In regard to the carnival at Tucson, the Tucson Star says: The city coun- cil has wisely decided not to allow the so-ca,led four carnival to be perpe- trated upon the people of Tucson. It is not only a foolish and wanton waste of four, which should go to the poor, but much clothing is destroyed and no good comes from such crazy notion, which might be all right for lot of lunatics or drunken rowdies; but for civilized, self-respecting people to en- gage in such game of lunacy, waste and destruction, seems to be incredi- ble. The Star does not believe that any one seriously considered such an outlandish performance. AS matter of fact any one who would throw four on people walking the streets ought to be arrested as lunatics and if not crazy they ought to be cuffed or booted publicly.

Is it possible that the Herald, staid, life, can counsel mob violence and the lynching of the hobos that have sought our matchless winter cline? Possibly that is not what is intended but the following looks very like it. It is from the Herald: "In the absence of the ability of our officials to clear the town of insolent hobos and dangerous thieves, Phoenix contains ijhe remains of little organization that is number of years old and that can do the thing Ito perfection and swiftly. It don't take those remains long to get to- gether."

MUTTERINGS OF WAR.

w. l.. Brown of the Chicago Ship building company, declares that in case of war with England, the United States could build thirty fully equipped war vessels for lake service inside of ten months. In an emergency armor- ed vessels of simple construction could be put together in thirty days On the other hand he added, Canada could do practically nothing in the way of armored vessels and would be obliged to get along with makeshifts. Ship yards on the United States side could take care of work faster than material could be furnished" Continued MT. Brown, "ail the armor for these ves- sels has ito come from one place, Pitts burg. There are only two firms there which make it, the Carnegie Steel company, and Cambria Iron company. So the United States controls the sup ply of material

CLEvEUAND's CANDIDACY.

Dr. Chauncey Depew has been called upon to give to the public through the New York World his idea of the result of a war with England. He takes no rosy view of the situation, prophesying victory only after great tribulation, but of Cleveland has an original idea or two. In part, he said:
 "Mr. Cleveland, whether they like it or not, has taken the wind out of the sails of those leaders on both sides of politics who have presented a policy of aggressiveness and become leaders in the movement called that of jingo- ism. MT. Cleveland becomes over night the only possible candidate that the Democratic party can nominate.
 By proceeding to create an issue of this kind, his party being dead, or, I might put it in this way, being in the hands of a receiver, has captured an issue that he can make available to make his party politically solvent He has forced US ito readjust the lines of battle between the two great parties.
 Yesterday the Republican party had walkover before it. So clear it was that in the judgment of the men of influence in both parties the nomina- tion that is to be made at St. Louis would be practically an election, and that the election would be simply the ratification of that nomination. Now President Cleveland creates a new is sue by making the Monroe doctrine the foremost principle to be insisted upon and the chief plank (as it will be, of course) of both party platforms, and by claiming this much of the credit-thal5 in proc.aiming this doc Urine as president of the Uunited States he ought to be and should be the man to carry it out-he is again formida- ble candidate"

 Bakersfield Californian: Some shell game thieves were arrested in San Luis Obispo the other day and one of the papers spoke of them as gam blers. To this the thieves strenuously object ed. They are right. They are not gamblers, and it is an insult to call them so-that is, insult to the gam blers. IA genuine gambler is a gentle man by comparison. The shelI game operator is meaner than sneakthief; he is the meanest thing that walks on two legs.
