PHoENIX, ARIZONA, APRIL 2e, 1901.

The city election is less than two weeks off, and with the exception of
 the chairman and sec THE retary of the central CITY committee, and some of ELECTION thE candidates, very
 little active work has been done by the republican party.
 It is time every member of the party went to work. There is no good reason why we should prssen our political enemies with mayor and a full set of city officials. This will be the result unless We awake to the importance of the occasion and strive zsalously and continuously to secure votes for repub- liean candidates.
 There Is no reason why the republi- can candidates should not receive the full party support. Every man on the ticket Is clean, honest and capable. If elected they will serve the peop.e faithfully. Walter Talbot will make an ideal mayor. safe, consistent and reliable. He should receive enthuslas- the support from every business man. regardless of party. Absolutely noth- ing detrimental can be justly uttered against our candidate for recorder. Every ybody knows Mir. Jobs and every body loves him. He will be elected if his friends vote for him. The only danger lies in over-confidence. Some of his friends. thinking that he will surely be elected may be led to cast their ballots for his opponent, or to trade a Jobs vote for votes for other candidates. This should never be done. Let every boat ride its own storm. George Kirkland has the hard est tussle. There Is no denying the fact that his opponsnt Is popular and has many warm. personal friends This is ell the more reason why Georges friends should hustle for his success. The republican candidate for treasurer is another man against whom a strong fight Is being made. Harry Creighton is entirely competent for the office. He has never before asked for any rec ognition from his party. He and his friends have always labored unselfshly for party success. It Is time such ar dent young republicans as George Kirkland and Harry Creighton be re- warded for valuable services. MT. Kinney is our candidate for mar shal. Kinney Is an Irish gentleman.

The various factions of the demo- cratic party in this city held a joint conference last night. They did not agree very we'll on several matters, but decided to continue the colonization of the Third ward. They decided. also, to try to secure the services of the French girl who has recently startled the world by shedding needles. It was thought that she might be able to give democracy some pointers.

For ways that are strange. and ! tricks that are vain, the democrats
 are certainly peculiar, PECULIAR Captain Alexander. the METHODS. guardian of the party Tn this city. In a fit of righteous indignation forced the party to adopt a good-morals resolution. The party didn't want 1t, They didn't know what to do with the thing. What experience had the great unwashed ever had with good morals? It was as useless to them as a newborn babe. But they had to accept the confounded thing. Joe cracked the whip and every membfr of the convention. except two. grimaced, gulped and danced his little jig.
 Ever since the convention the lead CTS of the party have been furious. It has been mighty hard work to carry water on both shoulders without slOp- ping. When the saloon element would ask them what they meant by such conduct they would smile and smirk and order the drinks, and remark: 70. that's all right. You understand our position. That resolution means nothing. It was forced on us, don't yer know. We had to swallow the dinged wing-wang, or Joe'd stick his knife into us. You needn't fear us fellows" And then wink and go off into the side rooms for lengthy con ferences.
 But 1t would never do to let the good citizens league get onto their devious methods, so they have divided their forces. In this they show shrewd gensralship. While one party is fight ing In the trenches, another division is attacking the heights from the rear. The enemies attention is thus divided and their ain less effective While Joe and his psalm singers are assur- Ing the moral element of their unfal- tering fealty. the other fellows are ex- horting the saloons and swearing-be- tween drinks-supreme after-eleetion 
 In this way no chances are over looked. In this way they catch 'en going and coming.

 which was resting, after having tried
 to push a sandbar out of the river. He
 followed the seafaring life of juggling
 wood. etc, for thirty days and left the
 boat with some more Yukon experi-
 ence but no money. He next put in some good hard work in tearing up
 scows and in furnishing lumber and
 muscle in building the hockey rink.
 His reward for this effort has not been
 paid in dust but he has the satisfaction
 of generously helping to afford amuse-
 ment for Dawson hockey players.
 After thess experiences with the
 scow. steamboat and amusement busi- ness he plunged into the maelstrom of
 mining and for two months wielded a shovel and pick on a bench claim on
 Hunker which did not produce color. In January he deserted Hunker and se- , cured a lay on another well known creek, and with a partner made prep
 arations to develop the claim. A com
 fortable cabin was built, tools and grub secured and everything went merrlly.
 During the recent cold snap they made a trip to Dawson after some more food.
 When they returned to their cabin It was with the result that they were in bad shape from exposure. One of them had frozen his face and hands badly and the other was generally disabled. They returned to Dawson for repairs and in about a week returned to their claim to find their cabin in ashes, along with food bedding, tools, etc. They made a hustle and secured another outfit and continued the work. living in a rented cabin.

