Spencer and Grady

Samuel Spencer, who was killed the
other day in a wreck on the railroad Of
which he was president. and Henry
Grady. who built up the Atlanta Constl-
tuition, were intimate friends from early
boyhood to the day Of Grady's death.
They graduated Ia the same class at a
Georgia college, and each watched the
others career with an interest that
abides only in genuine friendship Grady
attained national distinction while Spen-
Ger was occupying an inconspicuous posi-
uon in railroad life bat their friendship
was just as warm then as ever. Dir.
Spencer ungrudgingly acknowledged the
impress made upon his mind and charac-
ter by Mr.. Grady, and frequently stated
that perhaps but for the brilliant EDITORS
preachments about the New South" he
might have attached himself TO railroad
interests in the West. where the OppOr-

sIcCIeary or Laceyt

The friends in the House Of the two
most noted standpatters who were de-
feated for re-electiOn-Mr. McCIeary. OF
Minnesota. and Mr. Lacey, Of Iowa-are
urging each Of them upon the President
for the vacancy that soon will be created
in the Office Of Commissioner Of the Gen
eral Land Office by the retirement Of 8fr.
Richards. Of Wyoming Their friends are
doing this on the principal that by urging
both Of them with equal fervor, the Pres
idcnt viii be more apt 10 select one OF
them than he would be should they in
doTse only one. Mr Lacey IS chairman
OF the Committee on Public Lands, and
IS therefore supposed 70 be more familiar
with matters with which be would have
70 deal as Commissioner OF the General
Land Office than Mr.. McCIeaTy. But the
claims OF the latter are supposed to be
strong by reason Of the bold stand he
took in his campaign on the tariff Ques-
ton. His selection would in a sense be
particularly gratifying 70 that large and
lusty element Of Republicans who de-
claim against the tariff being touched at
all unless schedules be raised. Should the
President appoint the MinnesOtan he
would by that act openly Identify hiIH-
self with the standpat element OF his
party. and thus serve notice on the coun-
try that there viii be TO attempt TO re-

The First Annual Commencement of the Bisbee High School was held in the Opera House Friday evening, June 1st.,
 Although everybody was under great excitement at the time, over the trouble in Mexico, yet every seat was taken. On the platform in the semi circle were seated President Babcock, superintendent of schools, MT. Rock feller. Principal Philbrook and wife, Assistant Principal Miss Riley, the teachers from all the public schools, the Board of Education, the ministers of the city and in their midst the four sweet girl graduates.
 The music for the evening was un- der the direction of Prof. Krinbill, di- rector of Bisbee schools, assisted by Clarence Krinbill, pianist.
 The High School glee club organiz- ed by Prof. Krinbill has done excellent work during the year as was shown by the selections of the evening. {.
 The orations by the graduates were listened to with interested attention
 The address by President Babcock was most instructive although deIiy- cred under trying circumstances. It was unfortunate that the graduating exercises came just at the time when the people were under the greatest strain they have had since the Indians came twenty-five years ago.
 President Babcocll in the beginning of his address spoke of the progress made during the year in the Terri torial university. In his address he said in part:
 ssThe University trains students for all departments in life and trains for leadership. All students are pioneers, pathfinders and many are tenderfeet.
