tons chance to do the IMAM on horse

no doubt that Henry would have done
il if the others ienows had appeared
for he says so himself From that time
to this he has Deen imagining different
men on horseback riding down every
Constitutional protection we have and
mounting a throne OF despotism at
Washington.
Things have gone wrong, are going
wrong. but The Citizen Is not yet IN
fear of "a man on horseback or
afoot. Before things come to such
pass there will be an uprising at the
ballot box that will effectually put
things to right once more. There may
be some severe experiences in store for
us,-and The Citizen rather inciines to
the opinion that there will be--but 1t
still holds to the belief that nothing
savoring of a dictator or any form OF
absoutism will be tolerated. or even
attempted in the United States.
We do not believe that there is any
considerable numuer of people who
wish any other form of government
than the one we have now, There Is
no reason why they should except the
allurements of an aristocratic court
and the snobbery of titles. The few
people who dream that such eondl-
ton of affairs will ever be established
in the United States are promptly dis
iIlusioned when they wake up. The one
circumstance that makes our people
patient under hardships is the know
ledge that majority of the voters ap-
proved the conditions, and the belief
mat when a majority get tired OF thelI
own works they Will vote for q
change
With only an infinitesimal portion
of the population in favor OF change
in the fundamental conditions OF gov
ernment there is no probability OF
new order being Established. 1t takes
big majority to effect radical
changes.
The man on horseback is crea-
ture of heated brain.

BARBRRlSM DEFENDED.

The Phoenix Republican is disposed
to accept the responsibility OF the afro
cities of the Army in the Philippines
in benaf of the Republican party. Re
publican newspapers of character ana
ability either denounce the acts OF our
soldiers. commissioned or enlisted. or
deplore them. Some few maintain ST.
lence. under the influence, no doubt
of deep disgrace and shame at the
sacrcitice of our civilization, but only
the very ignorant or the very debased
little organs make any attempt to eX-
Cuse the barbarous atrocities.
But the shadows murmur while the
deeps are dumb, and the Phoenix Re
publican makes a display of its parti-
san imbecility in this fashion:
Almost as regrettable as the acts of
torture complained Of is .Ae attitu0e
of large secllon oil the Democratic
press anu many of the Democratic
pouticians of the country. This attl-
tude is one of consistent hatred for
the army Were we to read in Spanish
or other European papers such critic
isms as Democrats offers, we could
pass it by as an example of the hatred
for all things American. But TO ma
many of our citizens eager to believe
the worst ISLANDERS against the army TO
see them delghtedly pouncing upon
every calumny and retaining 1t as
sweet morsel. argues queer sort or
patriotism. In all probability there are
quite as many Democrats in the army
as Republicans and at home they
were average citizens Of the communl-
ties from which they enlisted. Is the
Democratic party afraid of the army,
or does a large element in that party
simply hate the army as an institution
of the Union?
Major Waller and Lieutenant Day,
ON the witness stand admitted that they
had tortured and executed unarmed
Filipinos without trial. Waller declared
that he had orders from his superior
officer. Brigader General Smith to
kill all above ten years of age. Major
Gardiner. in a report to the war De
partment recited at length, the
cruelties and atrocities of which our
troops were guilty. and the Secretary
of War has hailed several officers be-
fore a court martial to answer accusa-
tions of crime Yet in the face of all
this Murphy's Capper has the hardl-
hood to accuse Democrats of consist
ent hatred of the army" because acts
that would have shamed Geronimo or
Sitting Bull were denounced by the
Democratic press.
We woulu advise the Phoenix Re
publican to contine its intellectual
endeavor to small plunder Better
that 1t should resume the printing ol
sbrand books and make another ap-
peal to Martln to join in scheme to
rob the Territorial treasury than that
ii should send forth word that the
public opinion of Arizona approved
the dethronement of American clVlllZ-
alton in the Philippine Islands. the
men of Arizona are hewn from the
rib of sturdy American manhood. they
have encountered savagery and fought
and deleated 1t. They denounce the
atrocities committed by American sol
diers in the Philippines as earnestly
and honestly as they denounced the
atrocities of Geronimo in Arizona.
lhe Phoenix Republican does not
voice the public sentiment of Arizona.
The people of this Territory are op-
posed to civic IlunGer and martial
barbariSm.

LATE COTTON CROPS CON.
DITiON IMPROVED.
But the Size of the Crop is
Purely PrObiematical.

