The fact that American fine wools have been exported to Europe and are finding ready sale there gives new hope that the day is not far distant when our silks may wedge their way into a market hitherto considered cut of the question. It is net long since the day when a proposition to send American iron, machinery and ccal to England would have been considered absurd, while tradesmen secuted the idea that English N1cllens could be competed with. To the genius and skill cf the Yankee manufacturer and artisan all things are possible, and we may soon see their silks invading France as other products of our foundries, mines ard looms are doing in England.

PHGNIx, MAY IA. 1899.
THE DOCTORS NOW ENGAGE.

The proceedings of the meeting of the Association Of American Phys icians in Washington the other day furnished additional reason for the fear that the fighting after the Span ish war is over is going to be fiercer and more protracted than was that while the war was actually in progress. A paper on typhoid in the volunteer camps was read by Dr. V. c. Vaughn, one of the beard Of surgeons appointed by Surgeon General Sternberg last summer to look into this matter when the epidemic of typhoid was prevalent in the camps. The paper was a severe arraignmenIt Of the volunteer surgeons, and, incidentally, of the officers who were responsible for the policing Of the great camps of Jacksonville, Chicka mauga, Camp Alger and Mon talik. Dr. Vaughn, according to the press report, in effect charged that most of the volunteer surgeons did not know case of typhus fever when they saw 1t, and that they from ignorance CT other motives reported and treated u1PuuS IuS OA POA oAoISAS ' malaria indigestion gastric fe- ver'' and f'typho- malaria" It is said that this board made a thorough study of the subject, and its report has been looked forward to as an authoritative work The ,relgort is nldt yet com- pleted, but pr. Vaughn's paper was in the nature of an advance statement, with the sanction of Surgeon General Sternberg, who was present at the meeting. Here is most serious ar raignment of the competency of the volunteer surgeons as a class. The suggestion of motives for failure even worse than ignorance, was a sen sational count in the indictment. It is not likely that these imputatfons- which, if they were leveled indiscrimi- nately at the volunteer medical service must clearly do gross injustice to many competent and patriotic men-will fail to receive prompt and fitting attention from the class which has been at- tackled, and it looks as if the report of Surgeon General SternIberg's board would be the signal for another con troversy as bitter as that over the question of army beef.

Ravens isn't a poet More'n a sheep is a goat. < <


 Speaking cf Havens, anti expansion, the Los Angeles Herald and the Filf- pinos, I am reminded Of a request made a few days ago by the govern DTS of many western states at the instance of some Of their constituents, tflat when the war is over, or at any rate, when the war department gets ready to bring the volunteers home, that 1t bring them around by the Suez canal, presumably because the scenery is less monotonous along that route than on the Pacific, where there is little to be seen but sky and water. I do not sup pose that such a request was ever made before. It shows a great deal of national thoughtlessness and inability to comprehend that war is not a season of junketing.
 
 We imagine that i've are a very wise, brave and patriotic people and would become a very warlike people if we had to do so. There is no doubt of it, but we would have to learn a great deal if we were engaged in very seri- Ous var. We would have to learn in the first place that the management of the war must ha' full control and must not be hanpered n the rear by AO ~lo AEtiAAES Hully iOAuOHto e'iAO lldllOTS predicting failure. We would have to try our improved rifles on a few of our own citizens before we would be fully prepared to go forth and put the en- emy to flight.
 
 However, I am not shaken in my earlier opinion that Ravens is no poet and that the editor of the Los Angeles Herald could not recognize a poet if he should meet him crossing the des- ert which connects the town of Yuma with the town of Los Angeles.

ATKINsoN's LAME EXCUSE.

The defence made by Edward Atkin- which he endeavored to send to our soldiers at Manila and to the F'ilipinos, and which have been thrown out of the mails by order of the postmaster gen. eral, is enc which is not creditable to the intelligence heretofore presumed to be possessed by that gentleman. One of MT. AtkinsCn's excuses is that his circulars were mainly composed of speeches made in congress against ex- pansicn. He ought to know and prob ably does know that that fact does not exempt him from the charge Of trea- son, for some of the most seditious talk ever heard in the country has been ut tered in the halls of our national legis- lature, and it has been so branded by the overwhelming vote of the patriots of the nation on many occasions
 Prior to the civil war and the with drawal of the southern senators and representatives their congressional speeches fairly reeked with treason, yet the logical conclusion of Atkinsons s SACuS0 IS I1dI l16y were proper De- cause forsooth they were spoken by public men at Washington. MT Att kinson's second excuse is that an American should be permitted free speech" The federal constitution does give wide latitude both to press and people in this respect, but it limits their rights in unmistakable terms when it fcrbids any word or act which gives aid or comfort to an enemy. Mir Atkinson has right to think what he pleases of the present attitude of this government but he plainly has no right to put his opinions into such form as will incite it's soldiers to nut iny or encourage the enemy to believe he is right in his rebellion against it's authority and to hold out in cprusi- ticn to that authority The Boston "aIpti-imperialist'' should be thankful that a generous government does no more than confiscate his pam phlets.

