VERY GREATLY EXERCISED.

THE OASIS abuse of reputable citi
 zens of Nogales win do that paper nc
 good in this community. Nidette.
 The Nidette has always been very
 greatly exercised with morbid fear
 that TIE OASIS would harm itself in
 its open discussion of topics of public
 interest, and has been frequently pos
 sessed of grave alarm that the out spoken policy of TIE OASIS upon
 matters affec1ing Nogales would in-
 iure the paper taking stand so bold.
 Yet TIE OASIS without any change in
 management or policy has gone along
 the even tenor of it's way, prosperous
 and prospering daily extending
 the sphere of it's influence and useful ness. Meanwhile how has fared the
 Videttes How many different men
 have taken hold of the concern and endeavored to make it a success? Have any of them succeeded very ad- mirably? First it was established by Harry Woods, who drew bis subsis- tence from the custom house pay roll. Then Collector Webb took the bant- ling in hand, and imported from Phoenix to do the editorial and local work MT. Frank King, who was held up ty fat berth in the custom house. But shortly Uncle Sam put stop to that, and Frost Hickman ran the thing a while-and he made it some thing of newspaper. After that the concern was incorporated and a whole lot Of suckers induced to take stock to supply money to follow the good custom house money which had been poured out without stint, and Judge Duffy was induced to stand in the breach editorially and managerially. Finally Duffy threw it up in disgust and Frank King was induced to buy the concern and sink his little ac- emulation of office holding days To eke out the miserable existence of the sickly hantling Frank does a little insurance business, takes measures for suits of clothes, sells notions, stationery, matches millinery etc.
 Were it not so pitiful it would be amusing to note the care with which the Vdette endeavors to avoid and eyade taking any stand upon the im- portant questions concerning the welfare of Nogales which are ever present in the public mind It dare not express itself for fear Of offending and losing some littleo of the patronage it has secnred after great effort. It dare not take stand for payment of the debts due Oscar Gebler and the | attorney employed to oppose con- trmation of the land grant which | claimed the townsite, because that | would offend Pascholy, Ephraim, Cummings X Co.,; and it dare not stand for repudiation of those just debts, through fear it will lose patronage from Messrs Gebler, Proto and others who will lose heavily | unless those debts are paid. So the poor thing is between the devil and | the deep sea, ;" and knows not what to do. It sees TIE OASIS doing a fine business and possessed of large circle | of strong friends who are friends be- | cause they have learned that the paper stands up for what is right, without flinching and the jealous competitor can only whine and make faces.

Last March Palmer, Mass, voted no.
lie, nse, and a paper from that city re.
Gently stated that public drunkenness
had been rs thoroughly driven out az
stealing has and that in nine months
there had been no arrests for drunken
ness for which Palmer whisky was re-
sponsible.
A man who tried to run q saloon in
Palmer contrary to the law was arrested
and it is reported that during the trial
one Of his friends said, "Well, John,
when l hear the evidence it seems sure
you will be convicted, but when l look
at that jury it looks as if you would be
acquitted" The man was acquitted, but
Judge Maynard who was trying the case
gave a sharp rebuke to the jury, saying,
III in a Case OF this kind a conviction
cannot be reached, there is no use OF
holding a court OF Justice"

Several papers throughout the state
OF MASSACHUSETTS, gave column after COL

reform IN that county, while the people
were thoroughly aroused. One paper

Democrat expresses regret that the crimi-
nails were not caught, and intimates
that had they been caught the law would
not have been allowed TO take Its course.
From all accounts. had success attended
the act of diabolism, many persons
would have been drowned In short the
result would have been wholesale murder.
In this connection Il should be said that
the people OF New Orleans repudiate IN
dignanuy the charge that they are re-
sponsible for the several attempts that
were made to cut levees above the city.
One OF the New Orleans papers says
that this charge was Undoubtedly que

in some other parish In order to protect
the city from the dangers OF overflow.
They could. adds our contemporary,

y-RAYS AFTERMATH.

