The CASE or COL. LYNCH.

The case of Colonel Arthur Lynch
bids fair to be an interesting problem
in British politics. and may even have
a tendency to add to the gaiety OF the
coronation ceremonies now fast ap-
preaching. 1t Is part of the func-
ton OF Ireland to contribute liveliness.
new issues and more or less disturb
ance to British politics, so We need not
be surprised II the Irish would
gladly grasp the case Of Lynch to add
feature of spice and novelty to the
coronation of the king.
Colonel Lynch, 1t will be recalled, Is
member of the British parliament,
now in Jail in London. accused of
high treason Out OF Ireland an
accusation of treason sounds horribly.
but in Ireland it is more or less a
badge OF patriotism and public spirit.

Unionist opponent, who was his first

Lynch remained in Paris. for reasons
which will be understood when it is
explained that he fought against the
British during a part of the Anglo
Boer war. AS the colonel was then a
British subject, the English statesmen
decided that he was guilty OF treason"
when he gave laid and comfort to the
kings enemies. Whether that is a
sound contention remains to be seen.
At any rate, Colonel Lynch would be
much more comfortable II he had re-
mained in Paris than he will be in IN

THE 6. a. r. ENCRMPM PMENT.

The annual encampment of the
Grand Army OF the Republic of Ari-
Zona convened in Tucson today A
warm welcome should be extended to
the veterans. They represent a heroic
age and heroic strife, and their SER
vices to their country should never be
forgotten.
1t is now more than thirty-seven
years since the last comrades of the
men who meet here today, who were
killed in battle were carried TO their
graves. Their swords are rust and
their bones are dust, but their memory
is yet green in the hearts and minds OF
their comrades around the camp fires
and on the firing line. The ranks of
these survivors are sadly thinned now,
and are year by year growing thinner
as each encampment meets. But the
spirit of comradeship survives, and the
love of the flag and devotion to the
country will live while the last veteran
who followed Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan and Mcclellan in the greatest
war of the ages. walks the earth.
The men who fought for the Union
will ever hold a warm place in the
respect and affection of the American
people. The badge of the Grand
Army of the Republic is 9 badge of
honor. 1t represents patriotism. de-
voted service and active participation
in great deeds.

New Englander thinks it ought to be
done, it is wrong and wicked, although
he may be guilty of the same wicked
ness himself. The difference in con-
ditious and circumstances is never
taken into account New England

educational qualifications, while Vlr-
ginia had no restrictions. And yet

T'ut, in point of fact, has Connecticut
ANYTHING TO boast of over Virginia IN
this matter? The constitutional con-
vention of Virginia represented the
people OF the State. The constitu-
tional convention OF Connecticut rep
resented towns and rotten boroughs,
One voter in one town counted for as
much as a hundred or more voters IN
one of the cities. The majority of the
members of the convention represented
a minority of the population, and for
nearly a hundred years Connecticut
has been under the rule of the minor
ity. Constitutions were neither pro-
claimed nor submitted, because the
minority was unwilling to surrender
their control of the State. And this
new constitution which they boast
must be ratified by the people provides
for the continued domination of the
minority.
Is 1t any more a government of the
people for a convention elected by the
minority to frame constitution to
continue the rule of the minority and
then submit the unequal instrument to
the people, than for convention Sc
lected by the majority to frame con-
stitution and proclaim it?
The trouble with New England. how
ever. is that its people are eternally
meddling in the affairs of other people.
The domestic concerns of Massachusetts
or Connecticut cause no worry or eX-
element in Virginia or elsewhere in the
south or west, but there is no local
concern OF the south or west that New
England does not insist upon taking a
hand in. In the meantime Virginia
has proclaimed its constitution and
disfranchised its ignorant niggers and
what is Massachusetts going to do
about it?

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT

Democratic candidate for Delegate to
Congress must represent a majority OF
the Democratic voters of the Territory,
and the Democrats OF Yavapai and
Pima and Graham and the other coun-
ties should have fun opportunity to
make free choice.
We think Colonel Wilson is unduly
alarmed about any scheme or tendency
to disrupt the Democratic party. The
fact that some Democrats in Arizona
should prefer some one other than
Colonel Wilson as the party candidate
for Congress does not bear the slight
est suggestion of evidence to disrupt or
disorganiZe or weaken the party in
any particular We have not doubt
that if Colonel Wilson comes to the
Tucson convention with a majority of
the delegates favoring his nomination,
he will be made the Democratic candi-
date, and will be loyalty supported by
the Democratic masses In every county

of the delegates he will not be nom
mated, and it will be no Indication cf

We are glad that Colonel Wilson IS

to Pima county. and hope that he will
go to Graham, Cochise and the Others.
That is the proper way Democrats do
not accept machine dictation. They
insist upon the privilege of free selec-
ton. They do not regard 1t as party
disruption for more than one candidate
to appeal TO the party in a direct, out
spoken and manly way. They have a
right OF individual preference until the
convention makes selection, and then
Democrats worthy of the name support
the candidate and do not covertly con-

NEW ENGLAND INTOLERANCE.

