RURTON-JoHNsoN CONTEST.
City MRyOra1ty Campaign is Atract-
 ing National Attention.

IMk N0tkOmal AIttntAOns Cleveland, (Ohio,) Special.
 The contest between Mayor Tom L. Johnson and Congressman Theodore l.. Burton as the Democratic and Republ- can nominees, respectively. for Mayor of Cleveland. promises to be the most exciting political event in the history of this city, not excepting campaigns some years ago in which the late Sen ator Hanna was the central figure.
 The Democratic Executive Committee has called the city convention at which Mayor Johnson and the ticket with him is to be named for September 19. Mayor Johnson has declined to discuss the matter since the announcement of Bur ton as a candidate but 1t Is said he has assurances that w. J. Bryan and other leading Democrats from various parts of the country will come here to make speeches in his behalf.
 Cleveland Is regarded as a normally Republican city, by from 1000 to 10000 majority in National elections, and up to the advent of Mayor Johnson six years ago, the Republicans had ruled the city and county for years with the exception of isolated cases such as the election of Mayor Farley following the defeat of the McKisson administration. and the rehabilitation of the faction led by Senator Hanna.
 In the last two campaigns made by Johnson, he succeeded in increasing the plurality which he gained in his first election six years ago, and In his last race which was two years ago, he piled up plurality of nearly 12.00O.
 The county as well as the city adnlin- istration has, as result of the John son leadership, became nearly solidly Democratic.
 In selcting Mir. Burton to oppose Mayor Johnson. the Democratic lead CTS admit that the Republicans have put forward their strongest man, ard while they assert Johnson will win. they concede that Is 1t now anybody's race.
 It was Burton who defeated Johnson after the latter had served two terms in Congress. having been previously elected as a Democrat in a district which was largely Republican.
 Since that campaign, MT. Burton has continued to represent the district in Congress. and has been returned bi-en- nially without opposition in his own party. and either unopposed by the Democrats or with only perfunctorv op- position.
 Mfr Burton's political managers as- sert that his probable candidacy for the seat of Senator Foraker is in no way affected by his race for Mayor. what ever the result O. the election in No vember may be. and that he will retain his seat in Congress and the Chairman ship of the Rivers and HarbOrs CoSn- mittee. at least until after the Mayer altY election.

Centuries and thousands of centuries cut no figure in such matters. still. the Wyoming discoveries are interest ing.
HE KNEW HOW.

The Advertiser had somewhat to say recently on the subject of dull scholars. and on that subject we copy this from The Richmond Times Dispatch:
 Ter Manual School, at Crozet, was per- maps the best friend the dull pupil ever had in Virginia. He had many such pupils in his school, and he gave them more attention than he paid to the bright pupils. He made a study of them. and special study of each in dividual He finally discovered that the only way to arouse the dull pupil was to arouse his interest. He ques- toned him: he experimented with him, until he found something in the school or shop which the dullard liked. It may have been book; 1t may have been a machine. But whatever 1t chanced to be. he employed 1t until he interested the pupil. That donel by degrees he directed his attention to other subjects. and so turned all his mental forces into activity. In the last lecture we heard from him on educational topics he out lined his plan. and stated. as we re- collect, that he had never made fail ure.
 Here is a pointer that might be of value to other teachers who have the time, opportunity and patience to carry out Captain Vawter's methods. It is not every teacher who could do what he did. and not every one who has the time, but we think it will be ad- mitted that he pursued the proper course. There must be way by which the pride, the ambition and the | np La ha reached, and this teacher evidently knew how to go about it. We join our contemporary in wishing for more missionaries like Captain Vawter."

"A few million dollars judiciously expended would make all our larger rivers navigable," observes The Line vile Headlight, and 1t thinks this might prove "a wise solution of our railway troubles" It will take more than a few millions, but 1t would be money well spent. The congestion of freight on the railroads is becoming a common thing, and increased river navigation would relieve 1t to a great extent.

Mir. Henry M whitney. the well known capitalist and publicist of Mas sachusetts, has been turning a little cold. white light upon Mir. Roosevelt's scheme for "a national incorporation law for corporations engaged in i'm terstate commerce" He finds, says The New York Times. that there are in the State of Massachusetts alone, 2,555 corporations. with $S00.OOO,OOO of capital. producing some $s1O,OOO.OOO of commodities each year, and employing over S5O,OOO men and women. Practi- calIy all their products enter into in- terstate commerce. Says MT. Whitney:
 What a beautiful thing it would be. and how pleased and grateful they all would be. if they were obliged to go to Washington to have their business o. K'd by the government before they could make a shoe or yard of cot ton cloth! The thing is not only i'm practical but absurd. And further more. what a comprehensiyS and eff fective scheme for obtaining campaign contributions and for corrupt practices such a policy might be made to be.

