Rnoih and the Lord,s Prayer.

The sIl- ence could almost be felt. It became absolutey painful before his rich toned voice from the death-hued lips indes- cribably burst forth, ''Our Father who art h heaven" etc. Every heart was filled with pathos and the sOlemnIty of the occasion. After he had finished the silence continued until g subdued sob from a remote corner of the room broke tue spell.
 The host stepped forward with stream ing @ os, and seizIng Booth Dy the hand sal5: ''S;r, You have done me favor for which my whole future lIfo will feel grateful. am an old man and every day from Iny bOyhO0d 1 thought 1 had repeated tbe Lords prayer, but 1 have never hssrd It repeated before. never" |.

THE news comes that the Pioneer mill, at Globe, was destroyed by an in- cendiary fire on Sunday night. This is n severe blow to that mining company and to the town of Globe, and 1t was probably done through some little per sonal spite by one whose love of revenge Is greater than his desire to earn an honest Livelihood. This class of crimi- n8ls is evidently augmeEtinE ID num- bers throughout the United States, and the methods of their retaliation ex- tends from the less pernicious practice of boycotting, through long catalogue offenses to the deadly dynamite and riotous murders.

A RECENT Washington special says the the President is evidently disappointed in his new Civil Service Commissioners. The principal reason for changing tke old board was that he believed he could more readily impress upon the new members h,s own ideas of improvement in the administration of the civil service law. The old board had practically created a system and had become sccus- toned 10 a certain routine in the per formsnce of their dutes, and were thus less liable to adapt
 themselves 10 any change. So it was decided to get new members where the balance of power would be of the same political faith as the administrA-
 tiOn, and who. II was thought, would
 readily become imbued wi;h the Presi- dents views. The President believes that there should be broader construc- u n to the law than now obtains, and that other qualities, besides that of
 merely being able t0 answer correctly a series cf questions, should be taken in- to consideration in the matter of se- lechng persons for appointment. Fitness for the position, capacity for handling men, and 6 technical knowledge of the duties required, were as necessary in the Sterling case as high rank in the written examination, and hence all the names of those who passed the exGmIn- alton were submitted to the Collector. This should be the course ID all cases,
 and the csTsifcstion should not be con fined to the four highest on tine list. This is the Presidents idea, and be has so publicly expressed himself, and yet tho new commisslon- CTS have taken occasion to say tbat their action in the Sterling case, so far as relates to certifyi ing the whole list, IS not precedent of what they will do in the future, and hence the Presidents disappointment over the fact that the members have failed to grasp his idea upon the subject of civil service reform.

THE people of the eastern states should bear in mind the fact tbat the Indian troubles that have cursed Ari- zona and New Mexico continually for the past SIX months, are confined to Q comparatively small area of each Terri tory, and that all other portions are en- tirely free from hos,iles and are as safe for travel Hs the most thickly settled portions of the eastern states. The eastern portions Of Graham and Cochise counties ID Arizona, and Grant county New Mexico constitute the field of hos tile operations. The railroad has con- ple;e immunity from their diabolIcal deeds, and the settlements are not mo- tested. It ls only isolated persons CT families that are murdered by the cow ardIy wregches, and travellers by rail or residents of the towns are perfectly safe. h Pima county, in which Tucson is located, there are TO hostile Indians, and prospectors and miners are plying their vocation in almost every hull and mountain, unmolesied and uutrouble3 by hostiles, far remo'e from the towns. II Is well for eastern people who are looking towards Ariz ma for settlement or investment. 10 realize that a few dozen hostills on the war path in one corner of our large Territory brings TO danger to the greater portion of it.

TIE Tombstone Record-Epitgph ex. hibits such unmistakable symptoms of alteration of mInd that 1t Is almost a useless waste of tune and spnce to deny it's maudlin attacks. The CITIZEN, in its issue of last Saturday, pictured the sentiment of the people of south ern New Mexico regarding the Apache Indians, and the current rumors that they might possibly make an organized attack upon the San Carlos reserva- ton. We expressed at that time En ut ter disspprobation of the scheme, bnt in its uncertain understanding or wan ton perversion of our expressions, the RecordEpItaph terms 1t a "cowarily plot" in which the CITIZEN acquiesced. The most careful examination of the files of CITIZEN will disclose the fact that this paper bss always and under all circumstances deprecated every pos sible act of lawlessness, even in the face of popular clamor and inceniiary excitement The Record Epitaph has misrepresentld IFS and permitted its pa sion to exceed its judgment.

IT IS to be hoped that the citizens of Tucson will eyiDce 8 greater degree If public interest m municipal matters and. select candidates for city offices solely upon their merits, regardless of partizan afiiligtion. There is hardly . position to be filled that is regarded as at all desirable, and only a willingness 10 sacrifice the time labor, and talent for pu0hc good will prompt the right kind of material to accept office. 4 full ez- pression of the sentiment of tLe people Is particularly desirable ir Q omiaating mass meeting and If it results in She se- lection of honest and competent men our city will derive great benefit from the awakened interoHt of its people.

King Thebaw's order for the exsermi. nation of Englishmen Is of piece with bis bOmbastic answer to the British ul tImatum. There are by this time, hard ly any Engllshmen Tn Upper Burmah, the foreign employees Of the Bombay Burmah Company being nearly all Itsl- ians. The dams which the Burmese are erecting Tn the Irrawaddy will delay the British advance just as lIttle as the wholesale destruction of their own bridges by the French did that of the Germans Tn 1870. The extremely for midable fiotilla which the British are about tO send up the river will sweep away the dams even more rapidly than the French did the similar indictments constructed to hinder their progress on the Bue River in Annam--New York Telegraph.

 THE unreasonable depression in Qui- iotoa stocks IS unaccountable to every person who possesses any knowledge of the wonderful resources of wealth in the properties ot the companies oporst ing m Mount Ben News. The Peerless mill Is turning out bullion ID satisfac- tory quantities, with reserve ore bodies that will be good for several years con- tinuous working. The output Is now exceeding by far the expense and the treasury Is growing plethoric with the accumulaiions from the bullion pro- duct. Just why the stocks should drop several dollars below tEe amount of as. sessments that have been paid Is a mys- tery to all who are not ID the deal. Every person who has any personal knowledge of the Peer, Peerless and CIocker ore bodies expresses of the mines and the ultimate advance in the price of stock to par and over. The present depression IS therefore not attributed to any dis
 appointment in the developments of the tangible property of the companies, but 1t IS characteristic manipulation by the management, who ok to future profits through the requirement. of adjacent properties or the universal distribution ot the stock of one company to brIng the other into prominence. The low price is simply the result of a premedI- tRted Han, and there IS TO risk to hold CTS Of stock who have purchased even at the highest rates that have been quoted.

 TIE Balkan war Is of sharp and lecIsive nature, and at the rapidity with which the engagements are pre- cipitaled and the attendant sanguinary result, the historical combat of the kilkenny cats is being Te-enacted. The conference of the powers has about re- solved that the struggle may proceed without interruption from the outside. I: Is not tempest of much magnitude and to the great nations surrounding the scene of conflict It affords degree ot entertainment scarcely equslled by the most thrilling tragedy ever enacted upOn the boards. So far, victory has favored the Servian army, and their successes inspire them with degree of enthusiasm that lends strength 10 their cause with corresponding fear of defeat b. the BulgaTians.
