, after which General
Goff proceeded to Governor Wilson's
private office and demanded possession.
Governor Wilson was surrounded by
a dense mass of his friends and party
leaders. In reply to the demand he
said he was of the opinion that the
legislature, as a co-ordinate department
of the government, in joint assembly,
had exclusive jurisdiction to ascertain
and declare the result of the election,
and no title could come from any
other source. He felt it his duty to
continue in charge. President Carr
made a similar demand after taking
the oath, and was sinnlajly refused,
and thus matters stand.

The Lover Gila.
From W. A. McGinnis, who is the
engineer in charge of the construction
work for the St Louis company, now
owning the Mohawk canal, the South
Gila ditch, the South Gila canal and
the Agua Caliente springs, the report
er has gained considerable information.
Mr. McGinnis spent several days in
this city, visiting his family, and re
turned to his work last night. He
states that the South Gila Ditch will
be completed for a distance of 25 miles
bv the 15th instant. It has a bottom
width of 10 feet at the head and for
several succeeding miles, and of 8 feet
at the end. It will carry 10,000 inches
of water, and considering that it is in
the Gil river bottom it is thought
that it will reclaim 40,000 acres of
land. The colony which recently ar
rived has prepared a large area of land
which will certainly be brought under
cultivation the present season. A
number of nice houses have been put
up. The town of the colony will be
Christoval, which will shortly be sur
veyed.
The survey of the South Gila canal,
which will be 55 miles in length and
cover about 140,000 acres of mesa land
will begin in a few days.
I he company also contemplates the
erection of a fine resort hotel at the
hot springs on this side of the river
at an early day. This is a fine show

Discovery of Kleetion Fraud.
The first fruits of the investigations
into the big republican majority in
St. Louis at the November election is
given columns of space in two morn
ing papers of that city. A complete
canvass of the city has been made un
der the direction of Assistant United
States District Attorney Knapp, and
in the reports received by that official
it is claimed that dead men, non-resi
dents and negroes not designated as
colored on the registration lists, were
voted. The assertion is made that
prominent citizens are involved, and a
ereat sensation is promised, as a re
sult of these investigations, four per
sons, all colored, have been arrested by
the United States authorities, it
said that other arrests will follow.

Bessemer, Monday night, recovered
several thousand dollars which had
been lost by her cowboys, and then
saved the lives of the two gamblers,
just as the infuriated cowboys were
going to string them up. She is known
as "Cattle Kate," and runs a small
ranch near Bessemer. Sunday she
was robbed of $1,500 by her own men
here. Suspicion was aroused against
the gamblers. Their room at "Besses

Kate strode in accompanied only by
her foreman and both armed to the
teeth. While Kate covered the dealer
with a six shooter. Mason, her fore
man, secured the box and showed the
crowd that game was an unfair or

and Farelv and Bodell were terribly
beaten, and told to prepare for alynch-

A Dlitrsccfui Scene.
A Washington dispatch of March
3d, gives the following particulars of a
disgraceful scene in the senate that
has no parallel in the history of that
dignified body. It says:
Senator Riddleberger of Virginia was
ejected from the Senate Chamber to
night. The thronged galleries ap
plauded vigorously as the sergeant-at-arms
of the Senate and one of his
principal deputies seized Riddleberger
at the command of the President pro
tem, Mr. Ingalls, and forced him from
his desk, to. which he clung, and push
ed him into the cloak-room whence he
was taken to a safe retreat. Riddle
berger has been under the influence of
liquor for some time. To-night h
was unusually ugly and kept the floor
almost continuously objecting to the
transaction of all kinds of business.
Ingalls ignored his interruptions and
several bills were discussed and passed.
On Riddleberger hiccoughing his ob
jections, Ingalls announced that he
declined to recognize the Senator from
Virginia further, and Riddleberger
sank back into his chair and wasqid-H
for a moment. In a short time he
was again on his feet obstructing bus
iness.
The crowds in the gallery were
amused at the spectacle. A number
of Senators went to Riddleberger to
calm him. Butler of South Carolina
spoke to him and urgad him to be in
order. Vest of Missouri next triad to
quiet him. Then Sherman made an
effort to bring him to his senses. Hoar
tried a little New England persuasion
lhen lellerot Colorado whispered a
few words, but Riddleberger paid no
heed to these friendly counsels.
After Ingalls refused to recognize
im further, he telegraphed to Govern
or Lee of Virginia his resignation and
then took the floor again to interrupt
business. Ingalls then directed the
lergeant-at-arms, Colonel Canady, to
remove the benator lrom Virginia
from the chamber. Canady and a
deputy advanced. Canady placed his
hand on Riddleberger s shoulder and
whispered a word. Riddleberger shook
his head, and then Canady pushed
him slightly toward the cloakroom.
Riddleberger then seized his desk and
clung to that. The sergeant and his
stalwart deputy then forcibly ejected
him from the chamber, and took him to
some safe place to recover his senses.
Ihe Senate proceeded to transact its
business as soon as this disgraceful
scene was ended.
Riddleberger, when removed to the
cloakroom, quieted down, and after
about a quarter of an hour left the
Capitol for his hotel in the company
of a friend.

