NO REMEMBERING.

President Mckinley is right in em- phatically discountenancing privateer- ing in the approaching war with Spain. It is an antiquated practice, out of line with modern civilization.
 A great nation like the United States does not want to make war up- on peaceful merchantmen, and this is what privateering amounts to. It is nothing but piracy under another name, nothing but speculation in plunder. It may have had it's place in wars when the world was younger and rougher; it is out of touch with the world today. Privateering on the seas is no more justifiable than private guerilla raids are justifiable on land It should be stricken out of the list of things recognized by civilized nations.

The voters of the Second ward will now have the opportunity of demon strating the nature of their needs in the selection of councilman. The republican candidate, MT. N. A. Nor ford, has been a resident of this city since its infancy, and resident of the Second ward most of that time. If there is man in Phoenix better aware of the necessity for progress and how to go about obtaining it at the least expense to the citizens than Mir Nor ford we do not know him The resi- dents of the Second ward do not need to be told of the ability and efficiency of the republican candidate. They know him and we entertain no doubt that they will give him a handsome majority on the 3d of May.

THE QUESTION OF MEN.

The bringing of Spain to terms
 ought to be achieved without an army
 of anything like 43O,OOO men, which
 is the number that vii lbe enrolled in
 the United States service if the reeu-
 lars and 100000 volunteers are pre-
 pared for the struggle The enemy is
 not capable of matching any such
 body of soldiery. There will be some thing demoralizing, too, in giving the people the impression that such a number of men may be put under arms The heavy expense of keeping up such a tremendous total is also an item in be considered. It will probably cost twice as much to maintain them in these days, with the increased outlay for arms, as it would have thirty years ago. But the most useful and convincing objection is that there can be no occasion for the mobilization of such an army. The whole Mexican war was terminated with a very small force, and the few troops in the field had been so prepared for their duties that, moving the more readily because of their compactness, they went through the campaign like clock work.

SWORD OF WALLACE,

It is the popular belief in Scotland
 that the sword of William Wallace, the
 friend of Bruce, and the hero par ex-
 cellence of Scottish romance, lies with
 other relics. in Sterling Castle. This according to the story of Dun an Me Pherson McTavish of East Girard ave-
 nue, is a popular mistake. He alone mas the sword of the Scottish warrior. and he says that it has been handed
 down from sire to son in the McTa- Vlsh clan for centuries. The sword which the esteemed Highlander proud " exhibits to his friends is most formidable weapon. It is exactly six rect four inches in length and weighs somewhat over twenty-seven pounds. NO ordinary man can hold it out at arms length, and not even Sandow could yield it for five minutes. It is made, MT. McTavish asserts, of the nnest Damascus steel, and he adds that put one head of his clan-his great great-great-great grandfather, Ian Dhu McTavish-couId use it in battle, and his strength was so great that, with [hls terrible weapon, he could cut right through an armed knight from the hel- met to the saddle of his horse MT. McTav1sh talks a good deal of his fa- nous ancestor, especially after dinner, ana the stories he relates of his phy- slcaI proWess are somewhat wonder 'ul,

PRINCIPAL FIBRE FABRICS.

The leaf of the pineapple has a fibre which is destined to take a prominent place among the constituents of tex tile fabrics, according to statements made in the report of the United States Department of Agriculture. The re- port shows that both the wild and the cultivated plants of this description yield fibre which when spun surpasses in point of strength, fineness and lustre those obtained from flax. Summariz- ing it's value, mention is made of its usefulness as a substitute for silk, and as a material for mixing with wool or cotton-useful, too, for cordage. sewing silk, or twist, faces, etc. In China it is used in fabrics for clothing fer ag- riculturists; it is in request in India as material for stringing necklaces, and is the substance of the we'll known pine cloth of the Phillipine Islands. It is remarkably durable, unaffected by immersion in water, is white, soft, silky, flexible and long in staple. Samples cleaned, without washing. when twisted to the size of binding twine, have shown breakage strain of 15O pounds.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of President Frank Thompson of the Pennsylvania rail- road as special aide to the secretary of war, in order that he may have com plete supervision of the transportation of troops and supplies in the coming hostilities, furnishes an added proof of the intelligence and thoroughness of the administration preparations His similar service during the civil war is now invaluable; but when to this is added the enviable reputation he has since achieved as an executive railway official of the first rank, it is plain that no better selection for the labor contemplated could have been made. The administration is to be congratulated on the wisdom and fore sight here displayed.

The Fourth ward knows its business. When the people of that ward get hold of good thing they recognize it and clutch it to themselves with hooks of steel. Fer four years Frank B. Moss has represented them in the council of this city, and now they propose to keep him there. Although nominated by the republicans his victory will be made no less sure by reason Of his polling large number of votes which would, if he were not candidate, be cast for an untried and almost un- known man. Frank Moss has made an excellent councilman, the city needs him, and his ward will be again hon ored by his reelection.

ACCEPTED THE BRIBE.

A few lawyers were sitting in a city restaurant few days ago eating lunch and discussing different sub jects, when one of them told the fol- lowing story:
 "This occurred some years ago in the office of former jutsfce of the peace. An attorney, who has since left Sioux City, had been engaged to defend a man for the crime of petty larceny. The lawyer knew that the case against his client was a pretty strong one, and he decided to beard the lion in his den. As he entered the room he told the justice of the case, the name of his client, and added he did not think there was any evidence to convict. At the same time he slip ped $20 gold piece into the hand of the justice, and gave him a knowing wink. The court said nothing, but, pulling open the cash drawer, slipped the money in. The case went to trial, and after the evidence had all been in- troduced there appeared to be no ques- tion of the guilt of the defendant. But his counsel was confident, thinking the gold piece had done the work. The court then summed up the case, and, to the astonishment of the defendant's s counsel said:
 ""The court finds the defendant guilty as charged in the information, and fines him $100 of which SEQ has been paid. The defendant will be com mitted to the county jail until the remainder is paid into this court
 Nothing more was said, and the justice settled back in his chair, sat isfied that the laws of the state had been upheld and a dishonest attorney had been left in the lurch.'

"OLD ABE'S" STRATAGEM.

At a recent dinner in Boston a for
 mer citizen of Springfield, H., told the following Lincoln story: "The fire
 hose company of Springfield was very
 proud of it's we'll equipped fire appar- atus. and, desiring to procure some ex-
 tra supplies, subscription papers were sent around. The small boys, myself among the number, were given a share or the work. I went up to some dusty rooms over grocery and entered the law office of Lincoln. He asked me numberless questions and I had to tell him all I knew of this fire brigade and it's members. Then he said: Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go home to supper-Mrs. Lincoln is generally good natured after supper-and then I'll tell her I've been thinking of glv- ing $50 to the brigade, and she'll say, "Abe, will you never have sense? Twenty dollars is quite enough" So tomorrow, my boy, you come around and get your twenty"
