GOOD BYE DEAR,

The dear little railroad which the Copper Queen company proposes to build and wear as watch charm, will not permit poor old decrepit Tombstone to bask in the sunlight of its steel railed smile. In the palmy days of yore it was the want of Tombstone to gracefully throw her silver serape-sparkling with diamonds-around her comedy shoulders and smile rather disdainfully upon her struggling copper colored sister in the classic Mules. But that day is past. The whirlagig of time makes all things even. Silver has depreciated, dividends are sweet lingering memory of the past. Copper has risen and the once dispised Cinderella gives Tombstone a lusty 20 power kick with her copper programs and bids her seek the quiet seclusion which an anti-railroad town grants. Tombstone humbly bows her aged head in meek submission to the omnipotent power ot capital, and as she falls to sleep gently murmurs, "Da6it dses lis gnogne fn<ni."

THE GREAT RACE.

The democratic party have entered taelr double team for the great presi- dential sweeps ake-lhe grandest prize offered by the American people-and are calmly awaiting the entering of the re- publican party. The latter have so many gallant studs, so many with brilliant re- cords, who amid shouts of exultati ,n have carried their colors to victory in many desperate struggle, that to select for so important a contest requires rare judgment and careful deliberation. Their ablest judges and most experienced trainers are daily watching with anxious, critical eyes, the preliminary canter, and as each passed in review his good as we'll as his weak points are noted and commented upon. For two days this examination has progressed, and while some have been withdrawn as unavail- able, yet no decision has been announced to the American people who await the verdict with unabated interest. The selection may be made to-day, yet is is hardly probable. The republican con- vention of 1876 was called to order June 2d and did not make selection until the 7th. Hayes was selected on the seventh ballot. The convention of 1880 met June 2d and did not select until the
  9th, while that of 1884 meeting on June 2d did not arrive at decision until the 7th. So it may be delayed for several days yet. In the meantime we present to our readers the names of those from whom the selection will be made and the number of good points accorded to each. s... ..

If newspaper men were "up to snuff

lfnewspaper If men were up to snuff like doctors and dentists, they would get up "code of ethics" by which not a mention of a mans business would be permissible without its equivalent in cash. The columns of newspaper are the stock in trade of their proprietor, and when they are given away. just so much solid cash is given out of the proprietor's pocket. Men who would scorn to ask a cent of an editor, will complacently ask a man for what is just the same-free ad- vertising. And for this state of affairs editors are largely to blame themselves. They need reform in this respect, and need it bad.-Ex.

The story of Scott, the defaulting teller of the Manhattan Bank, is one of the most remarkable in the history of crime. Here was bank teller who had stolen SIo,ooo. He went to his lawyer for advice as to how to get out of the scrape. The lawyer advised him to abscond with more money, enough to make it an object to the bank to compromise. Scott there. upon stole SI5o,ooo. and left for Canada, but he gave the money to his lawyer to keep, and he still keeps it.

The New York Graphic pays the fol- lowing deserved compliment to an eff cient and popular Arizona official Lowell H. Jersme is at the Hoffman House, and the bronzed, bearded and stalwart young fellow looked very little like the gay society man who once was so prominent and admired a figure in social circles here. He is the son of Lawrence Jerome, and has been special agent of the Treasury for the last three years. His headquarters are at Tucson, Tn Arizona, and he has charge of all the Rio Grande frontier from Brownsville to Fl Paso. The years are resting lightly on Lowell, and the semi-solitude of the Texas and Arizona country has not dimmed his eyes nor added gleam of silver to his hair. He has woL an ex- cellent reputation as an efficient and thoroughly capable official, but then that is not surprising, tor Mr. Jerome is a man of education, culture and refine ment far above the ordinary officeholder. Besides, he has knowledge of the world and an experience in its ways that have stood him in good stead in his new place and have made him popular with all who come in contact with him.
