Four vo,rs of . democratic Com.

NJ. Smith by this time that they all take the cake.
 A Washington dispatch of the 10th says that, "the House Public Buildings Committee has ordered a favorable report on bills, making the following appropriations for public buildings: Boise City, Idaho, Sl00,000; Helena, Montana, Sl50,- 0O0." Arizona, as usual, is mot n nit."
 1t is estimated that Yavapai will poll the heaviest vote next Novem- Der ever recorded in the history of any county in the territory. This prediction is based on the fact that at least two railroad gangs will be in the county at that time, aggre- gating ia numbers at least 5000 votes.
 From the vast amount of silver bullion daily leaving this coun- try for Europe, a probable but temporary advance in the white metal may be put down as certain to occur soon, when foreign specu- lators will reap the benefits of a raise.
 Since it seems to be a settled fact that our two railroad propositions have settled down to tug of war to the knife, ill a commercial sense. can we not expect in consequence a similar state of hostility in local political sense also, next November at the polls, when two large rail road outfits will undoubtedly be working in Yavapai'
 A fair and impartial canvass among republicans in northern Ari- zona shows that Hon. NJ. w. Stew art, of Wilcox, holds firm hand in second choice for the Minneapolis convention. With Murphy and Stewart the north and south will be fttingly and handsomely looked after.
 Arizona has been given little notoriety in the east by the resem- blance in financial expression and cut of the jib our Mark beats toward Senator Hill. If Hill is nominated in June, the democrats of Arizona will, from habit, follow their leader and put Smith on the tail end of democratic ticket.
 The democrats are preparing to drop Mark Smith. Even they are growing weary of his masterly in- activity. The Mohave Miner says a northern Arizona man must be elected. That does not mean Mar GUS. The Phenix Gezette says it has no candidate. That means, let go MT. Smith"
 Since it is settled that Arizona cannot become a State, outside of the sentiment manifested in each party little or no interest will be taken in national politics. But in county affairs the wires and combi- nations are already being pulled and to certain extent perfected. The railroad vote will again figure in the political horizon, and in short the sharpest and keenest combat old Yavapai has ever witnessed will take place this fall.
 Mark Smith wants the people of Arizona to return him to Congress again this year. He does not state on what grounds he claims this honor again. Mark evidently does not believe in the principle laid down by Lincoln, that 'you can fool all the people sometimes, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time" MT. Smith has succeeded in fooling majority of the voters of Arizona three times, and evidently thinks that he can do so again.
 The telegraph announces the sui eide, in Phenix, of T. H. Seelig, prominent citizen of that place Seelig was arrested, it is alleged, charged with embedding funds be- longing to the Knights of Pythias. It has only been a few days since two men connected with banking institutions in different parts of the country committed suicide from the same cause. It should prove a warming to all who handle funds of others, to be faithful to their trust. An old proverb says: 'Be sure your sin will find you out"
 The Tucson Star says: Delegate Mark Smith is making good rec ord this session. He is accomplish ing more effective work for the ter ritory than ever before. This is one result of training a man in congress sional work by keeping him in the | business year after year." Will the Star have the kindness to enlight- en Marks constituency in regard to what he has really accomplished in Do not give what he claims to have done, but the actual results obtained by him. It will not require very great amount of the valuable space of the paper to do this, and would be read with in- terest by the people of Arizona.
