HERALD CHANGES HANDS.

With this issue THE HERALI goes into the hands of new management, we having Thurs. day last purchased all the print ing material, office fixtures, book accounts and good will of this paper from Messrs. Patterson and Lesueur.
 We shall not weary our read CTS by telling them what we are going to do. We ask you to watch the progress of our move ments and see that we keep in the straight paths of rectitude, and if we should at any time err we hope that our friends and patrons will look upon us as only human and forgive our short comings.
 In politics we shall start out independent, and thus no politi- cal party will owe us anything or we owe them an ything. When we learn how the politics of this county is conducted we will then determine which is the most re- spectable party, locally speaking. AS to national politics, ye editor is a democrat of the William Jennings Bryan stripe. In re- iigous matters we are unbiased, and 1t shall be our aim to treat everybody as we are willing to be treated by everybody.
 Boys of the craft, if you will give us but few weeks time to primp-up' the uncomely typo graphical appearance of THE HER. AID, we will show you one of the best country papers in the mountains.
 The form of THE HERALD will remain the same for some time, but we intend, with the first of the new year to change it to a more modern form.
 To the patrons of this paper, here's our thanks for present support and our promise to en- deavor to merit its continuance. Hoping that our business re- lations may be long and pleasant, we don the editoral mantle with malice toward none and friend ship and good will for all.

THE Emperor of Germany would do we'll to read the portion of Senator Ledge's recent speech that deals with the Monroe doc Urine before trying to complete the deal to secure by a trick a German coaling station in the Caribbean Sea. We can and do smile when we read the Emperor's talk about the formation of European trade and combinations against us, but placing a German coaling station on this continent is not laughing matter.

THE Schley court is busy reviewing the testimony taken during the two months of the herring. Speaking of the mat ter, Admiral Dewey said: "A good deal of time will be requir- ed to reach a conclusion. The court will make his own abstract of the testimony. We do not propose to take the conclusions teached by ony one. During a trial which has lasted eight weeks there has naturally ac- cumulated a great deal of matter, and the court proposes to seperate the wheat from the chaff."

In yielding up the stylus of the HERALD it is in accordance with a time honored custom for the retiring editor to cast a few bouquets at the new editor aud otherwise doff the editorial cloak.
 The few months that the un- dersigned has been engaged in chronicaling the events of these parts, have been months mingled with pleasure and worry. Being somewhat embryonic as to our newspaper ability and experience, we feel especially greatful to the members of the Territorial press for passing by our shortcomings and treating us with due cour- tesies ali thru our trials.
 To the patrons of the paper, we are especially greatful. Your patronage has been liberal and willingly extended. You have been reasonably prompt iu the payment of subscription and other bills. You have been spar ing in your censure when our views have differed. In every way you have been considerate and kind, for which we thank you.
 At the request of Mir. Hayden, l have consented to retain the business portfolio of the paper until he is familiar with the con. ditions in the field, and I shall eudeavor to merit a continuance

 Ot the man who now owns and controls the paper we wish to say, that he has had years of ex- perience in every branch of the printing business, and we feel sure he will show you an inn proved paper from the very start, and we are certain that the people of the county will show their appreciation of his good work in a substantial way.

A SANTA IF WRECK.
East and WestbouBd Pliers Collide
 Near Colorado River.

Los Angles, Cal, Nov. 20.-
 Two limited trains on the Santa
 Fe collided a few miles east oi Needles this morning causing at least two fatalities. The trains were Nos. , and 4. The west bound limited was two hours late, making up time between Albuquerque and Needles. The crew on the east bound limited, for reasons yet unknown, dis regarded orders by five or six minutes, and two miles east of Franconia, the trains crashed in- to each other without warning. All the passengers were in their berths. Both trains carried only Pullman cars for equipments. Five cars were burned. The engines of both trains were
 
 smashed beyond repairs. The fault attaches to the crew of train No. 3, according to the statement given out at Santa Fe headquarters here.
 Dead-P. McElligott, engineer train No. 4; w. l.. Case, fireman, No. 4.
 Missing-H. F. Goldsmith, fireman No. 4; W. L. Arruitage, fireman No. 3.
 Injured-L. Holmes, enjineer, No. 4, dangerously; J. R. Williams, engineer, No. 3, seriously; K. R. Higgins, con- ductor, No. 3, badly brused, in- formally injured; J. L. Morse, conductor, No. 4, bad scalp wound, burned on head and face.
 Reports of the killed and hurt are conflicting, but that several were killed and many badly hurt is known. To add horror to the accident, the wreck caught fire and two cares burned, but with what furthur loss of life is not known. One car was cut loose from the burning train and was run over the Colorado river bridge at high rate of speed, the hand brakes not being in working order.
 Later reports from the scene of the wreck give the number of injured at s. Two dining cars were burned and three walters are known to be dead and nine are missing.
 No. } received its orders at Kingman, and No. 4 at Needles, California. Where the responsi- bility of the disaster lies has not been ascertained. Doctors and the corner left Kingman for the wreck on an engine as soon as the news was received.

 precedent and custom, the presi.
 dent of the United State has
 proclaimed Thursday, Noy. 28,
 1901, a day of thanksgiving and
 praise. 'S
 While our country mourns for
 the great American. the foremost
 citizen of the world, who by
 divine decree, which we must not
 question, has been taken from us.
 we submit hurnbly to the will of
 God and rejoice in his love.
 Whom the Lord loveth He chas-
 teneth." A1tho we may not
 understand the inscrutab1e ways
 ot providence, we are taught to
 believe and feel that the nation and the people of the world since the first great crucifiction are made bettar and stronger by such sacrifices, and that we have all been brought nearer to God with a clearer knwoledge of our respon- abilities and a quickened ability to preform the duties required of Us, public and private. It is our duty to accept with contrite spirits the awful leson, severe and uncal1ed for as it seems to us, and prophet by its teachings.
 We should rejo1ce and be happy that the republic, resting upon the imperishable principles of the constitution, is unshaken; and that he to whose keeping more than all others is now in- trusted the nation's honor is worthy and we'll qualified" with splendid courage and liability to direct the affairs of this, tke greatest of the governments of men. We should rejoice and give thanks for the grand achievements which have elevat- ed our nation to the first place and won for it the respect ard admiration of mankind. We should praise God that our 1egis- lators are aroused to the necessity of destroying anarchy and better protecting the highest liberties of the people. We should render joyful praise and grateful ack- now1edgements to the Giver of all good for unexampled national and territorial prosperity, for boutiful harvests the great pro- duction of precious metals from our mines, for profitable grazing, the rapid development of our natural resources, the remarkable growth of all com mercial interests throughout the ard the devine grace and favor which enable our citizens to peacefully persue their different vacations in health and happiness.
 l therefore recomment and re- quest the people of Arizona to! business and observe the day appointed in their homes and churches with appropriate services of thankful praise for the bless lngs we have received and prayers for the continued care and saving guidance of the alwise God-the Supreme Ruler of the universe, In whose hands the destines of nations and of men are as grains of Sc nd.
 I1 witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed at Phoenix, the capitol, this the eleventh day of Novem- Der, in the year of our Lord nine teen hundred and one.
