Always Carry a Bible,

A clerk in one of the Third street
banks made himself solid with the
president of the bank some wears
ago, probably by accident, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. He lived up
the road and carried good-sized
basket, in which he brought his lunch
in the morning and took out his
marketing and groceries in the even
ing. One day after finishing his lunch
he left his basket on u desk i'm the
bank. The president came along
after awhile and uccidently knocked
it off onto the floor. In the fall the
basket came open and a Bible fell
out. "What IRE you doing with n
Bible in your basket?" asked the
president. II read it every day on
the train going to and from tho
bank answered the clerk. The
president Immediately increased his
salary and told him that his place
was secure SO long us lie remained
president. The president retired sew
eral years ago, but the clerk still
holds his position in the bank.

TIE Southern States, alive to the need of fresh blood and capital, have sent representatives to an immigration con vention at Asheville, N. C., and in that convention much solid work has been done. Extensive advertisement of the different sections of the South repre- sented has been recognized as not only advisable but necessary, and the methods by which such advertising might be accomplished constituted the entire work of the session. It was appreciated that a community that lets its advertisement lapse is much like a merchant in the same postion-ignored and unknown, it drops from public notice. Advertising cars are to be sent on their journeyings, lecturers engaged to speak from Northern rostrums, liter ature and circulars of the most attrac- tive character sent broadcast, that "Dixie Land" may bring to herself a new class with the necessary nerve, en- terprise and capital to develop the many latent or neglected industries of the South. With this example set, surely Arizona can clearly see the trend of the times and how little she can afford tC rehnauish her work of securing addi

TIE continual persecution of the Jews in Russia is receiving the attention of the civilized world as well it should, and meetings have been held in England and America to petition the Czar to pro- tect his Hebrew subjects. To an Amer ican or Englishman this persecution of the Jews in Eastern Europe is ineX- plicable. No set or body of people are more progressive and eDterprisng, more loyal to their country and more fully in sympathy with their country's institu- tions than the Jews of Western Europe and of America. In this country they are prominent in all business and social affairs and earnest workers in all enter prises that tend to upbuild the state. Their persecution m Russa is a relic of the Christianity of the dark ages, which taught that it was right to spurn "a dog of Jew," and is the standing disgrace of nineteenth century civilization. Ii persisted in it may result in worse than protests from the more enlighted and liberal nations of the world.

BETWEEN the United States and Great Britain there is feeling of hostility which, though usually suppressed, Is often apparent. It is mutual feeling, dating back to the wars of '76 and 1872. The conduct of Great Britain during the War of the Rebellion, the presence of the Irish in America and thousand other things have served to keep the fires burning, and the pending fisheries question and Behring Sea dispute are pointing toward possible encounter at arms, when diplomacy shall have ex- hausted it's arts. The latest news is that a British squadron is to be ordered into Behring Sea, body of water claimed as part of the American dominion, to maintain alleged rights of British sealers therein. Such course would be bid ding for war and war would not be un- acceptable to the body of American citi- zenship. The haste in which the Ameri- can navy is being pushed is mainly for the purpose of placing Columbia upon at least par with Brittania upon the high seas, in the event of the long anti cipated conflict coming to pass.

TIE report ol the Territorial Grand Jury yesterday, in which it reported that in the cases of the indictments against Gill it dismissed them all, bears out TIE REPUBLICAN in its statement made immediately after the dismissal of the recent illegal Grand Jury. TIE REPUBLICAN said then that it had no fear whatever of indictments by an honest and legally-selected Grand Jury. By jury that was not stuffed" but honestly drawn and composed of intelli- gent and fair minded men. That such position was correct is proven by the action of the present jury. There is no question but it conside red the charges long and faithfully. In fact it has been asserted that the prosecuting officer was extra oficious in tryineto bring pressure to bear to cause indictments to be found. However that may be TIE REPUBLICAN feels that the Grand Jury did it's whole duty in the case, and if c. Meyer Zulick feels himself offended, he still has re- source to the law, but he can not ride into court at the expense of the taxpay- CTS of the county.

TIE rumor is abroad that President Huntington of the Southern Pacific has determined upon the busting of A. N. Towne as general manager of the as- sociated lines and the substitution of J.. c. Stubbs. It seems almost impossible to think of the great Southern and Central Pacific system without thinking of the man who has been helmsman for so many years and who has so success fully directed the many branches of the railway service, and there are many who would much dislike to note his retirement from the place he has so long and worthily filled.

TIE Reform Club of New York, and other free trade bodies, are not wasting their money in pamphlets and circulars, but are subsidizing newspapers iu Kan sas, Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota, Washing ton and Oregon to spread the free trade gospel. Everywhere they are using their collective and personal influence to get newspaper men tainted with free trade ideas into editorial positions, and never was an unworthy cause more earnestly and energetically pushed on people. It is too weak to win, however. The reac- tion in favor of the Mckinley bill has already set in, and by 1892 it will be overwhelming.

TIE Texas court of appeals has just rendered decision of great importance to the press. In the case of N. Patten vs, A. H.

"If the truth of the charge is established by proof the plaintiff would not be en- titled to recover because he cannot be said to be damaged by the loss of or in- jury to a charactar he did not possess" This doctrine is somewhat new, but eminently sound.
