PARKER DOCKS HIS HORSES.

4 half tone picture of Judge Parker sitting astride of a horse adorns the art supplement of Sundays Buffalo Courier. The judge looks we'll on horse back, and the animal bears its distinguished burden with ease and dignity. But the effect of the pie ture, while pleasing in a general way, is marred by a revolting dis closure The horse is docked. In place of the flowing tail provided by nature is a mis erable apology for a tail in the form of a short haired stump. It is not to the credit of Judge Parker that he favors this abominable mutilation. President Roosevelt recently issued a righteous pronouncement against docking horses. The operation is horribly cruel and the result is both deform- ity and a robbery of the horse of his defense against flies. Mans inhuman-
 ty to beast makes countless thousands mourn and it is to be regretted that a candidate for president of the United States should be numbered among the upholders of an inexcusable form of torture. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Whether it is best for the public to be dependent upon a few large concerns for its supplies of the neces- saries of life is que stion which is beginning to attract serious atten- tion. The present highly organized condition of important industries as meat packing. food canning, coal mining etc. may be the outcome of American genius and concentration of capital and so long as the machine runs smoothly there may not be much reason for complaint. But the present strike of the butchers and the conse- quent stoppage of supplies calls at tentIon to the fact that there should be local supplies at hand for the pub lie. Cattle may be raised in every state in the union; with little etxra industry every owner of a plot of ground might raise his own vege- tables. Possibly the extreme of com pines and trusts has been reached and Hereafter the individual will become more independ ent.

SIMILARITY OF LANGUAGES.

A woman from Muskogee, Indian territory, who is one sixteenth Creek Indian, while at the St. Louis expo siiton was surprised to ascertain that she was able to converse with the Igorrotes there, from the Philippine islands, in the Creek tongue. The Creek language and that of the Igor rotes was found to be almost identical.
 She talked to an Igorrote an hour. He could not understand a word of English but could carry on a con- versation Tn Creek readily enough. Mrs. Merrick did not ask question that he could not answer, nor that he failed to understand The Igorrote asked her many questions and the conversation, according to her state ment was carried on almost as easily as if she were addressing a Creek Indian.
 The Igorrote said she was the only person outside the small band brought over from the Philippines that he has seen who spoke his language. He was very much surprised when she told him that it was the language of the Creek Indians
 This discovery seems to indicate that in ages past the Igorrotes and the North American Indians must have been of one common blood. The Igorrote asked her to repeat many questions. Meantime the rest of the small band of Igorrotes gathered around and listened eagerly to the conversation. All understood what the woman said, and made comments which she undestood.

WOULD ESCHEW POLITICS.

A great many citizens of this county, of both political parties who think more of good economical government than they do of politics favor pon- partisan ticket for the legislature. That is a ticket composed of two first class democratic citizens and two of the same class from the republican party There are plenty of men in both parties who would make good legislators but the trouble is they are not willing to come out and make the campaign for the position. As two supervisors are elected each year there is some talk also that one should be elected from each party. The present board which is unanimously democratic has been a great dirap- pointmen to the rank and file of the party as its administration has been marked by the wanton expenditure of money regardless of the needs of the county and gross mismaDagement, to call it by no more serious name, in other respects. Professional poli- ticians however, place partisan poli- tics above the public good and it is probable that n either of the sugges- tions will be acted upon. The same pre-convention talk has been heard before but nothing came of it except talk.

Democrats are making strenuous efforts to introduce the race question in the present campaign. A demo- cratic exchange says that Mir. Roose- welt started the movement in that direction when he invited Booker T. Washington to br eak bread with him. Now is not that pretty far fetched premise for the basis of a political issue in a campaign. If every guest the president entertains at dinner is to form an issue in the policy of a political party, then politics are getting down to pretty fine point.

SENATOR BARD AND ARIZONA.

There has been a deal of foolishness in southern Arizona, led and instigat- ed by an interested and demagogic press of democratic persuasion, over the question of Senator Bard's re- election in California. Because, for sooth, he did not see fit to vote tor statehood for Arizona, the would-be democratic officebolders of Arizona attempt to hold him up as the terri tory's enemy, and the bunch proceeds to butt into California politics. It has been in bad taste. 1t has been none of our business. And it has been impolitic, as well, for Bard is chair man of the senate committee on recla- nation of arid lands and has ever shown a willingness to do us great and abiding good.
 In connection with the Bard and statehood complication, interest at taches to a letter written to a we'll known Arizonan by Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times. The Times has been Bard's foremost supporter and no one denies its fighting ability nor its strength. General Otis letter is as forcible as are his editorial utterances. In part, he writes:
 ''I am right ID this matter. and would not defend Bard if I believed that his attitude would prove, in the long run, detrimental to the best interests of Arizona. I am perfectly sincere in this, and, while refusing to be driven by abuse from my posi- tion on statehood, on the other hand I will welcome the coming of the time when Arizona shall be entitled to ad- mission on the merits and because of sufficient population and other quali fications entitling her to single state hood-not to joint statehood. 1 con- sider her position, as 1 understand it to be, in favor of single statehood, or none at all, to be eminently right and justifiable. Every sagacious person ought to be able to see that if the territory is once hooked up with New Mexico, and the two admitted as one state, subsequent separation and division into two states will be next to impossible. Let students of his tory look back and see how many states have been divided, or, rather, how few states have been divided. Virginia, it is true, underwent the process of partition, and West Vir- ginia was created out of the throes of civil war, but for that reason and under those circumstances alone. But we have no civil war on deck now, and will not have any-God be praised flor an unknown period in the future" :"

