Is the Jury Impartial.
Each picture as it is admitted Is marked
according to the Importance assigned it, as
l, 2 or 3. This is kind of direction given
by the jury to the hanging committee for
the place to be assigned the picture in the
final exhibition. Following the jury are
two separate brigades of employees. One
is for the pictures which are admitted, the
other for the refused. Each picture, as the
decision is given, Is at once seized by the
brigade to which it falls. and carried off to
be placed in alphabetical order again, where
it can be found easily for the next proceed
ing For the refused this is that the artist
should come and cart away his failure
But even this is not done until the jury
after completing its first choice, looks
over the rejected paintings again. This is
called the repechage, or fishing out" of
what, after all, may be worth exhibiting
In this way sone two hundred pictures are
saved, though as by fire.

THE Phoenix Republican has ditch
water notions of republican politics in
Pima county. THIS is apparent by its
editorial about an Allison delegation
being cent from here. The
eentIment among the publicans of this
town is largely if not wholly in favor
Of Gov. Mex nley for the presidency, but
at the same time, as We have before
stated, they are not staked out in the in
terests of any one particuier man. With
them it is. Arizona first and party after
wards. The republicans of Pima county,
with whatever shortcomings they may
have, hsye fewers disturbing elements
and less machine politics in their make
uo than confronts their bretheren Of
Maricops. True mistakes have been
made, regretable and uniptentional al
wrongs done, but the republicans or
good old Pima can always be relied upon
to stand msnfully by the principles OF
their party, and that too without having
to be bought Can the Repu blican who
Processes to sit IN judgement on them
say as much? The aim of the
Republican is to encourage contest
ing delegations sBd thus bolster up its
own iniquitous scheme in the division
OF the republican party in Msricopa
county, as we'll as elsewhere. So far as
Pima county is concerned it will not
succeed and unless We miss our guess
it will not succeed in Msricopa county
either.

ApEMoCRATIo ESTIMATE.

The Detroit Journal, a republican pa
per, presents democratic estimate oil
the result of the next presidential elec'
tiou. The eetimste, Gays the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, gives the democrats the
159 votes of the old southern group OF
states. II comedies the republicans l6'
electoral votes. The dou ubtful states In
clude New York, New jersey, Illinois,
Indiana, Connecticut and South Dako-
ia, and cast 95 votes. The so-cailed sill
YER states cast q votes. With l59 safe
democratic votes and 167 counted safe
Tor the republicans, the winning party
must take votes from the doubtful or
silver column. The democrats will need
to draw from the doubtful column the
three states of New York, Illinois and
Connecticut to win or their equivalent
from other doubtful or silver states.
The republican column OF ststes is much
more solid than the states the estimate
gives the democrats as certain. Esti-
mates of thie nature are of little value in
advance of the adoption OF a platform
and the nomination Of candidates.
Should q gold platform be adopted the
democratic column of southern states
would certainly crumble. On the other
hand, should free silver carry the day at
Chicago no one OF the doubtful column
would fall to the democrats. Even New
York, which the Raines bill apparently
hands over to the democrats, would ac-
cept that act as the preferable alterna-
tive of free silver.

IT is reported here that instructions
have been sent from Phoenix TO iosist
on pledged delegation being sent from
Pima county to Pheepix for Mckinley,
and in case of a refusal then to send a
contesting delegation. As We have ssid
a thousand times before that the repub-
licans OF Pima county are friendly to
McKinley's interests, but IL we know
them rightly they will repudiste any
attempt from q Maricopa county faction
to ram such thing down their thEosts.
The republicans of Pima county are
capable of attending to their Own affairs
and unless We misiuterpet their temper
they will resent outside interference to
g man.

TBE CITIZEN is strongly opposed to q
pledged delegation to st. Louis. Un-
der the call for delegates Arizona is au-
thorlzed to elect two. but it is the in
tention of the party to send six. The
latter number was admitted in the last
democratic convention and We hope and
believe that the republican convention
will be no less liberal to the territories.
But at the same time by sending a
pledged delegation Altoona will ieopar-
die their chances Of admission. With all
of our good wishes for Mckinley 1t Is op-
parent to the most unobserving thst in
caee the temporary organization OF the
national convention falls into the hands
OF others not friendly to the Mckinley
interests, there will be no "extras" al
lowed out OF any pledged delegation.
We hold therefore that it is better to
send men who are uninstructed.

WHY II WILL NOT WORK.

That is very pretty scheme which
the silver democrats have put up IN the
hope of capturing the presidency for the
democratic party whether the Chicago
convention splits on the money question
or not. But it won't work.
The idea Of the silveIites is that II the
Chicago convention nominates a eound
money candidate the silver men can
belt and cnoose a candidate OF their own.
Then the silver democrats in the west
and south will work for the election OF
their mar, while the sound money DEM
ocrats Of the east do the same for their
candidate. Then il the democrats in
that way secure a majority of the elec-
toral college, it is proposed to throw all
their votes for the free silver candidate
and elect him
One reason why this scheme will not
work is the fact that protection and not
money Is to be the leading issue in the
coming campaign. From Maine to Cal
ifornis and from the lakes to the gulf a
majority of the voters are demanding
return to republican protection, and
they will vote in November for the can
didate of the party that is favorable to
that policy. This means that the re-
publics1s are certain to have big ma
iority in the electoral college, no matter
uhothor tho damocrate hava one capdi-
date or two, or whether they declare for
sound money or free coinage.
II the democrats were certain OF se-
curing majority in the electoral col
lege under any circumstances their
scheme might work, but the ''if' which
stands in the way of the carrying out of
their plans is big and insurmountable.-

THE NEW TUCSON.

The stone that so long has lain IN
front of the door of Tucson 10 about to
be rolled away and the march OF modern
improvements begun. Yesterday. under
suspension of the rules, by unanimous
consent, the Shoemaker bill passed
congress. This bill authorizes the city
of Tucson to issue bonds to the extent
of 500, 600, for the purpose OF putting
10 water and sewerage systems. The
unanimity with which the bill was re-
ceiyed sugurs well for its speedy passage
through the senate and approval by the
president. Concededly Tucson although
among the oldest towns in the Unlteo
States, is among the most BACKWARD.
She has followed her ancient groove and
slept while her younger and less preten-
teous neighbors moved on. But the
Rip Van Winkle steep has been oroken'
old building are being torn down or
moderD,zed aud new ones erected.
The present activity is attributable to
one cause alone-that of tie late SUD-
stsntial street Improvements. When'
after hundred abortive attempts, the
city council finally decided to pursue
systematic course of street improve
ments the opposition of number OF
worthy but misguided citizens was pro-
voksd, but eventually they fell II iine'
ioined the procession and marched
along. This street improvement was
the turning point in Tucson greatness
and the $1,000 or $4,000 expended in this
direction, less than year ago, has raie-
ed property values in Tucson at least
100000. In other words interest and
principal have been returned more than
ten fold. Ii then 30 small an outlay has
borne such fruit, the smount that Will
necessary follow the expenditure OF
100000 in public improvements Will,
perforce, be prodigious.
The bill was conceived by Hon. q. +.
to whom, as chairman OF
the street committee, the city owes so
much. 1t was approved by the council
and transmitted to Hon. n. 0. Murphy,
our delegate In Washington, with re-
quest that he "put it through" He Is
doing bis work nobly and we'll and is
earning the gratitude OF every enter
prising citizen in Tucson.

the bill sure be had it attached 10 the

prepared and agreed upon in the inter-
ior det ertment, il ehould go through