Nicola Tesla, who is no less an cleo
trical wizard than Edison, warned
the public when the X-rays discovery
was first announced against subjecting
themselves to this application by persons
who did not know exactly what they
were doing Tesla declared that the
effects of the rays on the skin were in
furious. and used as an instance his own
right hand. the surface of which APP
blistered and had then dried. apparently
destroying the life of the epidermis. He
also said that the injurious effects of the
rays were due not TO a discharge OF
minute particles of ether. according to
Roentgens own hypothesis, but to the
discharge of atomic matter, and that the
irritation might in instances OF extreme
exposure be serious.
Now the "bad record" OF the X-rays
is beginning TO come in, and some Sc
reported. In two recent cases where the
rays were applied experimentally to the
hip joint by electricians. the hip became
numb. the outer flesh took the APP
pearance of a scald and an eruption de-
veloped that threatened the tissues. The
physicians who were called in were puz-
zled by the symptoms. and have been
unable to treat them successfully. They
declare that the rays acted on the blood
vessels and withered them, and that the
subsequent appearance of the flesh and
the eruption were due to lack of circu-
lation.
Tesla recommended the bathing in oil
of the parts of the body to be exposed
to the rays But the lesson of the X-rays
discovery aftermath Is. Beware, oil or
no OIL, how you allow the rays to be
applied TO you in college laboratories,
etc, and by electrical enthusiasts, 'just
in the interest Of science" There seems
no doubt that the X-rays discovery Is
destined TO play most important and
beneficent part in surgery, but there also
seems no doubt that 1t may prove
an agent of great harm in the hands OF
mere eXpermentalists.

n,cuwoNp COLLEGE.

Richmond College needs sclentinc
laboratories 20 make fully effective the
great educational plant II ALREADY pos
scsses. Its location buildings al"
corps OF teachers enable the college, 10
offer exceIleut courses OF instruction, but
the addition of modern equipment Tor
teaching science would enhance the
value Of work done in every department.
Every man of business knows now
small additional outlay may oftenumes
render invested capital more productive
and this WAS never more true In pusi-
ness than I'm the case of colleges lacking
adequate facilities.
Most Richmond boys OF limited means
must look to Richmond college ior
higher education. There Is haruly any
alternative. This Is true in theory ana
in practice. Taking the report Tor 1870
of the Superintendent OF Richmond
Schools, and comparing II with the cata-
logues of Richmond College, 1t appears
that the great majority of boys VINO
graduate at the High School ana attehu
college anywhere, enter Richmond COZ
lece. few of the graduates go North
or to other Virginia colleges, many en-
ter at once upon a business career, ana
the rest enter Richmond College. Since
1890, the number of male graduates AZ
the High School has averaged from
thirteen to fourteen. Every session from
two to seven of these have entered kich-
mond College, and at present there are
in the college thirteen full graduates OF
the High School.
Not all of the graduates of the High
School are poor boys. by any means, but
the students of this school may fairy
be taken to represent the Richmond ciu-
zens of average means. These men
naturally look TO local institutions TO
furnish them all needed facilities for
education. At present. Richmond Col
lege is the only institution aspiring 10
meet this demand. Its facilities are
Richmond's facilities. II these facilities
are not of the best, Richmond should see
that they are improved or should proVlue
better facilities. All higher education Is
EXPENSIVE. Education in science IS par
ticularly so. and is generally beyond the
reach Of poor boys. unless provided con-
tiguously to their homes.
Outsiders have done much for Rich-
mond College, but for twehty years there
has been no appeal to our citizens 10
help the college. Some have helped In
this present undertaking, but many nave
&C vet done nothing. But we hope soon
to see a display of enterprise in this mat
ter. which will be an earnest OF our
public spirit and substantial evidence
Of our appreciation of the college.
Since attention was called to the mat
ter by the Dispatch on April 10TH
number of our citizens have contributed
500 each. and n and out OF hlch-
mond 81 500 has been raised. Let others
help at once. In due season a list oil
contributors will be published. Work on
the laboratories should begin in June.
