"A woman with a thick veil over her
face was sitting In a chair on a raised
platform gave her q quarter, and
she looked at my hand. One Of the
things she told me was that was
going to have large party at my
house 10 less than a month and that It
would be folIered b. a calamity.
II laughed at that. Thinks | to my.

America to Become ! Neproid Nation

There is no middle course between
resolute maintenance Of the legal
barrier between the races and complete
acceptance Of the principal Of alnalgam-

removed, it would mean such relaxa-

affected; and, finally, the whole Amer

the pure white man being the more or

THE TRAGEDY AT BIsBEE.

That was a horrible affair at Bisbee yesterday morning, in which Asa T. Hoy. one of the owners of the Re view. and a linotype operator, were murdered in the most cowardly man her by a so-called striking printer.
 The dispatches detailing the crime mention that the murderer is prob ably insane, though that statement facts of the killing which appears to have been peculiarly cold blooded and premeditated.
 It may be said that no fiend who engages in such slaughter is in his right mind. but in all well ordered communities where there is a proper respect for the law; where the wealth or standing of the murderer is not permitted to become influential in Ob- structing the course of justice, the murderer is usually adjudged to be sufficiently sane to dangle at the end of a rope.
 From all We can gather from the dispatches, Cochise county will be the worse off and so will the territory. if the court and jury do not arrange hempen holiday for Tombstone and the adjacent country some Friday in the nearest possible future
 The dispatches dwell. we think, un- necessarily on the fact that the mur- derer is an I. T. L. printer and there is also a regrettable lsck of explana- tion of the circumstances of the strike against the Review office, out of which the double murder grew.
 That was not a union strike for the reason, that though the strikers were members of the union. their ac- tion. was not approved by the officers of the L T. '. That they had no grievance against the Review. was decided by President Lynch to whom the matter was referred. The walk out was ptecipitated by the action of MT. Hoy, a part owner of the paper, in taking a place at a linotype ma chine as, under the rules of the union, he had a right to do.
 The union at large, therefore can not be in anyway connected with this bloody affair, unless it should later commit the error of rushing to the defense of the murderer-a thing most unlikely.

publishes a letter. signed An Amer ican Woman" in the department The Pilgrim Scrip" in which the author claims that men have come to realize that in modern industrial con- ditions the majority of them cannot conduct a paying business and live according to the tenets of the Chris tian religion.
 But" he continues, they rebel against the hypocrisy of such a such a course. Americans may be cynics but they are not hypocrites. The motto of the majority may be, If religion interferes with your busi- ness, then cut out your religion but on the other hand, the instinct of the majority is also to demand of those who profess religion that they shall practice it.
 Tt is, for instance, one of our great American jokes-it has already been celebrated in rag-time ballad that Mir John D. Rockefeller teaches Sunday school. The attitude of the average American toward this fellow citizen of our might be translated into these words:
 Conduct your business as you wish, MT. Rockefeller, for, after all. we rather admire sharp practice when it makes good. Put your help less competitors out of the game, drive them to failure, despair and suicide, buy up the Upper House. create a Third House. But don't on top of that, don't we beg of you. have the face to preach the golden rule. Really, MT. Rockefeller, when it comes to this Sunday school proposition. you're nothing but a joke. Beat it."

THE ELECTION OF MIR. FOWLER
 The action of the national irrigation congress in the election of Mir. B. A. Fowler its president is the highest recognition of the services he has performed in the field in which the con- gress itself is laboring.
 Mir. Fowler and George H. Max well did much to bring about the passage of the reclamation act-of which Mir. Maxwell may be said to have been the father, for he had ad- vocated national aid years before it was thought possible that it would ever be extended.
 The value of the services of MT. Maxwell and MT. Fowler in Washing ton while the -NewIands bill was pending cannot be over estimated, and certainly too great credit cannot be given them for se- curing changes in it at the last mo- ment by which its provisions were ex- tended to lands already in private ownership. But for that amendment it would have been of comparatively little benefit to the Salt River valley and regions similarly situated.
 It is probable that as a result of MT. Fowler's election, his connection with the Salt River Valley Water Users Association will be severed. since it is understood that the irriga- tion congress will maintain permanent headquarters in Chicago.

New York. July sporting men in the

showing which was expected. Ihere Is
also a belief that Papke has improved
wonderfully since his last previous tlght

master of the cowboy pugilist, ne IS a
most serious contender for the champion
