Capt. Masoa Shoots 4 Negro.

Cap Mason, the we'll known river
man, shot an unknown negro twice
last Monday night at Paducah. The
latter had gained entrance to his sick
wife's room. Capt. Mason was sleep
ing in another room, and when he
heard his wife's creams he came to
her assistance. He shot the negro in
the back and in the side, but the brute
managed TO make his escape.

The election of Mckinley is now
conceded by some of the Democratic

another prosperous term. The evil
dence OF the past is a guarantee of the
furtue prosperity of our country.

Leaves From a Reporters Book.
From the Tucson Citizen.l

lfrom the lucsoh CltlZeh.I
 William M. Neal is the mainstay of the district court which meets in Flor ence. He is the whole thing; for him fifty jurors were summoned, brought over the mountains from Gila and Gra- ham counties where there are good men and true as steel. But one of the whole number came from Pinal, so the cost in mileage of the term will reach the maximum. And the only case on trial is that of the United States vs. Mir. Neal of Oracle. The case is an old one that has appeared at different times and in varied forms and presents a good illustration of the bulldog tenacity of the government when it gets after a man. Mir. Neal was charged with cutting government timber and the jury before which the case was tried returned verdict of not guilty. Then Uncle Sam brought suit to collect $7 cord from Mir. Neal for wood that he is charged witl. cut ting, the aggregate summing up in the neighborhood of $8,O00-just about enough to break the defendant. This case came up at the present term, Fifty jurors were summoned and the attorneys picked out twelve men, all peers of a peerless realm, and placed them in the jury box. The other mer were paid off and sent home. and tht case against MT. Neal proceeded. Il is still on trial and if the government does not stick it's man it will be out ; goodly sum, for this is the only cas' that will come up for trial at the pres ent term. Those who understand thu case are of the opinion that MT. Nea is being persecuted instead of pros ecuted.

The behavior of the American [ diers in the far east has attracted tention in all parts of the world. recently as just before the outbr of the Transvaa1 war the Daily Nj of Grahamstown, Cape Colony, in appreciative editorial on "The An ican Troops in Manila" said: "One son taught by the struggle in the r lippine archipelago is the amazing titude of the American troops.

irrigable area of the arid region of the United States, says:
 That this vast acreage, capable of sustaining and comfortably support ing under proper system of irriga- tion population of at least 50,000,0 ,000 people, should remain practically a desert, is not in harmony with the possibilities of the future.'
 Wouldn't our government be acting a.ore like christian, civilized country, fit were to stop killing a people who are engaged in identically the same kind of a warfare that our forefathers waged against England, Lighting for their liberty and independence, and expend the money which this unjust war is costing the people to make com forta ble homes for them-those who have been born and reared under the protection of the stars and stripes who have fought her battles--who have aided in building up and making this the foremost and most powerful nation of the world. Are they not entitled to more consideration than the semi civilized people of the Philip pine islands? Would not the money be better expended? Would it not promote more genuine happiness? Would it not provide comfortable homes, right at our own doors and within our own borders, for our nat ural increase in population for the next hundred years? And, finally, as business proposition, would it not add more to the permanent and mate rial wealth of the country than the whole Philippine archipelago after it is conquered and a stable government established? No lives would be sacri- feed. No families broken up. The money expended would eventually be returned to the people an hundred fold.

A NEW COURT.
Creation of Supreme Court District
 Meets With Favor.

There is an agitation in favor of creating Supreme Court Judicial
 District comprising Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, the court to be composed of three judges, one from each territory, before which court all cases on appeal from the Territorial District Court of the respective terri
 tories shall be heard. The creation of this court wovld abolish the Supreme Courts of the respective territories. The proposed court seems to De desir- able. The judges of che District Courts are now charged with all of the labor which they should be required to perform, besides, it is not fair to them to require them to pass upon eases which one of their number had
 already passed upon. As the Star observes, no matter how conscientious and honest they may be, there are those who are ever ready to charge the Supreme Court with trading, so as to secure an afiirmance of their decisions in the lower court. There appears to be good grounds for tho creation of the Supreme Court suggested, and it is understood that all of the District Judges of Arizona are strongly in favor of the same, which is only another evidence of the superiority of the per sonel of our Supreme Court of Arizona.

