When lie Ci1issed Harry Myers
fron, the Sat Guard for Speak
ing lis Mind.

Maj. Gen. w. l. Haynes has this to
say regarding thSJacObsOn-Myers cor
espondence:
Il am solely rebonsible for Col. II.
II. Myers appointment in the guard.
1t was my idea TO feate, if practicable,
n0n-parusan orAniZatiOn, in which
the people of Arkansas should take
pride, hence it Wadthat not only had
Col. Myers commissioned, but at the
same time | had pther eminent Re-
publlcans, some ofWhom are at pres
ent affiiiating witt the ''insurgent"
Wing OF that party ylcOmmiSsiOn and
assigned to duty Ilong with Demo
Gratis on my staff. II had no thought
then of politics, mN wishes extending
only to the worth d men, and not to
perniciously active politicians, for the
official personnel d the Arkansas
state guard. 1t wa, with me, there
lore, most reasonable expectation
rnat every officer thus commissioned
would become true bldiers, governed
by rules and regulations which should
control every one of hs while holding
military commissions in the service
of the state.
Col. Myers we'll knowing my per.
sonal esteem for him, surely it was
to have been supposed a feeling of
like regard which he had always man.
ifested for his commanding general
would have caused him to tender his
resignation sprior to his spectacular
rehearsal Of recent campaign fabrica-
tions respecting his superior officer,
the governor and communicating chief,
since all of such misleading stories
have been spurned and stamped upon
by very large majority of the voters
Of Arkansas. Anyhow, it is inconceiv-
able to me how an officer of the guard
could expect that speech 1T Glenwood

Congress of Southern Neqrces.

Galveston. Texas, July with the
object of creating a better feeling be-
tween the races and fostering any
move for the uplifting of the negro,
several hundred delegates from all
parts of the South assembled here to-
day for the second annual meeting of
the Southern Negro congress. Since
the movement was inaugurated at a
meeting held last year at Jackson,
Miss, it has enlisted the hearty CO.
opera ,ion of many of the most promi-
nent negroes of the South and the large
and representative attendance at the
present meeting is evidence of the
widespread interest which the con.
gress has awakened. The chief mat
ters scheduled for discussion at the
four days sessions are the education
question, outrages and lynchings and
the negro in politics.

MALICE AND MEZcaL.

Some people seem determined
 that THE OASIS man shall be a candidate for office of some kind.
 No sooner had his friends denied that he was candidate for col lector of customs, than the story was started that he was after the Nogales postoffice. Now, Mir. Bird wants it plainly understood that he is not candidate for the Noga- les postoffice, nor for the collector ship, nor for the consulate, nor for the clerkship of the district court, nor for anything that looks like an office of any kind. The time to confer upon him any recognition of that sort has passed. And he has no patience with those who are continually thrusting him into public notice in such connection. The persistence with which 1t is being done is damnable. It can be only as the vagary of a mind muddled by malice and mezcal.

A MOVEMENT has been inaugur- ated to induce the legislature to make an appropriation for monu- ment to Captain "Bucky" O'Neill of the Rough Riders, killed at San tiago de Cuba. The proposition is one of merit and should prevail. Captain O'Neill was one of Ari- zona's foremost citizens, and sol dier of dauntless bravery. His loss was Arizona's sacrifice upon the altar of our country. The territory should commemorate his noble deeds and heroic self.sacritice in enduring granite, and TIE OASIS trusts that the legislature will make the necessary appropriation.

LABOR UNIONS AND MILITIA.

Recent happenings in New York
 have suggested some serious rehec- tions. A Schenectady painter was lately expelled from his labor union for the reason that he was a mem Der of the national guard. His em- ployers were then notified that the employees of the local union re- fused to work with him, and they were obliged to discharge him from their employ.
 It is also reported that a number of members of the national guard of Pennsylvania have been dis charged from their employment be- cause of their absence upon militia service during the anthracite coal strike.
 How far these examples are like ly to be followed by labor unions on the one hand and by employers on the other cannot now be deter mined. There seems to be some division of sentiment among the labor unions as to the propriety of the action of the Schenectady union and it is probable that most em- ployers would act differently from those referred to in Pen nsylvania. Without characterizing the conduct of either in this place, however, it may be well to point out that if action of this kind should become general, the militia, as at present constituted, would be very seriously crippled. That result would not, however, prevent general recogni- ton of the need of some force be- yond that represented by the police
 
 for the preservation of order in un- usual emergencies. It would, on the contrary, only hasten the pro- vision of so ..e agency for the pre- vention of disorder which would not be subject to the influences above referred to, for the maintain- ance of order is the supreme duty of government.
 The foregoing is taken from Bradstreet's, and very clearly pre- sents a statement that cannot fail to impress the thoughtful As the | journal quoted plainly says, "main- tainance of order Is the supreme duty of government" Our repub- ! lican form of government has ex- plicitly taken stand upon the proposition that there shall not be a great standing army, and that for maintainance of order the police and militia shall be the mainstay. The law makes every citizen cap- able of bearing arms a miIitiaman. If the country needs him, he is

