MEDIATION.

The situation does not seem to be i'm
proving for the Greeks. On the contrary
it is decidedly discouraging and the end
is not in sight. The Turkish army &C.
cording to the press dispatches of yester-
day, has commenced long anticipated
advance upon the Greek capital, which is
but poorly defended. With Athens once
in the hands of the victorious Turks, there
would be not even slight possibility of
Greek success, and the sultan would prob
ably conclude a peace upon his own
terms. Such settlement would no doubt
involve valuable Observation-Disclosures
sions that would cripple the kingdom be-
yond hope of further hostiities.
Meanwhile the promised mediation of
the powers, seems to be confined to a
great deal of idle talk. Mass meetings
have been held, much talk INDUCED in,
and diplomacy on the whole has been
made to ride a bucking hobby horse for
the edifcation of gazing world. If
mediation is to be offered at all, it would
seem we'll enough to formulate plan
and provide for its acceptance some
time before Greece has been placed en-
tirely at the mercy of Turkey by the dic
tation of victorious arms. Another week
or so and mediation will be of no posi-
BILE use in the contention now under way.
If the other nations are to offer their
good Offices in bringing about peace
bet ween Turkey and Greece they should
act promptly.

recurrence OF which, suggests to the ris-
ing generation, undying examples of the
noblest patriotism and heroism. 1t is
eminently proper that on this day, the
veterans of that great army which re-
sponded to the call to arms for the
preservation of the Union, should gather
for impressive cere monies around the
graves of those who have answered to
their last roll call. Every old soldier
should attend. 1t is duty that he owes
to his companions, and to the rising
generation, no less than to his dead COM
rades who have passed on to land where
there is no war. And then from another,
though no less important standpoint,
the sentiment is worth cherishing and
keeping alive in the hearts of those whose
duty it will be to uphold the noble in
heritance of these dead heroes-the COM
ing soldiers and defenders of the nation.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.

A novel experiment with bicycles is
about to be made by an army officer with
the permission of the secretary of war;
for the purpose of testing the adaptable
ty of the wheel for military purposes. A
lieutenant with 90 picked men, all pri.
Yates, will make trip from somewhere
il Montana to St. Louisa distance of
over 5000 miles.
Secretary Alger did not look with favor
upon the project at first, notwithstanding
the fact that it had received the hearty
Endorsement of General Miles, himself an
enthusiastic wheelman. Then the lieuten-
ant got the general to modify the recon-
mendation somewhat, and in an amended
form it was put before the secretary of
war, who approved of the experiment and
gave the necessary orders for carrying it
into effect.
The men will carry light equipment and
rations, the latter to be distributed at
stations along the proposed route, to be
designated by the officer in charge.

THAT RIO CRANDE DAM.

"The statements contained in News
special from Washington, published on
Sunday morning, in regard to the inter
national dam in the Rio Grande above Ell
Paso are absolutely startling" says the
Denver News. This enterprise has long
been urged by residents of Ell Paso and
vicinity on both sides of the boundary
between Mexico and the United States.
It was proposed to construct an immense
dam at point on the river about 1876
miles above Ell Paso, with perhaps the
largest reservoir in the world, and from
this to secure certain supply of water
for the irrigation of the rich valley which
extends for miles down the river and on
both sides thereof. 1t WAS legitimate
and magnificent scheme, in which the
people of both republics we're equally
concerned. Capital was at last interested,
the appreciation Of the United States
government was secured through Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior, and it
has always been understood that the
Mexican government had given it's assent
also. Work on the dam has been in
progress for some two years, British
capitalists having put up the money.
1t would now appear that the Mexican
government had made kick, and that at
the instigation of the state department.,
Attorney. General McKenna had made an
order for the confscation of the whole
work, and the civil and criminal proseou-
ton of the parties engaged therein. This
decision raises some very important
questions, among which are the follow
ing: Ia not the United States bound by
the act of the secretary of the interior'
II so, cannot Great Britain interfere for
the protection of her citizens who have
put up money on the faith of an official
act of cabinet minister! What right
has the state or war departments to in
terfere with an act of the interior depart.
ment, the dam and reservoir being wholly
in American territory! 1t being fact
that the Rio Grande is not navigable
stream at FL Paso, and does not become
an international stream until it passes Ell
Paso, what right has Mexico to enter q
protest at this late day, and after tacitly
at least permitting the expenditure of q
large sum of money on the dam!
All of these questions involve interna-
tional consideration, and their Anal de-
termination will be awaited with no
small degree of interest.

THE ARIZONA KICKER
THE EDITOR PLAYS POKER WITH A
HIGHWAY ROBBER.

Hold Up Follows a Hold Up-William
Wise, the Wild Mule Whacker, Becomes
Wiser Man-No More Bicycles For the
Able Editor-The Popular Play.
In returning from Red Earth valley the
other afternoon we were stopped at Buck
shot creek by an ugly faced critter who
commanded us to shell out. As he had
the drop on us, we handed over our per-
sonal effects with promptness and dispatch.
He was about to ride away when we pro-
posed game of poker, and the idea struck
him favorably. The two of us sat down
on the grass and started in, and at the end
of 40 minutes we had won back our valu
ables and had him dead broke. On the last
hand out we held only pair of kings, and
we knew from the run of the cards that
he had full house with ace high, and yet
we bluffed him out of his horse and guns
He was mean looking cuss, and he had
no soruples about robbing us, but he was
man of his word. He made no kick
about being cleaned out, and there was
something like tear in his eye as he asked
us If we knew where he could strike job
at dollar day. We don't see how he
can get another start in the highway rob-
berry business this fall, and we have con-
siderable hopes that being cleaned out will
lead to his reformation and salvation.

unwisa William Wise.

Colonel Sinclair's wagon train arrived
from the railroad Wednesday afternoon,
and at about O'Clock his honor the may
or, who is ourself, received word from a
mule whaoker named William Wise that
he proposed to capture the town at 6
O'Clock. Mr.. Wise hadn't allowed for any
change in Giveadam Guloh in the last five
years. He figured that things were just
as they used to be, when lone duffer
could ride into town with boot, shoot
right and left with a yell and in the course
of ten minutes have the streets to himself
and something to brag about for the rest
of his life. We were ready, in company
with the CITY marshal, at five minutes to g..
At exactly 6 O'Clock William Wise came
down the river road like a cyclone, hair
flying, gun in either hand and war
whoop on the end of his tongue. At five
minutes after his cayuse was dead in the
road and William was in the town lookup
and wondering where he was at. Next
morning he was fined SIS and his guns
were confscated, and when he walked off
he kept looking behind him and trying ia
make out how things had happened that
way. Any other duffer who feels like cap
turing the town is invited to communicate
with us by mail or personal interview.
