General Funston Operated On.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. A surgi-
cal operation was performed yester.
day upon General Frederick Funston
at hospital. After the general ar.
rived here from the west last week
and had sought consultation with
his physician it was stated that an
other operation would not be neces-
sary. Within day or two, however,
the wound of the original operation for
appendicitis had not healed as the
physicians believed 1t should, and the
second operation was decided upon.
1t was stated at the hospital that the
general had undergone the ordeal in
q satisfactory manner. and that there
was every reason to believe the re.
suit would be all that was expected.

Pity the Co1one1s

The lot of the democratic colonels in Arizona is not happy one. just now. Discomfort is gnawing at the spirits of the whole aggregation. First of all, the bell-wether of all the colonels, Col onel J. Frank Wilson, the candidate, is unhappy as everybody knows. Faults of temperament prevent him from be- ing happy when he sees the game run ming to his opponent-and if Colonel Wilson has taken a trick in this cam paign it has escaped the notice of ev- erbody but himself. It is up to the colonel to be in the dumps, and he scorns to feign a cheerfulness he does not feel Hard hearted reader. put yourself in Colonel Wilson's place. How would you like to run for dele gate to congress on the eve of state hood, feeling that defeat awaited you, and knowing that defeat meant politi- cal oblivion for you? Would you feel blithe and gay? And. think you that the hilarity of the occasion would be heightened by your knowledge that all your fellow cclonels were lying in wait for you with their snickersnees? A political snickersnee, be it remembered, is much worse than the ordinary knife its wounds last longer. So, why should not Colonel Wilson have a tale of woe and a howl of calamity as he goes to and fro in the territory, and up and down in it? Think O; the years he has lost, 'laboring with his mouth, % putting up the fence for the nomina- ton in this campaign! If you think it Is a laughing matter to see all these labors go for nothing. put yourself in the coloners shoes.
 And the other colonels are just as unhappy. Colonel Marcus Aurelius Smith, Colonel Frank Cox, Colonel William H. Barnes Colonel Thomas G. Norris, Colonel Charles M Shannon. Colonel A. C. Baker Colonel John C.. Herndon and Colonel E. E. Ellinwood, all of them with lightning rods up for the United States senate next year, are supporting" their bell-wether and making speeches for him, with the same kind Of heartiness and alacrity with which the school boy rushes to take castor oil There is not one Of these Colonels who does not feel that he is infinitely the superior of Colonel Wilson in point of brains. and in de- serving. While they were busy attend ing to their business, Colonel Wilson was "laboring with his mouth" and making dickers and deals for delegates. They now see Wilson as the leader and boss Of the democratic party, and headed directly for the United States scnate-if he be elected delegate Moth ing can head him off. Moreover, Will sons election would mean a new deal all round. The old-time leaders would have to go on the shelf, and the young crowd" O. which Henry F. Ashurst is a type, would run the machine and fix things in the new state The colonels all realize this. and yet U preserve their regularity" they must make ex- tra eXertions to prove their loyalty They may be morally convinced that Morrison will beat Wilson, but until
Arizona republican., 1902-10-29

the votes are counted the element of doubt is present, and there can be no happiness.
 Colonel Mark Smith is the unhappiest of all the colonels whose fingers are be- ing pinched in the Wilson door. Colonel Smith has won many a campaign on his good humor and funny" stories. Is Colonel Smith funny in this cam paign? About as funny as an under taSer. The most strange thing about Smith. according to the reports of the boys" is that Ines as cross as bear" a state of chronic irritabilty. His old friends go to him expecting the glad hand. and they get a perfunctory shake and a growl.0 Smith in a bad humor is the novelty of the campaign. But how can he be gay? He returns to Arizona and finds Wilson making a pop-socialistic campaign, with the black flag raised against all capital and enterprise and all old-fashioned dem ocracy left out He finds the demo- cratic train headed for the camp oi the anarchist. So he has to go into the bunco business and talk about getting statehood from a helpless democratic minority in the United States senate, or he can't talk at all. And if he does n't talk in this campaign. what be- comes of s"regularity" democrat? Had Wilson been running on a demo- cratic platform 1t would not have been necessary for Smith to resort to q con fidence game that would be voted coarse by sChoolchlldren.

Were any other republican private citizen in that county to attain the same measure of success he would meet with like at tacks. If the Courier could be classi- fled as an animal it would be a yellow cur. It is always the most rabid in it's snarls at MT. Murphy when he is out of the territory, and the farther he travels away from Arizona the braver does the Courier bark. MT. Murphy has beer away for some time, hence the vocifer- ous yelping of the Courier lately, and hence the anonymous libels in it's columns.

In the eyes of the Wilson Courier crowd, it is a crime to be wealthy, and an objectionable sin to succeed in Ari- zona. A private citizen may succeed and escape the filthy abuse of this pop-socialistic outfit if he will class himself as a certain kind of a demo- crat. But if the successful man be a republican he will be assaulted ant slandered. no matter how closely he at tends to his private affairs. A case in point is that of MT. F. M. Murphy. who happens to be one of the terri tory's most successful citizens and at the same time republican But as a republican he merely takes the inter est in politics which every good citizen should. and no more. Every day in the year he devotes more hours to strict attention to his private business than the Courier Wilson crowd give to hon. est work in a week As he happens to

Hirsh's Great Opening.

Hirsh Opening yesterday might prop
erly be called "A veritable revelation in
millinery, dress goods, cloaks, suits furs
and waists, as every shopper and sight
seer OF the immense crowd that visited
that store remarked il was one of the
finest best selected and up-tO-date lines of
goods ever displayed.
The millinery department was. of
course, the Mecca Of the feminine visitors
The various hats displayed were distin-
guished, not only for their beauty and
style but in all there was that original
ity which makes hat distinctive and
gives the browning touch TO a woman's
whole appearance
In the matter of style, fair woman was
allowed unlimited choice, but the low
broad effects were, perhaps, the more nu-
merous.
The display of read y-made waists were
very attractive, as we'll as the handsome
line OF fur collars, boas and neck pieces
In the cloak and suit department. the
Monte Carlo and Gibson attracted most
attention, and in ready-made suits the
Norfolk jacket and plain blouse effects
were the most popular The store was
tastefully decorated, and all goods dis
played in dainty and attractive man
ner.

should pass a bill by which the Supreme
Court of the United States would be en-
powered, by the presentation of a proper
petition that any trust or monopoly was
restricting production or in any way in
terfering with the happiness of the people
TO reduce the tariff for a period of thirty
days, as eXigencies might require. that the
coal strike situation could be relieved For
an instance:
II the Supreme Court of the United
States should become convinced, upon
presentation of proper array offacts, that
the coal companies, on account of this
strike, were not furnishing the people
with the proper amount of fuel. that Tor
so, 30 or l2O days the tariff on coal
should be suspended, we could in that
length of time import coal enough to re-
lieve the suffering, misery and pain that
naturally follow high prices in coal by
simply suspending the tariff and import
ing coal from Wales. Ii seems to me that
this would be the proper solution of the
