The Stage Held Up.

The down stage t1 Casa Grsnde on Thursday afternoon was held up at the dry lake, at the same point it was robbed about a month ago. by two Mexicsns and probably the same parties engaged in the previous robbery. They took watch from the driver, Nelson Csplett, and also some cash and a lot of checks from A, \. Donau, the representative of l., Zeckendorf < Co, of Tucson; the ex- press box and four sacks of mail, The men were not disguised and could talk the English lang Iage tiuI ntly. So soon as the Rtsge reached Casa Grande the driver teleRrsphed back to Florence the facts and Undsr-Sheriff Hinson Thomas, acting in The absence of Sheriff Fryer, immediately deputized George R. Morse and W. P. Bnmrick and provided them with money for the purpose of hiring several Indian trailers to hunt the rob bers down. Up to the time of going to press nothing has been heard of thIs party.
 A party of four also left Casa Grsnde and yesterday morning two of them re- turned to that place with the empty mail sacks and express box which they found sbolt half mile from the scene of the robbery, the others took up the trail and will follow it, The rob CTS took all the letters with them and have probably gone to some safe retreat to examine them for money st their leisure.
 ANOTHER HOLD UP.
 Shortly after noon yesterday, Dr. J, M. Hurley, of San Bernardino, was held up at Oneida station, two miles be- low the Halfway House, while going to Casa Grsnde. by a masked highwayman, and was robbed of $50 and his gold watch. the latter being subsequently re- turned 10 him. He was held 6 prisoner until the down stage from Florence ar rived. In the meantime E. A. Sake came along and was treated in a like manne'. Finally the stage drove up and was stop ped and the express treasure box and iour sacks of mail weri taken, The sacks were ripped open and the mail rsn-sacked for monsy, after which the robber made Dr. Hurley gather up the debris, put it into the sacks again and throw them into the stage, when he started them all on their journey, The robber was about feet 9 inches Tn night: wore black pants and vest and blue shirt. and where the mask failed to cover his neck the skin indicated a dark complexion. Fe rode bay horse with black msne and tail. He talked glibly peared to be an American. As soon as the news was received in Florence Un- der Sheriff Thomas started Messrs J. P, Gabriel and ]. D. Thomas Co the scene of the robbery, with instructions to make a capture if possible. The rain of last night has, however, likely obliterat- ed the trsil and the chances for the es- cape of the robber are greatly enhanced thereby.

The Paonla in n ornud.

The number of people who can estimate the number of people in a crowd is very ErnalL Til the amphithestre at the Fair Grounds to its capacity, and half dozen men VIII ssti- mats the number at all the way from 30, 900 to 100000. The tendency is always to ex- aggsrate. The fact is that, allowing IS inches fpSos for each psrson, and occupy every Available inch of it and not so exceed IS, 900 people could be accommodated, while, ss a matter of fact, not moro than 1900 people could be crowded th with any approach to Comfort
 Old soldiers who have bad opportunities to judge of the amount of ground covered by q siven number of soldiers, are equally at fault The same tendency to exaggerste Is shown in the estimation of the number of men in Q marching body. You will read that pro csssion was four hours passing given point, and that there were 50 900 men in line. That is all nonsense. Fifty thousand, men could not,pass a given point on paved streets in ten hours. It must be remembered that two and @ halt miles an hour l unususlly good time for the movement of . column.

OUR POSITION.

ON the 18th Cf October last, the CITI- ZEN entered its 18th annual volume. During the two decades of its existence it has recorded many changes m this far south west, some of which were for the better and others for the worse. H has reioiced when the people re!oiced and mourned when they mourned' Within its pages may be found the checkered life of the territory, her suo- cesses and defeats. It has seen her grow step by step, and even under the very shadow of the fierce Apsche's knife, increase in population and wealth. Her mineral discoveries have been made known, her agricultural wealth developed, and cattle multiply on her thousand hills. Towns have sprung up, scLoo,s have been established and civilization dwell where the wild Ind ian and beast roamed at will but few short years ago. In all these years the CITIZEN has followed the one consistent course of legitimate journalism. lt has labored in the public vinysrd for the common good and has been rewarded il not in wealth with the confidence end respect of the entire community. II WAS born in Republicsnism and from its first issue has consistently kept the faith, Its founder WAS John WBssonr st that time surveyor general of the territory. Since then no one even re- naotely connected with 1t, has ever held Federal office. We believe however as the leading Republican paper In the territory, that We have the right to be heard in the distribution of Federal patronage for the public good, and It if m this belief and in this cause We urge the name of Col. Lewis Wolhey fol governor. We have no word to utter against any one of the several gentle men, candidates for this office, ss sever al of tbem We know to be good men, but Ool. Wolfey is our choice and If left to a popular vote of the people, We be- Iieve be would be their choice also. he did not seek the office voluntarily but has at the urgent solicitation of others finally consented to make the struggle for i.. Elsewhere in this issue, will be found his public announcement of thi; fact

NEW BASE BALL RULES.
Items of Interest to Local Opponents
 of the National Game.
NFX YoRK. Nov. 20

NEW YORK, Nov, 20.
 The Joint Rules Committee of the Baseball Clubs has completed the larg- est part of its work. An Endesvor was made by few delegates to reintroduce the high and low ball system, but the majority were against the idea and voted It down. The pitcher will Je compelled 10 put the ball over the home-plste or have ball called on him. One of the most important subjects discussed was he position of the pitcher. During the past season some of the players con- plained that thA pitcher was not far enough away from the bstsman. and thsi s position three or four feet back would be more suitable. A motion to that eff. feet was voted dowL' Since it was deci- ded that an umpire should stand behind the pitcher he has interfered with rather than help the batsman. When the bats. man has fair ball, sending 1t over the pitchers head and hitting the umpire, he has no sllowence and is compelled to run. The pitcher has only to stoop and pick up the ball ID order to throw him out st first. To remedy this the com mittee has decided that a struck ball constitute a base bit and gives the bstsmsn base when he hits the umpire In order to imp ove the order of pitch. ing the commi zee has reduced balls to four for next season. The three strikes remain as usual. The rule regarding foul tips has been abOlist ed and here after a man will be Rllowded to run or them.

The school of the Future.

Referring to English progress in sduca- tional methods, or rather the power of tradi- tion to prevent progress, brings out the marked contrast with our own country, where the power of tradition is at its mini mum. The ideal school of the future, now clearly conceived by our best educators, i' one that shall educate the whole beingI in- tellect, morals and physical powers having proportional share fin the care and discipline of the masters. It is not enough to thrust religious teachings out; moral teaching mus, come in Nor Is 1t enough to build gymnasi- ums for sport; there must be systematic cult urs of the whole body on physiological prin- ciplss. Manual training is Gn admirable supplement- to mental training, but the ideal school is that one which provides for the whole person that which trains him as unit. Professor Woodward states the defect of our system when be says, "There is a wide con. vfction of the inutility of schooling beyond the primary grades. ."-Globe-Democrat.

TOMORROW being the day upon which their two Excellencies, President Cleve- land and Governor Zulick. have sci aside for thanksgiving, there will be no paper issued from tbis office. The CITIZEN in common with all other busi- ness houses will properly observe the day, which for over two hundred and fifty years has been set aside and re- vsrentislly held to thank the Giver of all good for His kindness and liberstsly during the past year. As a rule Repub- lican newspaper men sre not over relig- ious but when it comes to thanksgiving day and turkey for dinner, they can hold down their end of the rail with the most devout Democratic editor going. As we before remarked the CITIZEN will not be issued tomorrow. We are going to stay home and eat turkey.
