NOT FAIRLY TREATED.

AS the matter has turned out, and judging
 from the personnel of the two troops already
 raised for the so-called cowboy regiment, the
 men could have been selected from the various COmpan.es of the Arizona National Guard. As a matter of fact, not ten per cent oftbe two con-
 panies are genuine cowboys We know that
 Company K. !" has, or did have, several thor Oughbred cowbOys--men that can ride anything that wears hair--and no doubt Company q" ,"
 too, could turn olt several genuine cowboys. The N G. A. should have been given the first chance in the 'crack regiment"
 We clip the above from the Pick and Drill. of Prescott. Its editor, Colonel A. F. Banta, was formerly lieutenant of Company "K," of this place, and knows the personnel of the command, From what We learn from the newspa- pers, we do not think this celebrated cowboy" regiment contains anything near the proportion of the genuine ar ticle as does Company "K." Fully one- third of the latter command are cow boys and expert riders, while all the balance are accustomed to camp life and roughing it. There is not a mem- Der of the company who is not fair horseman, and every one Of them is a qualified nfeman or better. A large proportion of the men are experts and sharpshooters. They are all justly in dignant at being film damned" in this manner The way in which they were sidetracked left this county with put representation of any kind, The members of this so-caned "cowboy" seems to have been recruited from the sor. af cowboys that ranges up and down Washington street, Fnoe-

A St. Louis physician, who is con firmed old bachelor, has started out to reform the habit that obtains of dress ing babies in long clothes. He says that it is necessary for the proper de- velopment of babies that they should have plenty of leg room in which to kick. The St. Louis doctor is no doubt right. This thing of beginning at the very start in life to deprive a free Am erican citizen of the right to klck is Tn violation of the principle of republican government, and should have an end put to it.

 There is very little doubt that the wit ty speech of Private John Allen, of Mis- sissippi, shamed enough republican members of the house to save the seat of Representative Carmack oi Tennes- see, which was contested by Josiah Pat terson, who ran against him as a gold democrat and was supported by repub- Hcans. Six republicans voted for Car
 mack and number did not vote at all. IL had been understood thai the solid republican vote fad been pledged to Patterson by General Gr0sveuor and other leaders of the party. but after John Allen had shown up in nio own iI.- imitable manner the zigzag financial ca reer of Josiah Patterson, emphasizing his points by string of his best stories, the vote was taken and Josiah was de- feated by vote of 139 to 120.
 long story might be told about the lightning cabinet change, in which Edi- tor Charles Emory Smith succeeded Merchant James A.

TREASON WON'T GO.

From the larger cities of this territory comes
 the report that many of the Mexican residents
 arc in sympathy with Spain, so much so as to become obnoxious. These individuals can be found in Graham county even in safford In this connection we desire to say that sentiments of this character will not be tolerated in this community from any source, and those holding them had better leave the country or they will be summarily dealt with America is not large enough to allow any Spanish Sympathizcr to be

 The above article is from the last number of the Stafford Guardian. We can hardly realize that there is any very great danger of annoyance from this source, About One-half of the population of St. Johns are Mexicans, and We have yet to hear of any express sions of sympathy for Spain coming from them. On the contrary, we have heard many expressions of patriotic sentiment from them since the war be gan.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
 WASHINGTON, April p, 1898.
 One country, one flag, and one ob- ject-the licking of Spain. That is the all-prevailng sen iment in Washington since the war actually begun Now that Mr Mckinley has shaken off the Hanna peace-at-any-pr crowd and their be- mum ping influence, he has become thor oughly alive to the necessities of the situation This has been particularly noticeable during the past week. He started on the right track when he asked congress for authority to use the army and navy to drive Spain out of Cuba he took the proper step when he sent that ultimatum to Spain; again when he recognized he dismissal of our min- ister by spain as an act of war; again wh, n he issued orders for our fleet to blockade Cuba, and yet again when he issued his proclamation calling for IZ5 GOO men to serve two years unless sooner discharged. Congress is right behind every one of these moves, and the people are right behind congress The enthusiasm is unprecedented, and every Spanish flag captured by our war ships add to f The only regret that is heard i> t5al an vho desire Co par.ioi- pate In averaging the Maine cannot do so. a. each .,air will insist ou .l.H -t5--
