 As Mississippi was the only state that went democratic this fall, she should be allowed to name the ticket for next year. "-Albuquerque Demo crat. As the prospects now are that Mississippi will be the only state that will go democratic next year, the above suggestion Is an excellent one.
 Helena, Montana, IS an unhealthy place for murderers. A recent tele- gram from there says that "of three murder trials in four weeks, two capital convictions have been secured and one second degree verdict" The latter man committed suicide in jail before he was taken to the peniten- tiary.
 The Arizona Populist says that "in the republican party to-day the only true republican Is the man who believes in the gold standard" ," With just as much truth it might be said that in the populist party to- day the only true populist is ahorse thief and anarchist. But of course neither assertion would be true.
 4 Washington telegram says the supreme court has affirmed the de- cision of Judge Ross sentencing Clune, Ross and Stanwood, the Los Angeles A. R. U. officials, for eigh- teen months in the p ,nitentiary for conspiracy, Justice Brewer writing the opinion. Labor leaders are greatly excited, as they regard it as making all strikers criminals.
 The jury in the Copper Queen case at Tucson failed to agree on a verdict. The agreement to disagree was reached at noon Sunday, thirty eight hours after the case was sub mitted, and the jury was discharged. The Star says that slight changes of opinion took place in the jury room, but at the outset there was so nearly an equal division that there was no hope among lthe jurymen them selves of any sort of an agreement unless possibly on a compromise.
 The citizens of Mississippi do not look upon their courts as infallible institutions, as is evidenced by the following telegram of recent date from Crystal Springs, in that state:
 'To night, on the arrival of the train from Brookhaven, a determined mob, numbering about two hundred, from Hopewell neighborhood, fully armed, took of Jack Marlborough, the noted criminal, and hung him to tree. Marlborough had been con- victed in Lincoln county of the murder of Jessie Davis, and sen fenced to the penitentiary for life. He was in charge of an officer en route to the state prison when inter cepted by the mob"
 Judging from the tone of the New Mexico press, the three judges of that territory, who voted for the imprisonment of Thomas Hughes, editor of the Albuquerque Citizen. on a charge of contempt, are not held in very high esteem. They have been roasted by the papers, and justly too, from the Colorado line to the Mexican border. \ very much greater contempt has been expressed for them than was ever implied n the article published iu the Citizen. o- than it was capable of being construed. It is mistaken idea that a judge should be above criticism. although it is eminently correct and proper that the dignity of his position should be main tained.
 The following paragraph, taken from the Phenix Populist, shows what is expected of political parties: ''If the leaders of the republican party could point to a single in- stance where that party has put one brick on top of another, where 1t has reclaimed one acre of land, or built one miles length of irrigating canal for the benefit of the people of Arizona, there would be some reason why they should be so eager to see republican success" This is the first intimation yet seen that political parties are expected to build houses and construct irrigating ditches. Under the rule of the republican party during its administration of governmental affairs Tor quarter ot a century, this country prospered as no country under the sun ever pros pered, and made it possible for it's citizens to reclaim thousands of acres of land, build thousands oI miles Of railroad and construct m les upon miles of irrigating ditctes. When political parties embark in enterprises of this klnd, the republi- can party will be found in the front ranks of the procession, ant aot sit ting astride the fence snapping and snarling at some one else.
 A recent telegram from Washing ton says: Hawaii may after all be- come a part of the United States. and that within the coming year. Information of a trustworthy nature has been secured concerning the
