Attempted RObEeries.

A special to the Prescott Courier from Phenlx, under date of Novem- Der 29th, says:
 Early this morning robber pre- sentcd two revolvers in the face oi the bartender of the Eclat saloon, and after ordering everybody pres ent to throw up their hands, he de- manded the contents of the safe but the bartender had fortunately just turned on the combination and was not able to open 1t. Tho would be robber then began back ing out holding his revolver full cock on the crowd. At the door he ran against two officers who were so dumbfounded at his de- mand to go inside, "tbat they obey ed the order, and after he had made hlS escape, ran alter hln.
 Already this evening two bold attempts have been made presum- ably by the same party. Young MT. Coon was held up near Lemon Hotel. Mrs. Hitler, wife of banker E. H.

People are greatly worked up over this condition of affairs, and the mayor has instructed the marshal to rid the town of all questionable characters.

ET MAY not be out of order for the gentlemen of our county, who have had bills found against them, by the recent United States grand jury at Prescott, on testimony given by Bevans and afidavits submitted by him, to find out who these affi- davit men are, and see if their land matters will stand investigation.
 These gentlemen will have no trouble in showing their claims to be in accordance with law, while some others who will be brought before the next United States grand jury may have some little trouble in explaining.
 Affidavits made before spiteful and narrow-minde1 land agent, by persons whose only motive is mal- ice and envy, and whose anxiety to wreak vengeance finds an assisting and helping hand on the part ot the Agent, simply to cause humil- jation and expense, is, in our opln- ion, a practice which sooner or la ter, will act as boomerang on those who perpetrate it. This is q poor way to fight an honorable op- ponent. You may cause the hu' initiation and expensf out you will cause nothing more and win noth- ing else.

A collection of postage stamps recently exhibited in Boston is said to be worth nearly $1O0,00O. There were in the collection single stamps valued at $100 each, and several groups of six were placed at one thousand dollars. That the prices were not all fancy was shown by the offer of $50 from a dealer for a blue envelope on which was small stamp marked Bremen. One group consisting of four Government stamped envelopes, now obsolete, was appraised at $100.

A new land bill to permit persons who have filed under prs-emption or homestead law, but who for some reason have failed to acquire title to lands, to again file under the homestead law. passed the senate, and with important amendments, was adopted by the House. The Senate will doubtless concur in the amendments, the first of which au- thorizes registers and receivers to grant leave of absence to any who have made entry and yho 'by req son of doubt, whole or partial de- struction of crops, sickness or any other unavoidable casualty" are un- able to secure support for himself or those dependent upon him, such absence not to exceed one year at any one time. The second amend
 
 ment provides that persons who haee made homestead entries for less thap one quarter section may make additional entry, to complete the quarter section, of land con= tiguous to that first filed upon, or in case he desires to mako an entire new entry he may do so by relin- quishing the original entry, and DO additional fees shall ba exacted for the second entry. The residence made on the original entry shall count as residence on the addition al or new entry in making final proof.

Senator German says of the re-
 publican success, '.the contest was fought out upon the line of policy laid down by the president in his message and blythe action of tho democratic majority in the house. The tariff issue was ever present throughout the campaign, and it seems as though the republicans have made the country believe we were committed to free trade and the people pronounced against it. Our position was grossly misrepre- sented, as our party has not at any time declared for free trade, but simply for 9 reduction of excessive taxation. But the catch-words of the canvass were all against us. We have gone down in contest entire " free of personalities, 2 fact upon which the country is to be congrat- ulated. % For the first two months of tho campaign most of the time was consumed trying to induce the influential democrats to forget their disappointments and enter heartily into the contest. Per son grievances were hard to over- com4sin some instances, and 1t was a didicult matter to arouse some of the most valuable werkersussBy thaa time these wore snppose4 to. hee overcome Gol Bsleee gaaiznlap afo the national committees had but three weeks left to devote to the op- position"

We wonder if 1t would not leave Mr. Hewitt in a more agreeable po- sition to have been nominated for thepresidency of the American par ty and to have been defeated, than to have been nominated for mayor of New York upon an indepen- ticket, and defeated by the coward ice and treaehery of Democrats who swapped him off te elect Grant the candidate for mayor of the Tam many Democracy? Had MT. Abram s. Hewitt allowed himselfto become the American candidate, for Presi= dent he would have received strong vote and would have laid the foundations of az American na- tional party that in time would have demonstrated formidable strength. He may now console himself with the reflection that he received four hundred a&d thirteen more votes thans his Republican opponent, elected the Tammany candidate for mayor, made Hill governor of New York by defeating Senator Miller, anu made General Harrison Presi- dent of 4he Upited States by aid of the Irish whisky vote of New York city,-Argonaut.

Mir. Gladstone has announced his determination to remain in public life until Ireland becomes an inde- pendent nation, with parliament of its own, and until its political grievances are fully disposed of. As Ireland has been in agitation for seven hundred years, and as the settlement of its difficulties with England involve the destruction of landlordism, which, being inter- preted, means the coniscation of all landed property and subjec- tion of one million eight hundred thousand intelligent, wealthy, and prosperous Protestants to the do- minion of the Romish priesthood and the sway of Irish politicians, and as Irish difficulties are not ap- parently any nearer adjustment than they were in the eleventh cen tury. it would seem that Mr. Glad stone is promising to himself a somewhat long public career.-Ar- gonaut.

I am Wt pleased with the efficient manner in which our cam paign has been carried on, and fl this proportion continues it will on ly be a few years when we will be in power. Cleveland was beaten in New York by the whisky interests, as was also Francis in St. Louis, In my opinion, the redublican will eith- CT adopt the democratic platform in their legislation or will assume an excessive protective policy. Tar if reform will ultimately win. l consider this election as adverse to prohibition; had the democrats continued in power prohibition would have been given a wider field. Mayor Francis closed the St. Louis saloons on Sunday, and by this act arrayed the whisky element against him in his race for governor in fact, the democracy has generally been more favorable toward temperance and prohibition. In my estimation Cleveland is the uncrowned king of American statesmen, and his name and conservative rule will live long in history"
