THEIR PLANS.
Democratic Councjlmen-EIect viii Hold
Caucus

Democratic members of the common
council will hold caucus TO decide on
their plan of action for the meeting of the
city council Mond X evening. The date
has not been fix but the caucus will
probably be Satu lay evening. Although
nothing definite has been said on the sub
tect it appears as if the democratic mem
bers Of the common council will follow,
the lead of their republican associates.
and not invite the democratic aldermen
to the caucus.
What they contemplate they will not
discuss. Several members said yesterday
that they will not oppose the republican
nominee for president of the common
council. The democratic aldermen have
not held a caucus, if a gathering Of three
could be dignified by that name. but they
will support Alderman Brannon. the re-
publican nominee for the place The rea-
son for such action on the part of the
democrats in each branch is to return the
compliment which republicans extend
them in leaving vacant for their nomina-
ton places on the committee on finance
and City Hospital trustees

WHAT ARIZONA NEEDS.

"High Peddler's License" will
be the title of bill to be intro
duced in the next legislature, ac-
cerding to some Of our. exchanges.
The idea is to get after the mer.
chant who carries his store on his
back and travels on foot from
house to house, through the coun-
try. Before being too hard on the
poor man who tries to earn an
honest penny by peddling, it would
be good idea to reduce local
freight rates, so that peddlers
could not carry goods cheaper
than do the railway companies.
At present, barring heavy ores,
machinery and baled hay, most
goods can be carried either by
man or some other beast of burden,
cheaper than they can be shipped
by rail at evaillng rates. As q
| result there is little internal com
merce in Arizona. 1t is cheaper
to ship goods from Los Angeles to
Congress than from Phoenix tc
Congress, while one can walk from
Phoenix to Congress in less thar
two days. Arizona's greatest con
venience, also the greatest curse
is the railroads. They help tc
bring Arizona IN touch with The
world, but for that service the rail
roads should not be allowed tC
pocket the entire income of tht
people. Both lines coming to thi'
city pay big dividends on stock
many fold above cost of construc
tion.
The Arizona Legislature shoulc
pass an equitable freight and far'
bill. Not one to hamper th'
railroads and prevent them from
earning a just interest on money
invested, but such rate as woulc
enable the people to transport pro
duets of Arizona from one portion
of the territory to another. Busi
ness men here are seriously handi
capped because of the exorbitan
rates charged and unjust discrimi
nations made, The railroad ques
ton is one gilmore seriousness thar
that of peddling, and it is time t.
cease to "Straln at a gnat ant
swallow a camel" ."-EnterpriSe.

cause the Board was compelled to

tion for placing in nomination the
best lawyer who ever held the
office of district attorney, and
about whose eligibility no one
ever had doubt but McGowan,
and yet the Republican party
failed to place a candidate in the

McGowan. And this man has
such an iching for office, that, after
having been appointed district
attorney, he would have contested
the election of any one. We are
of the opinion that the Board of

majestic for referring to Emperor
William as sheephead, while in
Berlin, was fixed for Dec. Goth.
He was sent to prison, bail having
been refused aud the United States
embassy being unable to interfere.
The defense expected to prove
that Mr.. Knaak on November oath,
the day on which he is said to have
spoken disrOspectfully of his maj
esty, was intoxicated and that
when sober he always spoke re-
spectfully of the emperor. 1t
