GOING TO GIVE CONGRESS A LESSON.

Judging from the fiery tone of some of the speakers at their mass meeting Saturday night 1t would strike the average listener that statehood is not wanted by our democratic friends. Some of the speeches breathed the very spirit of defiance.
 "WE, the people of Arizona, will frame a constitution to suit our selves, and let Congress reject it if they dare. We will remain terri tory century before we will sub- nit to the injustice of having forced down our throats a fundamen- tai law we do not want,"-or words to that effect.
 Which recalls to mind a yarn that ran the rounds of the press a decade or so ago, about popula ton somewhere or another tha was suffering from a protracteC drought. They were devout relig

of Illinois, Brough of Ohio, Morgan of New York, ct aL. A recall could have been worked upon any and all of those great executives, and their support and help to the adminis- tration of President Lincoln would have been terminated. Would not that have been disastrous to the cause of national unity? As 1t was legislature inimical to prose- tion of the war was elected in llll- nois. Governor Yates prorogued that body and ran the state and continued to supply regiments of infantry and cavalry and batteries of artillery upon the pledged credit of the state until loyal legislature elected in 1864 redeemed his pledges. Could a recall of Yates have been worked he would have been removed and a governor inimical to further prosecution of the war would have succeeded him with fatal result.
 Now, then, in the foregoing para graphs there are set forth the pos sible results of the recall in a criti- cal period of history. Should not that be sufficient to cause hesitancy and careful deliberation in it's
 adoption?
 The American system of govern
 ment, as formulated in the Consti-
 tuition of the federal government
 and in the fundamental laws of the
 various states, is one of wisely de-
 vised checks and balances, vel
 calculated to meet successfully just z such emergencies as that of the Civil War. Now to abandon that for the new ideas of this day-th' initiative, the referendum and th' recall, would be to sweep aside those checks and balances, whicl THE OASIS believes the people 0 ! Arizona are not quite prepared t do.

HOW IT WOULD HAVE WORKED.

Those who are advoca ting so strenuously some of the new experi- ments in government which are meeting so much approval at this time should throw the light of his- tory upon some of their pet theories and measure what would have been their probable result had they been in practical operation at some critical period in the history of the United States. For elucidation of the point of this article one or two cases will be cited.
 Suppose the recall had been in operation in the federal govern ment in 1061-2.3, when every available man was called into the field, and every available dollar was drawn and utilized in a colos- sal effort to save the Union from dissolution and prevent the des- truction of the nation. At any time in those dark days which tried the souls of men, up to the Ghiph tide of the rebellion" at Get tysburg and Vicksburg, in July 1863, it would have been possible to have secured a petition signed by ten per cent of the voters fol recall of Abraham Lincoln iron the presidency. And upon such a petition, had that idea of govern ment prevailed at that time, ar election for new president would have followed. So great was tn, discontent with MT. Lincoln h. would have been defeated, and th presidency would have passed t another. Yet as we now read his tory he was the one man of all tn great statesmen of that age wh was fitted to carry that tremendou conflict to a successful issue.
 And had the recall idea prevailet in the various states what woul' have been the result2 In his tre mendous work President Lincol wos upheld and sustained by tn great war governors of the grea states-Morton of Indiana, Yate

ing anxiously for the official re-
turns, being certain they had
made great gains. The reports
from other states show the same
conditions, many minor officers
being elected and in hundreds oil
precincts the socialists now are
the second party.
Figures already reported show
the total socialist vote in the
country this year to have been
over $4,000.
One member of congress was
elected, several members of the
Legislature were chosen in half q
dozen different states, and scores
of township and municipal, with
some county officials, have been

Grasshoppers and Water Made
Hill Biggest Railroad King

Grasshoppers made James J..
Hill the biggest railroad king IN
America and at the same time
brought him the major part of
his reputed wealth of 500, 000,-
200.
If 1t hadn't been for the grass
hoppers Jim Hill might today be
selling coal and wood in his little
store down on the levee at st.
Paul, MINI.
The grasshoppers did their work
along in 1861, when countless
billions of them ate the farmers of
the west out of their houses and
homes; not crop was raised; the
country was literally eaten up by
the swarming grasshoppers, and
Jim Hill was lust a-sawing wood"
in st. Paul.
The st. Paul e Pacific railroad
had no freight to carry, the grass
hoppers having beaten 1t to every
thing on the farms, and the rail-
road couldn't pay the interest on
its bonds, held by Dutch capital
lists.
Got a "Hunch.''
Hill, with Donald Smith, after
ward Lord Strathcona, and George
Stephen, afterward Lord Mount
stephen, got 1t into their heads
that the grasshoppers couldn't &C
on forever; that some day the
freight cars with wheat and then
those old rusty rails would be
valuable.
Stephen went over to Holland
and for 40 cents got an option
upon all of the bonds owned over
there at about 80 cents on the
dollar.
The Hoppers Left.

