Several years ago there was cons
slant and consistent agitation in
this city, among the merchants for
a reduction in freight tariffs to this
city. All this is silenced now, for
some reason or another. Several
committees went to Denver and
talked sagely Of tariffs. \ Andy
Hughes took them 10 his bosom
and they came home and told
glowing tales OF hospitality and
promises - showered upon them.
The most active at that time are the
meekest at present. Never a word
is heard upon tariff schedules. Can
it be true that the tempter took the
most rabid and made them even as
lambs, when taken to the shearer.
Moral-When a tariff don't suit
you, keep mum to your neighbor,
don't fight it, but get where-un>
der it.

Chaffce's S Offense.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE German foreign
Office authorizes tho Associated Press to
make the following statement regarding
the Won Waldersee- Chatfee incident,
based upon 4 cable dispatch just re-
ceived from the field marshal:
General Chaffes wrote Fisld Marshal
Won Waldersee a letter in q rough tone.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee refused to

The expense accounts OF the
various candidates for Office are be-
lug filed with the secretary of state,
and they show expenditures rang>
ing from nothing to several huns
dreds of dollars. And this brings
up the question why a man who
happens to be nominated for an Of
fee should be subjected to any ex>
pense at all. Most people, outside
of those who have votes to
sell and those who wish to buy
votes, scorn the idea OF vote buy
ing, and there are laws against
bribery, yet the money spent by
candidates can only be considered
as money spent to get votes, and it
might as we'll be spent directly as
indirectly. 1t has come to be a
custom for candidates to go around
and spend money before election,
and so long as some do it others
feel that they must follow the prec-
dent, but it is custom that ought
to be abolished 1t often happens
that good man for an Office can
not accept a nomination because he
has not the money with which to
make campaign, and the tendency
is to put up men whom it is sup
posed will spend their money freely
among the grafters who prey upon
those who aspire to office. There
ought to be reform in this direc>
ton even to making it punishable
offense for a candidate to spend
money in treating and paying pros
fessional politicians for their sup
posed infuence.-Silver Plume

No document penned by human
hands ever attained the dignity
that has been accorded the Ameri>
can Declaration of Independence.
No document. relating to the rights
of man and human liberty, remains
ed so long unquestioned in its pres
cepts, its commands and declara
tions. Suddenly and without any
preliminary skirmishing, men OF
only mediocre ability none Of whom
approach the stature OF many who
preceded them, attack that great
declaration and its companion the
constitution and preach new gos>
pei that, for our present welfare the
almost divine writings in those
marvellous documents, are antiquat>
ed and untitled for our needs. The
money greed and commercialism of
Hanna, Grosvenor, Foraker, Freye
and few OF that timber, presume
to inculcate such doctrine. 1t is
wonderful that the common people
do not hurl defiance at these de-
spoilers and belittlers OF our mas
tional bulwarks, the Declaration of
independence and the constitution.

Mrs. Bradford's Lecture.

The Presbyterian church last night
was we'll filed to heur the lecture OF Mrs.
Mary Z. Bradford, OF the Federation Of
Wsmsn's Clubs in the state.
Mrs Bradford's subject was "Practical
Ideals in Education.'' Those who had
heard Mrs Bradford were anticipating
an intellectual treat, but those who had
never heard her, we're hardly prepared
for the magnificent talk given by Mrs.
Bradford.
1t 10 with much regret that The Senti-
mel cannot give Mrs. Bradford's lecture
in sxtenso. 1t was one OF the most pleas
ing addresses given in this city in long
time and showed that the lady had i'm
bibed her ideas. not from heresay re-
ports, but from experience and from de-
ductions which showed that she had
been a ripe student Of educational affairs
in this and other countries.
She reviewed tho French system of
schools and education and praised them
highly saying that they more than COM
pared with our own. In many features
they were ahead OF US.
She advocated the manual training
system in schools and also the system OF
school savings banks, which have been
tried most successfully In tho eastern
country. Those taught habits OF thrift
and economy. possibly more to the well
fare Of tho scholar than tho studies Of
Greek or Latin and many other OF the
polite studies Of tho modern systems Of
education.
Mrs. Bradford is not at all favorable to
tho system of marking in the schools. 1t
il an unnatural condition Of pitting one
scholar against another. She would
favor other means a. an incentive to
study.
Throughout the hour and over which
Mrs. Bradford spoke she was listened to
with the most wrapt attentention and it
could be plainly seen that her sentiments
were taking root in the minds Of many OF
her auditors.
A short and very pleasant musical pro-
gram was given a. prelude to the Ice
ture, which was participated in by a
a number Of ladies, members Of the club.

