A man has to have pluck tc make sue- cess of any calling. A man must have the backbone to take knock-down blows and get Up again and again and fight on.
 Pluck and stamina are largely question of good health. It only takes one knock down blow to finish man with a headache. It only takes small setback to disconcert a nervous and shaky man. A bilious, head achy man goes into bankruptcy at the first embarrassment. A nervous man who does not sleep at night and gets up shaky in the morning gives up the battle of business at tue first Encouragement.

NEED AGGRESSIVE ACTION. Delay Adds Strength to Spanish De-
 lenses in Cuba.

Washington, May 20.-The Star.
 correspondent at Key West telegraph. | as follows: Events indicate that thu time for final aggressive movement has come without regard to the in. surgents. They are at most only ar incident in the war between the Unit ed States and Spain. In long cam paign they would be useful as allies and in any circumstances it is desir-
 able to supply them with rations and
 with arms.
 Captain Dorst's expedition, which is
 landing equipments for the insurgents,
 is beneficial in it's way, but can have
 no effect in bringing hostilities to an
 early close.
 The same is true of supplying Go
 mez's army of insurgents. In taking
 Havana they will be of aid as allies,
 but they can. never be. chief actors. When Havana has war vessels in front and regular troops from the United States hemming it in from the land sides, the end of war will be in sight. The quicker this concentration comes the easier will be the restoration of peace. In the time since hostilitles opened the power of the Spanish to resist has been greatly strengthened
 That more American lives should be lost in unimportant engagements of Cardenas and Cienfuegos than in the destruction of the Spanish fleet in the Philippines and in reducing San Juan is perhaps to be regarded as an incident of the war, but if present methods continue it is certain that more lives will be lost without definite purpose.
 Yesterday while threading the shoals and reefs of Cardenas bay I saw evi- dences of activity on the part of Span ish troops in strengthening the shore defences. The same thing is true of MatanZas and other places. While the can soon reduce these forti- ications they have no men to spare to land and hold them. When an as- sault is made on Havana it may be desirable to shell all these ports and keep cavalry and infantry occupied, which would otherwise be thrown into Havana for it's defense.

STILL FORCING AHEAD.

The Republican has entered upon the ninth year of its ex- istence. It has from the first been a progressive newspaper. There was a period when its management was faulty, and it paid the penalty in diminished resources and loss of prestige. Since October, 1896, when the present owner assumed control, The Republican has advanced rapidly in every department. It was enlarged a year ngo to meet the demands upon it's advertis- ing columns, and today it's ad- vertising patronage is so great that further enlargement is made necessary. This is eepec- ially gratifying in view of the fact that the advertising rates of The Republican are much higher than those of other Phoenix newspapers. This newspaper is run on business principles. Ad- vertisers are required to pay rates in proportion to the cir culation of The Republican, which exceeds that of the other local papers combined. As soon as possible a perfecting press will be installed 1n this ofhce, | and the paper will be enlarged, to the end that Republican read CTS. as well as advertisers, may | continue to get the full worth or 1 the money they invest in this i newspaper.
 The Republican enters upon it's ninth year with every assur- ance of continued success in it's field.

TO PACIFY THE TIMID.

It is not to be doubted that hearts
 palsied easily by fear have habitation
 in this territory noted for the bravery of it's people generally. And it is
 within the circle of charity to mildly 1 serve the platter Of pacifcation unto
 these trembling mortals, just the same
 here in the region where should dwell
 only the stout heart and brawny arm, | as it is done in the villages of per fected civilization in New Hampshire Vermont, Rhode Island or Connecticut,
 where at night bars and chains assist
 bolts and locks in keeping the unright-
 eous from molesting that which l doth not belong to them,
 and where the still hours of
 the long night are unsilenced from
 time to time by the voice of the con-
 stable proclaiming in his vigil, What
 ho! neighbors, sleep well, I protect thee from all harm"
 There is a man under the bed" Alas, how oft hath this shrill allega- tion resounded and reverberated
 through hall, vestibule and kitchen,
 penetrating even unto the cellar, in
 dead hour of night. Alas, also, how oft hath search failed to reveal foun- dation for that narrowing cry.
 Bogies have their homes, we pre- sume, everywhere. In Arizona the Indian is the bogy of the timid. The lot do
 tribe, and perhaps not as to sex. It is a fact, though, that without shadow of excuse they cry out, "the Indians are rising!" In the present instance the selection of tribe has been unfortunate, as much so as if a | mistake had been made as to the sex. From the earliest history of the Papa goes peace and laziness have been their most striking attributes never l departing from the set rule of the for mer excepting in the interest of the whites, and never abandoning the lat ter even though strongly tempted by the same.
 But the timid must be pacif1ed andl so we reprint from the Denver Repub- lican portion of an interview with f Colonel Sumner, who has in his keep ing Arizona's safety:
 While he admitted that he had re- ceived letters from settlers, who said there was liable to be trouble, not one of his officers at the various posts lad as yet written him a line con- in JA o1 ( .hough they are under orders to com om of any trouble.
 Some days ago, to satisfy the settlers n Arizona, he ordered two troops of ,avalry to do some scout duty to show he settlers that he was ready to pro [ 5ect them at any time, and also to { show the Indians that while thousands )f men have left the forts for the war here are just as many men left to proceed against them should they take t into their heads to go on the war ,ath.
 T have no idea that there will be lny trouble with the Indians," re- marked Col Sumner last evening. The settlers have grown a little un- asy because so many of the troops lave been ordered away from the ,osts. They are afraid, and asked me O protect them. My officers have not written me line that would lead me o think that there was the least possi- ,ility of any outbreak, but to please hem, and to show the Indians that we lave an eye upon them, two troops Ire doing scout duty along the Mexi- an border"