Says the West Baden Journal: One of our subscribers wishes to know the difference between salary and wages. It is this: If man is getting $4 a day for running a machine, laying brick on wall or doing something that makes a white collar and cuffs uncomfortable, he is getting wages. If he sits at desk and gets six dol lars a week, has soft hands, wears white cuffs, collar and tie, he gets a salary.

It is reported and believed here, says the Stafford corresponent of the Star, that active work will begin in the coal fields very soon, as it is known that Senator Hanna and other eastern capitalists, who were busy with elec- ton affairs, are interested in the deal, and now that the excitement of the political battle is over, it is expected that the plans that have been formu- lated for the development of the coal mines will be carried out.

"LuNGERS."
The Two Sides of the Question from Ari-
 uona Standpoints.
From the Phoenix Republican,

If we were Hunger" we hardly think we would sit around on the court house benches trying to cough up what was left. We don't believe we would stalk around the streets like a galvanized corpse, our face looking like small boys scratch book and our mind busy with thoughts of the ''girl I left behind me-" He might just as we'll attempt to keep a sealskin wife on muskrat salary as to try to get well by such means. The re suit in each case would be the same.
 We are not sure, of course, but we think we would leave the city with it's noise and hustle, it's damp streets and irritating dust and smoke, and set up cosy little camp on the desert out near old Comeback, where there is 10 dampness, no smoke, no dust-and there we would bask in the glorious sunshine and live on cream and rare oLcdho anu BCL Out ChJO9 AAOhS AASA- sHS daily funerals we attended-the funer- als of the erstwhile frisky germs that had been the bane and curse of our life. And our exercise we would get from digging their graves, and in cul- tivating the beautiful flowers of hope and peace and content. And then, when our graveyard was full, and our garden in bloom, we would not make fool of ourselves by leaving land that had brought us prosperity, of health and of gladness, but we would buy us a few acres and plant it to oranges and then wait calmly for the day when the "black camel" would kneel outside our door and the time had come for us to lay our weary head to everlasting rest on pillows of peace. We think that's what we would do.

THIS QUEER OLD WORLD.

It is queer how things go by contraries here, 'Tis always too cold or too hot, And the prizes we miss, you know, always
 appear
 To be better than those that we've got. Itis always too wet or too dusty and dry, The land Is too rough or too fiat; There's nothing that's perfect beneath the
 blue sky
 It's pretty good world for all that. Some people are born but to dig in the soil, And sweat for the bread that they eat, While some never learn the hard meaning of
 toll,
 And live on the things that are sweet. 4 few are too rich and a lot are too poor, And some are too lean or too fat An, the hardships are many that men must
 endure
 It's pretty good world for all that The man who must think envies them that must be
 Ever pounding and digging for men, And the man with the pick would be happy
 if he
 Might play with the brush or the penl All things go by contraries here upon earth {; Life is empty and sterile and flat; Man begins to complain on the day of his birth l It'sa pfetty good world for all that

A correspondent of the Tucson Citi- zen takes exception to the above article as follows:
 II notice that the Phoenix Republi- can boldly refers to invalids of that place with the disrespectful sppella- ton of "lungers." The term is a loath- some one, and only those who have be- come hardened to the dread disease by contact with the unfortunate ones afflicted employ it. am surpris l to find it in the columns of the Republi- can. Probably DO agency in the sa,9 river valley has done more than tnaS paper to bring to Phoenix the invalids of the east. It invited them, coaxed them, urged and jerked them into the new mecca, and now that they are there the editor gets upon his editorial tripod safe from the infection which he has invited and looks down upon the wasted forms of the new corners and refers to the unfortunates as 'lungers." A newspaper should not get down to the level of the street and gutter. Because the term has become general one in Phoenix is no excuse for the Republican to stick it in it's editorial columns and heap humilia- tion upon its sick visitors, who for the most part hear the horrible term for the first time when they reach Phoe- nix"
