IN MEMORIAM

The funeral of Myron Parke Ga lusha was held at the ranch of Mir. J W. Hunt, his kinsman at D. m., Tues. day. Rev. Harvey M. Shields, Ph. D., officiating. Interment was had near MT. Hunts home.
 Parke was a brilliant school-boy, the son of MT. and Mrs. John w. Ga lusha. of Virginia. Coming of a long line of distinguished Virginians and Churchmen, the lad bade fair to make an enviable initial record for himself in the Petersburg Academy, but was stricken with a fatal malady and with drew from the pursuit of knowledge to seek restored health, first at the Buffalo Lithia Springs, Va, and after ward on his cousins ranch in the val ley twelve miles from Douglas. Q Here the final and mortal battle was fought during the last two months, amid the kindest ministries imaginable on the part of his relatives.
 At one time in February the end seemed near and MT Galusha, who is Sheriff of Dinwiddie County, Va, hasteIed away from pressing duties to the bedside of his beloved boy. Then followed such a recall of na- lures force as to warrant the fathers return to his home and office, but the end came swiftly and sweetly, though unexpectedly 7on Monday night at g o'clock.
 Parke, as he was fondly called by his newly formed friends here, was

tially a conservative institution.
 The Zemstvo can not be a revolu- tionary, and still less an anarchistic element, for the simple reason that it IS composed of landholders, and the
 ideals pursued by the proletariat of
 labor-although they may be tempora- riiy adopted by the Zemstvo in its :;am- paign for freedom-are necessarily objectionable and even terrible to it.
 Tn the first Zemstvo the proportion of classes represented was as follows:
 Nobles. 9 per cent; peasants, 4 per cent; clergy, per cent; others, per cent. After the reactionary reforms of 1890, to which I shall refer later,
 the proportion of nobles largely in creased. This showed that the e. forms. dealing principally with the
 method of election, chiefly affected the
 peasants. The government hopel tt
 md in the nOb!es a cOrservative elc
 ment which should relieve it of all ap prehensions from an elective institu
 tion. But the reformed Zemstvo dit not display the slightest change oi policy. and the late Minister Plehve found to his astonishment that the SO
 Dhisticated body was just as resolute
 an opponent as its predecessor. It may even be confidently asserted that mad Plehve done the very reverse, had he increased the proportion of peas ants, he would have done mucn more to achieve the desired result For the peasants would have even gone the length of seeking to apply Henry Georges naturalization of land, but they would certainly have remained indifferent to political rights. If we care to judge by the rapidity with which the large land-holdings of the nobles are passing into the hands of the peasants it may be presumed that this transfer would have materially facilitated a normal evolution, unat- tended by any catastrophe. The fact IS, however, that our government fears nothing so much as an agragrian Everything is sacrificed n this self-imposed hogie: the people gre sedulously kept in a state of dark ness and ignorance. the development of thls country is impeded and numb cd, discomfort is engendered and the energies of the nation are wasted in strife.
 But how is It to be explained that the Zemstvo, composed of noble pro prietors with a small admixture' ot peasants, has remained progressive, liberal and consistently opposed to the government? It is easy to answer his question, by pointing out that the army with which the Lemstyo wages war is recruited from

widely read for his years and of that refined temperament appreciating the niceties of literature and of conduct. In all his long sickness a considerate gentleness characterized his every word and gesture especially toward those who whiled away his pain with a favorite book The severer his ag- ony, the kinder his smile at every service rendered. His was the cour- tesy of gentle blood and breeding, tempered with Christian fortitude in the hour and during the years of trial.
 When Parke began to realize that his earthly suffering might soon be exchanged for the immortal health awaiting him, his mind was for a season troubled over the fact that his assurance was so calm, being unmark- ed by any intensity of feeling. Mir. Hunt. however, persuaded him that the fidelity of the Master to His own promises did not in any wise depend upon tempests of human Teeling. That message was just the needed one, and the young heart was ready for it's eternal youth, and the rest that remaineth for the believing soul and servant.
 Just as he was falling asIeep, ne called his girl cousin Dollie to the bedside and said with failing voice. Kiss mother. goodnight" and once again. Tell Father and Mother love them"

