 The sooner those republicans who place the qualification of their per. sonal ambition above the success ol
 the party and the maintenance oi its principles are made to take back
 seats, the better it will be for the party.
 "Old Interrogation Point" other wise known as Lii 6uug Chang, is again on top in China, and his off,
 cial statement of the present help l leSsness of China against European
 greed is both able and pathetic. The Ohio democrats stood in with
 Kurtz all right in his opposition to
 Hanna, but when 1t came to voting
 for him, for Hanna's place, his dem
 cratic allies turned him down too
 quick. No man ever made perma-
 manept point in politics by turning
 traitor to his party.
 Despite the walls of the calamity
 howlers, the credit of Arizona is
 more than ten per cent better today,
 under Governor McCord's admins
 tration, than it was under demo
 cratic rule. It would please these
 calamity howlers better. no doubt,
 to have warrants selling at a dis
 count for the benefit of the warrant
 shavers, whom they affect to de-
 nounce.
 Shades of Mosesl How the Buckley
 organ shorts because territorial war rants are at par; because returning prosperity has enabled taxpayers to
 pay several thousand dollars more taxes this year than last, thus pre- venting them from becoming delin- guent; and because Governor Me Cord recommended the retention of
 Whipple Barracks as a military post
 for the protection of property from every possible source.
 If the policy outlined by the Bucky organ were to be pursued in Arizona, not only would the troops stationed at Whipple Barracks be necessity, but the entire standing army of the United States would be required for the protection of prop erty. The great mass of the people of Arizona, however, does not agree with the repudiator that the prop erty of a corporation, or of wealthy individual, is fit subject for plum der at will.
 An exchange says that ''the Los Angeles Times has dropped into the yellow back rut." While the Sunday Magazine of the Times has yellow ] covered back to it, there is nothing in any part of the paper suggestive of yellow journalism" The Les Angeles Times is the cleanest paper received at this office. The news are presented in it in au attractive manner, but without any of the features, and lacking the and nauseating cheap il- lustration business indulged in by many papers.
 At Sausanville, California, the other day, an attorney talked back to the court when he as fined 5000 , for contempt of court. The impos- ing of this fine only aggravated the excited attorney, when he retorted with a vile epithet at the judge. The latter coolly arose from the bench, walked down to where the , attorney was and emphasized his ,ontempt of him by planting a we'll timed blow with his fist in the attor- ley's face. The latter was then re- moved from the court room by /. Ieputy sheriff. The proceeding gas not very dignifed, but seemed fective. V
 A fight is on in Denver between f he business men and newspapers. f, Denver has four daily papers, two n published in the morning and two Il I the afternoon. The managers of o, he four papers were recently in- ii ited to a business conference with ot he leading business men and adver- Q, sers of the town. At this con tt ,rence they were informed that p, ,urteen of the leading advertising te rms had entered into an iron ar ad contract to withdraw re l their advertising patronage from ar le papers, unless a concession of by 7enty-fve per cent of the rates to -eviously charged them was made. st he newspapers refused, and the CT Ivertisements of the fourteen firms tn we been withdrawn. The talk of ex arting a paper on the cooperative up an. Should they do SO, they will m; d at the close of the year, that u; BY have paid out about two or L- rec times as much for their expe- oa' nee, as advertising at the old Jus es would have cost them. abs
