except the desire to increase his fortune.
once in while something happens to
disprovo his assertion. and something has
happened that refutes the statement that
man Is all hard and callous and cares for
nothing but himself and his own selfish
interests. The Galveston horror has
served to wipe out many OF the fine span
theories OF tho pesslmists. Tina, greatest
calamity OF the century has served adj
mlrahly to show the real manhood and
womauhcod Of tails, the most generous
nation on tho face Of the great round
globe. Tho Instant response Of this Ma
tion to tie soulful appeal Of the stricken
people OF city and section is the most
beautiful ana delightful refutatlon OF the
SANDER that all men are selfish and cold
and dear to the appeals OF the real needy
And the rush to the rescue Ia not ova-
yet. Every day there are more dolla S
pouring In that they may be used to save
the lives OF the llttle children who are
orphaned, the coed women who are Wild
owed and the strong men WIN lost homes
and families and are now battling to save
their neighbors. There never before was
such interest shown in any calamity as
in this one, and rightly so, for never be-
foro was there any such calamity in this
Nation | am stopped dozens Of times a
day mere in this capital city OF tho Ma
tlon and asked about Galveston and the
horrible story of suffering there. Men
whom l never saw before stop me, when
they know am from Texas, and ask me
all about Il. They discuss it with me,
showing the most intense interest and
leave mo often with tears in their eyes.
Some OF them swore because they were
ashamed 20 cry 1t was a great tragedy
that instantly brought the whole Nat on
in touch with Galveston and the state
OF Texas. The Nations heart was re-
vealed. 1t beat In pity and In sympathy
with the poor and stricken people OF the
storm swept section. Many a, man s heart
is way up a long pair OF winding stairs
and there may be cobwebs over the door
from long disuse; but when you finally
reach it and tap upon the door once, twice
or thrice, the quivering lip or the start

heart OF a brute. The Galveston horror

apprehended alone from Mr.. Bryan. OF
course the fears OF the interested class,
who want McKlnleylsm only to prevail In
the selections for the court. need not be
considered
II Is sufficient answer to this ridicu-
lots objection to the democratic leader,
II any really patriotic people fear that
he win attempt to reorganze the supreme
court improperly, to ask, where is the
senate supposed TO be? Is that body not
republican and does 1t not have TO con-
firm every appointment which Mr.. Bryan
would make to the Federal bench? Is
1t likely that any man would be allowed
to go OH the bench as democrat who
was not In every way worthy of the
honor?
1t will be remembered that not only
politics but personal objections and in
diyidual hostility in the senate, have re-
peatedly succeeded in having nominees
for the supreme court rejected, This
was SO in Mr.. Clevelands term aud has
been true since the foundation OF the
government.
In filling vacancies on the supreme
bench, and that is all the president
could do Mr. Bryan would undoubtedly
present the nance of eminent democratic
lawyers only. The senate would then
confirm or reject them as it saw 1T. That
is all there IS in this campaign roar
about Mr.. BRYAN and the supreme
court" II anybody is fool enough to
withhold a vote for Bryan and Stevenson
on that question, argument would be
wasted on him.
In the meantime and whilo the repuh.
licans are raising this Issue how many
of the good conservative common people
Of America would be willing to entrus
the selection or tho reorganization Of tn,
supreme court to Mark Hanna, or to At
torney General GrIggs, the open defend
or OF the trusts?

ceity OF the American heart.
~
The game OF politics in the Eastern
country is warming up. and the warmer
1t gets the more hopeful become the
democrats and the more desperate become
the republicans. They seem to see the
hand writing on the wall and to feel
that they are UP against the real thing
this time, good and plenty. Everybody
here IL amazed at the recent antics and
speeches OF tho Hon. Mark Hanna. The
republicans are panic stricken and the
democrats are delighted. II shows to both
sides very plainly that tho big republican
boss has lost his head and is badly scared
and ratified. He not only sees defeat for
Mckinley, but also the complete elm
ination OF himself from the arena o. poll
tics In this Nation. Hanna not only secs
the drift every day towards Bryan, but
he is mad and worried and nonplusssd
over the fact that the money is not COM
Ing in as fast as it did in 90 and In that
fact alone he scents defeat. Hanna has no
other idea except that of money. He he
lieves It to be omnipotent in politics,
that every voter carries with him sordld
soul He believes that the number of
votes he can get is limited only to the
supply OF money he can raise, and when
he can not raise 1t IS tsst as he would

Stone says that perhaps both Croker and

HUNTS RECORD ON EIGHT
 HOUR BILL.

The report has been consistently circulated by persons wishing to injure G. w. P. Hunt, that he voted against the bill for an eight hour labor day, in the last legislature. The charge IS entirely false, as the journals of the Twentieth legislature show. The first bill pertaining to hours of labor was House Bill No. 2S, introduced by Sanders of Yavapai, and which never reached the council, having been de- feated by decisive vote in the house.
 On February 24 Evans introduced in the house Bill No. llS, relating to the limitation of the hours of daily ser vice of laborers and mechanics em- ployed upon the public works of the territory of Arizona. This bill did not reach vote in the house until March l6, the last dsy of the session, when it passed that body and was sent to the council, wler through the efforts of Mir Hunt it was considered, but the motion to suspend the rules aud read bill third tirle was lost. Fol lowing is the coun,il record: Page 4l9, Journal of the Twentieth Legis- lature:
 ''On motion oi Mir. Hunt, Il. B. No. LIS was talked from the committee of the whole and considered by the council.
 Motion to suspend rules and read third time was lost by the following vote:

The following states have tax quail ification for voters; Arkansas, poll tax must be paid; Delaware, regis tration fee of one dollar must be paid Georgia, only citizens who have paid taxes since 1877 are entitled to vote; Pennsylvania, the voter must have paid taxes within two years; Missis- sippi, poll tax must be paid; Tennes- see requires payment of poll tax. Some other states impose a property qualifi. cation.
