WILLIAM WALDORF As1 Ys recent article on the history of his family and his own reason for living abroad has called ferthgan unusually clever and caustic criticism by the editor of "Casual Comment,n in Literature. The conclusion the writer reaches is as follows:
 Ignorant libel such as one expects from misborn generation of yellow journalists is to be deplcred, The hbels of an educated man, who has no need to speak other than the truth, are not to be forgiven, and more especially when it is of his own people he wrises. The trouble with Mir. Astor seems to be that of Nareissus, who, according to repute. spent most of his time in contemplat- ing his own beauty. He should eschew this, and then when he finds a moment to spare he might read Dr. Edward Everett HaIe's story of The Man Without Country. It would serve to broaden bis horizon. whether it induced him to return to us or not. We are not confident that the latter is consum- nation deYoutly to be wished.'

NEWSPAPER DEAL.
Change In Ownership Attributed to Crash
 of the Trusts.

The Phoenix correspondent of the Los Angeles Times appears to be lon, with reference to the recent news paper deal in that city, and he intimates what he knows in specially felicitous manner. Read it:
 "The Evening Herald has at last been sold. The ostensible purchaser is Dr. George H. Keefer, local dr ug- gist, and man of some capit tai. There were many would-be purchasers. One of them was M, H. Sherman. of Los Angeles, for whom the editor was to have been J, o. Dunbar, long identi- fled with the morning Gazette. An other, J. F. Wilson, delegate to con gress from Arizona, who would have changed the paper from it's stalwart republication to the strongest kind of free silver democracy, with T. E.. Parish on the tripod. The Herald has announced that Dr. Keefer has pur- chased controlling interest, but the management will continue for the time being in the hands of N. A. Morford, bills and accounts with the original management to be settled by MT. Morford. There is little doub. that MT. Keefer has a present interest in the plant. For year he has been creditor of the Herald to the amount of about s2700. That some money has changed hands is evident from the fact that debts of the paper aggregating nearly S700O have been paid the past few days, and the suits against it in the district court have been dismissed. There is a definite idea abroad, how ever, and one seemingly well grounded, that the trade passes the Herald into the ownership of President Frank NJ. Murphy of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railway, and E. B. Gage, presi- dent of the Phoenix National bank and president of the Congress Gold Mining company. This would mean the man agement of c. c. Randolph, proprietor of the Morning Republican, and would virtually turn the Herald into the even ing edition of the Republican. It is as though the prevalent epidemic of trusts had invaded the village of Phoe- nix, for the Republican and Herald own the only telegraphic franchises in town. All of this has not yet been made public, but there seems little doubt knowing printer was right when he observed: 'You'll see it won't be long before all the linotypes in town are in one row in an Adams street print shop"

While return ing to his Bosque ranch Saturday after noon he was thrown from his buggy and killed by the frightened horses. Mir.

He was native of Canada and man of superior intelligence and requirements. For several years he was United States court commissioner at Nogales.

THE Denver Mining Record says with more or less truth: Eastern capital IS fast taking cognizance of the fact that investment in mining is as legitimate and no more risky than mortgages and loans on agricultural security. The same examination and business prn- dence should be and can be used in both cases. In agriculture the ground is appraised by one familiar with the conditions, and the same rule can be easily applied in mining investment. The pinching of an ore body is no more probable than the farm, and the risk of crops. The possibilities of big returns are infinitely better from the mine than the farm, and the risk of loss no greater. Employ experience and ability in appraising, and pay ac- cordingly. Do not pay mine prices for a prospect and expect to realize, any more than you would expect to realize on a swamp bought at farm rates.

The Copper Era states that some vandals broke into the Clifton -Morenci pesthouse and stole lot of quilts and tent. The same paper says that, on Indian creek, three cattlemen ran into three bears devouring cow they had just killed. There was only one re- volver in the party; the men beat a retreat, after firing two stots into one bear. As they fled they met another cowboy, also unarmed. He turned and fed, but the bears overlook him and kept snapping at his horses legs, injuring them badly before the bears dropped behind.

THE Springfield Republican says: "The Atkinson incident is instructive as revealing with more starting clear ness than ever the despotic tendencies of the imperalist policy. It uncovers the temper which brooks no opposition and will tolerate no criticism. The mailed hand of the rule of blood and iron is being gradually disclosed, which will next fall heavily upon freedom of speech within the old borders of the United States. It is impossible that a national career of conquest can be per sisted in without the impairment of that most cherished privilege under the constitution"

THE Territorial Normal school loses the best public instructor the territory has ever had in Dr. McNaughton, who has been rendered and has accepted the presidency of the Normal School of California, located at San Jose. The petty attacks on Dr. Me- Naughton at Tempe by people who could not realize what the territory had in him while they were powerless to injure him. were annoying, and no doubt helped him to choose the larger. cleaner and more honor able field. when 1t was offered to him, though he loved the work here in the terri tory.-lPhoenix Herald.
 When a man of more then exception al ability locates in Arizona and re- fleets credit on it's institutions, there is a small and despised class who system atically go to work to drive him out of the territory by instituting petty annoyances which sensitive nature prefers to fee from. This has doubt less been the case in this instance, and in the removal of Dr.. McNaughton Arizona's favorite institution has suf- fered a loss from which it will take 8 long time to recover. We have more pestiferous insects than scorpions and centipedes in our fair territory.

Sheriff Truman, of Pinal county, was passenger on yesterday mornings west-bound passenger train. With him were the man and woman who so suc- cessfully held up and robbed the Globe and Florence stage on the 31st ultimo. Sheriff Truman took the trail about twenty-four hours after the robbery and successfully followed it until he came up on the pair, near Benson.
 Such work as this places Sheriff Tru- man in the same rank with Scott White and John. Slaughter of Cochise county, George Ruffner and Johnny Munds of Yavapai, and Bob Paul of Pima-now under-sheriff with Sheriff Wakefield.
 The general public owes debt of gratitude to such officers that cannot be paid during their natural lives. There should be monuments erected to their memories.-[T Tucson Citizen.
