A TWO-EDGED SWORD.

The attempt on the part of various opposition journals to make Q political issue against the republican party out Of the shortconlirg gs Of various bureaus of the war department will meet with the failure 1t deserves. When such Q democrat as General Joe Wheeler stands up in defense of the department and when it is shown that a very large proportion, if net Q majority, of the responsible officers in the comrnis- sary's, Quarternasaer' surgeon gen. erals and inspection bureaus were and arc democrats, it becomes aa exceed ingly d;fdcult matter to saddle the b,eme for whatever mismaragement vas developed, ia the hurly-burly Of the silort war, upon republican shoul- deTs exclusively. Let it be called to TIind, fer instance, that the inspector general of the army is democrat, and that one Of his chief assistants for a tine was TO less 3 democrat than Col crel Perry Belmont, late representa- tive in congress from New York.
 If there is anything to the credit Of the present national administration, it is the fact that from the very begin ning Of the war the president and his cabinet secretaries have utterly ignored all partisan considerations in it's con- duct. It has been patriots wa~; and they have planned and acted solely as patriots. Their position has been fully and feelingly recognized by the larger minded of those who were their poiiti- cal opponents before the war. Tha9 they have made some mistakes, and that some things could undoubtedly have been done better, both at Santi- ago and in the concentration camps, may ba freely admitted, without leav- ing the slightest opening for a partisan attack

! HISTORIC FLAGSTAFF.

T. General Corbin's office at the war derartms msnt is section Of the flag staff from which foated the stars and stripes over Fort Sumptar lwhen the garrison stationed there struck it's colors, April ] f, 1881, and left the fort in possession of the c0nfedsrates The staff was Of yellow pine and the piece in General Corbin's office is about cna feet long and nearly the same in di- ameter. It is bound with brass hoop haif an inch wide to prevent splitting, and where it is cracked the wood looks new, and thirty-eight years time has not made any rav2ges On it. Major Robert Anderson was in command Of the famous fort when it surrendered, and with his own hands hauled down the coioTs, but four yeasr later, after he had won his spurs and ranked as a maj sjoT-general, he raised the flag on the same staff from which he had low cred it four years earlier. After the ceremonies attending the flag raising were concluded the staff was divided into sections and one piece sent to the war department where it has since re- Tlained and is highly DTizcd.

we always, make women believe they have the better Of us in Q dicker,' he remarked, in effect. Put they never do. Of course, most of the stuff we buy is not worth much per pound, but the percentage of profit is big. Those beer bottles in the wagon ] paid q half cent each for, aud l will sell them for s215 cents apiece. That is not so bad-s5 for every S1 I spend and the sale is immediate. The margin on old iron is closer, but we get lot Of it given tn us. Then g great deal of the rag trade is velvet I mean lots Of persons give US rags just for our trou- hle ill carting them away. But we lose a good deal of time dlckering for stuff. We always have q market for rags and junk.

 The man who buys old rags and iron was complaining to the housewife who was driving a hard bargain with him. Th; burden of his wall was that his margins of profit were very small and that business was extremely dull.

WILSON NOMINATED.

There is no reason to believe that
 the democratic convention yesterday nominated J. F. Wilson for delegate to congress to please the republicans, but it nominated him, and every repubIi- can in the territory is bound to feel grateful to the members Of that con- vention. While the chances for repub- lioan success would have been gccd if Mark Smith had been nominated, the selection Of Wilson makes it certain that the republican candidate, pro- vided he is a representative republi- can, will have many votes to spare when the polls close on election day General Wilson represents the ncn- progressive elsment--the element that. if given it's way, would close Arizona to outside capital and enterprise and make it impossible fer the territory ever to take it's rightful place among the states Of this Union. Ths first speech that Wilson makes in the campaign will attest to his inability to rise above the plane of tDe dena- gogue. The air wil1 be full Of his ca lemity cries for the next seven weeks.
 The time has come for Arizona to as- sert itself and this Il will 60 if the re- puhlicans place strong man in the field against Wilson. This is 8 repub- lican year The republicans will nave working majorities in both houses in tn, Eext congress. The advent of a republican from Arizona, in the place of Mark Smith, will be a notice to the COL -gress that Arizona is at last in line fer advancement, and the man is dull indeed who cannot see that the outlook for statehood will be brighter than ever before. The democrats of the territory are not united, and there is ID doubt that many CT them who have the best interests Of Arizona at heart will vote for the republican nominee.
 The lesson Of the democratic ccnyen- tior in that the man who is to be nominated by the republicans at Pres lcott this week must be one whom every progressive citizen i'll be glad to sup pert. He must be big man. With such man the republicans are certain to win a great victory.

HIT AND MISS CHAT.

No, h. wasn't either joking or lying, for I have known the man for many years. His evident honesty was writ ten in every line Of his face as he told his story.
