THERE is philosophy teaching by ex- ample. "Dare to do." That is the ultimatum in all theoretical calculation involving the possibility of valuable consideration. It is something practical, expedient and conclusive. It is suiting the action to the word, and thereby results follow which can be realized in no other way. "Dare to do." Act up to the requirements of the situation. Do not stop to whistle away the time in vain and aimless speculation, but shoulder the responsibility at once and march up to the line of action with fixed deter imitation to secure the prize, whatever it may be. Away with that snivelng, whifiling sort of policy which bodes no good when "bread and butter are at stake." Remember that any good, honest business, in any contingency, is noble and praiseworthy i; far nobler than to sit down and whine and snarl at fate. While fortune may favor, it does not control events or direct the men of mind who break down obstacles and plant the flag of victory The consciousness of strength lies in the trial of the arm that lays low the ob structions that crowd the path over which we travel. Once used, we know it's power. We measure it's full strength and confidently march on to repeat it's strokes. We become satisfied there is something to achieve. We believe in it's possibility and put our hand to the wheel, well assured of it's accomplish ment. Genius is a very good thing to work on, but it must be directed by in- telligence and good sense in order to advance and master the situation. Alone and unhelped it would waste it's sweetness on the desert air, but har- messed to the latter, it may give hope to destiny and become the savior of the world.

CHRIsTMAs-Tlpg BACK IN THE STATES.
A PRospeoToR's RETROSPECT.
WRITTEN FOR THE REPUBLICAN. l

guess that you wouldn't remember, old man that tomorrow will be The twenty-ffth day of December, If the idea hadn't struck me. But then when fellows prospecting It's hard to keep track of the dates There wasn't much chance of neglecting A Chrstmas-day Back in the States. No, partner we can't take day off For Christmas this time; to be frank Our water-supply, if we lay off, Won't last till we get to the tank. But tonight we will put in at sorting Old ore from the dump in our pates; With fumes of tobacco exorting A Christmas tide Back in the States. This green palo verde limb, smold ring, Will be the big fire place we piled With back logs and chunks, till the old thing Would make q volcano seem mild. And in it we'll trace out the faces Of wraiths that the fre-glow creates; "ghost-dance" of people and places, From Christmas tide Back in the States. There, strong in the midst of it burning, One figure unchanging appears man without shadow of turning, Whose friendship endured through the years And there the dark eyes of another Are lit with the love light that waits To welcome wandering brother, At Christmas tide Back in the states. One wrath in the crowd that is docking, Eludes me, yet haunts me-ah now Its face, haliloving, alf-mocking, Smiles under a mistletoe bough Is it the ghost of dream Ely sian, Now caught, now lost, as the flame gyrates Lips meeting to kiss in ileeting vision Of Christmas-tide Back in the States

PRESIDENT HARRISON is ever careful and usually right in his exercise of that great weapon of the Executive, the veto power, though from interested mo- tives, perhaps from better knowledge of the subject under discussion, the gen. eral public may sometimes feel aggrieved at it's exercise. His latest veto, that of an appropriation for a grand postoihce building for Bar Harbor, Maine, though perhaps upon an unimportant subject, nevertheless well displays the we'll balanced judgment of the President. He never sends veto message without clearly explaining his reasons, and this last is no exception. Read it.

TIE REPUBLICAN's news columns this morning contain an interview with Gen eral Manager Masten, of the Maricopa X Phoenix Railroad, which will be read with interest and deeply reflected upon by all citizens of this and Yavapai County. In it Mir. Masten plainly states that his company proposes within sixty days to inaugurate work upon an extension of their present line, by "the shortest practicable route," to connec- tion with the Atlantic x Pacific; whether to Prescott or not is not stated. The only subsidy asked is that the new road be exempted from taxation for the period of five years. Railroads are ever welcome, and it is to be hoped that the plans spoken of by MT. Masten are such as to ensure the building of the line. While road upon the direct northern route indicated would be profitable to its management it would also be of much benefit to the Territory, from the facility of transportation it would furnish between the agricultural and mining regions. As between this projected road and those of Reynolds and Bullock, a comparison should not hastily be undertaken. All the schemes are but in embryo, and the fact is patent, despite whatever arguments may be had upon the subject, that the first road to build will be the road that will find the most favor in the eyes of the people of this valley.

