day in the Prescott land office, but Col. Bevans Is not disheartened and says he has over thirty cases for can- cellation yet.
 Wonder what Monopolist Wm. L. Scott thinks of the following from re-
 cent speech of Speaker Carlisle :: Democracy makes no war on capital
 but it denounces monopolies and con-
 bic ations as gross and dangerous viola lions of the law of trade and the Tights of
 the people"
 When Cleveland's free trade doctrine obtains m this country, the ''trusts" will
 be transferred from American to English soil. The cheap clothing, blankets, etc.,
 promised :o the people of this country
 will be found to have been myths, as the
 factories once closed on American seiI
 will enable English manufacturers to fix prices to sult their own wills. We are in receipt of circular from
 E. s. Clark, announcing that on Friday,
 July a7th, and on every Friday there after, he will publish a paper Tn Flag staff. to be known as the Yavapai Demo
 crat, which he intends shall be the expo
 nent of democratic principles in this county We wish MT. Clark success in
 his enterprise.
 Do the Prescott democrats and their organ maintain that "all anti-C Chinese demonstrations in this country arise from a race prejudice" and that "they endanger our commercial relations with China" This is what Cleveland said in 1885, and we are led to understand that all hls utterances are orthodox and profitable for doctrine, not excepting his vetoes.
 Mark A. Smith has at last succeeded in making a record. IL cannot here after be said tsat he has done nothing Tn congress. for he has done something. He has secured an increase of one or two trips a week in the mail service between Verde and Globe. Let the convention be now called and Mark renominated by exclamation on this record
 Our enthusiastic democratic exchanges, which have so much to say about Har- rson being triend of the Chinese, are silent as the grave m reference to Secre- tary Bayard's having recalled Consul Mosby from China because the latter would not, in violation of law, issue con sular certificates to Chinese to enable them to come to the United States. Colonel Mosby publishes an open letter to Secretary Bayard, in the San Francisco papers, which shows the administration up in its true Chinese-loving light.
 Speaking of the little tilt between Blair and Butler, which occurred re- gently in congress and in which the latter failed in an attempt to intimidate the former, the Chicago Inter-Ocean says I've have had twenty-five years of decency in legislative debate and shall not now permit southern ruralists to eructate their oniony chyle all over the floors of congress. Senator Blair's notice to Butler was peremptory; the de- cencies of debate must be observed or punishmentinficted on him who violates them.
 Col. Bevans desires it to be under stood that the register and receiver of the land office do not constitute judi cial tribunal, and even goes so far as to intimate that their opinion in cases tried before them is not of much weight. It is true that the testimony taken before them has to go to the general land office to be passed upon, but it is safe asser- lion to make that their opinion will be sustained in the case of the government. ex rel. its special agent, vs. George E. Brown. Some people never do seem to "catch on" when they get left
 The man who has any right to expect the united support of any political or ganization mnst be consistent worker for his party Pandering to both sides, straddling the fence will never do. Pat tirg democrats on the back and always trying to ride the top wave regardless of and political affinities, will 1 earn for any alleged republican the con- tempt of the party. A man who adopts | such policy may be compared to an over trained fighter; he is an over political | politician and although he may succeed his success will be short | lived and he will soon find himself with | out friend on either side. If he IS not | over political he is cowardly and fears of lending somebody; in either case he is failure.
