A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A Plea for the Establishment of One 1T
 Phoenix.

To .ditor of HE REPUBLICAN:
 PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 20-Phoenix is city. That assertion Is superfuous The stranger will see without very critical observation that Phoenix has many of the essential characteristics which go to distinguish a modern city
 In buildings, although we may not have amy which called f,r such geniuses as Angelo or Wren to construct, yet we have some which would do credit ito a city of greater pre- tensions than Phoenix and give promise of greater things in that line in the future Add to this our street car lines, electric lights, water works, and the various other appendages of a city, not forgetting our fine schools and churches which treat the stranger to genuine surprise, whose opinions of Arizona had hitherto been synonymous with thoughts of unpublished cowboys, brand ishing six-shooters and Bowie knives.
 But one thing is lacking to the city which advances claims to be the seat of culture as we'll as of the wealth and industry of the southwes est, and that is a public library
 EOOuSUuO udS we'll Sdlu UldC tue T6dL university of today is books and that at the universities so called, we in fact just learn to read in different lan- guges and although comparatively few of our community have learned to read in that fine language in which Homer depicts the feats of Achilles or in the majestic one which Viogel used to sing the praises of Augustus, yet we can all read with more or less fluency in the harsh but not ignoble tongue in which Paridise Lost and the Advancement of Learning are written.
 Then again if the welfare of com munity depends, as we all think it does in great measures on the tuition and environments of it's outh I think while the gambling house is thrown wide open to invite with the sounds of music the young men to participate in those habits so numerous and degrading to the minds of men, it is high time that the people of such prosperous city as Phoenix were considering the proposi- tion to establish a place where old and young men come under those infu- ences which tend to elevate and en- tighten the human mind, viz: a public library, or at least place to read the daily papers and current literature.

The college of which the corner stone

The college of which the corner stone was laid at Lamont, Iowa, though com monly spoken of as a Mormon" col lege, is an institution of the Reorgan- ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the head centers" of which are at Lamont, Iowa, and Inde- pendenee, Mo. This religious society is entirely independent of the Utah hierarchy and community and is de- voted, as most religious bodies are in the country, to the advance of useful learning; has accumulated a considera- ble literature of its own and at Lamont will undertake the work of general and non-sectarian education

Unsatisfactory Close of the Copper
 Queen Suit.

Tucson Star: The jury in the Cop- per Queen case failed to agree on yer dict The agreement to disagree was reached at noon on Sunday, thirty eight hours after the case was submit ted, and the jury was discharged
 Slight changes of opinion took place in the jury room, but at the outset there was so nearly an equal division that there was no hope among the jurymen themselves of any sort of an agree ment unless possibly on a compromise
 At first the jury stood five for the gov ernment and seven for the defendant. After several ballots the vote changed to eight to four and at last the defend ant gained still another vote, the ballot standing nine to three. There was no other change.

The lot of a South American presi- dent is little, if any, brighter than that of a Car of Russia. Alfaro of Ecuador, who secured his seat less than two months ago, has already been forced to arrest two sets of plotters against his life. If it were not for the money there is in it, it is question whether anyone would take South American presidential job.

warmly discussed, but it was plain from the discussion that further ballot ing was useless. So the two weeks struggle over an issue involving a more important principle and involving a larger sum of money than any that had ever taken place in Tucson came to nothing. The government will prob ably relinquish the fight and it will likely be renewed at the next term of court. This is the most important of the suits of the same character the United States has ever brought.

