sherman's March to the Sea.

The telegram sent by General
Sherman to General Grant just
before the march to the sea began
is to be sold at public auction
Grant admonishes Sherman to
"move every wagon, horse, mule
and hoof of stock" to clean the
country of railway tracks and
supplies and to arm the negroes
The Morch to>the Sea was Sher-
mans conception. The permits
sion was Grants. The military
reason for the March lay in the
opportunity it would afford to cut
out the vitals of the south, to des-
troy the support of the Army in
Virginia that Grant with all his
hammering could not destroy.
The March to the Sea and from
Savannah upward through the
Carolinas was almost jaunt to
the seasoned veterans of Sher-
mans army. But the March was
the Sout hmthe most terrible
at1liction of the War. 1t carried
war home to The Southerners, i'll
pressed the bitter cup to their lips
to the lips of their women and
children, and the marks of its
devastation are on Georgia and
the Carolinas even to this day.
War is war, or hell" as Sher-
man said. He made it hell, and
by the making shortened war and
hell together. For, as long as
the Carolinas and Georgia lay in
tact behind him, Lee could hold
Richmond against Grant.
If destruction of men in war is
legitimate, certainly destruction
of property is, too. Yet, curious
ly enough, men will forgive or
forget the killing of their fathers,
brothers, sons, but not the burn
ing of their homes, the wasting of
their farms. Grant is forgiven, is
admired in the South. But Sher-
man is neither. Grant killed more
Southerners in battle, but Sher-
man destroyed the resources upon
which war was waged.

AS the result of his winning
manners and his ministerial vo-

degree of familiarity by the var

tellectual apprehension of good
and evil, and on the other side
was a record of treachery, dupli-

The man did not bring his own

AUTOGRAPH TELLS A TALE

/ There is always certain amount OF

of the kaiser's autograph, supplied by
an eminent Berlin graphologist:

How che Mikado Ruled.

When the Mikado granted his
people a Constitution, the Minis
try was made theoretically res
ponsible to the Diet. But the Diet
usually registers what the Gov
eminent DEGREES and i'm other res
poets is NEARLY a more or less in
teresting debating society.
The Japanese Constitution is
said to be nearer German than
British. But the truth is that
even the Ministry in large mea-
sure is but the instrument of the
Council of the Elder Statesmen,
who form a sort Of secrete Gov
eminent.
The Elder Statesmen are those
whom the Emperor selects to adj
wise him. From them he chooses
this man and that to perform this
service or that. Ito, as long as he
lived, was the real Prime Minister
of japan, even when he had no
portfolio and when his ostensible
rivals were In once.
The Elder Statesmen have been
the creation of the Emperor. He
and they have constituted the real
Government of Japan. With
what wisdom they have governed
all the world knows. And that the
inspiration of the wisdom was not
wholly Ito has been proven by the
wisdom that has continued to be
exhibited since he was assassinat-
ed.
Thus it appears that the dying
Emperor remained to the end the
absolute ruler and director of ia
pan. And it seems at this time
that is an example of wisdom in
government the period of his do
mination had been as successful
as any government period in his
tory.
There have been no great mis-
takes, apparently, although
thousand and one mistakes might
easily have been made. There has
been much glory, also progress at
an unprecedented rate. The UNI
dertaking, The conscious under
taking of the Mikado. his deliber-
ate design, has been about as vast
and performed as we'll, as any by
one man ever undertaken. and the
success, so far at least, has match
ed the venture.

a Good Word for the Doc,

Judge Keller of Buffalo stated
from the bench last week that he
proposed making the fines so
heavy that only millionaire
could own an unmuzzled, unli-
censed dog.
Perhaps he is right. Doubtless
there is much to be said against
The wandering, free-and-easy, pi-
ratical, germ-collecting and garb-
age-can- overturning dog of the
cities. But, on the other hand,
there are things in favor of the
dog. Dozens of poor women who
go out to labor at the tub or on
the Office floors leave their small
children in care of a dog. A dog
stands guard over many a pitiful
home. Often he is the only pet

WESTERN J N ID N
 TAXES WIRES
Clifton Now Has Direct Telegraph Connection With Outside World.

The entire one thousand miles O. commercial telegraph lines of the Ell Paso & Southwestern railroad and A. & N. M. Railway, including Clifton and Morenci, will be taken over on Saturday, June 15, by the Western Union Telegraph company. The lines were formerly operated by the Postal Telegraph & Cable company.
 The taking over of the Southwest ern lines by the Western Union marks the completion of one of the largest telegraph deals that has ever been made in the Southwest. By the aquisition of the Southwestern circuits the Western Union adds more than 100 offices to it's southwestern division and will give direct wire service through Fl Paso to them.
 The Denver office of the Western Union has been in charge of all the arrangements for the transfer of the lines. The price paid by the West ern Union and the time of the lease has not been made public, but it is understood that the lease is for long period of years.
 The Western Union connection with Clifton heretofore has been via tele- phone from Stafford. The relay by telephone has now been discontinued and all messages can be filed with the operator at the depot.

 OFFICERS
Lay Outs Confiscated in Two Different Places on the East Side and Three
 Chnamen Arrested

Chinatown, or at least that portion located on the East Side, was thrown into a wild state of excitement on Sat urday night last, when two U. s. h. ternal Revenue officers, assisted oy U. S. Marshal Franz, of this city, de- scended upon the laundries and stores in that section and commenced sys- tematic search for concealed opium and smoking apparatus. The officers continued their search all night and when daylight came they had confis cated several pounds of opium, pipes galore, lamps, copper kettles filled with opium in the raw state, which was in the process of cooking, and in fact everything connected with an opium den. The biggest haul was made in a cellar beneath a laundry on the west side of the Main stree+.
 The raid was planned and executed by Immigration Custom Officer Harry Creighton, who has his headquarters at Nogales. During the course of tn raid three Chinamen were placed un- der arrest, and dope" valued at sever al hundred dollars was recovered
 This is the second raid that has been made among the Chinese laun- dries in Clifton during the past year by Inspector Creighton.