Against Public Schools.
Pittsburg (Pa.), March 3. At the
dedication of a Catholic Parochial
School building in Pittsburg on Sun
day, Bishop Kane of Wheeling deliver
ed an address, in which he severely
denounced the public school system
of America. In the course of his re
marks he said the public school sys
tem was divorced from moral and re
ligious training.
He could not understand how it was
just for a poor man who has no chil
dren to be compelled to pay a tax to
help educate the son and daughter of
a millionaire. The State, he said, has
no more right to tax a poor man for
the education of a rich man's children
than for the support of the rich man's
family. He denied that the Catholic
Church was opposed to education, and
said:
"The great problem that confronts
us to-day is the same as that which
confronted the people in Apostolic
times. There were schools then, but
they were Pagan schools and the only
way to counteract their effect- was to
establish Christian schools. That is
what the Catholic Church is trying to
do in America now."
Washington, March 6. Commis
sioner Stockslager of the general land
office, has rendered an important land
decision in the Tumacacon and Cala-
bazas private land claim in Arizona
holding there is authority for restrain
ing the survey of such claim for tw
reasons: First that the land being
within Gadsden s purchase of 18o3, is
not operated upon by the act of July
22nd, 1884, and of the treaty of Gau
dalupe Hidalgo; second: that the
"preliminary survey" of a private claim
does not of itself operate as a with
drawal of surveyed lands from settle
ment, and the entry in the cases in
curred by said act of 1853 are legal,
the withdrawal being only of lands
actually claimed or which shall be
legally claimed. Under this holding
neanv three million acres ot land in
New Mexico and Arizona are in a state
of unlawful reservation from settle
ment. Nearly all private claims in
Arizona are within the Gadsden pur
chase.

Our Djsert Lands and Irrigation.
Every day the subject of irrigating
lands for the purpose of cultivation is
becoming more important. The gov
ernment lands capable of cultivation
without irrigation are being rapidly
taken up by settlers, and the necessity
of redeeming the and plains is press
ing upon us. I he trials which have
been made indicate that cultivation
under a proper system of irrigation is
so much superior to that which de
pends upon the rains and. dews of
heaven that it is only a question of
time when the lately called esert
lands will bloomr blossom and' fruit
beyond the hope of the vaUeys'wbich
wait upon the clouds. Many thous
ands of fertile acres are only waitiug
water to fit them for theplqw of the
husbandman. I here is pKm v ul wa-
er going to waste among the. moun
tains and in the valleys. The only
question is how 'shall it be saved and
distributed. . Private enterprise is do
ing much in this direction, but in
many sections the expense involved is
so great and the results to" be obtained
so large that it is believed that the na
tional government will have to under
take the work or at least assist in it
As inhabitants multiply and consump
tion increases, the nation cannot afford
to hold idle and useless lands which
at a comparatively small expense can
be made productive, addiug to the
wealth and happiness of the people
and to the strength of the nation.
l he question has already attracted
attention in Congress and will doubt

