vUslIsa THE REPORTS.

The Williams News has had a clash with the district attorney of Cochise county, over some of the proceedings of the board of super visors, that the newspaper claimed were irregular. The territorial examiner made an investigation, and his report was filed with the governor, who sent copy to the district attorney of Coconino. The newspaper man wanted to see the copy of the examiners report, but the district attorney refusedto per- init it without an order from the governor. To the executive appeal was made for an order to permit examination of the document. His excellency responded with a letter to the district attorney authorizing an examination if the district attorney thought 1t advis- able. Of course that official thought 1t inadvisable to permit examination. So that ended the matter, and the newspaper con fessed defeat.
 The News has taken the first lesson in acquisition of knowledge of the really autocratic powers possessed by the rulers of the peo. pie under a territorial form of government. Responsible to no one they can follow their own sweet wills, and generally do so. And they will stand with one another in warding off investiga- tion and preventing exposure.
 It was thought the act creating the post of territorial examiner, whose duty is to check up and

That would be a way to settle the question for sure.

The universal opinion as to the cause
of the failure of the strike on the lall-
ways in New York city is ecaus it
failed to receive che approval Of the
public. The people as a whole believe
in fair treatment and honst actions.
In this case the men who went out on
strike violated a solemn contract made
with their employers which they had
entered into for a year. Because of this
the strikers failed to gain the sympa-
thy of the general public. And when
the leaders of the labor organizations
to which the strikers belong declared
that the latter were in the wrong be-
cause they had broken their agreement
there was no hope for them. Along this
line Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in an
address in Baltimore last Sunday, to q
labor meeting made this statement
The most important object in the
labor organizations today is the honor
Of agreement between employe and en-
pioyer. The violation of agreements
was the main of the strike in
New York, and If the leaders of the
New York union, had considered the
agreement the strike could have been
prevented. 1 want to impress upon you.
fellow unionists, the Importance of liv-
ing up to your agreements and con-
tracts.

The Post has declared that n

substantially drafted in the state de-
partment and was never intended To

Hay was misled by some sinister in
fiuence into hastily denying both these
statements. We have conclusively
proved by the contemporaneous state
ment Of different journalists who
were informed at the time by the state
department that it was not to be sub

He Returns to His Former Home. a
Distance of $50 Miles After Three
Years Absence.

There was revealed a remarkable
example of canine instinct and memory
in this city Through THE return of q
dog to the home Of Mrs. A. NJ. Mckee,
in WesterveIt Avenue, after an alb
n of three years. Mrs. Mckee,
went to Glenns Falls, N. Y, in 1901,
and left the dog there. A few days
ago., in Plainfield, a dog trotted up
ITO her n grew frantic after gazing
AT her am instant. 1t was thin and
hungry looking, but recognizable as
the animal she had left behind three
years before.
From Glenn Falls she learned that
h dog had run away several weeks
ago and a been seen to the
Poughkeepsie bridge. Tt had ITO cross
the Hudson again ito get ITO Plainfield,
besides travelling nearly $50 miles.
How it eve got over the stream is a
mystery. Mrs. Mckee also found that

she formerly lived, and tina the pres
