1.-THE Smile Of the Un-
dNrtaker is Abroad
In the Land. "

These are the words prominent merchant
used in addressing well-known underta-
ker yesterday on our public streets He
smiled confidentially ON the undertaken,
AS if HE had said something great.
The undertaken looked at him with as
constituent. If he had been struck by u
western cyclon" he could not be more sur
nrised. We vii. not mention the mer-
chants name, as l. might iniure his bust
ness; and perhaps he spoke without think
ing. But the undertaken felt that he was
a cynical wretch of the finest quality. To
look into the eyes of this cynical creature
one would imagine that the unfortunate
undertaken was responsible to some ex.
tent. for the number of deaths that occur
red.
Perhaps the public is not aware that the
undertaken is debarred from visiting some
personal friends who are sick, and whom
he would like to see, on account of such
cynical remarks as the one referred to
above.
Occasionally we see a doctor attending a
funeral. We have heard people say more
than once that the doctor in question was
the cause of the death of the deceased,
when all sensible people will acknowl-
edge that the doctor would have saved
his patient if he could, if for no other
reason than to save his own reputation.
All some people talk strangely in this
world

BEHRiNG SEA CONTROVERSY.

After long and weary negotiations the controversy between the United States and Great Britain about the jurisdic- ton oyer the waters of Behring Sea seem to be drawing to a close.
 After the political sky rockets have been fired of and the farce of "54 40 or a fight" is played for the amusement of the people John Bull and Uncle Sam will sit down to a comfortable diploma tic dinner with plenty of wine, and say with Pack "what fools these mortals be-"
 When Russia owned Alaska and the Alleutian islands that autocratic power claimed jurisdiction over the Pacific ocean from headland to headland in excess of all the rules O: international law.
 As far back as the administration of John Quincy Adams the United States joined England in vigorous protest against the assumption of Rus sia.
 By that i'll defined statue called by courtesy international law a nation has jurisdiction over the adjoining sea a marine league, that is, as far as it can shoot.
 In the improvement of modern artil | lery the distance may reasonably be in- creased as l have seen the British ar | tillery at the mouth of the Thames hit a target 14 miles.
 In making the purchase for s7, 200, ,000 we of course took it at that Russia chose to put in the deed as at that time we were on friendly terms and Mir. Se- ward was too wise man to refuse any thing that would enable us to ''sand- wich" England on the Pacific ocean, and Russia virtually gave us Alaska for that very purpose; just as Napoleon virtually gave us Louisiana. But the Russian government without any artillery to cope with the British as lar as heard from in the last trial in the i Black sea, claimed the jurisdiction of q large part of the Pacific ocean by ukase of the czar; not by artillery. When the Emperor Alexander in 1868, told the Russian minister in Washing ton to offer the Russian American pos sessions in America to the United States for nominal sum, he paid us the same compliment that Napoleon did when he gave us the southwest and the northwest.
 Whatever Russia may have put in the tftdbN anu luC OittCu DtutCo nave accepted il is well settled principle of law that no man can sell what does not belong to him, and that such sale is void.
 We own the land from the southern cape of Florida to the mouth of the Rio Grande; but to draw line from head land to headland in the Gulf of Mexico and claim marine jurisdiction would make us rediculous among nations.
 The sooner John Bull and Uncle Sam quit skylarking about the jurisdiction over Behring sea, make up, kiss and have grand dinner the sooner the great commerce across the Atlantic ocean which is the true bond between the two nations will be enlarged and the petty politicians who have kept the Behring sea teapot boiling like Russian Sam ovar or can retire on the laurels they have won, which can easily be carried by an Arizona burro. 7, D.

Dr. Baker Acquitted.

ABINGDON, Va., March 12.-The Ba- ker trial is over and the doctor Is again as free as the birds. Four hours were consumed in argument today. The case was given to the jury at noon. The echoes of Commonwealth Attorney Hutton's speech had hardly died away when Judge Ward said: 'Let the jury go to their room." The crowd in the court room remained, but not quiet, while the jury was out for deliberation. The prisoner was in conversation with his brother and two or three other gen tleman. Once or twice he smiled pleasantly. In front of him was chair on which he languidly rested his legs. An uGconcerned look over the room now and then conveyed an impression that he was perfectly easy as to the yer dict of the jury. Groups of people sat and stood here and there speculating on the result. Just twenty minutes had expired when Jailer Clarke entered the room and informed the judge that the jury had not agreed, but wanted to come in. The audience did not know what this early return meant, but, of course, was on tiptoe of expectation. The counsel were out of their seats and some moments were lost in calling them in. No sooner were the passages cleared than they were filled again with more eager spectators than before. Have you agreed on the verdict?" "We have not" was the response. The judge instructed that they be escorted to their room again, and court took recess of one hour. At :l5 the court reconyened. The room was crowded to sutfocation. The jury was in consulta- tion from noon till 3:45 p. m., when they entered the court room. Baker was in his place, as quiet and calm as before. The foreman of the jury said: "We render verdict of not guilty" At this moment it seemed as if every man of the 800 in the court room was his friend, for the mighty yell that went up fairly shook the building. For some moments confusion reigned su- preme. Scores of people rushed to the gray-haired prisoner and grasped his hand.

