however, is th.t the Demo.

precision, however, is that the Demo. cratic party will win. Many who have always voted with the Repub. lican party, and who have been con. sidered staunch Republicans, will go over to the Democrats and vote with them this year. Although Arthur has signed the substitute for Miller's bill, still they are totally disgusted with the way he has been acting, and so they are ready to do most any thing, to have revenge. "Revenge is sweet" Arthur's veto of the origi- nal Chinese bill, with it's twenty years stricture, was dose they are not likely to swallow. The Demo cratic party is first in the arena. While the Republicans are don ming their preliminary garments, the "Dems" are perfecting their plans for the coming race. The dssensions which ex. isted last year, through mismanage. ment, and the existence of the Man hatten and Yo Semites are things of the past. Things that we can look back upon, but not touch. The manage ment of the party in this city, IS un- der number of clubs distributed throughout the city. They are fourty- seven in number, and all under one general government. The plan of management seems to be working in most satisfactory manner.
 At last the President has come to his senses and signed bill restrict ing Chinese immigration. To be sure, it is not the Miller bill, with the twenty.year clause; but it is a great deal better than no bill at all. For months we have watched with eager eyes to see if the President would sign the bill. He has done 50. No doubt, when the news reaches China, there will be an unlimited supply of curses, loud and deep, heaped on our heads, by the coolies. A great rush will be made to get here before August, at which time the bill goes into effecr Computing, with refer ference o the immigration into this city during the last three months, it may safely be estimated that fully twenty thousand Chinese will arrive in this city before the 4th of August.

Archie Mcbride, one of the proA

Archie McBride, one of the proA prietors of the Grand hotel died last night at half past seven o'clock. He was one of the best known men in, Arizona and his death will fill with sorrow the hearts of many staunch friends. The, deceased, owing to his gentle disposition and winning manners, had the esteem and regard of all those brought in contact with him, and his generosity was proverbial. He hal heart as gentle as a woman's and if he could not say kind word for his fellow man his tongue was silent. Struck down in the prime of his life when long years of incessant toll were about to be crowned by prosperity and contentment, he has crossed the silent river without d murmur of dis content and with soul unsettled by any thought adverse to the golden rule "do unto others as you would be done by" He leaves wife, whose secfftionate care did much 10 make his last moments painless, and whose great grief at his loss commands our entire sympathy.

PinafOre.

This delicionsly rediculous ope. a was rendered at Scheiffelin Hall aga last evening. It is strange what ho d that genial absurdity has on the public. Every. body and his neighuor have sworn time snd time again that lhey were sick of it, yet stlll whec ;ne evening of it's rendition approaches, front seats are eagerly sought, and the seli-sacrificing gentleman or lady, as 1t might be, calmly sits down and enters into competition 10 see who can laugh the loudest It is the fashion to abuse Pinafofe, and then go and enjoy its sparklink wit and medly of pleasant tunes. The per fcrmance last evening can hardly be called as good as the previous one. The first act dragged along rather languidly, and those of the audience who hoped for failure predicted break down. But such was not the case. After the first act the entire cast seemed to put more spirit into ihe performance, and kept it up grandly to the end. As at the previous rendition, Miss Annie Brown as "Buttercup" was the darling of the audience. And we'll might she be, tor few cities in the country country can place an amateur on the board to equal her. Her magnificent
 
 the very soul of song, was Tn itself treat we'll worth listening to. Our Contempor. aTy asked few days ago what an alto. inezzosopruno was. Ever eager 10 spread Information, we answer; Good voices are :are: Miss Brown has one Of those rare good voices that extend beyond the ordin- ary compass. The ordinary compass of lhe human voice is two octavos There have been voices with compass of three octavos. hul they are exceeding rare, Bni We will confinc our comparisons to the present PinatOTe compauy. Mrs. Hawkins has a clear soprano voice of ex- cee ling strength and sweetness vet Miss Brown can lake Mrs. Hawkins highest note as clear and pure as she can. Is not Miss Brown then d soprano? The Nugget SSrnis Miss Brown a mc2Zo-sopranO We say llIe same, for her richest notes, if in- dted one can be said to be richer than an- other, are mezIo-soprano notes But does moi Miss Brown sing alto equally as well ss she sings soprano? Are not her deep sito nOles as rich, pure and strong as those oi our best altoyoices: Can We not say she is the best alto as truly ls We have already said she .is the best soprano: We must therefore add Co the Nuggett's wonder and quietly inform 1t that we have in our musical heroine of bumboat fa.2e a soprano-mezzo-sopran alto.

