Lieutenant Peary is on his way
home after more than four years
spent in the polar regions. y dis
patch dated at Chateau bay, Labra-
dor. gives the news of his return. but
tells nothing of the results of his
expedition. Lieutenant Peary sailed
for the north July ,. 1898,
and the last news received from him
was contained in a letter dated April
+, 1901. in which he told of his round
ing of the northern limit of the Green
land archipelago; the attaining of the
highest latitude yet attained in the
western hemisphere, So degrees 80
minutes north; and the determine
tion of the origin of the so-called
'poleocrystic ice" (fioe berg). His
expedition was the best equipped one
ever sent to the polar regions, and
word of what il has accomplished is
awaited with interest.

Confusion in the Ranks.

The confusion in the ranks of the
republican party occaSiOned by the
abandonment on the part of Speaker
Henderson of his candidacy for re-
election is becoming more pronounce
ed and consequently more interest
ing daily. BY the leaders of the party
the action of the speaker is regarded
as exceedingly inopportune and i'm
polite, for it has precipitated just
what ii has been sought most to
avoid-the magnifying of the tariff
question just al this time, and the
connection of such policy with the
fostering of trusts. On the very day
that Henderson sent his bomb into
the party rank and file, President
Roosevelt was holding a conference
with the party bosses, headed by
Mark Hanna. at Oyster Bay, to deter
mine the line of argument TO be used
by the chief executive in his western
tour speeches. 1t was practically de-
cided that while the president was To
say all he wanted TO about the trusts
in his addresses. he was to avoid as
far as possible the mention of the
tariff in connection with his argu-
ments. In word. the wrath of the
combines was not to be further in
CURED by any more talk of tariff re-
form TO any extent whatever.
| Henderson had already had his
own Instructions on the same ques-
ton. and with the situation in his
district too closely defined TO admit
of doubt there was but one thing for
him to do-retire voluntarily now or
submit to the humiliation of defeat
few weeks hence. The speaker,
therefore, preferred TO get out of the
way now in good standing with the
tariff fed monopolies than to takr
chances of being retired on an issue
not to their liking. The speaker in
this has acted wisely. as far as his
own interests are concerned. He has
not abandoned those whose support
he can claim. for the sake of infiu-
ences the strength of which lie
knows not of. He has quit with the
tariff beneficiarieS at his back.
At the same time that these things
are happening our own beloved Shell
by NJ. Cullom has been making speech
es in Illinois. declaring that the only
way to throttle the trusts is to mod
ify the tariff. While in this act of
remarkable indiscretion the Illinois
fossil has got nearer the people than
ne has in the last quarter of cen
fury, he may be counted upon to re-
verse his position as soon as it is
made clear to him that this is an
other instance where party interests
are paramount to those of the cOun-
try.
Meanwhile the extent and depth of
party confusion has not been reliev-
ed in the slightest degree.

Can't please Everybody.

Every now and then somebody
gets mad on account of something the
newspaper says or does and with a
great flourish orders his paper
stopped. The same thing happens to
every well conducted newspaper
People who do this are only carving
off their nasal aPpendages to spite
their cOuntenances, for they will miss
the paper far more than we will ever
miss their 10 cents a week. and. be-
sides, we are not going to suspend
publication because they quit taking
the paper. We go right along undis-
turbed and constantly growing. We
have been told newspaper cannot
please everybody. We have never
tried it, but we believe the statement
to be true. The newspaper which
never displeases anybody lacks back
bone and positiveness of character.
We are not anxious to make enemies,
but when any mans friendship comes
only at the expense of liberty, con-
science and courage the price is too

tuted for coal on war ships. but he
thinks il may be used to advantage
on smaller crafts and tugs. The fact
that its use at the Mare island navy
yard for developing power for en-
gines has effected ii saving of some
40 per cent in the fuel bill is encour-
aging. If il can be economically used
on shore by the navy it can be by
private parties. The public is realiz-
ing more keenly every day the import
ance of the discovery of feast

