This morning that paper says Cocmse county needs the protecting arm of Pima" The Star favors Oury's bill of putting Cochlse back into the same judicial district with Pima. NIT. Oury's constituents from that part of bis polit- ic1l vanguard did not ask him for his services in th!s matter. It w;s the work Of two or three men. Ne believe that the duties will be too great for one judge it tha. county Is added to those which the judge Of the first district all ready has in his circuit and legal matters must of necessity be crowded and forced 10 completion or passed and delayed. 4 iadge who is interested in bis work; who is industrious, conscientious and who has i1 view the ends of justice and the welfare of the community and coun- try at arge, will ticd more work in thi- district than he can do justice to. If he Is to the contrary he can get through the work but 1t will not be satisfactory and justics will not have been served.

TIE political situation in Arizona in the Republican party IS mixed. That is, there are favorites in the Territory-Lo- gan, Blaine and Arthur. Blaine holds largely his old strength, which four years ago was greater, perhaps. than any other mans. The soldier element in the Territory is largely for the old Union war horse and soldiers friend; while Arthur, of course, has friends among the United States officials and others, though we think a small num- Der, comparatively speaking. We have not received many replies to our request to Republicans to indicate by postal or letter their preference; those we have re- ceived- are about equally divided be- tween Blame and Logan.

 At a meeting of th Washington Press Club, the other night, Colonel Winter smith, of Kentucky, told the following story:
 ''I was q candidate for Senator from Kentucky in 1876, he said, "when I told one story that defeated me; but can tell 1t now without any such danger. One day was in the gallery of the Sen ate, when McCreery, of Kentucky. rose to make a speech. Every Senator who was on the floor sought the cloak rooms, except his colleague, Garrett Davis. and the Vice President. I could not help that, but when a stampede from the gal lery began l felt that my opportunity had come. Jumping to my feet, I shouted: Senator McCreery is a Kentu .kian; so am l. The first man who moves out of this gallery shall dier All took their seats, under duress, and for more than five mortal hours we sat still listening to his ad- dress. When 1t was over I lowered the pistol which 1 had held ready in my hands, and the crowd started With a gesture one man stopped the rush. 'Col- onl Wintersmith, he said, we have stayed here under duress at vour re- quest. Now let me ask you a favor It IS granted before it Is asked said, not to be outdone in courtesy. He went on: Colonel Wintersmith, We have been here nearly six hours, because we preferred to stay rather than be shot But # this ever happens again, We ask you simply this-shoot without any par ley. Some newspaper men got hold of it. McCreery's friends were so angry with me that rather than see me elected they turned in ard chose Beck.

FRoM the dispatches receIved from Berlin 1t .s presumed that Sargent and Bismarck have kissed and made up, for We are told that Bismarck has invited Sargent to dine with him at Q state din her, and that Sargent Las accepted, which in a diplomatic sense puts an end to all palaver over the Lasker resolu- tiuns. Bismarck was nasty in his action in not receiving the resolutions of Tom Ochiltree, not s0 much on account Of any respect to the dead reformer, but of the implied insulting language to Bis marks government. which was uncsiled for, and should never have gone out as passed by tine American Congress. Sar- gent is blunt, honest, straightforward and outspoken, and upon this occasion his words and actions dlspleased hIs "highness," and who can wonder when We contrast the freq and easy, blunt and honest outspokenness of the American people with the cautious and reserved court manners cf the German court. What is etiquette here is rudeness there in many instances, but We are glad these gentlemen are going to settle this mat ter over coffee instead of pistols.

(Miss.) Democrat informed Senator
Hoar's Outrage Committee that "if

would be killed at once,r and this
expression of sentiment was ap-
plauded by q crowd Of Democratic

good to wave the bloody shirt
over this statement, for the wit

What the Herald says rs to the
effect Of the condition described
as prevailing in Copiah, upon it's

plorably true. But the alternative,
the sway Of the ''majority" would
not only prohibit the Introduction
of ''emigrants and capital;' but
would also drive out the native
