Official Paper of Gila County.

In registering our disapproyal of the disgrsceful incident which took place a week ago Wednesday night, we refrain ed from mentioning any names, hoping that the affair might not be noised abroad, and thereby work injury to the good name of Globe, but unfortunately, others have seen fit to give it publicity. Whatever may have been the provoca. tion, the act was wrong in principle; it can not consistently be upheld by any lswabiding citizen. It is not ap- proved by the conservative members of the miners union.

nnnecessary acts of cOngress.

A newspaper to be of real value to the community in which it is published must be independent and outspoken- not necessarily without political bias, but with high sense of honor that will insure respect for it's opinions. l, should view all matters touching the public welfare broadly, from the stand
 point of the greatest good to the great. est number, by which we do not mean that it should always acquiescs in the prevailing opinion-far from it. Ma jorities are very often wrong, and his tory is filled with instances where the minority has been persecuted for as- serting views contrary to the accepted opinion. There can be no liberty without freedom of discussion, and no one can be certain that his opinion is right until he has listened to every ar gument that can be brought against it. In no other country is the press as free from censorship, as it is in the United States. and there IS no country on the face of the earth where public opinion is so enlightened and tolerant.

It is surprising that the sdministra- tion should show so much concern to negotiate with Great Britain for the modification of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, when the abrogation of that treaty could be secured by giving Great Britain six months notice, which is by far the simplest way of relieving the situation. Despite Secretary Hay s effort in behalf of the treaty, It is req sonably certain that the votes of two thirds of the senate-which are neces- sary for the ratification of treaty. could never be obtained for any con vention that does not give the United states free swing in Nicaragua or on any other part of the isthmus where our government might choose to build @ canal. As construed by several mem bers of the senate, the Clayton Bulwer treaty prohibits the United States from acquiring any territory on the isthmus. nd would prevent the annexation of Nicaragua or Costa Rca or the state of Panama or any other part of Cen tral America if ever circumstances should make 1t advisable for Uncle Sam to extend his sovereignty in that direction. The members of the senate insist that this prohibition must be re. moved, and declare that no proposi- ton concerning the naturalization of the canal can ever be approved by the senate; that the popular idea was ex- pressed by Mir. Blaine when he said that if we build canal across the isth- mus it must be treated by us and by for ei gD nations as part of the coast line of the United States.

says the Boston Post. It was pretty clearly established at that time that the canteen was an influence for tenn perance and good conduct in the army, providing beer and light wines for the soldiers upon the military reservations and under the restraint of military reg ulations. and thus deterring the men from going on the outside for enter tainment. In the face of such evi- dence, the canteen was abolished at the demand of the extremists, and we are beginning to see the result.
 From the army posts throughout the country come reports of an increase in the number of saloons and of greater prevalence of drunkenness among the troops. This is natural and was ex- pected. Officers say that if the sol. diers would confne themselves to light drinks in these saloons the evil would not be so great, but, instead of drink ing light beers and wines, such as were sold in the post canteens, they drink cheap whiskey and other heavy liquors and are led into gambling games and other forms of vice which could not exist within the limits of military post.
 The abolition of the canteen was brought about by sentimental pressure. It was urged that the United States should not go into the business of liquor selling. And so the practical advantage of our soldiers was sacri. feed to an idea.

THE UNITED W0RKM EN.
Globe lodge Celebrates the Sixth Anniversary
 of Its Organization.

One of the most enjoyable enter | tainments that it has been our pleasure to attend for some time, was the so. cial given by Globe Lodge No l5, A. O. U. w., in the lodge room last Fri. day night, the occasion marking the sixth anniversary of the organization of the United Workmen in Globe. An invitation was extended to the ladies of Lily Lodge, D. of H., and the guests and members present numbered fully l50 persons.
 Messrs. Pat Rose, F. L. Gates, James Richards and Isaac Opie, the committee of arrangements, had provided ample entertainment in the way of musical pro, gramme. and refreshments for the innerman, and they were rewarded by the complete success of the affair. It is doubtful if there is another order in Globe which possesses so much musical talent as is found in the United Work. men lodge, and many of the mem bers contributed to the programme, ably assisted by the ladies. All did well, and if to any person special praise is due, it is to Mir. w. A. Clavis, whose singing captivated the audience.
 The Ancient Order of United Work men stands in the front rank of the beneficiary orders in the United States, and Globe Lodge is among the strong est Workmen lodges in Arizona, hay ing grown rapidly during the past two years, it's membership now being up- wards of one hundred.
 Mir. Wm. Gravelle presided and made the announcements of the pro- gramme, which was as follows:

The controversy over electrocution- whether it is or Is not more merciful death than hanging has recently broken out again with something of its former intensity. The Electrical Re- view has expressed the opinion that electrocution Is ''inhuman torture, !" and it calls for commission of experts to examine the subject. As the na- tional government is very much in the commission business and has occasion now and then 10 kill a wicked citizen, the Reviews suggestion might meet with favor If presented to congress At any rate, such commission would scarcely be more costly and less profit able than some commissions which have been created by unaskedfor and unnecessary acts of congress.

The Attorney General Refuses to Render mn Opinion on Certain
 Porto Rican Duties.

Washington, July 23.=Attorney- General Knox has declined to render an opinion, which was asked for by the secretary of the treasury, on the question whether or not, under exist ing laws. the secretary is authorized to refund the duties collected OH goods imported from Porto Rico be- tween the date of the ratification of the Spanish treaty and the date that the Foraker act went into operation. The attorney general says that inas- much as the comptroller of the treas ury has given his decision on inc sub ject it is matter for him fthe comp troller4 alone, and he therefore can not give decision as requested.
 It is authoritatively stated at the treasury department that the govern ment will proceed immediately to re- fund these duties, acting upon the decision of the comptroller of the treasury, which was to the effect that the treasury department had authori- ty under existing law. The duties amount approximately to s2,000,00O.