The Illinois state fair this year
marks the golden anniversary of the
establishment of the fair in the state.
1t will be an unusually interesting
exhibit in consequence. President
Roosevelt will honor the state with
his presence at that time. The peo-

him honor. 1t will be an occasion for
a general Outpouring of the people.

nominated by an amazingly reckless

The Proper Treatment for sprained An

As rule man will feel well salts
fed if he can hobble around on
crutches two or three weeks after
spraining his ankle, and is usually
two or three months before he has
fully recovered. This is an unneces-
sary loss of time, for in many cases
in which Chamberlain's Pain Balm
has been promptly and freely applied,
complete cure has been effected in
less than one weeks time, and in
some cases within three days. For
sale by all druggists.

SAM POWELL'S CLAIMS
Flattering Returns From Ore on
 Wickenburg Properties.

A representative of the News Herald visited sam Powells and adjoining camps last week, looking over some of the largest and best low grade ore bodies in the territory of Arizona, prac- tically undeveloped as yet. but which will some day be opened up and add no small amount to the business of Wick enburg. First noticeable at sam Pow elrs camp, on the west side of the across the river, over Slim Jim gulch and several miles beyond. some claim ing the 0'Brien mine is this ledge, while others say it is a parallel one the ledge matter is honeycombed. iron stained quartz carrying good values wherever sampled and in some places on the surface being phenom- cnally rich in silver. one four ton ship ment of ore giving returns Of $2, 100 for the four tons. This rich shipment was made from the Dark Horse claim. on the Slim Jim gulch side. Across the river. on the Big Six claim, several tons of rich ore were taken out which averaged 5S5 ounces in silver and S2G in gold. While all the ore is not this rich by any means. several large pock- cts of this rich spre have already been encountered in the small amount of work done. and as samples taken any where along the ledge all horn well in gold. the probabilities are that the de
 velopment work will prove the geenral average of the ore to be even better

The formation of the, ground on the Centennial claim indicates that the recently discovered ledge win stead fly increase in size with development which news is of course very gra tify- ing to the owners, some of whom live here.
 The Centennial No. was discovered by Frank Rice. who took in Charles Schenk of this city with him, the latter prosecuting the development work. J. Maurin and John Herscher of this city later became interested, q company was finally organized called the Centennial No. ?, and a certain amount Of stock will be sold for development purposes.

BASEBALL.-The Mansfields and the Phoenix Fire Department baseball team will come together again this af- t=rnoon at Phoenix park and there will be a lively contest. Both sides are mad That is, they are professionally mad though personally good friends The Mansfields claim they have proved that they are the best team and the firemen say it was only slip and the kids will be taught something today Anyhow there will be a game and ii will be a lively one, one worth looking at if the observer has any weakness at all for baseball.
 ANOTHER SOUVENIR.-Not only has Major McClintock. the old guidon of his troop in the rough rider regi- ment as a souvenir, mentioned in yes teTday's issue. but on his last trip to Washington he secured another little memento, which. though purely senti- mental. is a touching souvenir of rough rider memories. He visited Arlington cemetery. where lies all that is mortal ot Buckley O'NeiH, commander of A troop. whose death in battle is a fla miliaT story to every Arizonian. Cap tain O'Nein's tomb is in the officers section of Arlington cemetery some distance from the section ret apart for the gray es Of the rank and file of the Spanish-American soldiers and near the grave of Cap tain Allen K. Capron. another brave Spanish-American volunteer. These tonbs are in a beautiful grove of big oak trees and from their spreading branches the acorns in season fall upon the sacred plat. Major McCIntocll picked up an acorn from the grave of his old comrade. and though it is just like any other acorn, for him it pos sesses a value that cannot be measured by money. Captain O'NeiII's grave is marked by handsome mpnument and all who visit the place may easily find it. f
