ment and adjoining Company /, this ar
rangement making ii pleasant for all
the Brattleboro boys. The officer of the
day remarked yesterday that the band
would receive an unusually high mark
in sanitary inspection. 1t is conceded
bv all regular army officers TO be the
best band at Mt Gretna since the
camp was opened in July. Its concert
last evening was heard with interest
and enthusiasm by musicians from sew
en- regular army bands.
All the Brattleboro boys are Feeling
well now that they are rested from the
hard trip down and If regular army
rations were a little more plentiful and
varied they would be perfectly salts
fed. The duties of the band so far
have been lighter than ever before.
shorty Hall as cook, and his assis-
tants. Ed Gonyer and "Gobble" Can
edy. are doing wonders with the ma
terial they have at command. Sewall
Morse and Hal March have become eX-
perts with the buck saw and Sergeant

rake artist. "Allie" Dugan made a
hit at the concert on the boat with
his song. Good Bye Mr.. Greenback.
Col. ]. G. Estey and staff were
called before General Grant soon after
the arrival of the regiment and in
structed about the work to be done.
The Vermonters are in the third bri-
gade in command of Col. L. G. Allen

by the oppressive heat and had to be
brought back to camp in an ambulance
Several Others were affected by the
hot weather but are able to be on duty
today.

NO DEBTS WANTED.

The taxpayers of Arizona don't pro. pose to be saddlcd with the enormous debt of New Mexico. That's tfc i'm. portant reason why Arizonn voters will east their votes against the joint statehood scheme. The bonded indebt. edness of New Mexico Is double that of Arizona, and several New Mexico counties nre on the verge of bankrupt. cy. The joint statehood bill provides that the new joint state shall assume the debts of both territories, and if we were foolish enough to accept the proposition. the property of our peo. pie would be taxed to the limit to pay off n parcel of old debts in New Mex leo foisted upon the people of that territory ny a gang of political graft. CTS who every two years dominate the actions of n Mexican legislature and appropriate inc territory's funds with q lavish hand. Arizona is getting along very well. thank you. The tax rate is being steadily reduced. The mines and railroads arc annually being compelled to pay more of their just proportion of taxation. Taxes are not n burden in Arizona nt present. and will continually grow smaller. unless we desire to pay of the liabilities of New Mexico by voting to assume n part of the indcbt. edncss of that territory under the pro. visions of the Hamilton joint state. hood bill.

JAIL SENTENCES FOR ICE TRUST
 MA0NATEs.

The Toledo rec trust men will not SO much mind the .jOOO fines, but the years imprisonment in the workhousc IS quite different. Imprisonment ear ries with lt disgrace. and disfranchisc. men,. and nobody but n confirmed iail. bird really likes i,.
 tcnccs will bc served. There may bc n day in som. wardcn's office, and par don Though we may bc unwilling to confess ii. the fact needs m demon. stratiop that few rich hwbYcakcks are actually sent to jail for their crimes. And this does not mean the use of money in corrupting judges. iurics, or officials. for that is far rarer than some suppose. But it means the use of money in employing the clcvcrcst lawyers. and in taking advantage of every possible tecbnicality. from the lowest to inc highest courts. to put oH the day of reckoning. break down cvi. dcnec. and reduce the gravity of the offence
 The famous rebate eases, recently concluded. ended in jail sentences, as well as fines. These sentences, too, are likely to ic modified or compromis. ed in some way. Hut it serves to i'm. press upon people the gravity of a crime when the sentence carries a jail term. Influential citizens do not like to be sentenced to the penitcn,i. ary, and it is going to bc harder and harder h escape inc disgraee and cx. posture. even though the punishment by courts may be relieved of some of it's irksomcness.
 To hnrass the Iawbrenkcrs, and to disgrace them may be but little less effective than jail sentences. The money fines count for very little, and it takes some kind of punishment that strikes the body or the pride. There are many ways to escape the pcnitcn. tinry. but there are fewer nnd fewer wnys of avoiding the disgrace. And disgrace to the guilty is q punishment that the public can inAict without any reference io courts and jurics or the technieaIitics of the law. An aroused public sentiment will bring about n better condition more quickly than a formal prosecution, by demanding n higher standard and publicly lisgrac. ing those who fall below it.

