Kentucky never had but one
Torn Marshall. By the consuming
pow«r of bis fiery eloquence lie
swuv»d bis hearers at will, and as
an orator the name of Tom Mar
shall still lives in the hearts and
inaiiorit hos Kentucky. He was a
CTis : n of ihe f tnioiis Kentucky
Preni.yfi»»-ian divine. Breckinridge,
and graduated in the same class
with him. Breckinridge took to
ftr Oichintf nud to debiting in poli
ties as a divereion. Tom became
pre-eminent a> an orator and'«
times was as much noted for bis
indulgence in the flowing bowl as
for Itis oratory. Meeting Toni
once when he was under the in
fluence of Kentucky’s favorite pro
duct, Parson Breckonridge said :
“Tom, you ought to straighten up,
and quit drinking. Wo graduated
together and staited out equally
with bright prospects in life, and I
am sorry to see you blighting your
prospects for a brilliant, useful
life.” “Yes,” said Tom, “we
graduated and started out in life
together. We each had mi equal
show, you took to your Bible and I
took to ray cups, and I would like
•for you to tell me which has stuck
closest to his text.”
Some people nowadays entertain
the idea that the churches are
earnestly endeavoring to obtain
control of tliis government. Even
if this were tme. we are not aston
ished. “Hislorv repents itself ” is
an old truism which would not be
true if the above supposed condi
tion did not to lav exist. Upm
tiiis subject the R« view of Phoenix
•says: ‘ Ministers and religious edi
tors ought to have nothing to do
with the jail or scaffold. Christ
gave to the church the keys to the
kingdom of heaven, and with this
it should lx* satisfied wit lieu de
manding also the keys to the cala
boose. Church and state should
always remain separate and dis
tinct, for in th • measure in which
the pulpit succeeds in controlling
politics, so far is religion degraded
to the level of the lobby of the
legislature and the anteroom o( a
jail.
Ministerial movements in poli
tics are founded on an exaggerated
conception of the evil they are in
tended ta rectify. They are often
directed to impossible ends, and
when a minister or religious editor
attempts to take the lead in politics
he oversteps the limit of his sacred
calling at the fearful cost of de
grading his high office and putting
the church in a false light before
the world.
A disestablished church is an in
stitution that works for the better
ment of the world in the only way ,
in which the world can really and
peimanently be bettered—through
the education ot the individual ;
through the appeal to those in
stincts which need only to be de
veloped to erradicate the lower in
stincts of brutality. The ministers
and the religious editors then do
their work in faith and patienc**
and look to the long run, as it
were, for results. This does not
exclude them from their privileges
as citizens,nor prevent the churches
from organizing when an issue of
morality is before public opinion.
It is only saying that when they
mix in current politics and jump
to hasty conclusions about political
administration, they let go their
higher powers and become ns other
’ politicians. They loose much and
, gain nothing.
From 1700 to 1750 the death
ra'e in London was so high that
the population stagnated. In th<
former year the inhabitants num
bered 665,200, and in the latter
year 653,900. During this period
*he d-at is were in tlie rati • of
about, one per 30 persons living.
By 1801 the population bad crept
up to 777,000, and the deaths had
fallen to one in 41 persons living.
The great improvement in the state
of public health in London wus not,
except to a trifling extent, the re
sult of sanitary legislation. Peo--
pie had become more enlightened
on many matters affecting their
health, partly owing to a more
general knowledge of chemistry,
physiology and other sciences relal
jng to man and his surroundings
When those intrusted with the
condocfc of public affairs became
aware of how much the health of
the people was affected by bud wa
ter, by foul emanations, and even
cesspools,, th»*y began to secure
supplies of pure water, to construct
proper house drains and street sew
ers, to remove systematically filth
from houses aud to widen the
streets.