conspicuous as her singing, was very good. Mrs. Hawkins, as Josephine" was really excellent. Her strong, clear sopra. no was frequently encored and he acting was excellent. Her rendering of the Octette with her husband as Ralph was fine and elicited rounds of applause.
 Mir. Hawkins as Ralph" understood the character well, and hls masterly rendition contributed much to the general success. MT. Mitchell as Captain Corcoran" out. did himself, and captured the house by his innovations on the text Here is a sample.
 The Governors away for recreation,
 And he's travelling on splendid Pull
 man car.
 He'll try to get a big appropriation
 To scare the cowboys and disperse
 John R.
 Tine Indians have left the reservation,
 Sing hey the poor commanders that
 there are, And not soul can tell their destination;
 That's one for Wilcox, Hurst and Genl
 Carr.
 Chorus
 Sing hey! the proclamation, hey the pro.
 clamation!
 COchise, I'm sure, would better be with.
 out it far.
 Repeat chorus
 Ills acting was also inimitable, showing both natural ability and careful study. Brooks, as Sir Joseph" was as good as on the previous night, and that is about as high a compliment as we can pay him. He is as good an "Admirar as can be put on any board. Suman, as "Dead. eye" could hold the boards in any theatre. His acting was unaffected and natural, always holding the subject we'll in hand. Mrs. Price, as "Hebe," was matchless in her role, and could not be improved. Her selection for the character was timely and iu good taste. Uniting with a grace of person face of much sweetness and beau. ty, and melOdious voice, her advent on the stage was ever the signal for applause. Her rendition of "Hebe," too, was perfect, convincing critical spectators that she was possessed of histrionic ability of high order.
 The sisters, cousins and aunts" added not a little to the success of the entertainment, some of them being really good singers. Among them might be mentioned the Misses Sarah and Mamie Herring and Vlnia Locker These young ladies are possessed of fine vocal powers. and we hope to see them ad- vanced to more prominent parts Tn the near future. The jolly crew were also well selected and performed their parts nobly.
 Much of the credit for the success of the performance must be awarded to Mir c. W Firing, the manager. He grouped the caste, kept the whole thing we'll in his grasp, and really earned the gratitude of the community for such creditable local performance. The pianist, too, rendered good service and should be awarded his mead of praise. The performance will be repeated next Tuesday evening.

CENSUS.

The taking of the census for Co., chise county is of the utmost impor- tance, and great care should be taken by the Census Marshal in an endea. vor to secure complete and perfect list of all the inhabitants. Upon this census Is to be based the legisla- tive apportionment for the various counties, and it is a serious necessity for Cochise county that it secure all the share of representation it is &C., tually entitled to. The mining and other property interests of the coun- ty need practical laws, and unless we have sufficient number of rep resentatives to command respect and attention, the welfare of this section of the country will be seriously jeopardlzed. It is conceded that existing laws regulating taxation of mining property are unjust and un- reasonable, and work hardship alike upon the rich and the poor. Min ing property under the present Jaw should it be strictly interpreted, is taxed four times as much as any other property. Further, capital hesitates to Invest where the rate of taxation cuts too heavy figure in an estimation of profits. Poor mine owners, who depend upon investors for development and sale, are mate- rially affected by the fact that the selling value of their mines is les sened in accordance with the meas ure of taxation. Taxation should be equal and not oppressive of the few.
 For these and other reasons, it is necessary that Cochise county be fully and ably represented in the next legislature, and unless the cen sus is carefully taken such cannot be tbe result.
