A LESSON IN GERMAN.
The Teuton's Civilizing Influence as Seer
Through English Spectacles.

The TeutOn's Civiliztng Influence as Seen
Through English Spectacles.
At the very moment that the press Of
the fatherland was hurting imprecations
against Great Britain in the name Of
humanity and civilization and holding
us up to universal infamy as a nation Of
brutal shopkeepers, devoid of culture
and noble ideals" at that very moment
one Of the Kulturtrager sent out to civ
ilize Africa was being tried i'll Potsdam
for bringing the German name into dis
repute there Wehlan-this is the adj
ministrator' name-who is only ono OF
many. had been sent out as vice chan
cellor Of Cameron, had occasionally rep
resented the governor. and during the
Bakoko rising had acted rs chief OF the
police force. His administration was
systematized cruelty Of kind which a
few instances will illustrate. Augustus
Bell, "a niger, was accused Of hav-
ing stolen a watch. He denied the
charge, and Vice Chancellor Wehlan
condemned him to receive 60 strokes OF
hippopotamus hide whip to compel
him to confess. When this sentence was
executed, the mans body was q jelly.
DR.. Valentin said that "a raw hacked
beefsteak was nothing in comparison.
A cook who humanely gave few cigars
to q man charged with larceny received
20 lashes Of the same instrument OF
torture.
The government interpreter, Eteeki,
stole some money and spirits, and to
punish him the German vice chancellor
and assessor, Wehlan, kicked him SO
long and so cruelty that the engineer OF
the German steamer Nachtigall had to
turn away unable any longer to look
upon the sight. Then Wehlan ordered
Is lashcs to be administered to the
wounded man, and finally gave instruc-
lions to have rope tied round his
waist so that he could be plunged into
the water. One Of three prisoners whom
he had in custody was helped by cook
to escape. Wehlan ordered the cook
to be seized and killed with the two
prisoncrs-beaten to death, mo weap-
ons to be used They were kicked and
thumped until half dead, when their
necks were struck and their heads bat
tered in. The corpses were horribly dis
figured. During the Bakoko insurrec-
ton villages were burned to the ground
and the threats Of helpless old women
cut Prisoners, when taken, which was
not always, were delivered up to the
soldiers to be scalped alive. "a cut was
made in the lower jaw with knife,
the fellow seized by the teeth, and the
whole scalp drawn over the face ana

aries testified that these were the most
efficacious means Of improving the mig

MEMORIAL DAY.

Today a grateful nation, suspends for time the usual ayocations of it's people to render a beautiful tribute to those whose courage and yalor pre- served it's existence and gave perpitu- ity to it's instutions. This tribute of love and affection for those who did so well by and deserve so much from their country is given in no yainglori- ous or exultant there is neith- CT desire nor intention to gloat over a fallen foe So far has time passed from the tremendous days in which they sealed their heroic devotion that victor and vanquished alike recognize that what they did was for the common benefit, and that the benefits they won will enure to a united posterity for all time. So with one accord all wend their way to the silent cities of the dead, bearing fra grant garlands of Natures choicest gifts with which to decorate the last resting places of the heroic dead; and each lowly mound where lies patriot hero becomes d sacred altar from which ascends the incense of q Ma tiOn's gratitude

NO DEMOCRAT FIT.

Last week the Cattle Sanitary Com mission elected Chas. W. Pugh, editor of the Stockman and Sulphur Valley News, secretary Whereat the Ga zette read the riot act to the new gov ernor after this fashion:
 Colin Cameron is holding office un- der a democratic administration but he never fails to secure the appoint ment uf a republican when vacancy exists, and following out this partisan idea, he yesterday secured the ap- puintment of c. W. Pugh as secretary 0f the live stock commission. The Gazette fully realizes Mir. Camer0n's ability on the stock board but at the same time we know that there are dozens of reputable democrats in Ari- zona who could and would fill the posi- tion he holds and considering the fact that he invariably utilizes his posi- tion in a democratic administration to appoint and retain republicans in office. we think it is the duty of Gov ernor Franklin to remove him, if this is democratic administration let Us have democrats in office.
 MT. Pugh formerly held the posi- tion. About year ago he was sup planted by democrat. Now he is re- appointed to a place he filled credit ably and well. Probably the commis- sion, land more likely Governor Franklin have discovered with refer ence to this position just what Consul Roberts told Sam Webb when he demanded the removal of R. D. George as vice consul at Nogales, Sonora, that 'there is no democrat in Arizona competent to fill the position Rob- erts knew: he sized them all up for down from Sam Webb to Mike Nu- gent. His recent promotion to the important post of consul general to South Africa shows the standing of Colonel Roberts in the world of di- plomacy and the field of American politics, and emphasizes greatly his estimate of the capacity of the aver age democratic office seeker in Ali ZOna.

