Fondness of Mice for Music.

A nice little animal story is given in
this months Nature Notes, which raises
the interesting question whether mice
have fondness for music. 1t is con-
tributed by musician, who says: Zone
evening 1 was somewhat startled at
hearing my piano suddenly giving forth
sweet sounds, apparently of its own ac-
cord. A mouse, so it proved, had got
inside the instrument, and was making
music on the wires. Whether this was
intentional on mousie's part or not
cannot say; perhaps he was trying to
make a nest for himself there. Some
years ago, however, while piano was
being played in the dining-room of my
old home, several mice came out upon
the hearthrug and began to jump about
apparently with delight at the sound oi
the music, and one was either so alb
sorbed or overcome by itthat he allowed
himself to be carried away in q tongs by
the housemaid." After this, ladies
ought to lose their antipathy to mice;
indeed, we may soon expect some hu
manitarian dame to commence musical
parties for their delectation 1t would
be amusing to see them dance, ant
would form really humane method Of
catching them. News.

THE APPORTIONMENT.

"The Bulletins charge that Supt.
Cluff had unlawfully apportioned
the school money in Graham re-
mains unanswered" ."-Bmletin
Evidently the Bulletin expects
the GUARDIAN to answer its charges
against Supt. Cluff. We are not
championing the cause of Geo.
Cluff in this matter because we do
not believe he needs it. But we
do know that the editor of the
Bulletin has no use whatever for
Supt. Cluff, hence the numerous
attacks on him in that sheet. In
an other article the Bulletin says:
ait is reported that the legal ques-
ton of the apportionment of school
money in Graham county is to be
settled in the courts, one of the
small districts to ask the court to
mandamus the Superintendent into
compliance with the law"
There is no doubt but that it will be
brought into court if the Bulletin
can possibly make the districts be-
lieve that they ought to spend a
lalge portion of their money in the
courts instead of in the school in
the education of the children.
In another article of the same
issue the Bulletin further says;
'Supt. Netherton when in Solomor'
Vile last week called at the Bulletin
office and the subject of the school
fund apportionment law was dis
eussed. Mr.. Netherton stated that
on carefully reading the law he
was of the opinion that $500 should
first go to each district having a
census population of 20 and over
before any money could be appor-
toned to the districts on the basis
of actual attendance. This may
not be his exact language, but he
agrees that the Bulletin was probab'
ly correct in its Interpretation OF
the law"
Supt. Netherton has probably
given this subject more careful
study than any other man in Ari
zona, and two weeks ago last Wed
nesdav night he gave his views
veiy clearly n the subject to large
auaIance and his yiaMs- c2:3cided
exaSHy With the manner in which
the money in this county has been
apportioned. We do not believe
that Supt. Netherton would give
his views on the subject to several
hundred people and the next day
admit that he was wrong in his
opinion on account of not having
carefully read the law before
Not only this, but Supt. Nethertor
also stated tothe editoa of the GUARD
IAN on more than one occasion
that he believed Supt. Cluff ha(
apportloned the money according
to the meaning of the law. He al
so stated that the money had been
apportioncd in Maricopa and Other
counties the same as 1T has been in
Graham comfy. 1t seems strang'
that if this view is not the correc
one that no objection has beer
raised in those counties. The Bul
letin admits that the language quot
ed above "may not be his exac
Ian suage." We do not hesitate tc
say th-.t it was not his exact Ian
guage nor did he infer what tina
lan5uag conveys either, as we be
lieve he had thoroughly made u
his mind as to the meaning of tn
aw before he came to Graham
county.

to this request. and that it will not rec
ognize the right Of Venezuela to grant
a patent for any part of the territory
in dispute. These are the current ru-
mors concerning the subject. How true
they are can only be conjectured In the
absence of direct information from Sec
retary Olney.
OF course, IL England has actually
declined to arbitrate the ownership Of
territory newly claimed by her and has
really sent troops to the scene for bull
lying purposes, the only consistent
thing for the Cleveland administration
to do is to lay the correspondence be-
fore congress and ask its permission to
dispatch other forces there to put the
Britishers out. We dare say the nego-
tiations have not yet reached this stage.
The officials of the British foreign Of
flee are probably taking Secretary Oh
ney's measure. II he shows grit, they
will weaken at the conclusion. Other
wise, they will grab all they can. and
once having forced point in despite
of the Monroe doctrine, they will pro-
coed to turn up their nose at that enun-
citation with true Anglican contempt,
and lay plans for other land-grabs
wherever their territorial passion di-
reefs.
This would certainly seem to be Mr..
Olney's opportunity. WIN he prove
equal to it?

Mrs. Swans View of Charity.

