There promises to be warm fight in
the senate over the nomination of Ter
renee V. Powderly by the president for
the office of Commissioner of immigra-
ton. Powderly is opposed by the labor
organizations who made known to the
pre sident their opposition before he mace
the nomination. Mckinley probably ia
vored Powderly because he forsook the
silver cause and made republican
speeches last year. Powderly was de-
feated by Sovereign for the presidency
Of the Knights of Labor and since then
has shown his spite in various ways.

which recognized the citizenship of the
Individual, that it--became possible to
work change in the condition of women.
When men were free from serfdom to
feudal lords and became entities of exist
ence, it made each man the head of his
own family. Out of this naturally
evolved the recognition of women who
were forced by one circumstance or an
other to take their place in the govern
ment of the family or in the transaction
of business. The theory that the wife
should be lost under the name of her
husband, and that her property should
be swept away for his benefit, has lorg
since been exploded, and in the state Of
Georgia today the business independ-
ence of women Is almost a fact. A long
step was taken when chartered female
colleges were provided for the education
of the daughters of the land.
But now, a further step is impending in
the establishment of that equality be-
tween the sexes which belongs to the
highest development of their natures
Co-education has for years ben recog-
nized in the public schools of the country
without question the universities and
colleges. most strangely, tagging behind,
and still holding up the bars against the
education Of ambitious women who felt
that they could master the sciences as
well as their brothers.
The fact 'thst the University of Ala
bama has removed the obstruction. to-
gether with the promise that it will soon
be removed from Georgia, are matters of
conera tulation. The field of education.
should be opened TO al alike. for out of
it nothing but good can come.

In his speech presenting the tariff bill
Dirgley regretted that the retroactive
feature was omitted OF course no one
ever believed the retroactive clause
would become law--it would have been
a dangerous precedent. If. Dingley had
really desired to reach the sugar trust
there was a sure way-of doing it-a clause
could have been included putting tax
of one cent pound on sugar refined frem
raw sugar imported prior to the passage
of the act. This would have made the
trust disgorgs s;Neral millions, but
neither the senate nor the house was
brave enough to pass such law. The
trust has imported about 100000 pounds
of raw sugar to get the benefit of the Will
son duty. ard has thus robbed the govern
merit of many millions.

robbers of Kel1y's corral were Manuel
Cardoza and the genial Muncey. Here
were the stiffening carcasses of the old
sergeant's pets; here the half dozen
pack mules, packs and all; here the
mutilated remains of the poor devils
whom Cardoza had abandoned, for up
the canyon went the shod hoof tracks
of American horses. Overtalzen by
Apaches, two well mounted leaders had
left their humble followers to fight it
out as best they could, and who could
be the cowardly pair but Muncey and
Cardoza?

Turner still kept his ski..mishers ahead.

But what fight, Down in the depths
of the gorge, sheltering themselves as
best they could from occasional bullet
and frequent bowlder hurled from up
the heights, some forty blue uniformed
troopers were falling slowly back be-
fore the ceaseless onslaught of a foe
they could neither see nor reach. Just
as Kelly had feared, Lieut.. Crane had
been lured into a trap, and the sup
porting platoon, reaching him, could
only share his predicament. Just how
far up the canyon he had succeeded in
following the trail was now a matter
of little. consequence. Crane and his
men were making the best of their way
out, bringing their wounded with them.
It was the first lesson, a bitter one, and
one that would have been far more
tragic but for the coming of their bet
ter led comrades along the upper trail.
Long before Turner and Kelly could
'Ssight" a single Apache, the Apaches
hadcaught sight of them. Darling from
rock to rock, Sinking from tree to tree,
away sped the 1.-THE, sinewy fellows out
of rifle range. Only few long dis
lance or random shots were exchanged
between Turner and the invisible scat
tering foe, and Cranes fellows, sending
up stentorian cheers from the stream
bed below, drowned for the moment
the roar OF the waters. Throwing out
some keen shots as slxirnishers to pre-
vent the temperance of the Indians,
THORNTON and his troop leader signaled
Crane to fall back to a point where
the Sandy flowed in smooth tran
quill reach for a hundred yards
or so, and there, one side climbing
down the heights, the other climbing
up, the officers were able to compare
notes. The first question was as to
Cranes losses. Several horses killed,
three bandoned and two men wounded.
''But," said he, They've cleaned out
some Mexican outfit mile up stream.
We almost caught them at it." And
so, leaving the woundedwith the guard
and attendants to make the best of
their way back to the old post, the two
commands again pushed on up stream,
Crane on the lower and Thornton fol-
lowing the upper trail, both parties in
single file. Turner kept the front well
covered by a few slzirmishers. Half
an hours march brought them around
wooded point, and there deep down
in the gorge, just at the spot where
Sanchez camped that luckless night
two years before, under the burning
blue of the midsummer skies, lay the
wreck of another "outft." Flood and
fury had scattered the possessions Of
the former party broadcast down the
canyon. Fire and flame and Tonic
bullet or barb had huddled those of the
second into a blackened, hideous heap.
Crane had followed, in very truth, the
trail Of the raiders at Kelly's ranch,
but the murderers Of the luckless Bust

they bit at their plug tobacco and
logged silently on. and up to the mo-

head. "That clouds coming this way,

And so it proved. Less than half an
hour later, down by the splashing
waters, the two detachments came to-
gether Comrades of the same regi-
ment, yet from stations miles apart.
The sunburned, dust-covered fellows
from far up the Sandy rode in to the
welcoming ranks from Retribution.
'sWhat news of the Indians?'' was nat
urally the first inquiry, and rapidly,
officer to officer, man to man, the two
parties exchanged views The captain
of the little partg from Camp Sandy
was soldicrly fellow, Tanner by name,
and with him were two or three ex-
perienced scouts. AL Zeiber was one, a
man who knew Apaches and Arizona
even as their old guide, Buffalo Bill,
knew the Pawnees and the plains.
''There isn't hostile west of the Sandy
this day." said he. They've all had
their Jump and done what damage
they could, and now they're skipping
back to the Mogollon country" But
Zeiber looked grave and troubled when
told of the deeds of the previous night.
''They are little detached war parties"
said he eve may strike one of them
down near the springs, but doubt it.
In brief conference the officers decided
what should then be done. Tanner sent
his lieutenant with asscout and twenty
men down along the north face of the
Socorro to find Foster and follow full
speed any of the struggling Apaches
whose trails they might discover, hop
ing even yet to recapture Leon. Then
the pack train came up and presently
cook fires were blazing in the timber
and from the. Camp Sandy supplies a
hearty dinner was served out to Thorn
tons men while Tanner proposed his
plan. My Instructions" said he,
were to leave an escort of twenty
men here at the ford for the generals

We have a little party to meet him at

express at the Oakland wharf at eight
o'clock of the fair June evening, the lit
tie party was met by an aid-de-camp of
the general commanding the military
division of the Pacific, whose head
quarters were in San Francisco, and as
they steamed across the beautiful bay
toward the great city of the Golden
Gate, with it's myriad lights and rival
ing the reflected images Of the stars,
the latest tidings from Apacheland
were unfolded. The military telegraph,
the pioneer of it's kind, had not then
been strung across the Mohave desert,
and all communication between Arr

days later. that there was brought to
him the tidings Of the general uprising.
Unlike his predecessors, the new gen
