 The only argument Dr. Mahoney's defenders can offer in his favor IS to traduce the members of the board of directors, who fired him from the posi- tion as superintendent.
 The Peoria Transcript says "Judge Gresham" says a democratic exchange, 'cannot carry a single southern state. " We'll, no; we suppose not. General Gresham never did run we'll down south.
 We are pleased to see our contempo- rary endorse our proposition to furnish mail facilities to Copper Basin This IS as it should be. Local papers should work harmoniously for the advancement of their secticn.
 Dr. A. T. Noon, an old Ca!ifornla friend of the editor of this paper. IS re- ported to have made big strike at Gro Blanco. We congratulate the doctor on his success, as we know of no one more deserving of 1t.
 New York is solid for Depew; Michi- gan for Alger Indiana for Harrison Ohio for Sherman Kansas wants Ingalls, and Blaine will be the nominee of the party. That is about the way the politi- cal outlook is at present.
 The Alger boom. as reported in Mich igan papers. looks very formidable. When it is considered, however, that out of S2a delegates, he has only twenty four. it don't look so big. Like many AL:---.h,s -hnon, -lonkc hiG on paper.
 The Globe Democrat says the Alger boom IS composed of cheek and poodle in equal parts. It is scarcely funny enough to laugh at, and scarcely big enough to be disturbed about. It has, however, on its side the constitutional right of every American citizen to be candidate for the presidency.
 Congress has wisely decided to shut the wind of the tariff bill on Saturday and take vote. It is safe to say that all the oratory devoted to the discussion of this bill has been a waste of time and pure waste of wind as every member of congress has his mind made up how he intended to vote, before the bill was even read.
 We are in receipt of a small folder from an individual who signs himself Rev. Prof E.. James, San Francisco. in which the startling prophecy IS made that war bloody war will ensue within two years or four years at the most. A perusal of the little document convinces us that Rev. Prof. 'Jim" IS very badly de- ranged and needs to be looked after.
 Andy Hamilton, the colored jockey of Mir. Haggin, gets salary of $5,ooo per year. In addition to this Jack Morris sey, of Denver, has ''second call" on his services that is, on days when he is not engaged to ride for Haggin he is free to make one of Morissey's mounts. For this MorrSsey pays him $a5 for each mount and $sso in case he wins. Who would not be horse jockey or ball tosser.
 Some of our exchanges are contend ing for the empty honor of having first advocated home rule for the territories. That doctrine is as old as the territories and as the editor of this paper was not born at the time of their organ ization he declines to enter into the con. est. The question resolves itself down as to which of the numerous contestants for the honor IS the oldest. We are young man yet.
 Dr. Schufeldt will be tried next Tuesday at Fort Wingate. N. M., on a :harge of some kind with a view of getting him out of the army. An inves- 'estigation was recently held as to his conduct by board, to the members of which the doctor admitted that he had | neglected his practice to pursue the study of scientific subjects. He thought his mind was overworked and the mem- ,ers of the board were inclined to agree vi,h him. He will probably be relieved rom duty.
