CARRYING PISTOLS.

SAYS the Galveston NetcS: "There
is only one way to reform the man
who makes u habit of carrying a
pistol, and that is to put him on
the county road. Fines do no
good, for the rich man can carry a
gun and not feel the effect Of the
punishment, while the poor man
can be made to feel it. When the
pistol carrier is made to put q hoe
on his shoulder and march out
with the tramps and other convicts
TO the public roads and there in
the eyes of the people, forced to
work as violator of the law, he
will curse the day he ever saw that
weapon"
The NeloS treats the subject in
its proper light. In civilized com
munities the habit Of carrying pis-
tolls is entirely unnecessary and if
the means recommended above
were adopted it would not be long
until the habit would fall into
disuse.

A number ofthe territorial news
papers are endeavoring to uphold
the polltax law on the ground that
it benefits the schools. We do not
believe the present law will in
crease the revenue of the schools
and it furnishes avenues for all
manner of corruption in politics.
The present law only requires the
payment Of the tax every two
years as a voting qualification.
Those in a position to make con-
servative estimate believe that at
least $4,000 less will be paid as a
poll tax in Graham county this
year than last. We believe the
poll tax should be paid. 1t is
necessary for the support of the
schools but the present law should
be repealed and one enacted that
will compel its payment every year;
then let the tax collector do his
duty and the schools will receive a
benefit.

SPEAKING of the disease in Utah,
the same as that in Thatcher,
which is now supposed to be en-
tirely checked, the DeSeret NeDS,
Salt Lake City, says:
"The prevalent disorder over
which the doctors are disagreeing,
some calling it smallpox and others
by different names, is spreading in
many parts of the country, but the
faculty and the press with all their
disputes are not silly enough to
attribute it to the DeSeret Ne,oS and
its compulsory surgical treatment.
In this city there is more sickness
from that treatment than from the
disputed disorder"

WHO LIED9

Some one was saying not long
ago that there was no war in the
Philippines. Was it Mr.. McKin-
ley, or General Otis or Secretary
Root? AT any rate the Taft COM
mission before election cabled over
that if Bryan was clicked" "the
remnant of insurrection will disap-
pear within sixty days, by sur
render of leaders and fading out of
rank and file" The sixty days
are nearly up, yet General Mac
Arthur issued in the Philippine
Islands a proclamation that had no
more color of peace in it than the
fresh Boer invasion of Cape Colony
foreshadows the speedy end of the
South African war. General Mac
Arthur, please observe, now warns
the Fiipinos that thereafter strict
compliance with the laws of war
will be required of non-combatants
as well as combatants." Laws of
war! Then there is war in the
Philippines by admission of Gener-
al Macarthur. If there is not,
what right has he TO make non
combatants conform to wars rules?
And this comes almost at the end
of the sixty days period which
was to mark the utter disappear,
ance of the insurrection! Never
was the mendacity and hypocrisy
of a government more quickly con-
fessed than in this instance. Sen
eral MacArthur's proclamation, as
q whole, indicates that our Philip
pine conquest is about to enter up
on a period of harshness and bru-
tality which will rival the Brit,
ish atrocities in South Africa. The
election is being accepted at Wash
ington as a mandate to conquer the
Filipinos at any cost. The remark
Of an Englishman becomes timely:
"Already England in the Trans
vaal, and America in the Philip
pines, have caught up with at least
two thirds of the atrocities of the
Spanish policy of coercion, and
why should they not complete the
courso?" Springfield (Mass.) Re,

THE Bulletin admits in its last
issue that its great solicitude about
county division is because it is
fearful that when county division
occurs Solomonville will cease to
10 be the county seat. If it were
assured that the county seat would
remain where it is the Bulletin
would be in favor of county di-
vision or any other old thing.
The GUARDIAN is not advocating
division, but if the majoity of the
people want it we have no objec-
tion. Bro. Kelly evidently i'm
agines that county division is the
only thing that will remove the
county seat. In this he is mis-
taken. In very short time SAT-
ford will again be the county seat

er. A freight bin was introduced
last session, but the representatives
from Graham county, especially
those from the Gila valley, were
not in favor it it as it placed them
in competition with Salt River val
ley and would tend to reduce the
price of their products. Graham
county farmers have the best mar
kets in the territory for their pro

THE RETURNING HERO.

