IN MEMORIAM.

is not much the living give the dead The
 fondest love, the deepest esteem the most devoted loyalty can beStow no more than tears words of honor and flowers, which are at once the tenderest gifts of love and the farest emblems of honof Of these poor gifts the giving should be full, generous and spontaneous They of no avail to the dead but for the living to whom the dead was dear they have value far beyond anything which can be meas ured by any scale known to the cold calculations of reason
 An occasion will soon be upon this city calling forth from its people the best manifestations they can give of their sorrow and honor of the heroic dead The steamer Coptic bearing home from the Orient all that is mortal of Captain Charles " Gridley the first American officer of high rank who has fallen in the war with Spain. He met his death heroically Though sick at the time he stood at his post of duty the coming tower of the Olympia and fought his ship through the long drawn out battle in Manila Bay, which resulted in the glorious victory that has filled the nation with exultaton and pride
 When the arrival of the Coptic brings the body of the hero city 1t should be received with every demonstration of civic and military honor Arrange ments to that end should be made at once The Gov ernor the Mayor, the heads of the great commercial and industrial organizations of the people, should take part in this memorial display All who in any way represent the people of San Francisco and Cali forna should make part of their duty to show to the heros body all the funeral honors which are due to the illustrious dead
 Let us prepare, then for an 'n memoriam" day Let make 1t solemn, beautiful, reverent and pa- triotic Let show to the world the honor and the glory with which the American people regard those who give their lives that the nation may live

There are number of large Amer ican yachts in the Mediterranean. But they will hardly subject themselves to capture by the Spanish torpedo boats and destroyers which are said to be hunting for them. They can find per feet shelter at this time by remaining in the roadsteads of the Riviera parts where no Spanish destroyers will dare to touch them. Their owners must know all about the commencement of war, and they would not be so foolish as to cruise about freely when they might suspect that they would be watched for. The fact that these steamers are very fast will serve them well in case they happen to be caught mapping, but, unlike the captains of the merchant steamships which have been taken near Cuba, they keep in formed as to the current events, and if they have been ashore during the last two or three weeks they must have learned enough as to the Cuban affair to convince them that frequent calls at ports in the future would be to their advantage.

HIGH LIGHTS.

Love is the chief bond of human sympathy; keeping chickens is the next
 We could all learn more if we didn't waste so much time hiding our ignor- ance.
 As a spring tonic war seems to have knocked qulnine bitters out in the first round.
 At this time Of year there's only 2 stepladder between the sublime and the ridiculous.
 The spoiled child is likely to grow up into a father who chastises his children too much. Some people have delusion that they will be known by the company they manage to get into.
 In all crises this nation has two great sustaining forces-its sense ct honor and it's sense of humor. The old fashioned woman used to have her gown stuck full of pins; the new woman never can find one. Young men who are always wanting to die for some damsel can now show their mettle in behalf of the goddess of liberty.-Chicago Record.

SPAIN A TARTAR.

It has long been the habit to al- Jude to Spain as a tartar. That she is proud we will admit, that she is naughty and relentless her foes all testify, that she is brave and unforgiv- ing and will exhaust herself completely before giving in to the inevitable is almost a foregone conclusion But let us see to what extent she can tar tarize upon us.
 The United States has not entered upon this war without fully estimating g all the consequences, near and remote It has a thorough knowledge Cf Spain, and cares little about her pride, haughtiness, or staying qualities. It has set out to forever put an end to Spanish rule in Cuba and it will sue ceed in accomplishing it's purpose. And then?
 It is said by those who lay claim to ! the gift of prophecy that Spain will become ugly and will turn pirate on the seas, rendering them uninhabitable for American ships. In fact that she
 will make the United States regret the ! fact of birth. We fail to see any foun-
 dation for such doleful prognostica- tions. After this war is ended Spain will have no base of supplies or op- erations on this side of the water. l Therefore she will be powerless over | here. A depleted treasury, loss Of credit, and record of failure are not
 likely to give her anything but de- creased power on the other side. So we fail to comprehend in what way she is to take revenge for the loss of her West Indian possessions. On the other hand it might be we'll for these alleged prophets to under stand that there is considerable of the tartar about the United States. Let Spain once set out upon the policy mentioned and she will find. in a very short time that the loss of Cuba is a very small matter in comparison to the punishment she will receive at our hands. We are growing as a naval power and it will not be many years with our present disposition, coming of demonstration in it's favor, bsfore we shall class in naval rank as second to none in the world of nations. We are a tartar today. Inside of the next five years we shall be an army of tar tars rolled into one.

The history of Spain's great copper mine gives an insight into the cause of the decline of the Spanish kingdom. The mine is now owned by a company having headquarters in London and last year $3,649,48O was paid in divi- dends of the stockholders, while but $472,210 was paid cut in Spain for wages, taxes, etc. Spain may have been sucking the life blood of colonies for several centuries, but the leeches have not been idle at home.

THE RIGHT SERVICE.

The outcry of the public against fake bulletins and fake news with reference to the war, the movements of ships and other exciting matters in con nection with these things, all emanating from the imagina- ton Of the fakirs. has become general From all parts of the country, Maine to California, and from the lakes to the gulf, protestations have been increas- ing until now we should not be surprised at any time to hear of positive steps being taken look ing to the suppression of this class of vultures who prey upon the credulity of the people.
 The Republican is not in- clined to bow low in sympathy with this latter class. The plan is so simple by which they can place themselves outside the circle of victims that if they do not follow it we do not feel that they deserve any charitable emo- tion at our hands.
 During this season of strife The Republican has been pub fishing in full the complete story of the details from day to day, obtained from the only authen- tic source of information in the country, the Associated Press. There has been nothing to tell outside Of that to be found in our columns every morning.
 We have made arrange ments for and are now receiving all the extra service it is pos sib1e to obtain by any of the great metropolitan journals of the coast, so that when our subscribers have read their pa per in the morning there is no necessity for the purchase of any Los Angeles or San Fran cisco papers coming along one or two days later containing only the same matter.
 It remains for the people of Arizona to say whether this en- terprise shall be sustained. We do not say it boastingly, but we do modestly assert it as a fact that The Republican today is the best purveyor of news this territory has ever enjoyed, printed within its borders. All we ask from the people of the territory is that appreciation which enables us to continue the character of service we feel that this section can afford.

Washington. Nov. 15.-The postoffice de-

a combine of speculative mail contract
bidders, looking to the control Of the bids
and an evasion of the 50-cent war tax i'm
posed on their contract bonds.
Considerable numbers of these bidders

for opening their own bids selecting os-
tensibly the lowest for filing with the de-
partment, suppressing the others and thus
also saving the revenue accruing to the
government from the large number Of
