 Evangelist Moody is to visit Ali zona soon after the first of January next. Arrangements have been closed to have that noted divine al Phoenix for a week. He will reach us just in time to size up an Arizona legislature in full bloom.
 The Philippines will next have 8 chance to show their teeth. Their methods of fighting are said to be characteristic of the Apache, III which event General McCord and his Arizona regiment should be cal ed into special action to make a good iob out of those "road runners"
 Tom Parish is out for chief clerk of the council of the next legisla' ture. As MT. Parish fell down fol nomination in his party, and as Zulick is not on hand with a milk bottle to succor him, the best way for democracy to keep him quiet l: to give hun anything he wants.
 The Courier says that this paper i: opposed to freight and fare bill Wrong again, as usual. NIT. Gold berg, of Maricopa, a democratic councilman elect, is on record in this matter, and promises 10 give you a good, sound law. Now wait and see if he will do so.
 The Courier speaks about bond issues for a penitentiary at Prescott and falls all to pieces. Verify the phantom toots of the old P. & A. c. still has a ring of repudiation. Give us the penitentiary, good Lord and the devil with bond or any other issues, so long as we get the pen.

 The selection of foreign wine with which the new battle ship, the Wisconsin. was christened recently in San Francisco is creating consid- erable of an ugly discussion, the feeling prevailing that California native wine should have been used on that occasion, as it was in the launching of the Oregon. If gen uine fighting beverage was wanted the Wisconsin could have been trimmed up nicely as a scrapper by taking her first bath in Arizona mescal. It's the ''stuff" that makes anything 'show its teeth" on any occasion.
 The Silver Angel ..comes out flat footed now as a bimetalist. This is very pleasing to its readers, as it wants all gold and silver mines op- erated now for all they are worth. We thought all along that the veil would be removed. Now let the good work rush on, and let of steam on the taxless, hurray for Murphy, switch on the penitentiary removal, and incidentally Bryan and Is to l, and what a glorious journ- ahstie regime Prescott will have.
