An Editor rial Scrimmage.
Birds in their little nests agree,
And it's a shameful sight to see
Editors of one party
Fall out and scratch and fight.


And tits shameful sight to see
Editors of one party
Fall out and scratch and fight.
The row which has been on in the
Republican camp for the past two years
eliminated Friday noon in an attack by
Editor Finch upon Editor Bell. Both had
been attending a meeting in j. B. Dab
ney's Office that vas called to discuss the
immigration convention. Reliable eye
witnesses say that Finch left the room
first and engaged in conversation with
James Stewart, and that as Bell came out
he hurriedly left Mr.. Stewart and followed
Bell and upon getting even with him he
struck the first blow. Finch's card in yes
terday's Oregonian stating that they met
face to face and that it was fair fight
Notwithstanding. The blow sent Bell.
who is much smaller man, out into the
street, Finch following and finally getting
him down and was choking him, like We
have seen his brindle bull pup 60 for a
lame chicken, when Mayor Hood inter-
ferred and under threats OF using his own
fist scared Finch off. Finch was arrested
Saturday and taken before Justice Arnold
where he plead guilty and poverty and
was let off with a fine OF So.
In the causes that led up to the alter
cation the general public have no interest
but they do most emphatically protest
against any such an occurrence as that Of
Friday, and against such ridiculous fine.
1t may be all right for the justice and the
prosecuting attorney to hush the affair up
for the sake OF their party's interest,
and let the offender off with nominal
fine, but it has not been many months
since this same prosecuting attorney, in a
case where the offender had for greater
cause slapped another editor, demanded
that a heavy fine be assessed, ard the
offender, WHO was from outside the Re-
publican camp, was fined $50. The row
here is for supremacy, and to an outsider
it looks as though Finch not succeeding
in his attempt to run the Bulletin out by
merit was taking his spleen out OF the
hide OF its editor On with the dance.

children, the people came over the
housetops like goats across the rocks,
asking us to come and see what they
had. There were a few plump, laugh
ing girls, some old men and the rest
We're women of middle age.
We saw Dicks father, so crippled
that he walks ON his hands, dragging
his legs along the ground. He had a
%reSolute, intelligent and uncomplain-
ing face. We saw a little sick baby,
looking pathetically wan and limp,
and a girl with a badly burned foot.
In II home we came upon an old
woman, old as A gray boulder-old and
thin as a gnarled dead gray cedar tree.
She sat by the open door and held her
head in the streaming glory of NOM
ing sunshine. She had but one gar
ment, and her skinny arms and legs
looked barely human.
| bought a bowl which sat beside her
and put the money into her hand, and

She lifted her head as though this
unusual kindness had given her new
life, and peered at us as if she would
remember us forever. She lifted her
band to be shaken, and | shook it and

lay, and Il slow river crawled by it.
Far away on all sides. great mesas
lowered a thousand feet above the
valley floor.
AS we rose we came again to radiant
viStas of Sunf1owefS, which ran to
great scooped and carved walls Of
sandstone. Pine trees began again,
and grass and flowers, a beautiful
wilderness.
We spent the night in the camp Of a
trader about twelve miles from Zuni.
We were awake at the dawn, and saw
the sun blaze into sudden splendor in
the heavens. All through the cold,
white half-light a coyote cried, utter
ing a liquid, whiStling wall, so sweet
aud wild it made that dawn forever
memorable to Inc.
A young Pin cooked our breakfast, a
Zuni helped him, a Navajo horseman
waited outside. Columbia college was
represented in the doctor, who was
studying the ancient photographs on
the rocks, and II listened In ecstacy
to the mystic, shrill wall of the coyote
and watched the sun flare up the sky,
and thought of this wonderful coming
together of men in the bush.-Hamlin
Garland, in Detroit Free Press.

