Possibly some harm may be done in that way,
but the outside public will then be simply making
the mistake of not understanding the situation In
city has the police force better control Of crooks
and criminals than in st. Louis. Time and time
again, in the past few years, tributes to the eff
cheney of the st Louis police In this respect have
been voluntarily paid by authorities who make
point Of studying such matters. The Worlds Fair
public will be amply protected
And this fact throws upon the Police Department
heavy responsibility for the connivance of officers
with the "Inebucking" tactics of thugs last Satur
day. If. through lack OF funds internal dssensioD
or poor material the force were ina demoralzed con

one incident in general decadence. But the per-

GOOD C1TIzENsH1p's OPPORTUNITY.


Recklessness and bad judgment not to dwell on
the moral side of what they did-among the leaders
of Saturdays disturbances the polls have had the
welcome effect of stirring the fighting spirit of good
citizens 4
Unfortunately for the immediate fame OF st.
Louis but fortunately for its permanent better
ment, the rutfiansm was directed in the Twenty
eighth Ward against many men of high position in
the community: men who are able TO tell what hap
pened and whose simple word carries the weight OF
an oath. Other citizens of the same standing We're
eyewtnesses of the unconcealed violence with which
tough characters took possession of voting lines and
matreated legitimate voters. Ministers of the Cos
pei judges of the courts business men, lawyers and
physicians have already testified to their personal
knowledge of outrageous assaults the right of the
ballot.
There can be no discrediting this testimony
mere partisan charge and countercharge. 1t may be
difficult for such witnesses 10 identify by name
either the thugs who committed the outrages or the
policemen who encouraged them But the fact that
the primaries in the Twenty-eighth Ward were con-
tinuous battles of the wrong against the right, with
the wrong victorious is nquestioned as the fact
that the laws profess guarantee honest ballot
in primaries and elections.
Citizens whose Indignation is Justly aroused will
sponsibity from political party to another. Re
publican primaries have been conducted in the same
way and will be again conducted in that way unless
the people take measures to make it dangerous for
the perpetrators of fraud and violence.
To-nights mass meeting at Chatsworth Hall
should be the beginning of movement to reform
and purify primary elections. The public mind has
been educated and aroused by the accounts which
have come from the lips of victims and witnesses.
The occasion should develop potent organization
of voters from all parties, the especial purpose of
which will be the elevation Of nominating processes
to the plane of Trustworthy honesty. Nomination
by thievery and thuggery cannot be endured by any
set of voters. Let the scandalous climax of the evil
be the beginning of determined and combined eff
fort of good citizens to clean primaries IT'LL
ize the opportunity afforded by the resentment
which the shamelessness of last Saturdays violence
has excited among the people.

~ OTHING resting In its completeness
M Can have worth or beauty: but alone
E Because 1t leads and tends to further sweetness
Size, Fuller, higher deeper than its
kA Springs real glory dwelIs not in the meaning,
Gracious though 1t be, of her blue hours;
But is hidden in her tender leaning
To the Summers richer wealth flowers
Dawn Is fair because the mists fade slowly
Into day. which floods the world with light:
Twilght's mystery is sweet and holy
Just because it ends in starry Night.
Childhood'S smiles unconscious graces borrow
From Strife that in far-of future lies;
And angel glances (veiled by Life's sorrow
Draw hearts to some beloved eyes.
Life is only bright when 1t proceedeth
Toward a truer, deeper Life above;
Human Love is sweetest when 1t leadeth
To a divine and perfect Love
Learn the mystery of Progression duly:
Do not call each glorious change Decay;
know only hold treasures truly,
When it IL they passed away.
Nor dare to blame Gods gifts for incompleteness;
In that want their beauty lies they roll
Toward some infinite depth of love and sweetness,
Bearing onward mans reluctant soul.

w E. Pomeroy, who is with Sam for big mining company, arrived at Mesa yesterday, and left last night again for Mexico. Mir. Pomeroy came to Fl Paso from Minlca, where he left the outfit, to meet some mining ex- perts who are going back with him to examine some properties that have been discovered. MT. Pomeroy had nothing to give out for publication about this property just now, if the engineers find it as good as the boys think it is there will be a story about 1t.
 Mir Pemeroy left the outfit camp at Mifiaca, in the state of Chihuahua, and experts From there they expect to go south He says that it is the mos t beautiful country that he ever saw and it is full of all kinds of wild game, deer and wild turkey being the princi pal game that furnishes their sport They kill all the fresh meat they can use for camp purposes
 One time when he arrived at camp on Black river, near Chihuapi, he and one of the men took lines and went down to the stream to fish while the "Mozo" got the fire started, and in few minutes pulled out 20 of the finest mountain trout he ever saw.
 Mir. Pomeroy does not know when he will return. Journal.

The Benson Shelter.

Charley Henderson went to Benson yesterday. He is interested in the starting of the new shelter. He states that the smelter will certainly blow in during the next thirty days, that the plant will have two custom furnaces with capacity of 200 tons, and will work all kinds of ore. It looks like the millenniuaa had about arrived at Benson, and the small mine owner can soon begin to realize on the dump he has been pilIng up for several year past. There Is a large supply of ore already on hand, and the announce ment that the shelter will start has set hundreds of men to work getting out the good old rock all over the hills.-Tombstone Prospector.
