POLITICAL SOLDIERS.

An order recently issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Arizo. na militia, revokes the action of the court martial which found two of ficers and a private of Co. F., N. G. A., guilty of insuoordination.
 The Governor i.as done the pro- per thing in this matter. The Ma tional Guard is not a spectacle to be displayed in civil procession, sand wiched in between boys in paper masks and "be-bloomered' women on bicycles.
 The law does not require the guard to take part in 4th of July processions, the Colonel CD to the contrary notwithstanding.
 And furthermore, Col. Martin is an administrative officer at the present time and had no business in command of Go. F." and as Grand Marshall of Tucson's civic parade, he had about as much au- thority over Go. F as the Shah of Persia.
 We do not see any other course for the Colonel and his advisers in this affair but to resign, which We hope they will soon do.
 We trust the Governor will then appoint soldier to the command of the 1st regiment.

Spank the Baby.

Rather an amusing incident oc- cured yesterday on the corner oi Washington and Center streets. A woman with small child passed along by the Goldman corner when the little one began to cry. The mother seemed vexed and the more she fusSed, the louder the child screamed. A colored man was leaning against a post taking it all in. He said, "Id spank that baby" No sooner had he uttered the words than the woman left the child and slapped the impudent fellow two or three times in the face, after which she took the little one by the hand and walked away.-Gazette.

CONGRESS.

The present session of Congress promises to be the most important one since the late civil war.
 Questions of vital importance to the people individually and coflec. lively as nation, must be intelli- gently and patriotically considered. The great change of the popular vote at the last election from Dem ocratic to Republican candidates, was m intimation-very loud and positive-that they are not satisfied and demand a chUnge.
 The "times" are still "hard" and Congress must first of all consider fairly and justly what is the reason and supply remedy.
 The customs tariff needs round ing off. More important still is the financial question, and, in establish. ing just relation between gold and silver, and assuring tie gold reserve without further issuance of bonds, Congress alone will have it's hands full.
 Then the question of the subsi- dized railroads, and whether 1t is advisable or not for the government to own them, will call for serious consideration.
 In foreign affairs we will proba- ply be more engaged than ever be- fore in our history. We need but mention the annexation of; the Sandwich Islands, the recognition of the Cnbans as belligerents, the condition of Venzuela and the Mon roe doctrine as applied to it's af- fairs, the breaking of the treaty by England iii connection with seal taxing off Alaska. the arrest of ex Consel Waller by France. and the everpresentquestion of Fisherys of the Canada Coast.
 These are the most important subjects to which Congress will have to devote its time.
 It is sincerely to be hoped that the members will lay aside for once their partisan feelings, and patriot, ically weigh all these matters, and determine what is best for the peo pie.
 ''The whole is greater than any of its parts." The glory of the U. s is more to be desired than the tenn porary success of the Republican or Democratic parties.

DOROTHY.

A slender little maiden, in dainty, ruffied gown, Whose eyes of brown glance shyly to and fro;
 Her chin is titled up
 Like cloven lily-cup, And her cheeks have stol'n the poppie's crimson glow. A hat that's big and shady.overtops her bonny head; To keep the sun out, spreads the circling rim,
 But the caution is in vain.
 It was donned too late 'tis plain' For he's tangled in her curls beneath the brim Every step she treads so quaintly in her tiny buckled shoes, Takes her farther in the kingdom of my heart.
 She's my gracious queen, 50 loyal, And Pm her subject loyal, And she rules me with tender, loving heart. o, gracious little sovereign, may the swiftly-passing years, With their overfowing freight of joy and pain,
 Lay the sorrows at my doors,
 Lay the happiness at yours, And the harvest moon of heartsease never wanel

An exchange tells of parents who were trying to find names for their twin babies, who by the way were girls. Itwas decided that the fath- CT must name them.

He had been to Flagstaff previous tJ visiting Prescott for the purpose of securing q restraining order from the court commissioner, and it was the refusal of this offer that prompted his visit to the coun- ty seat of Yavapai, the home of Judge Hawkins.

Though ordinarily abstemious and prudent, about a week ago he started on drunken spree that ended only with his death.

PRESS COM MENTS.
This Editor Hasn't Visited Aroostook.
Boston Transcript

1t is only by the reflection that true
greatness is not expressed by physical bulk
alone that the Massachusetts, man con-
soles himself for the slight inflicted by
editors who use his state for the purpose
Of comparison with something bigger. Not
only is this comparison set up in the West
but in the East also. A Maine editor
commenting on the vast resources OF
Aroo stock county says it must be re-
membered that it is larger than all Massa-
chusotts and that the two thousand car
loads of lumber which the Bangor and
Aroostook hauled this winter off one divi
sion on its line was but basket of chips
compared with the timber that awaits
cutting. The Bangor and Aroostook, the
youngest railroad system in New Eng
land, is contemplating building branch
fifty seven miles long from Oakfield to
Ashland, which will yield it the profit on
hauling 500, 900 bushels of potatoes in an
ordinary season. In all the vast county
there are but So, 600 people, living in scat
tered hamlets in clearings of the forest and
in one or two towns. Not one. tenth OF
the acreage of Aroostook has been
cleared, and there are miles of forest where
possibly no white mans foot has ever
trod. The railroad is developing bust
ness rapidly. but at the present rate il
skirts the Aroostook loses the character OF
a wild land to which only the hardest OF
pioneer populations has made it's way.
