Can cubans Govern rnem.e,ves7

One of the best known diplomats re- gently declared that the Cubans are ut, terly incapable of governing themselves and that the United States must main tain its present control indefinitely or annex the island. There will be those who will dispute this opinion but there are none who dispute the well known fact that Hostetters Stomach bitters is capable of governing and controlling common diseases of stomach, liver, kidneys and blood. It is remedy that IS backed by 50 years of success. It IS an ideal medicine for constipa- tion; the most effective purifier for the blood; tissue and strength builder for those who are disposed to lung trou bles, and for nervousness it is of won derful benefit. It stirs up a lazy liver stimulates inactive kidneys. and xs an appetizer it is incompatible. Those whose stomacbs are out of order should not fail to try bottle.

Globe is unduly exercised over the woman suffrage bill, and it appears the editor of the SILVER BELT has incurred the displeasure of some of his former lady friends, who accuse him of at- tempting to voice the opinion of the community on this burning issue. We disayow any such intention, and having been always susceptible to the benign influence of the fair sex, we trust that we may regain our lost prestige and again bask in the sunshine of their favor

The past week has been busy one in both houses, and has witnessed the defeat of several important measures, notably Goldberg's bill to regulate railroad freight charges, Goldwater's s reapportionment bill and the Bowie county bill. Woman suffrage was prac- tically defeated by the action of the council in referring it back to the com mittee on education. Thus far during the session l32 bills have been intro duced in the house and s7 in tue coun. ell. Few of these measures will be- come laws, and many of them will re- ceive but scant consideration.

By far the most interesting struggle of the session occurred on Tuesday af- ternoon when the council, resolved it. self into the committee of the whole for the consideration of bills in their regu- lar order. The first bill on the calen- dar was house bill No. 35, the woman suffrage bill. The council chambers were crowded to suffocation and the house hearing the bill was under con- sideration in the council imp pediately adjourned and marched into the room, ranging themselves around the room according to their sympsthies. The ladies were out in full force and sp. plause was long and loud. The friends of the bill were in the majority and they gave Judge Murphy their cham pion hearty reception as he took the floor to discuss the merits of the bill.
 As soon as the bill was read, Finley secured recognition and moved that the bill be re-referred to the committee on education for the purpose of amend
 ment or substitution. The motion wa. seconded by Olney and as the question was stated Murphy secured the floor 1T opposition to the motion. For hal
 an hour he held the rapt attention o
 the council and audience and his TO marks were applauded long and often
 He called on the members of the coun cil to stand like men and vote according to tho dictates of their own conscience
 but not to defeat the bill by putting the vote of from day to day as was tht intention of the amendment offered by Finley of Pima county. When tho gentleman from Mohave took his seat
 Bunch of Coconino county secured tho floor in opposition to the bill. Those present opposed to the bill on the fool of the council and also the lobby ap plauded freely. Bunch was followed again by Murphy in few remarks The question was then put and the mo tion to refer the bill to the committed on education was carried by a vote o to 8. Wright was in the chair ant Carpenter and Warner did not vote
 Hunt of Gila county voted against tn, motion. It seems the constituents o
 the gentleman from Gila are somewha
 divided on this proposition. He ha. received several lengthy telegrams iron Globe during the past week, some fol woman suffrage and some against it.

"They have been Ike brother aud

Miss Branscombe did not appear at

the gentle old lady babbled on Of the

the lace curtains at the open window,
looking out over the lawn toward the
encircling belt Of shrubbery. 1t was a
dark moonless summer night, and late
enough now for the shrubs to show
blackly against the pale skyline.
l had quite lost the thread OF Miss
Elmslle's somewhat monotonous talk,
dreaming as was of many things,
with a pervading sense Of vague pain
and unrest new to my experience, and
due perhaps to the melancholy seenes
in which l had just taken part.

lost in the darkness. Was It fancy?

led a friend to compare him to geom-

strlkingly fine presence, his great
height being offset by corresponding
fullness Of figure. His countenance
was strongly marked and very indi-
vidual, the features not handsome In
themselves, but the whole effect very
peasingly impressive. He had but
little sense OF humor, and was not at

back and the frightened look faded oul
OF her eyes, ! wondered what she had
dreaded.
Another gravely-eaten dinner was
scarcely over when my summons came
Miss Branscombe started to her feet
with q suppressed cry, and passed
swiftly from the room before me.
"only Mr.. Fort, was to say" The
butler hesltated looking anxiously at
Miss Elmslle, "I beg your pardon,
ma'am, but the message was partic-
ular."
Poor dear child" murmured Miss
Elmslie, rising and looking helplessly
at me. What can l do lit is too
late, am afraid"
"Will you leave It to me-" said
gently. Perhaps l can persuade Miss
Branscombe,"
"Yes, yes" she exclaimed, laying her
trembling hand on my arm-"you
will persuade her."
Those hours of anxious watching and
enforced confidence had thrown down
the barriers OF unconventionanty, and
made us more intimate than months OF
ordinary intercourse would have done.
Both the elder and the younger lady
turned to me In their loneliness and
their sorrow; already | had taken my
place as a friend with them.
In the corridor outside the sick
room Miss Branscombe was standing
In the recess Of a window wrlnging her
hands and sobblng pitlfully.
"Mr. Fort" she exclaimed, "they will
not let me see him! Tell him that

cruel as to let him die without a word

Miss Bransoombe, Of at least | might
give her an explanation which should
mitigate her anger against myself, and
account for what dreaded she would
regard as breach OF trust.
But Miss Branscomhe remained In
visible. Her cousin reported that she
was quite overcome by her grief, and
would not as yet hear Of consolation.
The day, which had been brilliantly
fine In the early part, clouded over
toward the afternoon, and raln--a gen
tie, balmy summer rain--fell softly,
but without lntermlssion. The change
was more In unison with the spirit OF
the moment and the hushed silence OF
the darkened house; and as ! sat In the
library, busled with some writing for
Miss Elmslle, the musical rythm OF the
ralndrops, pattering softly down on the
laurel and berheris leaves outside the
open window, seemed to me like tears
shed for good mans loss.
Miss ElmslIe came In and out with a
hushed tread, and gave me instructions
In a subdued voice, sometimes staying
to talk OF the dead man upstairs--of
his virtues and consistent life, his
trials and disappolntments-and, at
last, In natural sequence, OF Charlie,
the scapegrace, and of Mona, the
child of Col. Branscombes youngest
brother.
Poor Charlie!" she said, shaking
her head. "He was always the one

gered at Forest Lea through the next
day. There were seals to afiix to all
the dead colonels cabinets and draw
ers; there were interviews with vari-
Gus personages, and commissions for
Miss Elmslie, which filled up my time
and gave me an excuse for postponing
my departure. The truth was that
could not tear myself away. l had a
confession to make to Miss Branscombe
which could not force upon her in the
first hours Of her sorrow and which
nevertheless must be made. 1t was not
likely that the secret Of Col Brans-
combe's last will would be kept until
the legitimate moment for its revcla-
tion; the executor, the rector must act
upon his instructions, one OF which was
to exclude Mr.. Charles Branscombe
