We hear and see every day that
crime is on the increase. The coming
generation will be verse than the
present. The ehieEcause is, that
children receive nj, training. You
can find children in Mexico that are
actually taught nothing at home
not even table manners. They grow
up; at the public school a few days
Sunday. they r the Lord only knows
where, and He alone seems to care.
People who bring children into the
world owe it to them and to society
to take some care Of them. Teact
them at least the fundamental princi'

Clean Up.

Clean Up.
Warm weather is about to be upon
US, and it behooves the head of every
family to have the winters accumula-
ton of garbage raked up and hauled
away, and disinfectants freely used.
The past few months having been IN
usually wet, we may reasonably look
forward for more than ordinary sick
ness during the spring and sum-
mer months, if proper and timely pre-
cautions are not adopted to avert it.
Have all decaying animal and vege-
table matter removed before it has
time to faint the atmosphere. A
timely attention to these seemingly
small matters may keep many persons
from a bed of sickness during the
heated term.

tne rope, MI. AuomaS Dfcnuaui occ-
rotary of the Irish National League,
thus explains himself: "When the
Pope speaks e~r-cathedra, his opinion
will be respected but when he talks
Of the politics of Ireland, we have
just as much respect for his opinion
as for that of any other man of abili-
ty-no more and no less. If he takes
sides with England against ireland,
then we win be against the Pope.
There was a time before the people
of Ireland became educated-when
it was necessary that priests should
take a leading part in politics; but
that time has fortunately gone by"
1t is only by recalling the Difference
that has heretofore been paid to Pope
aud priesthood by Irishmen, that
the full significance of the above can
be arrived at. To this the Irish Ma
ton adds: "As regards staying ag.
itation, it (the papal circular) will
be without effect. 1t will react on
the church and make the Irish anti.
Catholic. Instead Of making England
Catholic, it will make Ireland Protes-
tant. The dream of the Pope is to
secure the conversion Of England.
To attain that end he would be will.
ing that Ireland should remain in
chains throughout eternity"
As the world grows older and wiser,
and political liberty is more and more
asserted, the greater and more uni
versal will be condemnation OF ecclesi-
astical denial of the right OF revoiu-
ton, and the more firmly and tenac-
iously win everything of that sort be
resisted.

THE INTREPID DON MACEDoNIs
ARRAGON.

After Receiving Four Mortal Wounds Hc
Brings Down Three Murdorous Cow
boys.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 1s.--Last Friday five
cowboys, all under the influence of liquor,
rode into Ute Creek, n small village fifty
miles east of San Hilario. Don Macedonis
Arragon was standing in front of his store in
tho act of starting in search of n .-ay horse.
The cow boys requested him to go to the rear
of his store and call his clerk. Arragon re-
fused and the cowboys began to abuse him.
Fearing violence Arragon procured rifle
and proceeded on his way in search Of his
horse. The cowboys rodo toward him and
ono of them, who was in advance of his
comrades, went up TO Arragon and shook
hands with him. When ho had obtained
possession of Arragon's hand, ho held on to it
firmly, while the remaining cowboys began
firing at the merchant with their revolvers
Arragon finally disengaged his hand and sent
bullet from his rifle through one of tho
cowboys, killing him instantly, Ho then
retreated to house near by, the cowboys
continuing to fire upon him as ho ran. After
reaching shelter from the storm of bullets
he sent another ball into the breast Of one of
the cowboys, killing him, and thon fired
again, wounding another of his assailants.
By this timo Arragon was so weak from loss of
blood, he having received four wounds, that
ho could no longer fire. The remaining cow
boys fled into Texas, and arc still at large.
Arragon fingered for twelve hours, whom he
died from his wounds.

his stock tender, Jack Harris, and two cow
toys while playing cards at Little Missouri
late Friday, became involved in q quarrel
when all agreed to settle it by fighting. A
man named O'Neil, together with Pruden and
Harris, started out in advance, when the cow
boys began firing, whereupon Harris and
Prudon turned and fired, killing one cowboy
and fatally wounding the other. They then
mounted horses and made for the hills. No

to-day vetoed the concurrent resolution in
structing the appropriations committees of
both houses to report an appropriation bill for
pay for senators and members up to and in
cluding Sept. 10, and to report no other
appropriation bill except for officers and
employees. The governor withheld his ap-
proval of the resolution on the ground of
unconstitutionGlity, and calling attention to
the fact that members of tho legislature shall
receive $40, per diem at each adjourned or
special session and that it is not within the
power of the legislature to diminish that
compensation,
When the message was received in the
senate vote was taken on the question,
Shall the resolution pass notwithstanding
the veto Of the governOrW and resulted

bers of the senate failed to vote in favor OF

THE PENSION FRAUDS.

The Uuited States government,
in it's desire to deal fairly and hoer-
ally with those who have rendered
it service, has overlooked much OF
the minutie attendant upon such q
contamination, and permitted much
of its substance to be squandered
upon agents and auxiliaries who,
acting under the guise OF law. have
in reality used their appointments
as a mask by means of which they
might the more effectually deceive.
So great and gross have been the
frauds practiced upon the Pension
Bureau that District Attorney
Corkhili, of Washington, has found
it necessary to issue a Icircular re-
questing those in possession of in-
formation on the subject to forward
it to him. that justice may be done
on one hand and punishment melted
out on the other.
It is certainly deplorable state
of affairs that so honorable and
| praiseworthy an effort as reward
ing the soldiers of the nation fol
| their past services, should be MADE

swindIes: the amount paid to the
veterans and those more youth1ui
who have risked their lives and in
some cases shed their blood and lost
limbs in defense of the country, Is
at best but small, and that it should
be made the object for speculation
and even peculation, would seem
aim Jst incredible; but the record
shows that it is so. There seems to
be a class who stop at nothing in.
their desire for gain, and this class
have massed a strong force intent
upon picking nd stealing whatever
they can lay their hands upon in
the way of margins on the allow
ances granted to the soldiers. 1t Is
this kind of thing against which the
governments chief prosecuting Off
Ger is directing his efforts, and
he deserves the support and en-
enlargement not only of the ADJ
ministration, but of the people
everywhere. Lawyers, or those who
claim to be such, who have per-
mitted their professional linen to
become soiled by contact with the
systematic roguery which has Pill
LACED the nations defenders and
their families, are being excluded
from such practice as enables them
to continue their wrong-doing as
fast as their ubiquitous conduct
comes to light.
In this connection it grleves us TO
be compelled to record Mrs. BelVa
A. Lockwood as the second person
against whom the fat Of disquallh-
cation has been launched. She got
into the mire from some cause, and
the stain will cling to heI garments
forever. She is as strongmlnded as
most men, but her strongmlnded-
ness has led her into the practices
of weak>minded men, and the rebuke
which she has received will, it's to
be hoped, be standing admonition
to manly women as well as to
vomanly men, in all departments
Of life.
