WOODM IN HEROES
Brief Description of the Find
 ing of U'Neils Body

The Docrmber number of the Sov- ersign Visitor, Woodmen of the Worl!. devoted it's front page to fallen sovereigns in the late war with Spsin. Thirteen photos with c short bicgra- phy of each are given, the most pre- minent being that of our Captain O'N-ili, who wa. . mem Der of Prescott: Camp No. 3.
 How Captain O'NeilPs bodS was identified and recovered we quote the following from the Visitor: "Since the war Captain 0'N.ill's friends. aid- ed by the government. have nade many fruitlrss searches for his grave Receo sly, however, the Rev Henry A. Browa. who was Chaplain of the Rough Riders, has located the spot. The chsp lain has a remarkable mem ory for places and he went to Cuba especially to bring back Captain O'Neill's body.
 "With & brother Of the dead officer the chxplsin went to San Juan hill He quickly found the ground over which his regiment had marched, and uointed ou, c little cl-,ring. Dig thera,' he sad to the m.n acc 'mpany- ia him, and you will find the can- :a.p ve bnried with the body of Cap- tain ON-ilI.'

The mutual attraction and as
similation of trusts is an en-
nobling study, says the Wash
ington Times. When we see the
traction and oil trusts joining
hands to absorb all the distille-
ries in the United States it is
pleasant to speculate upon the
succeeding phenomena Of con
centrative development. Aside
from the certainty that this new
combination will feel compelled
to extend it's spiritual control
over sugar and lemons the ques-
ton is, which great industry will
be next to go into the common
pot? VIII it be steel now, for
instance, or peanuts or air or
what?.

John Dlllon's Prediction.

A London dispatch of recent
date says: In the House of Com
mons during the debate on the
second reading of the military
works bill, John Dillon, Nation
alist member from East Mayo,
objected to the proposed expen-
diture on the defenses at Hall
fax and Bermuda, adding that
he firmly believed all the West
Indian islands would soon be-
long to the United States, as
the inevitable result of the re-
cent war.
The inhabitants Of the British
West Indies, Mr.. Dillon said,
would find they must of neces-
sity join the United States since
nature intended these islands to
form part of the United States.
"The people of the islands
will ultimately say So" declared
the Irish statesman, ''and Eng
lisllmen would not be so foolish
as to resist. IF they did, they
would have to advance more
loans to the islands and they
would soon tire of that. Do be
levers in an Anglo American
alliance imagine that they are
promoting good feeling by erect
ing these fortitications?'

Newspapers throughout the
United States in speaking Of the
trouble in the Philippines, re
fer to it as an instruction. In
surrection means an uprising or
revolt against constituted po-
litical authority. When did the
United States have any legal
political authority over the
Philippine Islands or it's peo-
pie? She bought the islands
from Spain. The territory car
ries the inhabitants with it.
By the purchase the United
States acknowledges the right
of governments to deal in hu-
man beings as schattels- buy and
sell them. 1t has not been many
wears since the United States
engaged in a war in which thou
sands of lives we're sacrificed
and millions of money spent,
denying that right. The deal
was made with Spain without
consulting the people to be sold
and ascertaining whether the
change Of masters would be
agreeable. While the deal was
being made, these people were,
and had been for q long time,
engaged in a bitter strife with
Spain for their independence.
During this struggle these same
newspapers spoke Of them as
heroes and patriots, making a
grand and noble fight for their
freedom. They are still fight
ing for their freedom, but against
d new and more powerful mas
ter, who is using all his wonder
full strength to wreck their am
bition and make them humbly
bow their heads while he places
the yoke Of servitude around
their necks. And they are call
ed rebels! Did Spain have a
legal right to these islands when
she sold them? Wasn't the title
in dispute, with the chances de-
cidedly against Spain? Was
she able to give peaceabIe pos
session? Has this government
any right, other than might, to
claim to control these people:
Have they not the same right to
continue the fghttor their inde-
pendence now, that they had
when Spain claimed sovereign
ty over them? Are they not just
as patriotic, just as heroic, now
as then? Does a change OF op-
pressors alter the situation IL
the least? Is not this govern
ment going back on its Declara-