campaign leaders over the cost of living, the treasury department makes it clear that whether prices are low or high, there is more money in circu- lation today than ever before in the history of the country. An equal distribution among every man, woman and child in the land of all money in circulation belonging to Uncle Sam would give to each the sum of S31. .06 This is the highest per capita circulation ever attained in the
 United States. There was a gain of S25, 900, 900 in volume of money in circulation during the month of July. This was a big jump, and accounted in large measure for the heavy in crease for that month. It was brought about by the heavy disbursements of the government incident to the begin ming of the new fiscal year. The total amount of money in circulation August 1 was g. 546, 5SG, 5O3. This is a gain of s164. .OOO, GOO over the volume of money in circulation August l of last year. Previous to this, the largest per capita circulation was May 1, when it amounted to S31. 02.

It is amusing to note that the old trick of taking the horse to water and trying to make him drink, is still re- sorted to, now and then. A Jim crow street car law has become valid in Richmond, Va, but the colored people consistently refuse to ride in the cars set apart. for theIr use. They prefer to walk. The result is a fall ing off in receipts, much to the dis gust of the stockholders. How to en- force the law, make the colored people ride, and keep up the receipts is a perplexing question.

INNING PROPOSITION.

The Journal Miner has been author iezd to negotiate the sale of three very promising mining claims in the Hassayampa mining district, which the owners are unable to develop. The claims will be sold very cheap, snd on easy terms and parties having money to invest in mining business are invited to examine them as from present indications with the expendi- ture of a small amount of money in development several times the amount can be realized from them. The claim on which the greatest amount of work has been done, of the three claims, is gold and silver ledge with a granite hanging wall and a porphyry foot wall. It averages three feet in width and crops on The surface for 700 feet in length. There is tn mel on it now in TO feet. Assays of the ore run from g. 40 to s553 in gold. The tunnel is run on the led ge and is in ore all the way. The face is all quartz, over five feet in width, that assays s4. 50 gold and three ounces sil- yer. There is one ore shoot in the tunnel 19 feet long that will average s37 per ton. Can get 3Oo feet depth by running this tunnel 250 feet more. The depth now is 1l0 feet. It is quartz ledge with iron and copper sulphides. Two hundred feet lower down the hill tunnel could be run and get 600 feet depth to the ledge. This is a claim in which there is every prospect of making mine.
 North of the above claim ], 300 feet, on another claim is 70 foot shaft, a 6 foot tunnel, two O. en cuts on big low grade ledge iicI. two feet up to 10 feet in width. I re has been ore taken from the shat tlat went into the thousands of dolla,- per ton when worked thirty years apc A big gold and silver dyke 10 feet wide that assays S4.O0 gold and .ew ounces in silver. -Ip.n
 The third claim is n the bank on the Hassayampa, least fork on the Bodie road, three fourths of mile west of the others. It has a big quartz ledge which can be traced the full length of the claim. There has not been much work done on it, (two assessments). It has two feet of ore on the surface to start on that assays $500 gold, the right formation, the right dips and the right ear marks and all that is wanted is the right party or parties to take hold and open them up.
 A half interest in this property can he obtained for very small amount of money down and very reasonable terms can be arranged for the de- of the property by them.

A son was born to the Czar and Czarina of Russia on Friday, August 12 and all Russia joins the happy parents in celebrating the event. For years it has been a source of sorrow to the Czar that he had no son,
 as in Russia only the male sex is eli gible to the throne. While Russia and the Czar rejoices over the advent of this boy, who if he lives, and bar ring other untoward circumstances,
 will some day succeed to the throne of Russia. The job is not one to be coveted and many boy babies born all over the world have prospects for the future brighter and more to be pre- ferTed than this scion of royalty.
 While the parents are to be conrgatu- lated on achieving the desires of their heart, the boy is entitled to sympathy.
