SOME of the democratic manipulstors
 in this city are playing a desperate game |; and it is one that will be likely to get them into serious trouble. They have persuaded citizens of Mexlco who are as ignorant of our political system as @ child, by false representations to take out their first.pspers of cItenizsbip and then registered them as voters. These de- loded n.en have no idea of becoming citizens of the United States, and many of them do not intend to reside ID this country, and their ignorance has been taken advantage of by these manipuls- tors for political purposes. IL is choice morsel of food for reflection for our citizens who have grown up with pairiouc love of our free institu- tions, to know that their intelligent eX- ercise of the grand privilege of self gov ernment is to be offset by this clsndes- tine practice of prostiiuting the elective franchise. How do our bona fide voters relish the neutralizing trick that has the practical effect equivalent to a disfran- chisemeut of just so many voters who oonscientiously discharge their duty of citizenship? These delu1ed men are desIgned to be used as mere dummies, and voted in the interest of certain democrats; they are under the control of men noted for their corrupt manipulation of the ballot, and who will soruple at nothing 10 accomplish their nefsrious purposes. Tue matter is now being thoroughly in- ve.tigsted and there is a strong probs- bllity that if snS justice can be had. they will be gwen the benefit of its wholesome visitation.

''CLEvELASD's administration IS very popular" says a democratic exchange, and indeed It is actually smothering with popularity. It was only 8 few days ago that prominent New York democrat, in making 8 speech to 8 dem ocrstic meeting in New York city, de- nounced Grover Cleveland as an incom- petent and ingrAte; trsItor to the democratic party, and a nothing, whom the party will repudIste in 1888. and his rebuke was received with the most en- thusiastIc applause That is the quality of popularity his accidental e1cellency has achieved.

OPPOSITION is made to delegate O. c. Bean because he has not dynamited some of the land grsbbers of Arizona, snd extinguished the traudulen titles to sundry grants through some occult power trey assume to believe be ought to possess. The absurdity of these pre- mises ought to be apparent to every person possessing sven a fragment of sense. The titles to all uncon6rmed land grants, genuine or fraudulent, must pass through the proper channel, and the delegate to congress has ss much control over them as the man in the moon.

THE Tombstone Epitsph Is angry be cause it could not dictate to the repub- licsns of Arizona who their nominee for delegate to congress should be. and the democratic newspapers now quote from if as though it was a republican journal. It is not a republican newspaper in any sense. and if its evil counsels had been considered the democrats would have had wslkover. The Epitaph IS but a sort of irritsnt plaster, and repre- sents nothing.

TIE democrats don't relish the re- ma ks made by Gov. Gosper on Tues day night, at the ratification. Gov. Gosper did not build them that way, and when the democrats hutter it shows that he hurt them n B vital spot. We are half inclined to believe that the democrats will whine and kick when they find themselves so badly left, on the day of the election. Somehow, the democrats do not agree with the repub- hcsns upon every point, strange as it may seem

OLD Geronimo wants to be regarded Bs a prisoner of war, and claims that he was at war with the United States.

THE democratic county ticket has at last sneaked back into the columns of the Star with its taIl between its legs and unable to offer any excuse for its unpardonsble absence.

All-Hallow-Een occurs ON the 3lst
of this month, and is the vigil of all
Saints Day. Many curious customs
are connected with this festival.
Burns informs us in note to his
poem on Halloween that s'the first
ceremony of the festival is pulling
each a stock, or plant of kali. They
may go out, hand in hand, with eyes
shut, and pull the first they meet
with, its being big or little, straight
or crooked, is prophetic of the size
and shape of the grand object of all
their spells, the husband or wife. If
any ylrd, or earth, stick to the root,
that is torcher, or fortune; and the
taste of the custoc, that is, the heart
of the stem, is indicative of the nat
ural temper and disposition. Lastly,
the stems are placed somewhere
over the head of the door, and the
christian names of the people whom
chance brings into the house are, ac-
cording to the priority of placing
the stems, the names in question"
Some of the old Saxon calenders
have marked the character of this
month by the figure of husband
man carrying sack on his shoulders
and sowing corn, as expressive that
October was a proper time for that
important part of agricultural labor,
when the weather was cool and dry.
In later times October has been de-
picted as young man dressed in Il
garment of carnation and yellow, in
dicative of the hues of the trees at
this season; his head is decorated
with garland of acorns and oak
leaves, and his face is "full of merry
=glee.n2 in his left hand he holds a
basket of chestnuts, medlars and
mushrooms, while his right hand

pion, symbolical of the sun entering

The interesting researches in Ger
manv, by Prof K. Wollny, have
shown that both soil aud crops have
a great influence upon the propor-
ton of moisture in the atmosphere.
Other things being equal, the atmos
phere moisture is greatest over hum
us soils, least over sands, and takes
an intermediate position over CLAWS.
The air over fiat and concavo sur
faces is moister than that over ad-
jacent slopes, while easterly and
westerly inclines take an interme-
diate place. The moisture is greater
over plant-covered tract than over
a bare soil, and increases with the
density of the vegetation. Among
the ordinary crops, meadows impart
most moisture To the air; then follows
perennial fodder plants, such as
clover and lucern; then summer
crops which have a prolonged veget-
alton, such rs turnips, maize, oats,
beans and potatoes; then those of
briefer growth, as flax, rye, barley
and peas. aud, lastly, winter wheat.

ism? At two o'clock on the morning OF
Governor Stephens death an editor of the
Constitution, who, with two stenographers,
had prepared the narrative of the night,
was with the watchers in the blue room OF
the mansion. The Constitution had to go
to press at $50 o'clock to the minute. 1t
was not believed that Mr.. Stephens would
die before that hour. Consequently the
narrative had been written in the present
tense. If death should occur before the pa.
DER was put on the press, there was perhaps
o hundred places in the story where the
past tense would have to be substituted. A
force of proof readers sat with the proof be-
fore them, every contingent point marked.
Thirty printers sat at their cases awaiting
orders. The telephone between the man
sion and the Office was open, and the night
editor sat with the 'phone to his ear. At
1928 O'Clock Dr.. Steiner, rising from his
knees with q reverent face, said, He IS
dead!n Before the whispered words had
left the room the word dead flew along
the telephone wires and reached the listen

the parlor knew that the great soul had
taken flight, dozen proof readers were
