suited in a satisfactory adjustment of
matters under discussion. and the best
of good feeling prevails; the men and the
officers wishing each other, upon ad-
jOurnment. a merry Christmas and hap

When some time later the conferees
were still cloSeted they were asked to
make public the terms of the settlement.
This they refused to do.

mand of the men to arbitration Mean

A STATEMENT BY MIR. HEARD.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 As my name has been referred to in the discussion of the charges claimed to have been preferred against Gov ernor Kibbey by MT. Fen $. Hildreth. of this city, I think a simple state ment from me may perhaps nelp to clear the atmosphere, although in my judgment the whole matter has been given too much importance and closely resembles at tempest in a tea pot.
 On calling at the office of the sec retary of the interior on February 21, to ascertain what charges, if any, had been filed, I found a number of persons in the ante-room of the sec retary of the interior, including MT Hildreth. who was engaged in an anil mated discussion with MT. Scott Smith. the private secretary of the secretary of the interior After Mir Hildretn left, I had an interview with MT. Smith, who informed me that no charges had been filed, but that he had been advised by MT. Hildreth that charges against Governor Kibbey were on the way from Arizona and would be filed the next day. On the follow ing day I called to inquire if these charges had materialized, and was in formed by MT. Smith that they had not. Similar inquiry of MT. Loeb, private secretary to the President, made on the morning of February 23, failed to develop any charges against the governor, and I returned home convinced that there was more smoke than fire in these charges.
 Yours very truly,
 DWIGHT B. HEARD.

A Compromise Possible.

It is not altogether strange, perhaps, that Senator Tillman, the more or less fond foster parent of the Hepburn freight rate bill, returning from South Carolina and finding a veritable wind fall of proposed amendments, express ed no surprise or disappointment The public mind seems to have become fix ed on the discussion of the single point of an amendment. providing for a ju- dicial review of the conte.N plated acts of the interstate commerce commis- sion. This. however. is only one of many submitted amendments; and ii obtains its prominence largely from the fact that it is the one on which congress and the president most radi- cally disagree. There are other clauses in the bill to which various railroads seriously object. Notwithstanding the vigilance of MT. Tillman. who himself has several amendments to offer, and of his democratic colleagues for the welfare of the bill as a whole, and notwithstanding the burning desire of the handful of republican senators who are especially solicitous lest the presi- dents attitude shall be misrepresented or ignored there is still a chance that when the storm is over and the dust has ceased to fly a bill will emerge which will be acceptable to all hands.

We appreciate the indignation which impels the Tucson Citizen to demand the expulsion of Judge owen T. Rouse
 from the democratic party. But it is doubtful # departure from a party
 plank is valid ground for expulsion It is true that the democratic territorial convention expressly declared against joint statehood and that as a member of that convention Judge Rouse raised no dissenting voice. It is true too that Judge Rouse has been among the fore most in disregarding that plank But We are not sure that all this warrants his dismissal. However. we will look into the matter and if we find that violation of a platform plank is a capi- tai offense against the party we will move for the firing of Joseph G. Can

Susan B. Anthony.

The long and useful life of Susan B. Anthony has been rounded out. Though not the earliest of woman suffragists, she is regarded as the pioneer and the greatest of suffrage. advocates. She was also one of its proponents from whose advocacy of it the cause never suffered but was made stronger. She was never led aside as were many of her CO., Iaborers with the result that ridicul3 and reproach were heaped upon her theory. Once she was brought into unpleasant prominence by her arrest for voting but that act was not prompted by a wish for notoriety, but that her theory of equal rights might be brought more definitely to public attention.
 But for Miss Anthony, her famoua co-worker. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the comparatively few prominent suf-- fragists of that school, the doctrin" woulG never have received even th' meager measure of respect it enjoys
 Those were self sacrificing women. willing to await the result of the cam paign of education which they institut- ed It was evident to them that wa. man suffrage would not become imme- diateIy universal
 There were no official bees buzzing in their bonnets. They only hoped tn hasten the time when women would be allowed to help make the world better.
 We can better explain what we mean in the statement that they were diff ferent from Mary Ellen Lease and others of that particular school who have achieved distinction in the field of mysteries and who being confouud- ed by the unobserving with the nobler apostles of woman suffrage to its great disadvantage.
 Miss Anthony's public career began about fifty-five years ago 1n her la bors for total abstinence and abolition. Perhaps even then she believed, if wo- men were given a voice in the making of laws. the evils of slavery and in temperance might be the more readily overcome. But there was no time then to fashion this instrument of warfare. She wrought among men and won dis tinction beside Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison.
 Wher the war was over and slavery was no mere, when the slaves were freed she took up the enfranchisement of her sex.
