the photographers caused considerable de-
lay, because Of difficulties met In adjust
ing their cameras at advantageous angles.
At one time it looked as though those diff
fculties would neoessitate a return TO the
carriages and a further search, but finally
all was satisfactorily arranged and the
duel began. They fought SIX furious
rounds, apparently with grim earnestness,
and one man was wounded seriously
Then the curtain fell. Every one was sat
is1ed, even the wounded man, but as to
d. Turat's opinion OF M. Paulnuer that
probably was not affected by their double
star cast.

The country will breathe easier now that General Miles has decided :o take the field in person. It was eminently proper for the general to entrust the work of landing the troops in Cuba and testing the strength of the Dons to subordinate. What chance of glory would subordinates have if the commanding general insisted upon ex- ercising his prerogatives every time a fight was in prospect? Now that General Shafter has demonstrated that the Spaniards can be licked, and has gained commendation for his skillful work, General Miles very properly will step in and relieve him of the tremen- dous responsibility attending the cul- imitation of his we'll planned cam paign. We trust that General Miles will find the weather in Cuba agree able, and that the Spaniards at Santi- ago will not have the ill-grace to sur render before he lines up on their front

FARRAGUT'S APOLOGY.

When Dewey was first lieutenant of one of the gunboats which Farragut used as a dispatch boat the admiral used often to come aboard and steam up near the levee to reconnoiter. The southerners had way of rushing a field piece to the ten of the high bank firing point-b1ank at the gunboat, and then backing down again. Upon one such occasion Farragut saw Dawey dodge a shot. 'Why don't you stand firm. 1ieutenant?" said he: "don't you know you can't jn-np quick "nough?' A day or so after inc admiral lodged a shot. The lieutenant smiled and held his tongue; but the admiral had a guilty conscience. He cleared his throat once or twice. shifted his atti- tude, and finally declared: 'Why, sir, you can't help it, sir. It's human na- ture. .'-Argonaut.
Arizona republican., 1898-07-09
A TALE WITH A MORAL.

The appalling story of the loss at sea of the La Bourgogne, of the French line, carries with it a moral that Americans may we'll heed. When you go abroad go on ships manned by Anglo-Saxons. Take a ship manned by Latins if you hold your life cheaply. The history of every marine disaster like that which overlook the La Bour- gogne gives force to our declaration. The Americans ana the British take pains to save the wo- men and children first. The Latins almost invariably leave the women and children to shift for themselves, and it is not uncommon to hear of their using force to keep them from enter ing the lifeboats.
 The scenes on the Bourgogne were frightful. The crew threw aside all discipline and fought like demons for the possession of the boats md life rafts. There were hundreds of women and children on board. Only enc wo- Aie1i OSSopCo, anu ohC OWCS uSl lll9 tO the heroism of her husband. The cap tain of the ship and most of the off, cers were drowned. They had TO control whatever over the savages among the crew. Of the 165 persons saved 106 belonged to the crew. Oi the 59 passengers who managed to get into the boats the majority carry wounds, some of them frightful ! wounds, inflicted by the members oi the crew who had first got possession of the boats.
 The news comes from Paris that the French people are ashamed of the con- duct of their countrymen on the ship 1 Well may they be. Those creatures behaved worse than barbarians. Il makes one shudder to think of theil stabbing and clubbing the frantic pas sengers who were struggling for life. It is folly to talk of punishing the wretches whose conduct so aggravated the horrors of the disaster. Rather should Americans who go down to the | sea in ships determine never to put their lives in the keeping of Latin sailors

When Admiral Sampson made

When Admiral Sampson made his memorable Fourth of July present to the nation we took him at his word and gave him the credit that appeared to be his due. Now it appears thas he was six miles to the eastward of San tiago when Cervera's fleet came out, and that but for Commodore Schley the Spaniards would have got away. If Sampson had given proper credit tc Schley in his report his fame would have grown immeasurably. As it is. people will regard him as one who missed glorious opportunity to dis play greatness of soul. Sampson is to be pitied, for he undoubtedly is a brave officer

ATTENTION, PosToFFICE PEOPLE.

Arizona is unfortunate in that her pos;office officials appear to have a deep-seated prejudice against second class mail matter. Letters generally reach their destination without loss of time. Newspapers require much more time in transmission from news paper offices, and our experience is that not more than five out of seven reach the people to whom they are addressed. ef''s
 The annoyance caused by the com plaints of subscribers in different DOT tions of Arizona has induced The Re publican to protest to the postmaster general at Washington against the un- just and unlawful discrimination against second class mail matter in the postoffices in Arizona There is no reason why a newspaper properly addressed and delivered properly at a postofice in this territory should not go by the first mail to the person whose name is printed on the wrapper. That copies of The Republican ad- dressed to subscribers in Arizona and elsewhere go astray every day Ill the year is shown by protests which reach this office. The volume of the con- plaints influenced The Republican some time ago to buy new mailing ma chine and reorganize it's mailing de- partment. This expensive move availed nothing. The complaints are just as regular now as they were when this was a struggling newspaper with out means to employ efficient help in the mailing room. Every town in the territory has furnished it's quota of statements from subscribers to the ef- feet that The Republican misses" at least twice week.
 This state of affairs has become tire some. The Republican pays more to Uncle Sam for postage than any other newspaper in Arizona The bills are promptly presented when due and are promptly paid. The postof1ice de- partment owes it to this newspaper to see that the imposition practiced upon it in Arizona shall be brought to an end. If other papers which have suf- fered in this manner choose to join The Republican in exposing such satisfactory conditions their coop eration will be appreciated. There un- doubtedly is great carelessness among postoffice employees, and the postoff1ce department, we firmly believe, will be at pains to run it down. Copies of this paper will be sent to the proper off cers in Washington, and hereafter every case of a paper failing to reach subscriber will be reported. Sub scribers who do not receive their pa per regularly will confer a great favor by informing the editor of The Repub- lican, to the end that the irregularity may be investigated. in the meantime we ask the postmasters and mailing clerks of Arizona to give heed to this complaint. We are in this fight to stay, and somebody is apt to get hurt before it is over.

HOSS WEIGHS.

Do not stuff your horse with hay, it is waste, as well as injurious to the horse.
 Do not feed immediately after a hard drive.
 A vicious colt will make a trust worthy horse if you are patient with him.
 Never lose you temper when hand ling a colt, else you lose good results.
 Be sure managers are sweet and clean Sour managers are an abomination to a horse.
 Horses suffer from extreme heat as we'll as men,
 Do not forget carrots. One-third of them and two-thirds oats are better than all oats.

Such an intermeddling would be wanton attack upon this country and would arouse a storm of hatred here that has never been felt against Spain.
