Result of a Plot

Result of a Plot
 Paris, September f0.-President Faure sent telegram of coincidence to Emperor Francis Joseph immediately upon receipt Of the news of the assassination. The police here believe the murder the result Of plot of Italian anarchists, and that the assassin is identical with one Luccessi, who is wanted by the Bologna police as dan gerous anarchist. The man known as Lucichoni was implicated in the recent troubles at Milan, after which he fled to Seurich. While at this place Luciehoni was present at a meeting of Italian anarchists, when seven were selected, including Lucie- honi to assassinate the praincipal European sovereigns, including the King of Italy.
 French detectives who were present at the meeting in disguise warned the French foreign office which communicated its in- formation to the Italian government. As result King Humbert was carefully guarded, as was also M. Faure.
 About a week ago another meeting of the same band of anarchists was held at Seu- rich, and those who had been selected at the previous meeting were accused of cow ardice Thereupon Lucichoni said: Il will snow that am no COWaTu. VIII hiii Solho one."
 The following day he left Seurich, pro- ceeding thence to Geneva.

All Are We'll Known

It would have been difficult for the pres ident to have selected nine men more fa- yorably known to the American people, and
 yet equipped perfectly for the work they
 win be called upon to perform. Lieutenant
 General Scofield was General Miles pre-
 deeessor as commanding general of the
 United States army, and has held the un- limited confidence of all the presidents of
 the United States since Grant without re- gard to political adherence. His experi
 ence in the civil war as corps commander eminently fits him to pass judgment upon
 the operations in the field just concluded. General Gordon had about the same ex-
 perience in the confederate army as Gen. eral Scofield on the northern side, and in
 addition he has represented his state of Georgia for two terms in the United States
 senate and retired in the face of popu-
 lar demand for his reelection.
 General Granville M. Dodge Is well
 known as a man of large business inter-
 ests in New York, but even better among
 soldiers whom he led to success in the civil
 war. He also commanded an army corps
 and has never lost his interest in military affairs since entering civil life A School Man c. D. V. Gilman is one of the best known educators in the United States and at pres
 ent holding the honored post of president of
 John Hopkins University in Baltimore. He
 was selected by President Cleveland as a member of the commission appointed to settle the Venezuelan boundary contro- versy
 Chas. A. Manderson, of Nebraska, was senator from that state for two terms and also served with distinction in the war as division commander. His utilization with
 the veteran element will give weight to any
 conclusions he may reach He is at pres ent in Washington.
 Hon. Robert T. Lincoln is, of course, so well known as to need no introduction to the public and the same is almost equally
 true of Daniel s. Lamont, secretary of war under the second Cleveland administration. | Dr. w. w. Keen is citizen of Philadel- phia and enjoys the reputation of being one
 sicians in that city
 | Colonel Jas. A. Sexton is best known to the American people by his election to the post of commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. He is a Chicago man wealthy and prom inent.
 Gordon Declines Atlanta, September 10.-General Gordon has declined to serve on the commission required by Secretary Alger to investigate the conduct of the Spanish-American war, giving as a reason his unstable health.

A singularly helpless young woman

A singularly helpless young woman has been confiding her woes to the pub lie print "I am twenty-one and very good looking" she writes, keeping company with a very nice young man. He is tall, and I love him dearly, and do net think he loves me. I meet him two nights week, and when leav- ing me he never kisses me. Please tell me what to de-" So far as we un- derstand the meaning of the phrase keeping company" We should say that it clearly permits nay, demands kissing, and that if the young man fails to live up to his opportunities either he is a poor stick CT the girl fatters herself in thinking that she is good looking. But what confession of weakness on her own part she makes! No woman should need to be told how to make man kiss her.

oughly visionary and incorrect. It is not the least interesting feature of the disintegration of the silver movement tha while, the so-called leaders like Jones of Arkansas, Bailey of Texas and even Billy Boy Bryan, have prac- tically abandoned it for the issue of imperialism" some of the backwoods journals are still talking as if silver occupied as prominent place in poli- tics today as it did in 1896. Some peo- pie have to wait for a house to fall on them before they realize that the wind is blowing. We say to the Bulletin that the gold breeze is blowing right here in Arizona, and it is more than likely to develop into cyclone in time to give us statehood during the present administration. We advise the Bulletin to take a few weeks off and study conditions as they exist outside of it's valley.

CONCERNING STATEHOOD.

Commenting in it's usual courteous
 style upon The Republicans assertion that Arizona ought to emerge from
 this war with an unassailable claim
 for statehood, and that the desired leg islation might be secured but for the yawping of the free siiverites, the Ari- zona Bulletin declares that Arizona prefers to remain territory if 1t can't have free silver, and that there is no hope for Arizona until a free silver democrat is in the White House. Ari- zona prefers" nothing of the sort, Bulletin. She is forging to the front as a gold and copper producer, and times are continually growing better
 The sixteen to one" vagary has been exploded. The republican party will do for silver all that any conservative friend of silver has right to ask. Gold will continue to be the standard, but silver will be used in increasing Quan- titles. Of course the silver propa- ganda will not be satisfied with any, thing short of free coinage, for it is interested in silver mines, but the masses, who do not possess silver mines, and who have a direct interest in a stable currency. will not again give ear to pleas in behalf ofI silver that have been shown, through the commercial and industrial develop. ments of the past year, to be thor.

OUR SUMMER CLIMATE.

It is said that eighty per cent of the
 Phoenix population who can raise
 money enough to reach the Pacific coast has, or intends, leaving for a cooler climate. About ten per cent of the Tucson population that can afford this luxury have already departed for the coast and others are contemplating a coast summering Tucson is not so
 unsufferably warm as Phoenix. Then we have many mountain reorts near by which are largely patronized by Tue son people during the heated term Tucson Star.
 Well-tc-do people of Phoenix seek change of climate and scene once a year. In this they follow custom as old as the world. Thousands of east ern people come to Phoenix every win ter in pursuance of this custom. It is good custom for people of means to adopt Everybody would adopt it, if possible. The Star overlooks this in it's silly effort to injure Phoenix Of course it is hot here in summer It is hot in the big cities of the east. It is uOI cte1 yWucI6 III Iuc MlSSlSSlppl duu Missouri valleys. Why shouldn't it be? But it's no hotter here now than it was a few years ago when Phoenix was a 'dobe town. Phoenix has grown faster than any other town in Arizona, and strangely enough, from the Stars standpoint, most of it's building is done in the so-called hot season.
 There are thousands of people in Phoenix today who find no particular discomfort in the weather. Many who have come here for their health are improving in this dry, clear air. The summer climate here has its decided advantages. Its disadvantages are not so bad as they are pictured by certain lightweight newspapers that ought to have more public spirit than to try to perpetuate the wrong impression that prevails in the east concerning Ari- zona's climate.