forever. is most earnestly to be hoped, and it may be expected: but that time is remote. It is only possible when men shall have become equal in fact: equal in the attainment of the highest civilization: when all men are honest. are just. true to themselves and to every duty that the perfection of civ iliZation imposes; when nations as na- tions shall have ceased to exist. when disputes among men will not. because they cOnnot, arise. When all peoples may be approaching that degree of per lection. and while every effort should be made to further it, we are peminded by the history of the past that that progress is slow. And while, too, all nations are travelling toward that per lection, it is not upon parallel but up- on convergent and perhaps indirect lines. with different rates of progress, and having attained different stages in that progress, with different ideals of the end to be attained and the means to that end. We must, therefore. ex- pect at times a clash between these converging lines, and that clash will almost certainly find its manifestation in war.
 War is but a manifestation of force; of the force that is the impetus of the onward movement of civilization. That nation which is passive. which only passively resists the retrogressive ele- ments Of evolution. becomes stagnant, then weak. until, if happily that may

subsequently, located but he was un- able to throw much light on the trans action. The chicken coop was there when he took possession of the prop erty and he believed then that it be- longed to the ranch. He saw no req son now to change his mind. Finally he and the stranger suggested that they come to Phoenix and leave it to a lawyer. Mir. Goebel assented and the trio came to town. It was suggested by Mir. Merritt that they go to Judge Burnett. Mir. GoebeI was willing but he said that he would make no state ment of his side of the dispute but would be willing to accept the opin- ion of the attorney based on his re- ceipt and the showing made by the stranger and Mir. Merritt. The attor- ney decided that Mir. Goebers chain of title was complete but here was an- other chain running back to the coop through MT. Merritt; the thing to do to avoid a possible replevin suit was to deliver the coop to Mir. Goebel and if Mrs. Morgan were aggrieved there by she could fall back upon MT. Mer- ritt That gentleman objected. He re- garded the sale of the ranch and all appurtenances thereunto belonging as a closed iHcident The attorney point ed out to. him that he had relief against Mir. Chenowith. Mir. Merritt replied that Mir. Chenowith was not present and might not feel bound by the adjudication.
 The thing was left in that indef- mite shape and the parties went out when Mir. Goebel reminded his com paniops that the lawyer had not been paid obr his advice. He said the con- sultation of an attorney was not of his suggestion and he did not think that he should be called upon to pay any part of the fee. The others were of the opinion that it was quite appro- priate that he should pay the entire fee since the decision had been in his favor. He replied that the decision had not put him. in actual possession of the chicken coop and besides. it had not strengthened the theoretical possession which was already estab- lished by his receipt from Mir. Smith. No move was made in the matter yes- terday.

 AT DOUGLAS
Over the Kidnapping of
 Mexican RevOIutiOnist
The Arrest of Consul MaZa and Participating Ameri- can Officials.

Douglas, Ariz., July 3.-(Special)- Feeling was running very high in Douglas today and tonight over the Kidnapping of Manuel Sarabia on Sum- day morning. A strong resolution was sent to President Roosevelt. United States Attorney General Bonaparte and Secretary of State Root by prominent on Monday night.
 The following arrests were made to- day on the charge of Kidnapping: Mex ican Consul Antonio Maza, City Con- stable Shropshire, Ranger Sam Hay hurst, Policeman Lee Thompson and the chauffeur who drove the automo- bile carrying the party. All were re- leased in 5000 bond each, Consul Ma za's bond being furnished by the An drews custOmhouse brokerage com pany.
 The question of legality of the arrest of the Mexican consul was looked into carefully by the best lawyers in the city who decided on legal action. Dow dle the Pinkerton man got away before a warrant for his arrest could be serv- ed, bound for Cananea. The Industrial Mexican. a paper published here states authentically today that Sarabia was taken to the prison at San Juan De Ulim in Vera Cruz where his brother Juan is now confined on the same charge. and where it is stated prison CTS die within eight months of rheuma- tism and consumption on account of the water in the cells. Manuel was secretary of the revolutionary paper the Regeneration published in St. Louis.
 Tonight a mass meeting attended by fully 1000 excited men and about half and half Mexicans and Americans and among the speakers were the most prominent lawyers and business men of Douglas.
 The trend of the talk greatly de- plored and several criticised the sc- but sought to curb public feeling. The city officials and Ranger Hayhurst were severely criticised for the parti- cipaticn. Threats against Consul Maza were heard on every hand and it is
