GILL OF ARIZONA
Good Story About Distinguished
Local Journalist.


Following is from the San Francisco
Newsletter:
Mr.. Edwin S. Gill, the editor of the
Honolulu Republican and the man who
recently shot his fellow journalist,
Stevens is a poorer ffnancier than he is
a markSman. During his residence in
Arizona some years ago, Mr.. Gill's chief
occupation was that of speech writer
for the illiterate legislators who pur-
chased their way into the law-making
body of that Territory. His busine$s
was prosperous. He made money like
a Hebrew, but he spent it like a prodi-
gal. Gill was ambitious, and the one
rich Senator whom he had tried in vain
to get on his string, irritated him more
than all the others At length he de-
termined upon a banquet as the best
way of winning over the new customer.
The best hotel in Phoenix was hired,
! fifty Senatorial guests were invited, and
Watson, the pernicious skinfiint, was to
be given the chair of honor. The day
before the banquet the manager of the
hotel appeared at GIFTS office and re-
quested advance payment. Gill fished
through his pockets and came out with
a quarter.
II need that" he remarked, "I'n give
you my note.
Thank YOU" responded the manag-
er. Il SUPPOSE it's good Everybody 5
got 'em, but just at present I need
three hundred dollars"
wait here a minute, please, said
Gill, and he started on the trail of Wat
son, the guest of honor.
Look here" he began, when he had
found his man, tomorrow night you
are to be my guest of honor. You've
got to make the speech of your life. II
you fall down. it's all off with you; il
you catch on I'll talk you up for Gov
ernor this fall
4 Watson's eyes opened and he reached
for the lapel of Gills coat.
IT amt good at that sort of thing
4 he whispered. Can't you do something
for me?" He ratified his money signifi-
cantly.

a touch of tragic purpose to strength

RETAIL LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Efforts to Restrain Ii i'm England and
the United States.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
Your excellent London correspondent
tells us what trouble our English cousins
are having with the saloon problem. To
fully appreciate the situation one must re-
member that they, our cousins, are just
about fifty years behind us in the temper
ance work. Fifty years ago, when practic-
ally all our churches were total abstain
ers, everybody. from the Bishop OF Canter-
bury to the circuit riders, drank freely,
and even at the late Ecumenical Methodist
Council some British Methodists offered
wine to their guests. But, Notwithstanding
these remnants of former generations. the
saloon is recognized as an evil. and your
correspondent tells us how the latest device
TO diminish these evils is a failure. 1t looks
plausible enough, but it does not work
worth a cent so far as ameliorating evils
is concerned. In a nutshell. it proposes a
benevolent association which is to keep
saloons Of a high grade, and after setting
aside 10 per cent. Of the profits for interest
and repairs, TO distribute the balance Of
the profits to beneVOlence. We beat that.
We secure our dividend in advance and let
the saloonist take what is left. We call
cur scheme a license fee, but 1t all goes to
benevolence, as il were. But the result is
the same there and here-crime and misery
are not diminished by the responsibility OF
these higher-toned saloons.
In London, as in Indianapolis. there are
restrictive laws which. if enforced, would
reduce the evils of the saloon to a probable
minimum, but in London. as in ~Indianapo-
lis. they are enforced only spasmodically,
and then only against the defenseless class,
while III London, as in Indianapolis. the
well-tO-dO go scot free. / have faith to be
lieve that the present city. county and
State authorities, except the grand jury,
ere doing and will do all they can 10 en-
force the restrictions Of the present laws,
and future grand juries will be less likely
10 ignore plain cases of lawbreaking.
whether they relate to liquor selling or
larceny. a grand jury or a grand juror
who would deliberately ignore a plain case
OF larceny would soon find his level in
social as we'll as in political life.
The substantial remedy against the Sa-
loon evil is not in the stringency Of the
law, but in the enforcement of the law,
and the enforcement of any law is inevita-
bly, affected by the public opinion behind
II. In the State OF Maine. while the pro-
hibit6ry law is as well enforced to-day. and
always has been, as any other restrictive
or pronibitory law. yet from the first there
are localities I'm which il never has been
enforced and probably never can be. be-
cause a majority Of the people do not want

TRUE ~ECIPROCIT

The men who have expected TO see the
Republican party go to pieces over differ
ences of opinion regarding reciprocity seem
to be doomed to disappointment. The party
in Congress, while its individuals may
have differences Of opinion as to what
should be done, seems to be convinced that
steps must be taken to carry out the ideas
last expressed By the lamented Mckinley.
The Senate may not ratify the Kasson
treaties as they stand. but the Republicans
in that body will see that any American
industry which is well established is not
sacrificed.
A new Interpretation of reciprocity is
that it means a free exchange of the
products of two countries. That is the
free trade idea, but true reciprocity is not
free trade. When the last Democratic
Congress undertook to pass a revenue tariff
on the basis of free trade, the reciprocal
agreements which the Harrison admins
tration had made with Germany. France,
Brazil, Cuba through Spain, and other
countries were swept away without the
courtesy to these governments of a formal
nOIlCe OF dDTOSdtlOn. InlS was OOne De-
cause reciprocity is an extension of the
protection principle. Where there is any
thing like free trade, reciprocity treaties
are not thought of because they are not
necessary. No one has ever suggested
reciprocity with Great Britain other than
for her provinces like Canada, which has a
protective tariff.
When 4 reciprocal treaty is made II must
be negotiated upon the theory that the
United States shall get a full equivalent for
whatever favors it extends to the other
party to the contract. Canada, which
cannot negotiate a reciprocal treaty of it
self, asks that Great Britain shall insist
upon an agreement by which the United
States will give much and receive nothing
in return, since England will not relin-
quish the % per cent. advantage which
British products entering Canada have over
ours. On the other hand, we have a few
artificial industries which we can afford TO
trade with countries in which such in
dustries are natural. That is true recipro-
city.

