EDITORIAL NOTES

A resolution has been introduced in 1 the Texas legislature censuring Gen eral Funston for capturing Aguinaldo. | Cleveland, Ohio, will furnish free quarters to as many as 5000 veterans who will attend the G. A. R, encamp- ment in September. Colonel J. S. Mosby has joined the ranks of the literary boomers of Dixie, and he's whooping it up lively. President Mckinley has announced that he will make no rear platform speeches during his coming trip to the Pacific coast. The new cup defender has been named the Constitution. The name indicates that it will be a sure winner.
 With nearly double half column of display head lines the Phenix En- terprise tells that Governor Murphy intends to resign and that J. c. Adams will shortly be appointed gov ernor and I. T. Stoddard is slated to supercede Secretary Akers.
 ABloemfonteinc correspondent writes that the Boers have tried for treason and executed Mr. De Rock, the peace envoy who took the message from Gen. Smith -Dorrien to Commandant- General Louis Boths, February 12.
 The kind treatment accorded Aguin- aldo has caused him to change his mind about the people of the United States, and he has expressed a desire to visit this country. He probably wants to see what kind of looking peo- pie Edward Atkinson and bis follow CTS are.
 Count Boni de Castellaine is so angry at Americans that he has for bidden his wife to invite any Ameri- cans to her functions in Paris. The degree of anger entertained by Boni is no greater than the contempt in which Americans generally hold him.
 The Albuquerque Citizen thinks Carrie Nation might find a summers work in Yavapai county with its nu- merous saloons and wholesale liquor establishments. There are plenty of them nearer home, though, for her to operate on.
 The code passed by the recent legis- iature is said to need fixing already.
 Republicans made clean sweep in Denver, Colorado, at the election held there last Tuesday, April 2. They elected mayor by HOO plurality and the balance of their ticket by 5000. Republicans also carried Leadville, while Pueblo, Cripple Creek and Vic tor went democratic.
 General Funston captured Agui- naldo and the latter has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States and has promised in it not to aid or abet the enemies of this country. If an expedition could now be sent to bring Bryan, Pettigrew, Atkinson and those Boston traitors in and get them to take an oath not to aid or abet the enemies of their country, the problem of settlement of the Philippine question would be easy of solution.
 The Phenix Enterprise is the only paper received at this office which speaks lightly or disparagingly of Gen. Funston's capture of Aguinaldo. It says that General Funston simply did his duty and the matter should end there. Admiral Dewey simply did his duty in sinking the Spanish fleet, but in the performance of duty he ac- complished the greatest naval feat ever recorded in history. The de- struction of the Spanish; fleet in San tiago bay was performed as a matter of duty, yet the results elicited the admiration of the world. The plan ming of and successful execution of the plans to capture Aguinaldo was one of the most hazardous as we'll as one of the most thrilling achievements of the army since the commencement of the Spanish-American war. Tn yet it was accomplished without the loss of single man. It was volun- tary act of Gen. Funston originated by him and carried out to a success ful culmination.
 Japan has her bristles up at Russia.
 The announcement in a contempo- rary that the new printing law which permits parties having legal notices to publish to designate the paper in which they shall be published, does not go into effect until September, is an error. The law is in force and in effect now.
 A contemporary of Phenix critises the government for sending some 'lungers" out as forest rangers on the San Francisco Mountain reserve. Phenix always was sort of jealous of Flagstaff. If those lungers instead of going to Flagstaff to ride the range had gone to Phenix and stood on the curbstone and expectorated their lungs into the street, there would have been no fault found.
 H. J. Allen may we'll pray, Good Lord deliver me from my fool friends" The Phenix Enterprise and Jerome Reporter both seem to think that Mir. Aliens reputation is in dan ger, and are offering all kinds ofapolo- gies and explanations for his action in connection with the late legislature. In doing so they make all manner of contradictions, which places the gen tleman in worse light than any newspaper criticism that has been made of bir,, I7,-o,,, o 4olo,, III ..
