celebration, la Mardi Gras, during the second week in April, commenc- ing on April 10 and closing April I3. The programme, as published in the Los Angeles papers, is very interesting. Special rates will be given by the railroads to all who wish to attend.
 The so called industrial army is an outgrowth and of shoot of the populist party. The poor senti- mental fools and dupes, who are doing the trudging, have to do great skirmishing to get crackers and coffee to satiate their appetite. while the so called generals and colonels in command of them. fare sumptuously every day. That there will be great suffering on the part of the men composing this motley crowd, is self evident, and that no good can come from 1t is equally self evident. But what care the demagogues who are at the head of it for all this :
 Gen. Curtiss, of New York, is con fdent that the Republicans will carry the state of New York easily this fall. In St. Lawrence county. the General says, there are no politics at all this year. There is no work there anyway, but Demo crats are as hard to find there now as shad in the Penobscot. Concern ing a candidate for governor, Gen. Curtiss said that Mir. Morton would have a splendid chance, and that while he was always strong in the state he would be stronger than ever this year. But he added, "there are about one hundred others who would like to be candidates"
 The editor of the Chicago Ger man paper, owned by the new dem ocratic postmaster of that place. is said to have been fired" for writ ing the following, but anyway he has the satisfaction of knowing that he is the victim of truth: The President makes one blunder after another. His minister of finance is inefficient. His minister of for. eign affairs is no better. No pres si- dent has made greater blunders in his appointments. Two years ago, democracy, sanguine of victory and joyous with hope, went about with strutting gait and naughty mien; to-day she totters in rags and dejec- tion."
 And now come reports of serious outbreaks in the democracy of Michigan against the rule of Don Dickinson. This gentleman has had control of the patronage in that state and things have not worked smoothly. Representative Whiting, of the Seventh district, was turned down in his district and he is not disposed to submit. He breathes hard and talks hard about Dickinson and his famous referee system. Conventions have been held in several cities and resolu- tions denunciatory of MT. Dickin- son have been adopted, and in some instances the resolutions have re- ferred to the President in no com plimentary terms. Gen. Shake speare, one of the leading party orators, in recent speech de- nounced the Wilson bill and the President both. Michigan demo- crats admit that the course of the ubiquitous Don has been most dis astrous.
 General McCook is quoted as saying that he thinks Coxey's movement is dangerous. By May he believes 130,OOO half clad men will be around Washington, and the country is approaching a crisis such as happened only in times of rebellion. The general is rect, too, and the progress of this army oftramps should be arrested before it is permitted to congregate at Washington. No possible good can come of the crazy movement. That there is a good sized army of un- employed men in the United States there is no doubt. They can be better provided for, though, by being scattered all over the country than by concentration at any given place.
 It was happy thought on tie part of the New York World, and a good stroke of business policy to send a representative out here right cn the heels of Haywood, to write up Arizona. Haywood wrote the territory down" for nothing for syndicate of papers, and the World wants to write it "up" for S2,0OO. A write up would no doubt prove beneficial to the territory, but if it were known that the truth had to be purchased at so much word, the influence of such an article would amount to but little. This amount of money spent in accordance with the suggestion of the Arizola Oasis, in sending copies of Arizona news papers to reading rooms of hotels and other public places in the east, would give far greater returns. The issue of the World would be read by a great many people. Many of them would forget it as soon as read. A paper going regularly from ! I ha tarritprv uivinor in aaoh icS.,a a l
