caught up, but some are ahead.

There is a marked contrast between the

day, April 18th, 1855, and same date today,

never obliterate. On the former he voluntar-

On the latter, all vegetation which was IN fuil

snow, and all lovers of the beautiful could

and intermingling OF the green foliage and
the white beautiful snow. In both cases.
they have only occurred once. in so far my

GOLD BUG STRATEGY.

The board of manager of the
Carnagie steel company at Pitts
burg, recently announced an ad-
vance to their employees of ten per
cent to take effect June 1st.
A few days previous the board
had declined to make any advance
but after conference with the
English gold bugs of Lombard
street, Mr.. Carnagie cabled from
his palace in Scotland to make the
increase of ten per cent.
The purpose of the gold bugs is
to make show of good times re,
turning and thereby attempt, il
possible, to stop the silver move
ment. 1t will not fool the Ameri-
can people. The masses know by
sad experience in their busy walks
of life how few the dollars are and
how hard to obtain. The advance
of wages to the Pittsburg men will
be welcomed, but as a lesson of the
gold bugs, it will be met by a
thousand object lessons in favor OF
the free coinage of silver on equal
terms with gold. Simply look
about us, and every hour-yes
every minute Of time gives forth
countless lessons for free coinage
that are sinking deep into the hearts
of the people of our land.

THE Daggs brothers, w. L. Van
Horn, and p. B. McCabe, Of Tempe,
officers Of the defunct Tempe bank,
have been indicted recently on "a
number of counts. One indictment
charges embezzlement of $4,000,
and another the embezzlement of
1000 head of sheep. That is pretty
good for an Arizona accomplish
ment but we once knew of New
York man who stole a cage of full
grown lions at Buffalo, N. Y, and
was caught with the property in
his possession in Chicago three
weeks later. The recent attempt
of the Washington city men to
steal the earth may be set down
though as the climax of ''nerve"
force.

THE UNF0RGIvEN SIN.

An exchange publishes the fol
lowing as part of the unwritten
history of every community in
Arizona:
A woman trusts and is betrayed.
To her betrayer the hand of every
saint and sinner in the community
is held out and the world smiles at
him in thanksgiving at one faint
sign of repentance. To the woman
every face bears the frown of ha-
tired and against her every hand is
upllfted, an exile from home, an
outcast from society anu a target
for every vile tongue of SANDER,
she struggles along friendless and
unforgiven, even though she may
repent in sackcloth and ashes and
water her couch with tears of an
gulSh ana remorSe tor years to
come. The doors of the church are
turned against her, and the saints
who sing the songs of thanksgiv-
ing at the return of her betrayer,
draw their robes about them and
pass by on the other side when she
seeks to return to the mercy seat.
But He who said to the outcast of
nineteen centuries ago, $50 and
sin mn more," takes notice of these
things and rejoices more over the
repentance of one unfortunate than
over the ninety and nine who
strike her down every time she
seeks to regain her lost estate. For
give and ye shall be forgiven.

THE board of supervisors of Ora.

The board of supervisors of Gra-
ham county, despite the vigorous
protest of District Attorney Jones
have employed special counsel to
fight the county classification law.
District Attorneys are elected for a
purpose as well as the Supervisors,
and this purpose, as thea law de-
clares, is to give legal advice to the
Supervisors, but these officials with
an arbitrary power that was never
intended by the lawmaking body,
trample upon the laws and the
rights of other officials, and con.
duct things in a high handed man
ner. District Attorney Jones is
fully able and competent to advise
the big-headed board ofsupervisors
and we think he ought to enjoir
them from wasting public funds by
expcnding it for outside legal ad
vice, contrary to law and common
decency.-GaSette.

AT state convention of Repub-
lican clubs, held in Portland Or
egon, on Wednesday last composed
of over 700 delegates, there were
six anti-silver delegates chosen to
represent the state at the Cleve-
lond, Ohio convention. The anti
silver delegates were elected by a
vote of over two to one over the
silver men. A resolution calling
for free coinage at 16 to l was over
whelmingly defeated. The future
will prove that the convention did
not represent majority of the
people of the state of Oregon. We
predict it.

MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA J
EXECUTIVE OFFICE

TERRITORY OF ARIZONA
EXECUTIVE OFFICE
For more than a quarter OF a
century it has been the custom OF
our people to observe May Both as
Memorial Day, and in harmony
Herewith, National and Territorial
Legislation has established this as a
public holiday, dedicated to the
memory of those who wrought out
through the wager of battle the
principles that all men are born
free; that the States are members
of an industructible union, and that
this Republic shall not perish from
the earth.
This should be a day ofpatriotic
sentiment and love of country, a
day which will be the oil of glad
ness to the wounds caused by the
terrible conflict, and if there be
those who would keep alive acrimo-
nies engaged by the war, let our
invocation be "Father, forgive
them for they know not what they
do"
May all minds be inspired and
all hearts pulsate with sentiments of
reconciliation and love.
"No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding rivers be red,
They Danish our anger forever
When they laural the graves of
our dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray"
Now therefore l, Louis G. Hughes,
Governor of the Territory of Ariz-
ona, in view of the day and its
purposes do hereby recommend
that the people observe the same
in beftting manner, joining with
the surviving members of the Grand
Army of the Republic in their me-
moral service, and in strewing
uOW . Oli phO SloNOo " ohSiA w
parted comrads; thus encouraging
reflection on the duties of patriots
in time of the country's peril, and
animate the spirit of charity and
reconciliation in time ofpeace, that
every section of our Republic may
be "one and inseparable."
Done at Phenix, the Capital,
this 10Th day Of May, in the year
of our Lord, 1895.

THE GUARDIAN subscription list
and number of advertisements is

especially to be commended"

The GUARDIAN does not object to
the Territorial press reproducing
items from its columns, but we
would suggest the propriety OF
giving the proper credit, The
Florence Tribune, in its issue Of
May l1th, published an editorial
taken from the GUARDIAN, under
the head of the "Book of Genesis
without giving credit, and since
then other papers have copied the
same article crediting it to Elk,
We would also suggest to the Ell
Paso Tribune that 1t would be moth
ing more than common courtesy to
give the proper credit when it
publishes articles taken from our
columns.

Preparing For Camp.

At the special meeting of the Second regiment officers Thursday afternoon a motion was made to order officers and men to procure fatigue hats for service at camp The matter was disposed of by referring it to the several companies for action.
 During the discussion it developed that there was much opposition to the plan. The hats would cost the men about one dollar and fifty cents apiece, and it was TO- called that few years ago when the men bought leggings they were assured that the state would reimburse them, which it has not done
 It was voted to accept the bill of fare furnished the men; and it was the general understanding that nothing stronger than lemonade would be taken to camp by the officers in the way of beverages.
 The order recently sent out from tht adjutant generals office forbiddiDg full dress uniform at camp will be recalled anC the officers and men will be permitted tC carry their full dress suits for use in dress parades and other state occasions.

WHAT WE DRINK.

EeIs and Miniature Sea Serpent Drawn From a Brooklyn Water
 Faucet. sf,
 The principal topic of conversation in Brooklyn to-day is the peculiar looking specimens of living creatures which came through the faucets in some of the resi- dences yesterday afternoon. The people are greatly excited over the presence of these things in the water, and the result is that very little, if any, city water is being used to-day Tn that section. Yesterday afternoon Mrs James Kelly, who lives on the second floor at 435 Washington ave- hue, turned on the faucet and was aston ished to see two ugly looking crawlers and thirty or forty miniature cells drop into the dipper. She put them all into glass of water and exhibited them to a number of people during the day.
 Among those who saw them were Police Officer Martin Moore and local physician, the latter remarking that it was sure to make business good. The largest one of the lot would make an interesting study | for the Naturalist club, for it was the strongest specimen of animated nature ever seen by any of the residents. Its ex- ternal structure was the same as that of the ground mole and the skin, which was dark and clammy, was covered with sharp thorny prickles which protruded about an eighth of an inch. Another looked still worse and terrified all who took a look at it. At times it would be as round as marble, then it would inflate itself until it almost filled the glass, when two horns about an inch long would appeal over pair of glaring eyes which blazed
 like sparks from an electric current. Other l specimens were found Tn the tenements on | the upper floor of the same blcck.
