Flagstaff. GOVERNOR MURPHY AND HIS OFFICERS and Lord Inchiquin, who is far better known among his country men as "the O'Brien" than as Lord Inchiquin. The wives of the Irish chieftains, when they go to court, are offlciallyad-dressed as "madame," and it may be recalled that when Queen Victoria visited Dublin, and she included among her guests at dinner the O'Conor Don and his wife, the latter was officially described in the court circular, edited by the queen in person, as "Madame O'Conor." I have had so much that is unfavorable to record in these columns of tne late Lord tiranville. and his mother was the only daughter and heiress of the German duke of Dalberg, who, on becoming a widow, wedded the late Earl Granville, and was his first wife. The late Lord Acton's son and successor is, like him, a Roman Catholic.

He is a graduate of Oxford, and a member of the diplomatic service, being attached as secretary to the staff of Sir Frank Lascelles, the British ambassador at Berlin. He is as much a favorite with the Prussian reigning family as he is with King Edward. E. B. GAGE.

I may add that one of the rea- sons which render the new Lord Ae il nus oeen taken for granted that the new gov- ernor would make a number of chang in the personnel of territorial officials, because it has always been the custom ror a new governor to surround himself with appointees of his own choice, but such changes as may bo made by Governor Brodie will not imply any reflection on the excellent corps of om-ciais of which the Murphy admiu-stra- governor x. tion has been made up.

He does not hesitate to express his distaste for the music of the great Maestro of Baireuth, declaring that it is far too noisy and complicated, that it convoys no meaning to him, and that in his opinion the works of Auber and of Gluck are immeasurably superior. Of Gluck the opera whicli the kaiser prefers above all the others is that entitled "Armide," while the I "Black Domino" is the composition of which ne likes the best.

I mention this because a very widespread impression prevails to the effect that the emperor is fanatically da-voted to Wagner's music, and that he regards Wagner as the composer who, of all others, embodies to the greatest extent the Teutonic spirit, German patriotism, and legendary lore in his music. There are quite a number of European sovereigns who share Emperor William's views with regard to Wagner. Indeed, the only crowned heads that have ever displayed any pronounced liking for his works are Queen Alexandra, her sister, the widowed empress of Russia, the widowed queen of Italy and the young queen of Portugal. Medicai men seem to be coming to the fore just at present. A physician is on the high road to become commander-in-chief of the United States army in the person of General Leonard Wood, and the new prime minister of France, Dr.

Combes, is likewise a doctor of medicine. Before joining the medical profession he was a priest, and as the Abbe Combes figured for sev- oral years as one of the professors of i the College of the Assumption at Nimes, where lie was renowned for his i piety. A certain mystery prevails re- garding the circumstances which led mm to abandon the church for the scalpel. and to convert his doctrine divinity into one ot medicine. But he is now as determined an opponent of tlie demands of the clerical party in France as he was formerly a champion thereof, and is not only one of the pillars of French Freemasonry, but likewise an avowed atheist.

In France, it may be remembered, atheism plays a great role in Masonry, and it is owing to the intimate association between the two that German, British. Scandinavian, and American Masons are barred from Masonic- intercourse with their French brethren. In a speech in 136 by Premier Combes at Beau va is, he denounced the religious beliefs or the day as "more or less absurd, and in any case erroneous, and as such bound to disappear." Dr. Combes, who, like the late M. Waddington, Gainbetta, Spiiller, is of foreign origin, the name which he bears being English.

He is quite short, but yet stoutly built, with a little bit of beard. He has the appearance indeed of an elderly professor, and is about sixty-seven years of age. Andrew Carnegie loses a warm and valued friend by the death of Lord Acton, who had undertaken the by no means easy task of forming the private library of the Scotch-American multi-millionaire at Skibo castle. There were some 10,000 volumes to be selected, and the money which Carnegie assigned for the purpose amounted to $150,000. Lord Acton had almost completed the task, and with him disappears one of the most iearned and, in every sense of the word, intellectual members of the upper iiouse of Great Britain's parliament.

