Arizona republican., 1890-06-01

Or the touch of a hand-you understand
 Pm getting on, guess.
 ON THE CURBSTONE.
 WITHIN a few weeks, have seen a number of bets made that work on the North and South railroad will be begun within two months. Mir. Gang has a dozen bottles of beer on that proposition and A K. Rosenthal bottle of cham pagne. What will the editor of TIE REPUBLICANd do with all that liquor when he wins it?
 CAN prisoner gain legal residence in the location of the jail in which he is incarcerated? If he can, then Arizona is an exception to the requirement. that citizenship can be acquired only by vol untary residence. Yet, I am told that at the last city election in Phoenix, a prisoner in the county jail was taken were two such cases and that both of the convicts, naturally, perhaps, voted the Democratic ticket.
 
 BuTTERMILK is served in the city fresh every day. There is no more whole. some drink, and it is said to be especi. ally beneficial in rheumatism and kid ney troubles. It is cooling and thirst. quenching, ,and am not surprised to learn that my friend, Buttermilk'' Moffitt-is driving big trade in it. His product cannot be beat, always being fresh and clean.
 LAM glad to see that TIE REPUBLICAN has called attention to the necessity of a boulevard, or speed track, where the owners of fast nags might have chance to show what their roadsters can do. ton for such purposes at a small cost and so could Center street. Either would be acceptable, the latter, perhaps, the more so, being easier of access. It wouldn't cost much to keep such street rolled und sprinkled and 'twould be a pleasant feature of the town.
 
 THE makeup of Billy Crane in "Tbe Senator" his charming and successful play, is exceedingly clever. You haven't seen it? Then you have missed something worth seeing. But to return to Crane and his makeup I questioned him once as to who suggested it, and he said "No one; it is entirely fanciful, I first made up." Nevertheless, it is so very like Congressman Carter, of Mon- tana, who is subdued edition of Brother Jonathan," the symbol for Uucle Sam, that every one noticed it when the play was presented in Washington, and that there might be no cause for feeling on the subject MT. Crane really made some slight changes so that the likeness might not be so strong.
 JEFF CHANDLER, who is now raising political ruction in Missouri by his can didacy for the United States Senate, was one of the counsel for the staI route robbers. In that capacity he came to Arizona and spent some months here. He was not favorably impressed with the country, the accommodations in those days being very primitive and un- satisfactory. At Maricopa, which station he reached by stage from the north, a friend then doing business there rendered the great lawyer the use of his rooms. On coming out Chandler said : "Well, I am d-d if I haven't found something in Arizona like, finally"
 What's that?" asked Mir. Stearns :; who is the gentleman who entertained the lawyer.
 'Why that Pears soap in your room" :" The sarcasm was acknowledged and soon MT. Chandler admitted that he liked the boquet of the whisky, also.
 THE willy Chinese can accomodate him self to any surrounding in which he may find himself. Ihave seen him do almost everything, but it remained until the other day for me to see the heather mix cocktails in Phenix saloon. And he appeared to be doing it well, too.
 "I can get up earlier than the worms needed in my business," said fisher- man to me few evenings ago, "but I'll be gormed if can find out when your carrier boy comes with THE REPUBLICAN. He must camp with it in the yard over night. But 1 like the paper and must have it, if am only lone fisherman. :" At another social extreme stands a well preserved man of affairs, accus- toned to the luxuries of more populous districts. ''I get up, in my pajanias, !" explained he, "while Old Sol is making up his mind whether to climb heaven ward that day. In the cool, blue grass l find my morning REPUBLICAN packed full of the worlds news and alive with all our local happenings, spicily tricked out in the most approved journalistic fashion. Then take my plate of straw berries and cream, sip some Mocha with more cream, and then assure you that |! am cock-of-the-walk, with spurs ready for the first opposer."
 The REPUBLICAN is truly tonic. It braces the poor mans nerve and excites visions of new beauty to the erstwhile surfeited cosmopolitan.
