The Editor Evinces An Interest I'm Politics
and In some Other Matters
IT rs TRUE.-A TUCSON paper announces that
We are laying wires to be elected 70 the mex,
Legislature, and wonders when our ambition
VIII be satisfied Yes, 1t is true that we are do
ing some preparatory work in the direction re-
ferred to, and well bet our running mule
against tsckass rabbit that we git thar" with
both feet when the time comes The change in us
since we struck this town three wears ago is per-
fectly amazing. Then we'd have been over
joyed to shovel sand at a dollar day, and we
had no ambition and no nerve. As we began 20
climb our ambition began 70 canter alongside
and at the present date we'd feel perfectly at
home in the White House. We shall take a
whirl at the legislature probably as senator.
simply TO get the sand out OF our hair for the
governorship. We feel that We have a call in
that direction We are not exactly like other
editors in this glorious section of the country
We are not hampered bv native modesfy nor
chained down by difiidence. When we feel our
ambition surging TO burst its bounds we let her
loose with yell and bring up a peg OF two
higher.
RATHER ENBARRAssrya.-On calling at the
residence of Widow Jenner the other evening.
as we had been invited to do, we found eleven
men IN the house and three on the doorsteps
All single and all there 20 court her with
view to matrimony. The widow il neither
handsome nor rich. but at least twenty men
! are ready and anxious TO wed her. While we
are not one of the crowd il still makes il rather
embarrassing for us TO call nd find So many
lovesick people lollypopping about.
We again call the attention of eastern women
to the greet and pressing need of this section.
We want wives. We want EN- badly. This
county alone would cheerfullv embrace 100
manageable females and make wives of 'enl
within two DAYS. We don't ask for heiresses
nor beauties We don I bar the redheaded nor
crosseyed, and We shant be too particular
about age, though perhaps none over fifty
should come. To settle up this great territory
| there must be at least $4,000 more homes.
] They can't be made without wives The sec
non OF country immediately around this town
Is now given up TO the coyote the jackaEs rab-
bit0nd the cactus, but if 400 women we're q
pour In here tomorrow to become brides nc
man would know the country a year hence
| We believe that public meeting should be
called TO take action in tine matter aud the

any fund which may be established in connec.
ton with the project.
SUDDEN DE.TH.-Sundsy evening. while We
were at church and in our place a. leader o,
the choir. Joe Small. the half-breed whose
tricky characteristics have won him very un

out our running mule and headed for the Littls
Colorado river, where he is said to have rela.

matte and state news and acts as foreman o
the composing room. happened to see Joe a,
he rode away. Instead of coming 10 ehurcl
and calling us out and breaking up the singing
he sent word around to a few of the BOYS. and
In the course OF twenty minutes party of q

trail. He could have kept ahead of the crowd
If he hadn't tried a short cut. Our mule bucked

We here take occasion TO thank the gentlemen
who so nobly and promptly responded to the
