w. J. Duke, foreman for Anto- nelle x PaganO, contractors on the Morenci Southern railroad, was ar rested on complaint of J. c. Smith for obtaining money under false pretenses and tried before Justice Munro last week. The evidence proved that he had drawn from said contractors money for his time after he had as- signed the same by written order to one Sam Henderson, who, in turn, as signed it to J. C. Smith for S14.50, bor- rowed money with which to leave the camp and go to Bisbee. The justice was satisfied by preponderance of proof that the action of Duke was fraudulent and fined him S37.90, which will cover all the costs of the case and reimburse MT. Smith for the amount he advanced to Henderson. Fortu- nately for the defendant the law re- garding ''false or fraudulent repre- sentations to obtain money or prop erty' was amended in 1895, or he would have been held to answer for a felony. Judge Goodwin represented the territory and asked the court to be lenient to the accused.

It Happened in a Drug Store

''One day last winter lady came to my drug store and asked for brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock says MT. C.. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. 'She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation l could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with d fIiend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. l con- sider that a very good recommenda- tion for the remedy" It is for sale by C.

The post office department has an opinion from the attorney general in Washington, which sounds the death knell to the ''endless chain," and ten times-one-is-ten" schemes. This meth cd of doing business, in recent years has grown quite popular. A person secures card for ten cents from some city firm-shoes for instance-and when he succeeds in selling ten other cards to friends, each of whom fol lows his example, the first man se- cures a pair of shoes. The depart ment rules that the scheme is a lot tery and that all documents relating to it are unmailable. It is not expliC- itly stated in the opinion of the attor- ney general that endless chain collec- tions for charity, where no prize is of fered, are excluded in the condemna- tion.

ANOTHER HANNA REMOTE.

Imperialistic Mark Hanna, the power
behind the Mckinley throne, makes
a speciality of sounding keynotes. He
intoned another one on Tuesday, at
Asbury Park, n. j., when he said
THE time is at hand when every man
is called upon to contribute what he can
to perpetuate this administration
Here we have the essence of Repub-
licanism. sPerpetuate the admins
tration" is a confession of Republic
can intention which goes little far
ther than anything the Big Boss has
hitherto given to the public. 1t is the
new administration rallying cry. 1t
means, not only a second term, but
a third and a fourth, if it means any
thing under the sun. "Perpetuate the
administration. To perpetuate it
means we are to have it always with
us, SO long as Mckinley shall live and
Hanna shall reign.
Mr.. Hanna is both frank, and unfor-
tunate. He doubtless meant what he
said, but he was not iudicious in say
ing it. The people are scarcely ready
to 'perpetuate" the present admins
tration, with it's militarism, its imper-
ial tendencies, its arrogance, its thirst
for unlimited power, its disregard of
the Constitution, its scandals and its
extravaganza. Mr.. Hanna has made
nd which tho
pie will be glad to take up to his dis
comfiture and sorrow.
"Perpetuate the administration"
Not in a thousand years. The Amer
lean people have had quite enough of
the present administration. and far
from "perpetuating" it, they will sum-
marily end it on the sixth day of the
coming November.

ROOSEVELT AND HIS SPEECH.

The following paragraph appeared IN
the editorial columns OF the Wheeling
lntelligencer yesterday morning:
Governor Roosevelt's correction of the
ISLANDERS OF the Organic press in their dis
tortion of his ST. Paul speech was in no
wise intended to please or conciliate the
Demo- Populist party. What he said OF
the mongrel gathering at Kansas City
stands. and in no way reflects on those
Democrats who have repudiated Bryan
and his anarchistic followers OF them he
we'll said They stand Tor lawlessness
and disorder. for dishonesty and dishonor,
for license and disaster at home and cow
ask the support of all Americans who
have the welfare of the country at heart,
no matter what their political affiliations
may have been in the past
1t will be observed that the Intelli-
gencer says, and the quotation must be
taken to reflect its views
what he said of the mongrel gathering
at Kansas City stands, and in no way re-
fleets on those Democrats who have re-
pudiated Bryan and his anarchistic follow
ing"
Mark the words we'll.
According to the Interpretation of
the Intelligmcer, ATr. Roosevelt did
not reflect" upon those who 'repudi-
ate Bryan and his anarchistie follow
ing" but Roosevelt's language applies
to everybody who approves of Mr.. Bry-
an and the Kansas City platform. Ergo,
it applies to everybody who does not
approve of Mckinley, Mark Hanna, i'm
noriolic+io ;daac tr,,r+ announcement
and belief in the American Constitu-
ton, the traditions of the republic, the
right of self government for all men,
and all the rest of it.
At last we have an interpretation of
the New York Governors remarks, a
little advanced from the Governors own
meaning. The position of the Wheeling
Intelngencer is fixed, and everybody
who supports Mr. Bryan or who be-
lieves in the Kansas City platform or
the principles and policy it stands for
'lawlessness and disorder, for dishon-
esty and dishonor, for license and dis
aster at home, and cowardly shrinking
from duty abroad"
1t is well that the people should un-
derstand and appreciate this estimate
OF their worth, patriotism, intelligence
and love of liberty. They were first
denounced by Roosevelt, later on
Roosevelt explained in effect that he
did not include in his edict of anathema

on earth or for not reason at all could

A CONTRAST.

The average Republican speaker and
newspaper has nothing but abuse or
ridicule for William Jennings Bryan
He is usually characterized as mon
grel," as "blatherskite, as a vision
airy dreamer" as dishonest" or in 4
long list of other opprobrious terms.
This being the case. it is somewhat re-
freshing and likewise worthy of note,
to quote from recent expression of
opinion by Henry f. Greene, of Mime
apolis, a stalwart Republican, who
says:
81 regard Mr.. Bryan with great respect,
but ] look upon him as dangerous. He is
absolutely honest and he is thus addition
ally dangerous, because his honesty and
sincerity secure for him a hold upon the
people which could not be obtained by a
rascal or a hypocrite."
Here we have the respectful critic
ism of fair and open enemy. Mr..
Greene's language and belief is re-
spectfully recommended to the careful
study OF Republican newspapers of the
Wheeling Intelligencer and Parkers-
burg State Journal stripe.
Does any rational American citizen

Freed of her colonies, Spain is re-
ported to be prospecting. We have as
sumed her burden, and it is costing
the American people about one hum
bred million dollars year, not to
speak of other things. Spain had a
long head when she got out of the
colonization business, and particularly
when she extracted twenty millions of
dollars from us for the bad title she
possessed to the Philippines. We have
taken I'D the white mans burden,
and we are paying dearly for our
whistle.
