PHOENIX, ARIZONA. MAY Sl, 1901.

The nation gathered yesterday again in the eternal camping grounds. There
 were not long avenues DECORATION of snow-white tents. DAY. There was none of the
 rush of war and none of its panoply. No battle-hags were stirred by the passing breeze. The hab- itations of those who dwelt within the camping grounds were How green tents, whose curtains nsver outward swing" Instead of the color of the flags of war, were the red and white of roses and the blue of the sky arch ing a land where peace rules. We have passed the period of mourning for the nations dead. There was time when Decoration day was a season of re- current grief. It is now a day when pride is reawakened. More than a third of a century Is sufficient to sub due the widest grief. Ours as na- ton, and as individuals has not only been subdued but on each thlrti5th day of May We are now rather filled with joy that our dead died bravely that the nation might live.
 And We are glad that on each Deco ration day there is less of animosity. as we'll as less of grief. than there was on the preceding anniversary The blue and the gray have blended into an indistinguishable color The bloody shirt" has been thrown into the receptacle for those things which are of no more use in this world, It awaits the coming of tine ragman. None would save 1t but those who were lag gards in the war. and he of the south who would prevent the throwing of a single shoveful of earth into tha bloody chasm. we are sure was not one of the men in Picketts gallant charge. He was a coward who was lit- tie heard of in the days of '61-'64. Like the northern laggard. his raucous voice was greatly heard in the land when the fighters were trying to re-estab- fish the brotherhood of Americans The love of the men who earnestly and bravely tried to kill each other more than generation ago has prevailed, and We have no north. nor no south. any more.
 The fighter of the north and the fighter of the south were brave and honest It is true one was right and one was wrong. Many a gallant con federate soldier would have fought as courageously under the stars and stripes, if his lot had been cast north of Mason and Dixon's line, And many a northern hero would have fought for the partition of the states, if he had

The Republican prints this morning
 has been made upon MAKE THE Thomas A. Edison PUNISHMENT for a certain sum of FIT THE money, In compensa- CRIME. tion of which his cor
 respondents agree not to kidnap his 12-year-old daughter. The subject of Kidnapping. evlr since the abduction of Charlie Ross, has been one of great interest especially to wealthy persons who love their chill dren.
 a quarter of a century has elapsed since that horrible outrage, no state in the union has enacted law which Is sufficiently terrifying to kidnapers. In some of the states there is no law under which one could be convicted of the crime of Kidnapping.
 We think this form Of crime might be discouraged if 1t were confronted by a sufficiently stringent law, say for instance. one which would provide that the criminal should be hanged by the neck until dead. Arizona fixed such a psnalty for the less harmless crime of train robbing, but no jury ever had the common sense to enforce it. though ample opportunity has been offered. New Mexico has such a law. and a little more than a month ago under the operation of that law, the head was jerked off a train robber be- cause the sheriff had made a mistake in the diameter of the rope with which he intended to suspend him.
 We believe that in consequence, q train robbery will be committed in Arizona before one is committed in New Mexico, since the gentlemen en- gagged in that occupation are aware that the New Mexico law may prove fatal. There used to be a law in Eng land making petty stealing a capital crime. An argument in favor of it's repeal was, that 1t was so severe that offenders were. the more likely to es- cape at the hands of sympathetic juries. Statistics. however, show that stealing has greatly increased since the repeal. No one could urge the con- tinuance of such a punishment for such a crime, but all will agree that no penalty. or even torture, can be cruel enough for one who robs a mother of her child; and none can hardly be too severe for the train rob Der who endangers the lives of hundreds of passengers. though he may have murderous intentions against none.

A BRITISH MARK TAPLEY.

Sir Robert Giffen i. England's latest Mark Tapley. Addressing the bankers Of London he declared it to be sheer nonsense to say that "Ghe South Afri- can war expenditure came out of in come and not cut of capital and said ''the war had scarcely disturbed busi- necs at home
 Sir Robert is an eminent :'.atlstician and fiEancier, but in this instance he seems to have ignored facts for the sake of playing the opt.mist and trying to make his countrymen Took pleasant" at the South African situation A war that has already compelled England to add s450 000,000 to her huge national debt, wiping out the reductions of it which she had made during the three reisns of George ", William " and Queen Victoria. carried the income tax to the highest noint at which it has stood since the crimean war, and near ly doubled the annual expenditures of the government, which are now close to $1,000, COOL 900 a year can hardly be dismissed as a war that has. scarcely disturbed business. ."-N.

The scarcity of farm hands in the valley has come to be very serious matter. for if relief does not come from some source, all the abundant crops cannot be cared for. That event. how ever, would not be so serious as not having abundant crops. The trouble seems to lie not wholly in the fact that the crops arg abundant. for within the last five years there have been sea- sons when they were heavier. There is not so much help here now. The prosperity of Sonora, the opening of so many great mines there have with drawn hundreds of Mexieans. who un- til now that they are gone, have not been fully appreciated. Record prices are being offered for ranch help, but 1t Is not here.

BISHOP POTTER AND TIE NEWS
 PAPERS.

Bishop Potter has given public ex- American newspaper.
 The modern newspaper Is bulky be- cause it is read by many men of many minds, and there never was time in the history cf the world when there were as many men of as many minds as new. There are all sorts of readers and each sort Is interested in it's own !Cecialty. Again, the area from which news is drawn is bigger than 1t ever was before and is continually increas- ing. becauca every new railroad and telegraph line, every new conquest of war, and every fresh discovery of peace opens up new areas. There are now parts of the world furnishing daily newa which were unknown. so far as news is concerned, when Bishop Potter was boy Steamboats. railroads. tel graphs, telephones. the development of new regions, and the increase of pop ulation are primarily responsible for the bulky newspaper
 But the bulk need not stand in any ones way. It is to obviate this very thing that the most important news is placed upon the front page, and that summaries and indexes are prepared. so that the busy man can decide what he wishes to read, finds it in a moment and skip the rest.-Chicago Tribune.

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE PHILIP
 PINES
 The fears expressed by some solicit ous Americans lest thee Filipino people would be s.olw to appreciate the advan- tages of civil service fall to material ize: some of them, at any rate. Fully 700 persona. speaking English and Sraniah entered the lists at the recent civil service examination which created so much interest and comment in Ma nila. As giving evidence of the fact that Filipino wcLnen are showing themselves alert to opportunity, as well ar the men, 1t is interesting to not that about doz- en Filipino women applied for positions as post office clerks. junior clerks. book keepers. stenographers and typewrit- CTS. It is quite safe to predict that when the next civil service exan:na- ton in Manila comes round the num- Der of applicants from among the Ell ipino women will show a notable in- crease. They are not slow to recog- nize opportunity, after all. in Aguinal- dos islands.-Boston Globe.

 One is health; the other is not-quite health.
 This condition of not.quite health can be turned into health with Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil.
 It is a pity to get in the hab- it of thinking of health as a thing to be hoped for; why not go for it now!
 There is only one way to make strength: by food. You want appetite first, then food. The emulsion will give you food-rest, to master your food with.

Sewing as business is an exac,ing ana exhausting occupation. Long hours, fine work, poor light, unhealthy atmosphere these are only some of the things which fret the nerves and hurt the gem eral health. Often there is diseased condition of the wonanly organism which causes backache or headache and the working of the sewing machine under such conditions is akin to torture.
