At a Tucson hotel the her evening well known CochiSe cuunty citizen. in seeking his room. became confused as to numbers and got down inc hall cupied by one of tue diuingrOom girls Immediately feminine shriek aroused everyone in the house aud the startled guests heard demand to go away.

Yuma Sentinel solomon Warner

Yuma Sentinel: Solomon Warner died in Tucson Tuesday morning at the advanced age of ss years. Mir. Warner came to Yuma in 1855. The follpwing year, with the assistance of w. E Hopper S Go. of San FranciSco and Yuma, he started a nerchandls. ing business in Tucson where he met with success. In lS7 he was badly shot by Apache Indians rendering him partial cripple for life. But the ola pioneer has gOne-his dreams unreal. ized, but he has fouud rest, says the Tucson Star. Like many of the old pioneers of Arizona, he died in rather straIghtened circumstances. But we are pleased to say that with an ac- gu ,intance with the deceased of nearly thirty years, we have never heard it say that solomon Warner ever did one dishonest act.

Gospel Truth.

Every editor makes enemies. A little squib, aimed at no one in par ticular, will hit some hollow-headed individual and he at once declares himself 'agin" the paper, says an ex- change. The paper may have given him complimentary notices, but the imaginary thrust put him on his dig nity and he at once establishes him. self critic, but he hasn't nerve enough tn go tU the editor with his supposed grievance. Just notice and you will see that the men who are ''agiop their home paper are, as rule, men who would not be missed if they would leave the community forever. On every question of local interests the home paper stands ready to make a fight for the best interests of the greatest number and has always the greatest number of the best citizens at their back.

why?

Otis declared few months ago that he
had all the troops he needed. But the
administration is determined to send him
so 900 moe than he had when he made
his assertion.
Why?
Otis declared that he has broken up the
insur. ent forces into predatory bands
numbering from 100 to 500. Yet Otis
allows these predatory bands to remain
within dozen miles Of Manila.
Why?
Otis says only small section OF one
small tribe in Luzon is fighting American
supremacy, yet Otis, with 10000 men,
has been unable to whip this "small
tribe"
Why?
Otis refuses to let the correspondents
tell the news or to write the full truth OF
the situation in the Philippines.
Why?
Tha administration claims that the
fighting in the Philippines is nearly over,
and that the "insurrection" is nearly
queled. Yet the administration is work
ing overtime to get 10000 American
soldiers landed in the Philippines.
Why?
Otis is sef-coniessed incoml etent
but he is allowed to bnngle affairs in
the Philippines.

WHERE ARE WE DRIFTING?

For the first two months Of the new fis'
cal wear our government has expended
$102. $3.50 900. SO, OF which $21 ,OsS. 469 81
has gone for the support OF the civil ana
miscellaneous establishment, and all the
rest for military expenses OF one kind or
another. The army got $34, 262, os0.o6;
the navy, $9,6ss, 245.4O; military pen
sions, $2e, o55, 674.sO, and interest on the
war debt, 80, 1853, s45. So, total on the
military side Of the ledger of *7o,l5e's 4o.'
GA, or at the rate OF $474, 959, O73.S4 year
for war.like outgoes, while the total cost
OF the civil establishment was a. the
annual rate of 1926, 1893, 95S.S6.
At the present time not quite so per
cent of the expenses OF carrying on this
peaceful country are on account OF wars,
past. present and anticipated, but the
ratio is nearer to 80 per cent than to any
other round figure. Is there any other
country, free or despotic, which spends
larger proportion CT its income on war?
1t is difficult to comprehend that, with
hardly realization Of it by the people,
we are becoming the most warlike OF
nations, SO far, at least, as outly on mill
tary matters goes.
Moreover, the taxes are largely taking
| on new form. They are coming home
to mems business and bosoms more
closely than heretofore. The indirect
taxes Of the tariff, which have from the
beginning OF the republic been the main.
stay Of the federal government, are so no
llonger. For the first two months Of the
NEW fiscal year the receipts from the
tariff were 49,. 51s,151 SO, while the re-
Iceipts from the indirect taxes OF the in
.ernaI revenue were So, 559, 6l3 SO.
