Col. Bryan forgot himself when he said
at birmingham. Ala: What the Lords
Supper is TO the Christian. so a Jefferson
banquet is to the Democrat. Just as the
good Christian would revolt at having the
saerament administered by an inhdel, so
a good Democrat objects TO having a. JEFF
ferson banquet presided over By Perry
Belmont" This specimen of coarse BIAS
phemy is described by the Associated
Press as IAN epigram." Mr. Bryan has
always been credited with possessing a
respect and sympathy for religious mat
tiers not often exhibited by politicians.
but in this instance he permitted his de-
sire 10 be epigrammaticai to lead him into
an unwarrantea coarseness OF expression
that after-thought will cause him to re-
gret.

The nercliessness with which the

dy for such evils appears the situation
Is as hopeless as il always has been.
Law should punish the iynehers with

but the law is in the lyuchers' own

ity that they will receive their deserts.
Southern lynehings disgrace the
American nation. but they seem 10 be
an unavoidable outcome of conditions
that cannot be soon modified. They are
the logical consequence Of the enforced
association of unequal races. Where
lacking in the puissant leadership OF the
greater men Of the race. the negroes
undoubtedly become the victims Of an
unfortunate depravisy OF instinct. ex-
actiy as the white or any other races do
under circumstances not calculated To
elevate They commit indeceneies and
allow such thoughtless impulses to
dominate them as are represented in
the alleged conduct at Texarkana-
On the other hand. the whites. de-
based by habits Of tyranny and con-
tempt for the blacks, have neither men,
tai nor moral resources to summon TO
the relief Of critical situations. BY hav-
ing fostered animosity. the whites put
themselves beyond the operation OF rea-
sonable methods and leave nothing but
mutual hatred as the controlling force.
1t Is doubtful IL anything will evar
remedy the evil until the level OF nature
of the negro aud the level OF seif-esteem
Of the white man approach an equal
footing.

London aayices to the effect that the

posing modus yivendi on the Alaskan

Great Britain would be foolish ma

1t IS indicative OF an absence Of extreme
party feeling when a man OF the pug
nacious partisan tendencies of David Il.
Hill Is heard extolling the character and
services of Chauncey NJ. Depew. as he
did AT the Lotus Club dinner in New York
Saturday night Gov. Hin gave plain
warning by his Yelled thr,lsts at some OF
the Democrats leaders that he can never
be used as a tail TO the Croker kite. This
could hardly be expected of a man of his
ability and experience in public affairs.
MIR. Depew is dangerous said Mr.. Hill,
speaking OF the former AS political antag-
onist. because when he speaks he thinks.
And then he added these significant words
ssThere are some leaders in some parties
who don't think. and who don't know how
TO think" There IS not much doubt as to
whom Mr.. Hin had in mind in using these
words. The prospect for Democratic har-
mony in New York is not encouraging.

Thursday the Jolht coulHlttee or the legislature arrived here on the morn ing passenger train. They were met at the depot by a committee composed of Massrs. F. S. Clark, David Rabbit. $. II. Toltree. ]. W. Weltherford and Y. E. Pollock and escorted to the New Bank hotel
 The council members of the com mittee were: Dr. Austin C. Wright. of Mammoth, Pina county, and J. E. Finley. of Tucson, Pima county. As sembly members were: NJ. Gray, of Cpchise county, Alfred s. Donau, of Tucson. and E. M. Williams. of Morenci. Graham county.
 After lunch the committee and a number of our citizens were taken in carriages to the Reform School build- ing and the building was inspected by the visitors, who expressed their satis- faction us to the substantial character of the ediiice. The visitors spent an hour looking at the fine new plant of the Arizona Lumber X Timber com pany.
 MeSsrs. Wrigh; and Finley were ac- cotnpanied by their wives.
 The party left yesterday morning for Phoenix and all expressed them selves us being highly pleased with their visit.
 Mir. Gray is serving his third term Tn the legislature, being the oldest member in that body.
 Dr. Wright is also serving his third term and Mr. Finley is serving his second term. Messrs. Donau and Will Hams are having their first experiences us members of rhe law-making body.

On Monday evening last the West End Taxpayers Association met pur- suant to adjournment Ut the previous meeting, and a report of the standing committee, John Woody, was received, accepted and approved.
 It appears now that u majority of the council is willing to allow any and all reasonable things to be done to give the West End water, and Mir. Sturde- want will not get his extra water works money until the West End gets water.
 It has also developed that seven hundred feet more of extra four inch pipe were laid from Front street across the railroad track, east of the depot, which does no one any good and is ab- soiute.y dead property.
 Mayor Carroll says he intends to have the same taken up aud placed where 1t will do the most good
 At last lhe council has pc mitted the marshal to utilize the chain gang to dig ditch to lay the wale" pipe for the West End. About three hundred feet have already bt en laid. and 1T the chain gang is kept up the water works in the West End will have been fnish- ed in a couple of weeks.
 A standing committee was appointed To keep the association posted.
 The meeting was adjourned to meet again at the same place on next Mon- day night.

The social evening given by the choir and ladies Of the Presbyterian church last night passed of very pleasantly. The attendance was large and all present seemed to enjoy the evenings entertainment. The selections by the orchestra. the anthems by the choir. the solos by Mrs. Hugh Campbell, Miss Mary Logic and Mir. Reid. and the duet by Mir. Reid and Miss NJ. Logic were all well received. Mr. Reid's solo particularly seemed to appeal to the deepest feelings of the confirmed bachelor heart of the town. Full justice was done to the refreshments provided by the ladies.
