MORE BOOM LITERATURE.

Another boom article on Yavapaf | county appeared in the Courier this
 morning. That paper says times are harder and money scarcer in this sec 1 ton than for twenty years past, and 1 says that every man who will tell the
 truth knows this to be a fact. When prospective mine purchasers l and others who contemplate locating in the territory, read such stuff what conclusions must they naturally reach? :? i Only a few days ago the Courier ad l vised prope1ty holders and taxpayers
 to sell cut while they could and get
 out of the territory. It would take
 great deal of effort and printers ink
 to countsract the effect such state ments would have if the paper publish ing them had any influence and it was not generally understood all over the territory that the manager of the CouT- fer is ready eL all times to sacrifice every interest of the territory and county if in doing so it can incident ally work in something-no matter how dishonest or disrepUtable-in the hopes of injuring some republican.
 When it comes to b.acklisting, the Courier takes .she cake. It simply con demns everything in the county and territory, making no exceptions, unless IL mlgnt pc lew democrats or popu- lists.
 A few months, pr }yaar st the out side, will have demonstrated whether any of the prospects referred to in the governors proclamation, have devsI- oped into, or are likely to develop Ln to mines.
 There Is no doubt but what the posi- .,;on taken by the governor has helped to make it necessary for those who are inclined to dispose of mining stock in the east to spend something for de- velopment purposes and to some eX- tent, at least, demonstrate that the stock offered has something behind it. The governor can safely stand on the record he is making. Mining and business of every kind in the county and territory was never as satisfactory and profitable as at the present time, regardless of the statements in the Courier this morning. g.-JournadM

THE WOMEN OF HOMER.

Although the women of Athens in the days of it's glory had position which is today believed to have been not merely inferior, but seryi.o and de- based, yet the earlier women, both of what may be called the period of the Homeric singer and of the Homeric listener, were evidently a very super for order, receiving respect and duty
 and giving high tone to their social life. There are but two ignoble wo- men in all the pages Of mer-Helen and .ytemnestra-and oven to them certain sort of honor was awarded by those about them. All the other wo- mon of Homer's song were dignified. gentle, noble, with lofty standards of morals and behavior. and exerting a wide and valuable influence They are generally characterized by sweet courtesy. h5y have natural refine

TOOK A MURIATIC BATH.

Lo. the poor Indian, got acquainted with new sort of firewatsr on the west side the other day. His eNpeTi- ence Followed the falling of ten gal lon carboy of muriatic acid at the paint store of Smyth Brothers, the fumes of which completely filled the place and did damage to the extent Of near S100 before dispelled. Shortly before o'clock Thomas Jacobs, an in mate of a west side home, entered 'he store and handed Joseph Snyth note requesting a piece of window gi3ss The latter found that the glass would have to be cut to the required size, and asked Jaccbs to help him lift Ehe carboy from table on which glass Is cut. In moving the bottom of the boN fell out, and the glass carb3y cfaSneo on the floor in a thousan1 Iteces, the contents splashing over the two msn until they could hardly breathe.
 Mir Smyth yelled to the Indian to run toward the front door. He climbed a fence in the rear and found Jacobs in 8 pit:ble condition, jabbaring all sorts of things in his aboriginal ton gue The muriat;c acid was rapidly eating his clothes into fragments, and, pitying him, MT Smyth got a water cooler inside the door and threw the contents over him.

ITO BEAT THE CARS"

They are running automobiles ito beat the cars over in France. Two of them ran from Paris to St. MaIo, q distance of 226 miles, in seven hours ard thirty-fve minutes, and beat an express train whose schedule time was seven hours and forty-eight minutes, showing that the horseless carriage is already far past the experimental stage and has become a great factor. as 1t will soon be grea.-er. in the social and industrial life of the world. France lea.ls in the adoption of the automo- bile because il was prepared for its advent by an extensive system of ma cadamized roads, but America is fast overtaking her, in sp..e of our gener- ally poor roadw3ys, because of the Yankees irrepressible enterprise. There are already many factories Ii this country making horseIess car riages with various motive powers. and so great is the demand upon them that an order musI wait weeks and sometimes months to be filled. The conditions here and in France will be reversed. While Frances good roads may be said to have brought the auto mobile into wide use. the automobile will hasten the good roads for us. Tn the Un.ted States there must be a great deal of road improvement before tha automobile can replace the horse. It will come ultimately, for the automo- bile will be even a more powerful fac for than the bicycle in the improve ment of roads: When the Americans realize that they are not pressure ve- hicles alone, but are intensely practi- cal, making it possible to handle twice the traffic in half the time. they will adopt tnem with even more rapidity

CAN'T HOBsONIzE DEWEY.

