Practical jokes at best are hardly
satisfactory but TO pile on agony in a
crisis like that of a wedding ceremony
is about the cruelest specimen of that
class imaginable. A member of Il
Rumford Falls firm purchased in an
ticipation of his approaching wedding
a ring to be used in the ceremony and
for safe keeping placed it in the money
drawer. At the time he probably did
not think that there We're others who
had the combination which would en-
able them to open the drawer and ex-
tract the contents; but such We're the
sad facts of the case. 1t so happened
as things will happen some times. that
one of the clerks in the store had occa-
sion to go to the money drawer and
there discovered the ring, wrapped
neatly up in paper of fine quality. Now
this same young man is in for joke
any time the opportunity presents itself
Accordingly he hunted up some putty
and made a ring the size of the one
that was to play an important part in
the wedding ceremony, and wrapped it
neatly in paper. The young man with
the joke substituted the ring of putty
for the ring of gold and the difference
was not discovered until after the
party had started for the place where
the ceremony was to be performed.
There was CONSERVATION for a time, but
matters ended all right.

We are glad to know that Secretary Alger has decided to take no action in the Fort Whipple matter until cit lzens of Arizona who are vitally in- terested shall have been afforded an opportunity to be heard. The secre- tary's reputation for fairness is well borne out by his present attitude
 We are confident that he will not act until all the facts afe in his posses sion. The position he has assumed is in line with the feeling that prevails in Arizona, that while We are wards of the general government and not in a. position to stand up i'm the halls of congress and defend our rights, the president and the heads of depart- ments should be very considerate of the appeals we are obliged to make through outside channels.

THE CASE OF DURRANT.

Young Durrant, prince of criminals "no makes a speciality of Christian EndeaVor young ladies i'm his bloody lime Of business, may be hung by the neck until dead, after all. It's some what surprising, too, after all the qmbbling and red tape and petty b1cker'ings of the defendants lawyers and the various courts the case has graduated from, that the state of Cal 1forn1a makes up its legal mind to nang a man just because he inadve t. ently slaughtered a couple of young girls. Its a traNesty on justice. an imposition on the law abiding and peace lowing members of a common wealth that through a haze of legal technlcalddies, a red handed murderer should be let live in comparative Iuxllry in a cell rendered easy by slmpering female admirers.
 1t has been two years now since he murdered the two young girls-a year per girl. According to the above computation, if he had annihilated fifty Christian Endeavor girls and concealed their bodies in churches. he might have lived in luxury to a ripe old age, and without the haunt ing memory that he might perhaps have to execute little schottische ar tWo-step on nothing, with a hempen necktie adorning his neck

tainly would be unjust 10 this people to dispose of important questions, af- fecting a large area, without the most careful consideration. While it is right and proper to a large degree to recognize the recommendations made by the major general commanding the army, built upon reports received by him from subordinates, the president, the secretary of war and the, secre- tary of the interior should weigh in the most careful manner all such evil dence i'm order that they may detect and make due allowance for irregu- larities and prejudices that may be indulged in and that go to make up the foundation for recommendation
 In this particular case the president has a fine opportunity to evince a de- gree of friendship for the territory that certainly would result very much to the credit of the administration, and it is believed that he will not over look the opportunity.

THE TROUBLES OF AUSTRIA.

The tumultuous proceedings in the
 more race prejlIdices in the kingdom
 of Bohemia to a dangerous degree, as
 the riotimg in Prague and other Bo-
 hemian cities is plainly a,ttesIing. The
 Czech portion of the population of the
 kingdom, which is about two-thirds
 of tIhe whole, has become exasperated
 to the point of violence against the
 Germans and Jews, making up the
 other third, by the course of the Ger
 man members of the Austrian parlia-
 ton of the Czech language and it
 will be fortunate for the Austro- Hun
 garian empire if the disaffection thus
 produced can be checked before it
 spreads to the other states of Fran
 cis Joseph's dominion. The gravity
 of the situation is made apparent by
 the strong measures which the govern
 ment is taking to suppress the anti
 German riots in Prague. Twelve
 thousand soldiers have been sent to
 that city, and vigorous martial law
 proclaimed for the purpose of protect ing the German and Jewish residents
 whose lives and property have been
 assailed by the infuriated Czechs
 The Ge1man element of Bohemia is more intelligent, prosperous and en- terprising than the Slavonic, or Czech element, though the latter will com pare favorably with the average Flu ropean populations. The attacks which have just taken place in Prague in which the Czechs have plundered the luxurious homes Of the German leaders, and broken into the shops of the Jews and carried off valuable jew elry or destroyed works of art in the homes of wealthy Germans, indicate a lower order of morality and intelIi- gence among the Czech masses than among the victims of their wrath, and | give some idea of the horrible nature | of race war, if the insurrection l should be allowed to spread. Bohe- l mia has been the scene of many a race and religious war during the centur- ies i'm which religious passion and | prejudice were devastating Europe.
