FALLS INTO TIL: GRAVE AND DIES
Walter H. Fish Found Dead at His
Daughter in-Law's Funeral.

Walter II. FIsh Found Dead at His
Daughter-in-Law's Funeral
ROCHESTER,, Pa, Dec. 2.-There was
the most singular occurrence at the
funeral of Mrs. William Shell in the
Beaver cemetery today. The grave was
dug by Walter w. Fish, stepfather of
the deceased lady. The grave was dug
Yesterday. 1t was necessary, however,
for Fish to go to it today In advance of
the funeral to set the rough box In posi-
tion. Just as the funeral procession
arrived at the cemetery James Brother
ton curiously looked into the grave and
saw MIR. Fish lying in the rough box.
Epon investigation it was discovered
that Fish was dead. Undertaken Reno,
who was on the he arse, was notified and
kept the mourners in the carriages and
in ignorance of what had occurred
Aided by the pall-bearers, Fish's re.
mains were removed from the grave
and taken away. The funeral then pro
ceeded without the wife or family know
ing the fathers fate. Upon their re
turn home they were apprised of the
facts. At the coroner's inquest it wa.
discovered that Flsh's neck was broken
The accepted theory is that Fish stun
oled and fell into the open grave, frac
turing his spinal column. Mr.. Fish wa
60 years old.

MILLIONS OF BOOKS FOUND.

WASHINGTON, November 4. For some
time past the senate has had a special force
of employees examining and counting the
books which are stored away in the base
ment Of the capitol and in rented buildings
Of the government. Their explorations
into the subterrAnean depths Of the capitol
buildings have been almost like journeys
into Darkest Africa. They have found
more than q million books, thousands be-
longing to a number Of senator's running
back as far Rs twenty years.-Press Dis
patch.
These are public documents which
have been printed at the expense Of
the people and should have been dis
tributed. Many of them are of great
value and contain a vast amount of
information not obtainsble elsewhere.
Many of them have undoubtedly been
purposely suppressed because it is
not thought advisable for the people
to receive the information they con.
tain. We know this to be true Of
some of these documents and there is
good reason to believe it true of many
more of them. Applications have
been made to the proper sources, for
certain documents and applicants
have been told that none were to be
had, and yet other applicants have
received them at a later date. Is
there no way that these books can be
brought out and placed in the hands

day, and as sure as the penalty fol-
lows the violation of physical laws, SO
sure will this country be overwhelmed
by a revolution such as the worlds
HISTORY affords no parallel, unless
the people become aroused to the
dangers of the situation, and resolve
to sacrifice party to patriotism, rescue
the public from the hands of msrau-
ders and pirates and restore it to
those upon whom its prosperity and
it's future glory depend. What pro-
portion of the American people are
possessed Of the necessary patriotism
and sctusted by the unselfsh spirit
necessary to accomplish so desirable
q results Is there not q way that
such people, irrespective of all past
party affiliations, can get together for
the salvation of the republic, and the
betterment Of the human conditions
IN this land Of whose history we are
all so proud? Who will furnish the
key to the solution Of this problems
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15
WHTTHER ARE WE TRENpINa2

lionaires of Fifth avenue, New York
have had a force of 500 extra police
men assigned to that aristocrstit
street to guard their persons snd
property. These policemen are said
to have instructions not to make or,
rests, but to shoot down any suspi'
cious characters found trespasslng
upon this sacred thoroughfare.
The president Of the United States
and heads Of departments at the cap
tai of the nation have special police
men assigned for the protection OF
their persons; and the same is said to
be true of certain senators and repre-
sentatives in congress.
Train robberles have become 80
common that many railroad compsn-
les have found it necessary to place
armed guards upon their trains to
protect passengers and property; and
these precautions are not always ef-
fectusl. Robberies of banks and bus
mess houses are on the increase, and
a spirit Of reckless lawlessness seems
to be everywhere abroad in the land.
Crime, insanity and pauperlsm are
increasing, and our jails, penitentiar-
los, insane ssylums and aims houses
are usually filled to their utmost ca
pacity. The statistics upon these
subjects that will appear in the re-
ports Of the Eleventh census will be
startling in the facts which they will
reveal.
A few days ago the country was
startled with the news flashed over
the wires, of the brutal assassination
of the mayor of Chicago. This was
followed by the report that crank
had found his way to the private
office Of Mr.. Gould and demanded of
him a contribution Of $1,000. The
presence of an officer In an adjoining
room, undoubtedly kept thereto guard
against apprehended dangers, pre-
vented any casualty in this instance.
Such occurrences are becoming alto
gether too common, and they should
serve to direct attention beyond the
mere incidents reported by the press
dispatches, and lead to a careful study
Of the influences at work In the de-
velopment of such instruments of
danger to human life. They are the
natural fruitsge Of certain conditions
and influences which must be lnvesti-
gated in a broader spirit than is usu-
ally applied to such Investigations
before q philosophical and effective
remedy can be discovered and applied.
The only safe remedy for such evils
is prevention, and that implies cor
rect knowledge Of causes. Such
knowledge is not acquired by super
fcial study.
Strikes of laboring men are becom-
ing more and more common in every
department Of industry; and not only
more common, but greater in magni-
tude and more serious in their inAu-
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15

