FROM a PoPULIsT VIEW.

The resolutions being af7onte7 nv
republican conventions all over the
state would seem to indicate that the
party is really setting out to get even
with the railroads. Republican poll
uelans all over the state grow red
with righteous indignation in the con-
Ventlons and declare that they will not
ride on the railroads unless they are
allowed to pay their fare 1t win be
pretty tough on the railroads if the
politicians all refuse to ride on passes
pear to be badly frightened. IN fact.
we notice that in very many of the
conventions the anti-pass resolutions
are introduced by railroad ATTORNEYS.

ARIZONA MEXICAN
 WORKED THE JuAREZITEs

Alberto Vargas, a Mexican boy about nineteen years old, was convict ed Tuesday morning of vagrancy in the police court at Juarez. He claimed to be from Solomonyille, Arizona. He was working the deal and dumb rack ct on the lower class of Mexicans. and was getting small per cent of their earnings.
 Chief of Police once saw the young man. and at once came to the conclu- sion that he was fake, and made an effort to get him to talk, which failed. A few minutes later another police man came within hearing distance, but where he could not be seen. The chief then told the policeman. so the fakir could hear him, that he thought the dummy" was wanted somewhere in the interior on serious charge.
 The boy, no sooner hearing this, started for this side of the river. He was arrested and taken to the police court with the above results. h the police station he threatened to com init suicide, to which the officers paid no attention.

DEsPoNpENcY OVER ILL HEALTH GIVEN AS CAUSE FOR
 RASH ACT.

Word was brought to Kingman that the badly decomposed body of Ide Hamblin had been found in pile os brush near Chicken Springs by a party of searchers.
 Hambiin had disappeared from the San Francisco mine two weeks before and although systematic search was made, DO trace of him could be found.
 The unfortunate man had blown the entire top of his head of with a shot gun. and the only means of identifi- cation was the clothing he wore ct the time of his disappearance.
 He had been ii several months and it was thought that he was mentally unbalanced, although he talked ra- tionaiy on ali subjects. The death of his brother-in-law, Sheriff Thos. Logan. who was recently killed by a gambler at Manhattan. Nevada, depressed him greatly. and it was while laboring un- der great mental stress that he went back to the San Francisco mine. near which place be ended his life.
 Deceased had been resident Of Hohave county more than twenty years. and had followed the occupa- ton of mining He had many friends who win regret his tragic demise.

ACCIDENT AT FAIRBANK
 RESULTS IN DEATH

Ernest Scranton, the young man who met with a serious mishap at Fairbank about three weeks ago, in accidentally being shot, died at the Bacon hospital and sanitarium this morning about g o'clock. Deceased was about sixteen years of age. He met his death in tragic manner. while in the act of crawling under a fence his shotgun, which was left leaning against the fence, fell to the ground and exploded, the entire charge taking effect in the right shoulder. He was brought to Tombstone as rapidly as possible, but the wound received was too serious to hold out much hope for his recovery. Everything that medical science and hospital facilities
 0uid afford proved of no avail, and although the young man showed re, markable fortitude and bore his sui. ferings with heroic bravery, he was obliged to succumb to the Reaper. Ii is probable that the funeral will be held tomorrow-Tombstcne Prospec. tor

 MES NEXT SUNDAY.

DOUGLAS, May 31.-(Special.)- The First Baptist Church, of Doug las, will be dedicated on Sunday next.

Cummings Buys Home.

Baltimore, Md, April ga
handsome three-story house on
North Gilmore street was sold at
auction yesterday and knocked
kown to Harry Cummings, the
colored lawyer, who seconded the
nomination of President Roose-
velt at the Chicago convention.
Cummings declined to say for
whom he bought the property, and
Indignation ran high at the report
that it was bought for a colored
congregation who propose to use it
for an orphan asylum.
"We will not tolerate a horde of
little picaninnies running about
the streets and playing about our
front steps," said a matron today.
The moving of one colored fam
lily into a neighborhood has invar-
iably resulted in general exodus
of whites and depreciation of at
least so per cent in the value of
all the property.

his own roof and sleeping in his
own bed.
The sufferers from such outrages
can obtain no redress, except
through those retaliating measures
that must lead to anarchy and
bloodshed among the parties con-
cerned. There is no tribunal by
which to try, condemn, and by
which to punish the offenders.
The weak must surrender to the
strong, and right must give sway
to might.
When in the course of human
experience such wrongs become
too oppressive to be born, history
shows that governments are insti-
tuted among men deriving their
just powers from the consent of
the governed. If such be true,
and who will deny it? We come
directly to the conclusion, that a
government of the Negro by the
Negro and for the Negro, ordained
by congress among the Negroes, is
without contradiction the only
form under which the case may
ever expect to enjoy a more per-
feet freedom, secure equal justice,
provide for common defense, pro
vide for a common defense, and
secure the blessings of freedom to
the race and its posterity.-Wm.
Shaw, in Freeman.

This great problem of the ages
was given to America to solve
when her colonies brought our an
cesters from old Africa and settled
them as slaves among the vine
clad hills and jassamine groves of
the Southland of these United
States. There they cleared the
forest, titled the fields, built the
cities and made that Southland
habitutable for the race which
kept them in bondage for more
than two hundred years. In the
course of time the yoke was taken
from their necks and they were
free.
Forty years of freedom look
down upon their descendants to-
day. Let us be so by ourselves
and for ourselves. Let Us leave
our neighbors to live peaceably
under the laws of the government
which they have made for them
selves.
But when it becomes necessary
for one people to separate them
selves from another, and to seek
among the powers of the states,
the separate and equal station to
which the laws of nature. and the
laws of the nation entitle them a
decent respect to the opinions of
Congress requires, that they should
declair the causes which impel
them to the separation.
The present history of the
Southern states is a history of re-
peated wrongs and oppression; all
having in direct object the estab-
lishment of an absolute subjuga-
ton over the Negro race. Every
leaf is a souvenir of slavery. To
prove this let facts be submitted
to a candid people.
They have refused their consent
to laws the most Wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
They have taken from the Ne
gro those inalienable rights to
which the laws of nature and of
natures God entitle him, among
these are life, liberty and the pur-
suits of happiness.
They have substantially elimi-
mated the common law of justice
and substituted therein a mob law,
the most horrid, cruel and revolt
ing.
They have given their aid and
comfort to the white cap clan, who
plunder the Negroes home, ravage
his fields, and keep him in con-
slant danger while reposing under
