Ar THE Grand Hotel in Hermc

Ar THE Grand Hotel in Hermo- sillo, last Saturday evening, a we'll known gentleman from Tucson, regaled crowd of interested aud itors with "an over true tale"-so he declared Of another we'll known party who once kept grocery store in California, and who got from a man who made abalone shell trink- cts lot oi the shell dust which was ground off in polishing the shells. This shell dust, 0 alleged the relater of the story, the thrifty individua mixed with the sugar he sold, thereby greatly increasing his profits. Now a very handsome prize will be paid by THE OASIS to any resident of Nogales, who will guess the name of the vender of the abalone shell powder.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MORALES. ARIZONA.
WHY so MANY OBJECT.

Last week THE OASIS gave space to a communication from a prom inent and we'll known citizen calling attention to plain miscarriage of justice as the result of that peculiar manipulation of which there has been so much in Nogales, which is clearly wrong and is very damaging to the good name and fair fame of the town, in being permitted a single day.
 The communication was handed in just as the editor was leaving town for an absence of several days, and there was no time to verify its assertions The matter seemed so important, however, that 1t was given space; and the investigation since accorded bears out the alleg- ationS presented.
 The substance of the mater al- legged was that under instructions from MT. w. E. Pulliam, special agent for the United States treasury department, one Lee Sing, a China man residing in Nogales, Sonora, who has no right whatever i'll the United States- sin fact being pro- hibited by law--was arrested in Nogales, Arizona, and taken be- fore the United States court com missioner, Mir Jas. B. Mix, for ex- animation and deportation. De portation would mean that he be sent to China. When arraigned defendant asked a continuance of thirty days, which was granted.
 At the end of thirty days Mir. Pulliam returned to Nogales to at tend the final disposition of the case, under the provisions of United States law. Imagine bis surprise at finding that the prisoner had been released upon writ of habeas corpus, issued by the court commissioner of the territorial dis

trict court. Upon its face the pro-
 ceeding was, PERHAPS, regular.
 But the territorial court commis-
 sioner, who released the clandestine
 celestial, was the same individual
 who, as United States commits
 sioner, had held him in durance.
 In other words Mir. Mix, as terri
 torlal commissioner reviewed him sell as United States commissioner and i'll one capacity released prls- oner he had held m another. Noth- ing similar has occurred since the instance cited ill General Grant $ memoirs where Lieutenant Braxton
 Bragg-atterward famous Con federate general--as post quarter master, picked quarrel with him self as commander of a company of artillery.
 But the grave feature of Con- missioner Mix's action in releasing Lee Sing is the we'll defined rumor that the Chinaman is one of the principals in a far reaching con- bination which has made much money in illegally introducing Chinamen into the United States, and that American custom house officials at Nogales were engaged i'll that combination. Had Lee Sing been held for trial 1t would have been possible to sift the matter and determine the complicitv of the al- legged co -conspirators of the now mis- sing Chinaman. Ii they are guilty the fact ought to be known and the guilty punished. If they are inno- cent, for the sake of their own repu- tations, 1t should be so shown. By straining his authority and turning loose the clandestine Chinaman Commissioner Mix has assisted in gross, miscarriage of justice In however. it is fair to say that MT. Mix is not severely cen surable. Being new in office he has taken advice from others who have misled him.
 It Is just such occurrences as this which have caused the strong and persistent opposition to the meth ods of the Nogales custom house, which opposition has grown up right here in the seat of that office. Men of sense and honor revolt at of law, custom and lre- cedent so gross as the push so frequently and unblushingly perpe- trate. And there will always be trouble here until such met hods are abandoned