Of idlers held ever in readiness to
take the places Of strikers upon any
terms which the naughty spirit of en-
ploYes may impose. There is a
power upon the one hand and abso-
lutte helplessness on the other, that
removes all doubt at the outset OF
the final result of every suoh unequal
contest.
Add to these open manifestations
of discomfort the general spirit Of
unrest and dissatisfaction that per-
vades society everywhere, and we
have a picture of conditions that is
anything but complimentary to our
system of government and to our
boasted civilization. It may be safely
said that at least Is per cent. of the
American people to-day, of every
class and occupation, are conscious
Of the inequalities, not of condition
merely, but of opportunity as well.
Merchants, business and profess
sionsl men, mechanics, farmers and
men of every occupation are con-
scious that something is wrong, and
while there ls not full understand
ing of the character of that wrong,
the consciousness that it exists is re-
sponsible for the discomfort and un-
rest that everywhere pervade society.
Are these things evidences of pros
peritY among the people' Does
prosperity breed this general dis
content? It will not do to say that
it is the result Of agitation by vision
aries, demsgogues and anarchists.
What are the causes that give rise to
agitators? Does the history OF the
world afford an example of any wide
spread agitation that did not arise
from abuses the influences and effects
OF which were thus sought to be over
come? Such an explanation does
not explain; and those who cffer it
are aiding, unconsciously perhaps, III
the perpetuation ofthe influences and
conditions which to-day render life
and property unsafe, and which are
constantly adding to the population
of our penitentisries, insane and i'm
beetle asylums, aims houses and all
charitable institutions, and to the un-
happy list of criminals, crsnks and
trsmps abroad in every part of the
land. And why is all this? Is it be-
cause the spirit of patriotism is dead?
Are the American people sctusted to-
day by more ignoble motives and inn
pulses than in former timesl We
cannot concede this. The whole diff
Guilty, as it appears to u.s. is in the
blind ldolstry of too large a class of
voters to the name of a party. Under
our system Of government we vote
for officers and not for principles;
and the influence of the ambitious
Office seeker is exerted to encourage
the prejudice of the voter in behalf
of the party through which he hopes
to succeed. Suppose we could change
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15


would enter into our elections as it
does to-day? Is it not perfectly ap-
parent that the people, irrespective
of party, would get together and dis
cuss the probable effect Of every pro-
posed law upon their individual and
common interests Would not the
very first effect of such q change be
to draw the people together rather
than to drive them apart by the in
iuence of party strife? What Is it
that causes the division of the people
into political parties to-day? Is it
because of any real difference of in
terest IN the men who compose the
parties? Take three farmers living
upon adjoining farms. One is q re-
publican, one is a democrat, and the
third a Populist. Why? Is it be-
cause legislation which would be a
benefit to one would be a detriment
to the other two who are engaged in
the same occupation and depend
upon the same agencies for success in
llfel Take, again, three merchants,
three mechanics or three day lsborers
similarly located, and divided in like
manner upon strict party lines. Are
they so divided because their inter-
ests are different, and because each
would be really benefited by legisls-
tion that would be prejudicisl to the
interests Of the others? This cannot
be. No one will be foolish enough to
advance so preposterous an idea.
Why is it, then, that these men, liv-
ing thus, side by side, and really hav-
ing common interests, continue year
after year to vote squsrely against
each other at every opportu-
nifty? There can be but one solu-
tion to the problem. Principle is lost
sight of, and the Office and the dear
old party are alone kept in view. It
is thus that designing demsgogues
are enabled to crafty personal ambi-
ton, and grow fat at the expense of
the public, while the measures which
would really serve the interests of all
the people are lost sight of IN the
scramble, and laws legalizing piracy
and plunder find their way upon our
statute books through the influence
of intrigue and fraud.
What is the remedy for all the
evils above referred to? As before
intimsted, could the officers and the
parties be subordinsted to principles
and measures, and could the minds
of the people be directed to the latter
rather than the former, the road
would be clear; but how is this to be
accomplished? If we had the Swiss
system, the initiative and referen-
dunn, there would be no division of
the people upon party lines as there
is to-day. Laws and measures would
be discussed and adopted or rejected
according as they would affect the
interests of a majority of the people.
But we have not this system, nor can

FRANK HARE, the newly elected supervisor has been c resident of Tombstone almost since the time the first pick was stuck into the ground. His qualifications for the office are perfect. He is honest, economical and trustworthy, and will make valuable member of board that is to go on record and be closely scrutinized by the public. It is doubtful if Cochise county ever had . board of supervis- ors composed of representative men SO peculiarly fitted to look alter the in- tsrests of the whole county. It is the fret time in our history that that body has been composed of one mem Der from each Of the three corners Of the area over which they are to have the supervision. Tombstone, Bisbee and Wilcox, each have c repre-ents- tive on the board. The idea is x ju-i one and cannot but be conducive to cur welfare, It will bring the differ snt sections of our county closer to- gether and cause s unity of action In pushing forward to the great future in store for the once banner county of Cochise.