SCARCITY OF CARS.
Mines Shut Down Because of the
Scarcity of Cars.

The usual scarcity of coal which is ex-
perienced every winter in the birmingham
district, is beginning to be felt. That is
there is not enough coal being mined to
supply the demand.
This is not the only cause, however, that
is giving the coal mining companies trouble.
Yesterday the Sloss Iron and Steel COM
pany was compelled to shut down one of it's
mines for the simple reason that enough
cars could not be secured to handle the
output. In consequence, the entire output
of this mine is taken out of the market,
and in this way the coal famine, as some
people choose to call it, is made more
marked.
This scarcity of cars which the mine OPP
orators complain of Is nothing unusual and
is experienced every fall. It's main cause is
the heavy movements of cotton and pig
iron which are just now being made. Even
these two products have to suffer. Both of
them are being shipped in fiat cars, some
thing which is never done when there are
plenty of box cars. The Alabama Great
Southern railroad has started a system of
cotton trains, running between Birming-
ham and Meridian, stopping at every sta
ton to load the cotton there on open fiat
cars, and then running on to the next sta
ton. Over thousand bales were taken
into Meridian In this ay Sunday night.
Coal unlike SO many other products, cam
not be mined in the summer months when
there is so little consumption, and stored
away for use in winter. There is so little
profit anyhow in mining coal that to store
1t away after mining, and then handle 1t
ON to the cars again in winter to take 1t to
market, would be fatal so far as the min
er's pocketbook is concerned. Consequently.
as coal has to be loaded on cars and
brought to market as soon as 1t is mined,
there Is always a scarcity of cars when
the heavy demand for coal comes in the
fall months.

THEIR APPEAL.
United Charities Ask the Citizens fol-
Aid in Their Work.

The Society of United Charities, which

through the frec-will offerings of the gen.
erous public, makes this appeal for contri-
buttons for the coming year:
Aid given 629 families and relief afforded
/ GIG individuals, is a brief statement of
The record made by the society from Octo-
her. 1897, to October 1898.
The poor we have with us always, but 1t
is believed that with the growth of the city
and consequent increase of population, the
demands upon the society for help will be
greater during the coming year than ever
before. 1t is earnestly hoped, therefore,
that all who appreciate the necessity for
organized charitable effort, will assist in
the great work to the extent of their
ability. Funds are needed now to meet I'M
mediate pressing wants, and 1t Is especially
desired that all who can will make regular
contributions.
If it is convenient for you we would be

AT CHURCH OF THE ADVEN 7

The mortal remains of Chief Deputy Sher-
if Robert Warnock were yesterday laid to
rest in beautiful Oak Hill cemetery.
The funeral occurred at 10 o'clock and a
vast throng of the friends of the martyred
officer gathered in the sacred portals of
the Church of the Advent to pay the last
respects at the bier of a man whom they
had loved in life. The remains were ac-
companied from the family residence by the
relatives and immediate friends of the de-
ceased and by the members of Jefferson
Valley lodge, Knights of Pythias, Of which
he was member.
The services were conducted by Rev. john
G. Murray according to the beautiful lit
urgy of the Episcopal church. As the
rector told the story of the resurrection as
presented by st. Paul, in the 18th chapter
of the First Corinthians, solemn stiffness
fell upon the vast congregation and many
eyes were wet with tears. as
Few there were VINO could realize that
Bob Warnoek, so full of life and hope, lay
cold in death in the velvet casket that
rested at the foot OF the altar.
At the conclusion of the services 1t was
announced that the casket would be opened
and all who desired could take last look
at the dead. Hundreds took advantage OF
the opportunity and filed slowly past the
casket where the brave officer lay, as If
in sleep. The casket was then closed and
was borne to the hearse and the cortege
moved slowly towards the cemetery, where
the casket was lowered into the grave.
Many beautiful floral offerings were sent
by friends, which were banked around the
mound.
The pall-bearers were Captain Frank P.
OBrien, Albert Stradford, w. K. Terry,
John e. Ellis John E. Bradley and John
McCartin.

society has grown with great rapidity and
there are branches of it in all the countries
where there is an Episcopal church.
