WHY HE DIDN'T GO.

Clement Sanford, one of Arizona s native sons, came down from the nor nal school late Friday afternoon and took the medical and military exami- nations for admission to the cavalry. The young man passed both examina- tions without the slightest trouble, and his name was gladly placed on the roll. But as he was about to leave the military examiners and make ready for leaving with the volunteers, at tention was called to his age, and although the applicant for admission was upwards of six feet in height and showed other signs of being of age, he could not convince MT. McClIhtock that he was twenty-one. As he was only nineteen years of age, a written consent from his parents was re- quired, and this to the sorrow of the young man and his friends with whom he was going. could not be ob- tained

NEEDED AT HOME.
Arizona N. G. A. Cannot Fight
 Spain.

The last hope that the national guard of Arizona would be allowed to assist in the subjugation of Spain has van ished. Governor McCord yesterday 1e- ceived the following telegram from the war department in reply to one he had sent the day before urging Q rec ognition of the territorial militia In addition to the two cowboy troops all ready called:
 Washington, April 90.
 Governor M. H. McCord, Phoenix, Ariz.-Two troops of cavalry is all the population of Arizona will admit of. Even if it did it would not be wise under the existing conditions, for ob- vious reasons, to withdraw any con- siderable proportion of your national guard for service outside the terri tory. RUSSELL A. ALGER."
 This seems to settle it, and if it doesn't fill the breasts of the boys with joy, it at least relieves them of any further anxiety. They will no doubt later be called into service to perform garrison duty.

THOUGHT SHE SAW STOCKS.
Mrs. Lulu Caruthers Tried for h.
 sanity Yesterday.

Mrs. Lulu Caruthers was examined in probate court yesterday on a charge of insanity. Though several witnesses testified that they had known her to be "queer" for a long time. it was not shown that her mental de engagement was serious or of long standing. She had for some time been living with Mrs. Frank Baxter. She had worried about her separa- tion from her husband, Eugene Ca ruthers, had been il and during her illness had been compelled to labor for the support of herself and her little boy, a bright little fellow. of five. Unable to continue at work in a steam laundry where she had been em- ployed, she decided to rent a house at 121 North First avenue and keep dodgers. She moved into her new home on Friday morning and then collapsed under the fear that no iodg- CTS might come and that her furniture would be taken to pay her rent. She imagined she saw "spooks," skeleton creatures, whose bones clanked to- gether as they walked across the floor. She tried to drive them into closet with club, and she said that the wo- man who had rented her the house knew that they were there. Mrs. Frank Baxter kindly came into court and said she did not believe that Mrs
 Caruthers was insane( only sick and worried, capable of being cured by rest. She offered to take her to heI house and keep her without charge but said it was not best for her that her little boy should be with her. The matter was brought before the board of supervisors; who made an arrange ment for the care of the little boy ln the family of George Rockroth.

THE W. c. T. U.
The Successful End of the Tenth An
 nual Convention.

Thursday and Friday of the past week saw the meeting of the tenth annual convention of the Woman s Christian Temperance Union in the Baptist church in this city. Thera was an attendance of some thirty la dies during the business sessions. Thursday evening was given to other exercises, and gocd programme was rendered to small audience. Solos were sung by Miss Phillips and Miss Johnson. A paper read by Mrs. A. B. Buckley, entitled, "A Summary of Miss Willard's Life" was much en- joyed This was followed by eulogy upon Miss Willard by Mrs. Charles D. Reppy of Florence. An interesting address from Chaplain Scott closed the exercises. There were also dele gates present from various towns of the territory, and the convention was a source of inspiration to all, being harmonious and enthusiastic The fol- lowing officers were elected for the
 coming year: President. Mrs. A. B. Buckley of Phoenix; vice-president,

Mrs. M. B. White of Tempe; cores bonding secretary, Mrs. J. L. Munds of Prescott; recording secretary, Mrs. F. V. Curns of Phoenix; treasurer, Mrs. F. M. Doan of Florence. All invitation to hold the next convention in Pres colt will probably be accepted by the executive committee. This organiZa- tion should have more encouragement than it has received from the people for the good work it does.

MCKINLEY has actually said some
thing, Don't pull down the flag" 1t
Is a saying, however, yellow with age.
Nevertheless it is contradictory Of the
Presidents message. that the only pur-
pose the L. :. g. has in Cuba is TO es-
tablish a stable government and then
turn it over TO the Cubans-which
would mean a hauling down Of old
glory. So there,
MIR. Bryan asks: Can it be right to
haul down the flag in Cuba and wrong
to haul it down in the Philippines
when a stable government is established
there: Let us treat the people Of the
Philippines as the President proposes
TO treat the people of Cuba"
Another great objection 10 acquiring
the Philippines would be the expense
of military sufficient TO govern them.
Gen. Brooke saws it will require $4,000
men in Cuba, where there appears no
danger OF an uprising. The island of
Luzon Is "a large as Cuba and it is but
one Of group that numbers more than
a Thousand. \ regular army of 100000

Mr.. Shanks Lands a Good Place.

Mr.. Milo Shanks, proprietor of the
Paragraph, has been appointed to a
lucrative position in the Government
Printing Office. at Washington, in
recognition OF his services to his party
by personal efforts and through his
newspaper. 1t is also reported that he
will act as private secretary to Con-
gresham Dawson until the latter's
term expires, next March. The two
positions pay handsome salaries, and
we are glad this deserving young Re-
publican draws them. Mr.. Shanks is a
fine printer, industrious, and moral.
So long as political parties put
premiums upon active service we have
no objection to our friends of the news
paper profession thus going up the lad
der. But as for ourselves, there is a
charm about the business and sense
of duty in performing it that are not
enhanced by the hope of reward nor
diminished by the fear of punishment.
''To the victor belong the spoils," is a
good war cry for the boys IN the
trenches, but the editor, We believe,
should be so supported by his constitu-
ency that his paper may never need TO
be the tool or opologist of any clique or
ring in politics, TO mislead the public
for the sake OF selfish gain. The reali-
cation of this somewhat ideal condition
is dependent largely upon the public,
that looks to the paper for news and
advice, giving to their newspapers the
support they deserve.