The Tucson Star says: “With
the completion of the North and
South road to Phoenix, Tucson
and Nogales, Arizona, will be con
nected north and south with tide
water. This will give us an inlet,
and an outlet which will prove of
untold value to l»oth the mineral
and agricultural resources of. the
territory ft will not only prove a
boon to Nogales and quadruple her
population and business, but will
make Guaymas one of the impor
tant seaport towns of the Pacific
cotst. In some respects, indeed,
she will rival Los Angeles and
San Francisco, for our South
American and China trade can be
bronglit via Guaymas when we
have the railroad facilities which
the new. railroad will furnish. The
Star has always maintained, and
still maintain-*, that Gmymas will
become the leading point on the
South Pacifi j coast. The comple
tion of the new road will he fol
lowed by an increase of population
and commerce which will bring it
to a coalition of commercial im
portance now undreamed of.”
A reception is to be given to G-
W. Boyd, grand recorder of the A*
O. U. W., by the MieHibers of that
body in this city this evening, The
order has grown by leaps *nd
bounds since it was started, jus’
twenty-seven years ago, in the
little town of Meadvillc, Pa. Its
founder lias come to be known as
f\
Father Upchurch, a man of sound
judgment and good heart. Previ
ous to his organization of the body
he was engaged as an engineer near
the town where it first took root.
Mr. Boyd will meet with many
men who have watched the progress
of the order with peculiar interest.
Among them is Governor L. 0.
Hughes, who was one of the first
members.—Star. And that order
is one to which every man who is
elligible should belong. It has dis
bursed millions of dollars to the
families of its deceased members.
Last Saturday the Colorado be
gan rising very rapidly and by
Sunday afternoon the laguna east
of town was filled ar.d the liottom
well covered. Some of the ranchers
will now have a chance to come to
town by boat, and rowing by moon
light will soon be a favorite diver
sion.—Yuma Times.
1 1 The Normal
The board of directors of tb« ter
ritorial normal school have finished
all the preliminaries connected with
the acceptance of the modilied p’ans
for the erection of the new school
building at Tempe, and it will now
be started at as early % date hi the
funds will admit.
The plans as seen in the office of
Architect Fr«d Heinlein, shew a
structure of the design,
on what the architect terms a. R<
raanesque style. The first ytoi
'.-which is sunken'for* a tew feet jLn
the gronnd, will be constructed
of brownstone, which ewit readily
be obtained from quarries of the
choicest stone only two miles dis
tant. Above this, two stories will
be constructed with pressed brick
facing, surmounted by an ornamen
tal roof, including an attie, that
may need be very useful.
On the ground floor five large
class or recitation rooms, are to be
utilized for the training department
of the school, wherein students can
gain practical knowledge in the art
of teaching, through the instruction
of primary and grammar school
classes, recruited from among the
children of the neighborhood. On
the second, or main floor., will be
the library, the labratory and three
class rooms. Oo the upper floor
will be the main a'ssembly room and
public hall and three more recita
tfon rooms. ’ *
As near as that objrct -can : be
attained, the building will be fire
proof. To be heated by steam ’
winter, it willyct be welt
lighted. The best o f plans for mod
ern school structures have been %
studied in its planning by the board
the faoulty and the architect, and
the result will not fail in being one
of the finest college buildings in
the west. The minimum cost will
be about $30,000
Tha new structure will stand im
mediately in front of the old build
ing. The grounds of the school are
ample, embracing twenty acres, and
are even now being beautified, to
be in keeping with the new college.

world.
Senator Wolcott uttered words
of wisdom in an interview with the
London Financial News. He said:
“If you should ever want some of
us from here to attend a conference 1
in London te talk business, don’t
propose to shut us up there in a
room full of gold owners or civil
servants, with fat, appreciating
official salaries. You did not em
panel a jury of dukes to deride
whether your corn laws should be
repealed; then why should you
collect a lot of bankers to decide
whether or no gold should be de
prived of its preeent monopoly val
ue bv the restoration of the joint
currency of the world.”
Dennis Kearney spoke from the
steps of the capitol at Washington
demanding of congress ‘.hat they
pass an act restricting Chinese im
migration. He was not molested
and his petition was granted.
Coxey several years .later sought to
petition in the same w&y-for an
issue of non-interest bearing bonds
and was arrested .before he oould
open his mouth. „The only differ
ence between the two requests it
that Dennis didn’t hit the pocketa
of the money power and pogey
struck directly at it.—Prospector,
Mo. 37.
