IF BARNES FINDS WHITNEY?
If William C. Whitney, of New York,
is acquainted with Judge W. H. Barnes,
of Tucson, and it Mr. Whitney beoomeB
coenizant of the fact that the chief of
the Arizona democracy has his war
paint on, Mr. Whitney had better peel
his weather eye and keep a cloee look
out for squalla; for according to the San
Francieoo Gall of the 3d inst-, the judge
ia scalp hunting in Chicago; hia toma
hawk and knife are sharpened for the
fray, and he will never be satisfied with
lees than a good big lock of the New
Yorker's capillary covering. Here is
what the Gall aays:
Judge W. EL Barnes and Wiley E.
Jones, delegates from Arizona, who have
just arrived in the oity, say that the
delegation leans toward Bland, but any
candidate will be acceptable as long as
the platform declares for silver. Judge
Barnes is an old time resident of Illinois.
He was appointed to a judgeship in
Arizona under the first Cleveland ad'
ministration, and has einoe been a resi
dent of that territory. Judge Barnes is
after the scalp of William G. Whitney,
of New York.
"I just want to meet that fellow Whit
ney , said Judge Barnes. "I just want
to meet that fellow," said the Arizona
judge, as he quaffed a few paragraphs
of red liquor in the cafe of the Audi
torium annex tonight, "and I will make
him swallow hia insulting language
about the south and the west combin
ing to repudiate the national debt. I
want to tell him to hia teeth that the
people of the south and west are honest
They do not want to see the national
honor questioned. It is only eueh men
as Whitney who talk that way. We are
for silver, and we are going to have
tree silver platform. Mr. Whitney and
his crowd oan rail, rave and tear their
hair as muoh as they like. They will
have to get in the silver band wagon
iuit the same, or else get out of the
democratic way."
While Judge Barnes was denouncing
Whitney many silver men who were
clinking glasses about the tables of the
brilliantly illuminated cafe listened at
tentively, and at the conclusion of the
little speech there was generous ap
plause. Then the colored waiter stepped
up to the judge and remarked: "Boss,
yuae done spoke immense.
GRAVE YARD INVlNllONS
The inventive geoius of man is not
limited to the affairs of the livicg. This
fact ia established by an investigation of
records which will snow that thousands
of patents have been ieeued for contriv
ances to be used in tbe resting places of
the dead. Some of them are weird and
grisly end their contemplation is enough
to make one's flesh crawl.
The "coffin torpedo" is the latest pat
ented device in the line of burial appli
ances. It is introduced into the casket
favor cf restoring the tariff .wbicb Mr.
Cleveland scaled down."
Evidently in the English -view tbe
money queetiun is not tbe leading Issue
of the coming campaign. England sees
in McKinley a president wbo will work
for American and not for British inter
ests; a president who will advocate and
bupporta tariff for tbe protection of
American, a&d not for the protection of
British industries; a president who will
not play into tbe hands of British free
traders at the expense of tbe American
people. It is no wonder that England re

Chicago, July 6 The day opened
dear and cool. Early in the day the
down town centers had a repetition of
the excitement and confusion marking
the last few days. Marching clubs with
banners and bands and sh outers were
making their last convulsive demons
tration before attention1 was directed to
the serious work within the convention
halL By 9 o'clock the crowds were
beginning to converge at tbe depot,

Britain and Great Britain's tools and

The American people, however, are
not likely to stand by Major McKinley

of communication with tbe living, by
those who have been buried, apparent

The new board of sohool trustees met
and organized last evening. J. Knox
Corbett was eleoted chairman and Dr.
Whitmore clerk.
In accordance with tbe opinion of
Attorney General Wilson, as to the
righta of the new board to employ teach
ers, tbe board proceeded to tbe appoint

by rail is but 12 minutes from the heart
of the oity along the lake front The
scene in front of the convention hll
was one of great animation. At 10
o'clock the doors were opened and a
wild ruehfor admittance began. The
great hall was artistically decorated and
life size pictures of democratic presi
dents, including Cleveland, looked down
from above tbe chairman's desk.

