LAST week Friday the (hand lor- gan had tale of woe about how the two Dromios had wired the Associated Press agency at Denver to send them "a full report,n of the earthquake in San Francisco, and they were very wroth at the way their request was neglected. They promised that when their invest igation' is complete those "con- cerned" will face some sort of con- sequences. Now the alleged news paper has been pretending to give the people of Nogales telegraph news daily for many months. Had they been doing what they pre- tended they would not have need- ed to wire the Associated Press to send them the news, for it would have come right along to them. as it did to the Tucson, Fl Paso, AL buquerque, PhGnix and Prescott daily newspapers, which came with column after column of details, which would have come to the al- legged newspaper had 1t been talk

THE WAYS OF MAN

Even in time of the most dire calamity there occur circumstan- ces which seem to some supremely ridiculous, but which are taken in all seriousness by the actors there in. In that class may be placed the efforts put forth immediately after the recent terrible calamity at San Francisco, by certain cler- gymen in all parts of the coun- try, to disclaim any notion of the dire visitation upon the Golden City having been manifestation of Divine wrath and a deserved punishment for the sins of it's peo- pie. One would suppose that at this day of modern enlightenment such notions would have no places in the minds of men; but from the haste with which so many teachers of religion hastened to denial, 1t would seem plainly apparent that fhere ire those who yet take their Inspiration from the prophets of woe ln the ancient Hebrew dispen- satlon. and look upon public cal an4iti,~, fire and flood, earthquake and tornado, as visitations of the Almighty upon the sins of the peo- pie. Almost invariably, when clergyman, whether in an interview or in sermon, has touched upon this topic he has asserted that he had been asked if the San Fran cisco calamity were not such al visitation, and most of them have pointed their denials with allu- sion to the saviour's reply to those who asked the same about the fal- ling tower that killed the just man, that such occurrences come within the range of human ex- perience and cannot be ascribed Q the special interference of Deity. It was in the times of Isaiah, Jer- emiah, and the long line of re- ligious teachers of the ancient dis pensation who had but one way of ruling men, and that through fear of the wrath of the Almighty, that such doctrine was generally be- lieved. But it is very evident that there are yet some who believe it. Those who do very evidently pay more attention to the dire prophe- cies and maledictions of the Old Testament than to the doctrine of hope and love in the New Testam- ent Rather than the message Of love given by tie Saviour they bear in mind the diatribes of Isaiah or
