MH. THEo. L. STILES, in his remark

MR. THEo. L. STILES, in his remarks at the Republican meeting Wednesday .anaar.-s s.s-.Iau aI-ioa .a the nominees that should not pass unheeded. He alluded to the commoB and reprehen- sible practice of trading votes with the opposition for individual gain. This practice is all the more to be dePlored from the fact that when candidate for office accepts his nomination and agrees to the platform, he loses to a certain extent, his identity as an in- dividual and becomes a representative of the principles embodied in the plat form. When we advocate his election it is an impersonal endorsement of those principles more than the advocacy of the man, and for him to barter those principles for his individual advance nent is a prostitution of his honor, his party principles and all his claims upon his friends for election.

MR. J. MCC. ELLIOTT, the Republican nominee for Treasurer of Pima county is in every sense one of the pioneers ot Arizona. He has resided m this Terrl- tory about twenty-five years, and this IS his first appearance before the people for political favcrs. He bears an envi- able reputation for strict integrity and sterling honesty, and is popular among all classes of people. It is extremely doubtful if there are ten voters in Pima county who are not personally scquaInt- ed with NIT. Elliott, and not one among them can bring a word against him as sn honorable man His election IS a toregone conclusion.

Let us cease paying freights on the material for soap and leather out of the county, and a profit to msnufact- urers. and then pay freight to have 1t raturned to us.

---------=---- GOVERNMENT suRvEYs.

There are many thousands of acres of government land in Arizona that in justice to the people of the Territory. should be surveyed in order that settlers can take up the land for grazing and agricultural purposes and acquire titlsB, but under the present system it cannot be done unless those who con- template settling upon the lands bear a large portion of the expense. After nearly all the States in the Union have been surveyed at cost of from six to twenty dollars per mile. Congress has seen fit to reduce the price to five doi- lars 8 mile, which, in most of the Terri tories will result in esioppIng further public land surveys. ThiI new arrange ment, or law, Is a great injustice to the people, and we presume its banefzl effects will be felt in all the Territories, where there remains public lands to survey. In Kansas, Nebraska and many of the other Western States, the sur veying of public lands va, paid for lib- erally and surveys were not dOled out by the township but whole counties and districts embracing millions of acres where there were no settlers within Q hundred miles were surveyed into town ships or sections. In those States nine tenths of the land was smooth prairie that could have been surveyed for less than half the money it costs to survey land in Arizona where there ara but few townships but what extend up into foothills or mountains. We believe the appropriation for public surveys in Ari- LOns for the current year is but Sl0,OOo and even this small amount will not be sxpepded for the reason that the work cannot be done for the prlc1 offered. We trust that Judge Porter will look into this unjust law when he goes to Washington and that be will do every thing ID his power to have 1t repealed and new law passed giving fair price for such work, and leave it with the Sur veyOr-Gensrals to determine what lands to survey. If 6 Surveyor-Gensrsl is it to be trusted and to hold the office, he should be competent and honest enough 10 decide what lands shall or shall not be surveyed.

Vim. Morri. onthe CoIors Of FIOwer,.

From the Geutleman's MagAxno.
 As an acolyte Tn matters of art, listen with reverence to the utterauces of those higher than myself in the ser vice other temple, and l am not often ready to dispute the claims of bishop and priest, self appointed though these ordinarily are. Some times, however, l am compelled to listen to a doctrine which I am scarcely able tO under stand. My very good and worthy mas ter. Mir. William Morris, whom l meu- tiOn with sincere respect, startles ms thus when he speaks of bad color ID flowers. Surely this is going httle too far Mir. Morris words are. "There are some flowers Gnventions of men, l. c. fiorists) which are bad color altogether and not to be used at alL Scarlet geran- iums. for instance. or the yellow cslceo- lRria; which, indeed are not uncommon ly grown together profusely, in order, suppose, to show that even flowers arc thoroughly ugly" Mir. Morris ObIec- tions to certain shades of red and yellow are known. Against them have noth- ing to say. He will not, however, soon convert me to the notion that the bright of the geranium, or the yellow, not un- ike that of the buttercup, of the cal ceolRris. IS bad color.

Many a traveller has inscribed his name upon the famous sycamore known as the Virgins Tree,at HeliopOlis, where Arabi Is now throwing up his entrench- ments for the defense of Cairo. The rude bullets of time and the embelllsh- ments of the tourist have dealt hardly with its trunk, but it's branches are still fiOurishing. According to the legend the Virgin and Child once rested under it's friendly shade during the flight to Egypt. Another story tells how Mary concealed herself with the Child in the hollow of the trunk. and that a kindly spider SO completely covered the open ing with it's web as to screen her effectuslly from observation" The tree was presented by the Khedive to the Empress Eugenie at the inagura- tion of the canal. The unfortunate part of the tale is, that the tree now shown as the real article was not planted until about 1872, the tree of the fable having dIed natural death in 1865.

For some time past the quaint old | Pagan fashion that bracelets should be worn by men as well as women has been gaining ground upon the Cont nent, chiefly, 1t would seem, ID countries | where the prevalent creed IS Roman | Catholicism.

 generally recognized by esquestrisns a- thelr patron saint Archduke RudolpL. the Austrian Crovn-Prlnce, wears upon his left wrist bracelet of chsin-msll'
