Yes sir.
And, by the way, you needn't bother
so much about Mr.. Jaykins. He always
pays cash, and when he takes anything
he knows he can't get his money back.
But be very careful about Mr.. Faykins.

High Principle.

Woman, said she, is actuated by
principle and not by the sordid business
instincts that dominate man.
That explains, said he, why she will
spend thirty cents in car fare to save two
at bargain sale. The principle of the
thing, you know.
She shifted a sneering snort.

The Republican says: "A move ment is under way to secure the pardon of Lawrence M. Lemon, who is serv. ing an eight. year sentence at Yuma for manslaughter." Lemon is son of A. D. Lemon, of San Francisco, who was formerly district attorney of Maricopa county, and partner of the late J. D. McCabe, of Globe. The crime of which young Lemon was convicted was an atrocious one, aRd he should have gone to the gallows instead of to prison. Lemon, who professed friend ship for Thomas Shenn, of Harshaw, first destroyed Shean's domestic hap piness by forming liaison with the latter's wife, and then when his perfdy was discovered he shot Shean down in cold blood. The evidence adduced at the trial revealed no extenuating cir cumstances.

According to Section 40 of the new stock law, if stockmen on a roundup slaughter an animal for their own use, they are required to keep the hide with the ears attached, for the period of twenty-one days. This is little tough on some of the stockmen of Gils county whose ranges are in the mountains where wagons cannot be used, and sup plies have to be packed on the backs of horses or mules. The law reads ''the hide with ear. marks attached must be retained in his or their possession for twenty-one days;" therefore the hide would have to be carried around or else it would have to be inspected and tagged and twenty-five cents paid therefor. Any person violating this provision is liable to fine of two hundred dollars.

The opinion expressed by the Florence Tribune that we owe speaker D. G Chalmers an apology for our being SC "thick headed" as not to appreciate hi, fine vein of humor in having intro. duced the bill to make the publication of newspapers felony, reminds us oi a story. Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio. and Davy Crockett, of Tennessee, were members of Congress at the same time. A menagerie had come to Washington and was visited by members of Con- gress, Crockett and Giddings among the number. Davy Crockett standing in front of a cage containing a comical yisaged baboon, asked a companion Doesn't that baboon resemble my friend Giddings"? Turning his head Crockett was surprised to see Giddings looking over his shoulder, and in we'll simulated confusion, he said: ''An apology is due here-but I am at loss to know who to apologize to, Giddings or the baboon." We leave it to Mir. Reppy to apply the illustration.

There is a mistaken impression among some classes of our foreign born citizens that the native-born son of an alien is not citizen. In the case of foreign official, as Consul, his child born in this country is not citizen of the United States, but in the case of an alien who makes his home here. and whose child continues a resident, no naturalization is necessary, for the son, in virtue of birth, is an American citizen.

KNOWN BY THE FRUIT.

The prophecy of the psalmist that the stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner is agaIn verified in the history of the Salvation Army. Despised and ridiculed by the ''holier-than-thou" religious organiza- tions, the Salvation Army has perse- vered in it's good work unmindful of the jeers and opposition of the Pharisees.
 Its work has been among the poor and destitute, the fallen men and women, and its success is as deserved as it is pronounced. The past winter it has fed and given shelter to thou sands of destitute people in our cities. It has established homes for fallen women and waifs, and prison gate homes where the released convict, summed by his unfeeling fellow man, finds shelter, comfort and encourage ment to renew life's battle with earnest, hopeful purpose Their charity is of the kind that gives the outcast and dis couraged opportunity to work out his own salvation and become self-reliant.
 The old church organizations have for the most part become great aristo- cratic trusts, surrounded by an atmos- phsre that repels the classes whom it was Christ's mission to save. The programme is reversed in our day. The rich have the gospel preached to them and the poor may gather few of the crumbs by sneaking into the gallery and listening to the learned discourse of the high salaried divine as the flowers of rhetoric are waited up to him over the heads of the Pharisees and hypocrits in their richly uphol- stered pews, adorned Tn fine raiment and bedecked in jewels. What Q travesty on the teachings of Christ!

The Tucson Star says: "The board of regents of the university are con- tenplating the completion of the dor mitory by the addition of another wing of about twenty rooms, similar in architecture to the present wing, also some general repairs to the other buildings" In order to secure funds with which to carry on the extravagant and unlawful improvements to the university at the expense of the terri tory, bill was got through the legis- lature transferring $7000 from the general fund of the territory to the university fund, which is itself an illegal act. The question of legality, however, cuts no ice with an Arizona legislature nor with the men who have control of our public institutions.

John J. Ingalls, description of the Fitzsimmons- Corbett mill marks re- freshing departure in the reporting of prize fights. Related in terse English, free from the coarse vernacular of the ring, and with desire to picture the spectacle as it appeared to one free from sympathy or prejudice for the coinbatants, Ingalls, narrative was in- teresting as well as unique. In his eyes there was nothing heroic in the contest. As gladatorial combat, whose participants were "butchered to make Roman holiday" it was de- fective. The impression left on the mind from reading Ingalls, comments is that the affair was hippodrome. The fight may or may not have been on the square, but the conclusion re- mains that the spectators who travelled hundreds and thousands of miles and paid $40 apiece for seats to witness the battle of the giants, were dupes, just as much 80 as though they had bet on n shell game. It is charged in a late press dispatch that Corbett could have knocked ont his opponent in tue sixth round, but was bound by the agreement hotween the managers and the kinetoscope people to have the fight last ten rounds. The receipts of the exhibition amounted to $l05,00O. It was great haul, if not great display of science of the manly art.

The passing of Cleveland is marked by the discontinuance of the very un- American custom of surrounding the presidents person with policemen. During the past four years Czar Cleve- land has been guarded day and night by Q gordon of hawkshaws. They watched his going and his coming, wherever duty or pleasure called him, whether to a banquet of Wall street shylocks or a duck hunt. Whenever he made the trip to Buzzard's Bay government detectives accompanied him, and in New York the metropolitan police force was called on to help pro- tect him. No one was permitted to approach his august person without a satisfactory explanation. Even at re- captions two muscular individuals were there to guard the royal presence. Twen.y-four policemen did sentry duty at the White House while the stuffed prophet slumbered, and perchance snored. What an admirable ground work for thespiau comedy or an opera bouife What a contrast to the democratic simplicity of our fore fathers time! Shade of the immortal Jefferson foreiend us! President Mo- Kinley, like sensible man, has done away with this burlesqne of imper- ialism.

The Tucson Citizen is responsible for the following: An amusing story is told of Boston tenderfoot who was being escorted into the interior of Sonora, Mexico, few days ago. While taking dinner at Ortiz station he was passed a plato of beans and asked if he would have some frijoles. He took n bountiful supply and asked "what did you say they were? Fri joles replied his friend. After eating some more he remarked: "By gosh If they aint made of beans."
