TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.

From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
Tigers. driven from their mountain lairs
in the territory OF Topic by the scarcity
OF food, continue to ravage the haciendas
OF tho valleys. They are becoming such a
general danger that the municipal authori-
ties have offered reward of $40 for every
tigers skin.
For several months great numbers OF
the animals have swarmed through the
marshes of the lOwlands along the coast
and in the valleys Of the territory OF Tepc
having been driven out of the states %
SiEalos and Sonora by the floods and the
extremely cold weather. The damage
caused to the haciendasdos and the danger
incurred by the presence OF the animas
was such that many OF them offered
wards for the skins of the animals some
time ago.
The tigers, however seem TO like tho
warm weather and the good food that
they are getting IN Topic and instead OF
decreasing their numbers have greatly in
creased within the last few weeks Now
the municipal authorities OF the territory
have also offered a reward for the skins

QUITE a DIFFERENCE.

Arizona has Rever had bank de- faulter in its history. The territory is somewhat behind the times in this re- spect. Ohio today has thirteen bank presidents in the penitentiary, but Ari- zona K not up to Beveridge's idea of
 high civilization. '--Phpnix Enter prise.
 How about the International Bank in Nogales2 November 3Oth, 1903 the report filed with the ter ritorial bank examiner presented resources aggregating two hundred and five thousand dollars, and de- posits amounting to one hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. Six weeks later-January 13th-- the institution closed it's doors, and the receiver could not find in the bank sufficient value to wad the traditional shot gun. Money, securities and everything but the safe and furniture gone. By aid of the courts he has succeeded in wrestling some little property from those who had it. It is true, as says the enterprise, that Ohio sends her defaulting bank presidents to the penitentiary. Arizona don't. That's the difference.

A FoREeoRE CONCLUSION.

The release by the grand jury of
 Pima county of the editor of the
 Citizen, charged with libeling the editor of the Star. was exactly
 what THE OASIS expected, and we are not at all surprised at the re- suit.
 The real surprise was when the editor of the Star entered crim- inal proceedings-or any other proceedings-agains the other journalist. The editor of the Star is an attorney, versed in the law, with wide knowledge of the
 philosophy upon which 1t is based.
 And he is thoroughly conversant with the philosophy of the law of libel. Not only with the phil osophy of the law, but with the philosophy of its application by both grand iuries and trial juries
 Freedom If speech and liberty ei The press arc the sheet anchors ui fFea government in all parts of He hofld. Without them "a government Of the people, by the peogfu d for the people" could not x for day. and they are nrniy fixed in the fundamental laws U all free states, so iealously are those two great rights regarded by the people juries will ever com done license in the press rather than take first step toward in- fringement upon its liberty. Sell dom will grand juries indict, and when they do they are usually packed for the purpose; and rarely will petit iuries convict of libel.
 To assure the safety of the lib critics of the people the press is given the most complete liberty under the law, and rightfully so But that complete liberty leaves  the capable and efficient journalist entirely unprotected against frauds and charlatans in his own pro- fession. The medical profession, the profession of dentistry, and of other callings are pro- tected by the law from invasions by unduly qualified and incom- petent pretenders. But there is no such protection for the compe- tent newspaper man. Any chump wAo ever stood beneath the caves ef printing office when 1t was raining becomes possessed of the newspaper capacity-or imagines himself. And if he can get hold of handful of type and a tumble ! down press, he forthwith becomes a full hedged ''gernalistp mounted
