The Blues went down in defeat last
Sunday before a team OF fast PROBES

The Blues touched Zehner Tor SIX

Zehner twirled a beautiful game and
was absolutely unhittab1e in the

The outcome of the contest might
well be summed up by saying that
while the local team was a strong one,
the visiting aggreg alton was consider
ably stronger and fully merited the
victory it achieved. AS matter OF
fact, the Blues would not have scored
at all had not Miller muffed short

to trot across the pan and register the

bunch.

Another Term lor Coy. Sanders.


Under the above caption the New
Orleans Times Democrat has an ex-
ceedingly level and well-direeted
editorial against the proposal recently
made to change the constitution for
Gov. Sanders benefit SO as to permit
his reelection.
It must be confessed that The Chief
had not taken the suggestion seriously,
but charged it up to the exuberance OF
the banquet and the good fellowship
of the jolly crowd.
The Times Democra at is right in the
declaration that any such movement
ought 10 be condemned, and If
seriously made, fought at every point
from start to finish. No sound reason
can be advanced for it from the stand
point of the welfare Of the community.
The only possible ground for it lies in
purely personal polities-to enable a
particular clique to maintain its hold
on the offices of the state. The very
fact that this is desired is in and of
itself full iustideAtion for opposing
the scheme.
This proposition is like killing
snakes. Every good citizen ought to
hit it a crack whenever it pokes it's
head up.

The pieayune and Roman History.

The Chief notes with pleasure that
the esteemed New Orleans Picay une is
picking up on its Roman history.
Our valued contempt rary has now not
only come to recognize that Rome had
great commerce, but percefves that the
commercial conquest of 6 aul was well
on the way before its military con-
quest By Julius Caes ar.
The Roman wholesale houses had
sdrummers ID Gaul, and from these
Caesar got his Information OF the
country before the invasion.

Lack of Information In The Navy
Dnnar.fmnnf


The recent display OF want OF IN
formation on the part of naval Off
Gals in Washington is deplorable. to
say the least. Some of these dfgni-
tartes have reported TO the secretary
of the navy that the battleship Mis-
sissippi cannot cross the bar at the
mouth of the Mississippi river and go
up that stream as far as Natehez to
receive the silver service with which the
people Of the state whose name she
bears desire to present her.
The Mississippi is 375 feet long, II
feet wide and draws less than twenty
five feet when fully laden with ammuni-
ton, sea stores and coal. She is 20
feet shorter than the battleship Louis
lana that safely entered South Pass
two years ago. e is a matter OF
weekly occurrence that merchant yes
sells from $40 to 5l2 feet long and draw
ing from &c to 281 feet of water enter
South Pass and proceed to the New
Orleans wharves without detention or
obstruction.
Tae records of the war department
show that there is ample water for the
Mississippi to enter the pass and go
up at least 300 miles at any stage OF
the river. just now she might readily
travel several hundred miles farther
without danger or difficulty.
We have no doubt that the navy de-
partments OF England. France, Ger
many, Holland, Norway and Spain
have this information accurately on
file. For our own naval officers to be
ignorant of the access to our own
country is condition sufficient toeall
bushes to the cheek.
It is not to be believed that they
have been deliberately untruthful.

Does anyone imagine that on the

Was it not, in fact, an insult to

A Solemn Warning.

A Solemn Warning.
The long and futile fight of
James P. Storm, the defaulting
treasurer of Yavapai county,
ought to convey a solemn and
impressive lesson to all public
officials. Every device known
to the legal profession was en-
ployed to save Storm from pay
ing the penalty of his crime, but
in the end justice was triumphant
While there are many who be-
lieve that Storm was not wholly
responsible for the luting of the
treasury. and he is the object of
much sympathy because of the
peculiar circumstances surround
ing the affair, yet law abiding
citizens generally admit that the
punishment of Storm was necces-
sary to uphold the laws and
thereby preserve the fundamen-
tai principles of government.
The people of Yavapai county
are to be congratulated upon
having had an aggressive and
fearless district attorney in the
office in the person of Robt. E.
Morrison, as it was due to his
vigilance and ability that the
conviction was obtained.-J
