With Several or More References to
the Act and Art of Shooting.
In little mining town up in Montana
there is hotel in which there is posted a
notice to guests which reads as follows:
"REA DTHIS.
Guests of this hotel will please bear in
mind that We will not be responsible for
either their lives or their property. There
are places convenient where valuables may
be deposited for safe keeping. and where
life and accident Insurance policies may be
secured
Guests are requested to use proper care
and caution when shooting at each other
in the dining room reckless discharg-
Ing of firearms is liable to result in the
unnecessary killing of innocent and unsus-
pecting parties
Guests will be expected to pay for
whatever table ware they break in throw
Ing at one another. This rule will be in
sisted on.
IF guests have any complaint to make
regarding the conduct of walters they will
please not come to us about it. The walters
carry pistols, and are supposed 10 know
how to use them, and they will settle all
their own difficulties
Guests must not put their feet on the
tables, especially if ladies are present. The
act may be harmless enough, but there are
fastidious people who object to it, and We
are here to cater to the highest and most
refined class of society.
Guests who are not willing to sleep in
the same bed with another guest need not
stop at this hotel. We do not care for the
patronage of people who want the earth,
with the moon thrown in, for 81.
This hotel positively will not bear the
part of the funeral expenses of people who
get killed while stopping here-not even of
those we are forced to shoot in the interest
of society and good order.
Guests wishing to attract the attention
of waiter are requested to call or whistle
for him. This is better than shooting him
through the ear or nose, and, besides, it
will save funeral expenses.
1.-THE public will bear in mind that this
is no cheap house, but that it is a first
class, high toned hotel. Therefore guests
are expected to conduct themselves in a
gentlemanly, we'll bred manner. This will
be strictly insisted on, even if it be neces-
sary to resort to the use Of our guns

OUR NEW PRESS.

The Republicans new perfect ing press is now on the road and will be set up in this office very soon. When 1t is in working or der the facilities for getting out extras and giving the news when it is hot from the wires will be unexcelled. With it's battery of Mergenthaler linotypes, perfect ing press, full Associated Press dispatches and complete deliv- cry service The Republican will have no rivals in the entire southwest outside of Los An geles. The business men and newspaper readers generally of Arizona have contributed to the success of The Republican, and the paper will net relax it's ef- forts to give them their moneys worth. The Republican stands on it's merits. That it is appreci- ated is shown by its full line of attractive advertisements, and it's constantly growing circula- tion.

THE LAST ARMADA,

Camara's fleet is headed for Cadiz again. The last armada gathered and dispatched by Spain for the conquest of the western world will with good luck and steaming at it's usual speed, be home again in few days.
 Out of this expedition, what has Spain got? The canal tolls, amounting to $140,000 for both ways, must form a considerable tax upon a treasury which cannot supply the funds needed to carry on work on the Notifications about Cadiz. The discovery of weak nesses and imperfections in the ma- chinery of the battleships is not en- couraging at this point of the game of war. The armada returns, having &C., complished nothing, having wasted a good deal of money and having demon strated nothing but it's own :nefi- ciency.
 There is nothing for Spain to do with this fleet, when it gets safe home again, except to keep it out of the way of Watson. Admiral Camara would act prudently if he were to beach his boats somewhere along the Mediter. ranean coast before our ships get there
Arizona republican., 1898-07-18

If Spain, accepting at once the inevit- able that must be accepted sooner or later, proposes peace on terms satisfac- tCry to us, the war can stop with the achievements of our arms at Santiago If she does not we must proceed with out delay to attack with our fleet and army at other points until we have so much of Spanish territory in our possession as will enable us to carry cut our original purpose in declaring the war and to discharge the other re- responsibilities that have since, with out our desire, fallen upon us. Then the real difficulties will begin for us, new perils and new problems multiply ing on every side. But for the present the question is wholly for Spain to answer. The word is with the authori- ties at Madrid, and we cannot wait long for them to speak.

OUR NEW WAR TAXES.

Under the above caption Max West discusses the burden of the expense of the conflict in the Review of Reviews An interesting question in connection with this law" he says, 'is how far the new taxes will be really borne by those who pay them in the first in- stance, and to what extent they will be shifted to the great body of con- sumers. The act facilitates the shift ing of the tobacco tax by providing for packages containing one-sixth less than those formerly used, and doubt less the customary size of glass of beer will be also reduced in many cases. On the other hand the tax on patent medicines and other proprietary articles is almost too small to increase retail prices except by checking in some degree the tendency to sell these goods at cut rates. The act specifcal- ly provides that the tax on sleeping car and parlor car tickets is to be paid by the companies issuing them, and there seems to be little chance that this or the tax on bills of lading will be shifted; but the tax on passage tick cts to foreign ports will doubtless be found to increase the expense of trips to Europe this summer. Of more im- portance is the effect on prices of su- gar and oil of the tax on gross receipts of refneries. Professor Seligman in his work on The Shifting and Inci- dence of Taxation says, It is plain that tax on monopoly gross receipts l can never be shifted because prices of monopoly articles are already such as to produce the maximum profits. From this reasoning it follows that so 1 far as the sugar trust and the Stand ard Oil company are monopolists and not subject to the laws of competitive trade they will have to bear the burden of the taxes levied upon them. But it is never safe to predict the precise result of a tax or of any other one of the many elements which determine | prices"

PAST PRAYING FOR.

