Will Date Graham Be Punished {?

In strong editorial denunciatory of the killing of Ephraim Smith by Con- stable Date Graham at Douglas, the Guardian says:
 'Such crime, on the part of an of. ficer is an outrage and disgrace to civilization, and should meet with prompt and sure punishment. But will it ?
 "The steps thus far taken indicate that Graham is to be protected and not punished. According to the story told by eye-witnesses and Graham's own admission, it was cold-blooded mur- der and its perpetrator should have been held without bond.
 Unless something is done to put a stop to such crimes it will be necessary to protect people on our southern bor der against the officers.

"There are too many so-called states men who do things purely for political effect" says the Prescott Courier "What is needed, and badly needed, is more men who will do things be. cause they are right, regardless of the craze of the hour or the fad of the season. It does not require any par ticular mental brilliancy to know what is right, but it does seem as if it re. quires an unusual brand of backbone in public affairs to do it or to even ad. voeate its being done

The Boston girl who imprinted six continuous smacks on the lips of Sir Thomas Lipton is now inclined to hope that Lipton will carry over the cup, and she has half an idea that she might be willing to accept the name of Liptou and go along in the same ship with the cup. Many Americans will share the sentiments of this young lady, except that they would prefer that Sir Thomas would take the girl, if need be, but leave the cup. Boston has girls to spare, but American cups are not SO common as to be easily lifted.

The Salt River Valley Water Users association certainly have reason to feel gratitied by their success in secur Ing, after many months of earnest and continuous effort and in the face of persistent and formidable opposition. signatures to thelr articles of agree ment to insure the construction of the Ionto dam, representing in the aggre- gate nearly 100000 acres of land un- der the various canals in Salt river valley. However, the secretary of the interior is yet te pass on the sulficiency o. the security thus offered by the land interests of the valley before the government will undertake the work, and, as we are credibly informed by a high official of the geological survey, considerable proportion of the land represented on the books of the Water Users association has been signed in larger lots than 160 acres, which is contrary to the government reouire- ment. Doubtless way will be found to overcome this difficulty, so that act ual construction word on this great IT, rigation enterprise may begin in Oc. tober.

The vitiated public opinion preya lent in CochIse county has received fresh complication in the failure of two iuries to convict the notorious out law, Burt Alvord, of complicity in the Fairbank and Cochise train robberies, notwithstanding the evidence was direct and overwhelming. The jurors who stood for the acquittal of Alvord in the Fairbank case availed themselves of the only possible excuse in defense of such action by declaring that they were unwilling to accept the testimony of the conyicts who testified against the defendant. The court severely cen sured the two jurors, James and Fitz- gerald, who held to this position, stat ing that it rested with the court and not with the jurors to say what testi mony should be accepted. The offend ing jurors were both arrested and brought before the court on the charge of perjury, but were discharged for lack of evidence to sustain the charge. Alvord will not escape the tolls just yet, as his bond has been fixed at S9, which he is unable to give, and he will have to remain in jail until the next term of the United States court at Tombstone.

Leo XliI.

Probably the most remarkable thing in connection with the demise of Leo XIII. is the almost universal esteem in which he was held throughout the christiun world, as evidenced by the widespread and profound expressions of regret and the splendid euiogies called forth from distinguished men regardless of creed, among whom are the representatives of protestant churches. Leo is extolled for his good ness of heart, his wisdom, his zeal for christianity, his profound learning and eminent statesmapship As q promi- nent methodist divine, of New York, has well said ;
 Leo has known no nationality, and has been interested in all Deprived of temporal power, he has possessed n greater power, dynamic that has con- trolled the hearts of men and shaped, in many instances, the policies of mon- arobies and republics He has restored the golden age of the papacy in it's best sense. As philanthropist, poet, educator and reformer, the name of Leo XIII. will be placed among the very great, if not the greatest, popes in history"

Attempted Assassination at W aIker

A bad state of affairs exists in the Walker district, Yavapai county. Fol lowing the attempt to run the men guarding the Poland tunnel from theIr posts, mention of which Is made else where in this issue, warrants were sworn out for Roy Jones and Henry Pitts, who had their examinations at Poland last Thursday and were held to answer to the grand jury. On the fol lowing night, about am, an attempt was made to assassinate W. $. Conner, an old-time miner and prospector of of Lynx creek, who was on guard at the Poland tunnel. As he stepped out into the light from the engine-room there was report of rifle and the bullet from 30-30 winchester whizzed past his head, burylng itself in the timbers of the building The would be assassin made his escape in the dark ness.
 There is a serious division among the miners of that district, a number of them having withdrawn from the Western Federation because of its rad, ical course, and formed an independent union know as the Prospectors' alli- ance. MT. Conner is an active member of the new union, which is assigned as the reason for the cowardly attempt to kill him.
 All the properties being worked on Lynx creek at present are compelled to employ armed guards. There are a great many idle men in the district without means and free soup house has been opened at Walker.
 Assassination is the weapon of the coward and defeat is certain to over. take the cause in behalf of which it is employed. Public opinion in America abhors assassination and execrates the assassin.

MRS. SAGE TO AMERICAN GIRLS.
A Fervld Plea That Is Not Likely to Be
 Heeded.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Just as the fair daughters in Americas s
 smart set'' who are denied the oppor-
 tunity of meeting our robust, self-sup-
 porting type of young men. have con-
 cluded to pin their matrimonial aspira-
 tions to a duke or a baron or count
 along comes a vigorous and peppery ad-
 monition from Mrs Russell Sage.
 Like her distinguished husband. Mrs.
 Sage has stuck close to this country. She
 believes in America. With the blood of
 Miles Standish flowing in her veins and the visible fruits of her husbands faith
 in this country flowing in golden stream into her venerable husbands coffers, it is natural that she should view the matri- monial alliance with titled foreigners with apprehension and disgust
 She pictures in graphic language the evils of these alliances and pleads with the American cirl to wed at home" She appeals to their sense of patriotism and national pride. It may be true that Amer ican wives are needed Ito infuse new life
 into the British nobility, but as. Mrs. Sage very aptly says. we are not inter- ested in the upbuilding of the British em- pire. The real danger of the "interna- tional marriages" says Mrs. Sage. lis in | the fact that the bride, in her allegiance | to another-her husbands country-may I forget her own"
 | Of course, Love will laugh at Mrs. Sage. as it has laughed for centuries at lock | smiths. iails, irate parents, moralists, and other obstacles in it's way. If a titled for | eigner. or even a foreigner without a | title and an American girl fall in love with each other national pride'' will be | thrown to the winds And suppose the
