Eas NOT DROPPED IT.

The CITIZEN has aot dropped its ar ..-rsr-." but urges II with increased 5s-.i.tency and uuction that a Republi- ..- Delegate can accomplish more for .ts reaple Of Arizona than a Demo .-..f. one car. The reasons are simple .-5 obvious to any intelligent person. The Republicans are in the majority in b,-b Houses Of Congress. We believe .r.- we assert a fact recognized by all rbag we say that 1t IS a political maxim -fbo1b great national parties that either ,-;l do its utmost, within the cOnstitu- ,s,, and laws, to perpetuate itself and .-c-ease its chances Tor prelerment by .to reoDle. For instance, the party in -.,rs- in a State will redistrict it when er-r t believes It will gain Congress- -.-n or two by so doing.
 When the Democratic party IS in the -inoritv in State it does not hesitate ., forn coalitions with otber "a tics to 7sssat tbe Republicans, and it does not seem to make much difference who their .riss are. whether Greenback, Prohibit .;-, or Labor, or all combined. It is 4-rthln- to beat the Republicans As -rIa t5e bestowal of Federal offices and ,---onace are the rewards of political .a-vices. and are supposed to be placed where they will subEerve the interests 1.-the party. Of course the appointment a, .ulicial officers is a notable excep- non. It would be a violent presumption -5 suppose that a Democratic Delegate s' mediocre ability and without infu- ,1ce could obtain much, if anything, Of a Republican Congress, or any other Congress.
 We do not wish to be understood that Rsuublican Congress would neglector overlook the just demands of any dis -rct on account of the politics of the district. The Republican party does not coerce people to be Republicans The Star has furnished us with a pro uineut example of what a Democratic delegate with brains and influence ac- couplishei for lis Territory in the last Congress in the River and Harbor act, when 1t cited the Delegate from Mon ,ana. Judge Porter has brains and in- thence. and has the advantage of being 1 political accord with the majority in Congress. We have already called tbe attention of the Star to the fact that rheu Colorado was a Territory and Congress Democratic, the Republicans iCoorado saw the advantage to the Territory of sending a Democratic dele gate. 50 they supported and elected Tom Patterson, a Democrat, delegate. Tom had brains and influence and sue e55led n having Colorado admitted as State, and it was the vote of Colorado that made Hayes President. As be- tween Oury and Porter, We believe every intelligent citizen who esteems the pro- s-ess of the Territory and prosperity 0' the people of paramount considera- ton will vote for Porter.

How to Kill a Rattlesnake.
North Carolina Letter.


 A working party on a railroad here IS made ID of mountaineers and Geor- gians. One of the latter performed foolhardy feat the other day that made the blood of the unaccustomed specta- tors run cold. They were at work clear ing away the thick underbrush in ad- vance of the engineer, when some one shouted, "Ware of rattlesnakesT He saw of these reptiles about four feet long and five or six inches ID diameter lying lust ahead. The Georgian cut a sharp stick with forked end, and creep ing up to the snake deftly pinned 1t to the earth by pushing the forked end on either side of his neck. Then selZIng the tail in his right hand, he ran hls left down the snakes body and grasplng 1t firmly just back of the head. he held it up atarm's length and called on to the others to Hook at the yarmlnts mouth" IL was anything but pleas ant sight, aud most of the spectators were mortified. After holding 1t few minutes for general inspection, he sud denly swung the snake over his head with his right hand, letting go the hold of the left, and dashed 1t with great great force against a rock, killing 1t instantly. It was a cool and dexterOus feat, but very trying tO the lockers on, who cen sured the man for his folly at which he seemed nightly amused.

4 story which brings up "reminiscences of old Kuklux times, when murder and outrage by gangs of night-rlders were invariably preceded by some carefully coucocted statement of atrocities com mitted or contemplated by the negroes, comes from the Oscure region of ChOc- taw county, Alabama, where 1t is said papers have been discovered showing a plot on the part of the negroes to mas sacre the entire white population of the county. With this for starter, the outcome was a matter of cOurse-there must be a lynching-bee, and there was one. The white citizens held a meeting and decided to lay hold on seven of the ringleaders, one of whom, Jack Tarner, was publicly hanged in the presence of a large crowd which had gathered to see the fun. It is not yet disclosed in the interest of what particular Democratic candidate this successful demonstration was gotten up

 And with one accord they all pungle, saying: This k the last
 And in sixty days another call from the main office comes unto them and they rend theIr clothes and blaspheme nightly.
 And the insiders make merry one with another, saying:
 Behold this hole in the ground will bring forth great riches" And the su- Jerintendent writeth another letter JroclaimIng the wealth of the west 'rOss-cut:
 Behold the breast is in ore, and the 'topes drop fatness.

 It is odd that Troy, which uses more tarch and laundries more boiled rags than any other city in ChristendOm, ,hOuld denounce starch and the wearing 4 starched goods as a device of the devil 70 give ms part of our punishment as Se go along. The outbreak Is Tn Sen itor McArthur's Northern Budget, and d little of 1t reads as follows:
 Searched linen for the bosom the neck and the wrists, is objectionable ID every way we may consider 1t. It entails great outlay for original application, and even after the first wearing of 1t uard labor must be applied to produce the end and object 1t Is intended to sub serve. In warm weather the starch readily di-sOlves by coming into contact with precipitation, and after a few mo- nents of exercise a sensation of clam miness and stickiness disgusts the wear -r. the starched shirt front is cOntinu- ally humping up against the chin, sec saving across the throat, and forcing wearer to maintain a look of highhead- aduess that many modest men, like commercial travellers and politicians, would avoid if they could. We see no signs of reform Tn this fashion of starch The day may come when the bosom, the ,hin, the neck and the wrists will be from their linen clasps, but the chances are that the present ge eneratiOn will live and die stiff-necked.
