Ruled by the South.

As rule the democrats adhere stiict- ly to precedent in promotion 10 place in congress. If thi, rule IS adhered to by Speaker Carlisle, and under the circum- stances it i, to be expected that he will do SO, the next session of congress Twill see the south in the saddle" to m even greater extent than E was before the war.
 It is the general custom of congress whenever a chairman of . committee dies or leaves congress to promote the members of the committee ef the same party who has served next longest in time. Following out this custon the chairmanship of the thirty-hve leading committees will fall as follows. Seven to Georgia. five to Alabama, five to Mis- souri. three to Texas, three to Arkansas, two to Illinois, two to Pennsylvanla, t~o to South Carolina and one each to Louis iona, Ohio, Kentucky. Indiana and Vir- sinia.
 The chairman of committees practi- cally have the shaping of all legislation. At the mex, session of congress Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, Texas and Arkan- sas have the majority of the committees New York has no chairman at all; neith- CT has New Jersey nor any of the great northwestern states. Truly, it looks as if the country would again be ruled by the south.-Phiadelphia New.

Notwithstanding the fact that the government has about S,5,ooo for the purchase of cavalry horses in this terri tory and is anxious to give preference for their purchase here, the board aP- pointed 10 inspect and purchase horses finds it difficult b secure them. They were in session two or 'h-ec days ai whipple and only succeeded m pur- chasing two horses From here they wen. to Flagstaff, in this county, and met with better success, having pur- chased eleven horses. The failure io purchase, certainly does not arse from the fact tha, the horses are not in the country. as We have assurances tha' there are plenty of horses which wili stand the test Of an army board. But horsc raisers do not seem ;o take ir- terest enough to bring such horses in as vii meet the requirements Of the cay a!-y service. Arizona ii horse and oa;'e rai.ing country ard If the govern men; can succeed in finding ! supply of horses here fo. service n fife souta- west, Il w,ll n future look to t, and horse raisers can always depend on finding good narke, n the army. From the experience, however. of off cccs it looks as !. thc government will give up IT despar and look elsewhere for cayci.y horses.

A Model Proclamation.

Of all the Thanksgiving proclamations issued by the executives of the different states and territories, and copies of which have been received at the state department at Washington, that of Chief Bushyhead. of the Cherokee Indian Ma tion, Is considered the most unique and original. It reads as follows:
 Executive Department, Cherokee
 Nation, l. T.
 To the Cherokee People:
 Let us again publicly confess and commemorate the good of the Great Spirit, by devoting one day in this year to thanksgiving in unison. It is a good custom, and should impress upon our minds truth that every one ought ts realize more and more and more, as the days and hours succeed each other in our short lives. That truth is, that everything we have comes from God; ard that everything is good and will be profitable to us, even as We regard and treat 1t, for the due observance of our duty to our common Father, and our brothers.
 Therefore, I, W. D. Bushyhead, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, do nov appoint Thursday, the s5th day of November, 1886, as a day of thanksgiving and praise throughout this nation, and recommend to all Chero- kees 10 ''keep' the said anniversary scberly, gladly, lovingly, as beits reas- onab,e and Christian people se to do. Should there be poor or unfortunate in any neighborhoed forget and neglect then, not. Our system of society and government will not allow of excessive and individual wealth, nor of its sure attendant - excessive poverty - for which lei US give special thanks, and hold fss, 10 that which is good.

. PestaI 0yStom FaIIure.

The special letter delivery system i'm augurated by the present federal admin istration has proved grand failure. It first went into effect in October, 1885, in all cities having population of 4,OOO or more. The experiment for the fret year demonstrated its failure ss limited to this class of cities. In October, 1886, it was extended to all postofices. Since going into effect, now nearly three months ago in Prescott there has been six such letters received st the postoffice here representing revenue to the gov ernment above tho regular two-cent postage required the princely sum of fogtyeight cents. One of these letters was addressed to gentleman here only temporary. and the requirements of the system calling forits immediate delivery Postmaster Marsh slowed it away care fully in his pocket and started out in search of the gentleman. He travelled the streets for three or four hours in . vain search after his man, who in the meantime had called at the postofice three or four times, being informed on the first visit he made of the arrival of the letter. xr. Narsh, however, finally found him and delivered the missive to him. Had the letter been sent as an ordinary letter it would have reached him within half an hour or less, whereas as it was it took three or four hours. The law provides for letters of thi kind being delivered within one mile of the postodice and allows eight cents for the delivery. To hire . messenger here to deliver one at the limit of mile would cost not less than twenty-five cents and probably fifty cents. In cities where mail is delivered by carriers there can be but little saving of time in the delivery of such letters % that, taking it all in all. the system is . failure.

,aA,. sus,uess TALK.

A prominent merchant of Prescott. on being informed . few days since. by a gentleman. who is in portion to know thst for the last few months several hun dsed dollars per day had been sent from Prescott for dry goods to California and the eastern states, complained of the injustice of the government sending eoods 1000 miles as cheap ss they did three. He also spoke of the import ance o( patronlzing home merchants as the ,ropes thing to build up . town. We fully and heartily agree with the sentiment expressed, but at the same time would call the attention of this same merchant to the feet that he is getting his printing done in the east and that the government sends it through the mail for him st just the same price that is charged for sending it shorter distance. Prescott has two daily and one weekly paper and three well-ap- psinted job offices. These offices dis tribute annually in Prescott not less than $ao,ooo to $ss,ooo. . large part of vhich ,s received from subscribers and from ether sources abroad. The money is all spent .ud put in circulation here, and yet there are business men who send abroad for all their pr,ndng who save probably from $so to $ss Psr year in the operation.
 The JouRxAL-MNRa. and vs believe the osher papess do as we'll. purchases all ies supplies in Prescott that can be procured here. It believes in patroniz- ing home instAations and should mer- chants and all ethe1s do the same thing our tswn would bs more prosperous. With railroad communication and cheaper transportation our merchants should be able to sell goodS % that this enormous sum would not be sent of every month. The newspapers, which are working for the prosperity of the tevn and country, should be patronized and encouraged. It all our citizens would unite in pasronizins home instisu- ,ions entirely the community would be aore prosperous and the small pittance ssved by sending abroad for titles would be more than returned to each individual during the year.
