AFTER being filled for weeks with glowing accounts of the Queen's Jubilee, the papers of both continents, with natural reaction, give room to the grumbles and growls the size and number of which are in accord with the size of the Jubilee. Asking enormous prices for their seats, the spectators did not dispose of many of them, and grumble that they lost money thereby: People went a-sight-seeing and not shopping, and the shop-keepers growl that there was so little buying. And then when one gets so tired with sight seeing that one isn't hungry, of course the restaurant men have good grounds for grumble too, and when thou sand collins are made ready for the victims of the numerous expected accidents Gas was actually done by one undertaker) and the accidents didn't occur-well really there does seem to be good cause for all this growing; and one may believe that it isn't so bad after all to live where they don't even celebrate the Fourth of July. But the other side of the picture shows the Americans so much in evidence at the Jubilee that our English cousins should not let it be seen how eager they were to relieve them of their money, and that they had anticipated so large harvest from the Yankees 2 And then, too, helatest dispatches tell tlfat the Prince of Wales has started new style of hat-cause for another jubilee. But then there is no satisfy ing soine people.

TIE three Ohio men whom President Mckinley has named for Associate Jus tices of the Supreme Court of Arizona ought to beable to stand of the Chief Jus tice from Minnesota. But the Chief Jus tiee is all right, and the people of Ari- zona, irrespective of party, will stand by him as long as he shows disposition to do right.

CONSIDERING the villainous charges that have gone to Washington against so many applicants for office in Ari- zona, the President is not far wrong in naming some of his appointees from outside the Territory. It is not to be wondered at that the eastern opinion of us is that we are tough lot. But it is now charged that one of the for eign judges recently named is as tough as any of us. This is wicked world.

THE neighbors and friends of Judge Fletcher M. Dsan, with one accord, ex- tend to him their warmest congratula- tions over his appointihent as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Ari- zona, which was made by the President last Saturday. He and his estimable family have been residents of Florence for number of years and are held in the highest esteem. It is the firm belief of the TRIBUNE that Judge Doan will prove a credit to the bench.

A prayer ought to be a solemn thir

A prayer ought to be solemn thing. It was anything but solemn in the senate a day or two ago, says the Washington Post. Rev. Hugh John ston, of that city, was the acting chap lain. In the course of his speech he thanked God for the glorious era of prosperity which was sweeping over the country. Senator Jones, of Arkan- sas, whose head was reverently bent, smiled as these words fell upon his ear
 He could not help it. Senator Vest almost laughed out loud. All the Democrats were visibly amused; nor was there sober face among the Re publicans. It was quite evident that the senators regarded the clergyman's gratitude as being little premature.

As the Pinal County Republi- can convention had adopted resolutions which went further in advocating "silver monometallism" than anything attempted by the opposition, Evans was prevented from speaking by the worthy gentlemen who were trying to perpetrate fraud on the people.

The Declaration of Independence Saved
 by Woman.


 In historical article recalling the destruction of our National capital by the British force, in 1914 Clifford How ard in the July Ladies Home Journal will show that Dolly Madison, the most beloved and popular woman of her day, was courageous and fearless in the face of grave danger. In the mad stampede from Washington that preceded the invasion by the British troops, Dolly Madison was the last to seek safety in flight, and her final act before quitting the White House, as the enemy advanc- ed, was to seize the Delaration of Inde- pendence and carry it with her to a place of safety. As the White House was immediately afterwards footed and burned by the British, Mr. Howard declares that but for brave Dolly Madison the priceless parchment would have been destroyed.