This building is in dis pute as to the date of it's inception with the San Augustine Mission of Florida and the one at Santa Fe, N. M., but the best authorities are now disposed to award the palm to San Xavier. As it is, the ancient ruin is unsurpassed as a sight for tourists. and it would be as seemly for the vis- itor to Rome to leave without viewing the Pantheon as it would for anyone travelling through Arizona to miss San Xavier. Teams of all sorts may be hired at any time for the trip, which the tourist will never regret.

 With the aid of legislative measures
 and circulars, pubic and secret, the
 Ministry of Instruction brought mat
 ters to such pass that the Zemst |os

 Ih" .6' Cols, were forced to su ''-n Ter them to the Ministry. As a Si:gCt concession they were, however. per mitted to conduct primary schools in cluding not more than two classes (standards); providing the teaching adhered strictly to the government program. using only school books au- thorized by the ministry and under the most stringent control of the gov ernment, all of which involved enor- nous expenditure of energy ana mon ey.
 Tt is of interest to follow the course of school evolution in Russia. which is of such special importance for this country since it is the lack of edu- cation that keeps Russia a laggard among the European nations. Every peasant instinctively feels the neces- sity of education. Neither vexatious restrictions nor Draconian laws could discourage the villagers from attend ing school. Plenty of devoted school masters and mistresses, unable to en- dure the government yoke, were will ing to serve the Zemstvos, however humble and narrow might be the sphere of the Zemstvo school. But the Zemstvo budget is modest. It could pay the teacher not more than an average of twenty, sometimes thir- ty-five, more often fifteen roubles a month. For this sum the teacher was content to live in remote village. often in a cold lodging and give les
 sons under the most trying conditions, in small class-rooms crowded to sui location and few or any class books.

Students, both in the capitals and in the provinces, consider it an honor and sacred duty to take the places Of those who drop out of the ra-ils and enthusiastically forsake their chances of a brilliant career in order to teach the children of Russia to pre- pare the coming generation for better times than the present. It is natur- al that these self-imposed martyrs are not prone to bend the knee before their administrative superiors. h. deed, it may be said, that the govern ment does not find in them the pliable material it seeks for its purposes.

 That is the unique position occupied by the Hotel San Augustine. This capacious building, reared by Spanish Padres as a church probably two or three centuries ago, for the date is lost in the mazes of past obscurity, stands today in precise outward form as de- signed by the forerunners of the Cath olic church and retaining it's massive solidity as exemplified by walls four feet through, has not been altered one jot, for the mild climate of Tucson has no eject on buildings, and the roof, walls and quaint old towers are in ex- actly as good condition now as when they were put up.

THE DATE OF THE PR MARES.

The Democratic Committee has
fixed on the 22nd OF August on the date
on which the primary election are to
be held. This date was not the choice
of the Committee. but they were afraid
to adopt an earlier date. We are glad
to know that it has been fixed thus and
we assure our friends who have been
so ANXIOUS about us on account of the
fixing Of the date, that we are satisfied
and that our health, and nerves are
both in tact, Notwithstanding the date
fixed. The complexion of the Com
mittee was such that it could have fix
ed any date it chose. We learn and
this fact has been extensively publish
ed that the committee stands two to
one for Martin. If the committee were
now to be appointed not Montague
man would get on it. Knowing that
the committee was thus packed and
had been for some time past. we were
prepared for most any thing, but even
that committee was not nervy enough
to place the date OF the elections earlier
than they did. There was no magma
nilnlty in it, there was no desire for
fair and proper discussion. There
was simply knowledge which comes
to men, that there is wisdom in curb
Ing ones own desires. In this case
any other course would have been sui
cidal. If the committee could have
had the primaries held in 80 days it
would have done so, in so far as their
wishes were, concerned, but their good
sense warned them not to be too rash
and they weakened, and fixed proper
and suitable date.

