FERRERo AMERICAS DEFENDER


Guglielmo Ferraro, the italian his
torian, who some time ago made a
lecturing tour Of this country, has
been contributing series of articles
to a Paris paper, in which he has
endeavored to dissipate some old Eu-
ropean ideas as to America and Amer
leans. In his latest article he refers
to the moral upheaval in America
against some of the methods of high
finance" and he declares that instead
of giving proof as Europe has viewed
it, that America is "seething cal
dron of moral corruption" it shows
that America is still strongly inspired
by puritanical tradition and demo
cratic instincts.
'"Those who know the political and
economic history Of Europe. he con-
tinues, know also that analogous
conditions in Europe have been de-
nounced thousands of times without
arousing moral agitation to be COM
pared in intensity with that which has
arisen in America. Here, when such
revelations were not used for political
purposes, they degenerated into mere
intellectual protests"
Americans, he says, are not imbued
with that philosophy which finds that
immortality and corruption in modern
society are forces which lead to bet
ter things. The masses in America,
he says, remember the simple austere
days and the reaction is instructive
against moral disorder

GAVE FALSE NEWS TO PAPERS.
New York Lawyer Has to Pay $50
or Go to jail for Violating
State aNge

or Go to jail for Violating
State Laws.
New York, May 22.-For furnishing
false information to newspapers, Err.
nest w. WEIGH, New York lawyer,
was fined $3.50 by City Court Justice
La Fetra in this city.
The complaint against WEIGH was
made by John ]. Ffnnigan, a reporter
on New York morning paper, who
claimed that he had been given false
information in regard to q lawsuit
which he had been assigned to cover
The story had been in connection
with suit for damages brought the
latter part of last month by William
]. Taylor, Of Richmond, Va. against
w. G.. Fitzwilson, Of New York, for
the alleged conversion Of some house
hold furniture. Mr.. Fitzwilson was a
relative of Mrs. Taylor, and the suit
was dismissed on the ground that tho
property in question was owned BIZ
Mrs. Taylor.
When Mr.. Finnigan called at the
office of WEIGH, counsel for Mr.. Tay-
lor, he was permitted to go over the
papers and after he had gotten all
the Information he wanted from this
ooui CS, ue DSSdu 10 question WolCn,
who told him about certain love le--
tiers written by the plaintiffs wife to
a sweetheart that had been put in the
evidence at the trial. Later investi-
CATION proved that no such letters
were on record.
Justice La Fetra in summing up
the case said:
II want to say that 1t is illegal for
anyone to parcel out, fakes, or false
stories, to newspapers. For a lawyer
to be guilty of any such indiscretion
! 1t Is doubly criminal, for the reason
that he not only does an injustice to
the newspapers, but he puts the Bar
association in bad repute. Both have
troubles enough to contend with with
out anomalies eof the character con-
tanned in the papers before me-"
| WEIGH tried to excuse himself, but
the judge refused to entertain any of
them.
This was the first time a case OF
this kind has come before the courts
since the enactment by the legislature
two years ago of law making 1t a
misdemeanor to give false information
| to newspaper.

the bosom of the workingman or any
other man. The Inter Ocean con-
tinues:
For instance, we do not believe the
workingmen, even after receiving thu
thorough instruction planned, would
think the burden" left by the war of
the rebellion was worth considering in
comparison with the benefits confer
red. They would be pretty sure to
say they were cheap at the money
price
But perhaps the Rev. Mr.. Bartlett
would rely on the revolutionary war to
stir the workingmens Indignation
We doubt If he could get together u
half dozen men in the country who
would not admit that the revolution
was the best investment the people
ever made.
The truth is that every war that
this nation has waged has paid. 1t
has paid directly or indirectly, and 1t
was paid so well that the burdens it
imposed on workingmen, and every
other sort of men, was bagatelle
when the substantial benefits that
they got are considered
III the Rev. Mr. Bartlett would only
keep credit as well as a debit ac-
count in this matter, as the average
man is rather apt to do, he would not
fall into the error of supposing that
the money cost of past wars is sure to
rouse anybody's indignation. When
you look at the burden" alone, it may
seem so. When you look at what
that burden" bought, on the credit
side, the burden" becomes insignia
cant
Perhaps it is the cost of preparation
for prospective wars" which the Rev.
Mr.. Bartlett expects mainly to cause
the workingmen to register all those
emphatic votes at the polls. If that
be true, we should advise him to
eliminate all instruction about the
past wars from the educational course
he contemplates. The facts might re-
assure them instead of rousing them.

ADAMS CAFE TO REMAIN OPEN


 The fact that the cafe of the Hotel Adams will be open durAg the summer will be hailed with joy by those who l expect to spend the summer or part of it in Phoenix. It will mean that well cooked and well served meals can be obtained at comparatively small | cost. The cafe will open May 1st. 1 Manager Lowell has introduced an in- novation in the menus which have just been printed. Twelve combination" breakfasts, such as are served in the better class restaurants of the east, are on the bill of fare and range in price from fifteen cents, which includes cereals, hot cakes, hot mullins and tea or ccffee, to a fifty cent breakfast which consists of steak and eggs, or chops and eggs. The dinner bill will be la carte. Dinner vii be served from II to pm. The first page of the menus contain short descriptive matter concerning the principle points of interest in and around Phoenix. The dining room will be partitioned off so that the cafe will not be more than half as large as the dining room. The keeping open of the cafe during the al accommodation to the business men in particular.
 FOUND THE COAT-Dr H. H. Wilson, of 444 east Adams street, thanks to The Republicans burglary story of yesterday morning, has re- covered the new Sunday coat taken from his residence early Sunday I. ,lr.,,- About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Councilman H. c. Yaeger after read ing The Republican, called up Dr. Wilson and told him he had found fine black coat on his woodpile the day before, and as it was a couple of sizes too large for him he would give the doctor the. first chance of proving property. The doctor imme- diately accepted the invitation and identified the coat, which was restor- ed to him unharmed. The identifica- ton, however, was made on the lining and other features which matched the vest and trousers, and not on the trade mark of the local tailor, which was supposed to be sewed into it. It was another fine illustration of how a man may be mistaken and be almost sure enough to swear he isn't. He thought the trade mark was in it, but it wasn't, and there was no sign of its having been cult out. The doctor still has the tailor's bill, however, by which he can prove where he got the garment. As NIT. Yaeger also has a similar black coat it is suspected the thief had found Dr. Wilson's coat too large for him also and was planning an exchange with the alderman when he was frightened away.

station cut for the pumps which will probably be necessary before sinking to a greater depth. So far no great flow of water has been struck, but in work at that depth the possibility of opening up aquan- tity of water is always more or less to be expected, and the workers of the Arizona-Colorado shaft wish to be prepared for such an emergency, in ease it comes. On the fifth and eighth levels, considerable drifting and crosscutting has been done, and quite quantity of good ore has been taken out. Last fall twelve tons were shipped to the smelters, and the returns showed that the ore yielded eight and three quarters per cent copper, and, also, had fair values in silver and gold.
