INFORMATION WANTED.

One of the morning organs of the
Republican party seems to have a
grievance against the Drachmans.
What's the matter with the Drach-
mans? There is only one of them run
ming for office and he was nominated
by the Oldest political party in Amer
ica by acclamation. He is one of the
most popular men in the community.
He is an honest man and has never
failed to come UP fully to his duty as a
citizen.
| What's the matter with the Drach-
mans? Why do the Republicans want
to assail them? Harry Drachman, the
Democratic candidate for supervise,
was the first Caucasian child born in
Tucson. Is that a crime? Who can
make reasonable complaint against
Harry Drachman as man, friend,
citizen?
! Many of, the people of this town
remember Phil Drachman, Harry's
father Was there ever better man?
Who was more loyal to every duty?
Who more reliable friend? Aren' t
there men still living in this commun-
ity who can remember when Phil
Drachman saddled his mule and rode
j to Prescott as a member of the legis-
lature to defend Pima county from as
soult? And hasn't Harry Drachman
ever been up to the highest standard
of public spirit, it,-hasn't the spirit of
his fine and we'll beloved old father
ever dwelt in him?
The mother of Harry Drachman
sailed from New York around the
Horn to San Francisco From San
Francisco she sailed to San Diego, and
! from San Diego she came on a stage
| to Tucson. Here she gave birth to
ten children-all honest men and wo-
men. Harry Drachman was the first
white child born in Tucson He has
been here all his life. All the people
! of this community know him. What
can be said against him? Who has a
better record? Who better entitled to
the confidence of his fellow citizens?
Again We ask, what's the matter
with the Drachman's?

will now roll along on easy casters.
Society will be spared the spectacle OF
barbarism in public places. The
wretched woman lies mutilated, per-
haps dying IN her shabby shack The
famine-stricl1en children huddle in
their noisome rags. The devil who
wrought all this unspeakable and

days of barbarism here, good ladies
and good gentlemen. 1t is picture
in the perfect state, with millennium
just around the corner.
At u o'clock last Saturday Michael
Leddy, foreman of the cloth-examining
department of a great Los Angeles
store received his weeks wages, $25,
suburban towns that Epes Randolphs'
railroad makes close connection with.
Next morning, while the family were
at breakfast he appeared among them.
He cut his wifes head open with a
bottle, and again with an earthenware
dish knocked her senseless on the
floor, kicked out one of her eyes-the
other he ha. destroyed year before
forced whisky down the throat of his
seven-year-old daughter until she be-
came crazy, and then fell into proud,
contented slumber.
This was not his first offense. 1t
was not an isolated break. He was a
notorious wife-beater, whose violence
and cruelty had been nursed by indul-
gence until they were fit to shame
fiend. Under the treatment of the
higher civilization and carefully
shielded from punishment of nature
calculated to shock his nerves or
wound his tender sensibilities, he had
waxed bolder and more efficient in
his domestic designations. And there
he lay, with his wife mangled
wreck MS daughter transformed into
a demon, and the other children, half
crazed by fear and hunger, grouped
about him! A reassuring tabueau! A
splendid testimony to our hatred of
barbarism, a ria reward Tor the no
BILE courage with which we have frown-
ed down the whipping-post.
1t may seem to the captious and SUI
persensitive that the woman and the
children in the case have something to
complain of-such is human perver-
sity; but the trustees of altruism rest
contented in the knowledge that Mr..
Michael Leddy will be restored to
health in the prison hospital and pro-
tected against any treatment calculat-
ed to hurt his feelings or disturb the
fine equilibrium of his self-respect
This is the silver lining to the
cloud-the thought which inspires and

The HABIT OF LYING.
ways In which PrevaricattOn May
BE Developed.

How does one become liar--that is
to say, how does the child discover q
lie and habitually make use of it?
We can admit that at the beginning
there is absolute sincerity. The child
through all its first years neither lies
nor dissimulates. Its sentiments, its
desires, translate themselves into words
and into acts. It's body is the constant
and perfect expression of its inmcst
being. Such is the starting point-sin-
cerity, absolute transparency.
There is a multitude of little lies
tolerated which we treat as pardon
able. We tell the domestic to say We
are not at home when we are: we com
pliment people to their faces and crit
icise them when they are gone: we say
we are happy to see some one and di-
rectly after speak of having been an
noyed. No more is necessary. The ex-
ample has been given.
We lie to the child himself We are
pressed by his many embarrassing
questions and in order to free ourselves
from the embarrassment reply with
" AAN 40 AANHNNh14N AAlSN1lOON
fine day he discovers the truth. and the
evil is done. The grayest case is when
the child is taken as an accomplice in a
lie or when his mother tells him,
"Above ALL do not tell this to your
papa" This Is the ruin of all morality
The third stage is the first encounter
of the child with society, the first

that he would better have left unsaid.
is called the 'enfant terrible.'' Mis-
parents do not tell him to lie, but they
tell him it is not necessary to tell all
he thinks. This is extremely serious,
as it teaches the child that he cannot
show himself as he is. This is the
revelation of the lie obligatory. Abo~e
all, among his comrades he quickly
learns to diSsimulate, because If he is
naiye-expresses all his joys, pains, de-
sires-they make sport of him; nay,
worse. they abuse his confidence; the
hopes, projects which he has confided
to them he some day sees used against
him.
Thus the impossibility of living with
out lying is revealed to him. Society
excuses certain forms of lying which
are inspired by Il feeling of politeness,
modesty, shame.
The child becomes liar because all
the world about him lies. The distinc-
tion between the liar and the man of
sincerity is only relative. There are in
reality only two categories-those who
content themselves with the lies exact
ed by social life and those who have
habituated themselves to lying more
than society wishes, to lie because of
some personal interest.
An important cause in the develop
ment of lying in children is the EN-
ployment Of excessive and Ill advised
punishments. The child who becomes
a liar is the one who lives in perpetual
terror of reproaches. humiliation or
strokes. The lie for him is supreme
resource.-Chicago Tribune.

1T WAS NOT EVER THUS.

Il have always held" said Mr.. w. J..
Bryan, in a speech delivered in Mis-
souri, few days ago. and for a re-
ltrt of which we are indebted to the
st. Louis Republic, thai it is good
and proper for Democrats and Popu-
lists to unite against Republicans in
elections" Always" is a very COM
prehensive word. 1t is, in fact, more
comprehensive word than Mr.. Bryan
can afford to use in that connection,
for there was time, not in the very
remote past, when Mr.. Bryan volun-
tarily offered to stump the State of
Virginia for a Populist candidate
against the Hon. Charles T. O'Farrell,
the regularly nominated Democratic
candidate for governor Of that State.
Mr.. Bryan was finally persuaded to
abandon that scheme, but he has never
denied and, we venture to say, never
will deny the charge.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Bryan Is looking
forward to, and doing his best to pro-
mote, in 1904 repetition of the alli-
ance of 1896 and 1900 All of his po-
litical deliverances, whether In his ad-
