Governor Buddd has granted a

reprieve to Durrant till July 9. .. Our contemporary does not seem to like the tone of those Washing ton telegrams.
 Jerry Simpson no longer believes it possible to extract fun out of any attempt to worry Speaker Reed.
 If anything can delay the pros perity that will surely follow the republican tariff it is the utteranee of calamity howls of men of btlsi- ness prominence.
 Prescott's financial condition. at present, is in rather too bad shape to stand the pressure of auy more schemes whereby few individuals msy be pecuniarily benefited at the expense of the masses of the tax payers. So long as majority of the House is behind him, as it IS likely to be so long as the House is controlled republicans, Speaker Reed can smile at the ingeniously constructed news paper revolts against his rule.
 However mnch the Phenix Repub- lican and Gazette may Hdiffer on other questions, they are unit on the question of sugar trusts. In Tuesdays issues two separate para graphs appeared in each paper on this subject, which were identically the same.
 That public sentiment in favor of protection is on the increase, even in such states as Georgia, is shown by the speeches and votes of Demo cratic senators on several tariff schedules of the tariff bill
 The JOURNAL MINER agrees with its contemporary that no boading proposition of any kind whatever should be foisted on the taxpayers without first obtaining their con sent by their votes.
 Diamond fields have been diseor- cred in Mexico, and Vermont is hay ing little gold mining boom, but that is no reason why anybody should give up his ordinary methods of living.
 New York physicians have dis covered a man with two yermiform appendices. This is said 10 be the ouly case ofits kind OF record. This will stimulate the doctors to hunt for others. .<
 The fact that many of the latin inscriptions on buildings and monp- msnts in the United States have been declared by scholars to be bad Latin ought to be good argument for the plain English for such in- scriptions.
 Secretary Bliss has put himself on record as believing with President Mckinley and Secretary Gage, that good times are only a little ways ahead of us. He says of the busi- ness situation: "I find a condition prevailing in business that Is a good sign. Business has not greatly im- proved, but there are evidences that it will, and everybody expects it to" !" Of the tariff outlook Mir. Bliss says: "When it comes out I think it will be the best tariff bill We have had On the books in q generation, and the best working tariff also"
 The escape of. Chacon from the Graham county jail just ten days prior to the date fixed for his exc ton, is certainly a serious reflection op the efficiency of the sherifFs of 6ce of that county. It is custom sEy to place death watch over a condemned man for some days prior to the day fixed for his execu tion. In this case there seems to have been not only no death watch, but no precaution of any kind taken to keep him, ss he cut his way out through the sheriff's office.
 The Phsnix Gazette publishes a telegram from Washington in which Delegate Mark Smith is quoted as saying, in reference to the fight against McCord: II have known Colonel McCord for several years. remember him in congress and later in Phenix, Ariz., and I be- lieve him 10 be an honest, honorable and very able man, aud from the many dispatches and letters coming to me from leading democrats in Arizona indicate 10 my mind that he is not only the choice of the re- pUblicans, but has a very large and influential backing in the demo- cratic party"
 Judge Lynch is busy these days iB the eastern states, thanks to the evasion of the law. Ohio hung her man, Illinois is after him. Virginia attempted to get him. and Alabama is pursuing her heinous criminals. all at the same time. All this pre- sents few facts for people, and es- Pecially our judges and attorneys, to carefully consider. If the ends Of the Ia v are consistently defeated by legal evasion the people will see to it m more serious way.-Phenix Herald.