IDLE OWNERS OF IDLE WEALTH

Grand Master Workman Sovereign said at Washington a few days ago: 1.-The conflict between the working peo- ple and the idle holders of idle capital is inevitable. The wealth of the many is gravitating to the few with increas- ing ratio, and labor is drifting to- ward serfdom faster than ever before. He did not explain how "the idle hold CTS of idle capital" will be compelled before very long to join the force of la boring men, if they insist in letting their capital remain idle If MT. Sov- ereign desires to see the accumulated wealth of the country scattered to the winds, he should encourage these idle holders of idle capital, not denounee them. The man who owns a million dollars and draws out part of it every year to live on can soon get rid Of his fortune A single generation would sui fee to destroy all the fortunes in the country if the wealthy people were all to join the idle holders of idle capi- tal," whom MT. Sovereign denounces so vigorously. So, unless that 'inevita- ble conflict shall come very soon, the working people, will not find any such class as is described by MT. Sovereign ito have a conflict with.
 There are few people in this country who are so foolish as to let their capi- tai lie idle. People of wealth are con- cerned to keep their capital at work so they can live on the income from it, and so they need not diminish the ac cumulation which they or their ances- tors have saved To do this they must give opportunity for labor. No man can draw interest on loaned money, or receive income from invested capital, without giving employment to labor,
 
 from active use and lay it away in a bank or safety vault without decreas ing the opportunities of labor. It is by investing their wealth and adding to it out of the income derived from it that thrifty people build up fortunes, and wealth will not go on increasing unless it be used in some way whereby en- ployment may be given to brawn and brain.
 MT. Sovereign seems to think that rich people are masters of some subtle alchemy whereby they can put their wealth away where it will employ no labor and yet increase prodigiously at the expense of labor. That idea forms the basis of nearly all his diatribes against wealth. It is absurd in the ex- treme. If there are any idle owners of idle capital in this country they will all be idle without capital, or else work ing for a living before many years Nor are there very many idle owners of capital of any sort, for the man of wealth who can keep his capital profit, ably employed is about as busy as any one can be in this age.

The Hermit of the Hollow
BY WILLIAM c. HILL.

In certain very retired cove in
the Tennessee mountains, there re-
sided many years ago an old. man,
who was so grabbed and crusty in
his dealings with his neighbors that
he was known to all the sturdy back
woodsnen as the meanest man that
ever lived. OF course it is not to be
understood that the meanest man has
lived and died, on the contrary there
are two many living now. His miser-
" greed seemed extortion to the sim
pie minded folk and it was popular
ly believed that everything he
touched turned to gold. AS a burnt
child breads the fire, they gave him
no second opportunity to increase his
wealth at there expense, and finally
he lived in complete isolation, avoid
ed and dreaded by all. He had new
err been known to lend anything, nor
to receive anyone within the four
walls of his cabin, nor did he seek the
society of man or brute, and it was
believed without exception that he
exchanged nightly conferences with
witches and demons.
This old man, at the time ia
which our story chiefly refers, was
bent and grlzzled with the winters OF
four score and ten years; MS face was
as shriveled as a dried apricot; bis
eyes were sunken far back Into bis
bony head, and were shaded by great
bushy eye brows of an uncertain col
or, while his glance had the penetra-
ton and cunning of a fox. He was
tall, or would have, Deen so had il
not been for the painful stoop in 'his
shoulders. His hands seemed more
like claws than those of any human
heing aud similar to the paw of a
wildcat were armed with long, curv,
ing nails. His teeth were Jagged
and yellow, and long, grey beard
matted and unkempt, hung t( hin
waist. His strange appearance caus.
ed him to be regarded as accurseC
for some awful crime, and the hun
tiers gave his cabin wide berth ii

only amongst our membership, but
among all the speople of our land,
and to spread and sustain the dOct-

