TIE one great central idea of James e.

THE one great central idea of James c. Blaine, of a Iiahn-Americm Alliance, is the crowning glory of the brilliant career of that incompatible statesman. To this end must come the progress of the new world and there exists no more capable individual to bring about Pan n-American confederation than the uncrowned king of America-the plumed knight whose statesmanship is in advance of the fore most ideas of the world. His instrumen- tality in bringing about this notable con federation is an ambition worthy of the man and the opportunity and if his claims to high position upon the scroll of fame rests upon the achievement of this great end, his name will go down to his tory among the immortal few of destiny, America as common country in which the sublime principles of freedom find their most liberal interpretation, and the great brotherhood of mankind achieve the most lofty impulses of humanity, is q grand contemplation, and the great mediator who spreads the cohesive ele- ments of this international amalgamation cannot fail to find in the hearts of his eountrymen undying fame and honor The whole world is progressing so rap idly that among the minds of men therc are few indeed broad enough to grasp the scope of the destiny of the new world as laid down uponjthe great architect. trestle- board by the Masters hand. and though men may follow in the footsteps of the great leader and perfect the plans conceived of almost divine inspiration the honor of the original conception will be accorded to the one who laid the foun dation of the most magnificent national superstructure of the whole world, far be yond the ephemeral glory of the chie magistracy of our own incomparable re public. There can be no partisan envy or jealousy in this great work. 1t is the pride of every loyal American heart ana it merits the earnest sympathy and co operation of every patriotic citizen of the Western Hemisphere.

HOME rule is humbug when the people have no voice in determining the selection of their servants. The mere fact that ap- pointments are made from among the resi- dents of our Territory is but half a step towards home rule, for they are governed entirely by political. favor.

THE recent reports of a large number of hostile Apaches having left the reserva- ton upon another raid, we have good req son to believe are without foundation. Such body would surely have commit ted many depredations long before this and troops would have been dispatched after them. There are no indications of more than two or three renegades being out, and these will doubtless be hunted down and secured in very short time.

An Editorial Change.

Last Mondays Citizen announces a charge in the editorial management of that paper, w. l.. Vail, until recently the publisher of a paper at Pasadena, California, being the new man at the helm. In announcing the change the Citizen takes occasion to speak as fol lows:
 "The editorial management of the Citi- Zen with this issue passes into the hands of MT. w. l.. Vail an experienced news paper man, who Is abundantly able to maintain the high character of this jour nal, both as a newspaper and an exponent of those principles dear to the heart of every true Republican.
 Mr Herbert Brown at the earnest re- quest of the Citizen Publishing Company. will for the present remain ill charge of the business department of the paper, but Mir Vail will be wholly responsible for the editorial conduct for the future pol icy of the paper.
 For the past six years Herbert Brown has had the sole conduct of the Citizen and its business and editorial policy dur ing that time were directed by him alone. To him is also due the fact that the Citi- zen has been recognized as the leading Republican paper in Arizona, and an authority upon all matters pertaining to party policy in the Territory.
 In vacating the editorial chair ill favor I of Mir. Vail 1t is with the assurance that the same loyalty to the principles of the great Republican party will be maintain ed in the future as in the past and by giv- ing 1t his undivided attention he will raise it to q higher standard of usefulness and win laurels for himself and the paper in the coming campaign"

tire stage with all that belongs to it,
including costumes of every possible

invited to the photographic specta-

with more than princely liberality.
Although Mr.. S. could never set foot

The Miracle Gun,

The German press is discussing at
length the merits of a new French
repeating air rifle called the miracle
gum" The rife was invented by NJ.
Paul Giffard in Paris, the original
protector of the Partisan pneumatic
post. 1t is described thus: "The
weapon is light, much lighter than
any of the army rifles now in use. 1t
resembles the magazine gun in that
steel cartridge about a span and a
half long and as thick as man s
thumb is attached to the one barrel
by means of a screw. This cartridge
contains 300 shots, which can be dis
charged as rapidly or slowly as q
man desires. Since neither powder
or any other explosive, but only
compressed and liquified air, supplies
the expelling force, no smoke and no
flash accompany the discharge. Only
a short, sharp, low report is heard
as the ball leaves the cartridge. At
the recent trial the ball Travelled with
wonderful accuracy and penetrated
deep into the wall of the shooting
room. As soon as one cartridge is
emptied of it's 300 shots, another
cartridge can be screwd on the gun
in the twinkling of an eye. NJ. Gift
fard saws that the 800 shots in a
cartridge can be produced at a cost
OF about 25cents. The gun itself can
be manufactured for about So"

Tears were in her heart,
Thinking of the swift time coming
When they two must part.
Soon the shadow fell between them,
Soon the years flew by;
He has left his little mother,
Left her-perhaps to die.
All the laughter gone forever
All the sunshine fled;
Only little mother praying I
BY his empty bed.
Then there came dreadful battle,
And upon the plain
Crept the little mother, see king
Some one mid the slain.
But she never found her darling
In the white moon CLEAN,
For the little cannon firing
Woke her from her dream.
