The leaders of the party real ize that defeat is inevitable unless coalitions or alliances can he formed outside of its own ranks.

 As devoted sentinel on Pres. cott's watch tower" the JOURNAL MINER published the news ofs the proposed abandonment of Whipple Barracks when that subject was uI for consideration by the war depart ment and at one time had been about decided upon. By doing so it caused the citizens of Prescott to exert all the influence at their command tO prevent its consummation, and their efforts happily proved successful
 When the war department recon sidered the proposition and an nounced that the post would not be abandoned at present and might possibly he enlarged, the JOURNAL. MINER published this good news. Sc it will be seen that it was not the paper that Topped but the flop oc- cured elsewhere.
 That the recent vicious and mali cious attacks of the Phenix Republi- can on Acting Governor Murphy have been prompted by personal malice is self evident to any one reading them. While it is true. that showing the animus of criticism does not answer charges made, in this case the charges made against the funding board in gen eral and Acting Governor Murphy in particular have been fully re- futed and shown to he totally false. It is unfortunate that the editor of a newspaper should allow his personal feelings to so far enter into his paper as to indulge in falsehood even against political enemy and more so when his personal malice and vicious spleen is vented on s polit ical friend, as we'll as man who has been his personal friend, as in this case.
 The election, to decide the ques- ton of issuing the bonds of this School district to the amount of Sl7.0O0, for the purpose of securing additional school facilities by the purchase of the City Hall, will take place on Monday, August 3d. The JouRNAL-MINER favors the proposi- tion, as the additional school facili- ties are imperatively needed, and the proposition is one which in re- ality costs the taxpayers nothing, but on the contrary will be saving to them. The new bonds will bear lower rate of interest than the city hall bonds. which will be redeemed by the money received from the sale of the new issue. Taxpayers or others who have anything to say on the proposition are rendered the use of the columns of the .IoURSA AL MINER for the purpose.
 This section of Arizona offers as good. if not better inducements, for the investment of capital than any other part of the United States. We'll developed mining properties, requiring the erection of machinery for the reduction of the ore can be had at prices that would prove highly remunerative to the purchasers. A few dividend paying mines can also 5e purchased at figures that their product would afford double or treble the interest that can be secured on capital in the east. The building of the north and south railroad will largely increase these opportunities for investment in mines while it will also open up opportunities for in- vestment in real estate. Capitalists are invited to come to Arizona and enjoy our superb climate for short time and investigate the opportuni- ties which the country affords for the wise and judicious investment of capital.
 The oyster is the latest subject or victim of scientific investigation The university of Pennsylvania is of the opinion that the bivalve has too long been neglected and some of its professors expect to prove before long that he, or she, or it, is just as intelligent and docile and amenable to training as a dog, a monkey or a parrot. In fact it is confidently be lieved that before the professors in question get through their expert ments they will have reduced the luscious bivalve to such a stage of intelligence and docility that it will be no unusual thing to see them fol low their owners around the streets just as does a dog. The marine laboratory If the university will go into active operation at Sea Isle City in few days under the direc- tion of pr. Dolley, with small host of assistants. They propose to put the oyster under the microscope and look into every nook and corner of his being, ascertain what he eats, on what he fourishes, how the female prepares beds for the reception of the young oysters, how long the oyster ,las i'm raininU full davalonnnant
