THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Prescott Journal-Miner: J. J. Reilly, the we'll known writer, and who con- tributes many literary gems to leading magazines, is in town from Cherry Creek, where he is engaged in develop ing some good looking mining claims
 Tombstone Prospector: Arizona onyx is in demand in the east. A shipment of 10000 pounds from the Big Bug quarry was made recently.
 Tempe News: All honor to those members of the Populist party who by their nomination of the Democratic presidential candidate, and later on through fusion agreements, placed themselves upon a plane of highest patriotism. Butiwhat shall we say of such political pretenders, who, while ostensibly sailing under the Populistic flag, endorse, as for instance, in Texas, the Republican electors, and thereby deliberately attempt to stab to death the free coinage issue. They are dis gracing the name of a noble political organization and are sailing under false colors. But when the Sd of No vember rolls around, the masses of the Populists in Texas will be found like they were found in Arkansas on September z, repudiating the unholy Republican alliance, and helping to roll up Texas hundred thousand Bryan majority. Mark, Hanna.
 Tucson Star: The Star would sug- pact th t1ho If crop of hay on our mesa lands ought to be considered by those who under stand the probabilities of crop. There has been so much rain the ground is so well saturated that it is reasonable to suppose that a profitable crop could be raised, thus producing for our home consumption many thousands of tons of grain hay, which will avoid send- ing ito foreign markets large sums of money for this commodity.
 Tombstone Prospector: A misappre- hension prevails as to the residence qualification of voters in Arizona. The statute requires that the voter shall have been a resident of the territory for one year next preceding the cleo ton and ten days within the county
 Tucson Star: The people of Arizona have certainly much cause to fee grateful for the bounteous rains which for many weeks have been constantly watering the valley, plain and noun. tain, giving so much promise for the immediate, as well as the somewhat distant future. Such plentiful water. ing of the earth, which responds iI rich pasture and certain returns tC the farmer, ought to inspire all witt the hope of much prosperity, for wher the farmer and stockmen are prosper |ouS, business of all kinds smiles. Yes we have cause to be charged with be- ing full of hope and to feel grateful.
 
 Tombstone Prospector: Miss Anna Kans of Bisbee arrived in town Sun day during the raging storm hatless and seemed laboring under great men tai strain. She rode horseback iron Flairbank, taking a horse that was tie( to post which belonged to MT. Like: and came up to Tombstone, arriving as stated, during the heaviest of tht rain and thoroughly drenched. Sh' procured dry clothing and was madt as comfortable as the circumstance: would admit of. This is an unfortu nate case and the girl is to be pitied She is now in the custody of the sher if and will again be examined on thu grounds of insanity.
 Tombstone Prospector: It is now ; three-cornered fight, and still believ' Bryan will be the next president.
