LIBERTY LOVING FRANCE.

The action of the French govern ment in the Dreyfus and Zola trials is sufficient to bring the blush of shame to any man born in that country. The former was given no show whatever to prove his inno- cence, and because, forsooth, Zola had the courage to criticise the action of the authorities, he was arrested, and by the same nIeans has been convicted and sentenced 10 a years imprisonment.
 Now it is given out that Colonel Piquart, chief military witness for Zola during the latter's trial, will be placed on half pay of a lieutenant A chaplain who wrote letter con graduating Zola, has been placed on the unattached list, and Professor Grimaux, of the polytechnic school who signed the endorsement oi ] Zola's action, has been retired
 The authorities have also served notice on four prominent newspaper in France, which have stood up fol fair play and justice, that theiI actions will not be tolerated, and the only way that they car escape the fate of Zola is by refrainine from any further comment or crIti cism in the matter.
 And all these things have happen ed and are happening in liberty lov ing France. In France, the republic Freuchmen who boast of their lOv' of liberty and justice, are responsi ble for them, incredible though i may seem.

Governor McCOrd's Plans Regarding he Capitol Bond Issue.


 Capitol Bond Issue.
 Governor McCord was asked last night just before leaving for Wash ington if he had any objections to stating the objects of his trip. There are several things in the in- terest of the territory" replied the governor. "that 1 will look after, some of which I do not care to speak of now. but which II accom- plished will be of great inter, st to the territory. If the president signs the bill to authorize the issuing of SIOO.OO0 in per cent bonds to build a copitol building 1 shall so far "s it is in my power try to have the people of the territory take the bonds, or iu other words. make tue sale a popular one 1 will try to have all who can afford to and de sire to do so take a thousand dollar bond. have already received from two parties who are residents Of the territory offers to take S45, ,O0O-S25. GOO by one party and SO,OOO by another of these bonds. They are better than government bonds be- cause they draw more interest and can be bought at a lower premium. T believe these bonds could be placed in a lump in New York at a premium of not less than five pei cent, but 1 prefer to allow the peo- pie of the territory to take them at even less premium. You see they are authorized by a recent act of our legislature and approved by congress, so there cannot be the slightest doubt as 10 their validity, and as Arizona never yet has repu diated a dollar of its indebtedness or defaulted for a moment Tn the payment of its interest, and as there is no disposition on the part of any considerable number of the people to repudiate any honest debt, these bonds are gilt edged and 1 believe the people of Arizona will subscribe for them. At all events 1 want them to have a chance. l expect to re turn in about three weeks, when II the bill becomes a law l will ap- point a capitol building commission composed of the best business men I can find that will take the places and will make big effort to have the capitol ready for occupancy be- fore the next legislature meets Republican.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The New York World prints a circular, which it says is being cir culated on the streets of Havana, which is addressed to "Spaniards without condition" and ends with these words: Death to Americans; Death to Autonomy; Long Live Spain; Long Live Weyler."
 Trouble IS anticipated in Havana on the arrival of the VIzcaya there. The local Spanisrds will insist on a demonstration, and it is feared by the authorities, who dare not prevent the welcoming cele bratioD, that the crowds will get wild and Americans be sufferers.

 "Level Headed William" is the proud title which has been given to President Mckinley by the level headed men of the country. A Paris mob might lynch Emile Zola, bu. that would not make his charges of corruption in the French army any less serious nor less true.

 Congressman Cannon, of Illinois, who knows a thing or two, perti- nently said: Many of the gentle men who are loudly shouting for war, are agonizing to shed their blood in selling supplies to the gov- ernment."
 Our respect for Congress has increased one hundred per cent since it refused to be stampeded by the yellow journals into declara- ton of war against Spain in advance of the finding of the naval court of inquiry, now sitting, on she loss of the Maine.
 Late news from Havana and Washington are decidedly war like. But after all, the alleged informs- ton sent out may be from the yaller" papers.

MRS. MCDONALD KILLED.

Mrs. A F Mcdonald, formerly of Aesa
 City Murdered by MexieAns-
 Yesterday the information reach Mesa City of the murder of Mrs. A. F. Mcdonald, a pioneer settler of that place, at Colonia Garcia, Chi Q huahua, where her home has been for the past eight CT ten years. As was we'll krown here, she was the wife of Mir. 4. F. Mcdonald at one time president of the Mormon stake including this county. MT. and Mrs. Mcdonald were among the first i'm migrants settling on the Mesa and were the founders of that prosper ous colony where they lived for many years.
 Finally, they moved to Chihuahua, where they founded another colony, and where she met her death, leav- ing two sons, Wallace A and Geo. 4. Mcdonald, and grand children in this county, where they still reside.
 It seems that Mir. Mcdonald was absent in Fl Paso last Thursday, leaving Mrs. Mcdonald alone at home, ip charge of small store and postoffice, the business of which she attended to, though she must be well on to 65 years of age.
 During the day some Mexicans visited the place, and Mrs. McDon- aid was killed by the blow of an axe on the head and the place plundered. As soon as the crime was discovered a courier was dispatched to Fl Paso, where MT. Mcdonald was found, who immediately started for the scene after telegraphing his son. ! Wallace, who lives at Mesa, in this county, and who left last night to join his father. The information concerning the tragedy is meagre indeed, nor will the details ever be known, as Mrs. Mcdonald was en tirely alone at the time, and heI murderers are net likely to talk oI the matter unless they should bt apprehended, which does not seem probable in that country and tht condition of affairs which prevail fbara Haraid

He Swallowed Poison.

A tragedy occurred the other day in the old Snake drug store at San Francisco, owned by c. Eschman formerly of Phenix. In the labora- tory of the store there was big jug containing old port wine, for the preservation of which a poison label had been pasted on the Jug. A clerk had discovered this subterfuge and was regularly slaking his thirst with the wine. A few days ago with out the knowledge and consent of the clerk the wine was poured into another receptacle to make room for fund that was actually dead Iy poison. The person who made the change was unaware of the pred atory habit of the clerk aud imag- aeined that the poison label on the tug was a sufficient warning. The same afternoon the clerk attacked the jug again. Soon after his stom- ach hurt him. He kept getting sicker and at length was so sick that he was put into a cab to be taken home. He died on the way.

The officers and eiyIlians here whC be lieved the reports from Havana saying the court had already decided that the loss of the Maine was due to treschery,. apparently changed their minds, for today the universal question is, .'What has the court foundl" while yesterday one heard all around. "When will war be declaredf' Brought face to face with the court. men realized for the first time how unlikely it would be for the court to allow any inkling of it's conclusions to be known out of season.
 Nobody at the Navy Department, from the Secretary down, has any information whatever as to whether or not the Maine court Of inquiry will return to Havana from Key West, and in fact, the plans of the court are absolutely unknown in Washington. For this reason 1t IS said at the Navy Department that any statement as to the probable d tie upon which the court will report it's conclusions to the Secre- tary of the Navy, is purely specula- tive,
