MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
He Looked Like the Man Who Had
Exhibited an Educated
Pig. -.

"My pride had fall the other day." said
a well-known man who is prominent in pub
lie affairs. "a few days back had to 60
to little town in the western part of the
state on a matter of business. The matter
that took me there was soon transacted,
and to amuse myself until it was time to take
my train back, attended the fair that

l was being pointed out, and such express

greeted my ears.
Il began to think that I would be called
upon to make a speech, and was thinking
up what could say that would be of in

RI had to admit that wasn't, and as

was only one of the common herd, looking
at the big pumpkins and crooked-nosed
squashes.

me, had exhibited an educated pig the year
before, and | had been mistaken for him. -

THE APPARENT REASON.
slant Wearing of the
HalOs.

Dotty sat on stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book. There were angels and cherubim
and harplsts galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic
ture in the book was of dozen or more
angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perplexed.
After minutes thought she held the book
up to her mother and said: '.'See, mamma
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads"
DEAR" she said.
".And what's the funny rings on theil
heads, mammal" the child asked.
"Ihose are halos, Dotty."

His Happiest Moment.

for it was the seventh anniversary of their.
marriage, "what was the happiest 'momen .

two weeks ago and the bitten place is
still quite sore. At first the wound show

and die still entities it to some consid-

Associate Justice Brewer recently re-
marked to some of bis Kansas friends
that if we had read in the bible Of such
exploits as those of Dewey and Schley
we could scarcely bring ourselves to
believe them" We are afraid the hon.
orable gentleman spoke hastily and un-
der the excitement of the occasion,
says an exchange. There is nothing in
either of the victories to compare for
moment with the victory of Gideon,
who blew up the breastworks of Jeri-
cho with rams horn. And in naval
affairs the conquest of Manila is far
less tax upon the credulity than that
little business of Moses with the Egyp-
tians at the Red Sea. And pray tell US
what is the comparison to be made be-
tween Sampson, who slew 600 Spanish
with his monster gunboats, and Samp-
son who slew 10000 Philistines with the
jawbone Of an ass?

The republican press of the territory
are still trying to persuade the people
to send republican delegate to con-
gress, holding statehood out as bait
to catch suckers. Such a plea, looked
at in its proper light, is really an in
suit TO the intelligence of their read
ers. They evidently believe their read
ers are SO benighted that they are not
aware the republican party is irrevoca-
BILE committed to the single gold stand
ard and that as long as they can pre-
vent, no territory will be admitted to
statehood, whose senators and repre-
sentatives are likely to favor the white
metal. The eastern gold-bug is far too
astute to be fooled by silver territory
sending a man to congress to misrep-
resent his constituents. Another fact

republican party Of the territory, don't

The heroism of Hobson called forth
from The Spectator the comment that
nation represented by such men was
invincible. A counterpart to this un-
grudging testimony is to be found in
the native words of Spanish prisoner,
who said, when questioned about the
Rough Riders: "They did not fight as
other soldiers. When we fred volley
they advanced, instead OF going back.
The more we fred, the nearer they came
to Us. We are not used TO fighting with
men who act so." In fact, this bloody
engagement had more than stategical
value. It virtually accomplished more
than an outfanking movement on the
largest scale. Strategy does not always
demoralize the rank and file of the
enemy. But the testimony of our pris-
oners show that the dogged persistence
and splendid heroism of the volunteers
was a force that the enemy had not
reckoned with. Such impulse will di
minish the stability of our opponents
resistance no matter how ably they are
handled. Leaders cannot hold in hand
their men when they are convinced that
those who are attacking them don't
know when they ought to be beaten

The Yuma Sun is preferring num-
Der of damaging charges against John
W. Dorrington, superintendent of the
territorial prison. If these charges are
untrue Mr.. Dorrington, in order to pro-
tect his reputation, should demand an
immediate and thorough investigation
On the other hand, if Mr.. Dorrington
does not demand an investigation, Gov.
Murphy should order one, to prevent
his administration being besmirched.
The Investigation should be honest,
searching and thorough-not of the
whitewashing order. A majority of the
people of Arizona do not entertain e
very exalted opinion of our governor
at present, but he has it in his power
now to reinstate himself in the estima-
tion of his constituents. Let him be-
gin by investigating the management
of the territorial prison, and dealing
with the superintendent as the evi-
dence justifies.

The military attaches Of the foreign
legations who were sent to watch the
siege and battle of Santiago, have made
their reports to their am bassadors. The
German attache describes the conduct
of the volunteers in the following glow
ing terms: "There was no mounted cav
airy in action. The American infantry
did the work. The volunteers were
never shaken and never gave up their
ground once. Where they made an ad-
vance once they held it. When one re-
members that some OF these vC lunteers
"Rough Riders" had not been drilled
more than two months, their steady ad-
vance under as hot fire as was ever
seen in modern warfare, was splendid
evidence Of their high courage and
ready adaptation of military conditions
of the American soldiers. In the hot
test of all not man wavered. When
the line was rent and men went down
by scores, those stalwart Americans
simply dressed their line and went on.
It might have been hailstorm from
the skies instead of rife bullets for
anything they saw. No volunteers on
earth ever stood such a fire mistaken
for three hours"

General Miles appears to be meeting
with but little opposition in Porto
Rico. The natives are welcoming him
more as liberator and friend, than as
an enemy at the head of an invading
army. The present war is proving an
object lesson to those countries domi-
mated by the church. A lesson this
country would do we'll to heed. Rell-
gion is beginning to exercise too great
an influence in the affairs OF state here.
The ostensible purpose Of all religions
is to save souls. It is great and good
mission. The heads of churches should
conflne their efforts to that end, eschew
politics and leave state matters to the
more worldly

The question of feeding cattle for
market is one which should interest the
farmers of this valley. The fact alone
that butchers and contractors in this
county were compelled to go to the
Salt River Valley for fat beef, and that
surrounding markets went as far as
Kansas City, is state of affairs that
should certainly appeal to the intelli-
gent farmer in the Gila Valley. If it
is profitable to feed cattle in the Salt
River Valley and ship them all over the
territory and to Los Angeles, it GER
tainly behooves the farmers to feed
enough to supply their home markets.

The following representation is cred
tied to Carl Schurz: It is said that the
Republicans are likely to make the ex-
pansion policy party issue and that
they rely for their triumph upon the
unpopularity of the Democratic silver
policy with the conservative citizens of
the country. This may prove miscal-
culetion. 7 have seen several very earn
est sound money men who reason thus:
"a victory Of the silver party would be
a great calamity, but a calamity which
in the course of time may be repaired.
The annexation Of the Spanish colonies
would be in its consequences a greater
calamity which can never be repaired.
AS between the two we would rather
take our chances with the first" How
far this feeling extends I do not know;
possibly very far. It will be likely TO
make itself very much felt, if not in
the congressional elections of this year
then certainly in the presidential cleo
ton two years hence, when the bills
will have begun to come in and the peo-
pie will have gained real conscious
ness of what it all means.
