 It is probable that the most nota ble exhibits at the Paris Exposition in 1900, may be 8 brand new French throne and King.
 A rooster in Nogsles was recently struck by lightning and lost all hi. tail feathers except two. That I. what will happen to Col. Wilson November 8.
 Dr. Jack Frost is getting in hi. work on yellow fever in Mississippi When 1t comes to knocking out yel- low jack there is no agency so pow erful and effective ss Jack Frost.
 The first attempt to mix W. A. Clark up with politics in this coun- ty was when the Courier mentioned him very favorsbly and Aatteringly for United States senator from Ari- zona.
 Careful inspection of reports from all the congressional districts make it reasonably sure that the re- publiCans will elect a majority of the next House. Whether it will be a larger or smaller thar the ma. jority in the present House will de- pt nd upon the result of the efforts to get out the full republican vote. Push along those efforts. A Madrid telegram says that the Spanish government is chagrined at the refusal of the Americans to as- sume the Cuban and Porto Rican debts. Wonder what that country expects anywayi For this country to spend few hundred million in licking her and then pay her debts for the satisfaction of having done sol
 A few democratic papers in the territory srY trying to make it ap- pear that Col. Brodie is a populist. The reason they argue in this way no doubt is from the fact that he will receive 6 very large percentage of the populist vote in this territory in addition to the republican vote and fair sprinkling of democrats.
 Weyler is plotting to overthrow the government of Spain. While Americans have little respect for the present Spanish officials, as be- tween them and the e1-Cuban butcher. their sympathies will pre- dominate largely in favor of the former.
 Voters of this territory, by elect ing Col. Brodie, which they will do, will save Col. Wilson the humilia- tion of being referred to by con- gressmen and senators as "that man Wilson who made & trip to Wash ington in 1897 to get us to help him keep his job as attorney general of Arizona" This would be the iden- tifcation of Col. Wilson, if he should ever get to Washington as delegate.

They realize that they cannot fool all the people all the time with the same campaign cry. Hence the change of tactics, hoping to fool them with 6 new one.
 Spain finds it impossible to dis mount from her "high horse" of past prestige and face conditions as they exist today. With her navy wiped of the face of the sea, and with her army vanquished in Porto Rico, Cubs and the Philippine islands, she still insists ss a con- dition of peace terms, that the United States assume her Cuban debt and permit her to retain the Philippine islands intact.
 It was a democratic legislature that passed the first tax emption law making tsxless railroads a possibili- ty in Arizona. The bill was signed by 6 democratic governor too. All the shouts they make about the "taxless" should be directed against the party making such things pos sible rather than against the crea- tors. produced by the law of such property.
 A Phenix paper in commenting on Col. Wilson's speech in Phenix says that "the candidate did not get closer to the present than 1878 in his argument" This is 6 remarka- ble showing for Col Wilson, and demonstrates that he is progressive. During previous campaigns in which he has participated the clos est he ever reached to the living present was the time of Jefferson. | When he succeeded in passing the revolutionary period he was thought to be making pretty good time.
 The election of Brodie means an endorsement by Arizona of the gold standard, but you can't fool the
