our wonderful triumphs VIII SNe Uncle Sam the big head need not worry. The old man is immune.
 THE Carlists seem determined that peace with the United States stall bring no rest to the Spanish government.
 TIE republicans of Arizona do in- deed expect to make 6 showing this year to satisfy the national admins tration by the election of a republi- can successor to Mark Smith.
 TIE fact that the government IS still sending troops to Manila IS an indicatiou that 1t expects to be in business on that island for some time at least.
 WE suppose We should be highly gratifed that the leading papers of Germany have said that the United States was behaving in a becoming and dignifed manner towards
 Al his own request. Admiral Dewey will remain at Manila. He is very strongly in favor of the Stars and Stripes remaining over the Phil ippine islands permanently.
 Jamaica wants to be annexed to the United States. Despite the friendliness of England to the United States during the recent trouble she will scarcely give her consent to this.
 The government that so gloriously and successfully solved the war problem, can be safely trusted to solve all the peace problems, wheth- CT they be in Cuba or in the Philip pines.
 Should the Cuban insurgents re- fuse to comply with the terms of tEe peace protocol, the United States would be compelled to unite with Spain in forcing them to do SO. The spectacle of the United States and Spain, fighting as allies, would be a rather unexpected turn of af- fairs, to say the least.
 TIE progress of the United States may have been slaeked up, awaiting the approval of Mexico, but now that 8 Mexican editor has declared our army and navy to be 'coura- geous. disciplined and civilized" '" we are justified in turning on full head Of steam again.
 Tow PARRISH, who was a candi- date for several places on the Mari copa democratic county ticket-in fact any old ofice-was finally glad to accept delegateship to the ter ritorial convention. Tom is sure enough back number.
 Italy was the first country to off ciaiy congratulate President Me Kinley on having victoriously ended the war. Italy was one of the coun- tries, represented at the beginning Of the war, as itching for an oppor- tunity to help Spain.
 There are indications on the part of anti Bryan democrats of an inten- ton to bolster mp the sinking for tunes of their party by trying to secure Admiral Dewey for a candi- date in 1900. Dewey is too wise to be caught in such trap.
 DEMOCRATIC paper seem to have overlooked Mark Hanna now for two or three weeks. It is really as tonishing that they have not been able to trace the existence of yellow fever at Santiago to the distin- guished senator from Ohio or to connect hlm with those Spanish outrages in Porto Rico.
 THE Maricops delegation to the democratic territorial convention is known to be opposed to the nomination of Mark Smith. It is said the delegation stands eight for Ellinwood, fourteen for Wilson and six for Smith. This settles Smith and brings the contest down to Will son and Ellinw ood, with the chances in favor of Wilson, unless a darb horse walks of with the cake.
 WE advise Messrs. Wilson aud FL linwood, candidates for delegate to congress, to keep an eye on Wiley E. Jones. 1t Is said the Graham county delegation will be for Jones first, last and all the time. and that the Pima county delegation. after casting a complimentary vote for Colonei Breathitt, will be thrown to Jones. Colonel Wilson, you had better look out for Jones.
 FRoM a Republican standpoint the JoURNEL- MINER would like to see Mark Smith nominated, because we think he would be the easiest man to defeat, but in the interest of the territory. if a Democrat must be alected, We would like to see a man elec.ed who would attend to the in- ,er-sts f the territory and not de- vo'e his time to Sooing Belle of Bourbon" and playing poker.
 President Mckinley has kept him. self personally advised of the con duct of the military campaign. r is no cause for amaze meat O. astonishment for him to announce that there will be no in vesti.ation of it. If there has been any neglect or shortcomings, he is personally aware of them, and can deaf with each case as it deserves. without giving an opportunity for individuals to air their personal grievances, or give vent to their per
