A vast amount of valuable time
is being consumed in congress in
the discussion of the bill to protect
the president. In view of the
prompt action of the authorities of
New York state in convicting and
electrocuting the assassin of Nc
kinley, and the further fact that
the laws of the several states nearly
all provide the death penalty, it
would seem that no further legisla-
ton is necessary.

Methodism Rebuked.

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-The Record Herald
says:
Professor Charles w. Pearson of the
chair of English literature in the North
western university, which is conducted
under Methodist auspices, has thrown a
bomb into the ranks of Methodism in Ev-
anston, the seat of the university, by Civ
ing out for publication a statement of
his belief that biblical infallibility is a
superstitOus and hurtful tradition and
that the biblical stories of Christ bring
ing the dead to life and of his walking
on the water and feeding the multitude
with the loaves and fishes were mere
poetic fancies, incredible and untrue.
Professor Pearson declares that the pol
icy of the Methodists is one of inactiv-
ity, obstruction and Jesuitical silence on
the part of leaders of the churches. but
are not held by the body of the church.
He says that most of the present church
teaching and that most of the Sunday
school teaching is almost farcical and en-
tirely inadequate.

GENERAL CHAFFEE REPORTS
MILITARY VIEW OF AFFAIRS
In Several Places He Says Queirillsa
Warfare Continues haracter of the
Country and Nature of Insurge nts Are
Hard to Overcome-They Pose as Our
Friends and Act as EneIni. :.

Manila.-General Chaffee, in the an
nual report which has just been issued,
sums up the situation from the mill
tary point of view by saying that the
provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in
southern Luzon, and the islands OF
Samar, Mindoro and Cebu, constitute
the disturbed area in which bodies of
insurgents in force are to be found.
General Chaffee says the prolOnga-
ton of guerilla warfare is due to the
physical character of the country and
to the nature of the warfare carried on
by the insurgents, who in the same
hour pose as friends and act as enc
mics; to the humanity displayed by
the American troops, of which the in
surgents take advantage, and to the
fear of assassination on the part OF
those natives who are friendly disposed
toward the Americans, should they give
the latter information concerning the
movements or whereabouts of the in
surgents.
Municipal and provisional govern
ments are being organized. These
governments have not yet received a
practical trial. They constitute the
only certain and reliable methods OF
assuring the progress of the Filipinos
towards self government.
According to the opinion of army Of
ficers the disaster to Company of the
Ninth Infantry at Batangas, Samar,
when 4S men were killed, is attributed
to the too great confidence of these men
in the natives, which they assumed to
be pacified.
In the same report Judge Advocate
Groebeck says the suppression OF
brigandage will probably be one of the
most trying problems of the future
II the military arm be left free to deal
with the maraudeTs there is no doubt
of their final suppression. But the
presence of the civil government com
plicates the situation considerably.
With the civil and military authorities
working in harmony, says Judge Groe-
beck, no evil results should be antici
pated.

Dec, the discoverer. the fields cover an

Dec brought in a large number of the
stones, which he found on a hunting trip,
on the side of ant hills Some of the
stones that were examined and thorough
ly tested by mineralogist located at

sapphires of an excellent quality, similar
to the white sapphires found in the Congo
district, which are now shipped to Lon

York rendered an opinion to the effect
that the stones were diamonds There
is no confederation of this and the gen
eral impression is that the discovery is a

between Mile river and Lethbridge has

The fire extended to the valuable sheep
range in the Sweet Grass hills, and own

fronted by the serious necessity of secur-
ing new winter range. There has been no
snow in that section for nearly three
months and the grass burned very rapidly.

Veterans Get Preference.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The following
executive order has been issued directed
to each executive department:
"The attention of the department is
hereby called to the provisions of the
laws giving preference to veterans in ap,

THE president desires that, wherever
the needs of the service will justify and
the law will permit, preference shall be
given alike in appointment and retention
to honOrably discharged veterans of the
civil war who are fit and well qualified
to perform the duties of the places which
they seek and are filling.

Eleven of the most desperate pris-

escape between 1 and o'clock Sun

it doubtful whether they will be re-

During the quarter ending September 30th Con Cronin re- ceived, by way of salary, S312. 50. During the same period of time the county provided him with a deputy at an expense of S120, making total of S432. 50 paid by the taxpayers for work done in the recorders office. During this same time the money turned into the county treasury by the recorder amounted to only S263. 40, leaving a net loss to the taxpayers of S169.10. A DOT ton of this same time Cronin was enjoying the sea breezes at Coronado Beach, Cal, and per, forming none of his official du- ties. Yet at the same time be filed his demand and received his full salary without any reduction for the time spent in his vaca- tion. If the taxpayers are in favor of extending long vaca- tions to their officials on full pay they should vote for Cronln.
The Arizona sentinel., 1902-10-29

If the people want good gov
 ernment they must perform the
 duties devolving upon them as
 citizens, and especially is this
 true in municipal affairs. By the
 neglect and indifference of
 voters incompetent men are
 placed in positions of trust and
 responsibility, and the result is
 waste and eXtravagance-a
 squandering of the peoples
 money. And this squandering of money exacted from the tax payers is not necessarily through dishonest methods, but because those who have been entrusted with its expenditure have no comprehension nor understand ing of the duties they unfortu- nately have been called upon to perform. For the miSmanage- ment of city and county affairs the people are wholly to blame, for they have the power in their hands to place whom they please in charge of public business.
 Every thinking person knows that the administration of Yuma county has been the reverse of good. The democrats have had control for the past six years; and notwithstanding that party two years ago promised an eco nomical administration of public affairs, in no particular has that promise been kept. Today the county is over S1O0,OOO in debt, and what is there to show for it? Nothing whatever No public buildings have been erected, and no roads have been made. In fact the county is practically road of any descrip- tion. By the neglect or incom- potency of the officials the growth of the county in popula- tion and wealth has been slow indeed. To attract capitalists for the development of the resources of a place there must first be developed a spirit of progress and the administra- tion of public affairs placed in the hands of business men, and not in those who know but little else than partisan politics.
 Since the democrats have had control of the county the tax rate has increased from 2.30I to 5.30; and during the past

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

The eight hour law was never before an issue in this territory. Sun.
 It undoubtedly was never an issue in the democratic platform, but the eight hour bill was passed by the lower house of the last territorial legislature and killed in the council by the vote of Senator Ives. If that question was not an issue what was it? It may be we'll to remind the Sun that democrats rarely take the initiative in measures for beneftting the workingmen, and the present plank in the demo- cratic platform advocating the passage of an eight hour law was put there as a political ex- pedient-to catch votes. At no time during the long political history of the democratic party can the editor of the Sun point out a single instance where the leaders of the democratic party ever advocated a measure ame- liorating the condition of the common people. Now don't speak of the '76 campaign, for that platform has been repu- diated.