THE r. AMERICAN POWERS.

Hon. Charles p. Bryan, of Illinois, who Is
now home on leave OF absence, says that
Brazil is entirely friendly to the United
States. and that the better class of her peo-
pie hope to see closer relations between the
two countries. Brazil is a large buyer or
American products, including -four, mining
machinery, furniture, hats, shoes. china,
etc, and in return the United States is the
great market for Brazilian coffee. The
steady friendship and growing trade rela-
tons between the two countries is a good
assurance for the maintenance of peace
among the American states. Brazil oc-
cupies substantially the same relation TO
the southern part Of the continent that the
United States does in the northern, one be-
ing the great republic Of the north and the
other of the south. IT is calculated to give
one Al enlarged idea of the extent OF the
southern part of the continent TO hear from
Mr.. Bryan that 1--WE. I'm Brazil, know moth
ing about the trouble between Venezuela
and Colombia, those countries are so far
away from US" 1t may surprise many per-
sons TO learn that Brazil is almost as large

total area being 3,2O9,S SIS square miles,
against our 3.616, asa, including Alaska and
the Indian Territory. Yet Brazil has a
population OF only about 100000. against
our 76,0S7,3 57. With her vast resources and
present sparse population it is evident that
Brazil has a great future. Her government
is modelled closely after that of the United
States and is stable, liberal and progress
sive. Referring to the Pan-American Con-
ference now sitting at Mexico City, Mr..
Bryan says:
The aim of Brazil is to cooperate with
the United States in the promotion or peace
throughout the western hemisphere, me
appropriation of Brazil, $l5OOO. was the
largest offered by any country party TO the
conference. The commissioners which
Brazil has accredited 10 the conference are
able and prominent men. Brazil, l think,
gave evidence of its sincerity by efforts to
do all in it's power TO further the objects
of the meeting.
European papers have tried TO defeat the
| object of the conference by representing it
as a scheme of the United States to extend
it's domination in American affairs. A sufi-
cient reply to this Misrepresentation is that
the Tree great republics of America, and
by far the three greatest powers repre-
scented at the conference.-the United States,
Mexico and Brazil-are entirely friendly
and in perfect harmony in their govern
mental policies. AS long as the three great
American republics continue to understand
one another and cooperate for the peace
and welfare OF all American states. with
out distrust or jealousy of the others on
the part of either, it matters little what
construction the European press puts upon
their acts and motives.

Beware of Subsidy Bills.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
TIL full to overlooking treasury will offer
both excuse and temptation for Congress to
indulge in lavish expenditure. of public
money this winter, and greatly stimulate
those who have cherished designs for en-
riching themselves at the expense of the
taxpayers. 1t is the one danger that lies in
the path of the great party that now con-
trolls the government. That party has the
full confidence of the people and stands as
near right on the great economic questions
or the day as the wisdom OF man can de-
wise. But its splendid career Will surely be
arrested II such a measure as the snip
subsidy bill shall be got through Congress
at the approaching session. All the argu-
ments in favor of this most questionable
proceeding were presented in the debate
last winter before the Senate, and the re-
Middle West stronger than ever in opposi-
ton to this proposed raid on the treasury
under the guiSe of increasing our merchant
marine. A desire to gain an opening to the
national treasury is the ruling spirit of the
gentlemen behind this scheme rather than
ocean-carrying trade. a more bold attack
was never made upon the treasury since
the organization of the government, and
the Republican party could do nothing in
Congress so much calculated to relegate
itself TO the rear as TO become responsible
do is to reduce taXation-lighten the burden
Of the people-and not follow necessary war
expenditures with ineXcusable peace eX-
t~ravagance. 1t is a wise thing to contract
the sail a little in a too prosperous gale. If
the government will attend strictly to it's
own business the people will do the rest.

these localities is to educate the people 10

and lets these escape. To add TO the diff

Our whole political and social system is
based on the right CT every man. ire
spective Of nationality or color, to work
for a living. and for white men, simply
because they are a majority, to attempt
to draw the lire against negroes is un-
speakably cowardly and mean. To say that
white men and colored men cannot work
together tremendously is absurd. The
trouble is not with races but with indi-
viduals. There are vicious and quarrel
some white men as we'll as vicious and
quarrelsome black men. and when they
come together there will be trouble; but
the thing to do is to weed out the bad men.
A white man who is not willing to give an
honest negro a white mans chance to earn
a living is too mean to be an American
citizen.
The question in all it's phases is one that
will settle itself. 1t may take a long time,
but it will do so. Already it has made
great progress towards settlement. Forty
years ago there was not a colored police
man or fireman in the United States; now

tai clerks. colored letter carriers and col
ored men in every branch of the public
service. They mind their business and
there is no friction between the races.
Since the abolition OF slavery as great
progress has been made on this question
in the South as in the North, and the
progress is steady from year to year. The
question will solve itself by the survival
of the fttest in the triumph of reason. JUS
tice and common sense over unreasoning
prejudice. A hundred years hence intelli-
gent people in the South will wonder that
their ancestors could ever have made such
a foolish hullaballoo over a white Presi-
dent entertaining a colored citizen, and
many white men will be found working for
colored employers side by side with other
colored men as peaceably as if the condition
had always existed.
