Art. 1867 of Sec. $50, Jumbo Platform.
This is about as clear as mud. The
reader is left in ~tantalizing doubt asto who
"r what was threatened with all the hor.
rcrs OF war"h the prisoner was not re-
leased. One construction OF the clause
points to san American citizen" as the one
threatened; another to "the laws OF a sis
ter republic" and still another to the
limited States" or "a culprit that wal
threatened with all the horrors of war if it
did not instantly release the prisoner"
Again it doesn't name the sister republic or
the culprit to which or whom reference is
made. II 1t means anything at all. it
means a sort OF read-as-you-please-and-
take-your-choice way Of stating a very
grave case OF misunderstanding be-

people OF the Territory to draw such in

words and phrases which means much or

II the article means that Cutting was

Republican Territorial Convention for
which there cal be no excuse. If it means
that the United States Government made
a demand upon Mexico for Cutting, accom-

power did not instantly release the pris-

cusabls ignorance. If the article means
neither OF the above it means nothing and
should have been cut out OF the rest OF the
rubbish with which this rotten platform is
s~ncumbered.

Chinese speeches, his connection with the
Timberlins troubles and his ssrvitude to
the Northern Pacific Company. the most
powerful corporation in Montana, all
unite in making him an object OF distrust
and distaste to the workingmen and farm

the Territory were sick Of Sanders before
his nomination, they are sick OF him now

erties-the George and Washington-wkich
they are now developing with fattering
results. A shaft forty-two feet in depth
has been sunk on the line between the two
claims in which good ore has been struck
and shipments are now being made to the
Lexington and to the Pueblo sampling
works. Returns from a recent shipment
gave 900 ounces to the ton. The company
has eight men employed on the property,
and under the superintency OF MIR. Neal
work is being vigorously prosecuted. The
developments thus far are certainly OF u
most encouraging character.

A Boy RIM Over.

Monday evening about 4:3O p. M. little
Johnnie Moore, who is about = years OF
age. was stealing rides on the numerous
wood wagons that are constantly passing
up and down in front OF his parents resi-.
dence IN Arizona street GEAR the Hall
Way House. The story as told by little
Johnnie is as follows:
II was getting somegood rides hanging on
behind the wagons going up and down the
road, so l thought l would jump on the
big brake beam and steal a ride, which l
did, and when l went to get off, slipped and
fell, when the wheel went over my poor leg.
Oh, but it hurts So"
The little sufferer is being tenderly cared
for by the mother. DR.. Johnston was sum-
moned and set the limb and made the little
fellow comfortable. Some OF the teamsters
who have occasion to be passing up and
Arizona street, in going to and from
the depot, say it is wonderland more chill
dren have not been killed or hurt in the past.
As a general thing they can't be watching the
all the time, for they do not desire
to use their whip on the children who are |
constantly hanging on the wagons.

THERE is an impressive lesson in the
Kansas City disaster. We are told that
about half past 10 in the morning omi>
nous storm clouds began gathering, and
that the storm struck the city in full
force about twenty minutes past IL. Me-
teorological conditions over the country
had been for several days very favora
BILE for the production of these atmoS
pheric disturbances and DESTRUCTIVE g
wind whirls. Cyelonic weather had pre-
vailed, and still prevails, and in the heat
and sultriness developed by that type
of weather there is always danger to be
apprehended. In this section of country
we have had bursts of heat, eliminating
in gusts of wind, dashing rains, and a
chain of more or less violent thunder
storms, all helping to make up season
that will long be remembered.
But further west and southwest, nearer
the center of the cyclonic system that
has been wedged and hemmed in. the
strife of the elements was more likely to
break out with more serious results.
There should be more intelligence on
this subject. While it is not yet possible
to point out just where the tornado may
strike, it is possible from the fatal heat,
the oppressive sultriness, the unnatural
stiffness and the general COL ditions en-
vironiHg US to anticipate its occurrence.
In the interval between the first indica-
tions of the impending storm. and the
striking of the storm in all its fury at
Kansas City, may there not have been
sufficient time to remove the children.
Notwithstanding the gathering darkness
and drenching rain, from a building
surmounted by tower which for some
time had been considered insecure? That
tower chanced to be in line with the
terrible vortex, and even If of the stanch-
est character might have been unable to
Withstand the disintegrating force of the
tornado. But the fact is conceded that
it was considered insecure, and for the
second time had been condemned within
few weeks of the disaster. The de-
molished structure used as a court house
was another instance of confessedly
insecure building succumbing to the
force and power of the tornado. Perhaps
we shall find some day that solidly and
properly constructed buildings will have
a reasonable chance against these now
terrifying whirls, and that the tornado,
robbed of much nf its terror, is like the
ordinary wind, rain and thunder storms
one of natures most beneficent agencies.