vitation from either the "pops" or the
democrats. He's adrift on an open sea
without chart or compass, and he'll
never stop and quibble over the creed of
tbe first ship that offers rescue.
Mb. Cleveland spends his nights in
fear and trembling. He expressed an
eager desire a short time ago to do duty
as afprivate in the democratic racks,
and new he's afraid hell get his wish.
Cleveland's greatest misfortune is that
he is always taken seriously jast when
he don't want to be.
The reckless bather, who swims out
beyond the safety line in order to ex
hibit himself, is already making things
lively for the life savers along the sea
shore. This ridiculous person is tbe
pest of the beach. He is a bumptuous
snob who as a rule goes into the water
with his head full of conoeit only to
come out of it with bis stomach full of
the salt, salt sea.
Madrid newspapers insist that the
real Cuban question exists in the Unit
ed States rather than in Cuba. Spain,
however, may thank her lucky stars
that this isn't true. If it were, the
Cuban question would be settled on a
liberty and independence basis so quick
ly that it would make Weyler'e head
swim.
nersona nrematurelv interred, a nere
can be no doubt that to many human
beinea tha fear of heincr buried alive
some day is a haunting dread through
life.
Allot tbe patented devices for life
signals have one feature in common
namelv. a wira or cord attached to the
hand of the supposed corpse. In each
case it is intended that any movement
shall set off an alerm of some kind. One
contrivance employs a small red flag,
which shoots up from the grave and dis
plays itself above ground if required
Another ia called a "grave annunciator."
A disturbance in .the coffin closes an
electric circuit and springs an alarm in
the watch house of the cemetery. Tbe
superintendent takes note of tbe nam
bar of grave indicated by the alarm, and
proceeds without delay to dig up tbe
vict'm.
Yet another epeoies of apparatus is
operated by a spring catch, which
throws open the lid of a tube extending
from the coffin to above tbe ground,
thus admitting air. At the same time
a bell is set ringing.
On a somewhat different principle is
an indicator in a glass case, to be placed
on top of the grave and communicating
by wires with tbe alleged defunct below.
If tbe latter moves at all, a needle shows
it.
Most elaborate of all such devices is
one in which a wire is attached to a
ring on the thumb of tbe corpse. Tbe
slightest movement of the hand palls a
trigger, which starts a clookwork roe
chanism. This sets eff an alarm, and
at the same time puts in operation a fan
which f oroes air down a tube into the
coffin. There is a seooad tube provided
with a lamp and reflector, so arrac
that one may look down and see th

Ambassador Batard is again delight
ing tbe British publio with another of
his sentimental solos on international
harmony. Mr. Bayard's barrel organ

it to so many variations that every time

it is an original composition.

Office of Attorney General
Presoott, June 1. 1896,
How. T. E. Daj.tox. Phoenix. Ariz.
My Dear Sir:
Yours of tbe 30tb nit. referring sup
erintendent of Coconino oounty inquiry
concerning employmentof teachers, eta,
is at band.
Answering tbe same I must call your
attention to Sec. 28, Subdiv. 8, p. 19, of
school law. That provides that boards
of trustees may, (and this means shall),
at any time alter the annual ecnool elec
tion and qualification of the new mem
bers of tbe sohool board, enter into eon
tract with teaohers, etc. There can be
but one meaning to this insofar as in
tent is concerned.. end that ia: That
the legislative intent was, that tbe new
board that bad to deal with tbe teaob
era for the ensuing year should employ
them. Now as to the time when the
trustees assume duty, you will notice
that section 2, act 82, 18th assembly,
amended section 50 of the old sohool
law as to that That act substitutes
March for June, thereby fixing tbe time
for holdiag tne elections, and April for
July, thereby fixing the time when tbe
newly elected trustees shall assume tbe
duties of office. This will be found on
page 17, new sohool law.
Therefore, as the trustee elect must
be elected in March instead of June,
as provided in tbe old law. and must as
sume his duties of office in April instead
of July as provided in tbe old law, snd
as tbe law on that subject provides for
tbe employment of teaohers after the
eleotion and qualification of new mem
bers of boards, it necessarily follows
tbat the employment must be made by
the newly elected members with other
members on tbe boards.
I am very truly yours,
J. F. Wilsojc,
Attorney General.
It will be remembered that about a
year ago Attorney General Satter white
gave an opinion in perfect accord with
tbe above.