come with no very pleasant antici-
patlons. The cheering glow of the
comfortable backlog did something
to allay alarm, and soon the recol-
lection of the impending storm was
forgotten, OF at least laid aside for
more cOngeniaI subjects.
Meantime the ominous cloud was
brOoding over the high point Of the
mountain, venting its spleen IN flash
es of forked lightning and sonorous
peals Of thunder, which echoed and
re-echoed from wall to cliff and cliff
to wall, dozen times. The leaves
were skurrying to and fro, driven by
the howllng blasts that descended at
intervals from the raging yortexes
above, as if seeking for shelter, and
the giant trees ratified their fast de-
nuding branches as if in pain.
A low moaning was heard, almost
like that of spirits far above in the
swirling clouds; there was a binding
flash, and mid most tremendous
peal of thunder, which shook the
cliffs to their foundations and caused
them to cast huge stones at the for
est at their bases, the tempest was
upon the devoted valley. The rain
fell in almost in almost unbroken tor
rents and dashed itself into luminous
foam upon the rocks. and the fear
full uproar of the hurricane was
heard on every side,
Suddenly above the the elements
a cry was heard. There was silence
for a moment, silence which to the
listeners IN the hutS seemed prolong-
ed to a painful degree. They stood
aghast. What was this. that could
make itself heard above such con-
fusion Of sounds? Breathlessly they
listened, hardly daring to look at one
another, as if fearing to behold in-
stead some awful spectre. Again
came that terrible cry, floating upon
the now strangely quiet air. There
was hate of God and man, resentful
violence, murder and incarnate NAL
ignity expressed in it. Then the
storm closed in again, and there was
no intermission now, but it ragged till
early morning and gathering the
broken remnants of its gloomy train
passed on over the cliffs.
The secret of that cry was never
discovered. Hunters in passing
through the country discovered the
RUNS Of the cabin which had beer
blown down. The old hermit had
disappeared and no trace was ever
found OF him.
Another remarkable circumstance
was the discovery of two prints on g
lofty rock that overlooked the her
mit's dwelling, one being we'll de-
fined footprint, and the other the
heel of a second. The people de
clare that the Devil came in person
that night to pay off old scores a
gainst the Hermit, and to balance thu
account had seized upon his person
We leave that for the reader to de
eide, and at the same time ask anoth
er question, was 1t the Devil or tin
Hermit of the Hollow that uttere,
that terrible cry?

and as often as they returned home
half famished and without carcase,
attributed their want of luck to the
Hermit of the Hollow, as he was now
wont to be called.
There were many varied stories
rife, of how some hunters, who, hap
pening to wander that way through
ignorance of the evil endowments OF
tho place, saw the lord and master
of the lonely habitatiOn, riding a
black dog down the mountain and O.
yer the tops of the trees in their di-
rection, and that they at the sight
had Tetreated the best they knew
how. Lucky for themselves, they
were not pursued, so they though t,
and after that the cabin was more de-
serted than ever.
A short description of his place OF
abode would not be inappropriate
here. His hut was built of roughly
hewn logs, filled in the crevices with
mud and stone. 1t was bare and
lonely and there were no trees or
bushes around it, not even the wild
varieties. There was small kitch-
en- garden, hut outside of this all was
rock and stump, or fallen tree,
blackened by the fires that consumed
the leaves at each recurring season.
1t vas most cherries sight and one
we'll calculated to inspire horror
The rocky creek which wound its
tortuous course behind the soll-
tary hut was shaded by tall and
gloomy hemlocks that maintained a
constant moaning in their upper
branches as if deplorlng the unhal-
lowedness of the place. The st cam
that in summer was dry, in winter
roared and struggled down the mar
lrow glen with the energy and cruelty
, of tiend. Then it was that the old
hermit would rush out bareheaded
from his lettering house, and hang
ing over the roaring cataract, would
pour forth strange imprecations upon
it, and after a silence would break
into the widest of laughter leaping
from one half-submerged rock to an
other with the celebrity of cat and
the desperation of a man pursued,
HIS pastime was the chase; nothing
could escape his cunning ferocIty, no
bear could avoid his pursuing step,
no deer elude his patient wait. He
seemed to possess all the innate in
stincts of thesanimal, joined with the
most enduring patience. Not a twig
snapped but what he knew it, and
I likewise no fish leap6d in the pool
below.
Howdong he had been there nc
one knew How long he would be
there, no one had the slightestidea
His life seemed charmed; he was SC
