THE RETURN OF JONES.

y squadron OF American warships,
any one of which could have exter1nin-
ated all the navies of the world i'm
his day. is bringing home from France
the body Of the first American ad-
miral, Paul Jones. When all that is
mortal of Paul Jones has been depos-
ited in a sepulchre i'm Annapolis, with
all the honor that can be done to the
memory of the great sea fighter, a re-
markabl chapter in American history
win have been finished
After tho lapse OF more than hun
drcd years it was possible 10 discover
and TO absolutely identify the body Of
Admiral Jones. The identification was
so thorough, 50 complete as TO leave
uo room for doubt. Traces Of tho very
disease from which Jones is known TO
have died were disclosed 10y an au-
tUpsy which. thanks to the wonderfully
Veil preserved state OF the body. the
physicians were able To- make.
TO Amba ssador Porter the credit is
Cue. AIr. Porter instituted the search
&C his own expense. He expended
thousands Of dollars in exploring the
little cemetery, long since abandoned
and built over, i'm which Jones body
zyas buried For weeks tho search went
OF. There were disappointmcnts and
discouragenaents. but Mr.. Porter never
1altered- That he finally achieved his
object is cause FOR concentration. not
only 10 him but to the whole American
people
AND Il must strike some OF our for
eigu critics that in this search Tor and
discovery Of the. body of Jones. in The
ceremonies attendant ON it's removal TO
the United states and the further cere-
monies that VIII occur on its arrival
here, we have gotten away for time
from commcrcialism. We are called a
nation OF money setters; we are told
mat our sweetest music is the cIinB
of gold, that we have no time for The
finer things of life.
The story OF the recent Happenings
g. France is sufficient answer 10 these
criticisms. Americans are often in
3 Ciined 10 spend too much time in the
pursuit Of the dollar, they have world
wide commercial ambitions, but they
can, on occasion. forget all these
: things and join in as fine a display OF
pure sentiment as any nation has
ever produced.

q CoCKF;GHTING BILL.

The Cuban congress is gravcly con-
siJerills "a Din providing for the res
toratiuu OF cockiigbting and requiring
the managers of pits il which game
cocks are pittcd against one another
1o pay 81 license therefor. Some Won
uerfully strong arguments are ad-
vanced. not only by the advocates Of
The measure, but by the bin itself in
favor of its passage. For example
the Oil speaks Of cockfighting as the
legendary diversion Of the Cuban peo-
pie"
The alleged sport is described as "the
typical cutertaiunsnt OF the farmer. -
and il is declared 20 be necessary 10

recreation of spirit" This is A sur

from the furrow and the sugar mill
from the tobacco patch and the early
o. late vegetables. Let him by all
means go to the highly moral sport of
cockfghtiug.
We are quite sure there is no wrong
i'm this, because the bill says: Cock
fighting is in essence the simple con-
temptation of an distinctive action of
pure natural law, by which il is sought
To render yet more potent the conser-
Fatism aud pcrpctuation of "A species.
without the slightest damage TO those
who direct and witness the spectacle"
What further authority could any
reasonable individual want? Now some
OF US have been laboriug under the
impression that cocktishting is a bru-
tai and degrading pastime. it has oc-
CURED to Us that, while gamecocks
are unquestionaly fond of lighting.
they do not particularly like to fight
with the steel gaffs or spurs used in
ordinary cockfghting, We had i'm
agined that there could be no mental
O" moral uplift in the spectacle of two
chickens fighting each other TO the
death while men stood around ap
plauding
We frankly confess our error. We
were wrong. Cockhghtins is a pure and
innocent recreation. one that every
man, woman and child should see and
enjoy. The bill before the Cuban con-
gress says so, and far be it from us
TO argue with 50 eminent an author
ity. Meanwhile. however we are Just
old fashioned enough to hope that the
Cubans viii keep their gentle sport
entirely to themselves. They are well
come to it.

SECRETARY ROOT.

The appointment Of Elihu loot TO DC
secretary OF state viii almost surely
give satisfaction 20 a large majority
o. the people. Mr.. Root is not the aDfest
American that could have been selected
Tor the place. but he is without ques-
ton the abIest Republican As It WAS
necessary from shc political standpoint
5or our Republican president TO ap-
point q Republican secretary OF state
the wisdom OF Mr.. Hooscvclts choice
viii not ne questioned.
AZ. Root is an able ls@wyer, public
spirited citizen and a man who has
had much experience in national af-
fairs Although ne has been more or
less prominent since 1883, when he was
appointed United states attorney for
the southern district OF New York by
President Arthur. Mr.. Root had no ma
tional service until he was made sec
rcu'ry of war by President Mckinley in
1899. Since then he has been much in
Tho public eye.
II was largely through his efforts
that order was brought out OF the war
department chaos produced by his pre-
decessor. and he administered the at
fairs of the department with zeal and
Intelligence. When he left his office,
greatly TO the regret of President
Roosevelt, it was Mr.. Roots announced
i6teution to retire permanently from
politics and devote himself 10 the prac-
flee of his profession, the. law. During
1904 he was besought by the Repub-
lican managers 10 accept the nominal
v4ion for governor OF New York, but he
resisted their opportunities.
We doubt If he is following his per
sonal iuclinatiOns when he goes back
t. Washington as the head of the state
department. The position is pc
5culiarly exacting and arduous one. 1t
killed Walter e, Gresham, and there
j.; little doubt but that il FASTENED Mr..
Hays end. Mr.. Root not long since
passed his sixtieth birthday. He has
reached a time when men like to take
life easy, to rest as much as possible.
However, his constitution is robust

for work is great The country viii

stripe he believes in intermarriage TOT
other whites but draws the line when
the question il put squareIy up 10 him
VIC do not see how general tntermar-
riage between the races could result IN
anything but the deterioration of both
whites and blacks. The idea of inter
marriage is 50 repugnant that it can
not be considered calmly
There cab be no such thing as a
community OF interests, socially speak
ing, between the pure Caucasian and
the pure Ethiopian. The pure Ethi-
opian is we'll enough in his place, but
mix little Caucasian blood IN the
Negroes veins and he becomes too in
sufferable for words. The curse Of this
country. as far as negroes are con-
cerned is the mulatto. He is the IN
dividual that devises most of the
crimes, nay, practically all the crimes,
charged against the blacks.
We do not pretend to offer Il solu-
ton of the race problem. Some very
able writer's have tried that and have
failed. The negro seeems to be here

slave traders who brought them over

The Jerome Cave.in.

Hon. c. w. Hull, of Jerome, who has been here attending the anti'statehood convention, speaking last night of the caving in of the United Verde mine, said that stories of the disaster had been greatly exaggerated. The damage was not overwhelming and it will be repaired within a month. There is nothing like a cessation of work, as 1000 tons of ore are being handled daily. There is enough ore out to keep the smelter busy for three or fo r months. The sunken area was not nearly so large as was at first reported, covering radius of about 90 feet from the hoisting shaft. Much of the ground included in the cavein had already been worked out.
 He said that the tim bers in this part of the mine had been in place for six teen years and that their strength had been sapped by dry rot. Since the breaking out of the fire some years ago, and which has not yet been quenched, the management has adopt ed the policy of filling in all the work. ed out portions ef the mine with waste, leaving the ground as nearly as possible in the same shape in which it was found. It naturally could not be made so solid as it was at the be- ginning, but the sinking could not be a very extensive one.
 The cave in has furnished Jerome with one of the most spectacular eff fects of @ volcano. The burning gas from the caved in portion shoots far up into the air, lighting p the vicinity Phoenix Republican.
