The democrats of this town would
like to- have the republicans nominate
J. D. Monahon for mayor. They know
that they could beat him hands down.
That is why they arg coddling him.
That is why the Gazette is singing his
praises. Morihon, with characteristic
density, Goes not see the joker in these
democratic testimonials. Does any
sane republican believe that the enemy
would advocate the nomination of a
strong republican? If the republicans
of Phoenix are weary of administering
the affairs of the city they need Cnly
to name Monihon fcH mayor. The
democrats will do the rest.

is an insult to the nation. Congress

GOV. HAzEN S. PINGREE.
Political Opponent Pays Glowing
Tribute to His Political Genius.

At the Pingree-Johnson love feast
following the success of their well-laid
plans in the council Saturday evening,
no representative of the people, OF
course, was requested to apply. Never
theless. the Free Fre55 Goes not pro-
pose to be debarred from contributing
its fluctuations to the gentlemen on
the manner in which they played out
their game.
All considerations of puDilc interest
aside. it was a devilish fins piece of
work for the governor politically ana
for the corporationist pecuniarily. We
can think of no two men in America
who could have executed the trick
more adroitly. Among those who
make a speciality of dnesse in such
matters lit will be bound to create
sensation. Again-leaving out of the
case the mischief the transaction is
bound to work with the hoodwinked
puibIfc-tne Free Press is forced to con-
cede the exceeding cleverness Of the
caper performed by these rare old-time
antagonists.
Diminishing from mind the Hon.
Tom johnson, whose abitty to look
out for himself in the future Develop
ments of the project is doubted by no
one. it is a pleasure to focus all our
unstinted adnlira ton upon the re
sourc eful personality of the Hon. Ha-
zen S. Pingree, municipal owner. DIS
possessed CT the city of Detroit some
two years ago by decree OF the supreme
court and of late getting very much the
worst of it from the republican party
of MICHIGAN, the man has within a few
short weeks put through d new pro
CRANE of political promotion whereby,
tlo nf
servers. machine mercenares and the
old crowd of Detroit claquers, ne has
repossessed himself of the control OF
the city and made a nHW stand Tor
prestige and pre-eminence.
His political paradise has been re-
gained. He is doing his self Wanting
al the old stand. He has control OF the
street railway situation in this city to
do with it as he sees fit. Unless he
awoke this morning a different man
| from what he was yesterday, he VIII
avail himself of the opportunity as
politician and as a man who covets IN
creasing power. Here is where the
brilliant maneuverirg has come in and
! here is where the tribute to tlreless and
| audaciOus political genius comes in.
Things have gone badly with the
governor at Lansing of late and he has
staked all on this desperate play to re-
gain lost prestige He ha}, S.iScTeC'ted
! his former professions of cCI-uence IN
! the people and OF anxiety to serve them
in rushing the scheme through. Full
surely. if he can afford to resort to
such methods and take such chances in
the final throw of the die of his politi-
cal fortunes, the people can afford to
await the issue with some degree OF
equanimity. They can afford to con-
cede the sublime selfshness and con-
ceit of the conspiracy.
All hats off to Hazen S. Pingree. mu-
nicipal owner! But, is his title to the
city of Detroit fully determined? Time

LET EUROPE SEE OUR SHIPS.

1t is intimated that four ships, com
nrising the north Atlantic squadron,
under command of Rear Admiral
Sampson, will be sent at once to South
ampton, to become the guests OF the
British navy and later to participate
in the naval assembly during which
the annual maneuvers take place. The
vessels named are the flagship New
York the cruiser Brooklyn and the
battleships Indiana and Massachusetts
All of these ships took part in the
blockade Of Santiago. Two otthem, tine
Brooklyn and Indiana, were important
factors in the destruction of the Ger
vera squadron. The other two were
not active participants in the fight
the New York having been interrupted
on her way to Siboney when the Span
ish ships appeared, while the Massa-
chusetts was at Guantanamo coallns
The four vessels are magnificent types
and both singly and collectively rep
resent the American navy, which has
Just won imperishable laurels.
1t would be eminently fitting that
such a squadron should go to England
this spring and that these same SHIPS,
after leaving English waters, should
make a tour of the ports of northern
Europe, just as did the white squadron
several years ago. Europe was amazed
at the facility with which the Amerl-
can naval forces demolished those of
Spain. Some CT the continental au-
thorities had expressed the opinion
that the Spanish ships would more
than prove a match for the American
vessels. When Cervera's squadron
came westward all sorts of predictions
were made for the discontinue of the
United States. When later Camara3
= squadron sailed eastward these sages
who had not yet learned the lesson OF
Manila bay forecasted the destruction
of Dewey and even the bombardment
of the Pacific coast.
These estimates were shown by
events to be without basis. The Amer
lean navy displayed as high state of
efficiency as the world has ever known
1t wrought maximum of damage with
a minimum of loss and established it
self as equal to the worlds best. It
would be most wholesome, therefore,
to let Europe see the kind of ships and
the kind of men that wrought the re
markabIe results OF last year. 1t
would not be visit of ostentation,
Such voyages of courtesy are often IN
dertaken. 1t is the most formal way
in which nations can call upon each
other. We have just won striking
victory. 1t would be altogether proper
and ccmmendable for us to go visiting
to exchange the compliments Of the
season and at the same time to give the
world an object lesson of American
ingenuity and skill

PROSPERITY PERMANENT.

tbs s,lverites and other pess1mlsts
continually declare that the wave OF
prosperity that is surging over the
country will soon be arrested and IL
will then recedes and leave the country
as badly off as it was when in 1896 1t
looked as though they had a show to
come into power. For one, the Times
believes that conditions have SO chang-
ed from what they were in the MD
night period Of darkness, when II
seemed possible we might abandon a
fixsd standard of value and have men
inquiring around in all directions to
know what they were to receive when
holding promises to pay dollars, that

country permanently, and that there

what will likely happen in the future

said to be much quicker than the men.

pie put into the words reminds one Of
the man who fought because he was
called biped Hams are chemically
treated, and SO is corned beef; So are
pickles and any number of other de-
lightful articles. Fair ladies' hair is
sometimes so treated without dimin-
ishing the affection of their friends,
and chemical treatment frequently
causes cur shirts to come 50 white

ton that enables the plants to grow,
and even in our s5cmaohs chemical &C
ton which digests our food Therefore,
though chemicals may have Eeen found
