TEE TEACHERS INs.r7i : ! F.

Every citizen who has st heart the
 welfare of the commonwealth will feel
 an interest ii the joint county teach
 CTS institute io be held in Phoenix
 this week Tie future of our republic
 depends in Ia Ige measure on the work
 now done h our common schools.
 Teachers sh hld be selected with the
 greatest cars and should receive every
 advantage which the state can justly
 afford them. Only the best at
 tainable talent for instruction in terri
 torial Institutes and educational con
 ventions should be provided, that the
 teachers may feel richly repaid for
 their atie tdance, and that they may receive rFal and lasting benefit from
 the instfuction given. The university and the normal schools should be sus-
 tained on broad foundations, and
 should be compelled to adopt the
 highest possible standard for their
 graduates. Any other course will
 weaken the whole school system. The territory should give 3 good education
 to it's children, and should therefore give special care to the education Of the teachers of it's children. One of the most important offices of the common
 wealth is that of superintendent of public instruction It should always be filled by a man by education and temperament well qualified to perform it's duties, one whose mind and heart are filled with enthusiasm for his work. Fortunately such 8 man now occupies this responsible position. Communal ties should exercise great care in se lecting school trustees and members of the board Of education. For these of fees should be selected able, bread minded men who have at heart the cause of education and are willing t O make sacrifices to advance 1t. Then these men should be continued in office and should he sustained in their work. ! Their task is usually a thankless one, ! and should receive more outspoken ap- preciation from those for whose chil- 1 dren these unpaid public officers are making sacrifices.
 Party politics or personal preiudiceS | should not enter into the choice of school officers, Too often trustees are put in office because certain people do | not want new school house, or be- | cause a certain person wants position i as a teacher. In a school election 1 there should be no favoritism, no yield | ing to political or social prejudices: the matter is too important to be trifed with The men who are best qualified by ability, experience and manly worth should ba elected, and they should con sider their office as q sacred trust, making them responsible in TO small ] degree for the future welfare of the youth Of the community Given . wise trustees, faitbful teachers ;. and a community interested in educa- ton, and good schools are certain to Ee the result.

SHE MUsN'T ASK QUESTIONS.
4 Mother-in-Law's Practical Advice to
 Her Sons Wife.

And if I were you I would never ask him where he has been if he should come home very, very late I had an experience in that line with his father many years ago, and I learned then that if I was to have any respect for him I must never ask him any qUes- tiOns, and especially when he was late. '
 This was the admOnitiOn Of moth er-in-law to the new wife of her son. Tbe new wife concluded to make use of it early in the house and told it to her husband The latter caught his father at the club and told it as his mother had told it:
 William came in quite late or early as you prefer 1 had not slept Q wink I had worn out my slippers walking, wandering, waiting and thinking only as a woman can and will. Of course it was a comforting relief when he did come, and I had made up my mind that I would not upbraid him. Never do that unless you are very sure. If you can corner a man, all right, but if he thinks you only suspect he expands in importance. So. when William came up that morning, for it was after ? o'clock, dear, I met him kindly and took off his hat and wrap. But some how, while 1 was giving him the little attentions which man likes and which l trust you will always give to my koy, l could not restrain Q little curiosity, and without intending to clapperclaW or to seem hypercritical, just asked in a young wife's solicitous way: William, where have you been?' You know, if he had rallied at me or snapped me up, as I have heard of men doing at such times. I think I should I-3 Al ing But he said in his quiet way, which I have always noticed in him:

R1G1DITY OF GERMAN ETIQUETTE.

A London gentleman at present Yis-
 iti1g Munich has had . singular eX- perience of the rigidity of German eti- Quette. Wishing to witness the arrival
 of the kaiser he, as the saying goes,
 moved heaven and earth to obtain 9 ticket of admission to the railway plat form. His efforts were successful, and armed with an official card he joyfuily passed the jealously guarded barriers and secured a good place. But while he waited among the select crowd he was, to his great surprise, accOstad by a stern official in military uniform and ordered cut of the station. Being i'm perfectly acquainted with the Bavarlan form of the German language, he could not understand why he was thus ign0- miniOusly expelled. At last Ee met a friend who, acting as his interpreter, ascertained the cause of his election. Even at the early hour of 10 a. n. he had arrayed himself in evening attire, faultless in all respects but one He had rashiy or ignorantly covered his head with a felt hat, and thus crowned it was impossible that he could be al lowed to appear in the imperial pres enca. Needless to say, he at once hur ried to a neighboring hatter's, and hay ing purchased an unexceptiCnAble silk topper" presented his card once more and was admitted in time to see the coming of the kaiser.-London Tele- graDh

IT DOESN'T WORRY ROOSEVELT.