EASTERN papers say: Mrs. Cleve- land is crazy over Wagner and the imi- tators of the great master, like Eau chetti and Goldmack, therefore she is seen at operas two or three times a week." and the knave further says naively that "Mr. Cleveland sometimes accompanies his wife, but to him Wag- ner's music is as tinkling cymbal and sounding brass" which makes us like Mir. Cleveland better than we ever did before. And that is the only weak thing We ever heard about Mrs. Cleve- land, because Wagner's music certainly is something like olives-if anyone likes it, it must be an acquired taste.

"IT's oDD," said man in restaurant to me the other day, who sat slipping a rum punch, "how one will acquire sudden desire for something, just by hearing it mentioned or by some associ- ation of ideas which flash into ones mind. Ipicked up volume of rhackery today and happened to turn to page wherein Thackery has rum punch made. don't think that 1 have tasted rum punch before in months, but as began to read the fragrance of rum stole into my nostrils. It tickled my palate and made my lips feel fresh and sweet. l tasted that punch just as much as if l had been drinking it instead of reading about it. l have had a hankering all day for rum punch and l dropped in here just now to have one-with Thack- cry, you might say--and Eve had good deal of pleasure in drinking it."

l HAVE been watching, with a great deal of interest, the struggle in Ireland, and do you know Parnell's tour over the struggling little island has impressed me more firmly than ever that the world loves man with sand. If he bravely goes into conflict and faces the music they will freely forgive his peccadilloes, and even wink at his vices. Parnell, the great Irish champion of home rule, is today such figure of genuine pluck and bravery that he must win even the ad- miration of his opponents, unless it may be one of the small-souled sort, like Timothy Healy, the ingrate, who owes everything to Parnell for his present prominence in Irish affairs. Parnell is making a most gallant fight, and is practically making it single-handed. That he will win seems extremely doubt ful, but, win or lose, he cuts a splendid figure of intrepidity and sand that is ab- solutely refreshing. He is such a specl- men of courage that he wins our admir- ation, even though we may not pardon his transgressions.

HARRY CARPENTER was telling me an Indian story the other day that well illustrates one of the peculiarities of the Indian character. Nearly all your read CTS will remember of the sentencing to Yuma about two months ago of the Apache braves who murdered Ed. Baker in the Sierra Ancha mountains last July. About two weeks ago three Apache bucks, with passes from the commanding officer at the reservation, arrived in Yuma. They made their way to the prison, and by signs made known to Captain Ingalls, that they wanted to talk. An interpreter was secured, when it was learned they wanted to visit their imprisoned brethren. They were brought out and conference ensued in Indian style. All seated themselves upon the ground. One would talk awhile, then all would be still long time, when presently another would talk. In this way several hours were spent. Finally all arose and proceeded to Captain Ingalls,, when they made known through the interpreter that they wanted furlough for one of the pris- oners to visit home so he could see his family and have a hunting trip. All three of the visitors offered themselves as hostages for his faithful return, Out the prison rules are memorable and the Captain could not accept their terms. After another conference they sorrow fully left the place.
 There is no question but their pledges would have been faithfully kept, and that after his hunting trip was over the prisoner would have returned to again take up his cell and allow the hostages to go free.

Iristmas comes but once a year,

THAT is the old saw. l have some times thought it was not always a cor rect one, yet if a man but goes about the stores and shops the day before Christmas, or notes the happy faces upon the glad holiday, he can scarce but believe that all he meets are happy.
 
 A CERTAIN young bachelor in town was telling me yesterday about little Christmas gift from home that he par ticularly enjoyed. His dear old mother away back in the East, over 2000 miles away, had sent him box containing a section of homemade Christmas fruit cake and two cans of homemade mince- meat for his Christmas pies. tell you l envied him those mince pies, for they are one of the edibles around restaur- ants or hotels that are not very good Many is the time when boy have re- turned home on cold winter night and exclaiming:
 Breathes there man with soul so dead
 Who not unto himself hath said
 reckon before go to bed
 I'll just eat a quarter section of mince pie.
 And with that proceed to make inroads upon the stock of pies in the pantry.
