A story OF the Great war Secretary
as Told by His BOdyGuard.
An attempt by Secretary Of Wat
Stanton to cook, az Irish stew while
holding the war department ONCE
against the removal order Of Presiden,
Andrew johnson Is one Of many anec-
dotes related by Louis Koerth, at the
period mentioned the great war secre.
tary's bodyguard.
Feb. 81, 1868, President johnson ap-
pointed General Lorenzo Thomas sec
retary OF war nd interim, but the pow
err Of removal having been taken by
the tenure Of Office act from the presi.
dent, MFR. Stanton refused to resign or
10 vacate the office OF secretary.
He camped In the Office, determined
to hold 1t until the result OF the Inn
peachment proceedings against the
president. which were then pending In
the senate, should be determined. For
sixty days MFR. Stanton held ''the fort"
and during that period his faithful
bodyguard, ex-Sergeant Louis Koerths
then In the United States general serv-
Ice, assigned to the war department.
kept him company.
On the day In which Mr.. Stanton re-
ceived the official notification of his
removal by the president he made Inn
mediate preparations for a siege. He
dispatched Sergeant Koerth to Mrs.
stanton for blankets and pillows, but
that lady refused TO send them, insist
ing that the secretary should come
home and give up the Office.
Mr.. Stanton smiled on receiving her
message and simply said:
"Koerth, 20 TO your own house and
bring blankets, pillows and such cook
ing utensils as we may need"
The Irish stew was the first effort
OF the secretary and his bodyguard.
Koerth. being n German, needed In
structlons in the mysteries OF prepar-
ing the savory stew, and the secretary
named the various ingredients, which
he ordered the servant to purchase.
Both men had spent busy and la
borlously exciting day, and both were
tired out when the pot was put on the
fire TO cook the stew.
The consequence was that the great
war secretary and his bodyguard fell
asleep. The secretary was the first TO
be awakened by the smell Of the burn
ing stew.
"Koerth, Koerth! Wake up, man.
shouted Mr.. Stanton. "The stew is
burning"
Koerth sprang TO his feet, but alas,
too late TO save Mr.. stanton's Irish
stew IL was burned and smoking,
while the pot was a glowing red. Rue
fully the secretary rolled himself up In
his blankets on the sofa and went 70

EXPERTS IN WOOD
The old violin Makers and the MATE
rial They Used.


rial They Used.
The great Violin makers all lived
within the compass OF 100 years. They
chose their wood from few great tim
bers felled in the south TyrOl and
hcated down In rafts--pine and maple,
sycamore, pear and ash. They en-.
amined these to ind streaks and veins
and freckles, valuable superncially
when brought out by vanishing.
They learned to tell the dynasty OF
the pieces OF wood by touching them.
They weighed them, they struck them
and listened to judge how fast OF how
slow or how resonantly they would
vibrate In answer to strings. Some
portions OF the wood must be porous
and soft. some close Of fiber. Just the
right beam was hard to hnd. When
found, II can be traced all through tina
viollns of some great master and after
his death In some Of his pupils.
The piece Of wood was taken home
and seasoned, dried In the hot Brescis
and Cremona sun. The house of Strad,
lvarlus. the great master OF all, Is dc
scribed as having been as hot as an
oven. The wood was there soaked
through and through with sunshine.
In this great heat tho oils tlnnned and
simmered slowly and penetrated faI
into the wood until the varnish became
n part OF the wood itself.
The old violin makers used to save
every bit Of the wood when they found
what they liked to mend and patch and
inlay with II. So vibrant and 10 rcso-
nant is the wood OF good old vioIina
that they murmur and echo and sing In
answer to any sound whore numbes
OF them hang together on the wall. as
II rehearsing the old music that they
oLe5 knew.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-02-24

should turn deaf ear to the entreaties of the vanquished foe. There is no just reason for enforcing any such compromise on Arizona By virtue of right, and the following of all estab- lished pTecedents, Arizona is entitled to admission as an independent state.
 Laying aside the matter of justice, right and the fulhllment of party pledges, Arizona is this week facing a grave crisis in its history. For twenty years our people have been struggling for statehood. Our feet are now on the threshold and no mistake must be made
 If it is apparent to the friends of statehood. now at Washington, that it will be impossible for Arizona to ob- tain independent statehood at this session, we believe 1t expedient for Arizona to accept the compromise of fered. True, it means statehood un- der trying circumstances at first, but ultimately the free enjoyment of an independent government. The compro- mise measure should be carefully framed, providing that by Presidents proclamation a census be taken in Ari- zona whenever it is apparent that the population has reached the SO0,OoO mark.
 The acceptance of the last compro- mise offered means ultimate state hood for Arizona, sure, and certain in all probability not longer than five years hence. The rejection means con tinued uncertainty, and in the end an other dismal failure. Arizona can af- ford to put away her pride for five years in order to gain the prize for which she has struggled so long.

