MHRK SMITHS HDWGE.

Hon. Marcus A. Smith. the leader oi
the Democratic partylin Arizona, and the
most conspicuous and influential citizen
of the Territory, tells the readers of The
Citizen today of his impressions form
ed while abroad and of his convictions
of the duty of Arizona at the present
time.
Mr.. Smith does not talk like hack
politician, nor as q professed partisan.
He speaks as the custodian of the con-
fidence of the people of Arizona, as an
official trusted by the electorate, and he
points the way toward effecting a great
popular ambition Mr.. Smith has lab
ored for Statehood for many years. 1t
has been the aim and chief purpose of
his public service. His words are en-
titled to weight. His advice should be
followed by the people.
He tells Arizonians plainly, why, out
side of purely partisan considerations,
Col. Wilson should oe elected to Cong
ress. His words ought to be convincing.
If Arizona desires Statehood it mu st not
affront the Democrats in Congress who
have assumed the guardianship of it's
interests.
Mr.. Smiths views read more like @
deliverance from the Supreme Bench, or
the calm advice of profound states
man to his people than mere partisan
plea. In fact there is no partisan plea
about his talk. 1t is plain common
sense and reason, and if the people of
Arizona are true to themselves they will
follow his advice.

An ODD Nuwest Of Gold.

There have been many large and
oddly shaped gold nuggets found in
the United States and elsewhere, but
the oldest of them all was that dis
covered at the Midhas mine, on Sulky
gully, near Melbourne, Australia, in
1887. The nugget was fat and almost
the exact counterpart in contour of a
colossal human hand held open, with
the exception of the thumb and fore
finger, which were closed together in
a manner SO as to make it appear that
the thumb was holding the finger in
place. Its greatest length was 1871
inches and it's greatest breadth
inches.
1t was of the very purest gold, with
but little of foreign substances ad-
herring, mostly between the fingers, -
and weighed GIT ounces. 1t was found
in the northwest main drive of the
Midhas mine, 120 feet below the sur
face of the earth and at a spot only
fifty feet from where the famous Lady
Brassey nugget was discovered the
year before. 1t weighed ffty-one
pounds of pure gold.

rect to the right man, and let him do it
publicly. There is citizen of the State
of New York who can stop the strike in
4s hours if he but says the word. He
could have stopped the strike at any
time since it began. He controls the
situation. He is the most powerful in
dividusl in the United States, perhaps
in the world. His name is John Pier
pont Morgan.
Let President Roosevelt appeal di-
rectly and publicly to John Pierpont
Morgan, and place the responsibility
squarely upon him, before the entire
world of stopping, or of prolonging in
definitely, the intolerable conditions
which now prevail.

APPEAL TO MORGAN.

It was neither manly nor fair for
President Roosevelt to appeal to the
president OF the mine workers to call of
the strike. 1t is probably not in the
power of Mr.. Mitchell to do what the
President asked, even if he telt so dis
posed. And besides, it was asking more
Of him, and of the miners than was rea-
sonable or right under the circum-
stances.
In view of the great moral victory
they have achieved it could hardly be
expected that they would consent now
to an unconditional surrender to the
greedy, arrogant and heartless coal ba-
rons. The sentiment of the country is
overwhelmingly with Mitchell and the
striking miners. Thousands and tens of
thousands of conservative citizens who
are not partial to labor unions, and who
are as rule opposed TO strikes, are in
hearty sympathy with the miners.
Now let Mr.. Roosevelt appeal to the
proper person in a manner equally pub
Iic to that in which be appealed to
Mitchell. Let the President appeal di

Preliminary to the Baptisn,.

When Bishop Goe of Melbourne was
a curate, famous pugilist in the par
ish, who went by the name of Jim the
Slogger and who had never darkened
church door, called at the parsonage
asking him to baptize the baby. Ac-
cordingly the bishop repaired to Jim's
house, but was surprised on being ad-
mitted to see Jim lock the door and
pocket the key. BE you the parson
come to sprinkle that kid?" he asked.
On the bishop asserting he continued,
You can't sprinkle that kid till you
and me has had fight, parson."
The unfortunate parson protested,
but finding protest useless "stood up"
to jim. The battle went for the bish-
op. and Jim. pulling himself from the
floor, muttered, Hes the parson for
me-" The baptism was proceeded
with, and, as the story goes, Jim took
to church going from that day.-Pall

The boy hesitated a minute, as if
seeking for proper words to express
himself; then he said:
Noah knew the waters had gone
down because the dove came back

Olives and pickles were synonymous
terms in the small boys mind for
things which come in bottles and
which he did not like.

The FOOL AND HIS GUN.

| We gather from a careful and long.
continued observation of the newspaper
reports that more people kill and are
killed by mistake in New York than in
any other State of the Union. Maine
seems to be close second in the race
for this peculiar kind of distinction, but
even there the shooters and the shot are
chiefly from New YORK. In the Adiron-
dacks and the Catskills. however, we
find the most populous arena of the
damphool with the gun whether we
count the marksmen or the corpses.
Nobody west of the Alleghenies or south
of the Potomac and the Ohio ever mis-
takes lady's bonnet or gentleman's e
jacket for wild animal. 1t is only in
New York or in adjacent districts ire-
quented by New Workers that those mis-
understandings occur.
No need to review the tragic history
of the past. The drama enacted few
days ago near Blue Mountain Lake, in
the Adirondacks, furnishes all the illus
tration We require in this connection.
We have in that instance the spectacle

guished lawyer of the name of Storrs.
who thought the other was an antlered
stag and straightway filed him full of
lead. 1t is not necessary to go back
over the list of killings under like cir
cumstances and by similar fools. Major
Charles A Smylie, president of the Ma
tional Licorice Company, and a very
wealthy man, went on hunting expe-
dition with one of his intimates-a resi-
dent of one of New York's suburbs. The
two had been out only few days when

stayed at home while Smylie was at the

the governments conduct OF the war.
AT all events, the soldier was killed by

the friend meant well, but Smylie is
dead. The combination of a greenhOrn
