WEDNESDAY, TRAGEDY AND ITS lEs-
 SON.

This newspaper has no desire
 nor intention to excuse or defend
 any violation of law: nor can it see
 any reason why any sentimentality
 should intervene to shield from
 punishment the old man who
 Wednesday noon put out the life
 of mere boy. But in considering
 the shocking tragedy of Wednes-
 day it will be fair to present we'll
 known state of facts, that should
 and will have great weight in
 maintaining that even balance of justice which the law is supposed
 to guarantee to all.
 Unfortunately for Nogales there exists in the town-upon both sides of the line-a large number of misguided, unruly boys, who have no conception or regard for the rights of others. Many of them are without doubt boys of good parentage, and under right kind of influences would grow to upright and useful manhood. But young, impressionable and filled with ex- uberant animal spirits, they are easily led to do things that are rude and violent if not actually criminal. Associated with these boys are some positively vicious, who are ready to lead in all sorts of depredations; and by the force of their more natural aggressive ness of character, lead along with them in acts of violence and wrong the boys of better character and disposition. Some of the latter are permitted to go astray by in- difference upon the part of their parents; but those parents who de- sire to and do control their pro- geny find it difficult to do so on account of the pernicious influence of the others described, with whom they are thrown in contact at school and elsewhere.
 The annoyances and depreda tions committed by these unruly boys that have been described and to TIE OASIS by of the best citizens have ! been very exasperatlng; and at least three good men can be enum- erated who in dealing with these young offenders have heretofore { taken the law in their own hands, but fortunately without serious re- suit. One gentleman, living down toward the cemetery, relates that one morning a boy about fifteen came near his premises with a P calibre rifle and commenced 1

their pigeon house on his grounds.
 The offended property owner went
 out and remonstrated. The boy
 returned an impudent and grossly
 insulting reply The gentleman
 protested against subjection to such
 insulting language, when it was
 repeated in a more shocking and
 aggravating form. The insulted
 citizen went into the house and re-
 turned with shot gun. Upon his
 re-appearance the vicious lad ran
 away; but his speed was accelerated
 by a charge of fine bird shot ac-
 curately placed in the softest and
 most cushiony part of the fleeing
 boys anatomy. It is unnecessary
 to state that the boy who carried
 the bird shot has not since mol ested the pigeons of the property holder mentioned, and all of the gang have given his premises wide berth.
 Another property holder living in the same vicinity has suffered frequent annoyance, vexation and damage. The gang of boys has frequently entered his premises and stolen green fruit and young vegetables. When his wife and daughters went out to drive away the offenders they were saluted with language too vile to repeat. They opened his gate and turned into the enclosure to feed upon his garden all the stray cows and burros they could find in the vicin- ity; and then they tied up the gate with wire so that it could be opened to drive them out only with great One day the irate prop erty holder succeeded in laying hands upon one youthful offender, and he vigorously applied a very pliable board to the same part of the anatomy that the other citizen applied the bird shot to the other Doy. But that failed to deter the gang, so upon another occasion the same gentleman planted a charge ,f bird shot in the sitting down place of a little rascal whom he 1 taught committing a wilful act. The distance was long, but the | Jim was good, and the boy started 1 'way with yell, He has never ince troubled those premises s-nor lave any of the rest of the gang.

tender currency-the only logical sub
stitute and antidote for our swind-
ling British system? Many of us have
voted for Bryan because We thought
him better than his party-and be-
cause we hoped his influence, If elect
ed, would change the spots OF the
democratic leopard.
We are again upon the eve of an
other presidential and congressional
election. 1t behOoves not only the Old
Guard of Populism, but every friend
of peace and even-handed justice, to
consider how to organize for their

peoples party-under this name-.be
revived and with confidence and hope
restored, become again the nucleus
around which lovers Of justice and
liberty will rally? Would new Or
ganization under a new name, but
with like objects, be more likely to
succeed; or shall public enlightenment
on economic questions go on trusting
to the initiative and referendum to
finally secure needed reforms?
Whatever may be done In the way
of independent party action, let the
people be reused to vote no man into
Legislature or congress who will not
pledge himself publicly to aid in CIV
ing the people these weapons of de-
fense. While there Is no organiza-
ition of the peoples party in Ohio,
confidently believe that majority of
its voters woul1 be for populist meas

cies upon the future of the human

kind to use all lawful means to Sc
cure their adoption.

A NEW YEARS GREETING.

Editor Independent: Since sending
in my name as one of the Old Guard,
| see numbers of the old, tried and
SCARED up veterans poking their heads
up above the turbulent waves Of op-
preston. looking as pleasant as ever;
and, old as they are, with all the vim
of youth, strike out for the shores of
liberty.
Oh! how it cheers me to think that
we old veterans of the cause OF lib
erty, whose bodies bear the scars of
many a hard fought battle since 1874,
still live to contend for the liberties
of a down-trodden and monopoly-rid-
den people.
How it cheers me to think that The
dark clouds of fusion, that well-nigh
ingulfed us as party in the misty
darkness of oblivion, are rolling
away and the sun of liberty shines as
bright as ever, cheering our party as
did the mama that fell to the starving
children of Israel in the wilderness.
Long live the Old Guard. and
stronger and stronger may their
weary arms grow to unturl and hold
on high the banner of liberty; and
may the Old Guard get under and
support the heavy arm OF freedom un-
til the children of Israel prevail.
New Years greeting, and long life
to the Old Guard to contend for
American liberty. r. T. SHORT.
