The following from the New York Journals recent declaration of it's abandonment of Bryan ought to be interesting reading for Bryan's friends in Arizona who have pinned their faith to the Journal:
 "The man who is of the opinion that the demand for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 is the best and only way in which this challenge can be given, and that no citizen who does not agree with him can be all lowed to fight on his side, may be admirable for his earnestness, but he is not to be gratulated on the size or shape of his head. Bryan may, if he chooses, stick like an oyster to the rock of 16 to 1, but the stream of new democracy will not be stationary for his sake, nor for any mans. Bryan ism will continue to grow whatever Bryan may dO.''

JUDGE STREETS DECISION.

Chief Justice Street, sitting as trial judge in the United States district court at Phoenix last Saturday ren- dered a decision in the matter of the Yavapai county against the refunding of the P. & A. c. bonds, confirming the validity of the bonds. This de- cision will take a little wind out of the taxless footing repudiation news papers, but doubtless there will be enough less to defame the judge who gave the decision. In legal matters we would suggest once again to our friends of the press that it would be as well to await judicial decisions be- for stigmatizing as frauds, steals, etc, matters of which they are either densely ignorant or are disposed ma Eciously to misreprese1t. Judge Streets decision will protect the in- nocent holders of bonds purchased in good faith and operate to restore con- fidence on the part of the moneyed people who are beseeched to put capi- tai into Arizona securities.-Jerome Mining News.

BRET HARTE'S NEW BOOK.

One can fairly breathe the air of the Sierras in Bret Harte's latest book, "The Three Partners" issued by Houghton, Miff1in & Go. of Boston. It is a story in Harte's best vein. There could hardly be three more dissimi- lar characters than Jim Stacy, Phil Demorest and George Barker, 'the three par,ners" Yet this very dissimilarity forms, by rea- son of MT Hartes thorough knowledge of human nature, the basic strength of the tale. The story of the great strike which lifts the partners from poverty to aff1uenee will have a peculiar fascination in these days of rich Klondyke discov- cries. In Jack Hamlin, the cool, in trepid gentleman gambler, we seem to see our old friend John Oakhurst in new guise. Villain though he un- questionably is there is a ruggedness in the character of Horncastle or Steptoe which appeals to the student of humanity. There is a surprising amount of action in the concluding chapters of the story, and more than a suggestion of theatrical effects, but one is sure to read to the end and re- turn a favorable verdict. ''The Three Partners" undoubtedly will have a large sale, particularly on the coast, where Bret Harte is thoroughly ap- preciated. For sale at, the city book stores.