Too many scholars have the idea
that, it is disgrace if they do not
advance one or two more grades
during scholastic year. They will
advance into higher grade, even
if the work of a lower grade has
not been successfully comprehend>
ed. 1t would be far better for the
student in many instances, did he
or she remain in a grade double
the time limit prescribed by the
laws of the school. Such laws of
advancement should not be arbi-
trary, but yielding, as the individ-
ual needs of the student seem to
demand. In our judgment teach
ers and faculties are at fault when
they do not make the matter of adj
vancement plain to the scholar. 1t
is we'll that they shall teach and
cultivate ambition in the scholar to
excel. But equally so is it their
duty to expressly impress upon the
scholor the injury they do them>
selves, their future and their teach
er, when they advance, just by
slipping through on examinations
without thoroughly comprehend
ing all the work gone over in the
grade in which they advance from.

What Does This Mean /?

A perusal of the history Of rail-
way transactions during the past
four years shows US this period
has been the most disastrous, from
a financial standpoint, of any other
Of the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devsl-
opment or improvement of rail-
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable in
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and scr
vice. And the public has been
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness Of the roads.
One Of the most notable cases
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road. which seems
to have forged right ahead with
its improvements and has exhibi-
ted an unrelenting determination
to give the public the best pos
sibls facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how we'll this
corporation has succeeded in it's
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret of this
SUCCESS is obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to a generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better it's ia
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been of mutual and re-
eiprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought q handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems. the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts TO servo the people
we'll. 1t has high-class road

lent equipment to end with, and

The following is from the pen of a Missouri editor: Drink and the gang drinks with you, swear off and you go it alone, for the bar-room bum who drinks your rum has a quenchless thirst of his own. Feast, and your friends are many, fast and they cut you cold; they do not get mad if you treat them bad, so long as their stomachs are fed. Steal if you get a million, for then you can furnish bail; its the big thief who gets out on leave, where the little one goes to jail, Ad- vertise and the dollars will come; quit and they fail to arrive; for how are men who have money to spend, going to know you are still alive"

4 KICK FROM BRIGGS.
Failure to Appoint a Registration or ficer Works Hardship and Dis
 franchises Voters.

Briggs, Arizona, Sept. IS. Gro the Editor of the Journal-Miner)- r)-The board of supervisors of Yavapai county have willfully and deliberately disfranchised the voters of this pre- cinct.
 In the month of June the necessary credentials and registration books were forwarded, it is alleged, to T. E.. Parish, commander of the faithful at Whipsaw mine. By that time, how ever, Mir. Parish had builta hen house and stocked it with 100 hens at a cost of S100,000. His work here being fin ished he left for his home in Phenix, not to return. The county recorder was advised of the facts and he ob- tained the promise that a correspon- dence would be opened with Mir. Far ish and his consent obtained to rectlfy the matter. Weeks passed and we again inquired as to what progress was being made. This time it was answered that the board would meet n September and the registration of voters here would be provided for. September has nearly passed away and we now receive the cheerful in formation imparted by the enclosed letter to the effect that citizens in this princinct must register elsewhere in order to vote. It is only fair to state that S100,000 chicken house is now paying a small dividend.
