the man who displeases the tyrant is liable

vidual obnoxious to the mob-who may be
! perfectly innocent-loses his 1t Is an I'M
/ fortunate fact that the mob conscience Is
| lar inferior TO the individual conscience in
| activity and loftiness of motive. The voice
OF the people is not the voice of God when
the people are crazy with excitement. Mob
rule is not that of the majority; 1t Is that
OF the dormant wild beast, stirred up in
the worst element OF the population This
Wild beast must not be pampered or ex-
cused. 1t is the thing which centuries of
civilization have been trying to crush out.
1t is the worst enemy of the State When
the people, with one voice, demanded war
with Spain, giving multiplied reasons for
their demand 1t was simply the concur
rent opinion Of the nation against few
strong capitalistic interests. When. here
and there, crowd seized and maltreated
an unoifending Spaniard, that was mob
rule, and contrary to the better feelings
OF the whole community. There is a diff
ference between the calmer instincts of a
whole people-instincts which govern their
public actions-and the crazy emotion of a
crowd led on by inflammatory oratory.
Such crowds are not as common as they
used TO be. 1t is doubtful If the scenes
of the draft riots in New York could ever
be repeated in that city, and after ST. Louis
has emerged from her present condition
of anarchy and ccmmotion she will prob
ably not repeat her experience
All the confusion, danger, and outrage
which come of the prevalence of mob rule
can be avoided by intoxicating in every
American, first, strong respect for law
and order, and second, deep determine
ton to make the laws what they ought
to be to secure his rights as an individual.
The schoolboy should be taught that the
only true freedom is respect for law, and
that if he does not approve of the law, the
way for him to protest against it is to
vote it out Of existence.

Hughes of Tue son, the bronco democratic orator of Pima county. Johnny blu,hinRly mounted the stage, and for fully half an hour enlightened the assemblage upon the powerful doctrines of dem- ocracy. Then Mir. J. B. Finley, an- other light in Pima county democracy, and candidate for joint councilman, was called to the platform, and he en- frightened them some more.

THE PLATFORM.

We the democrats of Santa Cruz county in convention assembled re- affirm our adherence to the time hon. ored principles of democracy.
 RESOLVED: That we pledge our hearty support to our peerless leader, that great Tribune and Apostle of the rights of humanity, William Jennings Bryan. In him we have unfaltering faith; the cause Of human rights, not only this land, but throughout the world, has in him gallant champion.
 RESOLVED: That the democratic party uuqualiiedly condems the ad- ministratioD's policy of imperialism, and reiterates the belief that all gov ernments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that a enial of this prisciple and right to the people of the Philli- pine Archipelago means sooner or later its destruction in our own land.
 RESOLVED: That we are opposed to large standing army, and believe the safety and welfare of the republic can be best guarded by our citizen soldiers. We recognize the fact that this imperiallstic and trust ridden administration does not believe in the volunteer as he carries conscience as well ae gun
 RESOLVED: That we condemn the Republican administration for It's pro- tection to the trusts. With four years of ,McKinleyism, republican senate and republican house of re- presentatives, not single step has been taken to curtail the fearful rav- ages of these enemies of industrial competition, which are grinding down the laborers and blocking the avenues of advancement of the young manhood of our country.
 RESOLVED: That we give our un- qualified indorsement tc the Kansas City platform in it's entirety. We recognize the doctrine of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l, as a cardinal principle of democratic faith.

The pemocratic Convention.


 ss result of It's deliberations pre-
 aoo,ed a ticket for the suffrages of the
 ro,ers of Santa Cruz county which
 carries some very strong candidates,
 hpt more who will prove very weak.
 The best common tary upon the con.
 veptIon and its work came from a
 rromipent democrat who was asked
 to hermit his name to go before the
 hooy for nomin 'tion:
 Why said he, "I wouldn't know
 what to do in so motley crowd. Chronic office seekers, populists, ,repub
 licans. Chenoweth democrats and democrats of the simon pure democ' racy should feel as If l had fallen into Christian scientists gathering"
 The convention was called to order by the chairman of the county cen traI committee, MT. Robert Williams. and Doctor A. H. Noon was elected temporary chairman and MT. C. T.. GIldea temporary secretary. The usual committees upon creden tials, platform, aud order of business were appointed and the conyention took recess until afternoon.
 At the time of recess it was un- determined whether the outside, under lead of Mir D. c. Chalmers of La Noria, or Nogales, under lead of Mr. F. J. Duffy, had control of the convention. Nogales had six votes iri the convention and the outside pre- cincts nine. Could Mir. Chalmers weld together the outside precincts he could swing the convention easy" But Nogales had to pull away from him only two outside votes aud MT. Chalmers chance of runDing things would go glimmering. It is needless to say that the Nogales con. tlngent, by few skillful trades. won out, and secured the requisite major. ity. But one trial of strength was made, and that was upon the legis- laliye nomination. Doctor A. Il. Noon, republican chairman of the board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county and former chairman of the territorial populist committee, and MT. B. J Whitesides of Nogales, were placed before the convention Doctor Noon received eight votes and MT Whitesides five. two delegate failing to vote Upon all the other nomina- tions save supervisors, the candidates who failed to get into the combina- tioD sought cover and did not permit their names to go before the conven- tion For supervisor there were four candidates presented. Of the four Richard Farrel of Harshaw received nine votes, Robert Williams of No gales received eight votes and V. H. lgo of Elgin four votes. Messrs. Far rel, Williams aud Gee were declared nominated. Everything else went by exclamation.
 When the convention assembled in ln the afternoon the committee on Credentials reported the following delegated entitled to seats:
 Nogales: P. J. Zeimet, H. w. Purdy, Maurice Breeu, 0. T. Gilday, A. H. Noon, F. J. Duffy; Tubac, J A. Bur. fuel; Calabasas, Jos. Wise; Washing ton, A. $. Russell; Lochiel, D. G.