Lute fmportar. dispatches from Ad- miral Dewey indicate tE'3t despite his general courtesy to visitors CT the Olympia he rudely .dcdged 3 kiss which an elderly lady aimed at his mouth, the salute landing on the back of his hand. In explanation of this affair George is reported as saying that, If she had been younger and handsomer he mi ght thave been less wary All of which goes to demonstrate that while George does not propose to adopt the liberal tactics of Lieute1ant Robson he ts not wholly averse to a reasonable degree Of osculatioE if tempered by youth and beauty. This appears to us significant hint to committees in the United States to prepare recipients Of h:s expressions of good feeling by a series of competitive examinations. Certain young women, bli ough virtue of their extreme pulohritud'e and phys ical charms, should be designed as the proper parties to welcome George to Us native land, while the noise of os- cu-ution is drowned by the booming Of cannon and the cheers of pa'-r-0ts.- Chicago Post.

ment; and in all the story that is told of them we recognize a warmth of family feeling, a lofty elegance Of
 manners. a grace that is hardly eXcell-
 ed by the manners and habits of the ladies of today
 It was evidently this feeling about
 marriage in ancient days which made the position of women honorable, gave them safety, allowed them to cultivate the g1aces, lent them an authority and influence that were fOrceful, and made the tale seem real to those who heard it sung, because there was nothing in it contrary to their own experience We read of it al with a great sense of naturalness and kinship, feeling that what is right is so the world over, and realizing that it is with women today as it was 5000 years ago; their power and their protection lie in the obed1- ence and the reverence that are given to the sanctity of the institution of marriage
 It is interesting to find that so many years ago, when all the people who heard the Homeric songs first sung are dust blowing on the four winds of heaven, this institution of marriage, which had it's happy exemplification in the lives, the singing of which touched all hearts with a kind and familiar finger, should remain as fixed and solid as the rock, and that, indeed, among those of our generation who think the highest and live the Lest 1t is regarded as sacramental in it's na- ture, and not to be lightly considered, rudely spoken of, nor caret2ssly pro- Bazar.

UNHAPPY VAN WICK.

It was bad enough for the Texas Hogg to puncture the "Gus"Van Wyck boom for the presidential nomination in his Fourth of July speech. Now we E9vo Boss Croker coming home and at . 1ce increasing the size of the pune ture by proclaiming Bryan to be a 4great sstatesman and possibly-at least Just pcow-the right man to nominate ne2xt vear This is taken as a direct blow at Brother Gus and no wonder the &dge packed his grip at Saratoga and hurried down to New York to see just what Croker meant by his two sta1e aents, concerning the presidential nomi1 ation.
 Tasnany Hall invited gentleman fr Alabama to make the long talk o, |ly 4, and he was given to under
 that the proper thing to do was
 [ame Van Wyck, the judge, as the
 Pice of Tammany Hall. He did so Wgoodj shape, but icicles clung to the tSling} of the wigwam and no warmth ws felt; but when the man from Texas came upon the stage and at once proceeded to tell what a good and great man Bryan was and is, the icicles melted, and the mercury went up to tLs top of the tube Van Wyck was frozen out and the air was torn in fragments by cheers and shouts for Bryan and all that sort Of nonsense. It was terrible blow to the Van Wyck family, but Robert the Testy" man aged to keep from saying anything and the judge bided his time, expect ing that when Croker came sailing back he would discipline his forces and proceed to set the matter straight.
 Croker. however, at once took sides with Hogg and lined himself up with the Tammany shouters for Bryan. All of which is very disheartening to the Van WXcks. Yet it is no more than they should have expected. The sue cessful political boss does not lead SC much as he expresses the sentiment of his followers. And there the mater rests for the present.

WANTS TO SIDE TRACK ISSUES.

Our contemporary gets off over two columns Of ''taxless toots'' illegal bonds, ; 'tb,ucklisting," etc., but makes no attempt to answer any of the ques- tions propounded by the Journal-Min- CT. Parrot-like it asks questions for this paper to answer, which have no pertinence to the questions raised by it. Our contemporary has been in dulging in 3 rambling incoherent. con gl0meratiOn of ranting phrases agains', the territorial admin stratiOn advising people to leave the territory if officials of its choice are not selected The questions propounded by the Journal Miner are respectful in their nature, they are of such character Gs if prop erly answered in an intelligent and respectful manner will either prove or Cisprove the ranting assertions and insinuatiO1s which have appeared in our contemporary. It has been ap- parent to everybody but the Courier ed:'5or, that his ''taxless toots," etcetra style of warfare has long since been worn out and has now become laugh in matter. Tn other words, by pro pounding these questions the Journal Miner laid the foundation for new ma terial for iiss contemporary. but the latter still sticks to its ftaXIess toOts. On a former occasion when this paper threw down the gauntlet to ir and chai- lenged it for proof of certain asser- tions it came back in the same Yan- kee fashion as it has on this occasion, by prCp0unding a series cf irrelevant questions and q challenge for a certain affidavit, the former being answered and the latter being accommodating made.
