The Arizona Republican exerted
tremendous effort the other day
in its laudation of Gov. McCord.
Still that column and half of
praise was hardly necessary. If|
the Governor is the gilt winged
angle the Republican pictures him,
people will find it out. But at the
same time we have no objection to
the Republican singing the Cover
nor's praises if it does it honestly
and not make comparisons between
his and former administrations by
comforting figures and facts be.
longing to those former admins
trations. The Republican overdid
the thing.
1t says Gov. McCord found Ter
ritorlal warrants selling at IS cents.
This is not true, unless the '.drop"
took place when dealers in these
warrants found that McCord was
to be Governor. During the latter
part of the Franklin administration
Territorial general fund warrants,
those referred to by the Republican,
sold at 98 cents.
In comparing the expenses of
running the territorial government
during the last six months of Gov.
Franklin's administration and the
first SIX of Gov. McCord's. il
again shows an unfair spirit. 1t
says McCord's six months were
run with several thousand dollars
less than the Franklin six months.
Of course they were. 1t would be
hard, even for a Republican, to
spend more money during the first
SIX months of an administration
than during the closing of one,
when everything must be cleared
up as nearly as possible. And also
during Franklin's last six months
the expenses of Arizona's 10th
Legislature had to be footed,
amounting to several thousand dol
lars. The Franklin six months,
without the Legislature, were run
with less money than the McCord
six months.
In speaking of the convict labor
contract, it says the Territory will
be the gamer even if the water
rights it gets for this labor do not
become valuable, because the canal
will add a million dollars worth
of taxable property to the ter
ritory's resources. We would like
to know how, if the Territory's
stock does not become worth any
thing, the canal will reclaim any
land or add anything to the tax
able wealth Of the territory.
We will also state that Gov,
Franklin stood firmly against the
Yavupai county bond steal and
everything else calculated to rob
the people The Republican will
find comparisons to be all right il
they are honest, otherwise they
rCdound to the discredit of the one
lnaugurating them.

PRACTICALLY IN DISGRACE.
Belief That the President
Does not hold Secretary
Alger Blameless.
HE WAS NOT SENT FOR

Washington, Sept. FL am inform
ed tonight by an official high in Ad-
ministrative circles that the attitude of
the President concerning the War De-
partment investigation is such as to
warrant the belief that he does not hold
Secretary Alger blameless for the War
Department scandals, and that the Sec
retary is now practically in disgrace.
1t is known that the President suggest
ed that Secretary Alger should take a
long vacation, and that when he sum-
moned the absent members of the Cabi-
net to Washington to take part in pre-
pairing the final instructions to the
peace commission, he did not send for
Secretary Alger. This slight to the
Secretary of War was so open and ap-
parent that it has created the opinion
that Mr.. Ayers resignation would be
accepted whenever rendered.
Captain Evan P. Howell, editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, called at the
White House to-day and had an extend
ed conference with the President in re-
gard to the proposed investigation of
the War Department. After assuring
Captain Howell that the investigation
should be as thorough and complete as
possible and that he would do all in
his power to see that the commission
obtained all Of the evidence desired,
and that every paper and document in
the War department was placed at its
disposal, Mr.. Howell accepted the
place rendered him.
The President inquired about Gen.
Stephen B. Lee, President of the Ag-
ricultaral College of Mississippi and
Gen. VIM. H. Jackson, of Nashville,
and suggested that their appointments
on the commission would prove emf
nently satisfactory to the President and
the country.
While nothing definite can be learn
ed to-night, [ am informed from a semi
official source that the President has
rendered a place ON the commission to
General Jackson.
General Jackson's name was suggest
ed to the President several days ago by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
became very much attached to the Ten
nessean during his visit to Belle Meade
farm last summer.

children, all of whom inherit the sterl-

edge when we say that we have never
seen better woman than the dead
mother, whose pulseless form, "cold
and still under the coffin-lid," now
awaits the last sad rites of sepulture
wrapped in the garements of the grave.
She was ripe for death. She had
reached the Autumn-tims of life, when

undaunted faith she met the last enemy
with triumphant hopes she entered

with q colored member of the 10th CAY

trench.
Gen. Wheeler asked the negro why
he could't.
"Gineral, can do it, "but I'd jes
rather wait until mornin'."
"But if you wait until morning, u
said General Wheeler, "when the sun
rises the Spaniards will begin moving
you down by companies. Now is the
time you oughtto dig your trenches"
"Gen. Wheeler convinced the dar-
key that he could dig a trench better
than any man in his command and he
returned to the lines yowing that he
would have his part of the work done
before night.
But the lietenant still insisted that
the men couldn't dig trench.
At the request of Gen. Wheeler the
lieutenant brought him a colored troop.
er of the 9th cavalry who said that he
had tried to dig trench and was un-
successful.
"Go back to the line," said General
Wheeler, "and bring me your pick and
shovel, I'lF show you how to dig q
trench"
The trooper soon returned with the
tools, and Gen. Wheeler took hold Of
the pick and told the negro to go lay
down and take a nap that he would
have a trench dug for him as a model
in short time.
The negro turned to go but wher
Gen. Wheeler, whosemuscular strength
amounts to little, made the earth fly by
several strokes of the pick, he stopped
the general and told him that he had
reached the conclusion that he coult
just naturally" dig trench.
After this no more complaint alone
this line was heard.
The two negro troopers, on return
ing to their respective companies, in
formed their comrades how Gen. Wheel
er had convinced them that they coult
dig trenches. This went from one enc
of the line to the other and there was
no cessation in the work that night.
Mr.. Cramer says that Gen. Wheel4
exposed himself in the thickest of thu
enemy's fire. and that he wrote orders
etc, on top of cannon wheels while thu
cannon were belching forth fame an(
shell, and while Mauser bullets and
shrapnel were falling all around.
Mr.. Cramer praises General Chaffet
highly for his brilliant work during th,
campaign. Gen. Chaffee was at the ex
treme end of the line next to Genera
Wheeler's division. Gen. Wheeler. h,
says, mapped out and executed the plal
by which the American lines wer,
closed in around Santiago in the shap,
of horse shoe.
Mr.. Cramer is gratified with Th
Times suggestion that Gen. Wheeler
be accorded a public reception whel
he passes through Chattanooga to hi
home in Alabama. He believes that
reception of this kind would bring to
gether at this point all the prominen
men of the south and would be
fitting testimonial to Gen. Wheeler
