 SPEAKER CARLISLE is having little bit of a boom. The Michigan Demo- crats are giving the free-trader lift" Watterson will be heard from soon. Dana is disgusted and has come to the conclusion that the Democrats should have no platform; play a lone hand. There does not, on the whole, seem to be much popular interest taken in any movement of inc Democrats. The req son of this, says the San Franciscan, k, first, the Democratic convention is to be held a month later .han the Republican gathering; second, that GIr. Tilden, the Democratic God Almighty, declines to vouchsafe to hls worshipeis a revela- tion as to his intention Co run, or to the contrary; and third, that a conyic- ton Is abroad that the Democracy have scarcely a fighting chance for the Presi- dency this year.

 SOME one asked Mr. Patton, the sup erIntendent of the bonanza niGes, why, if they had struck it rich, they did pot announce the fact? MT. Patton rep!Ied that it would do more harm than good. That fl they had struck it rich and should herald it to the world, hundre Is of people would rush to the camp that must suffer for the necessarirs of life and there would be portion of the population out of employment which would give eveFyi oiy z eat trouble. It is true that such news travels fast and is widespread in an unaccountable short space Of time, bringing with it hundreds of people who cannot get en- plOymsnt. The plan If Mr. Patton IS excellent. The camp Goes not then be- come over populated. The demand for labor keeps about even with the supply. There IS in consequence a steady, healthy growth and those who have ventured reap a reasonable harvest.

The time has gone by when the in- terests of Mohave county can any longer

But the railroad has changed all this as far as concerns nS, though we don't see any change Tn the sentiments oi Yavapai's citizens to us. They still think they own Us, body and soul. Even now, the Prescott papers are crying out against a term of the dis trict court here, because If 1t were held, the Prescott term might have to be put off few days. It IS ;ime Prescott peO- pie understood that their little town, though it Is the capital. is not by any means the whole of Arizona, and that other portions of the Territory have some rights which must be respected. The people of MOhave care not whether the capital Is at Prescott or Tucson, for one IS almost as accessible to us as the other, but they do care about having the regular court terms, and we insist that the jealousy and selfishness of our neighborIug county be no longer allowed to stand in the way. It Is nearly nine months since a term of court has been held here, and We say again that the interests of this county, let alone common justice, de- mand an immediate session of court, even if Prescott, which has already had one term this year, should have to wait a week or two.-MOhave County Miner.

WHEN Ben Butler heard the news that the Anti monopolist convention held at Chicago last week, had nominated him as their candidate for President. Ben was on the floor of ths, House and exhibited sisns of great pleasure. Ben thinks the best thing the Democracy can do is to endorse him. Butler was, at the time of the nomination, waiting to address the committee of labor of the House on the eight hour law. Butler is putting in all the cheap clap-trap tactics his inventive mind can hatch up, to catch the laboring men of the country.

For the past few months there have been signs of dissatisfaction of the Mexican government or officials towards Americans. The reports may toe largely exaggerated. We hopa they are.

THERE can be no longer any doubt about the meaning of Buffers nomina- ton for President by the Anti-Mono- polists. It IS to put him in position to compete for the Democratic nomination and it is working. It will not surprise us if he did not become formidable candidate.

The Times says: IL need hardly be stated that Lotta ia deficient in most Oi the qualities of Mme. Judic.

The case of the City Of Cheyenne VS.
James Ferris, which was tried before
Judge Fisher ON Thursday, was decided
by him yesterday. The Court held that
while the ordinance prohibited the erect
ing or placing Of a wooden building within
the fire limits, it did not undertake to
prohibit parties from either moving from
M part off, lot to the other. or the re-
pairing of a wooden building which was
erected before the fire ordinance was
passed.
The rcpairinr, however, must not be
such as comprehcnds any enlargement of
the building, and such did not appear to
have been the case in the matter under
consideration. On the whole. therefore,
the Court decided that there had been no
violation of the fire limit ordinance, and
the defendant was consequently dis
charged.
