 The rivalry existing between St. Paul and Minneapolis is as active as ever. The latter city having been selected for holding the national re- publican convention next year, St. Paul is now bending her energies to secure the democratic convention.
 A communication in this issue,
 from the pen of pr. J. E. Wharton,
 ofPhenix, in regard to the new con
 stitution, is to the point. The doc tor deals with the question of "prop- ertyin water" as provided by this
 instrument, in a very sensible man. ner.
 Great consternation was caused among patrons of Chicago restaur- ants, boarding houses and retailers who deal in cheap meat recently by the arrest of George Youngclaus on a charge ofselling horseHesh ::lsbeled ''beef," to such institutions. It is believed that the traffic in horsefesh in that city amounts to many thous- ands of dollars.
 "Free postal delivery will be granted Albuquerque, New Mexico, on New Year next, with one mounted carrier and another on foot. After that city, in the order of size and other conditions justifying such mail facilities should be Phenix and we hereby apply for free delivery ac- cordingly." So argueth the Phenix Herald. New Mexico's delegate to congress generally succeeds in get ting everything he asks for. Ari- zona's delegate either never asks for anything or if he asks he invariably gets left as Arizona has received nothing through his influence.
 Senor Peixotto, the new president of Brazil, has issued a conciliatory manifesto to his people in which he altogether abandons the arbitrary and dictatorial authority assumed by Da Fonseca, and declares that the legal order of affairs is re-estab- lished. As consequence of this general statement the manifesto an nounces that the dissolution of con- gress decreed by Da Fonseca is an nulled and the state of siege in the federal district raised. The mani festo summons congress to re-as- semble December 18th and resume its functions. Peixotto will prob ably bring order out of the threat ened chaos occasioned by his pre- decessor's actions.
 Dr. Hughes, of the Phenix Ga zette, pursuing the same buldozing tactics that has characterized that paper ever since the framing of the new constitution, issues the follow ing ominous manifesto in a recent | issue of his paper: "If the consti- tuition should be defeated We would think it our duty to oppose the use- less expense of an appropriation for . worlds fair exhibit" One would | think from reading the above that Dr. Hughes was to Arizona what Fouseca attempted to be in Brazil, but failed-dictator. It would be really too bad if the doctor were to turn himself loose entirely, and give his mammoth brain free and unlimited scope against worlds fair exhibit. Now, dear doctor, don't do anything so horribly horri- ble as this. We know, doctor, that if you only say so, there will be no and no exhibit from Arizona, so please don't.
 California papers have recently given sensational accounts of the correspondence which wealthy man of family named Smith has carried on with Georgia girl. Smith rep resented himself as a single man. A recent telegram from Atlanta says in regard to tbe affair: California may have genuine southern tragedy on her hands, if to-night's rumors Ire correct. Miss Hattie Bellah, whose affections were so roughly reated by the aged Mir. Smith, has a pig brother. This big brother is a nan of determination, with a record IS an accurate shot. It was not until that he was let into the whole secret of the love-making in which his sister had been engaged. To-day: he announced that MT. Smiths life was the only forfeit that would settle this affair. He had an attended consultation with his riends to-day Ha laff fh;s c;tv fn |
