comed, as l am sure they would be, by the two veteran editors who have ad- dressed me.
 What kind of life would 1t be for him in that faraway home for the indigent, among spirits with whom he cannot be in touch as he is with those-the cronies of old-who have shared his labors?
 This is in line with the position taken by The Advertiser when the question was first mentioned, and we have seen no oc- casion to change that position. And on this same subject The American Journalist thus speaks out:
 It is this kind of thing which tends to make the respectable American journalist looked down upon. It puts a stigma at once upon a profession as honorable as that of the lawyer, the doctor or the clergyman. There are poor lawyers, but we do not find them bowling for rich men to provide for their indigent members; any amount of doctors old and out of ser vice who are not crying for part of MT. Carnegies wealth to be devoted to their use, and number of poor preachers worn out in service who would scorn to ask aims from the richest millionaire who walks the earth.
 The whole movement is a shame and disgrace. Why should MT. Carnegie support indigent newspaper men any more than he should support indigent tinkers and cobblers? To the praise of the unions to which all skilled labor except that of the brain workers, be- longs, 1t looks after its own and begs of nobody. Big Six tends the sick, buries it's dead and looks after its old and infirm members without holding out it's cap in hand like a modern Lazarus. Newspaper men make quite as much money as any men in any other profess sion if the average be taken and. if they take out an insurance policy they can, like other men, provide for old age 1t is quite true that there are fewer re- wards at the top for the journalist but he averages very fairly out Anyhow the newspaper men of the United States ought tc look out for their own and not go begging to millonaires

HOME FOR BURROS.

Several weeks since the News
Herald, at the request of several
prominent citizens, mentioned the
fact that the burrOs were getting to
be quite nuisance and disagree
able feature of Wickenburg life.
The Prescott Prospect, copying the
article, comments as follows:
"The Wickenburg News-Herald
is responsible for the above, to-
gether with halt-column attack
upon this harmless animal, which
in times gone by has been compli-
mented with the title Of the Hass-
.ayampa nightingale. Shades Of
the departed Hassayampers! Is
this a sample of the gratitude that
Wickenburg, in the days of her
prosperity, deals out to the faithful
AID unassuming friend who has
helped to build her up"
Between the lines of the above
the time-stained features OF that
venerable Hassayamper, ?. G..
Bicknell, are plainly visible, and
like him we realize that the burros
have played an important part in
the development of Wickenburg.
If it had not been for their burros,
most of the old time prospectors
could not-and would not-have
remained in the country, BUT, Mr..
Bicknell should remember that
times are changing, new people are
coming in and some things which
hardly attract the attention OF the
case hardened westerner, cannot
be countenanced by the untutored
easterner.
No old-timer objects to living,
eating and sleeping with this un-
assuming and companiable house
hold favorite ard prospector's pet,
in fact, some of them claim to be
lonesome without one, but for
some unaccountable reason, some
of the recent pilgrims from the
effete east cannot aecustOm them
selves to seeing the streets and vac
ant lots used as a breeding ground
and lying-in hospital by the bur
ros, neither is it pleasant to be a.

cold sweat by one of 'Bicknel's
Faithful, emittinga soul-stirring,

JACK-IN-THE-BoX PRESIDENTS
PerpetuaIly Disturbed Soutt American Republics.

The men who get to the top in the South American game of politics be- come presidents of republics, but it is a "jack-in-the-box" game they play. The presidents are the jacks and the boxes are the prisons into which theX are thrown by revolutionary springs. Paraguay is the last country to produce one of these characteristic revolutions, for only the other day President Aceval was overthrown and had to flee. The man who succeeds him as head of the republic can be reasonably certain that sooner or later some one will revolt against him and that his turn to fly will come, says the New York Tribune
 The recent revolt in Paraguay was headed by Col. Escurra, minister of war, and ,Senor Moreno, minister of finance. It was strong combination, and there was little difficulty in per- suading the soldiers to begin the re- volt when they learned that the treas urer of the republic was with them. President Aceval was taken by sur prise and captured in his palace at Asuncion after his servants and body guard had been put to flight by a few well-directed shots. Then the rebel leader seized Gen. Esguzquiza, for mer president of Paraguay, whose ib- erty might have spoiled their plans. He made no resistance.
 The two ministers then ceased to consider themselves rebels, and the minister of war began to issue proc Ia press dispatches say that there is no probability that President Aceyal will return to power. He is one of the most scholarly men in South America and was minister of war and navy under his predecessor. He has been in office since November, 1898. which is rather long term for South American president.
 It is the only way they have to. bring about a change of administra- ton in South America," said New York man who has seen consular serv- ice in several of the republics, in com menting on the Paraguay revolt. Very shortly after man becomes president he changes into dictator. He wields sufficient power to make his reelection certain, by fair means or foul. Some other man of promi- hence becomes ambitious. sows dissen- sion in the army, if possible, and starts a revolution. The president is pulled out of his chair, while the new ruler takes his turn. It used to be the fash- ion to execute the deposed president without delay, that there might be no possible chance of his getting back into power. This practice has fallen into disfavor, and there will be more ex-presidents in South America here after. Eventually the count ries will become more civilized, and the ballot win have the power it should have"

Mother and Daughter Killed.

CLEVELAND, O., April 14.-Mrs.- Martha J. Calhoun, aged seventy-five, and her daughter, Mrs. Vaughn, aged forty-six, have been shot and killed by as yet an unknown party two miles east of Mantua Station, village forty miles southeast of this city. Will Vaughn, a stepson of the younger wo- man, is locked up in Havana jail charged with the crimes because of cir cumstances which are alleged to in- criminate him. Mrs. Vaughn was shot five times in the head, the sixth bullet of a revolver ending the life of her mother. No one but the murderer saw the crimes committed, and when the dead bodies of the two women were found there was intense excitement in the little village.
