The Chinese seem to toe all at sea on the sea. Just like several demo cratic war horses in Yavapai politics.
 A few years ago the "red bandana' was the war cry. This year 1t will possibly be in local politics "the govt blanket"
 It is now definitely settled that Mark Smith is ont of the race fo delegate. E. J. Edwards of Phenix,. will be the democratic nominee.
 A political census should be taken of probable candidates for office in Yavapai county. We would be the banner county in Arizona in popula- tion, in consequence.
 Business is fourishing under .he new tariff Did anybody read the textile" dispatch m our contemp this morning from New Bedford, Mass! Free Wool, eh!
 It is said that several rural dele gates coming to the democratic county convention who are loaded for rural soft-soopers of their party. But we've heard this before.
 The silver issue is being revived in connection with Arizona's admis- sion by the senate. Dynamite some times is very quieting and at the same time solacing commodity if properly used.
 "What are democratic principles" asks a headline in an exchange. That is a question that cannot be answered by the smartest man living. What doesn't exist can not be defined
 The days of staging it are fast disappearing in this section, and on the completion of the new road to Phenix and the Jerome road, there will be but few camps that will afford this old time custom.
 The irrigation clause in our state constitution seems to be leading obstacle against Arizona's admission being guaranteed by the Senate. It is too much of a cinch against prob able water monopolists, and should have been properly sugar coated before it was set on the senatorial table.
 The democratic party with refer ence to the Chicago platform is like the Irishman nominated for office in an Indiana county on a similar platform. In making his first speech he left his party prin- ciples and took up the issues of the opposition, upon being reprimanded he said: "D-d the platform, aplat- form is one of those things you use in getting on train, but after you are on you leave the d-d thing behind"
 The laboring men are thinkers, and they have had several years for profound reflection. You may fool them once by promising them big wages, and a dollar a bushel for wheat, to get their votes, but a failure to carry out such promises, and threatened reduction in their earnings, makes them desperate, and as they sit and ponder over their wrongs they become desperate and resolve to get even with their tra- ducers. Look out for the working mans vote this fall!
 The official, and ministerial democrats" who were so elated over the reduction of blankets that they publicly proclaimed the same forgot or abstained from giving the full effect of the order received from the war department. While said order reported reduction in blankets yet the same order also reduced the pay of all civilians in the service of the war department. We trust they will take the stump this fall in the interest of their party and explain to the wool growers how this reduction in manufactured woolen goods will effect themi And to the laboring men how the Wilson bill will help them and their familiesl This is going to be long cold winteri
 A Pittsburg telegram says that ''the passage of the tariff bill has already made itself felt there by a marked revival of business. Stocks l in all lines of manufactures have been reduced to a minimum, especi- l -alIy-iEan. steel and glass. Large ! orders are being received by manu- factures and more are expected. It l is asserted that a slight reduction in wages will be necessary in the cases of glass workers, tin plate, men and workmen in some branches of the i-on and steel trade, but the scales generally allow for reductions to fit tariff changes" This tele- gram is particularly significant so far as it relates to reduction of wages to fit the tariff changes
 There is one consolation in the passage of the tariff bill, which on the theory that "it is an i'll wind which blows no one any good" is worthy of note, and that is the pros pect that business will adjust itself as best it can for three years at least. This will not mean, of course. that the new tauif is a good thing or that it was wise to have at tempted the reform of the Mckinley