The tone of this weeks reports
from the different states in the
cotton belt are indicative of a
somewhat improved condition Of
the late crop, although far from
hopeful OF a full crop. To what
extent the crop was hurt during
August, and to what extent it
has since recovered from its in
jury are both problematical to a
greater extent than the ability of
any one, however expert, to de-
fine, and the final outcome will
be uncertain to a greater extent
than usual until the last bale Of
the year has been counted. This
much is certain that there was
an unusually large June and
July fruitage which is now open
ing, and being picked, but the
subsequent fruitage is the per-
picking question.
judging by the effects of the
weather during August on the
plants, it can safely be said that
reports of only half to two-thirds
of crop are both exaggerated, g,
and the only uncertainty now is
whether the crop will be the lar
gest ever grown or about equal
to last years. The latter seems
now to be the most probable. In
many localities there will be a
good top crop, although reports
indicate the contrary, but in past
years the cry has been the same
of no top crop, and despite the
cry a top crop did develop, ma
ture and was gathered. Any es-
innate Of this years crop under
10, 800, 900 bales should be dis
credited, whether such emanate
from the government bureau or
be issued by cotton firms that
try to influence prices for their
own selfish purposes.
In North Carolina frequent
showers occurred during the past
week, chiefly on the Sd and 4th.
which gave fairly abundant

cotCoh VIII be materially benefit
ted, that the plant will now take
on blooms, and that the young
bolls will be ma;ured, which
otherwise would not. Against
the opinion Of the majority Of the
reporters to the effect that the
rains were beneficial, must be
placed the reports of damage TO
the staple by wind and rain, the
increased ravages of the boil
worms and weevil, and the re
tardation Of picking. The rains
were of little or no benefit to
early painted cotton. The boil
weevll continue to be very nu-
merous in the area infested by
insect. Boil worms are decreas
ing in numbers, and reports OF
this pest are few, and these
are sporadic. Picking has been
retarded in many sections by the
frequent showers, but in the
greater portion of the State is
under iull headway and well al
vanced for this date. In many
sections of the southern portion
OF the State picking is practically
finished. All reports confirm the
statements previously made as to
the Yield. e., that it will be
much short of an average.
In Arkansas scattered showers
occurred during the week, but as
a rule were light. Lower tenn
peratures prevailed, some nights
being quite cool. Cotton has de
Perforated in all sections, owing
to damage by drought, rust and
boil worms, though there are
some localities in the northern
part of the State where rains have
been ample and damage by in
sects slight. In these favored To-
calities the crop ranges from fair
to excellent, but elsewhere the
indications point to from half to
two thirds the average yield. Ii
is opening rapidly and picking is
becoming more general, but is
being delayed in some sections on
account OF scarcity of labor. In
the central and southwest sec.

bolls have completed their growth
aud are opening very fast. some
prematurely on account of rus,
which is very widespread. Pick
ing cotton is now very general
and is advancing more rapidly.
Late planted cotton is still green
and will give small top crop.
In South Carolina cotton open-
ed rapidly, in places premature
ly, during the week, and nearly
all the reports indicate that from
one-half to two-thirds Of the bolls
are now open. Picking made
rapid progress, but failed to keep
pace with the opening. Pickers
are scarce in few counties.
There IS reiteration of former
complaints of the prevalence and
harmful effect of rust and blight,
causing the plants to die, making
1T evident now that there will be
but small top crop, and only in
favored localities where plants
are free from rust and have con
tinued to bloom and fruit. There
is an almost unanimous express.
ION by reporters, that the crop
will be below average i'm Weld,
although few correspondents
state that the yield will equal
or exceed last years. Some open
cotton was stained by rain, al
though it is generally being gath
cred in fine condition. Sea island
cotton is well fruited, but the
prospect for a top crop is poor.
1t Is opening, and some has been
picked and marketed.
In Georgia cotton continues
opening rapidly. The recent
rains have been of very little
benefit, as plants in many fields
were beyond recovery. In sec
tions where the weather of the
week was generally fair picking
was rushed and is well advanced
many fields being nearly cleaned.
In other districts picking was re-
tarded by the rains and the staple
was discolored. There is COM
plant of scarcity of labor in nu-
merous counties. New blooms
are scarce except here and there
on bottom lands, and no top crop
is indicated. Little or no i'm.
provement in the general condi-
ton of the crop occurred during
the week. In a few sections the
outlook is regarded as the poorest
in sereral years, and as a rule, a
yield considerably below average
is anticipated.
In Florida early cotton has
reached its best growth, and the
plants are now doing very little.
The bulk of the crop is open, and
is being picked very rapidly.
Late cotton is improved some
what and is beginning to open.
Reports indicate, however, that
all of the fruit will not mature.
Crop estimates range from one
half to two-thirds of an average
crop.
In Alabama rains, while favor
able for minor crops and some
late corn, were too late for cotton