Governor elect Theodore Roosevelt is occupying a very large space in public thought at present. Every one is watching and wondering what he will do and how soon it will be before he is at loggerheads with the state repub- lican machine. There is curiosly eX- isting an idea that a clash is inevitable over matters legislative and appointive before long, and there appears to be an atmospheric pressure indicative of future trouble; but the colonel is nov ing On peacefully and calmly, perfectly content to let the other fellows do all the worrying.-From a New York Dis patch.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 2s.-com-
missioner Of Indian Aftairs william A.
Jones, who has been for week in Min
nesoto, making negotiations which were
successful, with the Chippewa Indians
for the resumption of peaceful relations
with the government, has returned to
washington and to-day made verbal
report to Secretary Bliss upon his work.
Commissioner Jones says the troubleis
attributable 10 the methods OF the
whites In the vicinity, who are taking
gross advantage OF the Indians. In
discussing the outbreak, he said to-day:
"The origin Of the whole trouble was
dissatisfaction with the handling or the
Indians timber, but the Immediate
cause was Irritation at the frequent ar
rests Of Indians on trivial causes, OF
ten for no cause at all, taking them
down 10 Duluth and Minneapolis for
trial. two hundred miles away from
their agency, and then turning Them
adrift without means to return home.
have information that there Is o regular
Arrangement between deputy United
states marshals and some boarding
houses where the courts are located, by
which the deputies are to bring down
delegations of Indians as witnesses In
whisky and other cases. This secures
fees for the deputies and money for the
boarding places. The Indians were
prompted to their outbreak by the
wrongs committed on them and chated
under unfair treatment, When reach
ed there they were surly, uSlV detant'
but soon adopted concillatoV attitude
and finally agreed to negotiate tor the
surrender OF the men wanted All OUT
two were surrendered.
'tThe Indians now will go back 70
their homes and live peacably II the
whites viii treat them fairly, which u
very likely, as the whites were thor
ouEhiy Impressed with the stand taken
by the Indians. In this respect the ont-
break has taught them lesson"

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, oct. 26.-Ma-
jor Petit, In command OF the United
states troops at Atanzanillo and mill
tary governor of the city, telegraphed
to-day that the cugan General Rios Of
fers 200 armed men to neslst the Ameri-
cans in preserving order, merely asktnE
rations In return. General Wood sent
the following reply: Certainly not. The
only conditions on which ratlons arc to
be issued were the complete dlEarnla-
ment and disbandment OF the troops"
Some OF the Cubans here consider that
the United States 10 treating its allies
badly in not allowing the Cuban forces
to remain armed. They contend that
tine Cuban soldiers who have been fight
ing three years, who speak the language
Of the country, are better fitted for gar
rlson duty, than "untralned volunteers.
The Cuban general, Macla Rodriguez,
virtually voices the sentiment OF the Gu
han army when he says: eve thank the
United States for the assistance u has
given us, but the time has now arrived
when the Cubans should be placed In the
highest offices and should prepare to take
over the Island on the departure of tho
Spanish"
Cuban extremists here are jubilant at
the reported attitude OF the Cuban as
sembly at Santa Cruz del Sur. where the
delegates. while expressing their grau-
tude TO the Americans, practically de-
mand a distinctive Cuban government.
The Cuban moderRtes on the other hand,
regret, thinking Il best for the United
States authorities to continue In charge
OF Affairs for year at least, so as 10 set
thlnge going and to prevent any compile
cations with foreign governments. Those
who advocate annexation TO the United
States are extremely anxious as to the
outcome.
The foreign consuls are considering
the advisablllty OF applying to the pow
ers to prevent too hasty recognition Of
the Cuban government.
