DO the People Want More Taxes

We perceive an effort is being made
by some unthinking members of the
Legislature to increase the salaries in
the attorney generals office. The at
torney general now receives salary
of $1,000 per annum. Some Legislators
want to raise it to 5000
We remember the time when the
great state of New York, with popu-
lation of over 1000, 900. considered a
salary of $500 sufficient for All attor-
ney general. The attorney general
ship was considered the highest honor
to which lawyer could attain in the
Empire State. In those better days
of the republic, lawyers were willing
to work in great positions for very
small salary. At the present day the
salary il considered first and the hon.
or il regarded as secondary.
The present taxes are all that the
people feel inclined to endure. The
increase of salaries evidently tends to
augment taxation. In the olden days
member of the Legislature of New
York did not consider it his duty to
propose an increase in the salary Of
some favorile official as soon az he
took his seat in the Legislature at
Albany.

Canyon Diablo being thirty miles.


 An inquest was held and the coro- ner's jury returned the following ver- dict: "We, the jurors, summoned to inquire into the cause of the death of the man found on the mesa, near the junction of Grapevine and Diablo Canyons, in Coconino County, Ari- zona, do find the body to be that of Wm. J. Berry, of Nevada, Vernon County Mo-, aged about 60 years, and that he came to his death at the spot where the body now lies, and was found, and that his death was caused by extreme exposure about the date of the early fall, in the year 19O0."
 Papers and letters were found on the body that were convincing proof that the dead man was Wm. J. Berry, for whom his son had searched so long and his search proved unavail- ing.
 In May 1900 Wm. J. Berry, accom- panied by his daughter and her hus- band left Nevada, Mo, for Las Vegas, N. M., travelling by team, after re- maining in that place short time they left for Albuquerque, at that place the daughter remained to await the finding of permanent stopping

A MYSTERY CLEARED
The Body of Wm. ]. Berry Found Near Grapevine Canyon - Disappeared In
 August 1900 Died from Exposure

On Saturday last Deputy Sheriff Walker received a letter from P. Fl. Goesling, of Winslow, stating that he had found the body of a man on Grapevine Canyon, near the intersec- tion of that canyon with Canyon DiablO.
 Mir. Goesling is sheepman. and partner of J. X. Woods in the wool growing business, and while out hunt ing for stray sheep he came across the body. The boGy was in a fair condition and the clothing still held together. The body was found on Friday of last week, and MT. Goesling went to Winslow and notified the sheriff of this county of hs gruesome find.
 Monday, Coroner Quinlan and Deputy Sheriff Walker lett for the Grapevine Canyon, at Canyon Diablo they were joined by F. w. Eolz and Mir. Goesling. The distance So the place where the body was found from

place by the father and husband. They proceeded on their journey to Gallup, where the son-inlaw, tiring of the journey returned to Albuquerque and joined his wife, and they returned to their Missouri home.
 Mir. Berry continued on his journey to Prescott, where he had son living.
 He was last seen in Holbrook in the latter part of August 1900. Not know ing the country he took the wrong road and it led him through wild country, in which at that season of the year there is but little water and it is supposed that he died from thirst.
 The Prescott son searched the coun- try for his missing father, but no trace could be found of him after leaving Holbrook. The finding of the body will be a relief to the relatives, al- though they were satisfied that death had overtaken him somewhere on the desert.
 There were no marks on the body indicating violence, and there is no doubt of the cause of his death being from exposure. The body was buried where it was found.

The South keeps some of it's thugs
and bullies at home, and sends it's
trained phraae-makers North, to con-
done and defend the iniquities which
make its name byword and a kissing
among the civilized and christlanized
people of the world. Like the Jesuits
Of the Roman Catholic Church, these
representatives of the South are every
where present; in the North and when
ever their peculiar civilization is at
tackled they are ready with plausible
Cd explanations and excuses for white
deViltry } at the South. One of these
missionaries recently took DR.. Park
hurst to task for referring 70 the
southern people as barbarians. The
reference was not misapplied, but this
defender of southern customs and me-
thods of dealing with Negroes, thought
it was and said SC, offering in explana-
tion OF the acts of barbarlsm complain
ed Of by DR.. Parkhurst, that they were
inevitable in certain atrocious crimes,
because of the emotions of human ma
ture." He admitted that the grand
father clause in some of the new con-
stitutiOns is aimed at the blacks and
asserted that this policy was due to po-
litical conditions and afforded no war
rant fer DR.. ParkhurStS sweeping de-
claration that condition of barbarism
exists in the South The conspiracy
against the Negro seems to be systema-
tically organized.

