WASHINGTON. July 1.—A telegram
was rereived today from Suptcrintend-
ent Goodman. ..f McDowell agency,
Arizonia, by the Indian bureau, con
firming the report of troiible at the
agency. He says the shooting by Sub-

orders from Washington and was in
.-elf-defense. Mr. Goodman says the
lives of whites, friendly Indians, and
of the Indian police, are in danger, but
that the sheriff of Maricoyia County,
with seven others, is on the way to the
scene of trouble, and that the terrl- '
toriai militia will be available if need- I
rd. The aid of fbe national troops will
not be asked unless the situation as

THE PETAL TEST.
From the New York Sun.
We long again for ti'io olden days,
For primitive emotion.
And for the tests that grandma had
Of Romeo’s devotion.
She took a daisy in her hand
The question great to settle,
“He l’oves mo” and “He loves me not”
She counted by each petal.
The modern'malden does not seek
By such a silly fashion;
She has another surer way
To tell the tender passion. ’
Before he tells her of his love
The fact she presupposes.
And takes as standard of Its truth
The price of hothouse roses.
HARD LUCK.
When I was but a monad cell, ,
"in age or so ago,
I had a strange desire to dwell *
Upon the earth below.
Revolving always in the air
I felt was a mistake.
And so kind Nature put me there—
A Tadpole in a lake.
But wriggling, wriggling in the mud,
Or water, grew too tame,
And so. as I was of the blood,
A Bullfrog I became.
And Just because I changed my mind
\bout each wished for place,
I came one awful day to find
I’d joined the human race. -*
Now I recall those happy days
When, bloated out with air, '
bobbed upon my varied ways
Without a thought of care.
And I remember when a Tad,
No other wish had I
But just make other wrigglers mad
To see me darting by.
Ah me, and now I am a Man
With wife and children, six.
Worse off than when I first began
And all through Nature’s tricks!
And what is more than all, they say
Man’s is the highest state!
Right here on earth I’ve got to slay—
Great Caesar! What a fate!

was famous for Its fierce political
strifes. The boy Cannon was a Whig,
and the young man Cannon was a
charter member of the Republican
party.
Aggressive and self-confident, Joseph
G. Cannon secured a common school
education, studied law, came to the
bar, and practiced law and politics. He
was prosecuting attorney seven years,
and in 1872 he was elected to Congress,
lie was seventeen times renominated
by his party and sixteen times re
elected, a distinction achieved by no
other man of our history. He served
in the National Legislature In Con
gresses presided over by Blaine, Kerr,
Randall, Keifer, Carlisle. Reed. Crisp
and Henderson, and In 1903 be was
himself elected to preside over what
ought to be the greatest senate on
earth.
The Forty-third Congress lived when
carpetbaggery and scallawaggery were
not yet eradicated at the South: but in
the Southern delegations were A. H.
Stephens. L. Q. C. Lamar, Roger Q
Mills and Eppa Hunton. Beck and
John Young Brown were from Ken
tucky. Among the Northern Demo
crats were Fernando Wood, S. S. Cox,
W. S. Holeman, Samuel J. Randal.
John R. Eden. S. S. Marshall and Wil
liam R. Morrison, the last three Can
non’s colleagues from Illinois. On the
Republican side were Kasson. Blaine,
Hale. Ben Butler. Dawes, the 'brothers
Hoar. (Burrows, Tremaine, Kelley and
Horace Maynard.
It .was among these giants that Jo
seph G. Cannon served his novitiate.
This was the Congress that considered
Ben. Butler's force bill, and perhaps
Cannon witnessed the savage assault
John Young Brown made on its au
thor, when, as the climax of the
fiercest and most rhetorical philippic
of any Congress, the orator character
ized his victim as "everything that is
pusillanimous in war, inhuman in
peace, forbidden in morals and corrupt
in politics.” But Brown was some
thing more than the rhetorician. He
was a great lawyer, a powerful advo
cate, a ripe scholar, a wise statesman.
Years before Philander C. Knox plead
ed In the Supreme Court against the
Northern Securities merger, John
Young Brown, then Governor of Ken
tucky, against the counsel of trusted
advisers, took into the courts the mer
ger of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, and that part of the Illinois

Edward Everett Was Joint Orator
With Lincoln at Gettysburg.
From the Charlotte -Observer.
In an editorial of The Observer of
Friday embodying President Lin
coln’s immortal speech on the Gettys
burg battlefield in 1854, there was a
quotation from The Macon Telegraph
stating that Mr. Lincoln was not the
principal orator of the occasion but it
could not at the moment recall who
was, and, we are unable to supply the
information. A letter from an accom
plished lady friend reminds us that he
was Edward Everett, “who made an
elaborate, ornate speech, which was
eclipsed by Lincoln's short address.”
Mr. Everett was one of the greatest
men of his time and in his life-time
was signally honored. He was pro
fessor of Greek at Harvard, editor of
the North American Review, repre
sentative in Congress from and Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, minister to
England, president of Harvard Col-
Mr. Cannon was never a showy man
on the floor. His was a slow growth.
No prominent man owes so much to
experience. His rise was long de-
aved: but he finally got a lodgment
on the Committee on Appropriations
and then his industry did the rest. He
developed great business capacity and
never shirked a labor. After all, indus
try is w-hat tells in this life. Who
that saw them and heard them sup

reach a higher place in our parlia

Kenzie? But it is not strange that he

McKenzie was reveling in Balzac. Can

Cannon had a contemDt for the mar
velous genius of the Frenchman: Mc
Kenzie had an aversion to detail. In
practical statesmanship the tortoise
beats the hare every time. As an
eloquent speaker McKenzie had few
equals: as a conversationalist he was
unrivalled. His knowledge of literature
was prodigious; his sense of humor
delightful. He laughed, as well as ar
gued free quinine through Congress.
Sir Walter Scott’s descriptions of the
passages between Lawyer Rlaydell and
Dominie Sampson describe tariff dis

Kenzie and "Pig Iron” Kelley. Mc

which the Speaker is opposed. It is
scarce extravagance to say that no bill
Is lost in the House that the Speaker
actively favors. The British Parlia
ment would not endure such a despot
ism a single day. And it is that very
thing of one-man power that has
made the United States Senate the
parliamentry ruler of this country.
Who pays any attention to the work
of the House? It only sits to cut out
work for the Senate and agree to
whatever the Senate is resolved upon.
Instead of using the purse to govern j she
the country, the House Is but the
purse-holder for the Senate. When the

Senate it kept the country in storm

they are in the Senate, and the Speaker

mere presiding officer, just as is' the
Vice-President.
Uncle Cannon may be the next Pres

mighty uncertain assemblies. Cannon
is from the State of Lincoln and in
many respects he is suggestive of Lin

democracy. There ought to be a con

■purs is the representative system,
the genius of the English system of
parliamentary rule. Congress ought to
be t-he ruler and the President only a
figurehead, to do what Congress tells
him to do. When the President rules

call it. When the rule is by popular
vote, then It is a democratcy, whatever
you call it. The autocracy of Pers'a ] C0 rdlng Angel"^ a&>ut"a
