A SICKLY INFANT.
A Few of the Infirm Points of
 the Proposed Miles County.

So much has been said regarding the great wealth of the new county o Miles that it has interested one of oul well known citizens to get at the ex' act figures. These points are taken from the tax roll and from the tally sheets as returned from the precincts in the proposed new county, and are not guess work, as the glaring mis- statements of county divisionists are.
 The tax-roll of the town of Wilcox shows total assessed valuation of $5l, ,l53. The tax levy on same is $14O2.
 Wilcox school district receives from the county over $1200 per annum.
 The tax-roll shows the proposed county of Miles to have an assessed valuation of $230,07O in property be- longing to individuals and an assessed valuation of seventy-four miles of railroad at $5lS,OCO.
 Total valuation of the proposed county of Miles in Cochise, $754 ,O7O.
 A Liberal estimate of the valuation of Miles county in Graham, according to their own statement, is $200, 900, or a total of $954,07O.
 The Stockman in the argument for county division places the valuation at $2,OOO, 900, while the facts show less than half that.
 VOTERS.
 The Stockman says that there were 400 votes cast there last November, while the tally-sheets at the court house in this city show but 246 cast in the Miles county part of Cochise. The returns from the Miles county part of Graham shows 122 votes cast there, or a total vote of 368.
 The total vote of Cochise was 1404 and of Graham sos; total for both counties, 2312.
 The Wilcox interests, it will be seen, wish to get away with one.quarter of the taxable property and one-sixth of the voters.

REV. L. H. YoUNGMAN.-
His Diagnosis of .vvhat Ais
Our Young Mem"
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

a fair-sized audience assembled at
the M. E. church last evening to hear
the above subject discussed by Rev. Mr..
9oungman, of Woonsocket. and if the
reporter gathered correctly one of the
central ideas advanced. the chief ailment
OF our young America is that he is too
much like his father. The big-head. a
thing like God-no respecter of persons,
was very prevalent ailment. But this
feature of our makeup was in keeping
with the general run of big things in
Anerica-big rivers, big towns, big
trusts and frequently big frauds. This
ailment did not affect all alike. 1t is
often matter OF vision. Some of us
see things double: others not all. One
general characteristic of young men
was the readiness to deny that there
was anything at all the matter with
them. The disease was moral one
and affected young men worse than
young women. Take two gatherings:
One is moral, intellectual or spiritual
in its tendency and there the ratio of
young women to young men is as four
to one; but gathering opposite in its
tendency is attended by ten young men
to one young woman. He thought the sec
ular editor took special delight in point
ing out the downfall of Sunday School
man or minister. This very thing is a
recognition of the fact of the church be-
ing at the head of moral and spiritual
reform.
Education has much to do with the
fact of young men going down in larger
numbers than young women-not espec-
tally school training, but that influence
which goes out imperceptibly around
us. This result was more traceable to
the father than the mother. 1t was a
terrible impeachment of the father if
his boys were bad. Secret societies
were organized without number osten-
sibly to help young men, and few to
help young women. Yet the propor-
ton of fallen young men to fallen young
women remained the same. His criti-
cism of the secret orders was rather
severe. questioning as he did their
claims of charitable purpose. He
wanted to say to them: Glands off.
Let our young men alone"
