Inc Absurd Confederate Parallel.
IFrom lhe New YorI. WorIl.I


 Various timid and ill-intormed news papers cite the civil war as a warning. that our contest with Spain may be long and dreadful.
 There is no possible parallel between the two cases. It is simply preposter- ous.
 l. First of all, the Confederates were Americans. not Spaniards-an important difference.
 ?. Their armies were commanded by some of the very ablest West Point CTS then living, including Lee, Jackson, the two Johnstons, Beauregard, Long, street, Stuart and others, soldiers equal to any that war has ever produced. 3. These Americans stood face to face with the Union armies from the very outset. They were not trans ported 1000 miles. They fought on their own ground.
 i. They numbered half million fighting men, whereas Spain has not HAGFE iitt -HsNbU cnccblN6 bOluleES III Cuba and cannot land any more.
 ,. They had their homes, their corr fields, their cattle pastures, their pig pens and their smoke.house at their backs. Thes had 4 ooo q0Q pegro farm. hands to raise food supplies while the white men fought. They had resources such as poor, bankrupt and revolution racked Spain has not had h century. 6. The civil war divided the country. This war unites it. The North ana South are standing together as one man, and our war-making power rep resents now the combined force of both Union and Confederate fighting plus a great increase in wealth, popula- tion, transit facilities, food production, international credit and all other re- sources. Plus also all the teaching of that costly war lesson, plus experienced officers and soldiers still ready for duty, and plus powerful navy. 1 The country that faces Spain squite Ave times as potent as was the divided country that tried conclusions with itself in 1861. Comparison in, such 8; case is simply absurd.

It is not generally k nown, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that Arizona con tains the largest pine forests in the world; that is, the largest unbroken forest of pine. The forest referred to touches the railroad near Flagstaff and stretches for ITO miles southeast into New Mexico, having an average width of forty miles. Five different com panies are now engaged in getting lumber from this forest.

HE'S HAD EXPERIENCE.
of the Colonel of the Cow
 boy Regiment.
TFrona the Phoenix Republlcan.l l

fFrona the Phoenix Republican,
 Dr. Leonard Woods, who has been designated by the President as colonel of the cowboy regiment, was not se- lected by reason of the fact that he was the personal friend and family physician of the President. Dr. Woods has had a great deal of actual experi- ence. He was stationed . in this terri tory for several years and took prom inent part in the campaign against Geronims. He was a surgeon, but on one occasion was appointed to the command of a couple of companies and made one of the boldest and most energetic officers. He soon earned the title among the soldiers of Fighting Saw Bones." He once led party of Indian scouts and a handful of troop CTS on fifty-mile march on foot in the Sierra Madres. Dr. Woods wholly abandoned his business as surgeon un- til there was no more fighting to be done. His conduct as an officer earned him Q highly honora ole mention, and it was no doubt this fact that prompt ed his appointment to the command of this crack regiment.

Will It Be a Picnic?

The Chicago Chronicle says: "As the prospect of war, becomes more clearly defined, we hear less, fortun- ately of the wild talk of e few weeks ago about disposing of Spain in one round. It is good thing.
 Maybe we shall lick lem in . punch,' as Mir. Fitzsimmons disposed of MT. Maher down near Fl Paso two or three years ago. Maybe the dons will make mere pretense of fighting to save appearances and then scuttle for home to report that all is lost save honor.
 "Then, again, maybe they won't, and, if they won't and don't, then we may make up our minds that we are in for something more than mere practice cruises and exhibition drills. If the Spaniard makes up his mind to fight for all he is worth-to ex- haust his resources in the prosecution of war which means lar more to him than it means to us-he is going to cause us heap Of trouble.
 Patriotism of the ebullient, unre- iecting kind gayly vociferates that we can lick all creation. So we can, but all creation or any part thereof is likely to bite and scratch and gouge while the correcting process is going  on, and the Spaniard has never en- 1oyed a reputation for meekness. His ways are said to be devious and his temperament treacherous, rather than brave, but when he is cornered he fights, and he fights hard. He is an average human being. In the pres ent instance he has every inducement to fight, and we should be foolish to hold him cheaply.
 "only July 21, 1861, numerous Con gressmen, journalists and society peo- pie drove blithely out from Washing ton some twenty-five miles to little stream known as Bull Run. They had luncheon and champagne in their carriages and had made preparations for sort of fete champetre, or basket picnic, after the Southern Confederasy should have been blown into smither- eeps. They had no doubt whatever of the resnlt Yet on the evening Of that day those Congressmen and jour nalists and society people were seen running like scared rabbits toward the national capital. Some of them haven't recovered their breath since. And it was not till four years after that holiday excursion that Che south ern Confederacy finally gave up the ghost at Appomattox.
 We don't want any such unpleasant incidents in connection with this com ing war. The Spaniards are not to be compared with the men who fought under Lee and Jackson, under John- ston and Beauregaad, but we shall deserve discontinue if we go up against them with the idea that they are going to be knocked over like tenpins without hitting back.
 "The hidalgo, after all, will be fighting for his country, for his flag and for the honor of nation that once swayed the destinies of Europe. He will be very scuryy fellow in- deed, if, under these circumstances, he fails to make it as interesting as possible for a foe who threatens to deprive him of his last heritage in America"
 "He has ships and men, and, though he is little short of money, he can and he will put up lively fight. Let no one believe otherwise.
