This Kind of a Man.

Bryan will carry his peace-lov
ing, persuasive policy into th'
campaign. Those who expect from
him rancorous abuse of Wall stree
or the sound money leaders vii
be mistaken. Before the campaign
is half over the Altgelds and the
Tillmans will be calling him weak.
kneed. The speech to-day at sa.
lem was deeply significant for two
things. One was the stand Mr.
Bryan took upon A. P. A. ism, as
it is commonly understood. He
paid an eloquent tribute to the
place where he had ''learned the
lesson of freedom of conscience u
and declared that the Government
must not interfere with worship
according to the dictates of con-
science"
But the second signifcan! utter
ence was of even greater impor-
tance. Mr.. Bryan plainly indica-
ted that he would not be a leader
of a Populistic movement against
wealth. The Government, he said,
must protect TIE fortunes of the
rich as well as :he possessions of
the poor. He explained expressly
that he was not pleading for a lev
cling which would hamper indi-
vidual efforts and make all alike,
but for a condition which whould
give all men The same rights be-
fore the law. The Language was
apparently intended to meet the
criticism of his first speech the
night he arrived at Sulem. On
that occasion he said he was for 4
government which shall be "no
respecter of persons, but which
shall, like heaven, treat all per-
sons alike"
To-day be explained his posi-
ton; it was that all persons should
be alike in the eye OF the law, but
not alike in wealth or intellect, at
tainments or accomplishments.
If Mr.. Bryan keeps on he will
prove himself to be more of Dem
ocrat and less Of Populist than
the country supposed.

Florence, July 24.-Richbours
and Watts were the excitement to-
day.
Richbourg led off relating thai
Watts got helple-sly drunk last
Satul day at Chester. He saw him
supported OIL the street by two
gentlemen who were present. This
drunkenness was habitual.
When Watts took the stand be
charged Rlchbourg with being a
thief, liar, defrauder and niger
lover. He declared that he failed
three times, each time getting
richer. "If you fail a few more
times old man, you'll be rich" "
Richbourg arose trembling and
ordered Watts to hush. He said
that he could not afford to make
an exhibition of himself here but
would hold Watts personally re-
sponslble outside for every utter
ance. They were lies.
Watts: "l'll meet you On any
high plane, but don't think you
can get there" Watts said that
he had letter flom Jas. Hoefer,
Rlchbourg's former. partner, say
ing that he had robbed him not
only of money but watches.
Richbourg got a reply. He got
a lawyer to read the affidavit of
]. S. Muller, his assignee, saying
that Richbourg had not when a
failed even reserved his homestead
rights, but had turned over his
plantation, two houses and lots and
other property. At 2:1O Judge
Earle was introduced and began e
fine speech on national affairs.
Florence, July 24.-Just before
3.o'clock Evans was making
speech. He Immediately proceed
ed to attack Earle. When he al
luded to Earle and Duncan as 60
ing about with their tails between
their legs, Earle sprang on the
stand and struck Evans on the
head with his open hand.
They cllnched. Earle received a
blow under the eye which brought
blood.
The widest excitement follow
ed. Pistols we're drawn. The crowd
was finally got comparatively
quiet.
AS soon as the meeting was de-
clared adjourned, Mr.. Duncan be-
ing the last speaker, there were
loud calls far Earle. Judge Earle
was in one OF the jury rooms sur
rounded by his friends. After the
demonstration had been kept up
for some time, the judge respond
ed, walking into the hall and say
ing a few words to The men who
had gathered there. He regretted
exceedingly, he said. the events
of the day, but be had heen taught
by his father and grandfather new
er to take an insult, and he never
would. He was loudly applauded.

ing novelty OF his own invention in
the shape of fire lighter, a most use

that while 1t can be lighted and ex-

never consumed and when lighted the
heat thus produced is go intense that

Persisted For Want of Water.

Judge Duke returned Thursday even
ing from Tacna, where he went to hold
q coroner's inquest over the remains of
a man who was found dead at that place
Wednesday morning.
He had a difficult time securing a
jury, as but three men could be secured
at Tacns. As last resort q passing
train wss held u and a good jury secur-
ed from the crew.
The facts disclosed by the inquest are
as follows: The young man, who was
apparently % or % year old, was seen
at the section house at Tacns on the
Sd, and while loafng about there told q
couple of boys that his name was Tony
Maboney, and that he was on his way
east. He continued to stay around
there and was seen every day, at one
time going to the section house and de-
handing some tea TO drink, refusing wa
ter.
The day before he was found dead,
the track walker, Mr.. Harness, met him
on the track and Mahoney stated that
be bad chaEged his mind about going
east and WAS going back west, and that
when he got back he would never re-
turn. Mr. Harness gave him a bottlf
OF water and that was the last he saw o.
the man until the next day, when pass.
ibg certain epot he noticed a stencil
Upon examination he found the body
of the man. 1t was nude, the clothing
being found $50 yards away. The sup
position Is that he became crazy for
want OF water, and taking off his clothes

Rope Needed.

The little hamlet Of Metcali up in
Graham county contributed it's usual
homicide last week, and il We have
kept the proper count this would make
something like 25 murders that have
been committed in Graham county
during the pat year. This time one
of the Mexican peons, probably a
recent arrival from Mexico, MUIR
dered Marion Mitcasll, the superinten-
dent of the Metcaif Mines. Mr.. Nit
chell was a very pleasant gentleman,
has been employed by the Arizona
Copper company for fourteen years
and leaves a wife snd family to mourn
his loss. The murderer Is, we suppose,
a fair sample of the pauper laborers
who are in such great demand in
the United States by the big corpora
tlons as they will work for any kind
of wages and are not smart enough to
prevent their employers from swindl-
ing them out OF the email amount
they are supposed to receive. 1t is
this class of people who have made a
little he'll olt OF the copper camps of
Clifton and Morenci and caused the
heading another murder at Clifton
to be common sight in the ierritor-
ial papers. They are there to stay,
however, and the only way the people
OF Graham county can discharge them
is by very liberal use of rope.-Sul-

The Saddest Words Are Tt Might
Have Been"

A crowd OF exolted democrats were
gathered at the bulletin board eagerly
scanning every line as it appeared. Con.
fidently expecting, because they were
sincerely hoping, the nomination OF
Bland, their enthusiasm was pent up
and an explosion was momsntarily ex-
pected. A telegram came-only line.
Ii said: "Bland nominated" The
crowd was parslyzed for an instant, al
though the expected had transpired.
Then every democrat turned Gin his
tracks, faced his brother, crsned his
neck, looked into each others eye,
and emitted yell after yell into each 9th
er's faces, and the echoes Of those ear
splitting bursts Of pent up applause are
even yet chasing each other up the dark
canyons of the Santa Catalinss. A
moment later, while yet the din and up
roar of victory was at its highest, the
bulletin man stuck his head oct and
announced: "Bryan is nominated"
"What! The you sayp Again each
loyal democrat looked into his brothers
eyes, but no more could they see the
joyful Bland sparkle. Enthusiasm had
vanished. As each forlorn brother turn
ed his back and walked away a muffied
murmur arose which sounded very
much like the expression used by the
disappointed Dutchman when the other
fellow said "Keno."