 blime doctrine of the Declaration of Independence" that governments derlve their just rights from the consent of the governed;" and the administration elected upon that platform raised an army of two. millions oi men and spent seven bil- lions of dollars in denying to the people oi eleven states the right to exercise their own consent about how, where and by whom they should be governed. Whyl Be cause ill Divine development of the American nation that right could not b. conceded, and the very force of circumstances overturned the sublime doctrine of Jefferson. Washington, Jefferson, Monroe and all the tramers of the constitution were original secessionists = their writings prove them so. But three generations of men had carried for ward the development of national lite so far that the doctrines they openly avowed could not be admit ted for an instant without national extinction. The people would not submit to national suicide, so the high sounding phrases of the fathers had to go overheard. But was 1t admitted that they had gone overheard? Oh mol The Ameri- can people went on reaffirming those doctrines and persisten'ly re- tusing to put them into practice just as the revolutionary fathers raised armies to fight King George at the same time acclaiming their undying loyalty to the Crown. The exigencies and demands of a growing national life rise above and superior to the tenets of writ ten declarations and constitutions. That is the higher law" if you please, of the greatest senator New York ever sent to Washington William H. Seward.
 And today, in the expansion of national life, the quickening of national intelligence, the people of the Unitei States are again in position where national action and preceding national declarations are not in accord. The national heart is set upon the retention of the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba, and they will be retained. There is no use i'll Senator Hoar, ex-Sen- ator Boutwell,, ex-Speaker Tom Reed, and others, quoting the Declaration of Independence. 1tis no doubt true, as recited in the document quoted that govern ments derive their just rights from the consent of the governed" but the ready reply to that is that there is an age of consent tor nations, just as there is an age of consent for young women, and the Fili- pinos have not yet arrived at that age. When they do so arrive

THE AGE OF CONSENT"
When the opportunity comes for

nuSht dl hhS pciiS, III NONCuoCl, |,
 1900, it will be found that the
 almost unanimous voice of the
 American people is raised in dec
 laration for retention of the Phil
 liplne islands and the other pos
 essions which came to the United
 States as the result of a successful
 war against once formidable world
 power which had lost its one time
 capacity for pro6ting by oppor-
 tunities. There is a small and
 noisy propaganda which opposes ex-
 pansion and makes what to the un-
 thinking may seem strong appeal
 to the traditions and fundamental principles of the American republic as reasons why the government should pause in its career ot re- ducing to subjection the insurgent Filipinos, withdraw it's troops from Filipino soil and its naval vessels from Filipiro waters, leaving the Tagalos, Maccaabes and other mutually hostile tribes to devote the next three or four centuries to mutual extermination in an effort to control the "Phillipines for the Filipinos."
 But those who so loudly acclaim the doctrines of the Declaration oi Independence lose sight of the ir- refutable fact that in the develop ment of a nation there are steps where that nation and that people are not and cannot be bound by previous or contemporary de clarations of their own.
 The second continental congress adopted an address to the throne complaining ofthe injustice and rigor with which the colonies were treat ed by officers of the crown, ill which they described themselves as the most faithful and loyal subjects of King George" but there was an force in the march of events which in spite of their hopes and desires to avoid a rupture with the mother country forced that Congress to raise an army, which was placed i'll command of the greatest soldier of his century; and the ink was hardly dry upon the papSr which conveyed the address to the throne before patriot blood had written upon the green sod at Lexington and Concord message 10 king George ana his misleaders which took them seven long years to read aright.
 Likewise in IS4S the republic took from the sister republic of Mexico, one half of the territory of the latter, paying a paltry sum therefor and accepting a transfer of sovereignty over an alien popu- lation who were given no choice in the matter. In that the history of the Louisiana purchase and the Florida purchase was repeated, with this disgraceful difference

Strong Resolutions Passed by New York
aldermen Prosecution of Com
pany Was Urged.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Brooklyn
trolley strike was still on and in all
likelihood there will be no end to the
labor trouble for several days to come.
The striking motormen and conductors
were very earnest and they claimed
they We're gaining ground. On the
other hand the representatives of the
Brooklyn Traction company asserted
that the strike is only nominal one.
Numbers Of cars We're run over the
several lines, but the time schedule was
not lived up To on any of them, and Il
fair estimate of the rolling stock i'll
operation would be about 80 per cent.
No cars were run over the Flatbush ave-
nue. line to Brighton Beach.
There was some rioting and few ar
rests.
The board of ;llderme ell of the Greater
New York unanimously adopted a reso
luton, which. after sympathetic pre-
amble, said:
Resolved, That the municipal as
sembly of the city of New York extends
its sympathy to the striking railroad
employees in their effort to secure better
wages and shorter hours, and requests
the managers of the several railroads
on which strikes are occurring to agree
that all differences between employer
and employees be adjudged by arbitra-
ton.
Resolved, That the corporation
counsel he and ne is hereby requested
to take such action as will compel the
railroad companies doing business i'll

is added to the occasion by the report of
