proved to be a good-sized needle. The

inside of the girl is not known.

Joint Committee Decides That Padu-.
cab Has no City Marshal.
Chief Collins to be Instructed to Per-
form the Duties-Ordinanoes
to be Passed Today.
LIVELY FIGHT IMMINENT

The joint committee from tine coun-
Gil and board Of aldermen. composed
Of Counoilmen Fowler, Hummel and
Voolfolk aud Aldermen Greif, Jones
and singleton. met at the city hall last
night. and behind closed doors con-
ferred over the present situation re-
sulting from the city trying to work
under both the second and the third
class charters.
A resolution was passed declaring
that under the second class charter,
under which the city is operating,
there is no provision made for a mar
shall, and that none can be maintained
by the city, consequently that there
Is no city ma rshal and that the board
OF Ere and police commissioners mott
~ the chief Of police. James Collins,
to collect all fines, forfeitures and
costs in the police court and turn the
same into the city treasury and to dis
charge the duties now performed by
Marshal James Grow.
This means that Marshal James
Crow. who his not vet served year Of
his four wear term, is to be forced out
OF Office, II possible. The resolution
ia final. 40 TAR as the city is concerned
and no ordinance will be pecessary to
carry ont its provisions.
II becomes effective December /,
when Marshal Grows quarter ends.
This means that Marshal Grow will
now have TO sue out an injunction en-
Joining Chief Of Police Collins from
collecting the fees. and to test In the
courts the legality Of declaring that
the office he holds does not exist. He
will doubtless do this in a few days.
The Joint committee last night also
decided TO stop all the fees and com
missions that are now paid to the
CITY clerk, wharfmaster, prosecuting
attorney, CITY weigher and sexton of
Oak Grove. The weigher gets so
per cent. Of the proceeds, the attor.
news one.third of the revenue from
the police court. and the others com.
missions that amount to a great deal
more than the salary.
This change will have to be done
by ordinance. This afternoon the or.
dinance committee from the general
council will convene at the city hall
and decide on what to pay the various
officials above, who will be deprived
Of their perquisites. The salaries mu Il
be fixed by ordinance. and IL is not
known what will be decided on. The
council meets tonight in called session
to pass the ordinance.
A member OF the committee said
this morning in discussing the situn-
tiop. that il didn't make any differ.
eucee whether they had any right to

that they were going to do il lust the
same. and let him do the kicking.
ATTORNEY Gilbert will doubtless do
plenty of kicking. IL is estimated
that his office now pays him about
1900 a month ON an average. and II
is suggested BY some of the officials
that he be given salary of as little as
$40 a month. He will probably resist

CURRENT COMMENT
 We Are a Great People.

A Greek peddler, mounted on a bi- cycle, ran down and injured a child last Monday. He was mobbed and se- verely beaten. though it does not ap- pear that he was guilty of any greater offense than that of being an unwilling party to an unfortunate accident.
 This would be merely an ordinary occurrence in a great city were it not for the fact that the Greek peddler's name is John Adams. Boston is, of course, or used to be, the American Athens, and the names of John Adams and Boston are inseparable. A Bos- tonian named John Adams might. by a literary license, call himself Green, but it is impossible to see how Greek could call himself John Adams. He might, with as much propriety. call himself Quincy Peabody. or Lathrop Sumner, or Hezekiah Tucker.
 Yet this country's powers of assim- ilation are well nigh illimitable. The Green, the Roman. the Celt. the Teu- ton, the Hebrew. the Slav and the An glo-Saxon soon become American. Ra- cial names and characteristics disap- pear as if by magic under the influence of our civilization. In a very few years
 
 scendants of immigrants adjust their names, as the adjust their manners. to the requirements of the great American brotherhood, whose mission is to con- quer and enlighten the world.
 Viewing the matter from this stand point, the time is surely coming when we shall be unable to tell by a mans name from what part of the old world his ancestry is buried.
 All this is as it should be. for we are determined to be a peculiar people and little things like names must not be permitted to cut any figure what ever in our religious, political, com mercial or social life.
 If we will only cling together as united people with common destiny, a few centuries hence nobody will be able to tell where the ancestors of any of us came from, and nobody will care. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Paul Kruger.