1t is pretty generally con
ceded, irrespective of party af-
filiations, that President McKin
ley would be too glad TO be rid
of his secretary of war, but for
some reason he has been afraid
to ask for his resignation di-
rectly. The secretary has been
given to understand unoficially
that his resignation would be
acceptable, but he has never
been asked to tender it. An in
innate friend of the secretary
said to the Baltimore American:
eff Secretary Alger goes out
he will be free to talk, and when
he commences to talk he will
make it interesting for the ad-
ministration. He will reveal the
influences that compelled the
letting of some Of the army con
tracts. Proof of these things
are locked in the Secretary S
safe. He holds a full hand. .
From this it appears that Al
ger is master Of the situation,
and stands in a position to snap
his fingers under the presidents
nose. When an official resorts
to questionable methods in the
discharge Of his duties, he places
himself in the power OF those
who are in a position to know OF
his actions. There are always
some one, or more, who are none
too good to use the cudgel thus
placed in their hands for their
own purposes and to further
their own ends. Alger it ap-
pears is Of this stripe. Mckln-
ley is old enough, has been in
politics long enough, to have
known this. But, as a matter OF
fact, he took his seat bound hand
and foot, by men who are as IN
scrupulous as Alger. Hanna
took him up, spent hundreds OF
thousands of dollars manufac-
turing public opinion in his ia
vor, bought the southern dele
gates to the national convention
to secure his nomination, and
spent millions to buy his cleo

Sheepmen's Meeting.

A special meeting of those in
terested in the sheep business
was held in Flagstaff on July 3,
which was attended by many Of
our leading citizens, interested
in that business. The object OF
the meeting was to form bet
ter and more permanent organi-
zation, for the better protection
and general advancement of the
business, and to place them
selves in a position to co-ope-
rate more fully with the United
States land department in car
rying out all measures for the
protection of the forest reserves
of northern Arizona.
Now that the objects and aims
Of the department are better un-
derstood. there is found to beno
occasion for conflicting interests
between the department and the
sheepmen OF this section. Our
wool growers are among our
mostreliable and influential citi-
zens. They are taking hold OF
this matter in the right way and
will prove the most effective
protection of the various forest
reserves in Arizona the govern
ment could possibly put in the
field.
Representatives from Apache
and Navajo counties were pres

Forest Reserves.

Representatives from Navajo
and Apache counties, who at
tended the meeting of the Sheep
Breeders and Wool Growers of
Arizona, at Flagstoff on the Sd
inst, report the meeting as be
ing the best and most harmon
-ious and earnest held in the ter
ritos,y for many years.
The question of sheep grazing
on the forest reserves of Ari-
zona and the attitude of the gov
ernment in the matter was dis
cussed at length, and the wool
growers present felt reassured
by the report of Mr.. Gosney,
who went a few months ago to
Washington to represent the
sheep interests of this section,
and by other reports and facts
collected, that the department
were not going to act against
their interests without full and
fair investigation, and that it is
within the power of the sheep
men upon these various reserves
to make themselves and their
business an invaluable ally OF
the government in the protection
Of the forest reserves.
A committee of three was ap-
pointed by that meeting to con
fer with a like committee to be
appointed by the sheep men of
Navajo and Apache counties,
and report plan of permanent
organization of all the wool
growers of the territory.
This is a move in the right di-
rection. When the department
is fully and rightly informed,
they will know there is no nee
essary conflict between sheep
grazing and forest reserves in
northern Arizona. But the sheep
men must know too, that to
bring about these conditions,
each and every sheep man must
do his duty in carrying out the
reasonable regulations of the
department. Through strong
and permanent organization of
the sheep men, this can and will
be accomplished. Every sheep
breeder and wool grower in
northern Arizona should join
heartily in this movement, and
we do not doubt they Will do so.

tion of independence, it's Con
stitution and its past record of
sympathy and moral encourage
ment to any and all people seek
ing their freedom? These are
questions that will be asked and
must be answered when they are
referred back to the people in
1900, a large majority Of whom
are still Americans and believ-
ers in a governmental ;'the peo-
pie, by the people, for the peo-
pie, and not a government Of