Nebraska Caves.
Now let us briefly review the caves in
Nebraska, noted by Mr.. Greeley and
also by others within the confines of
the city of Lincoln is one, just north of
the penitentiary. A number of years
ago. before the city of Lincoln was even
village, band of Indians camped
near this cave they built fire at the
mouth and carried on a ceremony of
dancing and other antics, while num-
ber went, from time to time, into the
cave. This continued all night and
when daylight came the firebrands were
scattered, they mounted their ponies
and rode away. Once, while the peni.
tentiary was building, a band of Indians
camped near the same place, but the
cave was then used as cellar for a
brewery and the mouth was closed, so
they did not get to use it. This is the
last account we have of their return.
Greeley says there were five such
caves in the state of Nebraska, four of
which he saw, but the fifth, which was
on an island in the Platte river, was the
finest and largest cave of all. He only
knew of this by tradition, as it was lost
even in his day. have not Greeley's

logical conclusion that Coronado told
the truth about these people IN has acay,
and probably for diplomatic reasons
made his account as mild as possible.
He probably understood "this to be the
end of Quivera," partly because his
beautiful, young wife was impatiently
awaiting his return to Mexico and his
followers, not finding gold, were ready
to acquiesce in his report, and partly
because he was thoroughly disgusted
with the insignificant proportions of his
discovery. So after twenty five days
spent in a fruitless attempt to discover
some such empire as current reports led
him to believe could be found, he re.
turned to his army and thence to the
west coast of Mexico. He never did
anything worthy of note afterward,
although he lived to ripe old age and
became very wealthy.

THE GHOST DANCE.
ARBOR LODGE.


ARBoR LODGE.
Between the dark, uneven lines
OF trees in the low ravine
The rising moon has sent its rays,
Till now no longer intervene
The yelling boughs above, it shines
And greets the distant grove of pines
And here and far away the land,
Awaiting the bright moons quest,
Rolls out it's plains. The searching light
Illumines scenes of strange unrest.
The chill November wind makes moan,
The vanished years sigh through it's tone.
For all sweet, faded summers gone
Have left, in their dying, strains
That DER and DER ring out tonight
Re.echoing in sad refrains,
And fair Nebraska's g prairies lie
A trysting place where spirits cry.
Out yonder is the silvered field
Where once, in the by-gone days,
With flash of tomahawks swung high
The red man sought in savage ways
To celebrate treaty signed,
With war dance on the land resigned.
The noiseless shadows lurk below
The trees as their branches sway,
Like 1.-THE, dark forms of Otoe braves
In groups of stealthy foes at bay,
Just where the old fields margins creep
To new-grown woodlands shading deep.

Like ghosts of the slain in strife,
Wan heroes from the silent band
That trod this prairie soil in life.
Like cry and wall of savage love,
The wind means plaintively above.
It sings, and sweeps in mournful dirge
Through depths of the curved ravine,
And calls from hilltops where the pines
Approach the sky with sombre green,
Till echo answers echo heard
Like some sad, mocking voice of bird.
With quickened rustic come the leaves
To rise when the wind pipes high.
From roadside ways and gathered drifts
Like spectres through the air they fly,
Or ghostly steps their fittings trace.
Each leaf is like a withered face
Which, scared by age, has come again
To look at the hunting ground,
Where shone the camp fires ruddy glow
And welcome was in wigwams found,
When Otoes dwelt long years ago
Beside the dull Missouri's flow.
Spellbound, the rolling prairie shines.
BY notes Of the wind harps led
The red mans spectre joins in dance
With ghosts of all the summers dead,
While, calmly, DER the weird unrest,
The moon moves slowly toward the West