TnAT TIsA pitiful story that comes of the suicide of Frank Van Xandt. He was gallant, game man. He met the lady who is now his widow on the cars. She was very wealthy English lady of a high family. She became infatuated with him. They were married, and he spent her money with cheerfulness which excited the admiration of his friends. He bought valuable mine in Montana he tossed his money here and there. His investments did not all go right, and the probability is that he woke up some morning to find that he had spent q large proportion of his wife's fortune and was not in condi- ton to repair the injury; and so con- cludingthat his head was out of fix, he blew it otf--at least, the top of it. It is a pitiful case, pltiful for him, exceed ingly sorrowful for the poor widow who was fond of him beyond what most wo- men are of those vagabonds that are called husbands.

DIVORCE SCANDALS.

Many and impotent have been the suggestions offered as to the framing of national divorce laws by which scan- dals may be minimized. For a nation protesting to be guided by Christianity this country presents n sorry spectacle. The church solemny upholds tine sanc' tity of marriage. The people vigor- ously denounce the infringement of laws made for the preservation of social purity. It has nevertheless become the common practice of those representing what is termed the highest social posi- ton to ignore statute law and moral code in dealing with the question of divorce. If bonds made in New En- gland or New York bear too heavily on citizens of those states they lose no so- cial standing by fraudulent pretense of changed residence that in another state freedom may be found and new ties be formed for other crimes to break.
 Nor is the responsibility for this hap pening to be laid at the door of active participants in the fraudulent divorces
  sentiment made the same demand for the sanctIty of the marriage contract as of those pertaining merely to financial affairs, there would be less seeking of residence in Dakota by persons who would not live m the state were it is given them as a bounty. And it is time for public denunciation of this shallow pretense of changed residence, made for the purpose of avoiding the laws of older states. Citizens of New York who visit Chicago with intent of gaining a nominal residence'fo for the mere purpose of avoiding the laws of the state iD which they have lived under a marriage contract should be held by their act un- worthy of countenance by honorable men and women. 1t is unthinkingly claimed that circumstances may arise in which one party to the marriage agreement may be warranted in viola ting the law for the protection of inno- cent offspring. The iallacy lies in the fact that in every state such exingen- cies are met by the law more promptly than by illegal action. There is no tate in the union where children may be en- dangered through the act of either pa rent without prompt protection of the law.
 Whatever may be the conclusions of sentimentalists, there are certain smle rules that may be observed by those appealed to for sympathy by runaway husbands or wives claiming to have

lT DOESN'T FOLLOW because man is not in his right mind that he is not ca pablo of making money. At least, that is the testimony of an eminent expert in insanity who testified in the Field case in New York the other day. This expert told of patient of his who had made something like a million dol lars during the past twelve years, dur iug which time he had undoubtedly been insane. This appears not to have been an exceptional case, either, as this doctor informed the jury that he had known great many lunatics who were still in active business, and who had been marvelously successful finan- cially. Such testimony is calculated to excite incredulity, but, as it comes from an expert, we suppose it will have to be taken for gospel truth.

broken their marriage contract because of injury or disappointing partners. The flight of bankrupt is accepted as a confession of guilt. The flight of a husband or wife, or the attempted kid- naping of children from the protection of the state in which their parents have a residence and to whose laws they owe obedience, is of itself proof of criminal intent. This may not suit the impulse of persons accustomed to heed the promptings of an unreglated heart, but it will secure substantial justice to all parties, and in many instances save scandals which must follow connivances with unlawful breach of contracts held sacred by the better classes of every community.

IRRIGATION is an economic question, and not political problem. It may have an effect upon politics through the reclamation of the arid lands and con sequent growth of the arid states in population and wealth, but by itself it never can be party issue. It appeals to congress and the legislatures for laws that will place the land and water in reach of all alike, and thus develop the country in a manner satisfactorily to the people at large.

ever been. Arizona will someday be famous among other things, for its beautiful sunsets and moonlight nights. The charming fragrance of the flowers the cypress iringed shores of the lakes, sivered by the moonlight, and the evening breezes from over the water, has made the ancient city of Montezuma as famous as Rome for it's beauty. Rome does not excel it even in the an tiquity of it's ruins, and around the an- cient Pueblo mystery has thrown her mantle, and even the civilization of Egypt has no more charms for the an- tiquarian. Arizona too has her ruins, and as beautiful 8 climate as can pos sibly be in Italy.
 These evenings bring back 80 much There is nothing so elevating as a stroll alone in the starlight, and recounting of youthful scenes. It may be unpleas ant, and may make one sad to travel in memory over the road that we have left so long; but 1t makes one better and every beautiful. thing Is sad. The very essence of beauty is sadness, and sad ness too, is ennobling. Thatre collection is ours alone, and it is too holy to share with our associates. l do not know ii language will express this feeling that is caused by recollection of childhood scenes and the absolutely pure part of life's experience. One thing do know, is that we would not do it if we were able. In the hour of pleasure, memory is hidden and when a shade of sadness chases the ringing laughter like sum- mer cloud, the sunshine, it is but the peering, prying ghost of what has been
 of what might have been-Memory. The past brings up not only it's actuali- ties, not only it's events and memories, but-stranger still-what might have been. Every little circumstance which dawns on the awakened memory, is traced not only to it's actual but to its possible issues. What wide world that makes of the Pasta great and gorgeous, rich and solemn world ! Your fancy fills it up artist like; the darkness is mellowed off into soft shades the bright spots are yelled in the sweet atmosphere of distance; and fancy and memory together make up a rich dreamland of the Past.
