WHERE THE SHOE PrNcHrs

Like Moses of old, the Star shows its great concern over the Republican nom instion for Delegate in Congress.
 The avoved Democracy of the Star is less than six months old. When the Chinese question was at its night on the coast, and it was thought the party could win, it came out as bold ss a sheep and flung it's Bourbon banner to the breeze. Prior to that time it was an sp- plcant for federal patronage and dis owning Democratic proclivities.
 But that has no particular bearing on the question. The passage of the Chi nese bill robbed Democracy of a battle cry, and the Oregon election presaged disaster and disappointment to the hopes of that party's carrying the day on the coast. The failure of the Demo cratic Delegate to make any record in Congress. the exposure of the cor rupt political bargain made by the pro- prietor of the Star to condone fraud and the failure of the Democratic Conven- tion to voice the sentiments of the peo- pie, has rendered the case of the De- mocrscy in this Territory well nigh desperate. Their only hope is in the laundering of the Republican Territo- rial Convention, and judging from the character of the delegates chosen to at- tend that convention. we think they can be trusted not to help the Democracy in this their dire emergency.
 Of all the candidates mentioned for the honor of the nomination by the Republican Convention at PheniI, the name of Governor Tritle seems most certain to seal the fate of Democracy. Therefore at the Governor the Star aims it's bitterest shafts of invective and abuse, making statements which the editor and proprietor of the paper and the reading public know to be false and infamous. That being the case, it shows how desperate the strait of the party must be, when its leaders and its organs and Tyres have to resort to such tactics.
 The animus of the Stars course is ap- parent and 1t would be powerless to In- iure even if it did not possess a nal odorous record as the apologist and de- fender of ruffianism and crime. As ii is the condemnation of the Star is equi- valent to the highest praise.

Gor. TritIe Banauetted in Boston.

The Boston Saturday Evening Ga zette has the following: During the past week our city has been visited by His Excellency, F. A. Tritle, Governor of Arizona, who was educated here as a lawyer, and, seeking his fortunes in Ne vads, became the first president of the ComstOck mines, and of the first of them that paid a dividend. On Thurs day Governor Tritle was hOnOred by a dinner given to him under the auspices of the Boston anu Arizona Smelling and Reduction Company, at Point ShIr- ley, when twenty-eight prominent gen tlemen partook of one of Mir. Tait's most felicitous banquets. MT. F. F. Emery presided, and bright and inter estlng speeches were made by Governor Long, eI-GOvernor Rice, Mayor Green, Mir J. Otis Weatherbee and the guest of the day. Among others at the table were Col H. C. Mutt, President of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad; Mir. Thos. Mutt, President of the Mexican Central Railroad; Mir. Gregory, President of the Arizona Smelling and Reduction Con- pany: Major J. Henry Sleeper, Hon. E. H. Dunn, Mir. Wm. H. Burlen, Mir. Jas. A.

The Total Wreck Mine.

Corr. Engineering and Mining Journal.
 Sir: To escape the heat of Tucson, took a stroll over here yesterday to look at the Total Wreck mine and the % stamp mill now m course of erection, and which will be completed in about q month. l have heretofore given you a full description of the mine. The calcu- lation made to-day from actual meas urement gave over 40,OOO tons of ore now ready for reduction This will re- qure two years of constant work with this mill. The mine shows more good ore for the development than any mine SO far found in the Territory.
 The mill has all the modern improve ments, having been planned and con- structed by W. A. Armstrong, formerly of Virginia City, who has had large, if not the largest, experience in such mat ters on this coast. NOeIpeEse has been spared in its construction. This prop erty will take rank soon with the best paying mines, and make a record ln time comparing favOrably with the Ontario, of Utah. It is to such mines as this that We have to look to give confidence and permanence to the mining interest of the coGntry. The management Ia now, and has m the past been, conducted on business principles. It IS only pity that many others were not managed in like manner. Had the Santa Mariss or Bradshaw been managed as this prop erty Is and has been, the large amount of money lost Tn and by the citizens of Gotham would not have been a cause of complaint. I ought not, perhaps, to have mentioned them, because there Is no comparison between the properties The Santa Marias and Bradshaw never had any merit, while this is truly mer- itorious property.

