ticket is F. H, Parker, who, though g comparatively young man, has already in bis private affairs manifested those necessary qualities already described. After November he will be addressed as Supervisor Parker.
 Republicans of Phoenix precinct may enjoy equal pride in the ensemble of the local ticket. For one of the justices of the peace Col. c. w. Johnstone has been nominated. He is a new man in the territory neither in residence nor official experience. He is justly proud of both. The conduct of his office has been honest and skillful and his re-elec- ton is as certain as it will be wise.
 The candidate for the other justice chip is W. J. Cotton, young man oi legal bent and training. under whose direction the application of law in a lower, but important, court will be wisely made.
 For one of the constables of Phoenix precinct s. W. Bayley has been nomi- mated. MT. Bayley has already proved himself to be brave, wise and discrim. idating officer.
 A. J. Porterie, the candidate for the remaining office of constable, is an old Ph9nician with an intimate acquaint- ance in the city and precinct. He is experienced, judicious and fearless and deserving of election.

GOOD FIGHTERS.
Chinese Soldiers Are Fearless and Infinite
 in Numbers.

Chinese Soldiers Are Fearless and Infinite
 in Numbers.
 Our knowledge of the modern China man in battle has been derived from the wars of 1883 and 1884 with the French
 According to the French narrative. of the war in Tonquin, the Chinese generals were deficient in strategy; but the rank and file fought so desperately, with such utter disregard for life, that they generally won the battles, and the campaigns ended in French re- treats. Admiral Courbet covered him. self with glory by his operations on the River Min, which ended in the destruc- tion of the Chinese arsenals and ship yards, but the admiral had to make all haste to withdraw his force; if he had delayed, not ship nor man would have escaped, says the San Francisco Argonaut.
 So at the conflict on the island of Formosa. The speed with which the French landed was outstripped by the speed with which they reembarked. French officers who have seen the Chi nese in the field shake their heads when foreigners talk lightly of their military prowess. In fact, the ques- tion speaks for itself. Given a prac- tically indefinite number of fighting men, every one of whom is ready to die on the field, it goes without saying that it cannot be overcome by weaker force.