Would Labor Declare
Against the Saloon?

, unions, but other trades which
have to do with the furnishing
and maintenance of saloons and
breweries, are committed against
the fight for prohibition. To
them 1T is not a matter of senti-
ment, but one of economic inter-
est.
But it's a toss up as 10 which
side would win out in a clear cut
fight. Some of the most power
ful leaders in the federation are
known TO be opposed to the sa-
loon and they are not afraid to
say so. On Sunday several of
them preached in prominent ST.
Louis pulp.ts, where they gave ut
terance to strong anti-saloon SEN
timents. To help along the dis
cussion, Archbishop Glennon
preached a special sermon to the
Catholic delegates in which me
said that barroom thinkers are
the enemies eff labor.

Pubiish Confession.

The Times this afternoon re-
peated the putative confession
and published am ostensible state
ment in the third person, alleged
to have been made by Crippem.
The paper says that Crippen COM
fessed to a friend before he was
executed. The story relates the
unhappiness of the doctors life
and his wife's alleged unfaithfua-
ness, her 'tantrums, drunkenness
and jealousy These causes, 1t is
alleged, brought about Crippen' Is
determination to kill his wife.
Deliberately and cold bloodedly
says the Times, the American
doctor planned the details of the
murder.
The statements assert THAI
Crippen purchased hyoscin and
began impregnating with the pois-
on certain digestive tablets that
his wife was taking.
Poisoned Her systematically.
The first poisoned tablet was
given January 81, the next Febru-
airy l.. The second tablet caused
her death. The body remained
in a bedroom of the Crippen
house at 80 Hilldrop Crescent,
Islington, North London, until the
evening of February Q. Then
Crippen began the CHASTITY task of
disposing of the remains without
arousing suspicion.
He carefully dissected the
corpse, cutting the arms and legs
into small pieces and burning
them in the kitchen stove. While
he engaged in this work an ash
man called at the house and Grip
pen narrowly escaped detection.
Task Unnerved Him.
The grewsome task finally over
came the iron nerve of the doctor
and he became fearful of attract
ing the notice of lids -neighbors.
Besides the increasing odor of tht
decomposinig flesh filled him witt
horror and one night he fed from
the house, leaving 1T wide open

march to the scaffold. Jailers
pinioned Crippon's arms and bar
ed his neck for the easier adjust
ment OF the rope.
Calm to the Last.
The little procession, consisting
of the doomed man and two
warders, led by Father Carey,
who intoned prayers for the dy-
ing, crossed the few yards separ-
ating the condemned cells and
the gafiows, where Executioner
John Ellis stood waiting.
Crippen, without hesitation, as
though HE had reihearsed his part
in a mimic tragedy, mounted the
gallows with a firm step. He did
NOT falter and did not break
down. To the few onlookers-
the governor, the sheriff, the
priest, the jailens and two repre-
sentatives of the press-Crippen
seemed acutely conscious that his
time had come. He did mot
speak, and stood firm while the
black cap was being adjusted.
Crowd Could Not See.
Outside the Jail a morbid
crowd had gathered, but a heavy
lfog enShrouded the buildin and
cloaked the view of the Jail yard.
Even the forbidding black arm of
the gallows tree near the rear
wall could not be made ont.
At 8 o'clock specter of a
black flag was hIoisted to the top
of the shadowy fiagpole near the
prison gate and few cheers,
some Kisses and>many groans sped
Crippen's shriven soul on the last
flight.
Crippen had paid his debt to
justice and his obligation to the
efforts of Scotland Yard.
A warder posted on the notice
board of the prison gate the Off
cial document ordering the hang
ing, the sheriff's certificate THAT it
had taken place and the physi-
clans certificate of death.

have ever had in change, DIR. Grip

displayed was almost unbelieva-

revealed by purely physical signs
on two occasions. Following his
sentence at Old Bailey he had a
short Painting spell, and again at
the dismissal of his appeal he was
near collapse for am homr or two.
At these attacks, however, his
mental courage was as firm as
ever and after stimulants had aid

shrinking from death she resumed