The paper of Mrs Swan defining real
charity, which was read yesterday in
Philadelphia. before the state conven-
tion of poor board directors, and which
we elsewhere reproduce, will repay
careful perusal. 1t is the thoughtful
subject life study, and who has en-
joyed exceptional facilities for acquir-
ing practical knowledge concerning it.
The gist of Mrs. Swans argument is
that charity is worse than wasted
which does not inspire in its recipient
the instinct of selfIhelp. The careless
profrering of money or it's equivalent to
persons in real or pretended misfortune
is not only a mistake, since it negaects
to appeal to their gratitude or pride
and makes no discrimination between
merit and imposture. but it is often an
unintertlonal affront, tending to drive
into confirmed mendicancy those who
by proper stimulation and encourage
ment might be led out of momentary
emergency into industry, thrift and in
dependence. Mrs. Swan is especially
sharp in her condemnation of much of
the charity which obtains among the
churches. on the ground that it is SUPER
ticial indiscriminate and therefore sub
verslve of it's recipients self respect.
On the contrary, she speaks in terms
of earnest praise concerning those more
practical phases of organized benevol-
ence OF which the free kindergarten and
the manual training school are familiar
types. These manifestations of the
eleemosynary spirit she places at the
very top of the column, in conspicuous
token of the effectiveness and perma-
nence of their influences for good. The
paper as a whole is thoughtful and
well-considered; and it's philosophy
stands approved by practical exper-
ience.

Mr.. OIney's Opportunity.

penalty. The increase of capital crime
in this county may or may not have
been the result of the numerous fail
ures to convict when the evidence war
ranted verd'cts of murder In the first
degree. However that may be. 1t Is
evident that the time has come when
capital punishment will follow the COM
mission of capital crime. 1t Is a pc
cular and noticeable fact that all OF
the three men who have been convicted
in this county and presumably will be
executed in the near future, belong to
ignorant foreign classes that have of
recent years come into this valley.
Neither of the three Is a citizen of
the United States, and neither of them
can speak or understand the English
language. They belong to a class of
men who have not learned the customs
of western civilization and know moth
ing of our laws. The law does not
take cognfzance of ignorance as an ex-
tenuatlng circumstance. There Is an
other fact connected with all three Of
the cases under consideration that de-
serves attention. Beck, Boschino and
Rosa are all poor men and compara-
lively Enthusiastically they are
without influential friends. Neverthe-
less, to the great credit of the i'm
partialfty of our judicial system be 1t
| said, they had as fair trials and as
earnest efforts were made to save them
from the extreme penalty of the law as
If they were surrounded by influential
friends and had boundless wealth at
their command.
In no county in Pennsylvania has
there been greater reluctance on the
part of juries to convict of murder in
the first degree than in Lackawanna.
Only after nearly two decades have a
/, few of the many murderers been
brought under the shadow Of the gall
lows. Efforts to save the three con-
victed men have not yet been aban-
doned. The numerous avenues of es-
cape have not yet all been traversed. In
two cases the Supreme court has not yet
been appealed to for new trial. in the
third the board of pardons will yet be
asked to interpose clemency.

men belong to an ignorant class; class

ignorant. An enormous proportion Of
the crime committed In this county is

and Rosa belong. as may be seen by the
court records. Is 1t not possible to

To a Critic.

In another place we give space to a
communication from an esteemed cor
respondent, Mr.. Charles Z. Bradbury.
sharply criticizing news article in
yesterdays Tribune concerning the
quest of the county commissioners for
a gallows sufficiently ample to satisfy
the multiplying demands of justice in
Lackawanna county. Mr.. Bradbury
thinks that The Tribune's illusions to
this subject were brutal, flippant and
in bad taste; and intimates that the
viewing OF the death penalty in such a
spirit tends to weaken popular rever-
ence for law and authority.
Without pausing to debate this phase
of the question, which is largely deter
mined by personal temperament, we de-
sire to suggest that our critic scan the
records of crime in this vicinity and see
If he can perceive in the operation of
the death penalty virtues which would
justify the mention of it with reverent
intonation and bated breoth. Has it
acted as a preventive of murder? Is
homiciIal crime on the wane of its en-
homicidal crime on the wane be-
cause of its enactment into the
comsmor,wealth's criminal law? Is
the spectacle of presuma bly,
ChILc-.an society using its po-
lice enginery to fight murder with mur-
der, to visit vengeance upon vengeance
to add to the crime of bloodshed in ig-
norance and in passion the greater
crime of retributive bloodshed
planned deliberately and executed in
cold design such as to inspire in the
average observer sentiments of graft
tude, respect anu deep-seated venera-
ton?
The very coincidence Of three MUIR
derers awaiting in one Jail the common
butchery--which is none the less a
butchery because mistakenly consum-
mated in the name of a barbaric law
should be sufficient to the average on
locker to remove any preconceived no
tlons about the sanctity of human
slaughte ter or dispel any superficial faith
in punishments which are not primari-
ly corrective. The article of which COM
