Mohammed aud the Mountain.-It has al
waps puzzled us to know why Mohammed
hesitated about going to the Mountain, ex-
pecting the Mountin to come to him. II
wouldn't have cost him cent to stay at the
Mountain as long as he wanted to. The
Mountain House would have been glad to
deadhsad him, giving him the best suite of
rooms they had. His arrival would have
been chronieled in the daily papers, people
would have focksd to the Mountain to see
him and he would have been big card. He
was sometimes called the ''false prophet"
house where he put up. We are satisfied
that in refusing to go to the Mountain Mo-
hammed, whose system needed bracing up,
anyhow, lost one of the greatest opportunities
of bis Hfe.-Texas Siftings.
1t Will be Very Quiet.-Our city election,
which takes place next Tuesday, will be
very quiet one, and the singular spectacle of
two tickets almost without candidates will
be presented. AS both tickets were made up
of ring candidates, We felt it Our duty to
publish, as far as we could secure 1t, . his
tory of each. Our biographies included thir-
teen out of the sixteen candidates, and the
publication was only three days old, when
NEST of them were hunting other localities.
They averaged all the way from murderers
down to barn-burners, and we are not likely
to be troubled with them again. What Is
left of the TIVE tickets are fairly clean and
honest. We are sorry We had to interfere,
and thus place the parties in such queer
fix, but We felt it q duty We owed to the
public.-Arizona Kicker, in Detroit Free
Press.