TWO MEX|CAMs AR[ INJURED N IN
 EXPLOSION

About two o'clock Tuesday morn ing the men at work in the lower lev els of the Humboldt were startled to henr report of blast in the vicinity of the powder room. and upon invest. gaticn found Jesus Ortega and Jesus Leyba in trouble, says the Bisbee Re view.
 A party of their fellow workmSn went to their assistance and found inc body of Ortega horribly mangled, and Leyba apparently blinded. The men had gone to the powder box to iix their fuse and caps for the purpose of setting ofr the holes they had just finished drilling, and in some upac' eonniable manner the caps and powder exploded. Ortega was instantly kill ed by the explosion, and as soon as possible Ortega was hoisted to the surface and Doctor Gillian was snm' moned. -'
 The body of Ortcga was SO badly mnngled that it wns necessary to use rubber blanket to gather up the remains and hoist them to the surface, where ' wss found that nearly the whole of one side of the body was torn away, parts of the limhs and flesh of the victim were found seat tered around the set where the aeci. dent occurred.
 It Is impossible to get the details of how the accident occurred, but it s thought that in some manner the dynamite caps on the ends of the fuse came in contact with the wall and in that manner were exploded, setting of all the others in the vicinity. The ae- ceased was single man of about es years of age, and had only been ht work Tor the company for about three months. Leyba luckily escaped any serious injury and after the doctor had worked on his eyes and face picking out tho grave, and dust he was ready to go to work. It was . miracle both men were not killed.

Editorial Comment
CALLS TT MooNsHINE.

J. !. lIagerman. n prominent citizen of New Mexico. and father of Governor Hsgerman. was interviewed on the sub ject of statehood in santa Fe th. oth. CT day, and among other things he said were the following:
 "I do not take unlimited stock in the theory that, if Arizona and New Mexico do not accept joint state. hood now, they will not get statehood of any sort in fifty years. Neither territory should bc driven into it. If they cannot join hands for good reas. ons they should not join hands at all.
 Some people say they think that rousing favorable majority here would result In statehood for New Mexico immediately. They imagine e majority In congress will pat New Mexico on the back and say: "Good boy, you voted for what we knew you wanted, and what you have been crying for, for 20 years snd what he have repeatedly refused because we believed you did no, deserve it, but now we will give you the suearea plum wheth. sr you deserve it or not. That is all nioonsbine in my opinion.
 
 . '.The majority in congress is con. trollsd by gooi reasons and not by sen timeht. Nothing has sufficiently changed in New Mexico for the bet ter since the last proposition for single statehood was defeated, as to give any reasonable hope for different result now, should We apply for admission.
 ''I firmly believe. however, that n arge majority in favor of jointurc would be likely to help us in this way. We could with good reason say to con. gress; You will not let us try 'o gov. ern ourselves be,ausc you think we are unfit ,o do it You say We must vastly reduce the percentage of illit. eracy, get more people, more wealth, have better legislative assemblies, more thoroughly Amcricanize ourselves. get rid of the need of interpreters in our public institutions. and make th. Eng. fish language dominant everywhere. We admit that we must do as you say, and wait for statehood until you say we can safely assume it. Now help us: give us some of the land, some of the proceeds of the snl,s of public land, some of the money you offered "a the proposed new. stat. of Arizona. for the support of common schools and educational institutions, help us as you are helping Porto Rico and the Philippines; we need the help as much as the proposed new state would have needed it, as Arizona would not accep, the help, there is every reason why large share of it should be given to us. so we raD meet your eXacting require ments for admission as soon as pos. siblc.'
 - believe such an appeal would be listened io favorabIy, provided we do rot foolishly at once begin to bon,. bard, tens" ana disgust congress. dc. manding immediate statehood with. out being able to give any better reas. ons for 1t than W" have given hereto. forc.'
