STAND UP FOR ARIZONA.
PHENIx. FEBRUARY 4. 1896.
LET MIR. BAYARD ALONE.

There is no need for the house of representative to waste any time over Ambassador Bayard The fulfllment of the promise. of "mild rebuke' for the ambassador would meet the case. Any other action would make a mar tyr of him, and that would be in poor taste. He has explained his speeches and the people of the United States take that explanation for what it is worth. To be sure, MT. Bayard's state ment really explained nothing, yet it put him in the true position before his own countrymen. He has had pun ishment enough by being compelled to admit that he does not feel capable of revising the report of his Boston speech, which was made in an atmos- phere of postgrandial humor-and English humor at that-and which a reporter, probably hidden upder the table, recorded. and gave to the world. When man of MT. Bayard's tenn perament is compelled to explain, enough has been done.
 Now story comes from Washington that member of congress from Penn ;sylvania proposes to introduce an amendment to the appropriation bill providing for cutting off the appropria- tion for MT. Bayard's salary. That is foolish and senseless buncombe at best It would be better fo. pay him his sal- ary in advance up to March 4, 1897 and then ask him to give a receipt and come home. That would be far more reasonable The matter, however, has gone far enough.
 MT Bayard has replied to the quer- -ies of the house and his letters have been printed in the Congressional Record. There they will s.. stand in black and white in the governments archives until the end of time. When future historians write of the ambas- sador's public services they will find some interesting material in the Rec ord for a chapter in which to tell how the first citizens of Delaware" talked too much while in London. MT. Bay ard is not the first public man who talked too much and he will not be the last. His harsh and unfriendly criti- cism of his own people will do them no harm. His words became boom erang, thanks to an unknown reporter, and the ambassador was hit harder than ''my people,

 It is hardly fair for the Democratic party leaders to heap abuse upon the president and hold the rest of the par 'fty guiltless. The party purposely formulated platform which could be Interpreted in any way to suit the oc- casion and now these men who helpe to frame that document are finding fault with the president for putting upon 1t the ccnstructioa which best suits his purpose. They built a plat- form which meant all things or noth. ing, for the purpose of coaching votes. They got the votes they were after; what more do they want? If they really favor any particular policy, as some of them now pretend, let them make platform in accordance with that policy and nominate a man known to be in sympathy with it. This is the proper course, not only for the Demo- cratic party, but for every other party.

ABSURD STAGE DEATHS.
Nature Outrageously Violated Instead o1
 Being Shown a Mirror.

Nature Outrageously Violated Instead of
 Being Shown a Mirror.
 A French dramatic critic, with some show of medical knowledge, represents that nearly all actors and actresses outfageously violate nature in their limitations of death, says the Baltimore Gazette. He cites, in corroboration of his charge, the customary theatrical death of Camille, in the younger Du- mas favorite emotional play of that title. According to the author, his heroine is affected with pulmonary con- sumption, and an incidental attack of hemorrhage of the lungs extinguishes her life. There is absolutely nothing dramatic to be made out of this mode of dying, if fidelity to fact be obeyed. The gushing of a stream of blood from the mouth would be realistic, but the imitation of such phenomenon is never made by actors, male or female, nor would any discreet manager tol- crate such a piece of stage business. Again, the overwhelming sutfocation which produces the rapid death in Camille's case is never accompanied by convulsions, such as her dying repre- sentatives on the stage almost always assume. In natural death from this cause the sufferer simply collapses from failure of the vital powers.
 Theatrical poisoning scenes are also usually untrue to nature. It is popu- larly believed that when fatal dose of laudanum or morphine is swallowed the victim immediately sinks into a deathlike sleep, as is commonly seen on the stage, whereas the first effect of this poison taken in like quantity is in- variably to excite and enliven. Nor is

or TO the safety of such American citizens

If the resolution finally becomes law IT
Is difficult see how this government could
communicate such action officially to the
Cuban authorities, either civil or military.
They are without free communication with
the outer world and no representative OF
this government could reach them without
passing through the Spanish lines or with
out smuggling themselves through in the
manner of filibusterS. Even when through
the Spanish lines, they would undoubtedly
find that the Cubans have no civil govern
ment in existence. In short. there is moth
ing in the condition of affairs in the Island
of Cuba to warrant the claim that they are
Independent in any sense of the word. The
resolution therefore is mere idle vaporing.
unless the United States is prepared TO
back it up by an alliance with the Cubans
by providing them with such arms and
fleets as will enable them TO destroy the
Spanish power in the island and expel the
Spanish armies therefrom. In other words.
If the Cameron resolution does not mean
war ii does not mean anything. Members
of both houses of Congress are receiving
letters and kilograms from business men
and business interests of the States and
districts which they represent, protesting
against any action calculated to bring on
war between the United States and Spain
at this time.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 20.-Henry
Koehler, of New Goshen, asked the police
to help find his wife, who has wandered
away in her insane belief that she can find
her child to whose death she cannot be
reconciied. Some weeks ago. while living
near indianapolis, the two-year-old child
died After the father and mother removed

on the subject. The child was buried in a
cemetery near the National road few
miles west of Indianapolis. She was last
seen going in that direction on Main street
in this city. which is the continuation OF
the National road. The fact that Mrs.
Koehler had repeatedly said that she
wanted TO visit the cemetery caused Mr..

that city says he can find no evidence OF
the arrival there of his wife.
