THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
 Border Vidette The political pot is a-simmering in this neck of the woods and some surprises are liable to bub- ble up to the surface some of these days.
 Graham Guardian: It is surprising to note the number of new enterprises that have sprung into existence in this valley during the present season, with good reason to believe that the number will be more in the same length of time next year.
 Tucson Star: The appointment Of M. G, Samaniego as one of the university regents is another evidence of Gov ernor Franklin's good sense, sound judgment and interest in Arizona's foremost institution. The university is becoming more popular all the time, and its interests will always be care fully guarded and murtured in the hands of such citizens as Mir. Saman- lego.
 
 Graham Bulletin: Says the Florence Tribune: The name of Hon. P. k. Brady has been suggested by many for member of the council from tihds county The Democratic convention which meets here on the 14th inst. could not do a wiser fhing than nom- inate him.
 Tucson Star: MT. H. A. zeckendorf has unique and attractice exhi blt1on in his show windows. It is represen- tation of the National election. Bryan on white horse, is bringing up at the finish. while Mckinley on brown nag is safely in the rear The same dis tance separates Sewall from Hobart.
 Winslow Mail: There are several different kinds of people, says an eX- change. When you see a loud-mouthed illiterate man explaining this or that, then you see man as ignorant as you can possibly find and when you see one of the other kind who sits and lis tens with wide open mouth, and grins and acuuiesces to everything that is said, that man is natural born fool, and then you have the slick individual who thinks he is very smart and is always prating about his goodness and honesty.

 Tucson Citizen: A lady in Tucson, whose husband is fond of investing in mines and extracting from mother earth the glittering metals. sums up her experience in assay values as fol- lows: She says that mining is made up of 75 per cent of chloride of expecta- ton: 50 per cent of bromide of disap- pointment; 225 per cent of oxide of dig up; and 25 per cent of sulphate of experience, with a trace of suicide.

 Border Vidette: Honest politics generally pays in the long run. The people will take a hand in the man agement of political affairs some time. Graham Bulletin: Governor Franklin did the correct thing when he com muted the death sentence of Oscar Rogers to Imprisonment. Rogers was convicted of holding up train, but no murder was committed.

 Winslow Mail: If all the gold in the world was divided equally among its Inhabitants there would be just 2 cents to each. Say that only one fourth of the population are using gold as standard, it would only give them 28 cents to each The National debt of the United States amounts to s7O0 per capita. Will some of our Republican financiers tell us how we are to pay s700 with 2S cents.4
 Tucson Star: The Yayapai delegation to the Democratic territorial conven- tion is whopper and evidently not a Mark Smith delegation Rowe is said to hold the five northern counties in the hollow of 9lis hand and that one or two of the southern counties will come to his assistance.

 Silver Belt: His excellency, Governor Franklin, inI the plentitude of his power and profound consideration foI the sensitive feelings of the sheriff of Pinal county, relieved him from the unpleasant duty of severing the earth ly tie that gives Oscar Rogers hold upon life. He has commuted the sen 2 tence imposed by Judge Rouse, for