that in the republic of brains, no one
race can have a monopoly of that

suppression of the Negro as a political
integer.

Republic itself, viz: 1--WE, the people
of the United States, in order to form
a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility. provide
for the common defence, promote the
general welfare, and secure the bless
ings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity, do ordain and establish this
constitution for the United States of
America"
Either this sentiment does not
square with the Governor of Georgia s
ideas or his ideas do not square with
it.
If the honorable and exclusive exec
utive of Georgia lis familiar with the
history of our constitution, he must
have known when he uttered the re-
marks which, to say the least. do
not indicate broad craftsmanship, that
the Negro had something to do with
the making of that instrument and
that the I'VE the people" of the trainers
of it comprehended the black citizens
of the Republic who voted for the dele
gates in at least five states of the
union, who helped to ratify and adopt
it.
The constitution of the United
States IS therefore as sacred and dear
to the hearts of its Negro citizens. as
it is to white citizens of the North and
South, who labor under the impression
that the Negro has no lot or part in
it, and had nothing to do with the
making of it The destiny of the Ne
gro is indissolubly linked to the destiny
of the Republic.

part of the Democratic scheme to
solidify their party, and to find a
northern Democrat-preferab a New
Yorker-around whom a solid Demo
cratic party will rally In 1904.
If Negroes are permitted any more
political right in the South than they
now enjoy this will mean a
large addition to the majority
OF the Republican candidate for
President, whoever he may be, and the
support of more than 5000 Negro
voters IN twenty-one states in the
North who have seen enough Of the
SCuth's methods within the past four
years to convince them of the wisdom
of standing by the Republican party.
That there is method in the madness
of these outraged southern gentle
men, who journey to the great north
ern centres of commerce and business
to advise northern Democrats CT the
needs of the South, and jolly Republi-
can officials with lefthanded cOmpli-
ment and covert suggestions as to
their political future, is made clear by
the recent eloquent, able but not al
together tactful speech of the Governor
Of Georgia who seemed to have been
laboring under the impression that this
world was made for Caesar and his
queens.
The Governor labored strenuOusly to
lay down the proposition that there is
a superior race in this country and
that it's superiority will be best demon
strated by its ability to suppress weak
er or inferior races, as he was pleased
to denominate them, and this in the
face of a declaration as old as the

The Governor of Georgia, in an elO-
Quent address before the Georgia socie-
ty, at their banquet in New York City,
recently, declared with satanic assur-
ance, that Withholding nothing from
any inferior race that may be, or that
may hereafter come among our people,
in the way of all the essentials of life,
liberty and prosperity, and a full need
of justice in all matters relating to
their Well-beirg we should educate our
children in the great central thought
that the best and most enduring Amer
icanism is founded upon the unyielding
rock of Caucasianlsm. The best way
TO add TO our cOuntry's strength is to
incUlcuate lofty ideas of superiority;
just as the surest way to encompass
our land in doubt, and strife, and
gloom, is to encourage low ideas of
equality" This brazen utterance was
for the benefit of President Roosevelt
whose lofty ideals of constitutional
liberty do not find favor at the South
just now. This eloquent and highly
enlightened missionary from Georgia
has thus in a single paragraph told
New Workers what Georgia and the
ten other rebel states think of the Man
in the White House at Washington,
who in his famous estimate of the
worth and value of men to the state
has adopted the well-knOwn words of
the great Sir Francis Baily who said:
ITO genius. moral worth, and public
service, | render due honor. and l care
not whether the claimant to that honor

of a peasant. whether he obtained his
