Senator Edward O. Wolrott ol
 Colorado. is described by the cocre
 spoudent of the Globe Democra as
 being the dude of the Senate He
 is said to possess seventy five suits
 of clothes, and he never wears a
 pair of trousers mere than three
 times. His clothes are always of the
 most fashionable cut, and It Is even
 alleged that he changes his costume
 two or three times during a long days session at the capitol, keeping
 a small wardrobe in his committee
 room for that purpose.
 An exchange says that it has been discovered that in consequence of certain reforms introduced in the postoffice department while Mir Cleveland was president, the govern ment has been robbed of hundreds of. thousands of dollars, and possi- bly, millions. This is a sample of evil service law as administered by Grover.
 The advocates of the Loud news paper suppressing bill are bombard- ing congress with all kinds of argu- ments, written, oral, and liquid, to secure the suppression of the coun- try newspaper. Congressman are button holed every day by some one of the numerous lobby engaged in the nefanous business of limiting Information to the people.

SOMEWHAT VAGUE 1NvonuATIoS.


 According Co a Washington tele gram. Mark smith is actively en- gagged ia Naslia trying to accomplish some tL. The tele- gram, as uu5Ilshed, la. b, is rather vagu- ia the iufsrmat..l 1t contains l. says:
 "Ds.e-tte smith wil go before tu. Committee Ol Territories to- morrow la tHe interest of Arizona. He WI. urge the reporting of a measure apVropuating S30,OO0 for a public building in Northern Ari- z1ua, fine building to be used for land offices, PCstUiHce and United States court, the government to be given the site Tor the building, and lhe money O be expended under the authority of a commission of Arizona citlL-ls appointed by the President The blI seems to meet with general fav0r, and 1t Is thought that it will secure a favorable con- siderati0u."
 Northern Arizona has only one land office, but has several post offices. The land office as well as the United States court Is located m Prescott at present, aud 1t would be interesting to know in just what particular spot in Northern Arizona Mr. Smith intends to locate this building, providing he gets his appropriation.

CIVIL SERVICE DOOMED.

It is almost certain that the civi
 service law will be materially
 changed before this congress ad jDurus. There is a strong feeling ir
 favor of its total abolition. MT Cooney, a Missouri democrat, and Mir. Landis an Indiana republican, both declared in favor of the total abolition of the commission and the substitution of a practical depart mental examination, with a temper ary appointment to test the ability of the applicant, then an appoint ment for a limited term of years, always with the power of removal left in the head of the department This plan seems to find favor with a
 rge number of people in both houses. The absurdity of the meth eds practiced by the commission have been fully shown up. The plan as outlined above has all the features of practical business about 1T, an element totally lacking in the civil service commission.

The value of astriking title to an article or story is understood by no American periodical so we'll as The
 Ladies' Home Journal, writes a New
 York correspondent. It has made
 it's titles famous by their unique
 ness. Its "Side Talks With Girls"
 Heart to Heart Talks" and "Un-
 known Wives of We'll Known Men,"
 have been ridiculed and paraphrased
 from one end of the country to the
 other. But it has all been grist for
 the Philadelphia periodical. Just
 now the title of the "Inner Expe-
 riences of a Cabinet Members Wife"
 IS attracting attention. Julia Ma
 gruder's new love story is given the
 title of "A Heaven-Kissing HilP'-l taken from Shakespeare, really, but
 who but the Journal would have thought of iti Marioh Crawford's new story is called "The Dead Smile"-a title good enough to sell any story. 'The Men 1 Never Mar ried," is tackled to a new series. The Man Under ThIrty-fve" made 1 the reputation of Lillian Bell in this magazine. "My Literary Passions" under which Mr. Howells wrote in | the Journal, served at once to at tract attention. Julian Hawthorne | sends a strong story to the magazine, but with a poor title. It is imme- diately rechristened There are no Wolves Tn Ireland" Yet each title adopted by this clever magazine fits the story and is really the best caption for it. "A minister of the World" started that story on its success. "Mr. Beecher as I Knew Him" was an inimitable title for Mrs. Beecher's memoirs ot her hus- band. The Gentleman who is go- ing to die" is the caption for a forthcoming story by Clara Morris. Talk about cleverness in titles, what is such a postmaster in srt as is The Ladies Home Journsl7 And a newspaper man knows how difficult this art of title making is. But nothing is so valuable in attract. ng the eye of the public. !

Arizona has the finest all the year round climate in the world. ani that in the vicinity of Prescott is the finest all the year round samples to be found in Arizona. This assertion is made in all earnestness although the thermometer this morning reg istered below zero. On account of the dryness of the atm 1sphere how ever the effects on the system was not greater than a temperature of fifteen above would be in the humid atmospheres Of the east. No one suffered from the cold, but on the contrary this low temperature is bracing to the system, sending the blood tinghng through ones veins, in a most exhilaratiug manner.