Aa Mu ol Danger of Contagion from Diph
theria in Mild Canes as in Severe Ones.
That diphtheria iu all its forms is conta
gious seems to be an undoubted! (act, and iu se
vere cases every precaution is taken to pre
vent its spread. But tbe danger in wild
cases is quite as great, from tbe fact that
fewer precautions are generally taken. A
physician claims that what is commonly
called follicular tonsilitis in one patient may
produce tbe severest kind of diphtheria in
another member of the family.
On this point Dr. Jacob! is quoted as fol
lows: What has been called follicular tonsllltl Is
mostly diphtheria. It is seldom dangerous to
tbe patient, as tbe tonsils have but very little
lymph communication with the rest of the
body, but it is contagious. This form is fre
quent in the adult, in whom it loses nothing,
however, of its contagiousness. . Diphtheria
in the adult proves dangerons to the com
munity, mostly because it does not restrain
the patient from coinmuuicating the disease.
It is apt to last long: First, because most
cases occur on a surface covered with pave
ment epithelium (tonsils); secondly, because
of the constant exposure and neglect on tbe
part of the patient. Even without it, diph
theria may last weeks and more; with It, it is
subject to sudden relapsea As lung
as it lasts it is contagious. As diph
theria is but a mild affection in many
adults, who disregard it and fre
quently do not care to mention its existence,
pain in swallowing and moderate malaise be
ing the only symptoms, the question of trans
mission by means of clothing, etc, on the
part of third persons is capable of becomkig
more difficult to answer than it ever was.
Many a case which has been believed to be
thus carried is probably one of direct con
tagion from a patient to a second person,
from this second to a third.
Another authority explains that tbe con
tagion of diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and measles is due to microbes given
off from the skin or breath of the patient.
They either float in the air of the room, or
become attached to the furniture, walls and
bedding. Infested rooms and persons should,
therefore, be avoided; while attendants are
advised to keep their stomachs in an active
condition with digestible food, but should not
overload them. Most microbes are digested
and rendered harmless by a vigorous stom
ach.
A Cure for Round Shoulders.
Annie Jenness Miller, of dress reform fame.
tolls that she has seen a stooping figure and a
halting gait, accompanied by the unavoid
able weakness of lungs incidental to a nar
row chest, entirely cured by the very simple
and easily performed exercise of raising one's
self upon the toes leisurely in a perfect per
pendicular several times daily. To take
this exercise properly one must take a per
fect position with the heels together and tbe
toes at an angle of 45 degs. Then drop the
arms lifelessly by the sides, animating and
raising the chest to iu full capacity muscu-
larly; tbe chin well drawn in, and tbe
crown of the head feeliDr, as our
professor used to put it, as if at
tached to a string suspended from the
ceiling above. Slowly raise upon the balls
of both feet to the greatest possible height,
thereby exercising all of the muscles of the
lefts and body; come again into the standing
position, without swaying the body back
ward out of tbe perfect una Kepeat this
same exercise, first on one foot and then on
the other. It is wonderful what a straight
ening out power this exercise baa upon
round shoulders and crooked backs, and one
will be surprised to note how soon the lungs
begin to show the effect of suoh expansive
development.

Tbe Abuse of Milk In the Diet.
Tbe advantages of using a great deal ef
milk are very generally urged, but a Cana
dian physician uow claims that there may be
an abuse of this usually healthful beverage.
It is especially contra-indicated in cases of
acute rheumatism. In a number of cases
cited, all the patients had been large drinkers
of milk and their respective temperatures
were over 1US. The pain was also extremely
severe. They were put upon a diet of thin
water gruel flavored to taste and a mixture
containing ten grains of salicylate of .soda to
be taken in half a tumbler of weak lemonade
Ka very two hours till relieved. Inside of thirty-
six- hours the symptoms bad, in every case,
aluoosj entirely disappeared.

We are in receipt of a letter from
Geo. Scott, correcting a statement
made in our columns several weeks
ago, about cotton growing wild on the
San Pedro. Mr. Scott informs us that
the boles left at our office by Mr. Red
man were plucked from plants grow
ing in his garden, and that he has
raised cotton which produced 72 boles
to the stalk, the stalks six inches apart.
The plants were irrigated but only in
differently cultivated. Mr. Scott adds,
"I was raised where cotton is king,
and I believe that the lands along the
Colorado, Gila, Salt and San Pedro
rivers produce as fine cotton as is
raised in the Southern States, and as
muoh or more to the acre. Silver

An AHectlne Poem.
Richard EL Burton is tbe author of the
poem, "The City of the Dead." it U as fol
lows: They do neither plight nor wed
la the city of the dead.
In tbe city where they sleep away the hours;
But they lie, while o'er them range
Winter blight and summer change.
And a hundred happy whisperings of ftowera,
Ko, they neither wed dot plight,
And the day is like the nlht.
For their vision is of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
la tbe burg of by and by.
Where the streets have grasses growtag cool aad
long;
But they rest within their bed.
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid.
Deeming silence better far than sob or song.
No. the7 neither sigh nor sing.
Though the robin be a-wing.
Though the leaves oi autumn inarch a million
strong.
There Is only rest and pease
In the city of surcease
From the failings and the waiHngs neata taeeoa:
And tbe wings of the swift years
Beat but gently o'er the biers.
Making music to the sleepers, every one.
There Is only peace and rest;
But to them It esumetn best.
For tbey lie at ease, and know that Bf e done.

