4 FIGHT FOR ANGLO SAXON LIBERTY.

When the American colony in the City of Mexico celebrates the Fourth of July, they will omit reading the Declara- tion Of Independence for fear that they will grate harshly on the ears of the English colony. To carry out this courtesy to it's limit, they might pass re- solutions of respect to the memory of George III and wind up by singing "God Save the Queen" At this dis tance, it does appear that Fourth of July celebration with the Declaration of Independence left out would be very much like framed picture of Thomas Jefferson, with the picture left out.- Prescott Courier.
 Possibly the Courier is correct in it's text, but if so THE OASIS has overlooked the fact and doubts the statement It is hardly possible that Americans anywhere would omit reading of the Declaration of Independence on the greatest day in the American calendar; and it is not likely that Englishmen would appreciate snch an omission, for Englishmen recognize that the De-

Yet he can get off with payment of a fine of one hundred dollars, while one who is falsely accused of rob- ping another of six dollars and a half on the highway is sent up for ten years. Surely, there is some thing wrong in the law which per mits of distinction so invidious.

 In respect to the memory of ex- President Grover Cleveland, whose death occurred Wednesday morning of the present week, the flag at the American consulate has been at half staff since that day, and will continue so for period of thirty days. This mark of respect is shown at all American embassies and consulates all over the world

Last night there was at Nogales Mir. George P. Moore, president and general manager of the Tribune Gold Mining & Milling Co.,, who had come right through from the camp at Key de Orc since early morning. This morning Mir. Moore went to Los Angeles, where he has important business, and will go thence to Denver to shout for Bryan. He was accompanied as far as Nogales by his son, Mir. H. D. Moore, who will remain here a few days and return to the camp.
 Whats the matter with the dem ocratic administration of Santa Cruz county. With the entire na- tion showing respect for the mem- ory ofthe only democratic president the country has had since 1860, the court house displays no flag at half staff.

THE INCONSISTENCY OF THE LAW.

Last Saturday THE OASIS pre- sented two accounts of proceedings in criminal cases in the courts of Arizona that emphasize strangely the cruelty and inconsistency of the law. One was of the release from the penitentiary of a mere boy who had served four years of a ten year term imposed upon him for the crime of another; and the crime for which the boy suffered wrongly was the robbery of tray eller on the highway of the sum of six and one half dollars. Even had the lad been guilty, which it is proved he was not, were not ten years a stiff sentence to impose upon a seventeen year old boy for such an offence? Yet that is the law.
 Now, then, take survey of the other case: A man who is forty- five years of age, was convicted of a misdemeanor for which he was fined the remarkable sum of one hundred dollars. And the highest penalty he could have been given under the law would have been a jail sentence of six months, with a fine of some few hundred dollars. Yet the evidence went to show that the defendant, married sixteen years ago to a good woman who within that time had borne him a half dozen children, had taken ad- vantage of the defenceless condition of a miserable, consumptive, orphan girl, his own employe, and that she had given birth to a child by him. He had robbed the poor, miserable, defenceless invalid of her priceless honor, had thrust life upon a human being who is bound to partake of the invalidism of it's mother, and had put the burden of motherhood upon poor, helpless invalid, whose very existence is a burden to herself. That is the awful crime committed by the creature convicted in Justice Trick

Richmond has the notOriety of hav-
ing an unusually large number OF
clubs for its size. Besides the clubs
whose work pertains to music history,
art and literature, are a number of
charitable organizations, such as the
Penny club, Womans Relief Corps and
the Protection Mite club. Through
the efforts of the presidents of these
clubs many prominent women OF the
city have been enrolled. During the
winter season the club world is at its
height. But in the early summer
many of the clubs disband and do not
resume work until the last of Septem-
Der or the first of October. The Pen
ny club does commeudable work at
Christmas time. when about a hundred
children are given a Christmas dinner
and by that is meant everything that
goes with a Christmas dinner.
The following are few of the many
clubs of the city: The Wednesday

termath club was organized in 1884
and was originally limited TO women,
belonging to the society of Friends,
however its membership list now in
cludes women C various denOmina-

the next oldest society being organic
ed in 1889 under the direction OF Miss
Ticknor of Boston, Mass, who organ
lied literary clubs in various cities in

THE WORD "QUACK."
It's Origin Traced Back to the Sixteenth
Century.

Century.
The original and acquired meanings
of many an old word have been clear
ed up in the law courts. When ''quack'
had it's turn, Sir Edward Clarke, who
was probably quoting dictionary, de-
fined the word as "a boastful pretend
err to medical skill" "Quack" is un-
doubtedly derived by suggestion from
the quacking of a duck. The quack
doctor has always substituted volu-
bility for knowledge. "Quacker" and
"quacking cheat were sixteenth CEN
fury words. "Quack" in it's present
sense is certainly as old as 1896. when
It was included in the earliest Of our
slang dictionaries. The original word
was "Quacksalver," a travelling empiric
who Quacked about his salves, and,
according to Henley and Farmer, the
dramatist Wycherly first shortened this
word to "Quack."
The full term, quack doctor, is found
at least as early as ITO, when these
words were used as a title to the Earl
of Rochester's mountebank speech on
Tower hill. This witty and profiigate
nobleman (he lis always called witty
and profligate) took it into his head TO
disappear from his friends and appear
to the mob on Tower hill as a quack
doctor. The speech he made on that
occasion has been preserved, and it
shows that quack oratory has gained
nothing since.
1t is not all printa bic in these polite
pages, but the following passage will
show its character:
