 Der of wheels in use m the capital city at 10000, and the total amount invested in them at SS,o0O,oOO. The ! loss to the Street-car companies IS estimated at S4,OOO per day, which would amount to Sl, 100000 annually, ! or nearly half of the amount invest ed in bicycles.
 Conflicting reports have been re ceiyed in regard 10 the fate of the !

 The Allison managers are working ou an economical basis, probably from the fact that they see that their cause is hopeless. \ telegram ! from Des Moines says that at recent meeting held by them they entered | into a contract for 2,0OO cots at St. ! Louis. These cots will be placed in . the four-story buildi.g rented al | St. Louis for Allison headquarters. Arrangements have beea made with the Y. N. (. A.

 It IS really quite amusing to note the interest taken hy democratic papers in the republican candidate for president. They devote columns to the discussion ot the republican candidate, to lines in reference 10 l the democratic candidate. It Is complimentary though, tO the dem- ocratic press, as il shows that they prefer 10 devote their space to the i discussion of active live issues, rather than waste it on dead ones.
 The editors who are talking about an extra session of the itty-ffth congress being called Co meet on the day the next president IS in augurated are exhibiting their ignorance. No proclamation can be issued calling that Congress tn- gether until after the next Presl- dent has taken his seat, and It IS customary, although not obligatory, to issue such proclamations at least thirty days in advance of the date named for congress to meet.
 Our contemporary has repeatedly published iusinuations aqout 700 or 500 mile. mileage claim for a dis tance of l5O mile-." Iitherv Is any thing of this kind proving ca the mind of the editor, why don't ae come out like a man and iell what he means. We may b. able to en- tighten him on the subject, II he will unburdeu his mind. as the eji- tor of this paper has uot been T party to any mileage claim. which be Is ashamed of, but has no time to take any extended cognizance of insinuations.
 The new commissioner of immi- grafton for Yavspai county seems to have gotten the impression into his brain that the editor of this paper was bis predecessor iu cfhce. For the Gentlcmau's information we will state that Mr Jackson occupied that position an,: the oniv pvcuniary benefit the JouRNAL-MINER ever re- ccive1 from th position was that of publishing :ar Mr Jaeksou, q special mining cGjri n ol the paper. worth as a business proposition from SiOO 70 S5OO. for which the sum of S220 was received.
 Geo. l. Young, editor Of the Williams News. who was elected secretary of the recent territorial republican convention, says that the credentials of the so called Stoddayd delegation were obtained from demo cratic sources. This IS a libel on the delegation. MT Young in his paper adds: ~This Mckinley talk sounds rotten, to say the least" That is just what democratic editors have been saying ever since Nc Kinley's name was first mentioned. Next November Mckinley talk may not sound so rotten though to either Ar. Young or democratic editors.
