THE RIGHT STAND.

In the iron mining regions of Minnesota there has been precipi-
 tated strike by miners, and the situation is somewhat strained. Governor Johnson is quoted as saying to some of the striking min CTS that if there are men who wish to work in their places they will be protected in doing so, even though the entire military force of the state be employed in guaran- teeing that protection. That de- claration of the Minnesota governor has the right ring, and is in strange contrast to the course of the chief executive of California, who has permitted for weeks in the chief city of the state the existence of anarchy that is perfectly intoler- able. Trades unionism is all right in its place, and is beneficial in it's results and ends so long as it is within the law. But when 1t re.

sorts Co force and violence to carry its ends it puts itspli outside the pale of the law, and those whoso duty is Co maintain order have but one duty, which is clear and plain; and that is enforcement of the law at all hazards, and no matter at what cost. In free government there should be no temporizing with the mob spirit; for such course paves the way only to a condition that will cause society to discard as useless and inefficient self government by the people, and substitute in it's stead the govern ment of the military despot. Pre- servation of democratic institutions demands control of the mob and prevention of such conditions as exist in San Francisco today. Gov ernor Johnson of Minnesota seems to have grasped the vital principle at stake, and it is to be hoped sim cerely that he will have the stamina to make good his brave and truth ful words.

From Boston she will go to New London, Conn, to visit her son who is in business there. Returning, Mrs. Melczer will stop at Phoenix for a short visit before going to her home in San Rafael, Cal.

way becomes enveloped immediate. ly in an air of dense ignorance and mystery, with aaonized friends and relatives of those on the iateiul trains keyed up Co the most intense feelings of fear and excitement, without a word from any of the railway officials to give them re- lief; when a few words upon the bulletin board at the stations, giv- ing a plain statement of when and where the wreck occurred, what trains are involved, with a promise to give further details as received, would go long way toward giv- ing relief. Then follow the first announcement with additional bull letlns as further details are re- ceived. That would be the pub licity that the public wants and desires. Instead of that there is always the most profound official silence and mystery whenever there occurs a great wreck, the suffering public and agonized relatives of passengers and public are kept in a torturing suspense for hours, until the enterprising newspapers can get reporters to the scene of the accident and receive from them their stories of the disaster, with ac- counts of the killed and injured. All that information the railway company can and should supply in half hour bulletins, posted on the station bulletin boards. That is the kind of publicity that the public want and should be given. Such publicity as given in the statement that has been included in this article is delusion and a snare. It may be keeping the promise of the company for full and complete publicity, but 1t is a violation of the spirit of the prom ise. Publicity belated until three weeks after the event Is a long way short of real publicity. And pub- licity about an inconsequential freight wreck is of no public use whatever. If the Southern Pacific wish to render the public real service the publicity 1t vouchsafes should be when there are great acci- dents to passenger trains, in which the public have an interest, and it should be conveyed at once, through the simple and easily available method outlined herein.

DON'T MEET THE DEMAND.

As THE OASIS was about to go to press last week 1t received from the district agent of the Southern Pa cifc at Tucson an account of the result of an official investigation of a freight train wreck at Sentinel, Arizona, on the first of July, more than three weeks before. Acom- paaying the statement or account was a letter from the official named conveying the information that the account was sent in accordance with the recently adopted policy of the company to give full publicity to all accidents occurring on it's lines, which letter closes with re- quest that it be handled as a matter of news" Now three weeks after the event is a long time for news" even in weekly publica- tion, in this day and generation. But the matter is given space at this time, and in this place, not as a matter of news, but as a topic for discussion. Here is the official account:
 Vice-Presidept and General Manager of the Southern Pacific has made public final investiga ton of the accident occur ing at Sentinel, Arizona, s :45 D. III. July Ist Freight extra 2729 ran into the rear end of freight extra 2785 while talk ing the siding in order to permit the passage of eastbound passenger train No. f. Itis shown that the responsibili ty for the accident is divided between the rear brakeman of the freight train which was on the siding and the engineer of freight extra 2728. There was a clear view of rear lights of 27S5 for distance of three and half miles and the engi- neer of 272S stated that he knew that the preceding train was not to clear and had applied air to reduce speed, but owing to the fiagman of the preceding train not dropping off at sufficient distance back of where his train had to take siding, train No. 272S was not under control soon enough to prevent collision. Caboose of extra 27S5 was destroyed and four or five oil cars dam aged resulting in loss of several thou sand dollars Action will immediately he taken with the parties found at fault.
 As THE OASIS understands the situation statements of this kind, published weeks after the event don't meet the public demand by any means. In the first place the public have no interest whatever in an inconsequential freight wreck. But it is the big wrecks of passenger trains, attendant as they are with great loss of life, in which the pub lie are interested. And they want at the earliest moment possible such information as the company has and can give. But always at that time every official of the rail-

It is needless to say that as in all his journeyings MT. Bird will do all that is possible to make his trip of interest and value to Nogales.

"WHY is the republican party?" asks plaintively the Arizona De- mocrat. That's easy. Because the Whig and Democratic parties had made such a bungle in the govern ment of the United States that in 1854, in response to popular de- mand, the republican party arose, and except during three peri ods of four years each (and each a period of disaster), has success fully governed the country ever since.

before the LIST Of June. Pansies and
daisies can usually be set out after
April and in an early spring even
sooner. Nerbena, ten week stock and
other half hardy kinds may be safely
planted the first week Of May as a rule,
earlier or later according to the season.
Allow six inches space for all the Or