It is easy to fling taunts at Paul Kreuger because he left South Africa and found refuge in Holland, while the irreconoilables among his Countrymen made long, running fight against the British. But nothing can be gained by throwing jibes at a man whose age alone explains his absence fIom the battlefield. Men are fleering at him for not having kept the field as the gallop- ing leader of the burghers, who at his age will net be able to sit on anything friskier than a deep-cushioned rocking chair.
 Krueger has been a stubborn old man and his mulishnes.s has cost the world dear, but in his time he could ride and shoot with the best of them. He showed his courage in more than one war and it is sheer nonsense to as scribe his absence from the b2ttls7 in which De Wet, BOtha and De la Rey were engaged to anything bur his de- clining years.

Alaska's Dawning Wealth.

It is a coincidence of travel and busi- ness that two expert observers have just returned from Alaska with views of the prospects of the far-off territory which must make it loom large in the calculations of the republics future.
 General A. w. Greedy, chief signal officer Of the army, comes from the north strongly impressed with the pos abilities of the Renal peninsula. the Copper river valley and other sections where the summers are warm, the land fertile and the opportunities for grain farming extensive.
 EX-Senator Warner Miller, who came back a little earlier than General Greedy, is enthusiastic over the timber resources Of Alaska and over the rap idly developing fisheries. The pine and fir forests are vast, and there are tre- mendous stretches of spruce. sufficient to insure against any future peril of q wood pulp famine. As for the fisheries. Mir. Miller expects their output soon to equal in value the yearly product of the Klondike and Cape Nome gold mines. He shares the opinion that not for many years will the mineral wealth of the territory we worked out
 Alaska ceased years ago to be called Stewards folly" But it is a new. and glowing view of our $7,200,0O0 purchase which shows a probable coming yield of more than $1O0,00O,OOO a year.-New York World.

Outcome of a Notable Cont, st.

The redistricting of Mississippi had a curious result: Three democratic congressman. Patrick Henry of Vicks- burg, John Sharp Williams of Yazoo and Charles Edward Hooker of Jack son, suddenly found themselves in the same district. All three wanted to go back to the house; only one could. It was for the party primary to decide between them, and it was for them to hustle for votes in the primary That they did. all working their hardest in the preliminary canvass, yet through out employing only honorable methods and treating one another with distin- guished courtesy. It was not a contest of South Carolina politicians of the new crop, but of southern gentlemen. Queerly enough. not one of them is Mississippian by birth. Hooker is a South Carolinan of the old crop. He was graduated at the Harvard law school in ls46. was a confederate colonel of cavalry and left an arm ct

Vicksburg. Williams was born in Ten nessee-the son of a confederate colonel who fell at Shiloh. Patrick Henry is the yCungster of the trio; he was born in Arkansas in the winter of '61.
 Williams has won out in the primary, and remains in congress: Colonel Hooker and Henry stay at home. Will Hams canvass is spoken of as one of the greatest even seen in Mississippi. The last day of it found him in his shirt sleeves, in a reputedly hostile ward Of Jackson, speaking alternately in English. German and French. His own county went for him solidly. and he made surprising inroads in the counties of his competitors.
 He is not only gentleman. but 9 scholarly gentleman-with the Univer- sity of Virginia stamp upon him, and superimposed on that. the Heidelberg stamp. A writer in the Washington Post recently spoke of him as repre- senting in the new century the planter statesmen of the old south.-Hartford Courant.

Not All Liars.

Western Investments, a journal pub lished somewhere on the coast, d week ago printed an article under the par tially alliterative headline. "Arizona's $ ly to those who lie about mining prop critics. Such liars we always have with us and so has every mining region had from the earliest times.

But the liar is no more numerous in Arizona according to the population of the territory than he is anywhere else.

Littlefeld on Trusts.

