The merchandise markets are IN
= healthy and promising condition,
though there is now no marked
activity. The demand for dry goods
is excellent, particularly in antici-
patton of spring needs. Print cloth
are strong, with advancing tenden-
cy. For iron the demand is less
urgent than it has been sometimes
in the last few weeks, but the pur-
chases Of steel rails are large. There
has been a considerable increase in
the production of iron, and the
stocks of important classes are
larger than they were a year ago.
The demand for flour is better. As
FOR wheat, the bulls have had a long
and hard road to travel, which has
Il good deal of the time led directly
away from home, but it is sill
probable that we shall see very
much higher prices for the article
during the spring months.

and two in Wisconsin. In the Eleventh dis
trict of Indiana the Republican plurality
was but "a /; in no other was itless than hun
dred. On the other hand there were twenty
four districts carried by the Democrats by
less than 900 plurality; three in Illinois;
three in Iowa; two in Michigan; FIVE in
Ohio; and one in each of California, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva
mia, Tennessee Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. In the First and Sixth districts
of Iowa, the Second district of Michigan and
the Third district of Tennessee the Demo-
Gratis were elected by majorities under hun
bred in each case. In but five of the twenty
four districts did the majorities exceed 800
votes.
With so many doubtful Democratic dis
tricts, with the memories Of theincompetence
of the Democratic majority in the present
House, with the jealousies and hostilities ex-
cited by the peculiar method by which this
administration has distributed its patronage,
and in general with the total failure OF the
Democratic to party fulflany of the promises
by which it came into power, the outlook for
Republican success is better than for long
time. If good men are put up and heartily
supported. the Republicans ought to control
the next House and the Congress.

Will be necessary for them to carry twenty
two more districts than they control at pres

they may lose some districts which they now

the Republicans elected received less than
than 900 votes over his Democratic competi-

The Democratic convention in the Fourth
Massachusetts district has so far held four
sessions and taken nearly three hundred bal
lots for candidate for Congress to succeed
the Hon. Patrick Collins. There are three
aspirants for the honor-John B. Martin, Jo-
seph 0'Neil and T. j. Daces-and their
strength in the convention, from its first ses-
sion to the present time, has been about even
and the supporters Of each have stuck with q
fidelity that apparently knows no variable
ness or shadow of turning, or at least has
shown none up to the present time. An at
tempt was made it the last session to unite
the conflicting interests on the Hon. Patrick
Collins, who had agreed to accept if the NOM
ination came to him unanimously, but it
would not work. 1t is perhaps among the
possibilities that this fight may give the dis
trict which is Democratic stronghold, to
the Republicans.

Irving Hall has endorsed Henry George.
Irving Hall, though small and with little po-
litical influence, is, like Tammany Hall and
the County Democracy, one of the factions
into which the great Democratic party of the
city of New York is divided. This year the
prospects of Georges campaign caused the
Democrats to unite ON a single ticket; but
Irving Hall, by some oversight or intention,
got no place on thislticket; and.resents the
slight, This means about two thousand
votes for Mr.. George, which is equivalent to
as many votes for Theodore Roosevelt, the
Republican nominee.

first entered that body in 1866 to serve out

so long period in the Senate, and but one

An Enormous Horde.

There are 25o,ooo Chinamen in Cali fornia, one-third of whom are located in San Francisco. Ne wonder the good people of the Pacific coast are becoming incensed at this Mongolian horde, whose internal devices known only to themselves, are gradually creating star. vaton and ruin in the homes of thou, sands of the laborers ofthat overburdened state. Relief must come through some channel as the American laborer cannot compete with the almond-eye Celestial, hence if the latter is employed the former must succumb to the inevitable.

The Florence canal at length promises to become fact. A majority of the stock has been taken by Messrs. Hurley Thomas and Pinney, representing a Carthage, Mo-, syndicate. Bids are called for the construction of five miles of the canal and it is asserted that fifteen miles will be finished this year. MT Hurley says that, by next spring, 2 thousand Missouri families, each pos sessed of means, will be located on the lands reclaimed, and they will go exten' sively into the business of fruit and grape culture. The construction of this cana will mark an important era in the for ward march of Arizona as an agricultural and horticultural country.

County Courts.

Sheriff Hatch has received from the United States supreme court at Wash. ington, the papers in the habeas corpus case of Walsh F. Lathrop, ordering him to show cause why writ of habeas cor pus should not issue. The date for hearing is set for the first Monday Tn April. As will be remembered, this is an appeal taken by the prisoners attorney, Judge Stilwell, to test the constitu- tionality of the county cours. Similar suits now pending before the supreme court of the territory, at Tucson, will probably he held in abeyance until the decision of the Uaited States supreme court in this case is rendered.
 It is interesting to know that there was a test case, as to the constitutionality of county courts, in Florida, when that state was territory. The suit was decided in favor of the county courts. What makes this case more applicable, is the fact that the organic act of Florida, in it's refer ence to courts, is similar to that of Ariz- ona, with the difference that it excepts the creation of courts, having jurisdiction over trials for murders, which exceptions is not made by the organic act of Ariz- ona. This case may be found in "Peters Reports" page 5II ct seq.

In recent issue of the Los Angeles Express, five columns are devoted to a description of the mining camp of Calico in San Bernardino county, California, which appears, from the report, to be in a Aourishing condition. The total amount of bullion shipped in I8S4-s, by the four leading companies, was 32,6So,- 900. The population of the camp is from 1000 to I,2oo. Miners receive S3.5o a day. Bonds have been voted for a $3o,- 900 school house. The ore is rich and easy to work. Milling facilities have been so improved, that ores, which as- say from SIS to $2o, can now be worked proftably by large companies.

There are abou. eighty men employed in and about the smelters at Charleston and the removal of those laborers from this flourishing little burg would most certainly in measure work an injury to it's business. Outside of the trade from this source it has always enjoyed a liberal Sonora trade, it being the nearest point to the Mexican borders. With its largely increasing trade with Mexico and its growing cattle interest which is aid ing substantially the growth and per manency of the town, the removal of the shelter need not cause our neighbors on the San Pedro unnecessary uneasiness.

The Washing Problem Solved

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done. The force of this argument has been re- moved by modern invention-the "Lit- tie Joker" washing machine. This ma chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or weakly woman, can work it.

It is not very many years since the lowest price asked for anything in Ari- zona was two bits. Drinks were sold everywhere in the territory at that price, but railroads have wrought a grea, change. The Pinal saloons announce that after March Ist they will sell drinks at one bit. Pinal is probably the last place in Arizona that has kept up the old two-bit rate.
