Children" said the teacher, while
instructing the class in composition,
according TO the Baltimore American,
you should not attempt any flights of
fancy. but simply be yourselves, and
write what is in you. Do not initiate
any other persons writings or draw
inspiration from outside sources"
AS a result of this advice Johnny

AN American woman says the
Boston Journal, who lived in Paris
was famous for her cook. Her dinners
were popular and celebrated, and the
conversation was largely a tribute to
the chef. The day came when she
should return to the United States
Could the cook be persuaded TO &c
with her? What! leave Paris
Never!' But she offered him salary
that was incredibly, prepos terousiy
high, and he went with her. She had
hardly settled her house when shs
gave a dinner party that she hoped
would be sensational. Not one dish was
fit to be eaten. The hostess, almost
hysterical, after the gloomy meal was
over, rushed to the kitchen to find out
whether the cooks art was a matter
of Partisan atmosphere. And then-and
only then she discovered that her ia.
nous chef had never cooked dinner fol
her in Paris, that he had got it al
from world famous boulevard res
taurant"

The Morning News published the
other day brief paragraph referring
to the facts that ex-Gov. Jones of Ala
bama had been a member of the recent
constitutional convention, and that
he had been appointed to judicial po-
sition in which he might be called on
to pass upon the constitutionality of a
part OF the fundamental law adopted
by the convention. The Atlanta Con-
stitution is apparently able to see in
that simple statement of simple facts
an attack on Judge Jones. 1t says:
When such a painstaking and care
full newspaper as the News can be led
into such a statement, the possibili-
ties OF injustice may be measured"
We would be pleased to have our con-
temporary point out where there is
any attack upon or injustices TO Judge
Jones in our paragraph, or any criti-
cism of his appointment by the Presi-
dent. So far from having any attack
or criticism to make in respect to the
matter, we approved of the man and
the appointment in an editorial of
some length Immediately upon the an
nouncement of the appointment, and
which editorial the Constitution did US
the honor of printing on it's editorial
page last Sunday. We have the ut
most confidence in the integrity and
high mindedness of the new federal
judge in Alabama, and have never said
or thought anything to the contrary.

Preacher Who Caught on.
From the Chicago Record Herald

i.
He preached about the pleasure
That there is in doing good;
He held the Scripture sacred,
And he did the best he could
He consoled the weeping widow
And he dried the orphans tear,
He made his sermon scholarly,
But few turned out to hear.
He preached about the danger
That there is in doing wrong,
He held that being righteous
Goes for more than being strong.
He preached that men should follow
The Lords teachings day by day,
And presently he noticed
That the people stayed away.

The Greenville Is. c. News has it
from it's Washington correspondent
that there is a good deal of talk at
the capital about the President offer
ing to Senator McLaurin a cabinet
portfolio" A large number of letters
have been received by the President, 1t
is said, suggesting McLaurin for a
cabinet position. We advise the
Greenville News, which is very friend
ly to the Junior senator, to be careful
how it accepts such stories. 1t may
be that the Tillmanites are trying to
kick McLaurin UP stairs and thus
get him out of the way.

A new merit system for teachers is
to be instituted in the public schools
of Washington. D. C. The teachers
will be graded according to the merit
they display in the class room. Re-
ports are to be made out at brief in
tervals by the principals. The reports
will have ratings ranging from SD
perior" to poor" and the markings
under these several heads are to be
based upon the most pronounced i'm
provement made during the stated IN
tervals by the classes under the va
rious teachers. The school board VIII
examine the markings on the princi'
pals reports, and when promotions
are to be made they will be the only
means used in making selections.
Length of service or experience VIII
count only in cases where the class
ratings of two or more teachers chance
to be equal.

Germany will be obliged to import from foreign lands for her own con sumption 3,0O0, ,O00 tons of wheat, and 1000, 900 tons of rye. Her crop forecast has just been made by an agricultural paper, which sent out five thousand questions to the farmer The result reached by the answers is that Ger ruany.s yield of wheat will be about 2.47O, 900 tons: of rye, about S.145.5Oo tons: of summer barley. about 3.O2l,s6O tons; and of oats, about 7.105.oo0 tons. This indicates a decrease in the wheat crop since last year of 1.s37. .560 tons. which must be added to the deficiency of last year to give the full amount Of the importation that will be required. A marvellous season of prosperity is apparently opening for the American farmer The demand is steady. and in creasing yearly. and the American az riculturist has the supply to meet the requirements of the world.

