SENATOR EDMUSDs has a firm faith in the success ot the republican party in the coming presidential campaign. Dur ing a recent interview he made use of following expressions, after totally dis claiming any intention to allow his name to be used in Presidential slate making Il believe the republican rarty IS stronger to-day than at any time within the past decade. I am confident the republican candidates will be elected if the selections be made with reference to party rejavsnations through the re
 verses of 1882. A great majority of the people are at heart with us. I can judge this well from my own sources of lnfor- nation, for this same opinion with re- spec. to myself as prospective csndi- ! date, and of which I wish as e friend ! you would dispossess your mind, has brought me n mass of letters almost ap- ! pallinE In numbers, and beyond the measure Of my stsength to answer, and all unite in expressions of the confidence Of the people everywhere in republican principles, but they show, at the same time, the importance of the selection of the candidates on the ticket in defer ence to the sentiments of the great mass of the people. A number Of these letters
 are from away out on the Pacific CoRs,
 and down in the southern states"

Hancock Defeated.

When Hancock was stationed in this city 10 lS5S-6l, as quartermaster of the southern district of California, he wal an athlete of no small pretensions Among the animals used for transporta. tlon, and over which be had charge were number of camels, some of which were the possessOrs of vicious tempers One, large buck, was a continual source of trouble. and he generally made 1t lively for the unlucky individual who had occasion to go within the in- closure Tn which he was confined. On one occasion Hancock went into the corral on some matter Ot business, but as soon as the old camel saw him he started on the dead run for his unlucky victim. The man vnO has since become famous on many hsrd-fougbt battle ground did not quail from the attack of his formidable antagonist, and soon a GrsecO-ROmBn wrestling match of the most approved style was taking place. that would causs even the redOubtabie MuldOOn to pale with envy. The hero Of Gettysburg. with a haven't-got-l long, tO-lIve expression on hls face, was first thrown into the air, his heels pointing straight toward the heavens and the next moment hurled with irresistible force to the earth. Several rounds were fought without Hancock losing his grip, but the camel WIS just getting into the right trim for Hn all-day fight, and. be- ing within few feet of the fence, Han cock watched bis opportunity and sud denly released his hold and started for the house. How he got over the ten foot fence has never been satisfactorily settled, and ms Hancock was always reticent on the subject. it will probably never be explained, unless. at this late day, he unbosoms himself-Los Angeles Times.

IRE Irish preFs Of this country and | lrcliua has been very free n the discus sion O. t1e action Ot our government
 and Minister Lowell, in connection with l the O'DUnnell trial. The Irish element, of course, condemn the c3ur-e of our goverr-nsa r.ght through. The ' E.
 fish press, w ich IS more conserva i've,
 has found fault with our government
 becaHsa t went too far and asked for
 de.Gy, waen 1t was snOWn that every
 step had been carefully considered,
 Slich vas also known tO our g0Fern- meat l. is fact that the American peop.e have no sympathy with either the PhPnix Park assassins or the mur- dsrars af Carey. While the American people know that Irelaud has been
 ab17ed. and that the common people Of
 that country are, in d great many
 instances, ev5u worse of than were
 the slaves Of ihis country bsfore
 tue war, they do not believe it does any good to assassinats Indiyid lals, which in no way helps the cause Of Ireland. but on the contrary ls-sens the chances for relief
 In the consideration of this question 1t is important that We do SO calmly and dispassionately. England. the United States and Ireland each have their own ideas upon the question, which are widely at variance. But as 1t IS a cues ton that the United States has no busi- ness to meddle with, therefore the opin- ion of the American people and nation IS in the nature of a private one, and cuts no figure in the case. It is well m this connection, however, after the Irish have found so much fanlt with Americas inaction, to inquire a little fur ther and sec what disinterested people of other nations think about it. The Parls Morning News of recent date, publishes an editorial sev- erely commenting on the imbecility dis played by the American State Depart ment in the O'ponDell correspondence, and says: "The Secretary of State at Washington was swayed by motives which should never be allowed to enter into Hu international controversy. Mr. Frolnghuyssu mas exposed himself to the rilicule of sensible men on both sides Of the Atlantic ID using the full power of the government Co placGtc the bitterness Of class, and perusal or his efforts in tlis correspondence can only lead to the belief that he is simply a respectable 'nincompoop.' The Gign- ity, wisdom. and ability once so marked ly prominent ID American diplomacy have departed. and, instead, there re- mains the stupidity which comes of the tactics of the ward politician" This is the way disin-erested people of ether nations regard the action Of our Score tary Of State, and we must admit there are grounds for the conclusions arrived af.

TEE REAvIs GRANT.

The Board of Supervisors ot thi
 county are n favor of doing somethins
 toward opposing the the ReRvis grant 1T
 the Surveyor Generals office, and h.y,
 written to the Boards of the other coun
 ties interested to invite their co-opera
 tlOn. Thls IS a move m which all Oul
 citizens will. or should. sustain them
 The place tO commence the fight against
 this sO-called grant is the Surveyor Generals office. That is the first i'm pOrtant battle line. Should Mr. Reavis
 secure d favorable report from the Sur 1 veyor General be will have wen the ! preliminary and most important engage | ment That lie will secure a favorable report from that quarter unless the peo- ! pie affected bg the grant oppose nim, is 8 foregOne conclusIon, unless appear ances in this ease are deceivine. We
 will further suggest in this connection
 that the lawyer or lawyers employed must Ue thoroughly familiar with Span lsh grants, law and language. Without these qualific; tiOns the best lawyers in the United States would be useless. It ls not question of law in the United States, but question of Spanish law and grants.
 The above paragraph is from the Florence Enterprise, and while the sug- gestiou made IS good one, the CITIZEN does not share the fears Of the Enter prise, "that he, (Reavis,) will secure a favorable report from that quarter (the Surveyor Generals offieer unless the people affected by the grant oppose him, Is a foregone conclusion. unless appear ances Tn the case are deccivinc." The CITIZEN believes that Surveyor General Johnson will render his decision upon the merits unG evidence in the ease.
 The Enterprise found fault some time ago because Mir. Hopkins, who is con- nected with the Surveyor Generals | office, went down to Mexico to inspect l the records in the Reavis case. J. Rsavis and his attorney followed Mir. Hopkins to look up their side of the case. The visit of Mir. Hopkins had | nothing to do with that Of Reavis and | his attorney, md he could not have ] prevented them from going had he | to do SO. The CITIZEN believes that the people on the so-called grant will be fairly dealt by. There have been a number Of flags made at Surveyor General Johnson by the papers of thIs Territory, which are false, and calculated to mIslead the people Mr. Reavis will have to depend entirely upon the merits of bis claim for a dee sion. The CITIZEN believes Surveyor General Johnson to be straightforward and honest, and that he should not be iistrusted until be is found to bs other- yvi~t.

A Proposed Han Route.

The Clarion says: The Board of Su pervisors at their present session have been asked to pass resolution request ing our delegate in Congress tO urge upon the postal authorities the estsb lishment of weekly mail service from Clifton to Springerville or St. Johns, in Apache county. In Apache county, south of Springerville, there are a con siderable number Of people who are without any mail facilities whatever. In Graham county, north of Clifton, we have counted up the people living per maneutly along the San Francisco and Blue rivers, who are without postal fa- cllities. and found them to number n, besides IS adult cattle men living on the Eagle river.

She does not care for herself, but she fears it will iniure the cause of woman suffrage. Miss Anthony is 6 great woman; her heart is n the cause she espouses, and she should be fairly treated.