Abraham Lincoln was Ameri-
can in all his actions, words and
deeds. His patriotism was IN
questioned and never doubted,
but if he were to hold and utter
the sentiments he did before his
lamentable death, he would be
termed ''copperhead'' calamity
bowler" and TRAITOR. !" The
following clearly shows what
his sentiments would be in re
gard to our forcible acquisition
of the Philippine Islands. He
once said:
mo man is good enough to
govern another man without
that others consent. When the
white man governs himself that
is self-goyernment; but when he
governs himself and also gov
erns another man, that is des-
potism. Our reliance is in the
love Of liberty; our defense is in
the spirit which prizes liberty
as the heritage of all men in all
lands, everywhere. Those who
deny freedom, deserve it not for
themselves.
Lincoln, if he were alive to-
day, would deem the action of
this government toward the
Philippine Islands as despotic.
And he would be right. The
United States has gone back to
feudal times, when might made
right, when the most powerful
bandit was the greatest man.
Here is another prophetic ut
terance, from the same source,
expressed in a letter to a warm
personal friend, shortly before
ne was assassinated:
"Yes, we may all congratulate
ourselves that this cruel war is
nearing its close. 1t has cost a
vast amount of treasure and
blood. The best blood Of the
flower of American youth has
been freely offered upon our
country's altar that the nation
might live. 1t has been indeed
a trying hour for the republic;
but | see in the near future a
crisis approaching thatunnerves
me and causes me TO trembie
for the safety OF my country.
GAS a result of war, corpora
tions have been enthroned and
corruption in high places will
follow, and the money power OF
the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices Of the peo-
pie until ali wealth is aggre-
gated in a few hands, and the
republic is destroyed. [ feel at
this moment more anxiety for
the safety Of my country than
ever before in the midst of war.
God grant that my suspicion
may prove groundless.
IF he were alive today he
would find his fears more than
realized. The money power has
the government grabbed and is
running things to suit itself.

Secretary of War Alger ha

Secretary Of War Alger has
discovered, simultaneously with
the announcement of his candi-
dacy for a seat in the United
States senate, that 1.-THE wide
spread spirit of consolidation of
great financial interests is an
evil which must be contended
against legislatively, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t is to
be feared, however, that Mr..
Alger, if he shall succeed in
winning a seat in the senate will
conveniently forget that trusts
are unlawful and dangerous.
Outlines to the struggler who
has attained success bad things
no longer assume d forbidding
mien. Moreover, the present
secretary of war has a facile
manner of ignoring public opin-
ion. In the event Of his cleo
ton to the senate he could ask
in the matter of trusts, as airily
as he asked on the subject Of
embalmed beef: ''Well, what Of
it?"

A Negro of Georgia was the Victim of

African Alive - 1t Looks as Though

burned at the Stake.

In the presence of nearly 1000 peo-
pie who sent aloft yells of defiance and
shouts of joy, Sam Hose, Negro, who
committed two of the basest acts
known to crime, was burned at the
stake in public road - miles from
Newman, Ga. Before the torch was
applied to the pyre the Negro was de-
prived of his ears, fingers and other
portions of his anatomy. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits and
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The Negroes heart
was cut in several pieces, as was also
his liver Those unable to obtain the
CHASTITY relics direct paid their more
fortunate possessors extravagant sums
for them. Small pieces went for 25
cents and bit of the liver crisply
cooked sold for 10 cents
Later-Two other Negroes, supposed
to be connected with Hose, have since
been lynched.

Largest workshou in America.

Lasting success does not come in
moment, and true success is never the
result OF luck" 1t takes time and
real merit, with plenty OF experience
and honest effort, to reach the top in
anything. The history of the Deering
Harvester Co. of Chicago is an example
Of success on large scale. With more
employees than any other single manu-
featuring plant of any kind in America,
1t Is now running day and night to
fill orders. Since 1891, when Deering
machines were put on the market with
bicycle bearings" the growth of the
business has been marvellous. The day
is not far distant when other manu-
facturers will be forced to build light