GENTLeMANLY WARRIORS.
SavaGes Supplied Their Enemies with
Food and Ammunition.

Savages Supplied Their Enemies with
Food and Ammunition.
We are accustomed to speak Of the
which modern fighting is carried on,
and to congratulate ourselves upon the
advance which has been made in this
respect, says the London Mail.
But is this advance as great and as
real as we imagine? Fer example, how
do our present-day customs of war COM
pare with the old-time fighting methods
of the Maoris, the natives of New Zea-
land? 1t will surprise good many
people to hear that when band of
Maori warriors was going to fight the
warriors of another tribe 1t was not
unusual for the numbers 1t was pro-
posed to place in the field to be COM
municated to the enemy; moreover, one
side often provided the other with arms
and provisions, so that the enemy
might not be placed at too great dis
advantage.
Here are q few stories which Illus
trate the generosity which the Maoris
of former days displayed toward their
enemies. A chief was asked why when
on certain occasion he had command
of the road, he did not attack the am
munition and provision trains of the
English. The Maori, utterly astonished
at such question, exclaimed: "Why,
you fool, If we had stolen their powder
and food, how could they have fought?"
Another chief, who considered that
he had been insulted by the chief Of a
neighboring tribe, said that the other
chief, had he not been much the strong
er of the two in arms and ammunition,
would not have dared to act in so in
sulting manner. This speech came
to the ears of the neighboring chief.
who thereupon divided his arms and
ammunition into two equal parts. and
sent one-half, along with an invitation
to fight, to chief No. l.
On another occasion chief who was
fighting against us, and who was sho I
of guns and powder, sent this messaLo
to the governor: "My custom with ri
gard to my enemy is, If he have not \
weapon give him one, that we ma
fight on equal terms. Now, o govern
or, are you not ashamed of my defense
less hands?" A clergyman who llveJ
a long time In New Zealand relates how
in one Of the intertribal wars the be-
sieged sent word to the enemy thu
they were short of provisions, and tn,
beslegers at once handed over supplj
of food.

signal they were to arrest the persons
whom he designated.
AS the clock struck 0, the two thieves
approached from different directions,
and met at the corner.
One of them carried a satchel, which
was apparently very heavy, judging by
the way in which he carried it.
AS they stood a minute, talking, u

against the man carrying the satchel,
almost knocking him down, and caus-

So saying, the thief stopped to pick
up his satchel, when violent push

pavement.
rang out upon the night air, and before
the two thieves fully realized what had
happened they were securely hand
cuffed and on their way to the station.
| Behind them walked Bob, carrying
the satchel, and entirely recovered
from the effects of the liquor from
which he was apparently suffering only
a moment before.
The next morning Bob appeared at
the inspectors office, carrying a
satchel.
The inspector looked up from his
desk, at which he was writing, and
said:
"Well. Westbrook, what have you
captured? Something worth the trou-
BILE, l hope"
II don't know that it's much of a
capture, sir" said Bob.
"Well. what was it?"
"Only the robbers Of Fairchild's jew
elry."
The inspector grasped him by the
hand and shook it warmly.
MY dear felloW, permit me 10 con-
gratulate you! You have discovered
what has puzzled some of the best men
in the force. How did you do it?"
Bob then related his experience with
the letter and his subsequent advel-
lures.
When he had finished his story the In
spector said:
"Westbrook, from this hour you are
detective, attached to the regular force
think the thieves will have cause to
rue the day"
The inspector was right. Many a
criminal has Bob since brought to JUS
tice, and often have the criminal class
es had cause to rue the day when he
was made detective.-Spare Moments

were several stalls, in which were ta-

Bob felt that he had made an Import
ant discovery. About n week before Il
diamond and jewelry merchant off Hol-
born had been robbed of large amount
Of jewelry. The thieves had left moth
ing by which they could be traced, and
although Mr.. Fairchild, the owner of
the place, had offered large reward,
they had thus far escaped detection.
The following morning Bob walked
into the inspectors office.
"Well?" said the Inspector.
IL should like to have the use of
three officers, in plain clothes, this
evening, sir"
"You have discovered something
them"
"Yes, sir"
"What is IT."
"Will you be kind enough to permit
me to defer an explanation until to-
morrow morning, sir? l wish to com
plete the job before make any re-
port"
"Then you expect to capture the Grim
lnals tonight"
"Yes, sir"
"If you do so, shall have to acknowl
edge that you are born detective, Yor
shall have the men,"
That night Bob stationed his men OH
of sight near the doorway where he
had hidden himself, on the preceding
night, and waited for the arrival Of the
thieves.
He had arranged a signal with the