From the number of dark horses

Some crank has discovered that a man
who shaves regularly until he is 80 years

Spain bow proposes to flood Cuba
with depreciated paper currency, prob
ably with a view of transferring what
coin there is in the island to the royal
treasury in Madrid. Inasmuch as
Spain's campaign against the revolu
tionists has been a paper affair from the
very beginning, this desperate resort to
cheap paper money has at least the
element of consistency in its favor.
Reports from various parts of the
country indicate that the Horace Beiee
literary bureau is sending out vast
quantities of documents illustrative of
tbe greatness of the Iewa candidate.
Uncle Horace may not capture tbe
nomination at Chicago, but he may be
consoled with the thought tbat his
boom has supplied thousands of needy
families with enough material for carpet
lining for years to come.
Gkw. Campos insists that if Spain
xnnst give up Cuba it should only! be
after she has been whipped in a war
with the United States, as Spanish
honor in tbat oase would suffer no last
ing humiliation. The interenoe seems
to be that Spain would aocept a eoucd
thrashing from this country as a posi
tive favor. Well, Unole Sam is an
accommodating fellow, and as he etuiies
to please he will undoubtedly be able
to give Spain what she wants provided
she spproaches him in the right spirit.
Recent inventions in tbe line of
motor cycles are proving conclusively
that horseless carriages are not mere
idle dreams, but practical, livicg reali
ties. A Mr. Burrows, of Connecticut
stands ready to equip any sort of vehiole

gasoline, or compressed sir as power.
There seems to be a determined effort
that the noble horse shall serve the
ignoble purpose of canned beef or

Just look at these figures, taken from
tbe official records of the treasury de

for tbe fiscal year ending June 30, 1895,
$42,000,000; defioit for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1896, $25,500.00C, making
a total deficit for three years of $137,-
500,000 Isn't that a cosily memorial to
democratic incapacity?
John P. Altgeld, having formed
himself into a large funnel-shaped oloud
is now lurking around the outskirts ef
Chicago awaiting the approach of Mr.
Whitney and his wbite-rabed harmony

grous elements promises to be scarcely
less animated than an unconventional
conference between a tornado and a hot-

A gentleman who saw and talked
with Mr. Cleveland, the morning he left
Washington for his Buzzard's Bay
summer residence says he never saw
him in such a disgusted humor, and
that the most of the language he ueed
when speaking of the probable action of
the Chicago convention was unprintable
in a family newspaper. From what
this gentleman said I got the impres
sion tbat Mr. Cleveland a present
opinion of the democratic party is iden
tical with tbat once expressed of tbe
publio by the late William II. Vander-
bilt. One doesn't have to be an adept
in fortune-telling to predict that Mr.
Cleveland will not raise a finger to get
votes for the Chicago ticket.

ceeded to Patterson, N. J., yesterday.
After crossing the ferry to the New
Jersey shore, they were met by a com
mittee of Hobart's hospitable friends and
neighbors, who conducted them to two
private cars on the Erie road. Patter
son was reached at 11:30 a.m. Tbe
party drove to Hobart's bouse where
they wej r-c-ived by Mr. and Mrs.
Hobart and a number of ladies and gen
tlemen. At 12 o'clock Mr. and Mrs.
Hobart, and a number of ladies and
gentlemen, stepped out on tbe porch.
Chas. W, Fairbanks, chairman of the
committee, then spoke as follows:
"Mr. Hobart. The republican nation
al convention reoently convened at St.
Louis commissioned us to formally
notify you cf your nomination for the
office of vice-president of the United
States. We are met pursuant to the
declaration of the convention to per.
form the agreeable duty assigned to
us.
In all the splendid history of the great
party which holds our loyal aleziKcce
the neoeesily was teter more urgent for
steadfast adherence to those wholesome
principles which have been the sure
foundation rock of our national prosper
ity. The demand waa never greater for
men who hoM principles above all else
and who are unmoved either by tbe
clamor of tbe hour or the promises of
false teachers.
The convention at St. Louie, in full
measure, meets the high demands cf its
declaration of party principles and in
tbe nomination of candidates for presi
dent and vicstpresidect.
Sir, the office to which you are nom
inated is one of rare dignity, honor and
power. It has been graced by the most
eminent statesmen who have contribut
ed to the upbuilding of the strength
and glory of the republic
Because of your exalted person ah tie
and of your intelligent and patriotic
devotion to the principles of protective
tariff, which wisely discriminates in
favor of American interests and to a
ourrency whose soundness and integrity
none can challenge and because of your
conspicuous fitness for the exalting and
important duties of this high office,
tne repubaoao national convention with
with an unanimity and enthusiasm rare
ly witnessed, chose you as our candidate
for vice-president of the United States.
We know it to be gratifying to you
personally to be the associate of William
McKinley in tbe pending contest For
