THE CHIEFS NEW BADGE.
A HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL FROM CHIEF
 IOHSsoN's FRIENDS

Shortly after seven o'clock last even ing there was an interesting presenta- ton at the office of the chief of police. which wa- especially creditsble to the Tucson force of peace guardians. Chief Johnson was quietly looking over the police docket, when in filed a number of the attaches of the department and prominent citizens. Among those pres ent were Sergeant Newcome, Officer Esparza, special officer Lucas, Jailor T. F. Hallahan, and ex-COuneilman Par ker.
 The chief was somewhat surprised at this unexpected incursion upon bis mu- nicipal domains and was the more as. founded upon receiving the summons from Jailor Hallahsn to step under thS mistletoe hanging from the chandelier When the bewildered chief had unmu - muringly posed himself in the attitude dictated, T. F. Hallahan spoke to hlu substantially as follows:
 CHIEF JOHNSON, SIR: I have been se-
 lected this evening to present tO you token of respect and esteem on behalf of the members of the Tucson police force ID which you have so ably performed your duty as chief for the few months past During your administrations She police force have reached a degree Of proficiency never attained by any other chief, and you have received the good will of the members by constant cOur- tesy and consideration.
 This gift will show the disadvantages under which you have labored. We all know the success of your administration IS all the more gratifying to your friends in and out of the police department. We all wish you a career as chief that will last for years, but if at any time you should cease to lead Us, the friends you have made as chief will be as firm as ever.
 Receive this testimonial at the hands of those that have felt the benefit of your ability and wherever your lot in life may be cast may thIs be a reminder of your friends and well visbers of the Tucson police force.
 Whereupop, at the conclusion, Chief Johnson was handed handsome gold badge, as elegant an affair as any head of police department would desire to wear. It IS in the form of a shield, sur mounted by the American eagle. From tLe beak of the bird streams pendant in which is inscribed the word Chief" In the center of the shield proper is a smaller one bearing the stars and stripes. Above this Is engraved "Pohce," and be- low Tucson. A T." Besides being handsome as a work of art. and intrinsI- cally valuable. it is all the more sacred as true token of esteem from fellow men.

TIE Manitoba Press IS of the opinion that circumstances may soon lead to the annexation of tEat portion of the Domin- ion to the United States: "We believe, 9 it says, "thst causes calculated to prod uce an annexation movement in the Dominion are at work, and that, unless properly guided, they will have that effect. The Northwest is discontented; the Eastern provinces gre depressed. We see but one way in which such a movement can be averted for any con- siderable length of tune. and that is by bringing about a commercial union. Canadians are not signing for political connection with the United States, but we believe that before long they will be willing to accept even that rather than allow themselves perpetually to be shut out of their natural markets"

THE strsight-out and straight-halred Republicans of Arizona seem determined to prevent a few men outside the Terri tory from capturing the delegation to the Chicago Convention. In this senti- ment they do not differ from the mass of solid and right-meaning Republicans in all the States and districts Los Ange- les Times.
 It Is not likely that the Republicans of Arizona will allow themselves to be bossed by men who have axes to grind in Washington. Men live and fatten on certain kinds or patronage. They are human leeches sucking the best blood out of the party and should be bottled

He has a harder task to perform. for he is against the dominant party ir Ireland, and It divides the Irish party and develops the hope that it can hold the balance of power. O'Conner must certainly be quite a central figure in England. The Parnellites will watch O'Conner and O'Conner had better watch the Par nellites.
