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- affej;t Gill grew out of an effort to re move some troublesome Indians from th*- agency, which was undertaken on 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 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 Central that lies in Kentucky, and was acquired from C. P. Huntington. Brown’s action then was prophetic of future policies. Roosevelt followed his example—another case of Democratic thunder appropriated. which has never been easy of access, : and the venture would probably prove : a remunerative Investment.

As soon ns a man's relatives begin sending him money he becomes worthless. Nothing Is so often overestimated as the information given “confidential ly." To a boy. it always seems a man doesn't fully appreciate being •’grown up." As a rule, what a man calls his “rights” represents merely desired privileges. Th'e men who read a great deal wonder how the ones who don’t put In their time. What has become of the old-fash ioned girls who said to the boys, “Sir. keep your distance.” The man who is scared Into being good is the one most likely to boast of his exceeding virtue.—Atchison 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 posed that Joseph G. Cannon would reach a higher place in our parlia mentary history than James A. Mc Kenzie? But it is not strange that he did. when we come to know that while McKenzie was reveling in Balzac. Can non was deep In Treasury estimates. 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 putations between "Quinine Jim’’ Mc Kenzie and "Pig Iron” Kelley. Mc Kenzie was the best example of Amer ican country gentleman—handsome, eloquent, scholarly, generous, brilliant, farmer, lawyer, student, artistic in his tastes, genial in his associations.

No bill can pass Congress to 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 rate bill was In the House last Con gress it did not create a ripple. In the Senate it kept the country in storm perpetual for m-ontha. The committees of the House should be appolnteed as they are in the Senate, and the Speaker should be reduced to the position of a mere presiding officer, just as is' the Vice-President. Uncle Cannon may be the next Pres ident. National conventions are mighty uncertain assemblies. Cannon is from the State of Lincoln and in many respects he is suggestive of Lin coln—his plainness, his simplicity, his democracy. There ought to be a con stitutional amendment making Ineli gible to the Presidency everybody but the mollycoddles—that is to say, no body that has the least disposition to open pandora boxes, or fire off un loaded pistols, or rock loaded skiffs ought to be President.

PHILOSOPHIC POINTS. be a man who would take orders, not i tainlng angels Trouble never fools around the man who keeps busy at his own business. The average man will forgive you almost anything, except laughing at him. Success is the result of learning Just what the other fellow's weak spots are. It Isn’t hard to make a man take water, if you give him a little liquor first. Nothing has been fully forgiven. If the one extending pardon remembers about it. It is nobler to help a sinner to his feet than to spend your time enter- give them. ■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 then it is a monarchy, whatever you 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 was an execrable government, but the hoodwink as a petit jurv. democracy of Athens was worse, just as a thousand tyrants are more insup portable than one tyrant. The best government is between the extremes of autocracy and democracy, and that Is representative government as it ex ists in our Federal Constitution and the earlier State constitutions—the rule the people through their elected agents. That protects us from the wicked man on horseback and the foolish man on stumptop, and as long as we are guarded against these two we have little to fear.
