o1 the Homestead strikers shows
 the influence which Protected Lord
 Carnegie has lover the officials and judiciary of the State of Pennsvl-
 vsnia." As several of the Carnegie officials have been indicted for mur- der in connection with the affair, it
 looks as though their influence was not so great after all.
 Mickey" Stewart is hooted by
 democratic papers because he has
 been a COW boy. J. A. Marshall is
 rldiculed for being a blacksmith. ."-
 Phenix Republican. Democrats in Yavapai county are also inclined to ridicule certain candi-
 dates on the republican ticket be-
 cause they do not belong to the aristocracy. And this, too, from the party who claims to be the friend of the poor man, the friend of the
 mechanic, the enemy of monopo-
 lists and of aristocracy. Oh, con
 sisteney. we are again compelled to repeat that thou art not to be found
 in the democratic party.
 The individual who signs himself Republican Taxpayer" has another communication in our contemporary this morning. It consists principally of B repitition of the falsehoods made ia his first screed in regard to the alleged pledges of the republi- can candidates for supervisors. It is fact we'll known to the people of this county that no pledges were either made or asked for by the republican convention. It is also a fact that lying and misrepresents- ton of candidates does them more good than harm, and if Mir. "Repub- lican Taxpayer" will only keep up his tactics until election, he will aid in swelling the majority for the re- publican candidates for supervisors, provided he continues to withhold his name from his libelous screeds.
 Mark Smith told the Jerome miners that it would not be safe to the territory to send new man to congress now, as the foundation for work which he hal laid would be useless. A new man could not build OF it. Well, the latter proposition Is correct. A new man would find 1t difficult to build on Marks founda- tion. In the first place it would be difficult to find it, and in the next place if he succeeded with the aid of powerful magnyfying glass in finding it he would find that it was too small to build on. It would not take W. G. Stewart long to tear up the entire structure and lay a foundation for work for the terri tory that would prove of benefit to it. If Stewart is elected and does not do more for the territory in one term of congress than Mark Smith has in three terms, he should be elected to stay at home two years from now.
 The attempt of certain democrats to defeat F. G. Brecht for treasurer by ridiculing him as only black smith will certainly make votes for him. It is true that Mir. Brecht is a blacksmith. He is good one, too. He has demonstrated also during his residence of nearly a score of years in Prescott that he is capable of successfully managing his busi- ness. He has always paid 100 cents on the dollar for every obligation he has contracted. He has accum- ulated sufficient property to provide a home for himself and family. It is not on any military reservation either, but is subject otaxation and the taxes are paid regularly on it. A man, even though he be black smith, who has achieved success in his private affairs can be safely en- trusted with the duties and respon- abilities of official position. There is one tralt that Fred Brecht pos sesses and that is honesty. If he is elected treasurer of this county tax payers need have no fear of the hon est accounting for every dollar re- ceived by him.
 It is amusing to see the democracy try to squirm away from W. G. challenge to Mark Smith for a joint discussion. The chal- lenge was originally made by MT. Stewart personally to Mir. Smith in person at Flagstaff before the latter had arranged a date for a single It was not accepted. The was then renewed by T. J. chairman of the territorial committee, on behalf of MT. Stewart and after lapse of ten days was accepted by chairman Parker of the democratic committee. Knowing that MT. Stewart had spoken at Tucson and Nogales, Parker named those places md giving dates when he knew Mir. Stewart would be due in the north ,rn part of the territory and it would be impossible for him to ac- .ept. Chairman Wolfley then at empted a compromise naming ohenix as the place of the joint meeting and the date the same that lark Smith was advertised to peak there. This looks to any one ike fair proposition, as fair as ould be made, but up to date it has | lot been accepted. When it comes O joint discussions democracy 1 eems inclined to play the role of quirmers. Assertions made by the m vhen uncontradicted are often ac-