OUTRAGE on a Deaf-mute Girl.

A telegram from Lynchburg says:
Raleigh b. Dawson, a young farmer of
Level Run. Pittsylvania county, is in
jail here charged with criminally as
saulting Bette Shelton, the l5year-
old deaf-and-dumb daughter of Charles
A. Shelton, of the same county.
From the police it is learned that on
Thursday afternoon the girl was re-
turning home on the train from the
Va. School for the Deaf and Blind at
Staunton. She was accompanied by a
little brother. Both got off the train
here and were met by Dawson who took
them to the Central hotel, near the de-
pot, where he engaged room with
two beds in it. The boy was sick and
that night, Dawson says, he staid in
the room On his bed so as to look after
him. The girl slept in the same room
in another bed, and claims that dur
ing the night Dawson assaulted her.
In the morning Dawson paid the bills
and went home, the girl and boy going
to their home on an afternoon train.
On their arrival the girl told her
father, who in turn told Sergeant Ohm
l.. Hurt and he brought both to the
city last night, swore out warrant
and had an officer sent to Level Run
to arrest Dawson.
Sergeant Hurt, the girl, her father
and the officer returned last evening
on special train.
The officer arrested Dawson last
night and brought him here this morn
ing. Dawson declares he Is innocent
and says the girl wrote him on the 18th
to meet her here and take her car-rid-
ing to see the city, but conld he have
answered her in time he would have
told her he could not come, as he and
her father did not speak.
He says be came because he was
afraid she might get lost and thought
it best to look after the two children
who were distant relatives of his.
Dawson is married and has a family.
Dawson was given IA hearing in the
mayors court Wednesday morning
and held for the grand jury.

Is that these attorneys have resigned
because of a difference of opinion with
Attorney General Moody, but it is
suspected in some quarters that this
difference arose with regard to the pos
sible prosecution of Paul Morton, Sec
rotary of the Navy. However, the At
torney General has promised to publish
an explanation which will accord with
the views of himself and the distin-
guished counsel and the conservative
public will await that explanation.
Attorney General Moody has recent
ly voiced a plant against the newsEa-
pers of this country because, he says,
they want the Department of Justice
to try it's cases before the tribunal of
the press, as he expresses it. In other
words, the Attorney Gener Il maintains
that the newspapers insist on knowing
and on publishing the discoveries and
plans of the Department before they
are revealed In the courts and that in
this way the cases of the Government
are weakened by their revelation in
advance to the attorneys for the de-
Tense. While there may be some ground
for this complaint there seems to be
little reason why the Department
should not refuse to reveal information
when such revelation would weaken
the Governments case and the news
papermen charged with the duty of re-
porting the work of the Department
have never perceived any reluctance to
suppress information when it pleased
the Attorney General to do so.
Attorney General Moody made one
complaint In conversation with your
correspondent recently which deserves
consideration and even support 10y the
law abiding people of the country. lie
said that with a view to preventing al
innocent man from suffering the law
makers had gone to radical extreme
in placing obstacles in the way of pro-
scouting criminals, or men charged
with crime, and that it was, under
existing statutes matter of years to
merely bring to trial man who was
under Indictment irrespective OF how
conclusive the evidence was. The AT
torney General referred especially to
the case of State Senator George E
Green of New Y ork, who was indicted
more than two years ago and who Ii
still free awaiting the decision of the
Supreme Court ON his habeas corpus
suit, which decision cannot be render
ed until autumn. The Attorney Gen
eraI bespoke popular support for his
recommendation to Congress that {
statute be enacted providing that any
person indicted for violation of a Uni
ted States statute might be brough,
Immediately to the District of Colum
bia for trial without any intervening
legal proceedings. 1t is to be hoped
that such a statnte will be enacted