It would be interesting to know whether the Hon. Charles M. shannon, who is reputed to be the principal owner of the Tucson Citizen. stands for the uncalled-for and libelous attacks of that paper upon Governor Murphy. MT. shannon has seemed to take some pride in being considered a respect able and decent citizen, and has ire ouently professed warm personal friendship for the governor and an ad- miration for the excellent record of the territorial administration. He can hardly profess ignorance of the con tents of his own paper or an inability to control in such an important mat ter the irresponsible hireling who edits the Citizen as if he were merely the
 iunkey of Ives of Yuma. If Mir. Shan of the Citizen he must confess him. self an ingrate and lacking in the gen tlemanly qualities heretofore attribut- ed to him. It has been said that he holds the laudable ambition to be gov ernor of Arizona when it becomes q state, but it is not too soon for him to understand that no respectable dem ocrat can be associated with the pres ent course of the Citizen without losing caste with the better citizenship of the territory. and that no man can be a leader who lends himself to the low politics now characteristic of that pa per. Somebody has well said that pol itics is only skin deep. and that when matters affecting the decencies of life are involved all respectable men stand together. Presumably Mir. Shannon wishes his paper to acquire standing with the self-respectable people of Arizona. but no intelligent man. how. ever new to the newspaper business. can be misled into believing that vul- garity and lies will win in the long run. Any paper can achieve temporary sales if containing sensational and foul per sonalities, but no paper can lower itself to the level of the Citizen as it now Is, without communicating and ruining in the public estimation every man connected with 1t.

No tangible change has taken place in the copper market situation. says Bradstreets. although prices for copper mining shares have continued to be extremely cratic and variable in their course under the influence of varying ruiriors. One Of these consisted or a repetition of the statement that severe cut in the price of the metal was contemplated by the Amalsamated Copper company and its agent. the United Metals Selling company. On this there was q further heavy de- cline in the market price of the Amal- gamated shares early in the week. carrying their quotations to the low est figures they have touched since the downward movement set in. Other copper stocks suffered proportionately. and. temporarily at least. that part of the share market was demoralized- A rally of considerable proportions has ensued. however. accompanied by re- norts of q more favorable character. The alleged intention of the Amalga- mated to institute cuts In the price or copper was denied. and. so far as can be seen, that organization and the copper interests allied with 1t are de- termined to persist in the policy or holding prices at between 16 and IL cents per pound. irrespective of whether; as Is claimed, there is large unsold accumulation of the metal. It is also pretty clear that the output Of the mines and smelters in the conbina- ton has been reduced materilly.

 in from citizens in every walk of life attest the love which abides in the hearts of the people TOT the martyred president That the movement will be a success there IS no doubt In no section of the union was President Mckinley more sincerely and generally loved than in Arizona' and the people of this territory should not overlook the opportunity to have an honored place among the subscrib- CTS to the memorial fund.

For years and years. In fact running
 oldest real Arizonian' DETRIMENTOS. recalls not the con-
 trary, this territory has been a sufferer from the plague of the detrimento. They have appeared in such various forms that 1t seems needless to name them. but at times they bob up in disguise and execute damage to a greater or lesser extent. as the case may be, before discovery comes and arrests the further progress of the disease breeding crew.
 We call them "knockers." as rule. and they have come from all ranks and classes and hail from anywhere. Probably no place on earth has been worse cursed with detrimentos than has poor, old Arizona.
 The only real danger that attends the presence of these microbes comes in the fact that they obtain credence oc- casionally outside the connnes of the territory. and it is on this account, right now when every patriotic and loyal citizen of the territory is acting in unison and in harmony, regardless of politics or religion, with his every neighbor in the struggle for statehood that it behooves each loyal son to use every legitimate effort towards the "scotehing' of the detrimento. no mat ter in what form it may be found

Statistics show that the number of men employed by the railways of the United States exceeds one millionaire total standing June 90, 1900, at 1,017, 653. The list has undoubtedly grown since the date given. but making a liberal estimate on the basis of five persons dependent on every actual worker. the supposition is reasonable that one per- son in every sixteen in this country finds support from wages based on the railway industry. It would be impossi- ble to estimate approximately the num- Der of persons who derive their means of livelihood through an indirect con nection with this single industry. The increase in railway employees for the three years prior to June 90, 1900, per iod of revived industry, following i'm dustrial depression. was 194,1T7. In other words, about one million people more are supported by the railroads to- day than was the case four years ago. This single illustration reveals how vitally important is reailroad prosper ity to a large portion O. this country's pOpuldtlOn, anu the ueSTee oi lHleTeSt which the several classes of employees have in conservative and efficient man. agement of the railroads themselves.