Now don't get praying for me, old lady, don't want no ones prayers; I'm fit as ever was, mother; she need mt think care! When I go whistling along the road, just as the night is falling, She needn't thnk I'm whistling her; it's another girl I'm calling. And if I pass her house dozen, or twenty times, day, She needn't think I'm after her; my work lies out that way; And if she say I'm sick of home, and the towns too small to hold me That's only the fault of a rowing mind and not the girl who sold me. And if they say I'm off my feet, I still can lift a can, And if I get drunk it's nothing to her; I am not her young man. There's lots of better girls to be had as any chap can see, So you cheer up-you've got no call to go and pray for me. I'm jolly glad to get rid of the girl when I think hat fool I were And I wish her joy of her new young man, and I wish him joy of her But all the same. if you want to pray you just tell God to take care oi 'em,
 For if I catch those two together, by God I'll swing for the pair o1 'em!

A striking feature of this war is the individual bravery and enthusiasm of the men. Every call for volunteers for desperate ventures brings every man forward who is aboard ship. Each man seems to think he should have Q foremost place wherever there is dan ger. This is the spirit and the patri- Otism which made the colonies free and which has always been seen when the United States is at war. It is the spirit which will override all opposi- ton in the end.

AT MANILA.

The situation at the Philippines The news from there is not at all cheering. Assisted, apparently, by the Germans, who are reported to be landing supplies for the Spaniards, the enemy is now in a much better condi- tion than was described a week or two ago. This may be due to encourage ment received from the report that Camara's squadron was on its way, but it probably results from a recovery from the panic of the first of May. The Spanish at several points on the is- selves if they can only obtain food and ammunition, and they have succeeded in getting the former and have doubt less wisely husbanded their last SUD- plies of the latter Rear Admiral Dewey has not, it seems, determined to take the city with small force. He is to wait for General Merrltt's s coming, which will be deferred until about the first of August But in the meantime the American forces will be out of danger They have plenty of supplies of all kinds, and they can re- sist attack. Danger of friction, how ever, between the rebels and the Amer jeans is still perhaps the greatest ob- stacle to the success of our plans. But so far Rear Admiral Dewey has con- ducted hs diplomatic negotiations with complete success, and it is unneces- sary to fear for him even if his posi- tion should become little trying.

New Theory Of Mars Canals.
Astronomer Burnham Thinks That They
Have Been Misnamed.

mountains and filling up valleys may
be seen active anywhere between west
ern Nebraska and the Pacific ocean,
Then he assumes that the continents
upon Mars resemble the fat country
of Holland. and asserts that the tnhao-
itants have to protect their shores oy
dams similar to those built by the
Dutch. They have. therefore, built
dams along their coasts, while at the
same time they have tried to lead the
sea water into the interior OF the con-
tinents by means OF waterways and
canals. Fortunately for the inhabi-
tants, after the dams are built the can
ais do not have to be dug. but let in
the water and 1t will flow between the
dams up and down the continent. Ana
he explains the changed appearance
from time to time of the network OF
canals by saying that when one OF the
larger canals has given up much water
to the lesser ones it feeds 1t must be-
come shallower and consequently
fainter in appearance. and as soon RS
1t gets more water from the sea 1t be-
comes darker and visible again.
Leo Brenner Is man OF science ara
in good standing among the astrono-
mers, and hence his theory respecting
the Martian canals is attracting good
deal OF attention. 1t is but theory,
of course. for nothing is absolutely
known concerning the supposed inhao-
itants and canals upon Mars, and 1t Is
next to certain that nothing ever Will
be known. Some are looking forward
to q time when larger or more power
full telescopes will be made and point
ed at the heavens. At such time,
many are thinking. we shall be able
to see important things on the planets
that are now invisible. But this is
not at all certain to come to pass.
Mr.. Burnham is of the opinion that
the practical limit to the power OF tel
escopes has been attained. Not that
larger telescopes. with higher magni-
flying power. may not be constructed,
but that our atmosphere presents dif-
ficulties that are increased proportion
ately to the increase of magnification.
Mr. Burnham is not, it should be
said, specially interested in Mars. and
it might be better to consult Mr. Low
ell or some other man that Is devoted
to the subject. Chicago's most noted
astronomer is famous hunter of dou-
BILE stars, and he has catalogued more
of these, by 100, than any other map.
He is hunting still, for he makes a trip,
every other week. to the Yerkes tele-
scope at Geneva. and his looking is fire.
quently rewarded by some new find.
