ISSUE or IMPERIALISM.
rOranee Observer. ]

Ills of the night, rot OF the morn
ing.
The issue of imperialism is as old as
history.
It is the new order or the old order.
Which will we choosel
Macaulay predicted the death of the
republic. Will we prove his prediction
true?
It came like a scourge upon Babylon,
and the only record left is buried
| city in the sand.
Imperialism is a relic of raganlsm
and despotism as opposed to Chris
tianity and liberty.
1t belongs to the old epoch of force
and murder, not the new epoch of love
and brotherhood.
The disease has fastened itself on
every great nation of the world and
the result has been death.
It drove Cyrus forth to conquest,
but liberty shattered his mighty hosts
on the shores of little Greece,
It stalked with death under Timour,
but all the world recalls of him is his
phastly tower of human skulls.
It awakened the stupidity and cruel.
ty of Spain, and today she is the theme
of the contempt and pity OF mankind.
It stirred in the irresistible ambition
of Alexander, but all his victories ended
in an early and dishonorable grave.
It burned in the breast Of Napoleon,
but his crimes against liberty were
gxpiated amid the barren rocks of St.
Helena.
Imperialism is the apothesi5 of ma
.ernalism. It ignores the divinity
within rs and recognizes nothing but
brute force
1t burned like a fever in the veins OF
Rameses H., but all that is preserved
Of Egypt ale the pyramids, battered
Sphynx and memory.
It fell like a blight on the republic
of Rome, ard the greatest nation Of
antiquity became the prey of her own
corruption, greed and lust.
1t has a new lease of life in England
and its handiwork is shown in The
| starving millions in India and the muir
| dered farmers of South Africa.
That is the issue. Gloss it and dis
! guise it all you will, apply to it ali the
catch phrases and high.soundiDg terms
| yet the truth remains.
| The devil is an imperialist anC
sought to convert Christ when he tool
| the Saviour into the mountains auC
: offered him all the kingdoms of tb
world.
| Which is the noble wqy?" To b
actuated by love Of humanity or lust o
| gain? 70 lead the nation on towar'
perfect freedom or to turn back It
| tyranny?
Is this nation also TO become it
victim? Is the grea est republic Of tn
world 10 abandon tue ways Of libert
and return to the blood-stained path
of despotism?
1t is all Ct piece. He who puts tn
dollar above the man will put the EN-
pre- above the republic. will put Casa
above Christ, will put Mammon abov
| God.
| The imperialstic shore is lined wit
breakers. Along the rock-bound coast
as it extends backward into the pas
| lie the wrecks of splendid states. Ar
they rot warn n9 enough?
We have marched out of the land
bondage and are now,n the widerno'
with the golden calf. Will we tur
back to the fl, sh pots Of Egypt
march forward to tue promised land

Arizona Has Summer Weather That
Cannot BE Recorded.


Cannot BE Recorded.
The cottonwoods have shed their
caterpillars, there has been a thunder
storm, mesquite wood has fallen in
price, Indians are selling bows and
arrows, the rose and the oleander
have long been out, oranges are in
bloom, the umbrella tree is putting
out its leaves, last summers suit has
been cleaned and pressed, the
small boy has gone swimming In the
canal, the wise man stays up nights
and steals irrigation water from his
cut, strawberries have been shipped,
mulberries are nearly ripe. summer
will soon be here and the Phoenix
summer bedroom will soon be nee
essary. Phoenix sleeps out of doors
in the summer and the bedroom Is
born out of that necessity. 1t ia on
stills, is built of wire screen OF fine
mesh, for the Phoenix mosquito Is
microscopic in size. 1t is furnished
according to the taste of the occu-
pant, with interior curtains to keep
out the morning sun, the gaze Of the
curious and the sand storm. The bed
is cot Of canvas or woven wire, COW
cred, perhaps, with a sheet, but even
a sheet feels like a featherbed on a
Phoenix summer night. The bed COW
ering is the roof of the bedroom, and
careless folks who consult their COM
fort only don't wear nightshirts.
Phoenix is proud. of its climate dur
ing eight months of the year, but IL
doesn't talk much in public about it's
midsummer. 1t Is right warm day
when the government weather bureau
doesn't know what the sun tempera-
ture Is and is unable to determine it,
and that Is how hot II gets in Phoe-
nix. l called on Observer Burns one
day last July and asked him what the
official temperature was in the sun.
He said he did not know and that the
government couldn't afford to expert
ment to that end. He said he had at
tempted to catch the sun temperature
during the summer of 1898 and had
broken SO thermometer in the at
tempt. To please my curiosity he
hung a thermometer in the sun,
watched it until it registered 1876 de-
grees, and then took it in, fearing it
would break The dryness OF the at
mosphere relieves this great heat Of
any terrors to all living things except
women and cats.-Phoenix Graphic.

ton Governing Mediation.
Paris, July 24.-At the council OF
ministers the ministers of foreign af-
fairs, NJ. Delcasse. read a telegram
from the emperor Of China asking the
mediation of France with the foreign
powers. The telegram was signed by
Kwang Hsu, and not by Pub Chan, the
son of Prince Tuan. The reply given
by NJ. Delcasse was that the request
would be considered only upon abso7
lutte knowledge that the following acts
had been accomplished. l. That eff
cacious protection and absolute free
dom of communication have been as
sured between the French minister at
Pekin and his colleagues of the diplo-
matte corps and their respective gov
ernments. 2. When Prince Tuan and
the high functionaries responsible for
the actual events have N dismissed
by the government to aw it inevitable
punishment 3. When the authorities
and bodies of troops throughout the
entire empire shall have received an
order to cease hostilities against for
eigners. 4. When measures have been
taken for the rigorous repression of the
boxers" So long as these necessary
guarantees are not furnished there is
room only for military action. NJ.

the powers had responded favorably
to the proposition to prevent the ex-
portation of armies to China.

The causes of summer catarrh are

Such being the case anyone who
knows anything whatever about the
operations of Peruna can understand
why this remedy'is a permanent cure
for summer catarrh. 1t eradicates
chronic catarrh from the system, invig
crates the stomach and liver, cleanses

A Curiou. story OF Complications.

The marriage of Isaac Williams and
Mrs. Lydia Ruby, at Oklahoma City.
brings into print a curious story OF
complications which arose out of the
lax administration OF the territory's
divorce laws. Some years ago Mrs.
Ruby procured a divorce from Mr..
Ruby in the probate court. She thec
married Mr.. Williams, and they lived
together happily for two years. At
the end Of that time 1t was decided by
the supreme court that the probate
judges had no Jurisdiction in divorce
cases, and that all DEGREES issued by
them were null and void. Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams at once separated. and
she brought suit in the district court
for divorce from her former husband.
In due time this was granted, and.
after the lawful time had elapsed, she
was married again to Williams.