The Twenty-second legislature has passed the poll tax law, introduced by Assemblyman Webb, of Graham coun- ty. In many respects the new law is similar to the one on the statute books of Arizona prior to 1900. It provides for the collection of the poll tax by the employer from the employee and where the tax x-payer possesses real es- tate the poll tax becomes a lien on the property, the same as any other taxes. The law will result in much benfit to the public schools of Arizona. The poll tax is school tax.

ATTACKED ON BOTH SIDES

Talking about MT Hanna's indis- erect bill to pension ex-slayes, the Washington Star says it is the humble and ignorant negro living, to use an expression from his environment, liar from the big roaSi,' who is likeliest to be imposed upon in this matter. He has but the cloudiest notions about even nearby things About things at a distance, and especially about the business of congress, he knows noth- ing. He has a few dollars, earned in the profuse sweat of his face, laid by. He would be glad enough, of course, to receive assistance from the govern ment; and convince him that it is on the way, and needs to be accelerated in its passage by a small contribution from him to an intermediary, and the money is almost certain to be forth coming He is the only one who should be told at as early day as possible that no money from the government awaits him, or may be expected from the activity of any of the people who are offering to serve him.
 Between the politicians who want to drive him out of the country and the sharpers and sentimentalists who are trying to saddle him on the govern -r-E- be filled with conflicting emotions.

THE LATEST
 COMPROMISE MEASURE

The opponents to the Omnibus state hood bill have come forward with an- other compromise measure. This last one embodies the proposition to ulti- mately create an independent state out of the territory now embraced in Ari- zona. The stipulation of the proposed agreement is that Arizona shall enjoy the privileges of statehood when it shall have attained a population of 1000. In the meantime, MT. Bev. eridge and his followers propose that Arizona shall be attached to New Mex. leo.
 It is noticeable that DO provision is made in the compromise measure for a special census of Arizona. Without this census, Arizsna would be com pelled to wait until the census of 1910 before it's population could be enumeT ated, and judging by the present rate of increase, Arizona would have the imposed necessary population long be, fore that date.
 Judging by the willingness of the bitter opponents to the Omnibus state hood bill to agree to the above out lined compromise. it may be reasona bly inferred that the opposition is weakening and is endeavoring to picE out a soft place to fall. If such be the case, Senator Quay and Mark Smith

NO TIME
 FOR TRIFLlNG.


 FOR TRIFLING.
 The Review believes that the Demo cratic members of the present legisla- ture realize the importance of several bills pending before that body from a Democratic standpoint There, is no plotting out the fact that the Demo cratic party is on trial. In convention assembled it made specific pledges to the laboring men of this territory, blanks were inserted in the Democrat !c platform for which the laboring men contended, and on this platform the Democratic party of arizona went before the people, asking for their suf- frage. The party was successful. It has been placed in power in both branches of the legislature and the labcring men of Arizona are now look ing for the fulillment of the party pledges. The Review, in this instance, is speaking particularly of the eight hour law. The laboring men are in earnest about this bill Democratic stump speakers, during the campaign. tod the voters in this territory that the pledges of the Democratic party, regarding the eight-hour law, would be fulfilled The Democratic party is on record in Arizona as fulfilling its platform pledge. When the Democratic voters read the platform they believed it and cast their votes for the legisla- tive candidates of that party. These same voters are now looking to Democratic legislature to fulfill its platform pledges; to meet its honest obligations, and to establish anew that faith and confidence in the party of the people, which in the past has been the solid rock of foundation on which has been builded many substantial and lasting victories.
 The cunning of the Republican press of Arizona, just at the present writing, is very noticeable. They are so good butter won't melt in their hungry mouths. The Democratic legislator is being patted on the back. Just at present he is prince of good fellows and the kindly feeling will last just so long as the Democratic member fails to fulfill his party pledges and the legislature adjourns. The Republican press is very well satisfied with the Twenty-second legislature so far. but there is dark, ulterior motive in their gladness.
 The action of the present Democratic legislature will influence, to a great extent, the success of the Democratic party two years hence although the Republican party has long ago estab- lished the precedent of broken plat form pledges. Arizona Democrats can not afford to follow their lead. It means ignoble defeat in the end and justly so. Any party that wilfully mis- leads the rank and file of that party should be chastised. Democrats be- lieye that platform pledges are made to be kept and the Twenty-second leg islature should by their actions, aid in firmly establishing this great truth.
 The Review believes that the Twen- ty-second legislature will not endang- CT the success of the party by its fail ure to pass the eight-hour law. Other states have adopted this measure with benefit to the laboring man, and with out injuring property interests. The time is growing short, gentlemen of the council. Send us the news by wire.
