A "Reminiscences of INLAND.

l once came myself in personal contact
with INLAND, tho head of the Swabian
school of poetry, when he was already an
old man. He came to Leipsic when l was
q student there, and staid at the house OF
Professor Haupt, the famous Latin and
German scholar. INLAND was u very shy
and retiring man, and had declined every
kind of public reception. However, the
young students would not be Rainsaid,
and after assembling in the afternoon to
consider what should be done to show their
respect to the German poet and the liberal
German politician they marched off, some
600 or 800 of them, drew up in front of the
house where they knew INLAND was stay
ing and sang some of Uhland's songs.
At last INLAND, little, old, wrinkled
man, appeared at the window and expect
ed evidently that some one should address
him. But no arrangements had been
made, and no one ventured to speak, fear
ing that at the same time two or three
others might step forward to address the
old poet. After waiting a considerable
time the position became so trying that l
could hear it no longer. l stepped for
ward, and in n few words told INLAND
how he was loved by us as IA poet, as IA
scholar and as a fearless defender of the
rights of the people, and how proud we
were to have him among us. We then
waited to hear him speak, but he could not
overcome his shyness and sent message
to ask some of us to come into his room to
shake hands with him. Even then he
could say hut very little but when lie
knew that was the son of his old friend,
Wilhelm Muller, he was pleased To me it

The French Middle Glass.

The particular spirit of the middle class
became the general spirit of the govern
ment 1t ruled the latter IS foreign policy
as we'll as affairs at home; an active, in
dustrious spirit often dishonorable, gen
orally sober, occasionally reckless through
vanity or egoism, but timid by teInpcra-
ment, moderate in all things, except in its
love of ease and comfort, and wholly un-
distinguished. 1t was IA spirit which, min
ged with that of tho people or of the arts
tocracy, can do wonders, but which by it
self will never produce more than a gov
ernment shorn of both virtue and great

that no aristocracy had ever been or may
ever hope to be, the middle class, when
called upon to assume the government,
took it up as trade. 1t enriched itself be

General Porter Tells of n Romancing In
dian Fighter In the War.
An old officer who was passing by, an
acquaintance of the general, now stepped
up to the group. lie had recently been or
dered in from the plains, and his wild
tales of red handed slaughter in the land
of the savages had already made him
known in the army as the "Injun slayer"
An aid remarked to him, "Woll, as you've
been spelling for fight ever since you
Joined this army, how did yesterdays set to
strike you by way of a skirmishH"
"Oh," was the reply, "yov had large
numbers engaged and heavy losses, but it
wasn't the picturesque, desperate hand to
hand fighting that you sec when you re
among the Injuns. "
"No, but we got in some pretty neat
work on the white man" said the aid.
Eyes, but it didn't compare with the
time the Nez Perces and the Shoshone
tribes had their big battle" continued the
veteran.
"Why, how was that" cried all present
in chorus.
"Well you see" explained the narrator,
first the Nez Perces set up yell louder
than a blast of Gabriel's trumpet and
charged straight across the valley, but the
Shoshones stood their ground without
budging an inch, and pretty soon they
won't for the Nez Perces and drove 'em
back again. AS soon as the Nez Perces
could catch their breath they took another
turn at the Shoshones and showed them
back tn just about where they started
from. BY this time the ground between
em was so covered by the killed and
wounded that you couldn't see as much as
blade of grass, but still they kept on
charging back and forth across that val
ley, and they moved so fast that when
their lines of battle passed me the wind
they made was so strong that l had to
hold my hat on with both hands, and once
l camo mighty near being blown clear off
my feet"
"Why, where were you all this timer"
asked several voices.
"Oh," said he, ~ was standing on Il lit

ing on.
"Why," remarked an officer, 81 should
think they would have killed you in the

Then the face of the veteran Of the
plains assumed an air of offended inno-
cence, and in tone of voice which made
it painfully evident that he felt the hurt
he said: "What-the Injuns? Lord, they
all knew me. -

HOPE FOR TUCSON.

The leading meat markets of Tucson have entered into an agreement t0 close their doors on Sunday, begin ming with next month. This is right and shows these gentlemen are prompted with spirit which reflects credit upon them. and the Star sug- gests that every citizen who believes in the proper observance of the Sab bath should patronize these gentle men who have led the way in show ing respect to the established custom of we'll ordered communities-Star
 Here is fresh evidence of the Stars desire to make Tucson truly good town. It halls the action of ''the leading meat markets" as a ray of light in a generally gloomy hori- not observe Sunday until next month does not detract in any way from the victory of the Star. The fact that they are allowed to specify the time of their complete surrender indicates clearly enough their submission to the inevitable. The Star is to be congratulated With the Tucson churches open and the meat markets closed on Sunday it follows that there will be an increase in the supply of food for reflection. When the aver age Tucsonite begins to reflect on his course the angels assuredly will prick up their ears. We suggest to the Star that it now tackle the saloons and other purveyors of supplies, wet and dry, and thus gradually dry up the sources of the opposition to ''the es- tablished custom of we'll ordered con- munities." With perseverance the Star may in a year or two be able to convince the citizens of Tucson that fcrgers and "rounders" are not de- sirable persons to represent them on their board of supervisors or in the territorial council tfEyerythine comes to him who waits," and We may yet be able to announce that Tucson has undergone a complete reforma- | tion.

FIRST IN FINANCE.

The following from the Chicago Times-Herald makes interesting read ing:
 With the rapid assumption of the first place in everything else the United States has assumed the first place in financial importance. This is pointed out by a writer in Rand NIcNally's Bankers Monthly, who quotes from MulhaH to show the wealth and banking ability of the that the United States is the wealth. fest nation in the world, it's wealth being nearly fifty per cent greater than that of Great B it. ain and twice that of Germany; but the importance of the American banks is not so well known The summary of the banking strength of the various nations, as given by Null hall, is as follows:
 United States ..... -. .$5, ,150, ,000, 900 Great Britain 4,550,O00 900 France .. =. .. 1,340 000, 900 Germany ..... =. .... 1,150, ,000. .000
 It is noticeable that this great gain in financial importance was made since the "crime of 1S73." In 1870 the banking capital of the United States was $2,40O, 100000, while that of Great Britain was s3,60O, ,OOO. GOO. But dur ing the intervening years, since the demonstration of silver, the United States has gained 100 per cent, while the gain of Great Britain was but slightly more than 9 per cent.
 One Of the most significant signs of Americas gradual gam in financial power and it's rapid increase since the defeat of Bryanism is that American securities are being bought in . the English market by Americans. This is sign of increased pros perity and of an even greater contin- uance of our growth in financial i'm portance. With a sound currency system there IS no doubt that the star of financial empire. which has al- ready moved west, will have this country as it's admitted location. and that in another generation the money market of the world may be the United States, just as it now is Eng land.

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the Editor of the Prescott Cou~- ier-Sir: I began reading several years ago your masterly attacks (no joke) on the taxless railroad that runs through your overtaxed town, and hope that your efforts to tax that un- taxed cormOrant have met with the full taxable measure of success they deserved. Not having seen a copy of the Courier for some time I would be glad if you would inform me if the fight is over and the taxless has become taxable, or whether the be- nighted inhabitants of Arizona have refused to accept your progressive views. If you haven't time to write please send me a copy of your paper that 1 may judge for myself. I do not enclose stamp for the reason that the last administration abolished the postoflice here.
