AFTER reproducing the local in
last weeks GUARDIAN, stating that
Rev. f. w. Downs is building q
new brick business house to be
occupied as a. millinery establish
ment, the Arizona Daily Republican
says:
"Bro. Downs is we'll known in
Phoenix, where he has host OF
friends, and has always been con.
sidered an energetic and UP to
date preacher. 1t is pleasing to
note that he also has an eve to
business and unlike some ministers
when prosperity comes he is level
headed enough to get on the band
wagon and ride. He is to be con.
graduated also on his originality.
There are probably no two lines Of
business that will work together
moro tremendously than preaching
and selling nice millinery. If the
patterns are pretty all the ladies
who buy will be sure to attend
church regularly ano thps the
cause will be helped. Good church
attendance and interesting sermons
which inspire it will in turn sell
more hats and in that way com.
mercial prosperity is assured"

During the civil war, as we'll as

rhoea was one of the most trouble
some diseases the army had to con.

GUN WITH OUR GOSPEL.

Rev. Sam P. Jones, while In at
tendance at a bush-meeting near
Pureellville, Va, was asked TO ex.
press himself on topics of current
interests. In speaking on the
Philippine question he frankly
stated that in spite of the progress
of the nineteenth century, the
world bad not moved enough to
disprove the advice given by Was,
hington in his farewell address.
Those principles were eternal, and
no flight of time could render them
valueless or inappllcable to the
needs of the republic.
ITO tell the truth" continued
Mr.. Jones, II think we have more
crops planted than we can care
for. If we are no better guardians
of the Philippines than we have
been of the Indians, the China
men, and the negroes, fear for
the results Of our so-ealled phil
anthropy. If Frenchmen, who
came to our relief in the war OF
the revolution, had assumed the
same attitude we have taken to-
ward Cuba and the Philippines,
we would have been fighting that
country yet.
"Our old style of philanthropy
was to take the spelling book and
the Bible. Latterly we have been
using the gun and the Bible as oul
implements of conversion and
civilization. We protestants be
lleve in no probation after death
Therefore, we argue, we put the
heathen on the other side OF pro
lbation. But il is kind of US to
give him a Bible after we kill him
"I am not a believer in annexa
tion by determination. 1t may be
philantbropic, but it is not just
The poor barbarians may be wrong
In misinterpreting our efforts tc
give them the benefits of c,villza
tion, but / believe they are justi
fed in thinking that a nation
which cannot take care of its own
inferior races need not bid for any
more contracts until it has shown
that it knows how to fulfill them
! The advantages of commerce are
more than offset py the difficulty
of holding those poor savages uh
til we can drive a bargain with
them"

SHOT IN COLD BLOOD.
Oscar simmons the victim-John Brown
the Assassin


the Assassin.
Sunday morning about 4 O'Clock
at Chloride John Brown lay be.
hind an ice chest like an Apache
and carefully, deliberately, with a
rest, sent a bullet through the
heart of Oscar Simmons, SAYS
Our Mineral Wealth.
There has been bad blood be.
tween the victim and the assassin
for several months, originating
over a game of cards.
The morning of the killing,
Brown used such vile language to
his intended victim that the latter
forced him to leave his place at
the muzzle of q pistol. Brown
left and secured his Winchester
and hid his hide behind an ice
chest and waited for his victim to
appear on the street, when he shot
and killed him at the first fire.
After the trouble in the saloon,
Simmons was advised and urged
to go out in the street as Brown
intended to come back and would
probably shoot him through the
window or from some hidden place.
Simmons went into the street in
order to have fair fight. He was
willing to take an even break, but
he miscalculated the other man,
as generous men usually do. In
stead of facing a man in the open
as he expected he made himself a
target for a concealed assassin.

HoBsoN IN A NEW ROLE.

Hss'.- N''"S - /
"Lieutenant Hobson, who first
sprang into fame by sinking the
Merrimac in the passage leading |
from Santiago Harbor without sue
cessfully closing the passage, has
been quietly playing new role of
late by rising and repairing three
of the Spanish war ships sunk by
Dewey in Manila Bay. The YES
sells selected for this experiment
were the Isla de Cuba, the Isla de
Luzon and the Don Juan de AS.
turias. Lieutenant Hobson has
just made his first report to the
government, in which he estimates
the work of repair to be about 80
per cent, completed. He says the
vessels can be made ready for sea
within six weeks after the arrival
at Hong Kong OF their armament
and electrical plant. He further
estimates the vessels and machin-
cry to be worth 100000; cost of
raising and refitting, $4,000;
profit to the government, S306, 900.
Assuming that this report is ap-
proximately correct, Hobson will
have proved greater success iu
reconstructing disabled war YES.
sells than in wrecking them. His
experiment with the Merrimac be-
sides getting HIM into captivity
proved fiat failure, for while he
sunk the hulk as he had planned
he sunk it in the wrong place, and
Cervera's fleet went to sea without
any trouble when its commander
wanted to do so. His success has
been accomplished under more
favorable conditions than his fail
ure, for there were no Spanish
guns trained on him while he was
directing the work of rising and
restoring the Spanish vessels sent
to the bottom by the guns OF
D,wey's feet.
Hobson's report upon tho sue
cess of his work in restoring the
sunken war vessels contains one
suggestion which the Navy Depart.
ment will do we'll to consider a
long while before adopting il. 1t
is that of establishing a yard of
equipment and repair at Minila.
4 is not likely we will have an.
other sunken fleet in Manila Bay
worth rising, and our own war
vessels should be built and repair.
ed at home. We have acquired
the Philippines as an incident Of
the Spanish war, but we should
not make our new acquisition the
base of operations for wars with
other nations, and unless we in
tend to do this we will have nc
use for a navy yard at Manila
Hobson deserves due credit for re
storing the disabled Spanish wal
vessels TO a condition of usefulness
but il is not worth while for tht
American government to go into
the business of constructing anc
repairing warships at such long
range.

Hon. James Wilson, secretary

of the interview:
"IRRIaATIoN pRoBLEMs."
"Mr. Secretary, how about irri.

"That is a vital question. Un

We are reliably informed that
there is a man living in Thatcher
who is laying up considerable
trouble for himself through the
treatment of his family. 1t is not
usual for newspaper to interfere
in family affairs but when a man
so treats his family that it be-
comes a public nuisance it is time
for interference. Neighbors of the
individual referred to complain of
his brutal treatment TO his child
ren. 1t is said that he beats them
numerically on the slightest
provocation with the first lnstru,
ment of torture that comes handy,
and that the blows and the screams
of the children can be heard
blocks away, besides subjecting
them 10 other inhuman treatment.
IL is the duty Of the officers of the
city to investigate this and punish
the offender. We would not per-
init excessive cruelty to dumb
animals, nor should il be tolerated
with children. When a man takes
the responsibility of rearing a
family, if he has SO much brute in

strong arm of the law should be
thrown around them.
