CAMPAIGN BAYS.

And candidates will roam about as they have ever done, and they will buttonhole me oft when I've for got my gun. l soon will smell their pickled breath and smoke their bad cigars, the while they talk nc half 70 death-oh, that's the thought that jars! They'll VOW they're patriots one and all, and l will know they lie. The love that hoies them in its thralI is love of public pie. They're coming, oh' they're coming! The election days are near, with orators and patriots and candidates and beer. And 1 must get my Faber out and whet it to a point, and prove the other party's brain is sadly out of joint; for if there ba an aidied, as people must agree it's carried by the brind- led cuss who don't agree with me.

OUR GREATEST NEED.

It is apparent to any Ari- zonan writing the east that the people of that section are densely ignorant as to the resources of our territory. The only ideas they, as a rule, have gathered, have been the impres- sions made upon tourists by fly lng passage through the desert portions of the territory. They are absolutely unaware of the ex- istence of our fruit orchards, grain and alfalfa fields, vineyards and vasts forests. They have never seen the smoke of OUT smelters nor heard the dropping of our hundreds of stamps On gold ore. They can not conceive O. Arizona being the home educational institutions on par w;th their own and built on the same standard of excellence.
 Their knowledge of Arizona has been gathered from malicious stories written for sensational effect by ignoramRses who are not alone blind to decency but also handle truth with 8 degree of recklessnes! which indicates little less then ; passing acquaintance with tha commendable virtue.

High Trimming of Shade Trees.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The park commission of the city is re-
quested, in the name of safety. comfort
and beauty, to trim the shade trees up high
above the pavements. The Cimmerian
darkness caused by the ow-hanging
branches forces the pedestrian at night
to the middle of the street for safety,
where now, alas, he is liable to be run
over by the noiseless bicycle. In Euro
pean cities the trees are trimmed up .hir-
ty, forty and fifty feet overhead, throwing
the strength of the tree into dense wide
spread foliage at the top, thereby afford
ing not only grateful shade, but beau
tiful perspective views, and securing safety
to hapless pedestrians against molestation
and sudden death! Try this, city fathers,
and receive the benedictions of many citi-

A MOliere ComedH

Saturday evening the French classes of
National Park Seminary, at Forest Glen,
gave a production of LIE Bourgeois Gentil-
homme." The play, one of Moliere's most
difficult comedies. is an ambitious one to
be attempted by amateurs, especially by
school girls, but Saturdays production was
highly creditable, and evinced considerable
dramatic talent in the young ladies of the
ration, and excellent training on the par
Of their instructors. The accent was ex-
traordinarily good, and the acting of
Misses Winship, Archer. Fairlamb, Griffin,
Gaillard and Tebbs deserves especial men
ton and ELECTED much applause, as did
also the love scene in the fourth act. The
affair was attended by many Washingto-
mans, as well as by the young ladies of
the seminary and their friends who are
with them for commencement.