Washington, In the array register of 1780,
is set down aa "commander-in-chief," while
in the register dated Jan. I, 1783, he is de
scribed as "general and commander-in-chief."
The rank of general was revived by the act
of July 4, 180H, under which Grant was pro
moted on Jafy "SO. Grant bad previously,
Uorch 2, 1864, been promoted lieutenant gen
eral, under the act of Feb. 29, ISM. gher

on July 35, ISS0, when Urant. ob
tained his generaicy; he was pro
moted general March 4, 1SG9. Sheridan was
promoted lieutenant general on tbe same
day. As the grade of general bad been
limited by an act of congress to Sherman,
and that of lieutenant general to Sheridan,
the latter was not promoted when Sherman
retired. In June last, however, a law was
passed reviving the generaicy of the army,
which was signed by President Cleveland at
once; under it Sheridan was promoted on
June 3, 1888. The rank became extinct on

Who Would Be Inanffuratedt
Query. Whether Levi P. Morton, vice
president-elect, can take tbe president's
chair, if Harrison was to die to-morrow I
If the president-elect should die before In
auguration Day, the vice president-elect
would be inaugurated, and act as president,
but if the qualified electors had not cast their
votes, the case might be different, as the elec
tors can vote for whom tbey please. In the
case of Horace Greeley, congress decided that
the electors could not vote for a dead man
and so tbe three votes for Greeley from Geor
gia were not counted. The other Democratio
electors divided their vote thus: For Thomas
A. Hendricks, 43; for B. Gratz,6rown, 18; for
Charles J. Jenkins, 3; for David Davis, L
Accepting this precedent it follows that if
Harrison should die before the electors act
in February, the Republican electors could
choose Morton or any other man; and if they
should divide, tbe election woultll to the
bouse of representatives. In other words,
ths people do not elect a president; that is
done by tbe electors.

Morals of Society Pojranetnalltj-
Causes Much Discord.
Mrs. Qherwood discusses in The World
some of tbe minor sins against the etiquette
ot good society, and among other things she
says: Nothing is more common than the im
morality of keeping one's friends waiting.
It Is the privilege of a few people in this
world to be so fascinating and so worth wait
ing for that we are ail willing to be sufferers
in this cause. The anticipated pleasure of
seeing them when they do come is so great
that we are willing and anxious to have that
anticipated pleasure put off until tbey are
ready to appear. But tbe re;t of us are
Dot so fascinating perhaps it is a birth
right of which we have been defrauded
aud we find if we do keep people waiting
theft we grow iccidedly unpopular, and
people can do without us very welL Perhaps
we keep a friend waiting who is nervous
about her horses; they take a severe cold, be
cause we are not ready at the hour appointed.
Does she call for us again! No; not unless
we are unusually fascinating. We promise
to play the accompaniment at a friend's
bouse for a siuger. We are not punctual, and
250 people sit with the added anxiety which
a postponement causes, and the whole music
becomes a discord because we are tardy.
We intend to go to a reading, but we are
late and enter after tbe silence has fallen on
the crowd. Perhaps we overturn a chair.
and all the company is disturbed. We
promise to be present at a business meeting,
where six or seven ladies, all as busy as bees,
are waiting for us. We are late, and the six
other ladies are defrauded of a day of time
which is more precious than diamond dust.
Tbe sands of the hour glass in our crowded
lives are all diamonds. We cannot afford to
lose one of them.
Among men the business of being "on
time" is a peremptory one, but in society and
among ladies there is a very decided and em
phatic wrong committed by inattention to
this minor morality on which hangs so much.
Hardworking people are apt to be irritable,
and who works so hard as fashionable
women I Therefore people who keep these
bard workers waiting are apt to Irritate.

K front of tbe Emancipation Proclamation
od States Not Seceded.
President Lincoln, in considering; the ques
tion of emancipation, felt constrained to re
gard tbe interests of those slave states which
had not seceded trom the Union. In his mes
sage of Deo. 1SC3, he recommended the
adoption of three amendments to the consti
tution, providing for the issue of bonds to
compensate states which should abolish slav
ery before 1900; for the validation of the
emancipation proclamation and kindred
measures, and for colonizing free negroes
out of the country. Bills to compensate Mis
souri and Maryland for abolishing slavery
were-introduced by members from those states
early in 1863, and received favorable votes
in both houses of congress, but the shortness
of tbe session prevented the final passage. In
West Virginia, by constitutional amendment
adopted March 28, 186&f rdual emancipa
tion after July 4, 1B63, was secured. In Mis
souri the state convention which bad origin
ally been called to consider an ordinance of
secession, was reconvened, and passed, June
94, 1863, an ordinance of emancipation, taa
ing effect gradually after July 4, 1870. Con
gress, by act of Feb, 24, 1864, emancipated
negro soldiers, compensation of $300
for each being paid to loyal owners, and by
act ot March 3, 1865, emancipation was
extended to ths wives and children ot such
soldiers. This measuns closed the record o:
