An English labor leader who came to
 method of fmanufactur- LABOR AND ing has returned home MACHINERY. fully impressed with
 the fact that the lIn- glish workers have been making a great mistake. The English labor unions have always set themselves against machinery. and they have made it impossible for the English manufacturers to use machines and thus compete with the manufacturers in this country.
 This labor leader now declares that he has been thoroughly cured of his prejudice against machinery, and he is to advocate in the future the use of machinery wherever it is possible. He says that it's use is necessary in order that England may maintain it's place and meet it's competitors. He holds that it is the duty of capitalists to introduce machines in their plants and to teach their men how to use them. This idea if carried out would make a new demand for machinery made i'll this country, and it would at the same time give the English manufacturers a better opportunity to compete with oT mills.
 One point brought out by this labor leader is of vital importance. While recognizing the advantages of workers in the United States, he does not like the custom of dispensing with work CTS after long years of service and the acquisition of a complete knowledge of their trade. This is one phase of the abor question in the United States that is of the utmost importance to the workers themselves.
 No law can compel the employment of any man, and no law can dictate what men shall be given work. At the same time it is hoped that the spirit of generosity. and a recognition of faithful service, will inspire the em- ployers of this country to provide in some way for men who are able to work in spite of having reached a cer- tain limit of years. The average work CT is not able to save much out of his weekly wages, and while he may be thrifty and steady he is yet compelled to spend what he receives as he goes along.
 Age that does not bring with it physi- cal incapacity should not be considered a bar to further employment. All things considered, however, the condition of the workers in this country is far su- perior to the conditions of their fellows in England and other parts of the world. The American workers are mentally superior to the men of any other country, and that is the secret of their productive capacity, their skill and their vigor.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, APRIL 15. 1902.

When Lieutenant General Miles is retired there will be little grief in Ari-
 zona. It will be no sur MILES prise to many people in THE the territory to learn SELFISH. that when Fort Whipple
 is reoccupied by fed eral troops it will be against the wishes of General Miles, and that no thanks in the premises are due to the general commanding the army Most old residents are familiar with the facts which led to the generals deep preju- dice against the territory. Miles all ways appeared to feel greatly hurt that sole credit was not given him in Arizona for the suppression of the hos tile Apaches. The people living here then knew that much of the credit was due to Crook, Lawton, and other brave officers of the army, and were not back ward in saying so. Like all men O. fussy, jealous and little minds, General Miles could not bear to share glory with others, and since Crook was espe- ciaIly popular at Prescott, that town has always been under Miles displeas- ure. It has counted for nothing with him that from every viewpoint Whip ple is the best site in the west for a military post.
 The truth is, that while General Miles is brave man and has an hon. orable military record, he is intensely -I,r l,i C-a1f qualified to fill with credit the high post which he has had the good luck to fill. Where public interests have run counter to his own prejudices or personal ambitions. he has considered himself first. It is something more than a coincidence that he was unable to get along pleasantly with President Cleveland and Secretary Lamont, Pres ident Mckinley and Secretary Alger. and, finally, with President Roosevelt and Secretary Root. And, while his press bureau. is vociferously pointing out the injustice" of retiring him at this time, it is not untimely to review his own lack of consideration for others. Indeed, he only succeeded to the command of the army by selfishly working an injustice to a brother off cer General Ord. In 1880 General Miles was an aspirant for higher rank He had such powerful friends as John Sherman, then secretary of the treas ury, and Don Cameron, then a senator from Pennsylvania. Miles and Cameron had married sisters, nieces of Sherman.
 At first an effort was made to have him appointed chief signal officer. but President Hayes had promised that post to General Hagen. Then Miles sug- gested that under the law the president could retire Brigadier General Ord, that officer having reached the age of 62 year. Pressure was brought to bear upon President Hayes. and. though MT. Hayes was reluctant to do so on ac- count of the injustice to Ord, soldier of many wars, he finally consented and issued the order for the retirement of

General Ord. Miles was named as his successor.
 General Ord begged his old friend, General Sherman, to have the retire ment order held up so that he might become major general on the retire ment of General Mcdowell. and then retire with that rank. Mcdowell was just three days older than Ord, and if matters had been permitted to take the ordinary course, each officer retiring at 64 years, and the senior brigadier be- ing promoted according to the princi- his opposition to the general staff bill. Ord would have succeeded Mcdowell.
 But General Miles and his friends were in a hurry for a promotion and General Sherman was forced to tele- graph his old friend that nothing could be done, as Miles name had been sent to the senate and could not be with drawn
 General Ord had nearly two years to serve before reaching the age limit. If deneral MlieS were 10 De reIlreQ Dy order of President Roosevelt now he would lose only year and four months Of active service. It has been often said that General Miles was a brigadier of volunteers before Theodore Roose welt was out of the nursery. If there is any virtue in this argument it might be added that General Ord had fought in three wars and was a brigadier gen. eral before Nelson A.

CREsCEUs' owNER's MULES.
Mr. Ketcham Will Hold Reins Oyer
 Team of Long Ears.

A dispatch from Toledo, O.. says: George W. Ketcham the uwnoY of Cresceus. the champion trotter of the world, purposes to take l:-a eCTy :-'Xt summer. He says he has lo?.g de-.red an outing to his taste. aEG las t., 'n In the first place, he has ordered q To- ledo firm to buy for him four of the finest mules in the market. They final ly picked out a quartet of beauties.
 The animals are now Quartered at the ketcham farm, where they will re- main until they are wanted. The next thing in order was harness, and this has been purchased. Mr. Ketcham has commissioned a carriage builder tO make him one of the finest wagons in the country. which will be something on the syrsy style. The vehicle is now in course of construction. and will have paraphernalia necessary for road trip. Mir Ketcham proposes to hitch his four mules to this wagon, and, ac- companied by his family and friend or two. drive where his fancy will lead him. He has not chosen any route but will tour westward and probably south, should the trip extend into the fall. The time Of starting has not yet been determined
 This is an odd fancy of the celebra ted breeder and driver, but he says he wants rest and recreation and does not intend to nave them in q commonplace manner.

would have been a lunatic or a crimi- nal. It is entirely consistent with the doctrines of these philosophers to say that an abnormal condition of the liver or stomach or other organs may dull or pervert the moral sense. This is also Helps, who was q close observer, thought simple fatigue was the cause of many of the blunders and follies of great men.
 It is quite reasonable to assume that a temporary dullness, or perversion of the moral sense, may be the cause of distinct functional disorders of the bodily organs. In this case the dis ease must require the attention of the parson rather than Of the physician just as in the other case the victim of a moral fault may require the ser vices of q physician. This close rela tionship between morals and disease is seen in hereditary influences. There are men who are born to belong to a particular religious society or a par ticular political party. There are others who. on becoming the victims of dis ease. are doomed to take certain views or moral questions. Everybody knows men who, by their different in heritances, could not belong to the same religious society or political party This leads to the belief that we may associate the course of politics with the health conditions of the country There is room for much speculation in relation to morals and disease as ef- feet and cause H -.

 At any rate. the con- spicuous feature of each new birth is healing without the aid of doctors or drugs. Cynical persons charge that Mrs. Eddy's stupendous financial gains are responsible for this feature It may be. however, that maladies, whether real or imaginary, are held to be re- sponsible for any lack of religious zeal, and that to cure disease is to restore the soul to health.
 It is time to remark that the doctrine of the close relations of morals and dis ease is not original with any Boston school of today. Plato urged eXperi- of physical ailments, and even insisted on the curative influence of music on diseases of the body and mind. Elmer son affirmed that every sick man is a rascal, which implies Q moral cause of disease.

The New York Sun has long been rec osnized as the corrector of the litera- ry style of the press, but it is thus ta- ken to task by the Hartford Courant: ''our esteemed contemporary, the New York Sun. varies its time between cor recting the vagaries of grammar among its contemporaries and making slips of it's own. that are entitled to considera- the purity of English. In yesterdays issue the Sun enquired skeptically what the Minneapolis Tribune meart by quite number Elswhere in the same sheet this astonishing statement was made in a discussion of the finan- cial conditions of the metropolis

Of course it does if ac- tually they are required to keep none at all. The situation would be serious indeed if our contemporary were cor rect; and possibly it is serious if such an authority is not correct. In either case, we await further informa tion."

j Some twelve years ago, when Rich-
ard Laverson was a low-grade work
er in Pittsburg engineering shed,
he hit upon a novelty in the shape Of
broochpins. He finished a few by
hand, and they seemed so much SUI
perior to the usual form of brooch
pin that he thought his fortune was
made: He set to work in his spare
time to. invent a machine which
would turn out broochpins for weld

wanted to form brooch, so that the

make any small trifle into a brooch
while his customer waited to see it
done.
Laverson spent weeks on his ma

borrowed money from any one who
would lend to him; yet the thing
would not do what he wanted. It
really seemed to him that an evil
spirit possessed the machine. Again
and again he abandoned it as hope

Novel Method in Utah to Ward Of.

The residents of Ephraim, Utah,
the agricultural center of San Pete
county, where the crops last year
were completely ruined by grasshop-
pers, have adopted a novel method
of exterminating the pest, which Z is
again threatening the crops. A series
of entertainments has been arranged

bushel of grasshoppers.
( The first entertainments dance
was held the other night, and seventy
five half bushels of grasshoppers were
presented to the ticket man at the
door. After the dance the choppers"
furnished fuel for a bonfire to prop
erly top off the occasion.
Everything possible is being done
to catch the young insects before they
begin to fly, and the citizens around
Ephraim have banded together, in one
army to fight them. A standing
bounty Of 81 a bushel has been Of
fered by the city officials for the
young "hoppers."

Boer Courtesy to
English Army Nurse

A curious incident befell an army
nursing sister while out riding alone
in the Northern Transvaal, close to
small town which has been held for
the past year by the English, says
the London Hospital. Two men on
horseback, dressed in what seemed to
her the uniform of our scouts rode
by. When they had gone a little fur
ther, they dismounted, and, taking
their rifles IN their hands, came up,
grasped the reins of her horse, and.
asked her if "she would like q walk, :,
Surprised at the question, she inquired
to what regiment they belonged.
Their answer made her aware that,
though claiming to be British, they.
were really Beers in disguise. The
men spoke to each other in Dutch,
and then one said to her.: I'VE are
Beers and we want your horse" The
sister, greatly distressed at the
thought of losing the animal, which
was borrowed, begged the men not to
take it. They replied that they were
very short of horses and required 1t
badly. 8 Expostu1ation proved un-
availing;; she had to give way with
