A. O. u. WIS cELEsRATE.
Great Festivities st Andre Hall Last Ni~ht-Goat and Coon Took Part.

Last night was one that will long be remembered by the members of the A. O. U. w. at this place, and not only by those here, but by a large delesa- ton beth from Mesa and Phoenix.
 The train from Phoenix, the regular Maricopa train, carried something near a hundred visitors and many drove down from Mesa. At 1:3O a special train returned with the visitors.
 The first part of the evening was devoted to the secret work of the lodge. Eight candidates were initiated into the order and Cthsr work tran sacted
 While this work was going on in the lodge room those on the outside were not neglected. Miss Besse, a vioHnist from Phoenix, ana Mrs. Bowers. piano ist from Mesa, furnished excellent music for dancing and though the room was small all enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent.
 AS soon as the secret session was finished the lodge rocm was thrown open and the members and guests took seats there. Here they were enter tsined for time by organizer Fl. G. Gates. who, with the aid of stersoo- tican views, exemplifed to those pres ent the inner workings of the Crder
 His lecture was most interesting as well as instructive and Mir. Gates dem onstrated to his hearers that he was master of the work he has in hand
 Following this lecture the real funny part of the evening programme took place. J. E. Sturgeon was elected chairman Of the social session and made>a neat little speech of accept ance. He then appointed as assistants Geo. DobsOn. Theo. Dickinson and Os- car Penn. The first two were. desig- mated as guides and Oscar Penn was the candidate He was taken to the ante-room where he was to bs prepar- ed for the ordeal Upon being brought back into the room he was blindfold- ed and led to the front where he sol emnly swore to do as he was told and many and various ether obligations.
 While this ceremony was going on Mir. Dobson had brought to the plat form the official goat of the occasion. This goat, however, had not yet reached any great age and still seeks nourishment from a bottle. The frs thing Mir. Penn had to do was to feed this goat from the bottle. This rp- quired no practice though for the goat had been brought to the proper stage for the affair and was more than ready to do it's share. Tn fact it went af.er the bottle so enthusiastically that il fell from the table. This. however only added merriment to the event and the audience went wild. It was then announced that the chairman had the right to call upon any member e the order for a selection of any kind. Mir Sturgeon therefore called upon D~nye! Holmsley for song. Just at this Juncture of the proceedings sonc; hing went wrong with the chairmon's chair

THE LAPS MAY LOSE.
The Say in Yokohama They'll Blow Up Their Ships Rather Than Surrener.

Despite the lesson of the Boer war. the Japanese did very little open order and extended formation work in their last manoeuvres, but operated in solid masses as trim and right angled as though shaped with spirit level. When field Marshal Marquis Yama- gata was asked if Japan would not change her field tactics to suit the con ditions of modern fighting. he replied:
 Japan will reveal her tactics in baC- tie. Be sure that they will be those nee essary to insure victory"
 This was not the self-confidence of the unbeaten warrior, but the expression of the only spirit Japan knows, for she never considers defeat even as a remote possibility.
 On the sea officers and men are spoil ing for q fight. From the crews of the huge Mikasa and her sister battle ships down to the men on such crafts as the White-naped Crane and the Dragons Lamp-toVpedo destroyers- they are swearing by every ancestor that, if let loose, they will sink or cap ture each conconantly named Russian warship in the Pacific. And do they not contemplate a possible defeat :? Yes; but capture no. Never will a Jap anese ship, high or low, go into port a prize.
 When the turrets are damned and the big guns dumb, when the screws are still and all defence is dead and done the men chosen by lot before the beg inning of the action will from theii

Bourke Cochran, the distinguished
New York congressman, in a letter on
the democratic outlook says: "The
platform, if it be honest, candid and
sincere, must be necessarily brief. The
fact that there is no chance of our OBJ

tive and executive departments rem
ders any declaration Of legislative in
tentions superfluous and therefore OBJ
jectionable on every ground. They can
not possibly be carried out, and to pro-
fess purposes impossible of accomplish
ment is neither prudent nor impressive
nor entirely honest. But if the subjects
with which the platform can deal are
few, they are nevertheless SO important
that the sincerity Of the party must be
made absolutely beyond question.

Democrats should make fight against
the biennial election scheme in Iowa.
If carried, it means that no matter how

never be overthrown by the democrats
because our state officers will always be
elected when national fight is on and
when national issues will be discussed
to the conclusion of state issues.
