STAND UP FOR ARIZONA.
THE NEGRO QUESTION.

Three thousand people assembled the other evening in the Cradle of Lib erty." Faneuil hall The following eX- cerpt from the resolutions is a fair sample and an explanation of the busl- ness of the meeting:
 'We are, as human, civilized beings, as proud Americans, made to hold our heads down in shame, because of the almost daily reports which reach US of beings born in the image of God thrust into consuming fires with all the conse- uuent agonies, with the outraged pit eously entreating their heartless tor mentors for mercy, protesting their in nocence even while in the very jaws of death; while gazing imploringly; that is, if their eyes have not been gouged out, upon men, women and children as sembled from miles around to witness and gloat over Gods image scoffed at while wrfthing in agony"
 The meeting despite its resolutions, is important as the forerunner of the next great political agitation. The whites of the south say the negro albounds in criminal propensities and must be held under by such hideous tragedies of lynch law that now are of almost daily occurrence in the gulf states. The negroes aver they are being kept under that political power may continue with the whites.
 Two facts are plain: One is that to the negro of the cotton plantations are to be charged awful criminalities.
 Yet this does not excuse or even palliate the lynchings and burnings, for law there should be to wreak a speedy and sufficient vengeance upon the evil-doers. It cannot be considered in other light than manifestation of weakness of law, and a desire of the white to terrorize the black man.
 The second, on the other view, is that the negro down south is not permitted to vote. Many there are who say he should not Vote-Hhat he is too ignor- ant. Yet, in the next breath, the same person will inveigh against education for the black race as detrimental to southern industry.
 We here in Arizona have little of the trouble, yet with our different classes of population the proposition is plain The south has the negro representative in congress, though the negro's vote is openly thrown out. It may be that the plantation darkey is not capable oi welding the ballot-neither are the Hungarians of the Pennsylvania coa pits or the lazzaroni of the streets oi New York. This brings us to an edu. cationa qualification, perhaps one oi property also.
 There is trouble brewing. Either the negro should vote or he should be legal ly disfranchised. Either the southern lynchings should be checked or law de clared merely a convenience for the settlement of civil disputes.

MINING FAKES.

If there is anything in Arizona that has retarded it's progress and blackened its reputation it has been the practice of listing in the east stock founded on worthless mining claims. No section more than Cave Creek district, near Phoenix, has been subject to this ras-

The carload of 24,- 900 pounds is worth $15,O00. This is the richest shipment of ore ever brought from Sonora through this port. The Santa Rosalia mine is situated in Arispe district and is supposed to be an old mine worked by the Spaniards 200 years ago. The export duty levied on this car of ore by the Mexican gov ernment was 71A per cent or SLIPS on the lot.

A Unique Trolley Line.
The Sun

The trolley line between Orange and South
Orange, which Is about three miles long at
present, IL built entirely through private
praperty, and il il proposed TO run cars over
the route at the rate Of thirty miles an hour
or more. The part Of the road so far com
pleted has cost over S!OO,OoV. including an
arched tunnel under fremont avenue, which
alone cost over $1,000. The road is owned by
the Maplewood and south Orange Railroad
Company. Of which FRANK Brewer OF south
hacker of the concern and the man who really
controls the company is Henry a. Page, the
Leonard street dry goods merchant, VINO lives
at Montrose.
The road Is through one OF the most pic
turesque parts of the Oranges. It VIII pro-
vide the first public means OF communication
between tho South Orange Field Club grounds
and any OF the business sections or the
Oranges. The line crosses and recrosses the
east branch of the Railway River over sub
stantial bridges in a sorpentine course.

CYCLING AND LITERATURE.

The Critic, that most readable OF pc
riodicsls devoted t. things literary. has
just completed and published the re-
suits OF a competition in bicycle poetry
for which a prize OF s25 and anfher OF
so were offered for the best poems on bi-
cycling or the bicycle. We shall repro
duoe the prize verses in our columns. Har-
per's Weekly suggested that "What The
Critic Is after is, doubtless, not so much
to test the capacity Of the contemporary
poets as to demonstrate that there Is no
poetry in bicycling and the bicycle, and
that 1t Is useless TO get 1t out. An exam
ination OF the English language reveals
only a single word that can be harnessed
with bicycle in Maeonian verse, and that
word unfortunately stands for commod-
ity which is out OF season when bicycles
are in" The result has proved, however,
as The Critic points out, that there is po-
etry in the bicycle, as there is in all mo-
tion for several hundred MSS. were re-
ceived in competition for the prize, some
OF them coming from England and
France.
In connect ion with the published results
OF the competition The Critic prints
number of communications from
authors OF note, from which it
appears that literary folk are dis
posed to the bicycle habit. GEORGE w.

both whcelmen, while HAMILTON W. Ma

are numbered among the wheelmen and
wheeiwomen, while Mrs. FRANCES HoDG-
SON BURNETT has got as far as the pur-
chase of a wheel. DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT,
who was thrown from his horse the
other day, is not a bicycle rider.
Neither is JAMES LANE ALLEN, the
charming writer OF Kentucky monastery
stories T. b. ALDRIcH, the "bad boy,'
has ridden about every other kind OF q
steed, except the steel horse. NOAH
BROOKS used to ride the old velocipede.
EDWARD EooLEsToN doesn't ride, because
the roads where he lives are poor, and
besides he doesn't relish tn job OF blow
ing up a pneumatic tire. Rev. EDWARD
EVERETT HALE used to ride the French
velocipede OF 1880, and stopped when his
legs got too long for the reach TO the
ground. THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGIN
SON has ridden a tricycle., and was at on,
time president of the Massachusetts, Bicy
Gle Club. Some of these literary folk ar,
SO fond of walking that they have no de
sire to take up the wheel.
A pathetic note to the correspondence
relates to the late HJALMAR II. BoYEsEN
who some time before his death begal
to ride the bicycle, and became an arden
champion OF the wheel. His heart ha,
never been quite sound, and ii is believe,
the unwonted exercise weakened it still
further.