Congressman Littleheld has disap- pointed the democrats more than once since he loomed up before the public as q great mind" but his latest speech is likely to be the harG est blow they ever received at his han1s. He spoke in Lewiston, Maine. on Saturday even ing, and after ridiculing the democrats for their hard luck in trying to make an issue out of an assault upon the American army, he took up their other issue of tariff fostering trusts" and made very short work of it. There are, he said hundreds and thousands of corporations that are not protected by the tariff. The Standard Oil Company is the biggest of all trusts. and it has no tariff protection whatever. Anthra- cite is a trust and there is TO tariff on that. Go to free trade England and you will find the whole country honey combed with trusts. Sir John Culpep- per fought them in 1640 They are all over Europe and in countries that have never heard of a tariff. After this dose of most uncomfortable fact, MT. Little field continued: Now strike off the tariff and who goes to the wall first? Why. it is the weaker party, the in- dividual competitor. In the tin busi- ness no one would be left. We would then go abroad to buy our tin of for eing trust. I would rather buy of home trust that we might in some way control" That is the kind of exposi- tiOn which makes the democrats doubt if this is a good year for tariff reform as an issue-New York Commercial Advertiser.

What AiIs Schwab ,?

No other sick American has attract ed so much attention as Charles M Schwab, and no other American has been so freely used for the pointing or morals of one kind or another. Most of the critics of Mir Schwab have blamed him for working too hard. and we have been told that health is better than great riches. Now comes the Philadelphia Record with another kind of an indictment against the great steel manager. Not a word about overwork Mir. Schwab has been merely eating things to which he had not been edu- cated Says the Record:
 MT. Charles M. Schwab, at forty years of age. has gone to Europe to try to recover his health by rest and travel That he should not have broken down at such an early age is self-eVident. Not even his great business cares can account for the collapse. Dur ing all his years of hard work MT. Schwab never suffered from nervous prostratioh. and if he had not become extremely wealthy. he would not now be travelling for the benefit of his health
 Was it worth while to become pos sessed of $25,GOOOO0 for this? MT. Schwab would have been much better off if he had continued at his congenial labor, reaping therefrom only a small fortune for then he would have been contented to have stayed in the health ful mountains of Pennsylvania. It was his money that led him to New York and Paris, and it was in these places that his nerves were shattered, not by his useful labors in the steel works or in the offices of his corporation, but by rich living, to which he was unaccus- toned"
 Commenting upon the Records diag- nosis. the New York Commercial thus answers the indictment:
 We opine that even in the healthful mountains of Pennsylvania the presi- dent of the Steel corporation has had quite as rich living as in New York or Paris He has always had the look of a man well-fed, and he was certainly no chicken when the corporation was organized a year and a half ago or un- accustomed to the world and the ways and the practice of its best livers. Nor is MT. Schwab one of the ''nouveauX riches" who don't know how to spend their money properly He was man of large fortune and income long be- fore March 1901. He has known how to order a good dinner for probably fifteen years at least. and has had q passing acquaintance with mushrooms, birds, pheasants flyers, hummingbirds' hearts, Chateau Yquem' and 'Veuve Cllcquot for fully as many. Would the Ledger have us believe that MT Schwab was abstemious and a dieter during all the years prior to the re- ceipt of the first pay-envelope on his big salary, and that he then rushed off to New York and Paris and gorged himself like a small boy with his first quarter in a candy shop?
 There is a measure of good sense about him. everybody knows. We rather guess he knew how to feed long, long ago-and we can't shake off a suspicion that he is sound and well today

trained and college bred people may be found as, in the state of New York Business obligations are as well kept and failures as few as in any western state or territory. There is absolutely nothing in the character of the people or in their course of life to justify the conclusion that among them the liar reaches abnormal development. and such q conclusion is the unreason- a ble one of an unreasoning mind
 The champion concludes as follows:
 'The time has passed for hlppant to the mineral wealth of Ari- zcna or for taking just naturally ev- cry statement which involves a hand some valuation of a mineral property as more or less figment of the imag- ination. The real production and the results developed by mine workings de- monstrate that the territory is one of the richest mineral regions, area con- sidered, in the entire world. A mining territory which has produced in less than a score of years copper to the value of approximately $15O,OOO,OOO. and which in 1900 an output of precious metals worth more than $21 GOO, 900 may be presumed to have many very'valua- ble mineral properties