A fog is reported as interfering
somewhat with the brilliancy of
Lord Roberts reception at South
ampton. 1t is noted also that the
popular enthusiasm in London was
not so great as on the return ofthe
volunteers, though large mill
tary guard was present to retain
the exuberant manifestations that
disgraced London on the occasion,
says the Philadelphia Times.
A worse fog than that so familiar
in England hangs over the scene
of Lord Roberts victorious career
in South Africa, from which he is
returning to receive the popular
acclaim. 1t is a fog SO. dense as
quite to obscure the reasons for
rejoicing. Such information as
reaches London is of the most dis
quieting kind. 1t gives the i'm
preston that Roberts victory over
the Beers was a fruitless one and
that the British conquest of South
Africa is yet to be achieved.
This is not Roberts fault. He
did what he was sent to do ex-
peditiously and well. 1t was the
undertaking itself that was at fault.
A general can defeat an army in
battle, but to subjugate brave
people who ar determined to be
free is beyond his power or the
power Of such narrow statesman

don and Washington.

We note that in several counties
ofiicers-elect are furnishing bonds
with fidelity companies as sureties.
1t is a change from the prevalent
custom of securing bondsmen from
among the friends of the official
which has many advantages. The
official himself is relieved from
any obligation he might feel to
private sureties, and the well-to-do
citizen is released from q respon-
sibility who ofttimes assumes very
reluctantly. Fidelity companies
are moreover, safer sureties, as it
is we'll known fact that bonds
given with citizens as surities are
often insufficient, and in a part un-
collectable were it necessary to
apply the test. The reform is one
which we hope to see generally

men contending for $50 per scalp,
but District Attorney Jones ad-
vised the board not to pay that
much and then the scalp men
agreed to a compromise of SO per
scalp, which amount they have
been receiving ever since. We un-
derstand, however, that persons
who had purchased scalps, went
before the board last week and
convinced that body that they
should have $50 per scalp and
it was paid. This is matter for

BEHEADED BY TRAIN.

The decapitated remains of an I'M
known white man were found Friday
on the railroad tracks near Langley
S. c., and there is suspicion of foul
play. The head was completely sew
cred from the body by the car wheels
but the suspicion at foul play grows
out of the fact that there is a deep
and fatal injury in the neck, below the
point of decapitation. A large number
of those who have viewed the remains
declare it was not made by the car
wheels. This wound, which may or may
not have been made by the train that
severed the head from the body, has
given rise to the theory and even be-
lief that he was first killed by some
one and afterward placed upon the
railroad track to cover the crime.
Twenty cents in money and a deck of
cards were found in the dead mans
pockets, but nothing by which he
could be identified, nor letters. linen
marks nor even a scrap of paper, sug-
costing who he was or where he came
from, was found on his person. He Is
a young man, between 25 and % years
of age. Nothing is known of him in
Langley, not even his name, although
he has been about the town for several
days.

WOULD NOT sTANp TRIAL.

Charleston Post Sally Chevis. col
ored, has adopted a new method to
stay the hands of justice in the Po-
lice Court She was arrested Friday
night for being drunk and disorderly
in Philadelphia street, and was to have
been tried before the recorder Satur-
day morning, but she outwitted the
officers and her case is still open on
the public docket. After the woman
had been arrested and lodged in a
cell at the police station she swore she
would not be tried. declaring that she
would resort to method entirely new,
which would stay the hearing of her
case. This morning shortly before 3
o'clock the turnkey, in making the
rounds of the cells, to let the prison
ers into the court room discovered
Sally Chevis, the woman who declared
that she would not be tried, in state
of nudity. She was commanded to
dress but she refused, telling the Off
Ger that she did not propose to be
tried. Every effort was made by the
officers to have the woman dress, which
she would not do. The matter was
reported to the recorder. who contin-
ued the case.