Out west where we are not burdened
with prejudice, and where lawyers only
have any respect for precedent it is
amusing to observe the wrangles and
contentious of our grandpapas in the
east. Just now New England and
Virginia are at it hammer and tongs.
New England sniveling as usual. and
Virginia trying hard to maintain a
state of genteel Indignation
1t seems that Virginia and Connect
cut have been holding constitutional
conventions, and the Virginia conven-
ticn promulgated its constitution.
while the Connecticut folk submitted
theirs to vote of the people for ratifi-
cation. This has made an issue and
the war between newspapers of the
two sections is very fierce. A mum
Der of our esteemed New England con-
temporaries--for let it be understood
that the six Yankee States always
stand together are greatly panied be-
cause the Virginians did not submit
their constitution to the people for
ratification. What would be thought
they ask, if the Connecticut convention
should have proclaimed the constitu-
ton without first submitting 1t to the
| people?
At this distance from both Con
necticut and Virginia we might be dis
posed to think that IL Connecticut had
an electorate which was largely made
up Of nearly two hundred thousand
| negro voters, of whom not tithe can
| read the tickets they vote, or know the
difference between a constitution and
an aurora borealis, and thousands oi
whom do not know their right hands

such an electorate we might say that

wise thing to proclaim it's constitution

and no charge of treason" can be
brought against them. Their position
as beligerents was probably as well
established as would be the position OF
any European state with which Eng
land might engage in war. This IS
unquestionably true of the Orange Free
State, and there seems to be no reason
why 1t should not have been true OF
the Transvaal, despite Great Britain's
claim OF suzerainty over the latter.
Technically the British government s
case against Colonel Lynch would
seem to be strong one. 1t is prob
able. however. that Lynch will be able
to prove that before taking up arms
he became naturalized citizen of the

not unlikely when he was In South

Even ii that should have been the case,
it will hardly alter the determination
of the British government to prosecute

That Colonel Lynch will be allowed
to take his seat in the British parlia-

the charges preferred against him.

COL. WILSON'S CANDIDACY.

1t is entirely flattering to Colonel ].
r, Wilson that he should feel assured
OF the steadfast support of the Demo
Gratis of his home county of YayaLai
in his aspirations to be the Delegate
OF Arizona to the Congress of tie
United States. 1t is good indication
of the character of a man when nc il
respected and approved by the people
who know him best and longest. No
one questions the soundness of Colonel
Wilson's Democracy, yet We beg to re-
mind him that there Is no principle of
the Democratic party held more sa-
cred than the free right to select can
didates for the party's suffrage No
man has mortgage on a Democratic
domination, and any Democrat has a
right to appeal to the members of his
party to be made a party candidate.
Previous to a convention the right of
selection is absolute
We are not familiar with the ethics
OF candidates, but It is easy to see that
Colonel Wilson feels disposed to resent
any attempt on the part Of other can
didates to appeal for the support of the
Democrats of Yavapai county in oppo-
sition to him. Whatever may be the
ordained ethics among candidates in
such an emergency. we feel no he5i-
fancy in saying that the contention or
position or claim that an applicant for
a Democratic nomination should not
enter the home county of another dQ-
plicant to seek the suffrage of the
members of his party is Illogical, un-
just and Democratic. Arizona is a
political unit, and not confederation
Of counties. If the position assumed
by Colonel Wilson were carried to the
limit, it would ultimately result In the
practical disfranchisement OF the Dem
ocratic masses SO far as the sele e'tiGn
of candidates is concerned. All that
would be necessary Is for sore es-
teemed citizen in each Of the thirteen
caunties to declare himself can1i-

San Diego, Cal, Dec. Pain the
Tingley-Times libel suit yesterday,
DR.. Anderson of San Francisco, once a
member Of the Tingley cabinet, de-
scribed his initiation into the Society
of the Lost Mysteries of Antiquity. All
present were supposed to be taking
part in very ancient ceremony. All
were dressed in light muslin costumes
and the rite was sOlemniZed i'll open
ar. Describing the initiation Ander-
son said it consisted chiefly of Mrs.
Tingley's telling of her dog Spot and
what he had done. Then Mrs. Tingley
ate some fruit which was supposed to
be very mysterious symbol and part
Of the initiation which WGs taking
place. Anderson then told how he was
made a member of the order Of the
Rising Sun. The chief feature Of this
initiation was. he said, that the candi-
date held a sunfOWer. There was all
other order known as the Ancient Or
der of Scribes. which was very high.
Anderson said when Mrs. Ttngley
went to welcome the visitors she wore
a large purple robe that gave her a
queenly appearance. Describing the
sacred costume, such as was worn to
welcome a bridal couple married at
the homestead, Anderson said it was
something like a skirt, but rather
longer. "The one 1 wore." he said,
was like wrap belted at the waist.
Men and women wore about the
same"
Anderson then told of Mrs. Tingley's
method of feeding children. Their
food was principally bread and milk.
She believed the surest way to kill out
the low animal nature in children
was to starve them. He told of an in
stance Of year old baby being kept
without food for "a hours. The chill
dren were separated from their
parents as a rule, being permitted to
see each other but once in two weeks
Mrs. Tingley's reason was, Anderson
said, that parental favoritism and pa
rental language interfered with the
proper development of children and
were things to be avoided as much as
possible. Referring to the discipline
of children, Anderson aVerred that
Mrs. Tingley would order them away
from the table if they did anything
contrary to the rules and that he knew
they were deprived altogether of
meal for a time. Replying to a ques-
