This noise and bombast excites the
enmlty and envy, not only OF South
ern white men, but of Northern white
men, who are not so enamored Of the
Negro as their fathers were. It en-
barrases and sometimes hinders the
lappoIntive power from doing even
more for it than it is doing. What we
need more than anything else except
money and "Hoss'' sense, is a liberal
supply of nlOdeSty. If we could stop
cackling for a year, and let events
eventuate, politically and otherwise,
1.-THE enemy wouldn't know so much
| about our movements, intentions and
prospects. The Hebrews are pretty
good at capturing and holding offices
in this state, but they don't make any
noise about it; they just get the office
| The President of the borough of Man
| haitian, Hon. Jacob Canter is a He
brew and very fine gentleman, yet no
Hebrew organization has deemed it
necessary to acquaint the world of the
fact of his Hebrew origin. He is
simply a man, in mans place, doing
mans work. If he were a Negro his
fool friends would make him a target
for attack by their indiscreet bOaStings
and "jackassical pufferoonery" of
him.
| have said that this Negro question,
so-called, was never more acute than
it is at present.
Not only the Democratic press, but
some of the great Republican newSpa-

ed against us by the Presidents ac-
tiOn in the Crum case and his manly
reply to eX-RepreSentative Hemphill,
of South Carolina and his accOmplice
in their conspiracy to defeat the nomi
nation of Crum and ultimately his con-
firmation by the Senate. The Demo

cry indication that we are drifting into
such a mentatl state in the republic Of

THE NEW DEAL.

No mining deal in this district dur ing the past year has attracted SC much local attention in Blsbee as the sale of the Twilight group. as report ed in Sundays Review This is because of the general confidence of the pub lie in the value of the properties. They are very near the Copper Queen. only higher up on the same hill. It Is the general prediction that these claims will prove to be the equal of any in the district, though perhaps the ore bodies may not be reached as near the surface. The sale of this property has brought the Modern into some prominence, as the Modern is very near the Twilight. Many experienced mining men in this district are still unshaken in the good opinion of the Modern. which has good ore bodies giving promise of good camp when development work Is judiciously ap- piled.

 Bill Jenkins, an old time prospecto- in this district and who has vast in terests in the properties of the Home Copper company, was in from the mines this week He reports that the mines are looking well and encour- aging results are constantly being ob- tained.
 MT. Shomerhorn, an extensive lead zinc miner of Joplin, Missouri. spent several days here last week looking over some property in which he is in terested with Frank Weaver. one of the best miners in the country. Mfr. Shomerhorn expressed himself as greatly pleased with the property. and will furnish the sinews of war for the development of the property on an extensive scale
 A considerable amount of the ore taken from the Metcalf mines of the Arizona Copper company is practically quarried down from the sides of the mountain. then brought out through the tunnel to the incline. About two weeks ago one shot was fired which knocked down ,50O tons of ore, which will keep the men busy sorting for some time to come A twenty-five foot hole was put down and trimmed out until it held several kegs of black powder. which was fired with the above results. This, the Era under stands. is the largest amount of ore ever knocked down at one shot in the district. l. illustrates how cheaply ore can be mined under favorable con ditions.
 Alex White a well known miner. is home from the Steeple Rock district of New Mexico. where he worked in the mines for a short time. He reports a very peculiar phenomena in some of the mines of that section. In the mine in which he worked at depth of lsc feet the heat is so intense as to prohibit development work. He drilled an IS inch hole, and sort of gas and steam came up which was scaIding hot, and work there had to be abandoned. Tn other mines in the camp at a depth Of 800 and 100 feet the heat is not so great, but he says all oi the mines have beer getting hot lately He does not pretend to account for Ithfs strange state of affairs. but thinks | it probable that artesian water is be ing forced up through the earth ir that ection.

This fact is due to the original and

our government was fOundedfl and
which trust shah endure for all time

While the laws comprising the found
alton Of other countries were adopted
on the idea OF the divine right Of kings
and were framed for the purpose OF
insuring the safety of their people
from outside aggressions, the govern
ment Of our country was founded on
the definite and declared principles Of
eternal Justice, that all men are Gre
ated equal; that all power is inherent
In the people; that all just elements
derive their authority from the COZ
sent of the governed and each indi-
vidual, is, and should he guaranteed in
the protection of his inherent rights of
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness."
United States of America, the fore
most country of all the nations on
the earth. let it be said to our credit
was the first nation of the world to
enact a national law providing that
on all governmental work eight hours
should constitute a days work: car
rying out in this regard that which
was unmistakeable the will and inten-
ton of our Creator that the TWENTY
four hours in each day should be so
divided that we would have eight
hours for work, eight hours for sleer
and eight hours recreation and the
development OF our intellectual facul-
ties.
While it is true that the rights of
labor are being seriously affected by

ncient reasons to base the belief that
