 ''No," growled the tiger. Whats the difference?"

"REPELLING BOARDERS" ON THE
 MERRIMAC.

An episode which might have been
 humorous in other circumstances, but
 came very near being tragic, is de- scribed in Lieutenant Hobson's Century paper, '"The Sinking of the Merrimac," in the January magazine. This was Kelly's narrow escape from being shot
 by his comrades after the explosion of
 the torpedoes, and while they were waiting fer the ship to sink. Lieuten- ant Hobson says:
 There was nothing further to do but to accept the situation. We mustered counting heads, and thought all were present; but we must have counted wrongly, for after minute or two Kel- ly came across the deck on all fOurs. He had done his duty below with promptness and decision, and had come on deck to stand by his torpedo. While putting on his life preserver large projectile had exploded close at hand he thought against the mainmast-and he had been thrown with violence on the deck, face down, cutting away his upper lip on the right side.
 He must have lain there some little time unconscious, and had got up com pletely dazed, without memory. He looked on one side and then the other saw the engine room hatch-the first object recOgnized-and, under the force of habit, started down it, but found the way blocked by water, which had risen up around the cylinders. The sight ct the water seemed to bring back mem ory, and soon the whole situation dawned upon him; he mounted again, and with heroic devotion went to his torpedo only to find the cells and con nections destroyed, when he started for the rendezvous. He had, indeed, brought his revolver belt, so as to be in uniform, and adjusted it after reach ing us. His reception must have seem ed strange, for 1t was at the muzzle of
 my revolver. Thinking that our msn were all at hand, it was 3 strange sen sation to sse a man come up on all fours, stealthily, as it seemed, from be- hind the hatch. Could they be board ing ua 60 soon? My revolver covered him at ones, and looked to zee if eth CTS followed It was not until the re- volver was almost in his face that the unusual uniform showed that the man was one of us.

BUILD THE CANAL.

It is the most natural thing in the world that the United States should have the control and direction of the Nicaragua canal, the building of which is now considered to be merely a ques- tien of time. It is apparent that pri- vate enterprise cannot construct that most desirable artificial waterway.
 We cling to the Monroe doctrine with persistence that seems to astonish constructed this country should have the sole charge of it.
 An idea seems to prevail that it is to be simply an avenue for the use of our naval vessels in time of war. AS matter of fact the war use of the canal would merely be an incident. It is ab solutely needed for the vessels of com merce and England should be pleased with the prospects of a short cut to the Pacific. The saving of time for mer- chantmen would be of enormous value. Sailing vessels would save months and steam vessels would save many tons of coal and many days as well. The ca nal would be of great value to Ameri- can commerce and an increase in the number of American bottoms would naturally follow.
 The canal Is bound to come, and Eng land is not expected to make any seri- ous protest to control of the new water way by the United States. England would be benefited as much as this country. Let the canal oe provided for at once. Its construction is deemed possible and the work has been delayed too long.

PUSH THE FIESTA.

The fiesta idea is taking root. Many of the business men of Phoenix regard
 it favorably but they are mindful of the
 disagreeable incidents connected with the last fiesta and desire some assur- ance that everything relating to
 the enterprise will be conducted on a strictly business basis. That is the
 right idea. There should be no "hold-
 ups" in connection with the fiesta
 There should be no grinding of private axes. No schemes should be tolerated that sQuint toward the advancement of personal interests. If there is to be fiesta it must be conducted purely in the interest of the city of Phoenix.
 There can be no question of the value to this community of a well conducted spring carnival. Properly advertised and properly managed it would bring thousands Of strangers to the city and benefit every branch of trade. Realiz- ing the advantage that would accrue to the city through a successful fiesta The Republican herewith offers the use of it's columns free of charge to the committee on ways and means that may be organized to arrange for a fiesta, and pledges itself to do every thing in it's power to make the fiesta successful The Republican is not au- to speak for the other papers of Phoenix, but it assumes that they also will give their hearty support to the project.
 It is time for action in this matter and it is to be hoped that in a few days 3 fiesta organization will be formed and plans laid for securing the necessary money to push the project to a happy Several gentlemen have in dicated their willingness to contribute sums. They have good | ideas in relation to this proposition, and it is probable that very soon the fiesta movement will be well under way

ROMANCE FROM EVERY DAY LIFE

They were crowded in the corner of the car and the withered black hands of the older woman held a bunch Of crisp fresh holly.
 Seems like dis mought make me feel mo Christmasy," she said, looking at it meditatively. But somehow CT mud der it don't-not yit. MebOe it may chi-k me up a mite arter awhile. dunnol"
 She sighed, and the handsome young yellow girl" beside her looked around and said: "Sh-hl" furtively.

 She was beginning to feel Christ masy," for she laughed as shrilly as child. The young woman was visibly embarrassed.
 Don't talk, ma," she whispered. Folks are hearin' you" But the old mother was lost in tender memories and paid no attention. She went on smilingly:
 "Yo' was de sassies' lil gal. Eb'ry night when Christmas cOmed, yo'd sleep wifi one li'l eye open an I couldn' keep yo' kivered up nohow.

 The young girl turned toward her lovingly. All her foolish shame was gone.
 Nanny" she coaxed, q ain't too big to lay my head there now, am I, honey?"
 The old woman's face was illumi- mated
 "Co'se not, chil; co'se not!" Then she looked at the holly complacently, and said:

THE FIRST FIRING ON THE MFR
 RIMAC.

| Probably no single vessel was ever exposed to such hail of shot and shell
 as fell upon the Merrimac before she sank in Santiago harbor. From Lieu tenant Hobson's account of this famous exploit, graphically given in the Janu- ary Century, we extract this account of the first firing upon the ship, when it came within a quarter of a mile of Morro castle:
 Another ships length, and flash darted out from the waters edge at the left side of the entrance. The expected crash through the ships side did not follow, nor did the projectile pass over; it must have passed astern. Strange to miss at such short rangei Another flash-another miss! This time the pro- jectile plainly passed astern. Night glasses on the spot revealed a dark ob- ject-a picket boat with rapid-fre guns lying in the shadow As sure as fate he is firing at our rudder, and we shall be obliged to pass him brOadside with in a ships lengthi If we only had rapid-fire gun we could dispose of the miserable object in ten seconds; yet there he lay unmoiested, firing point blank at our exposed rudder, so vital and evaporation passed over me The admiration due this gallant little picket boat did not come till afterward.
 Glasses on the starboard bow showed the sharp, steel, step-like fall with which the western point of Morro drops into the water. This was the looked for guide, the channel carrying deep water right up to the wall. "A touch of port helmi" was the order. "A touch of port helm, sir" was the response. Steady" Steady, sir Now, even
  safe. Suddenly there was a crash from the port side. "The western battery has opened on us, siri" called Charette, who was still on the bridge, waiting to take the message to the engine room if tele- graph and signal cord should be shot away "Very well; pay no attention to it." replied, without turning.

While blizzards continue to ravage the east the weather in the Salt River valley remains perfect There are thousands of people in the east who would take the next train for Arizona if they knew what everybody here knows about this climate. The trouble is, Arizona is not advertised in the east. The people here are not alive to their opportunities. One of these days they will awaken, and then Phoenix will assume the position that rightfully belongs to it-that of being the most desirable winter resort on the globe.