uo not sulflce to Ill the quota oi
 any state, a draft is ordered and
 the necessary number taken from
 the enrolled militia of the state--
 and at such times all those liable
 to military duty are enrolled. Dur
 ing the civil war the draft was re- sorted to in filling the quota of sev-
 eral states.
 The maintainance of order being
 the supreme duty of government, it
 stands to reason that if the militia
 system fails some other must and
 will be substituted. That means
 not only subversion of the militia
 system but a subversion of the form
 of government it fails to support in
 that supreme duty. The labor unions should grasp that fact and shape their course accordingly. If they cripple the militia system they only pave the way to the sub- stitution of the regular for the militiaman, and the erection of government of force to regulate labor difficulties in the interest of the capitalistic classes.
 The true policy of the labor unions will be to uphold and main- tain the militia system. That is the corner stone of a republican form of government. The dignity of labor is the keystone of the arch. | Remove the cornerstone and the structure falls, with the keystone in the universal ruin.
 The American people are deter mined that the dignity of labor shall be upheld. In a recent ad- dress President Elliott of Harvard has enumerated five conditions which he declared to be humane conditions of employment-those to which laboring men may rightly aspire. First, a rising wage, based on increased experience, attain ments and age; second, steady em- ployment after adequate probation; .hird, the opportunity for the work ngman to establish a permanent nome; fourth, conditions which en- lble him to give his employer gen. ,rous service and to take pride in t; fifth, the right to pension on disability, which gives throughout fife relief from one great anxiety, md that public consideration which yoes with steady job and a self though humble career.
 The conditions laid down by President Eliot are the demands which the best thought of the day 5 framing in the interest of the workers. With those five condi- ions realized life for them would ose it's harshness, and their value nd worth as citizens would be really increased. But to precipi- { ate an issue against the militia ystem, and cause substitution herefor of great standing army, yould be to undo all the advance < lent heretofore made by organized 6 lbor, and to turn back for cen lries the progress of free govern lent.

glass.
Sundials or "gnomons" were the first
instruments used in measuring time.
and there is but little doubt that the
long granite pillars which We call obe-
lisks were used by the Egyptians il
not as actual sundial hands. at least
for some astronomical observations of
the movement of the sun.
Clepsydras or water clocks and sand
clocks came next in order. The flow
of sand through small orifice is an
accurate method of measuring time.
for the exit of the sand is always reg

laws of hydrostatics; when the vase is
full the water runs out faster than
when it is nearly empty.
Candle clocks. or tapers on which

were also used, and their invention is
attributed to Alfred the Great but
this method is even more susceptible
of error than the previous ones
In most large cities a public record
OF the flight of time seems to have
been kept by some method or other.
In 1886 St. Pauls in London paid
salary to an orologiaro who kent
record of time; and in 1871 we find
one employed at Westminster palace
to attend to the clock. The first por-
table clocks are attributed to Ger.
man named De Souable. and are sup
posed to have been made in 1900; but
1t is not till 1880 that we find mention
OF a clock made SO that "he might

Lost the Lords Nickel

A little boy who goes to Sunday
school every Sunday always receives a
nickel from his father to place in the
collection plate. Last Sunday his
father gave him two nickels. saying,
"One is for the Lord and the other
is for yourself AS it was too early
to start for Sunday school the little
boy sat on the porch steps in the warm
sunshine playing with the two nickels.
After a while he dropped one of them
and it disappeared down a crack.
Without a moments hesitation and
still clutching the remaining coin in
his clenched fist, he looked up at his
father. exclaiming, "Oh. pop There
goes the Lords nickel"

negroes look upon them with con-
tempt They became a class by them
selvcs-a distinct and perhaps the
most lliterate and degenerate type of
white humanity in the country.
The chief ambition of the men Is
to procure whisky and tobacco and of
the women to get snuff and gaudy
colored cheap fabrics. The men VIII
not work and the women perform the
labor necessary to exc out the scanty
livelihood of the families. The mat
ter of providing sfor the households
causes them little uneasiness. Corn
and sweet potatoes form the principal
food and the corn stalks furnish most
of the fuel. Bacon and corn-pone are
the staples in every home. and all that
many families live on for months at
time. Owing to their poor and un-
wholesome food they are weak and
unhealthy The mortality among
them is very high. Excesses in the
use OF intoxicants and snuff have had
much to do in bringing about this
condition. Malaria is also prevalent
and epidemics are not infrequent.
Such results are sure to follow where
no attention is paid to sanitary con-
ditions.
Their dwelling places are nothing
more than shanties and they seem to
be averse to having them made com
Portable. The more rickety and un-
inviting they are. the better the
Crackers are pleased. They seem
to prefer to have them leaky and SO
filed with holes and rents that they
can not be heated during the cold
spell The furniture is always crude
and scanty. Often large family ex-
lists in a hovel OF only one room. The
beds are usually made of corn husks.

is enjoyed The cooking Is often
done in large kettle in the yard.