He was regius professor of history of the University of Cambridge and the late Mr. Gladstone, who was no mean judge of men. was wont to declare that of all the persons that he had ever met Lord Acton was the one whose learning covered the widest range and whose sources of knowledge were the most extensive. Lord Acton was born at Naples as a nephew of the famous Cardinal Acton, who played so great a role under the old 'Bourbon regime at Naples, and was married to a sister of the late Count Arco, who for many years ren- resented the German empire at VVash-J The Arizona Capitol a Superb Monument to the Outgoing Administration The Roster At this morning Arizona's thirteenth Governor, Alexander O. Brodie, will take the oath of office before Chief Justice Kent and will qnietly take up the duties of the office.

There will be no parade and no flummery. There was talk of more or less ceremony, a reception, and so on. and an excursion from Prescott was discussed for awhile as one cf the possible features, but it was the of the very practical and matter of-fact incoming governor that there no fuss an featheis. Governor Brodie not a dress-parade soldier, and it is cvictSht that lie does propose to be a dress-parade governor. In their dislike for pomp and show in official matters, Brodie and Murphy are much alike.

This change in the office of the executive of the territory takes place on he date fixed by President Roosevelt. Early in April last Governor Murphy, in fulfillment of plans Which had been maturing for a year, forwarded his resignation, to take effect at the pleasure of the president, and Mr. Roosevelt decided on the beginning of the rew fiscal year as the date for Ui. resignation to take effect. He thereupon sent to the senate the nomination of Colonel Brodie to be governor of Arizona, "after June 30." and the nomination was promptly and unanimously confirmed.

Governor Murphy's second term as governor has lasted practically four years, he having been appointed to succeed Governor McCord by President MeKiniey in August, 1S9S, when Governor McCord took the colonelcy of the First regiment of territorial infantry. The Murphy administration has covered the most remarkable period in the history of the territory. During thr: past four years there has been a greater advancement in the development of Arizona's resources than during any decade previously. This was due, of course, to the good times brought to the whole country by a return to republican politics in the nation andto the confidence established abroad as to the integrity of the people of the territory. The "Murphy monument" is the territorial capitol.

Immediately after Governor Murphy took office arrangements were completed for the construction of the capitol. A commission was appointed to supervise the construction and never was a trust more faithfully carried out. The portraits of the capitol-building commissioners, Mr. E. B.

Gage, Mr. Walter Talbot and Mr. Frank H. Parker are printed on this page of The Republican. With the hundred thousand dollars provided for the purpose they constructed a.

capitol building which will the pride of the people as long as the structure stands. Of massive granite and tufa, and following classical Greek lines, the Arizona capitol is ow. of the most beautiful public buildings in America. Indeed, during the statehood debate in the hcuse of representatives at Washington a few weeks ago some ot the eastern congressmen alluded to Arizona's ca-pitol as the most beautiful capitol in the union, but this distinction is not claimed for it. It is, however, a ouilding which would do credit to any state in the union, and it is safe to say that never in history was there such another capitol con structcd so cheaply.

It has been often remarked that had the building been erected in any of the eastern states its cost would have run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The secret of the great achievement honest management. It is no exaggeration to say that not even a postage stamp was wasted. Yesterday a tablet of marble was placed in the rotunda of the capitol, on the second floor, reciting the history of the building and the history of the organization of the territorial government at Navajo Springs in 1S63, and the location of the territorial capital at Prescott. later at Tucson, then at Preseott again, and finally at Phoenix.

But the tablet makes no mention" of the governor and the commissioners whose fidelity to a great trust gave to the people a capitol which will stand for all time as a proud monument to the integrity of Azona's public servants. Upon taking the office of governor this morning Colonel Brodie will find not only a superb building in which ure sumptuous executice chambers which called out the admiring comments of President McKinley, but he will find the territorial "machine" in of tor twenty years.

Lentz, has added one more claim to fame. Each contestant for a seat in congress under the law as well as the man who holds the seat is entitled to his expenses up to $2,000. Lentz contested for Tompkins' seat but failed to make out his case before the election committee. Lentz. placed his expenses at the limit fixed by the law $2,000.

So did the other twelve men who were interested in contests, but Mr. Tompkins put In his expenses at the modest sum of $1,909.06.
