AFTER THE sPolLs.

 HANKERING AFTER THE sPoILs.
 The editor of the JOurnal-Miner who wants federal appointment has concluded that the only way to make favor with the powers that be is to favor carpet bag government for the Territory.
 He well knows that home rule is just and the best for the people. He also knows that more than nine-ten of the citizens of Arizona are clamor- ing for it, regardless of politics, but he overlooks the peoples welfare and freedom in his setishness for place or position.
 He doesn't possess the nerve to di- rectly oppose the home rule movement in the midst of an outraged and down. troaden people who have been robbed of their hard earnings by irresponsi- ble officials until the citizens and tax payers are driven to desperation.
 Last week we stated in an editorial that the substance of the home rule bill is to give the citizens of Arizona the right to elect the Territorial off cers and the district judges. The editor of the Journal-Miner quoted the above from our editorial and says: ''If the editorial attorney will dive into his law books, he will find that the district judges are United States officials, and hence, could not, under any home rule bill, be made elective" We said nothing about United States district judges, and the language used would not bear out such con- struction, but our definition of home rule was so plain, true and just that it was indisputable and the Journal Miner saw the force of it and placed q false construction on the words '.dis- trict judges" hoping thereby to please the bosses.
 There is no question about the le- gality of providing for the election of district, circuit or superior judges for the Territory in the home rule bill, notwithstanding the legal a,umen of the Journal Miner to the contrary, and these judges are as important or more so to the taxpayers and citizens than the territorial officers and they should be elective.
 The Journal-Miner says: "The fact is that there are only two offices at present that are appointed by the President which could be made cleo tive under home rule. They are the governor and secretary. That is the extent of the home rule agitation. :" The above may be true for tbers may bc pothipg left for 2 territorial treas. prer 10 handle. ! ,lf the Journal Miner will osfy kesp sill asd not raise . constisntiAeAI question we would suggest that the following officers be made elective under the home rule oil, towii: Gov ernor, Secretary, Auditor. Treasurer, Attorney-General, School Superin- tendent and sufficient number of district or circuit judges for the Ter. ritory.
 To talk about a one mans govern ment when the editor of the Journal Miner is liberal enough to give us two. His generosity in this matter is SC great that the people of Arizons should fall down and worship him. His charity is unbounded He is will ing to give us governor and secre ] tary, provided he can't prevent con gress from passing home rule bill.

A Successful End to "A Dream.

FROM the chicago Dispatch
Eugene Lewis of Belleville died last De-

street. She had an idea that he ought to
have left her some ready cash. but he
DIDN'T. or at least. not that she knew of.
Not long ago she had a queer dream. She
dreamt that he came to her and told her
he had some gold buried in the back yard
She studied over the matter for some time
ard suddenly remembered that one evening
shortly before his death he had walked
with her into the back yard and pointed
at a certain place with his cane. She at
once went and dug at the place as near as
she could remember. but there was moth
ing to reward her search. One night about
n week ago she had another dream and
this time her husband went and stood on
certain spot in the shed In the back yard
She said nothing to any one but went and
dug at the spot and was rewarded by find

A NIGHT ON MT. RAINIER.
Melting Snow by the Steam Rising
From the Crater.

From Scribner's.
Throwing off the life lire, which has be-
come almost an intolerable burden, I scaled
the pile of bare rocks and gained the rim
of the crater. The great bowl within was
deeply filled with snow. but the black cir
Gle forming its rim could be distinctly trac-
ed. Descending the inner slope for about
hundred feet l found a place where
steam was Kissing from crevice in the
rocks, and warmed my benumbed fingers.
Soon my companions Joined ME and we
took refuge In one of the many caverns
that the heat of the rocks and of the es-
Gaping steam had melted in the lower por-
ton OF the snow and ice partially filling
the crater. In these weird caverns one
may descend far beyond the light of day
The white vapors drifting silently through
the dimly lighted passages assume gro
tesque shapes and suggest to the imagina-
tive visitor that spirits of the time when
Piutos reign was supreme there make
their homes.
By melting snow in our tin cups over the
cracks from which steam was issuing we
soon had water enough with which to pre-
pare tea In the absence of sugar and
cream. a little alcohol from the supply
brought for fuel was added to each Gun
and proved welcome Stimulant. Making
ourselves as comfortable as possible under
the circumstances we passed the night In
the cavern of Ice. There were no lodges
broad enough to lie down on and we we-a
forced to stand or crouch against the hot
rocks all night. The floor of our cavern
sloped steeply and led down to an ugly
opening of unknown depth. between the
descending roof Of ice and the rocks To
guard against accidents the life line was
stretched across the cavern and made fast
to crags. This proved wise precaution,

Eeuniting Families rs n gids Issue In
Its business.
The pension Office, besides examin.
ing into pension claims and passing
on them, does an enormous amount of
other business in the way of uniting
and reuniting families-we find hus-
bands for wives, wives for husbands,
parents for children and children for
parents, says the Washington Star.
enAy recently case came under my
observation which illustrates my mean
ing and tits a sample Of number OF
others. An application was received
from lady who applied for widows
pension. She gave the name of her
husband, his service, company and
regiment. In looking into the claim
1t was found that the husband was
alive and drawing pension through
the pension agency at Chicago. The
woman, who resides in Massachusetts,
was SO informed. Immediately came
reply from her asking the address
OF the man, which was furnished. A
correspondence ensued between them
that they were on the right track they
and when they were satisfied thai
arranged meeting. The man thought
that his wife had died and at the close
of the war entered the regular army
and went west. The woman, not hear
ing from the man, became convinced
that he had been killed or had died.
She was unofficially informed that he
had died in hospital and supposed
1t was fact. In the meantime she
had married again. Her second hus-
band had died and had been dead over
ten years when she applied for pen
sion. Another case / call to mind is
that of a soldier who originally lived
at Niagara Falls. He went in the army
and served under Sherman. At the
close of the war he settled in New
Orleans. He had positive information
that his wife had died, but he never
was able to get any information
| as to what had become of his three
children, except that they had been
sent to an orphan asylum. He did not
know in what state the orphan asy-
lum was located. Neither did the chill
/ dren know whether their father was
dead or alive, though from what they
| had been able to pick up in the way
of information from time to time they
| had concluded he had passed to The
other side. 1t happened that the
daughter of the soldier not only grew
up to be beautiful woman but had
married wealthy man. She wrote
the war department to learn of the
whereabouts of her fathers grave, but
there was no record of it. She then
wrote to the pension Office for the adj
dress of man she had heard served
with her father and who at one time
lived at Niagara Falls. The ending
of it all was that the children found
The father and the father found his
children. There are hundreds of such
cases, though. of course. the number
OF them is becoming smaller as time
passes.

seIee on Umpire Question.

Manager Selee, of the Boston Club,
said, in recently expressing his views
on the umpire question: The fact is,
the players size up an umpire quickly,
and know with whom they can take
liberties. II they see that an umpire is
lax in his efforts to maintain discipline
on the ball field, they take advantage
OF his weakness and make his life a
burden, but IL they discover that the
umpire IS master of the field in all that
the term implies, they take that fact
into consideration at once and think
twice before they offend. More sand
and backbone all along the line of UNI
pires is what is needed rather than any
radical change in the rules, which now
give an umpire ample authority to
make the game run along smoothly
