Pinal Co., Ariz., March 12,
1899, by the Only Crank.
A French i1nperialist talks,
and this is what he says: sMy
countrymen may look at Amer
lea and see what France might
have been, and doubtless would
be today, the strongest, the
richest and the proudest nation
in the world-yes, in fact, she
might be the mistress of the
world if her rulers at the close
of the last century had been
statesmen of large capacity and
business foresight, such as are
the present rulers in the Ameri-
can States, instead of the SEN
tinental noodles that they
were. France would not now
be obliged to sit quiet in her
little seven by-nine potato
patch while her great rival,
the child of her nursing, is
walking off with the best part
OF two hemispheres. Oh, that
the Great Napoleon the first
had sat in the place Of the i'm
becile Louis when those rebel
counties were in revolt against
their King. Would he have
been so silly as to free them
from the British yoke out of
pure sympathy only? Would
he have spent his leisure to fit
out fleet and equip an army
and sending them over there
just for the fun of driving out
the Britons? And when the
job was done, pick up his traps
and sail away satisfied with
empty thanks for his pay? Not
much Old Buony wasn't built
that way; neither is his Ameri-
can prototype, William McKin-
ley. Like the latter, he would
have instructed his generals to
make no undue concessions to
Washington and his ragged
rebels; that he would deal with
them in due time Then after
John Boil had been driven from
the country he would have paid
him twenty millions for the
chance to get a whack at those
Yankee swamp foxes himself.
Then he would have said to
Washington and the other bar
barians, You and your country
now belong to me; Ipaid twenty
millions for you and you must
submit to my military rule till [
see fit to change it. ,
'.Then instead of taking his
fleets and armies back to France
he would have sent reinforce
over and garrisoned every avail
able point. Then if those an
archist rebels made any kick
and refused to be civilized he
would have knocked hail Co
lumbia out of them just as
Mckinley is knocking it into
those other savages in the Phil
ippines. Then as a warning to
future would be revolutiOnists
and to thoroughly and perma-
nently impress the wholesome
lesson on the minds of the ig-
norant rabble, that the lawfully
and divinely constituted author
ity must be obeyed and are not
to be trifed with he would have
promptly guillotined such lead
ers as Washington, Paine, JET
ferson, Franklin, the Adamses
and others. Had this been done
that bloody page in our history
that every FrenChman of noble
lineage must ever regard with
horror and shame, would have
never been written. because the
real instigators of the famous,
or rather the infamous tragedy
of 1898 would not have an exist
ence. and their anarchistic Dec
laration Of independence would
have been suppressed and the
great North American continent

It is pretty we'll understood
now that the scarcity of cattle
buyers in this vicinity this
spring is caused by those gen
tlemen having formed a pool and
designating one firm to do the
buying for each locality. There
by thinking to control the price
and keep down opposition But
this arrangement will hardly
avail them so far as this section
is concerned, as most, il not all
of our cattlemen are in a condi-
ton to ship their own cattle to
market, if the prices are not
satisfactory. We are informed
that the firm of Clay, Robinson
& Co., of Kansas City, has been
allotted this district by the pool.

Several packing houses in
Riverside are employing Japs
and Chinese. When the Phil
ippines are annexed thousands
of Filipinos will be coming over
to this country and they will
be glad to work for about half
what is now paid the Japs and
Chinese. It begins to look like
the time is coming when an
American will be glad to get 40
cents d day. This is the mean

OUR CITY GOVERNMENT.

| Now that the excitement attending
another state election has passed, local
politicians are turning their attention to
municipal candidates. Many members
| of both branches of the city government
| have announced their intention to retire
from office with the end of their pres
| ent term.
1t is less than two weeks to the NUM-
cipal caucuses, which have been set for
the evening of Nov. Il. In the mean
| time candidates without number will
doubtless announce themselves ready to
fill the vacancies. In several of the re-
publican wards, contests for seats in the
common council may be expected, and
ward has expressed a desire to be
represented in the board of aldermen.
For two years this ward has been with
out representation in the upper board,
owing to the fact that Mayor Dodge was
a resident and voter in that ward
Nothing has been heard of a movement
against him, and it is probable that
if Mayor Dodge desires re-elec-
ton it may be his for the asking. Ger
tain it is that his popularity and
strength have increased fourfold since
he was first considered as a mayoralty
candidate two years ago. With all fair
ness, it may be said that he has admin
istered the Office with credit and impair
TALLY. Important matters will have to
be decided during the next year or two.
or onIx s,, 80
tive but in both branches of the city
government do we need the very best
men who can be induced to serve the
city. The voter is wont at times to de-
precate the conduct of municipal affairs
and blame officials they have them
selves elected. 1t is at the primaries
that the choice Of candidates is made. If
the city is to have good govern
ment the coming year the republican
voters must attend the primaries and
make selection from among the best
candidates.
The republican city committee did
yeoman duty in the canvass preceding
the election of Representative John G.
Hagberg in ward g. and also on election
day, and they will do the same thorough
work in the municipal campaign But
this good work must be seconded by the
individual work of the voters them
selves. Let the republicans of the city
work in unison for the best candidates
for office, forgetting any petty jealous
les which may exist, and the city gov
eminent for 1900 will be unexcelled in
the commonwealth

DR.. BARRETT is OUT.
He Will Not Be a Candi-
date For Reelection
as Alderman.
as Alderman.

Alderman Thomas j. Barrett, who has
served two years in the upper board of
the city council with credit to himself
and his constituency. announced yes
terday that he will not be a candidate
for nomination to the office at the DEM
ocratic municipal convention. DIR. Bar
rett says he has not arrived at his de-
clslon through pressure of business, as
its demands are no greater than two
year ago when he first accepted nom
lnation, but is made because be believes
he should step aside for other demo-
Gratis.
DR.. Barrett announced his determine
ton to leave the board of aldermen this
year, several weeks ago, but influential
friends persuaded him to hold back the
positive announcement for a time in the
nope that he would reconsider and de-
eide to again represent the democracy
in the board. Dr. Barrett's views on the
matter did not change, however, and
yesterday his answer was a determined
and positive mo" to a request to be a
candidate again. Neither will be stand
for any office this year, and the hope
that he would head a democratic ticket
in the municipal convention is killed.
DR.. Barrett believes that two years is
seat in the board of aldermen. He con-
siders the favors to democrats under
the minority representation are so few
that he thinks he should step aside and
allow some other worthy democrat to
be elected to the office. His withdrawal
will remove one of the most capable
members of the board in many years.
Although elected by the democrats,
none of his official acts have been open
to the slightest criticism even from his
political opponents, and he is respected
and honored by republicans almost as
much as by the democrats. During his
term he has been selected as a member
of some of the most important commit
tees of the city council and has always
performed the duties with care and wise
judgment
DR.. Barrett appreciates the support
that has been accorded him by both
democrats and republicans during the
two years that he has been candidate
for office and on the other hand voters
of the city appreciate the work done by
DR.. Barrett while a member of the
aldermanic board.
A number of men have been men
toned to succeed DR.. Barrett in the
upper board. Among the number is Ed
ward ]. Mcmahon of ward 4, who in the
minds of leading democrats would make
a strong candidate for the office. Jetfer-
son D. Pierce, John Gray and John B..
Ratigan are others who have been
heard from in connection with the va
cancy.