RACE OF INDIANS

Zuni is not the inaccessible place it
was when Frank Gushing first wrote
Of it. 1t lies forty miles south of Gal
lup, a small town on the Santa Fe
route-an easy days drive.
The road rises steadily for the first
fifteen miles and leaves behind it dry
hills and barren soil with the lower
attitudes. At an elevation of about
5000 feet the trail enters upon a SUI
perb region of pine forest, glorious in
August, with wild asters. ~sunflowers,
gramma grass and wild oats. The
rains had been abundant. and the
whole plateau was deliciously green
and fragrant.
At about 4 o'clock we began to de-
scend. RulleS thickened aroulds u
and the swales became sandy wastes.
A thunder storm was crashing around
Zuni as we came in sight of it, a vel
low-brOwn mound in the center of a
wide valley. Coming fresh from Wal
pi, with its rugged walls and precip-
itous trails. my first glimpse of Zuni
was a disappointment. Then, too,

He Had Sailed Away.

Someone in Washington tells a story
of Henry Labourchere when he was
an attache of the British Legation in
Washington. One day he was sitting
i'll his office, when a rather noisy indl-
vidual came in and asked to see the
minister.
You can't see him. He's gone out.
You must see me-"
Il don't want 10 see you; I want to
see the boss Of the ranch" said the
noisy individual.
"All right" replied Labourchere, go
ing on with his writing. "Take n

The visitor sat and waited for an
hour. Then, with several picturesque
extracts from profane history he in
quired how long the boss would be
gone.

III next morning, as we started to-
ward the village, we met a bright
looking man of middle age, who greet
ed us in a sort Of English. We fell
into talk with him and found him to
be qulck-witted and courteous. He
became u guide in our round of the
village.
"Where are you from?" he asked, as
we walked toward the bridge.
Washington" we replied, because.
to an Indian, any place in the East is
Washington.
Mis- Stim'son, you know herr" he
asked.
~"Stimpson? No, I'm afraid not"
said the doctor.
Mis- Sim'son, she my fiend. She

He means means Mrs. Stevenson,
who writes on Pueblo Matters" said
the doctor. Eyes, we know of Mrs.

Up in the village we found n few
people stirring, but mainly the houses
We're closed. Dick took us into his
own house first, a nicely-whitewashed
room. with some American furniture.
Take chair" Dick insisted, and
would not let the doctor sit on a box.
He was proud of his chairs.
Dicks little children were bright lit
tie scamps, with considerable Zuni
soil on them-good, wholesome dirt,
however. Dick took us back through
small doors into inner rooms, store
rooms, dinly lighted and showed us
old, old treasures. An old war club,
of which he said:
Long time ago Navajo him bad;
him fight Zuni. So war chief he make
I'm club. Mebbe so hit Navajo" He
handed us the club to look at. "No
use 'em any more Navajo no fight
Zuni any more. ALE same trade"
There were also the ceremonial
dresses which the men and women use
in their dances, and old hunting fe-
tiches and old bowls. TOO Old" Dick
called them when he showed them to
us, meaning, of course, very old. Gu
rious places, these store houses, full
of things which epitomized an i'm
mense period Of their lives.
When we saw so few men in the vii
lage we said:
Dick, why aren't you out farming?'
He laughed. ME no farm. Me all
time make beads" He was an artisan,
not a common hand.
Let me see you make beads"
He took us back into the main living
room, and there he laid out a box of
shells, a little bag Of turquoise, a box
Of little disks Clipped out of shells,
and a drill of his own f%ashioning. He
Clipped a disk with his pinchers. Then
with the curious and very well work
ing drill he bored a hole in the disk.
He was very adroit and proud of his
trade.

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain is just now
being pointed out as a hopeful man
who has his eye on the premiership.
He has had the advantage of all Lord
Salisbury's mistakes and of being able
to say the right thing after the latter
has said the wrong one. 1t is he who
secured the transfer of Jameson to
England and who persuaded President
Kruger to follow. These are two
rather remarkable achievements and
have undoubtedly done much to heal
the British soreness over Venezuela
and Turkey.
