pdOlcCNttuiSk AuN bilc ACSuAN oA NAO recent election would indicate that the sentiment of the country is very strongly in favor of this doctrine Latter day democracy as promul- gated by Cleveland, Wilson, Cor man, etc, have wandered far away from the principles of democracy as promulgated in the old Jeffersonian days and the JetTersoniau democrat of teddy differs but littla if any from the republican ot to-day. That the country is tired of Cleve land democracy Is very evident from the election returns.
 Senator Quay says the beet sugar industry can be saved by a dug on foreign sugar and that thousands now idle, or poorly paid, can obtain profitable employment by putting a duty on wool and increasing the duty on woo!en goods; but Grover Cleveland Is reported to have said that he would veto any bill contain ing an increase of duty. We shall seq. The treasury Is in a hole-a very deep hole--and must have an nually thirty or forty more millions than the democratic tariff law will produce. These millions can only be raised by act Of congress. It looks as though congress had the whip hand of MT. Cleveland, and we predict that it will use it.
 The Phenix Gazette has the fol. lowing philosophical soliloquy over the election returns: 1t Is folly to moraljze. The country Is leaning hard in the direction of the republi- can party. The people are voting against hard times, against a three years panic, against the men whom they think dealt silver its death blow, and if the democracy hopes to sustain itself at the next presi- dential election it must be up and doing something to aid the strug- gling, toiling masses of the nation. A hungry man Is no logician, and 1t is unnatural to consider him such. A man with a hungry wife and babies is not a man to discuss either theology or politics"
 Lawrence Lemon, who murdered man named Shean, because the latter discovered him with his i (Shean's) wife, has been sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. His friends are probably already at work, getting up a petition for his pardon, and it will only be a short time until he will be turned loose gain. Murder, after all, is not con sidered much of a crime in this tsr- ritory. By the way, while on this subject, it may be noted that Susie" Wilson. who committed a cold blooded murder in Copper Basin a few years ago, has been turned out by Governor Hughes on parole. The verdict of nearly every one, ex- cept the jury, who heard the testi mony in his case, was that he de- served to be hanged, but he got of with a sentence of few years, aud is now enjoying his freedom again.
 The monthly report of R. G. Dan X Co.,, says: In the east a feeling uncertainty prevails. The price barometer is not altogether favor able. Iron still continues firm. Clear ing house pa Gants which reflected in part past transactions reached for the month to within 6 per cent of those of October, 1892 Retail distribution is,moderately encourag- ing. The most disquieting fact is that the balance of trade continues so large against Us. The exports for October were only trife in excess of last year, while the imports show a gain of more than 30 per cent. From Arizona of late we hear con tinually facts that point 10 an in- creased prosperity of that section. Copper camps are increasing their output as rapidly as possible with new and improved appliances aud many new mining properties are being developed. The leading towns are having an active building pro- greSs and the Salt river valley as pecially seems gathering consider able immigration. Everything points to better times from now on.
 The Florence Tribune will prob ably jump with its hob nailed boots on Editor Hackney of the Globe Silver Belt, and charge him with insidiously advocating lynch law in the following article: The trial of Lawrence M. Lemon for the mur- der of Thomas Shean, at Harsh NV, August 3), 1895, resulted in verd ct of guilty Of manslaughter The crime of which he Is guilty was an atrocious one and merited the ex- treme penalty, but misguided sym pathy and the testimony of h.s para mour, the wife of the murdered man, to which no credence should have been given, saved him from death on the gallows. The jury on the first ballot is said to have stood four for murder, seven for manslaughter and one for acquittal, and after sev- eral hours deliberation the majority l prevailed and the verdict of man. slaughter was agreed upon.