The library association should re- ceive the support of this community. There ought to be 200 members, at least, and the annual income should be large enough to pay for a capable librarian and supply several hundred new books each year. In two or three years the library would be we'll estab- lished. It ought to be kept out of local politics and it will be If the people of Phoenix give it the support to which it is entitled.

THE FAULT FINDER

Clark T. Havens Of Yuma, not un- known in Phoenix, mingles his voice with the angry roar of the Colorado. Sings he: .,i.~ al gi ''Yes, haul the starry banner down Where'er it floats for tyranny; Heed not the tyrants scoff and frown, But save the flag from infamy.'' This and seven other verses impels the reader tc suspect that the Bard Of Yuma is opposed to expansion, but Mr. | Ravens had better tried to express his views in prose than to attempt to force Q rhyme between tyranny" and ''infamy." That $ worse and more tyrannical than the coercion of the patriot Aguinaldo, for whom the poet of the Colorado continues his plaint as follows:
 Wipe cut the stain, the deep disgrace,
 That aims it's glory and it's fame And disenthrall the struggling race
 Who die in freedoms sacred name"
 The bard goes on demanding the re- call of the troops from the Philippines and dsfying the expansionist ''knaves" who accuse him of treason. The charge against MT. HavenS will not be pushed vigorously and will, perhaps, be allowed to pass unnoticed. This poem" was printed in the latest issue of the Yuma Sun and the only excuse Deacon Devine has offered for the in fiction is that the Los Angeles Herald complinented MT. Ravens on having written "a classic vcicing the highest sentiment of the hour, relative to the Philippine aggression
 
 I contend that the editor of the los Angeles Herald is not a good judge of classic poetry. His praise of MT. Havens' poem is prima facie evidence against him, but there is strong corrCborative evidence in the circumstance that not SC very long ago the Los Angeles Herald's editorial page contained a ballad, "The Border Widows Lament" and credit was given the Kansas City Star. Every body familiar with ScCtt, of course recognized the ballad, but most of the Herald readers could not understand what part the Kansas City Star had in it. The explanation was this: The Star had for some time been republislh- ing many of the better known classical ballads and poems. Sometimes the name of the author was given and sometimes it was net. In this case it was not and the Los Angeles judge of highest sentiment and classic poetry mistook it for something new.

| philosophy, analysis of English class ics and composition, and evidences of l Christianity. Mrs. Benson is stil liv- | ing, and when the college celebrated
 it's semi centennial she gave her di-
 ploma back to her alma mater, and it
 now hangs framed on its walls. These facts are condensed from an article in | Harper'S BaZar.
 The United States is the cnly great
 nation in the world whose postofIlce does not pay a profit to the govern ment. In 1896 the total receipts of the postal service from al sources were less than $S3,000, ,000; the total eXpeQ1i lures were ever $94 100000. The de- ficiency was in excess of $11 100000. The chief reason for the deficiency is the Hbera. attitude taken by the na- ton toward second-class matter. But as this is construed as an educatiye power. the deficiency may be justified. Many students of political questions declare there is no reason why the postal department, serving the needs Of the people, should be expected to pay, any more than should other branches of the service
 The immense domain of the United States is a factor that makes this ill- vidious comparison in expense with other nations unjust. Uncle Sam car ries letters for two cents over an area larger than Europe. Great Britain's postof1ice pays over $13,0OO,0 900 a year, but England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales could fit into Arizona Ger many makes nearly 96,0O0, 900, but the empire is only three-quarters the size of Texas. The profit of the French pcBtoffice is nearly $10,O0O,00O; Uncle Sam could compass this if he could re- duce his domain to Arizona and Wyo- ming. Itaiy comes out about even by carrying the mails poorly in nation the size of Montana. Considering the immensity Of the amount of mail car ried, the magnificence Of the distances and the comparative smallness of the force, the showing of the postal service Of America is marvellous.
