HE DID NOT HAVE IT.
How a JOshing Judge Sailed Down
u Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells this char
acterstic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was SO
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot of Grim
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official One day
when there was an unusually large batch of
culprits to be sentenced, the Judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said
In consideration of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner | shall let him off
with fine of $50"
Before the judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man coolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
That's all hunky, judge; I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
"And one year in the penitentiary," con-
cluded the judge. Then looking over at the
convict in quizzical sort Of way, he added:
"Do. you happen to have that in your jeans~

SENATOR JONES INTERVIEWED
Committee Says tho Party WIN Re-
affirm tho OhIcagO Platform.

Washing ton, Feb. 20. - Senator
James X. Jones, chairman of the dem
ocratic national committee, in an au-
thorized interview Saturday was
asked il in his opinion the dem
ocratic national convention of next
year would reafiirm the Chicago plat
form. He said:
TO say that the next democratic national
convention win reatiirm tho position taken by
the convention In 1895 is TO assert what every
candid man, even slightly familiar with exist
ing facts, knows TO be true, II is as certain as
| anything human can be that the question OF
bimetallism will be the leading issue in the
campaign next year And It is reasonable to
expect that the majority Of the people will
next time declare for the party which means
what II says and will redeem its pledges and
that they will not again be tricked into cast
ing their votes in favor Of the enemies of the
principles in which they believe.
When asked whether he thought
that the Chicago platform was gaining
ground he said:
most certainly do In the elections Of last
year the principles OF that platform were not
the lending and exclusive issues In all Sec
lions OF the country These were partially OBJ
| scured In mnny states and districts. The
question Of bimetallism, the republican effort
to retire the greenbaolEs and to confer upon
the national banks the absolute control of the
volume of paper money, and to surrender
the country to the trusts, were In many
sections, for the time being, lost sight OF in the
excitement Of the war and It's resulting ques-
tions. The result was d great loss Of interest
and q large falling of in the vote, with appar-
emily unfavorable results to the democratic
party All reasonable men are now satisfied
that stradding and lodging are not popular
The next democratic national convention will
speak out again In the same clear uneQuivocal
terms and in the same manner and in the same
lines that it did In 1893

Arizona silver belt., 1899-12-28

From the present outlook the people of Arizona need not fear the result ol 1900. The mining industry of the ter rltOry was never on more satistae : tory basis, with every indication that our section is growing in popular favor as investments are made al d the true worth of our mines are ascer- tained. This condition of affairs is more noticeable in Gila county, prot ably, than elsewhere, but cheering news comes from every quarter of our vast mineral field; prosperity is abund- ant if one only delve for it; meaning less and insincere platitudes will avail naught- the miner to achieve success must labor unhaglngly.