IF THE anti-McKinley contests be.

IF THE anti-McKinley contests be- fore the St. Louis convention are all as frivolous as that from Arizona, there will be very little trouble set tling them. There was never more nimsy pretext for sending a contest ing delegation than that offered by the Christy anti-McKinley combine crowd. At the very outset their ayowed intention was to control the convention or bolt, and they engaged in advance a hall in which to hold their bolting convention. If their contesting delegations is seated and the regular Mckinley delegation ignored the republicans will not carry a county in Arizona the coming cleo tion. Not that the Mckinley men are bolters: they are not, but are stall wart republicans; but the masses will not stand such high handed outrages as were perpetrated at Phoenix by the anti-McKinley crowd. Arizona re- publicans are for Mckinley by about ten to one, and they all want to see seated at St.Louis the unequiyocally instructed Mckinley delegation headed by NJ. II. McCord.

 IN THE WRONG DELEGATION.

If the Mckinley managers are as far from being correct on their estim- ated strength in other states as they are in Arizona, then the Ohio states man may be laid on his back yet. In the estimates Arizona Is put down six for Mckinley, when it is doubtful if he receives more than one of the six from this territory. Burt Dunlap of Graham, is the only pronounced Me Kinley man on the delegation. [Gra- ham Bulletin.
 Unfortunately for Mir. Dunlap he Is in the wrong delegation. The anti Mckinley combine named him one of their delegates, and that delegation will be turned down at St. Louis by the convention itself, which, being a Mckinley convention will seat only the simon pure, instructed Mckinley delegation from Arizona.
The oasis., 1896-05-30

TIE anti-McKinley combine are claiming they are "as good Mckinley men as any" If they are why did they vote down on the floor of the con- yention the resolution positively in- structing them to vote for Mckinley at St. Louis?-w which resolution the editor of TIE OASIS presented in the committee on resolutions and suc- ceeded in carrying through that com mittee by very decisive vote. The republicans of Arizona don't want to see the anti-McKnley combine" delegation seated at St. Louis, and it ought not to be.

VERY TENUOUs.

IT is said that MT. Duffy, late chief clerk of the Nogales custom house, thinks an invidious distinction has been made in his case, and that he was sacrificed as scapegOat for the sins Os others. He cannot see why he should have been fired for snug gling carpet when one of his official associates smuggled three and nothing was said about it.. TIE OASIS.
 The above is not true. MT Duffy does not know that any of his fellow officers "smuggledN carpet: and Mr. Duffy denies ever having "Smuggled' carpet or anything else. His cal0es was brought across the line in broad daylight, and because he believed he had the privilege of so doing; snch a fact having been told him sometime previously by a superior officer Ni- dette.
 The tenuity of the foregoing is not at all remal kable when one recalls how utterly transparent are all the crowd in whose interest it was put forth. That MT Waggstaff formerly special agent Of the treasury depart ment, who is superior officer meant, is fool was never charged by his worst enemy: and none but fool would have ever told MT. Duffy anyone else anything of the kind.
 It has been the custom of the pre- sent custom house crowd to lay to the former special agent MT. Waggstaffl all their various shortcomings. Every thing they have done which they shouldn't they have invariably laid to to Waggstatfis advice. Now those who know that gentleman deny that he ever told them any of the many things they say he did.
 But if he did it is only an evidence of what chumps they are. They had the law before them, and they could not nor cannot point to word nor line therein which makes an excep- tion of custom house official in pay ment of duties or puts his foreign purchases on the free list. Mir. Duffy's carpet was brought across the line in broad daylight because at that time the entire custom house crowd were bringing across things in that way without paying duty. And they had the gall to tell folks they had right to do so, and say Mr. WaggstalI told them so.
