THE BULLETS.
4 Judge Who Liked to Argue

On the way home we were stopped by man. who said:
 Judge, is it quite likely that the loser of that suit will shoot at you through a window tonight to secure revenge"
 "Yes. quite likely, thanks" pleas antly replied tnejudge. as we passed on.
 "At the supper table his wife appe- ared nervous and uneasy, and before the meal was concluded she said:
 ''Alfred, man has been seen in front of the house acting rather suspiciously. and I'm afraid he means you harm"
 "Yes, Pm afraid so. my dear" replied the judge, and then took up the conver- SdblOu Su0 Ddu
 After supper we adjourned to the Ii- brary, and by and by. as we sat at the table, with kerosene lamp between us, there arose an argument connected with the political question.
 "Sir." said the judge, as he grew heated by opposition, "they may bring all their sophistry to bear on the ques- ton, but nothing will convince me that"
 At that instant felt a hot streak along my left cheek. and the lamp chimney was shivered into a hundred pieces, and the light went out. The judge rang hand bell which was with in reach, and 1 thought 1 heard the notes of the bell before the report of a rife in front of the house. 4 negro man came running in. and the judge said:

Begun in April

II is fact worthy of notice at this time that all the wars in which the United States has been engaged have begun in the month of April.
 The 1rst battle oI tnU revolution was fought at Lexington On April 19, 1775.
 The opening of the war of 1872 was naval battle in April of that year.
 The bombardment of Fort Brown. which began the Mexican war, was opened on April 26. lS46
 The first gun of the civil war was fired on April 9, 1861.
 It is also a fact that several of the French and Indian wars began Tn this month. It would be especially approp- riate then, if there IS to be war with Spain. that it should begin in April.
 And this IS April.

A COPPERHEAD ECHO.

The Graham County Bulletin, in it's
 last issue, prints the following article
 There Is no manifestation of any desire in this
 part of the territory, so far as we have learned to volunteer in case troops are called for as a result of declaration of war. This is not be- cause our people are not loyal and patriotic, but in our opinion, is attributable to the fact that there are but few men in Arizona who are not profitably employed, and they know that their services will not be needed in a war with Spain, and further, that the tenth man who will offer to volunteer in the big cities and other eastern centers of population will be denied enl stmnnt. Inc people out ne e in Arizona are engaged in the development of a new country, making homes and establishing industrial enterprises for their support, and they would make unusual sa rlhce by goug away to war or f0r any ot4g1 purpose E5" ser, should the time eye, come when ae eaun-ry was 'u real danger and in neoA O. Ge.eH"os. .g~.E ....- section. NrizguBus woul be ready to ma oh to the front.
 Away back in Ono during the time of the late war, when the writer was q boy, articles similar to the above were printed daily in the copperhead press of that state, and the appearance of such literature at this crisis sounds al. most like an echo of those troublous times. The jingoes of those days promptly got mad and went to fighting immediately Fort Sumter was fired upon. The copperh ads were a DOT
 tion of the community who stayed at home and made trouble for the author ities and all engaged in the work of suppresslng the rebellion. This DOT ti"n of the community also developed vast number of constitutional law yers, who could talk loud and long in criticim of every act of the proper au- thoritIes. The present crisis has de- velOped a crop of the same sort of ad- vocates, and IS even being induIged to some extent by the press, as witness the above. The fact is that the people of Arizona, and we don't except those of Graham county, are as patriotic as those of any other portion of the United States, and demand to have a hand in punishlng Spain for her numer- ous crimes. The editor of the Bulletin is undoubtedly "wlllIng to shoulder musket should there be any Teal dan ger" The weak point is that he pro- poses to be the sole judge Of the emer- peucV

not. That is to say if a Democrat be-

Because Spain has begun to negotiate
it cannot be inferred that she necessarl-
~ expects peace at once. Spanish dlplo-
macy has the reputatio ion Of being the
widest on earth. Its motto has been de-
lay, from which the Spaniards always
seem able to extract some comfort. and
often some success. Spain has also always
sought some means, no matter how puer-
lie 1t may seem, to save her pride. When
she finally closed her long war against
the patriots of Holland she avoided recog.
milton of their nationality by truce Of
ten years rather than by treaty OF peace.
TO this day Spain does not admit Official
" that Gibraltar is in the hands OF the
British, except temporarily. So 1T may
be expected that in the present instance
there will be all sorts of twistings and
turnings to save the direct admission of
defeat. BUT one thing the Spanish diplo-
macy is not doing-it is not stopping our
armies short of complete victory. General
Miles is moving forward in Porto Rico as
if no peace negotiations were in progress;
and this wise policy of our government
more than anything else, will cut the
diplomatic skein which Spain will try to
use, and force her at once to come down,
to the real facts in the case.

In sinking the hull offa vessel at the
entrance to the harbor of San Juan the
Spanish defenders will probably find as
has often been proved before, that such
distractions are very uncertain. The
Union forces tried the same plan in their
efforts to stop blockade Runners from en-.
tering Southern ports during the war ;
but rarely with SUCCESS The Merrimao,
sunk by Hobson in the channel at Santi'
ago, did not prove real obstruction to
Ceryera's fleet. The chisf value OF
the sinking oe the MerriInac was the
proof it gave of the valor and devotion
of the men of our navy.
