Journal has been thrown into wild
spasms Of terror by the fact that n ladies'
dress reform association in England,
composed Of emincntly respectable
women and led BY the Viscountess Uab-
berton, proposes to do away with the
present style Of female apparel and don
the masculine trowscrs, and he shrieks
in dismay:
We are willing that they shall have
the ballot when they convince US that
they want it; we are willing that they
shall give us the whole width Of the
street crossing and take to the mud; we
are willing that they shall resign to
US their seats in the horse cars and 9TH

our placid disregard; VIC are even will
ing that they shall crawl out Of bed first
and kindle the fire in the morning; but by
the holy hide of the sacred bull, we will
cling to our pantaloons

And the sun grows cold"

Liquor Dealers Meeting.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 2O.-The na- tlonal distillery and spirit dealers association of the United States is in session to-day, under a call issued by President H. M. Shuffeed, of Chlca- go. About fifty members were pres ent and the meeting held with closed doors. The call refers to disap- pointment concerning congressional action for relief to whiskey busi- ness and says that in addition there- to dangers are arising at the hands of a misguided and irrational class of fellow citizens who are with fanatical zeal and persIstencj seeking the de- struction of our business. Through restriction and prohibitory state leg islation it suggests the reorganiza
 ton of the association upon an en- larged and more practicable plan.

HONESTY.

The assertion of the Republican press that the Democratic ticket of Cochise is "too honest to win," is proving to be of much service in ma terially adding to the strength of that ticket. Not only Democrats, but those Republicans who desire a pure administration of governmental affairs, have joined hands In a pledge to work for the "honest ticket" Leading Republicans, resident of Tombstone, are daily heard pro- nouncing in favor of the Democratic candidate for the office of Sheriff, be- cause they know him to be steady in his habits, responsible, efficient and brave. His position in the county, as a leading business man, offers every assurance of a proper conduct of the duties of the office, and his past career guarantees an absence of political trickery. It is the same with the candidates for the office Of supervisor. They are all known to be men of probity, careful business habits, fine execu- tive ability and splendid credit. Mir. Jones, candidate for the Recordership, will poll a solid Democratic and large Republican vote. He has been honest in the administration of his office hitherto, and, through that hon. esty will be retained by the people for second term. So it is, from one end to the other of the ticket-hon- esty and ability. In fact the only ac- cusation so far made against the Democratic nominees, is that they are too honest, and the people will rise in their might, at the polls, and defend them upon that basis. Hon. esty is pretty good banner to march under.

TIE first bill restricting Chinese immigration was passed by the votes of Democrats and vetoed by Re- publican president. The last bill was jammed down the shroats of both the Republicans and their pres- ident, by Democratic strength and the force of public opinion. And yet the Republican party asks credit for all this.

Zabriskie, Republican leader in Arizona, denies Porter, the candidate for delegate to Congress, for the reason that his nomination was the result of "corrupt bargain" It is gratifying to know that the "civil service assessment" party, can boast of few good men.

THE CANDIDATES

The candidates of the Democracy of Cochise county are before the people, who are to judge of their qualifications for the offices they de- sire to represent. It is always diff fcult to make up ticket, the whole of which will be perfect, but the Democratic convention has been em- inently wise in it's choice of men, combining, in every instance, fitness and popularity, with integrity and conscientiousness. The legislative representation IS composed of re- sponsible men who are known to have the interests of the people at heart, who are posted as to their needs, and whose business qualifications insure no acton without calm deliberaton. The candidate for sheriff possesses, in rare degree, all the qualifca- tions necessary in an executive off. cer. He has judgment, is brave, determined, conscientious, ener- getic and can never be influenced against what he conceives to be his duty. His reputation in business circles is unsurpassed, and his record, as a man, without flaw. Larkin w. Carr will do his duty without finching, and do it well. Ben Goodrich will make 8 good Treasurer-there could be no better choice. None can dispute his fitness, and his past and present irreproach- able life is an absolute guarantee that he will administer the duties of hls office honorably and faithfully. Al. Jones received a better endorse ment than we can give him, in his nomination by acclamation-a nom- ination that came to him spontan- eously, owing to his past conduct of the same office he now aspires to fill for the second time. The selection for District Attorney, Marcus A. Smith, was wise one. He is a lawyer of ability, gentleman of honor and an industrious worker. B. L. Peel is most worthy of the of- flee of Probate Judge, owing to his legal training, kls fine sense of hon. or and the steadiness of his habits. Pat Holland is so sure of election, that 1t is almost needless to refer to him. He will do his duty we'll as Coroner. The choice for Public Administrator is a wise one, Alexis Freeman being a gentle man whose honesty is beyond question, whose ability is frst-class, and who, by special training, is peculiarly fitted for the office. Those chosen by the Convention for supervisors are too we'll known throughout the county to need spec, ial endorsement. Their qualifications are pre-eminent, their characters be. yond reproach. The convention es, pecially displayed wisdom in listen, ing to the claims of various localities. Every section of the county has re- ceived consideration in representa-, tion. Altogether the ticket is an ex. csptionally strong one.

THE Legislature itself can only deal with the census fraud. The acts of de facto Legislators are legal, and all acts of an Arizona Leg islature are deemed to be confirmed by Congress, unless rejected by that body. Any rejection must come within two years after the passage of an act. The fraud can be beaten, if a sufficient number of the coming legislators can be got to vote one way