THIS community has been sl

THIS community has been slumber- ing ln blissful ignorance of the too ut- terly too great man now briefly wasting his sweetness on the desert air of Ari- zona. They were rudely awakened from that slumber by a double back action communication in this mornings Star from the too utterly too great Henry B. Clifford, M. F., who purloined a few moments from his too too valuable time to drop words of wisdom upon the po- litical situation in Arizona. He starts out with a plea of ignorance, which was wholly unnecessary, as the article itself furnishes all the proof required on that point. The too utterly too great Henry B. Clifford, M E., informs the readers of the Star that fl his valuable time can be spared from the political battle fields in New York and Pennsylvania he will de- vote a portion of 1t to making Demo- cratic speeches in Arizona. We will try and stand it, but pity our Democratic friends.

A TERRIToRY's local interest some times runs contrsrywlse to its politicts. This was the case with Colorado.-then Territory-vhen the tidal wave gave the Democracy the lower House of Con- rress by an overwhelming majority. To reap the benefit of being in harmony with the majority Tom Patterso n, an able Democrat, was sent as Delegate. He labored with bis brethern in politics and they admitted Colorado into the Union as a State with the hope that they would secure two United States Senators to help them in their struggle for control of the Senate. Colorado when its interest ceased to be in the line of Democracy elected Republican State government, two Republican Senators, and sent Belford, Repubh- can, to Congress in the place of Demo cratic Delegate. Colorado has been well cared for by the general govern ment and undoubtedly owes large measure of its prosperity to its political course.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Republican County Convention concluded it's deliberations on Thurs day. The proceedings throughout were harmonious, and if the same spirit char acterizes the future conduct of the cam paigp, the prospects of success of the Republican party iA Pima county this fall are most Aattering.
 The Convention selected thirteen del egates to attend the Territorial Conven- ton at Phoenix. The delegates chosen are representatives of the party, and most of them will attend the Convention Tn person.
 The Convention also took occasion to pay Gov. Tritle a well deserved comph- ment on his services both in Washing ton and as Governor of the Territory, and recommended his nomination as dele gate in Congress.
 This was not in the nature of an instruction to the delega- tion, but expressed the unanimous sentiment of the entire convention.
 The party recognize Gov. Tritle, per sOnally, as a stGunch, true and tired Republican, and officially as one of the most efficient Governors the Territory has ever had, and they know that if he can be induced to head the ticket for Delegate in Congress, there IS no ques- tion but what the people will elect him and that Arizona will then have in Washington a representative who can secure for our interests the attention that they deserve.
 The spirit exhibited at the conven- ton, the character and standing of it's members, is an indication that the grand, old Republican party, reiuven- ated in this western country, will this fall enter upon the campaign with all its pristine strength and vigOr and achieve a grand victory for good and efficient government.

As yet they have devoted not much more than a stickfun to the exhibit from Arizona, although it is acknowledged to be one of the finest Tn the exposition. This course of the Denver papers will not tend to draw any more people to visit the expo sition.

TEE Star demands that the jail shall be so managed that the incarcerated Democrats can effect their escape in time to vote the party ticket. Adobe walls without other precautions would not hold the inmates twenty-four hours. The law-abiding public who have no political interests to serve by jail de- livery commend the precautions taken by the officers to restrain law breakers. If the officers should heed the advice Of the Star a jail delivery is sure to occur, and then the Star would be the first to howl about the incompetency of those in charge It is not worth while to pay much attention to paper that blows both hot and cold.

THE Star shows its weak spot in itI attacks upon Governor Tritle. It knows that his nomination means Republican victory and Democratic defeat. The utterances of the Star are simply walls from the last ditch, and will meet only merited public contempt. A mud bat tery campaign will count for little when the mud is thrown by such unclesn hands as the proprietor of the Star is known to possess.

THE animus of the Stars attack on the jail management is transparent. They are anxious to have jail delivery so as to swell the Democratic vote this fall and are correspondingly opposed to the means made use of to restrain the members of their party who are incarcer- sted for vsrious crimes from petit lar ceny to murder.

Observations made by M. Raford, a member of the Societe de Horticulture at Limoges, shows that a castor-Oil plant (Ricinus communis) having been placed in a room infested with tiiea they disappeared as by enchantmeDt Wish ing to ascertain the cause, he soon found under the castor-oil plant number of dead flies, while a large number of bodies remained clinging to the under surface of the leaves. It would there fore appear that the leaves of the castor oil plant give out an essential oil or some tonic principle which possesses strong insectide qualities. Csstor-oil plants are in France very much used as ornamental plants in rooms, and they resist well variations of atmosphere and temperature. As the castor-oil plant IS much grown and cultivated in all gar dens, the Journal d'Agriculture points out that 1t would be worth while to try decoctions of the leaves to destroy the green flies and other insects which in summer are so destructive to plants and fruit trees. The plant is also common enough in this country. and readers can therefore readily test the accuracy of these French reports.
